Quote of the Day

I really dislike Big Brother's executive producer Allison Grodner after the bullshit that went down last season on the show - I don't care how she chooses to spin it; they let that asshole Dick get away with verbal and physical abuse for ratings' sake - but I have to give her props for this on-point observation in a new interview over at EW.com:

"EW: Have you considered whether to start giving the houseguests headlines from the outside world, if only to improve some of those excruciating poolside discussions?

ALLISON GRODNER: Since when have Big Brother contestants ever cared about politics? Seriously, I wish they would. That's the genius of Big Brother contestants, because in order to subject yourself to this kind of thing, there is a certain level of narcissism that makes you not give a damn about the outside world. Why aren't they discussing things of political importance? Because honestly, they care about themselves."

I don't know that "genius" is the word I'd use, but she's definitely got a point.
