Were the 'Big Brother 15' houseguests warned about racial slurs?

1 hour ago

The ugly comments that the "Big Brother 15" houseguests have been making against women, racial minorities and gays have been well-documented lately -- so, do the producers warn the hamsters about making them? Don't keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled about the live feeds, though sign up for the live feeds and follow along for yourself.

Sunday evening (June 30) at 7:27 p.m. Pt, somebody in the backyard starts using the "Big Brother" public address system voice and goes, "Houseguests, just a reminder" -- and Amanda butts in and goes, "Do not make racial slurs against other houseguests."

Then Spencer says to her, "Do you want to scream that out a little louder?"

So, were the houseguests warned with the feeds turned out not to make racial slurs? We wonder if production told them how some of them are coming across? And was it just racial slurs, or was it other stuff too? »

'Devious Maids' episode 2 - 'Setting the Table': True love and true creepiness

14 hours ago

Before we launch into what happened on "Devious Maids" this week, we need to honor the creepiness and sexiness.

The episode's creepiest moment: Adrian Powell saying, while starting to breathe heavy, "I love to watch women clean. I find it stimulating."

And its sexiest: Carmen naked inside the piano. (That is not a euphemism for anything.)

After all of the criticism about how this series reinforces stereotypes, the second episode proves a nuanced view of Latinas.

Lifetime's Sunday series features savvy women who work as maids. When the four women gather for a quick break, Marisol (Ana Ortiz) is reading the news about her son being held as the suspect in the murder that kicked off the series. The other women are relieved that someone has been arrested -- after all, Flora was their friend.

They already know Marisol is different, and Marisol is not about to let anyone in »

'Dexter' Season 8 premiere: The psychopath whisperer is on to Dexter

15 hours ago

"Dexter" is back for its final season on Showtime, featuring two storylines we are immensely intrigued by, one of which we definitely did not see coming.

It's six months later from where Season 7 left off. Batista is the new lieutenant because Deb left the force, which only makes sense after she killed Laguerta to keep Dexter's secret.

At first, it seems as though Deb is spiraling way out of control, doing drugs and cavorting with a criminal, which turns out to be a double fake out. We find out she's working for a private security company tracking down bail-jumpers, so initially, it does not seem like she has actually gone over to such a dark place.

However, when Dexter shows up to "save" Deb and stabs Briggs, her jewelry thief boyfriend, Deb is actually upset about. She wasn't so much "undercover" as she was moving on into "the s***ty hell that she deserves. »

'True Blood' Season 6 episode 3 recap: 'You're No Good,' but Anna Camp's return definitely is

15 hours ago

Let's face it, the best part of "True Blood's" third episode "You're No Good" was the triumphant return of Anna Camp as Sarah Newlin. She last appeared on the series back in Season 2, but she and Michael McMillian's Steve Newlin barely missed a beat with their spot-on chemistry when they were finally reunited four seasons later. Of course she's working for the enemy, of course she's super mad at her formerly fanatically anti-vampire, currently gay vampire ex-husband and of course she had the best lines of the episode. Even though they only had minutes of screen time together, Camp and McMillian crackled in this episode and our hope is that we see a lot of them together in the coming episodes of Season 6.

But the focus of "You're No Good" wasn't on this former couple, but rather on the new pairs who are shaping up to be love interests. »

'Ray Donovan' review: Showtime's new drama aims for greatness and misses the mark

15 hours ago

There's something both frustrating and fascinating about the way Showtime's classy but surprisingly dull new drama "Ray Donovan" aspires to greatness.

It's as if someone collected the right ingredients -- an impressive and eclectic ensemble cast, a distinguished creative team, a network that supports and encourages adult storytelling -- but lacked the creative inspiration necessary to combine them into something truly extraordinary. The result is a strange imitation of top tier TV drama. It looks, sounds and feels right, but the flavor isn't there -- you know you've had better.

"Donovan" stars Liev Schreiber in the title role, TV's latest straight white male anti-hero with anger issues and a sensitive side just waiting to surface. It's Schreiber's first series regular role and ostensibly gives him quite a lot to do since Ray is the anchor for the show's multiple areas of interest.

'Big Brother 15': The Moving Company is the first alliance formed

16 hours ago

Time for the first real episode of "Big Brother 15" -- no more silly intros, now we get some game play. Bring it on, hamsters!

If you're dying to find out what happens ahead of time, sign up for the live feeds. They've been chock full of action and drama so far this season.

Twist Fallout

We pick things up with the houseguests being all gobsmacked about the Mvp and third nominee twist. Jeremy, don't try to act like you understand "Big Brother" by saying this changes the game completely. Dude doesn't even know Power of Veto rules (feed info).

He also says you have to be nice to everybody, which he will quickly prove he is unable to do. Then Aaryn ditzes, "I'm all for Mvp because I'm going to get it more than once." Don't be so sure about that, crazy.
