I know I'm getting technical here, but when I think of crucifixion (other than the obvious literal definition of being nailed to a cross) in a figurative sense, I think of treating someone with injustice or needlessly tormenting the accused.

Therefore my thoughts are she wasn't really "crucified"...simply put, Aaryn got the edit she deserved. Yes, we also had a dose of GinaMarie and Spenser on the bandwagon of inappropriate comments. But based on reports I've heard, what we saw/heard on Sunday's telecast, and DR confessionals from more than one HG, Aaryn CLEARLY was the worst offender...and being the reigning HOH put even more focus on her.

As harsh as some may feel the edit was, it's nothing compared to what Aaryn and GinaMarie have waiting for them (or should I say DON'T have waiting for them) when they walk out of the House and into their unemployment offices.

If both attend the Season Finale I'm certain we'll see more tears between them in one hour than Helen provided the entire season, along with endless apologies and appeals to try to meagerly salvage whatever is left of their pathetic and pitiful characters.

Spenser, on the other hand, is another story. As a Conductor I'm going to assume he's probably unionized. If in fact that's true, short of premeditated murder, embezzlement, or raping a co-worker, his job is safe; so I'm fairly certain he will still have a job when he goes back home despite any inappropriate behavior he displayed in the House.

Union Pacific has distanced itself from his comments, and has said everything has to go through the collective bargaining agreement. I assume he can't be fired, probably can get a reprimand put in his file that may be the difference between him and someone else getting a promotion, etc. down the road.

Spencer probably will have a job when he gets home, and the union probably have a lot to do with that, but there are ways to get rid of bulletproof employees short of crimes.

I have a friend who works for the federal government, and he describes the ultimate job security goal of federal employment as being "vested," which likely offers similar protection to a union. According to him, there are only two ways to get fired, and what you described above is one of them. The other? The exact same thing Ginamarie got canned for - the N-bomb. So if Spencer had said the N-word, it's likely he could have been fired. (Yes, I know what he said was a slur just the same, but there are insults, there are slurs, and then there's the N-word.)

Also, Aaryn may end up going from cannon fodder to the perfect F2 pawn. A poop-throwing monkey would probably win a 7-0 jury vote over Aaryn, given that her boy toy is out of the house.

I don't watch the live feeds....and it hasn't been reported, but what DID spenser say???

I thought his was mostly sexist rather than racists. I think he's used the C-word a few times, but I lose track these days as there has been so much by so many.

Spencer's the one who openly praised Nazi medical experiments.

It's really a very special hamster assembly, isn't it?

Furthermore, he referred to Andy as Kermit the...ahem, Cigarette.

Well, technically you're correct about my original post. and before anyone decides to jump down my throat, let me preface this by saying what aaryn & gm said was wrong and stupid, etc...pick your adjective. ( i don't know what spenser said) But i guess what i am questioning is why ya'll think they're getting "run over with a bus" so badly. Again, what they said was totally wrong, but why is it that some people seem to be able to get away with saying certain things and others don't? that's my question. of course, as i say on FB, i'm an equal opportunity snarker. But my snarking tends to be at opinions as opposed race...but that's just me. again, appreciate hearing all ya'lls thoughts on this!

one more thing, why/how did we lose estee?

Well there was so many comments by so many of the cast that it was making news all over the place and CBS was probably getting a lot more pressure than they usually do when they hide the ugly side of specific houseguests.

They could have run the bus over more of them, but there is only so much time and I think the what will happen to Aaryn after her HOH is over will mean she needs to be shown more, and I think she's done more of it and seems more clueless about it than anyone else.

What made Estee quit the show was everything they showed was from the previous week and wasn't shown in sync with when it happened.

It is good, IMO, they finally showed it, but they made it seem like she was only that obnoxious because David was gone, not that she's been that way since day one even when she had her snuggle bunny.

But my snarking tends to be at opinions as opposed race...
Precisely why this is an issue. Aryan cannot separate the game from her racist feelings. She blames the minority hamsters (misguidedly) for her anger, her position, her feelings, her opinions, etc.
They are bitchy, because they're black. For instance.
(and I ask myself, what is her excuse then?)
She refuses to feed the black fish for goodness sakes. She has a SERIOUS problem with color and race. and it extends to everyone (and everything) resembling or reminiscent of black culture. And Asian culture, and gay culture...

BUT. She is not the only one. She does it out of ignorance and intolerance. Jeremy does it out of bravado and confrontation. Spencer does it because he hates women. GinaMarie does it to fit in.
And now, it's so prevalent that other hamsters are feeling powerless to combat it.
CBS has been trying their best to warn them by pulling individuals into the DR and explaining that things are getting out of control. To no avail, so far.
It's gotten so bad that CBS is shutting down feeds tomorrow so the entire cast can assemble for "sensitivity training".
YUP!
For real.

Oh My Heck, is Dingo getting her wish? Although I doubt they'll bring in the trainer she wants them to.
