In the Big Brother universe of mostly-inarticulate layabouts, gays and anti-gays (preferably in the same house) make for awesome, friction-filled television. Fans will remember the season of the gay ex-lovers who hated each other and the straight football player who confessed to blowjobby experimentation. Superfans obsessively following the international versions were treated to a Brazilian housemate so homophobic and ignorant it was almost shocking.
But that was then. This is now. And Now is just like Then, so not to worry.
This week on Big Brother 13, returning housemate Jeff gets into it with Kalia over fictional Harry Potter character Dumbledore’s homosexuality. Jeff thinks it’s wrong for a gay wizard to work in a magical boarding school and is possibly contemplating calling a legislator to see if a ballot measure could keep it from infecting all local wizarding academies. Not only is Jeff adept at demonstrating his antipathy for homosexual magicians, he’s fantastic at displaying his dependence on air quotes rather than on rational explanations for his opinions. The following conversation and video above come from the live feed.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Jeff: Who’s Dumbledorf (sic)… who is that, the big guy?
[Kalia explains that J.K. Rowling made the character so that her kids and other kids would understand homosexuality.]
Jeff: How is he meant to be gay? He doesn’t have any gay tendencies.
Kalia: Maybe that’s the point! So that people like you don’t stereotype gay people.
Jeff: What do you mean stereotypes around gay people? He’s in a school with little kids, you can’t make that guy gay!
Kalia: WHYYYY? Gay men can’t work with little kids!?
Jeff: It isn’t right to have it in a little kid’s book, and have the head master locked away in this magical land, be gay. That isn’t the right kind of writing to do.
Kalia: I don’t see why not.
Jeff: Oh I can see your PC view of it, but it’s not the right thing to do.
Kalia: Why is it PC?
Jeff: Listen, you know what I’m talking about and don’t make it seem like you’re doing the right thing by saying it’s not! You are going to let your kids read a story book where little kids go to fantasy camp without their parents and the guy is gay?
Kalia: Just because he’s gay, doesn’t mean there is a thing wrong with him!
Jeff: Get the fuck out! Don’t start with that fuckin’ shit! Don’t tell me the right answer for fuckin’ TV!
Kalia: I’m not doing it for TV! You want to know why I do it? My little sister is gay!
Jeff: I don’t give a fuck if your sister’s gay! Think about what it is!
Kalia: I truly don’t understand…
Jeff: You don’t understand what I’m talking about? Then I don’t understand either.
Kalia: I don’t understand why he can’t be a headmaster.
Jeff: You’re right, you’re right! I don’t want to talk about it then!
Thanks to ONTD for the transcript.
zach
me and my mom love jeff and jordan we wont b on their side anymore i can tell u that idk where jordan was she prolly doesnt understand wat their talking bout so she prolly doesnt have a opinion
JoeyO'H
I never realized Jeff is as dumb as Jordan. No wonder they’re a couple.
Michael
Another bigoted pretty boy bashing others because they threaten HIS masculinity.Pathetic.These cavemen with the brains the size of peanuts need to grow the fuck up already grow a brain also and EVOLVE already.
Michael
Meant to write because he FEELS LIKE they threaten his masculinity.Any real man would not care about whether someone is gay or if they are not.Only the ones with… issues have the problem period.
JElder
So basically, he’s implying gay men want to molest little kids?
I find it humorous how he was yelling at Kalia for giving an answer for TV when he couldn’t even come out and say exactly what he was thinking. He had to dance around it because he didn’t want to say it on TV.
-facepalm-
Effing moron.

What is big brother 13? Never heard of it…

This is typical Jeff. He’s been acting “PC for TV” ever since he found out he was a fan favorite. I’m sure someone in production warned him that the profanity laced homophobic slurs he made a habit of tossing around made him and CBS look bad, which is why he toned it down. (He’s not just a contestant. He worked for CBS last year as a host.) But his true colors came out in this instance because his team seems to be in control of the game right now. He’s not just a homophobic moron, he’s also a bully.

Meat heads hate gay people, news at 11.

