As she’s discussing this with her teammate, she is handling chess pieces, picking up the black ones (The Cookout Alliance) and juxtaposing them with the white pieces (everyone else in the house). As needed, they will start evicting them one by one. She insists each member of this alliance select a white counterpart in the house to latch onto in order to not raise suspicions and stack the deck. In a situation aired by CBS in Episode 13 that boggles the mind, Tiffany is seen speaking with Kyland and Xavier about her master plan to have the Cookout comprise the final six members of the house. Tiffany Mitchell is the primary mastermind of the super alliance. When it comes to pushing the priority of the Cookout Alliance and keeping the ranks in check, Tiffany is unquestionably the leader of the pack with Xavier being her helpful henchman. Regarding the social gameplay and likeability, Derek wins the hearts of fans and houseguests in a landslide. The members of this alliance are Tiffany Mitchell, Kyland Young, Derek Frazier, Xavier Prather, Hannah Chaddha, and Azah Awasum. Regarding winning competitions and holding the most power in the Big Brother house, Kyland has been the most successful winning four competitions and being Head of Household twice. While the show’s adage is “Expect the unexpected,” this column would retort with “I told you so.” Likewise, Julie Chen Moonves’ refusal to address this years’ controversy on air is emblematic of CBS’ current condition. The question remains: If something is framed as a minority group overcoming the odds does that mean it’s not racist? The evidence below shows that their gameplay is rooted in a race-essentialist philosophy that if done by white players would ( and has been) called out as blatantly racist. It makes for compelling reality television, and although viewership has tumbled this season, it remains a flagship for the woke network. Even during personal strife between its members, they have remained faithful to their cause. Every member of the alliance has kept their mouths shut to other houseguests, they are careful never to be in the same room together and their loyalty to the Alliance over other personal relationships has proven formidable. They have won a third of all competitions. To form a large alliance on day four and last this long completely intact has all the markings of Big Brother “Legend” status. The “Cookout” alliance is absolutely dominating this game.
Their conclusion was implied throughout the piece – The higherups and even past contestants say this is “OK” and that it’s essentially racist to ask the question.īefore examining the evidence of racism, a few things should be noted. Last week, the Los Angeles Times carried water for CBS and discounted any criticism of the “Cookout Alliance.” The Times selected quotes from both production executives, the show’s host Julie Chen and past houseguests who have failed to adequately discuss the racial underpinnings of this show’s season. And now there are receipts to prove it.Īfter the Globe became the first outlet to tackle the question of “Is this racist?”, other news organizations have written columns addressing the issue. This was rooted in their decision to form an alliance solely based on race.
Last month, the California Globe posted a breaking story about CBS’s reality show, “Big Brother” asserting that the houseguests making up an alliance known as “The Cookout” were guilty of racism. Xavier and Hannah are members of The Cookout.
