Big Brother 8 USA Entertainment Tonight Canada Preview

Agreed, judy. So the question here is, why then does Julie not use her obvious pull with CBS to get some more diversity on the show?

[gaIIery]

I gotta agree with snuka on this. It's so archaic to place only one person of colour in the house and call that racial diversity. Does Julie Chen really believe that the producers looked but were unable to find a single Asian person who was suitable to add to this year's cast? Nonsense.

[judysweetfunny]

Jule Chen's husband is the head of CBS if Julie wanted six asian people in the house, I bet they would be there.....

Just because all the other ppl look "white" doesnt mean they are...usually the first to point the finger...ya know...

[SpecialK234]

If you specifically chose a certain number of ethnic minorities that would Racial Descrimination would it not?

[caroleroth]

I think they are tryng to get another will and janelle love story going this year. Doubt we will ever see anything like that again. They need to shake it up with some extremes. Religious right, liberals,

young old and all ethnic groups. Maybe a new show, 14 people picked by lottery tickets. That would be fun.

[bluefuzzypeach]

Come on, you don't think out of thousands of applicants they couldn't find more than one black person or someone of another race other than white?

[alessandro223]

oh che palle snuka...

[snuka12000]

Out of the 14 houseguests on Big Brother 8, why is there only one African-American person?

The racial diversity and integration on this show is poor and disgusting.

At least 5 of the houseguests' ethnicity should be something other then White.

I don't know what the casting director and/or producer of Big Brother is thinking but they are not thinking about the importance of racial diversity and integration.

[KevinMunro]

Maybe because no interesting African-American or other ethic groups don't apply?

They only cast the best that APPLY.

[something142007]

in what way is that racist??

if we're all supposed to be treated as equal

than what does it matter how many black people there are compared to white?

if we're all supposed to be the same then what does it matter?

i highly doubt that the people who chose who went in the house only chose because of their skin colour.

[aroneous]

good question: why is there an african american person?

[gaIIery]

I think this is the worst produced season of Big Brother and hopefully they'll get someone better to run the show next season.