There is nothing new here. Jeff is a returning contestant who already drew some controversy during his original Big Brother season for making anti-gay statements after getting into an argument with a couple of other guys in the house.
Which is one of the reasons I found it repulsive when he re-entered the house this season. I’m not a fan of “Evil Dick” for the same reason: his attitude toward gay contestant Dustin (calling him a “princess”, etc). during his original season turned me off. Aside from which, I just found him + his daughter obnoxious. That’s not to say that I’m a fan of Dustin’s either, considering some of the racially offensive comments he himself made, but this type of inflammatory speech seems to be all too common for Big Brother contestants. Every year. Every season. Some douchebag says something douchebag-gy.
TRY N DO ME ONCE...
SHIT LIKE THIS PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF!!! I AM SO SICK OF BITCH ASS HOMOPHOBES AND THEIR BITCH ASS BULLSHIT BEING SPOUTED OUT. FUCK THE MONEY, FUCK THE RULES, I WOULD HAVE LAYED THIS ASSWIPE DOWN AND BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF HIM. I WOULD BE ONE GAY DUDE HIS ASS WOULD HAVE WISHED HE HAD BEEN PC (POLITICALLY CORRECT) WITH. FUCK ALL HOMOPHOBES!!!
seaguy
Video has been taken down. I am no longer a fan of Jeff’s. Was because he is cute but he proved himself an ass with this. Pathetic looser better loose BB13!
seaguy
TMZ still has the video posted.
Robbie K
Someone needs a dick up his ass..no homo
dante
i still dont understand how people think he is cute… his head just looks like an ancient rock..
Patrick Scally
I knew Jeff was a total douche from his original season….constantly making homophobic remarks then. CBS keeps trying to make him more acceptable to the “superfans” but you can only hide your true colours for so long until they come out. Not liking this season since they brought back all the past low life’s.
Mike in London UK
Gosh .. he’s awfully defensive and touchy about the whole gay topic isn’t he.
I wonder why .. could it be because …..
TheRealMannequinAdam
Why is no one here calling for his removal from the show and a swift apology, the same way they did for Tracy Morgan? There’s a double-standard.
fredo777
If they removed everyone on Big Brother who said something stupid/offensive, they’d have to just cancel the show itself.

The “straight” football player, Nick Starcevic (from a past Big Brother season alluded to in the article), who confessed to “blowjobby experimentation”, can be found here “au naturel” at the NSFW link below I found from a google search (if any of you horn-dogs are interested):

@Patrick Scally: I completely agree, during his original season he was also a douche and making racial slurs about Mexicans/minorities, no wonder that this season he started his rant on gays. What annoys me the most is that CBS and BB keep on editing him to make him “likable” and make him seem like he is so smart, and talented and “all american” when in fact he is just a sad little human.

Hmmmm. If it had been Big Brother cast member Keith (the cocky deacon/playboy — who happens to be black), this post would have three times more comments by the usual ‘cists making generalizations about homophobia in the black community…equating the F-word to the N-word…throwing out patronizing comments about how he of all people should know better, etc., etc.
Same old story: young, attractive, in-shape straight white guy goes on a homophobic tirade and the criticism against him is tame; no remarks are made about the homophobia of white men in general…but let some young, black ball player/rapper/pedestrian so much as ‘mouth’ the a gay slur, or make a quasi non-tolerant gesture about gays, and the GayKK comes out in full force.
That being said, I really have no problem with Jeff. He’s just a reality show contestant. He can have his negative attitude towards gays, because in the grand scheme of things it means nothing, so who cares? But I don’t like the hypocrisy. Again, if that had been Keith, the remarks here would have been ugly.

Jeff might not know any gay people, therefore his opinions may becoming from a parent or grandparents or something. It is likely ignorance that causes him to believe that all gay men will molest children. His Ignorance shouldn’t cause you to spout hateful words. it should make you sad, but also make you want to show others that is not the case. Fighting hate with hate is not how to get things moving smoothly.
Mike
@erica: He’s from Chicago and looks like he’s 40. I call BS on not knowing any gay people. At least I can buy it from Jordan because she’s from Dogpatch or wherever.
Abirdwillingtobeitself
@Mike: Well he doesn’t have any gay friends, that’s for sure. I think he also probably never notices gay people (they’re invisible to him… like the homeless), even if he happens to know some.
Mike
@Abirdwillingtobeitself: I buy not noticing them for sure, but I couldn’t buy the other poster who said he never met any.

Anything is a-twitter on the celeb front. Some of us have our favorites. We just can not support it. At times, we dare inform anyone both. These are the ones we stalk out of behavior or boredom. Some of us remain up to date on our favorite actor’s tweets due to the fact it seems good in informal conversation. “OMG, did you hear?? Brit is in the hospital once again! Just the other day, Jamie Lynn and I ended up tweeting and…” Other individuals comply with Celebs because they adore to hate them. “Tiger Woods is so sleazy, I keep in mind one day on twitter, he was acting so into me when he thanked me for the FF” Some individuals are just nosey. If I Tweet Barack Obama sufficient my solution to the well being care bill, he’ll solution me. Or block me.
