Here is was I wrote back on 06/28/17:
New season of "Big Brother" begins tonight. I'll miss some of the first episode due to Church Council, but apparently Iowa is getting represented this season. His name is Jason and he's a rodeo clown. Hopefully he's not a dick so that I can cheer him on without reservation.Soon enough, I found myself disgusted by this season. Nothing but BB18 alumni Paul running the show to the point of boredom -- except for when the houseguests begin mobbing and bullying individual members.
I realized tonight that I hadn't seen an episode of the program in over two weeks. I still generally keep up by following stuff on Twitter and through a "Big Brother" podcast. But I can't stand Paul, so why bother watching the show since it's all about Paul's glacial march towards winning BB19, right?
But Jason... Jason is in the news for a pretty stupid reason. Earlier this week, he was talking to Alex, Josh, and Paul about fellow houseguest Kevin and jokingly threatened to rape Kevin's wife when he got out of the Big Brother House:
Jason said that if Kevin were to put any of his allies up on the block he would make the father of seven regret it. "I'll f--- your wife when I get out of here. I'm going to tie up all your daughters and make them f---ing watch," Jason said, laughing.This is the second time that Jason joked about rape in the Big Brother House. He offered to hold fellow Raven down while the other guests raped her anally. Everyone laughed uncomfortably, but also reminded him that there's a line and that he'd completely demolished it.
Jason is unaware that news of his rape jokes are going viral, but his family at home is trying to do some Twitter-based damage control:
