It’s a shame that some people can’t watch a show without becoming a part of the story.<\/p>\n

Or trying to.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v7yesnjYIT0<\/a>\n

The reported death threats against a family of a contestant responsible for the “eviction” of a popular house guest on CBS’ Big Brother<\/em> is shameful and disgusting.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to engage in the specifics here, I’ll leave that for celeb blogs.<\/p>\n

I will say if people can’t watch a show without getting THAT torn up by it they need to change the channel.<\/p>\n

“No matter how much you dislike an HG, this is wrong! True BB fans do not try to ruin lives. Please stop!”, tweeted\u00a0“Big Brother” Executive Producer Allison Grodner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shut the darn thing off and get a life!<\/p>\n
