Over the past few days in the Big Brother 15 house, racism and homophobia have reared their ugly heads loudly. Several of the Big Brother 2013 cast members have openly made racist and homophobic comments seemingly without any consequences, as Zap2It.com noted in a recent article. Should CBS Big Brother take action against these HouseGuests for using hate speech heard by thousands of fans on the Big Brother Live Feeds? Or should the Big Brother 15 cast be allowed to say whatever they feel like, no matter what?

Big Brother 2013 is the season for showmances apparently. Just in the Big Brother 15 premiere alone, there were so many flirts and “they are so hot” comments going around, we couldn’t even keep track. We’re already seen several HouseGuests making moves and there is even a rumor two of them have already hooked up! (Although we didn’t personally see the alleged makeout session.)

Miss the Big Brother 15 premiere? Wondering who was evicted on Big Brother tonight, if anyone? The Big Brother premiere is always a risky time for the HouseGuests, because you never know when there might be a sudden twist elimination before the game even really begins!

Big Brother 2013 cast HouseGuest Spencer Clawson is our second ginger of the season and works as a railroad conductor. It is a rather unusual job in this day and age. Spencer says he is a hardcore Big Brother fans since season 6 and tries to recruit new watchers every year. He thinks Big Brother should be advertised as a “contest” rather than “reality TV” because it is so much more than those other trashy reality shows out there. He’s been thinking about trying out for years, but he finally took the plunge and was chosen at a live audition.

Something about Big Brother 15 cast member Nick Uhas just makes us feel… a bit creeped out. We’re not sure why. Maybe it’s his tendency to squeal and make high-pitched noises when talking about being a “professional stunt inline skater” — which we don’t think actually qualifies as a job. Notice how Big Brother 15 officially labels him as an “entrepreneur” not an “inline skater.” He actually says being an inline skater “defines who I am,” which we find a little sad.

When we saw photos of Big Brother 2013 cast member McCrae Olson, we were pretty sure he was going to be a totally dorky, freakish dude with a high whiny voice. Turns out he is a totally weird, dorky guy with a kind of sexy hot voice. If you close your eyes while he talks, you get a totally different picture in your head than when you look at him while he talks. Strange.

Big Brother 2013 cast member Kaitlin Barnaby bears kind of a resemblence to Famke Janssen in our opinion, until she opens her mouth and starts talking a little like that chick from Fargo. The contrast is a bit confusing and disturbing. Kaitin is a Catholic school girl that now works as a bartender. So she already fits into two “hot girl” stereotypes right off the bat. She says she is a very competitive person but also a kind girl with a big heart. We think she is the queen of clichés.

Big Brother 2013 HouseGuest Judd Daughtery is a “normal, small town guy from the South” and he has an annoying habit of talking to the camera instead of the person interviewing him. We suspect he might be one of the Big Brother 15 cast members who give inane monologues to the Big Brother Live Feeds cameras in the morning when the rest of the hamsters are still sleeping…

Big Brother 15 cast certainly has plenty of Texas representation this year. Jessie Kowalski is another Texas born and raised HouseGuest for the 2013 season. She’s currently unemployed after losing her job, but we suspect a “I wanted to be a model or beauty pageant winner” past. We might just be biased though because so many female Big Brother players are rejects from ModelMayhem.

Big Brother 2013 HouseGuest Howard Overby is a youth and family advocate/counselor, a very noble profession in our opinion. He’s quite the soft spoken guy despite his athletic kind of tough guy build. He thinks the Big Brother 15 casting crew picked him because of his “realness” and because he is not fake at all — but you never quite know what he is thinking, so he’s also hard to predict. Normally that kind of “I’m so real” speech puts us off, but from him, we kind of believe it. We’ll see what happens when the cameras go on! He could quickly evolve into being insufferable.
