On August 13 at 12:08am in the U.S. Big Brother house, with fellow houseguests Danielle and Kalia present, Porsche Briggs stirred a large amount of Metamucil into the house container of Muscle Milk mix.
For those who don’t know, when houseguest are put “on slop” as part of the food competitions in the Big Brother game, the houseguests are only allowed to eat the hard oatmeal like slop, and to make sure they have full nutritional needs met Muscle Milk. Now the house Muscle Milk has been tampered with by a fellow houseguest.
In previous seasons things along these lines have come up, hiding or destroying others personal items, or the worst similar case when one houseguest used another’s toothbrush to scrub the toilet. In the case of the toothbrush the houseguest was made to throw away the toothbrush, and tell the other members of the house what she had done, but this was many years ago, and the show has become much more malicious, and more willing to risk things like violence among the Big Brother participants, and as of this morning it seems they have not taken any action to remove the tampered food, punish the offending houseguest, or let the others in the house know that the Muscle Milk has had Metamucil mixed with it.
There are very clear laws against any food tampering, even if it would only cause minor disconfort, and if a co-worker in a more traditional job were to do something like this they would risk prosecution.
Will the Big Brother producers or CBS take action, or will they just consider it covered by the reality show contracts that attempt to absolve the television networks of all responsibility for anything and everything that happens to the contestants regardless of what the law says?
For reference the FCC under the Bush administration stated that they consider reality shows scripted fiction, like wrestling, rather than federally regulated game show competitions, that could change at any time, but the Obama administration, even their FCC, is likely focused on other things right now.
they should be made to drink the tampered musle milk
If the food tampering in this season causes Jordon or other houseguest to become ill or suffer from cramps; then the houseguest who did the tampering should be told to leave the house. People with sensitive stomachs should not be taking laxatives. This could cause some serious conditions and possibly permanent ones.
If it is not against the rules, it should be. Simple.
LAME
I HOPE JORDAN GETS SICK
What Porche did was so wrong and she should be punished. What I am worried about is the fact that none of the people who are drinking that mix may be allergic to it and could have a very bad reaction. Then how will Porche and the execs at CBS feel?
If they actually did that, they should be charged with tampering with the food and health of those that drink the muscle milk. Too much fiber can actually hurt someone if they have stomach health issues. This was entirely cruel and an immature act by a person with no morals.
I saw it as it happened, all 3 mean girls should be held accountable. CBS/BigBrother have a responsiblity to protect all houseguests against that kind of behaviour no matter funny (harmless) the 3 thought it was at the time. All of the Houseguests should be made aware of what they did if no other actions are taken.
I feel the only reason nothing is being done to Porche is because Big Brother will place Dani’s chances of winning at a disadvantage or she will AGAIN threaten to leave the show and that would drive ratings into the ground (a def CBS no-no) so Porche simply got told to throw the muscle milk powder out. I think she should be led out of the house by Susan G as was Chima on a prior season. Placing HG health at risk is a much worse offense than throwing a stupid microphone. Perhaps tho the remaining HG might still get a big payday when they sue CBS as well as the Florida bimbo for putting their health at risk. I would love to see it.
the food tampering done on BB is so wrong and CBS should do something about this before it gets worse. What are they thinking of to allow this
Tonight Jordon had a nose bleed. Could that have been a result of this mess. In my opinion BB and CBS are responsible for the safety of all houseguest.
Something needs to be done about this stupid, cruel act! Porche should be held accountable for her actions! CBS & Big Brither execs NEED to get on this immediately!!!
This is no big deal. If they take action by punishing her, I think it’s a mistake. Just let it go.
This is totally wrong! First, the executive producer expelled Chima and now a warning for Porsche! Come on CBS production, expel Porsche for tempering a drink. That’s not right. DR give Porsche the warning. What’s is wrong with you guys? You just going to sit there not do anything. Kick Porsche out!!!!!!!!!! That’s is not cool!!!!!
this is so not right, come on BB, step in and do something, now Porsche is in the final three, not fair, what if her actions did cause some of the others to feel bad and not play well, and because of that she is where she is, I think that is called cheating.
I hope when Porsche gets out of the house she understands that you don’t tamper with anyones drink. When she is looking for a job serving food and beverages, I hope everyone refuses to let her serve them. I lost all respect for Dani, Kalia and Porsche for this hateful act. None of them will be serving me!!!!!!!!
