Caution: Spoilers for upcoming episodes of “Big Brother” ahead! The over-the-top drama is starting early on season 24 of “Big Brother”.
It’s been one week since the new slate of 16 houseguests moved in, and strong cliques have formed and allegations of racism and racial bias have already made headlines.
The primary focus of some fans’ ire is on the treatment of Taylor Hale, a 27-year-old personal stylist and former Miss Michigan USA, who almost immediately became the target of rumours and bullying that have many fans — and former “Big Brother” contestants — slamming the behaviour of several houseguests.
After season 23’s historic victory by The Cookout — an alliance of the season’s Black houseguests which stuck together for the singular goal of making sure one of them became the show’s first-ever Black champion — the surprisingly quick turn against some of this season’s Black contestants became even more jarring.
