“Big Brother” houseguest Aaryn Gries finally found herself in the hot seat after being evicted from the Big Brother house by a unanimous vote last night. Her exit interview was quite possibly the most anticipated moment of the season, and we’re only halfway to the finale!
The 22-year-old Texas native sparked controversy earlier in the season with a slew of racist and homophobic remarks directed at fellow houseguests. “Be careful what you say in the dark, might not be able to see the bitch,” she said of black houseguest Candice. Additionally, Gries told Asian houseguest Helen to “go make some rice,” and referred to gay houseguest Andy as “queer.”
CBS was urged by fans to air the comments during national broadcasts (they were previously only heard on live feeds available 24/7 online), prompting the show to air the first disclaimer in its 13-year-history.
Gries was welcomed by a mixed reaction from a live audience during the broadcast last night. She’s been in sequester while filming the show (and will remain in sequester until the finale next month), so she is still unaware that her remarks have sparked controversy and caused her to lose her job.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Being Southern is a stereotype, and I have said some things that have been taken completely out of context,” she told host Julie Chen during her exit interview. “I do not mean ever to come off racist — that’s not me, and I apologize to everyone I’ve offended for that.”
After Chen read some of Gries’ remarks back to her, the college student added “I feel horrible. I really feel bad that this is how it’s being seen and how I’ve come across to people. I don’t want to be seen like that.”

Aaryn…you are a horrible pathetic excuse for a human…Saying and using being Southern as an excuse…is just that an excuse….wait..maybe all Southerners are like that..

AARNY. Perhaps her parents meant to call her ARYAN and were too stupid to spell it correctly. Anyhow, if the name fits….
boring
Motherfucker, you don’t feel horrible about your comments, you feel horrible for being caught in the act.

Of course she feels horrible – about losing her modeling gigs and potential earnings, no doubt. She is a blip on the screen and needs to be ignored from now on.

So she blames her racism on being a Southerner…but how does she explain those awful eyebrows?

1. The remarks were not taken out of context.
2. I love her comment “I do not mean to ever come off rac-ist” See, that’s the problem, she is SUCH a rac=ist and hangs out with such rac-ists that it never even occurred to her how terrible her remarks would come off to people who aren’t bigots.
3. She’s just another person who doesn’t think they did anything wrong, but she is VERY sorry that she got caught.
P.S. Queerty, come on, it is ridiculous that race-ist is filtered as a word here.

1. Don’t know who “she” is.
2. Don’t care who “she” is.
3. Don’t care what “she” says.
4. “She” is a nobody.
5. “Her” 15 minutes of fame is over.
6. Now, just go away.

She got called out on her prejudice THEN she felt awful.

@Christopher: Only if I can watch! I can’t wait for this evil bitch to realize her life has been ruined. I normally don’t hate reality people I don’t know, but I wish nothing but the worst for her. Hopefully they televise her sucking the end of a .357. Must see TV.

I’m sorry, she’s a stupid kid who made an ass of herself, but these comments are crazy to me. Wishing for her suicide? That’s disturbing.

I think Aaryn came into the BB15 house having lived a typical Texas existence in which “jokes” demeaning people who differ from you are the norm. However, I do think as the weeks have passed she has learned better. She genuinely befriended Helen (Asian) and Andy (gay), and I think she changed her way of looking at people who are different from her. So I give her credit for learning and leaving the house a better person than when she went it.
