Speaking of "stomaching it"... Aaryn Gries recently came into the HOH room and swigged a bottle of finger-nail polish. I have no clue why and I strongly discourage anyone from ever attempting this. Here is a GIF of the incident:
But back to the source of this post. There is an effort by Big Brother fans to get one of the current Houseguests, Amanda Zuckerman, kicked off the program for threatening and bullying others, as well as for ongoing racist comments. I've seen these online petitions on both Facebook and Change.org:
Amanda Zuckerman is on the reality show Big Brother. She is a horrible bully. She threatened to kill Elissa in her sleep. She spent hours today following her around the house harassing her. Horrible bullying behavior and many of us are sick to death of watching it go on and we want something done NOW! We have watched Aaryn, GM and Kaitlin earlier in the season do/say horrible things and nothing was done. And now we are sick of it all. I for one will NOT be watching or ever paying for live feeds again if this is the type of behavior you are promoting. It is disgusting. And it breaks my heart that you all are doing nothing about it. Elissa has been locked in her HOH room all day because of this. This is WRONG! And I would hope this is not the type of behavior you wish to promote. This petition was started because there are a lot of us out here in TV land that feel something needs to be done. So now the ball is in your court. But you should listen to your viewers....because if you don't...you could be having some serious ratings issues in the weeks to come.One of the supporters of this particular online petition shared why she wants to see Zuckerman kicked from the show:
She is malicious, vicious, and has destroyed property (of) Elissa on camera. She forced this contestant to hide upstairs behind a locked door, to keep from being verbally and physically attacked. Amanda has asked another contestant, Aaryn, to share her prescription medication Adderall with her (and she did!), and (this) was documented on camera, I saw it on the feeds. Aderall is a CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, and production did nothing to stop this. Amanda is exhibiting psychotic behavior, and appears on the feeds to be a danger to herself and others. The racist comments and verbal abuse is disgusting to watch. For her own safety and the safety of her fellow contestants, Amanda should be removed from the Big Brother house and game IMMEDIATELY.Here is the nutshell explanation on what's being described above. Elissa is the Head of Household. She nominated Aaryn and McCrae for eviction from the Big Brother House. Amanda (McCrae's girlfriend within the house) won a contest that allowed her to protect herself and McCrae from eviction. They then unsuccessfully sought to sway Elissa to offer up somebody else of their choosing to replace McCrae. Elissa then began a daylong campaign of harassment against Elissa. She dressed up like an old woman and claimed that Elissa was married to an old man. She made fun of her children and her parenting skills. She followed her around everywhere blowing horns in her ears. She vandalized her property. It was uncomfortable to watch and it was indicated that CBS production eventually told her to knock it off.
I personally don't know that she should be kicked off the program, but Zuckerman is the chief reason why I don't enjoy watching this program anymore. And that's saying something with this cast!
It is worth noting that Amanda Zuckerman has apparently lost her realtor license. This would make her the fourth Houseguest from the current season to find their employment jeopardized.
