PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
There's two problems, though. The first is that with this cast, her beliefs put her close to being in the majority -- and that's just with the ones who've spoken. That's a lot of protection in and of itself. If those she's verbally targeted learn of it and get HoH or MVP, she could go up. But...
...and worst-case, if enough people vote based on being physically attracted to her, she could get an MVP or six herself. Guess who she's putting up every time?
The other issue: I don't think Ragan is going to get his wish. If we had one bigot in the cage, CBS might consider exposing them -- or rather, Grodner might for about five seconds before rejecting the idea. (It's seldom happened, and we can all think of numerous examples who were protected all the way to their personal ends. Kind of makes you wonder what she personally believes.) But this is nearly half the cast. The network isn't likely to risk losing a huge number of viewers to backlash against most of the player population, they won't pick up many who support them -- and this was one of the lowest-rated season premieres for the franchise to begin with.
