Live Feed Debacle on Big Brother Season 27: Contestant Utters Slur, Stirs Early Controversy
In a shocking turn of events, Big Brother Season 27 contestant Isaiah "Zae" Frederich found himself at the centre of a controversy after using an offensive ableist slur during a game of chess with fellow houseguest Keanu Soto. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread criticism and outrage from fans and viewers[1][2][3].
Zae, recognising his mistake, apologised and stated that it was one of the words he was trying to stop saying before entering the house. Keanu also agreed that the slur was inappropriate. However, the moment's online exposure has raised questions about how often Zae uses such language when the cameras aren't rolling[1].
As of the latest reports, Big Brother has not yet publicly responded or taken official action regarding Zae's use of the slur. This has led to speculation and debate among fans about how the show may handle the incident, especially given its past zero-tolerance policy—evident when another contestant was ejected in Season 25 for using a racial slur[2]. Unlike that previous incident, no immediate ejection or formal penalty has been announced for Zae[3].
It's worth noting that in Season 25, Jared Fields, another houseguest, used the same slur as Zae on the live feeds and was not removed from the game. This inconsistency has further fuelled the debate among viewers[1].
In the meantime, the live eviction episode of Big Brother is scheduled for Thursday at the same time on CBS. Big Brother Season 27 live feeds were turned on earlier this week, and interested viewers can enjoy the live feeds on Paramount+ and Pluto TV[4].
While the outcome of Zae's actions remains uncertain, it's possible that he might receive a formal warning about the use of offensive language. Big Brother has a strict zero-tolerance policy for such behaviour[5].

Daily blend of entertainment and social-media discourse revolves around Big Brother Season 27 contestant Zae's controversial use of an offensive ableist slur. Despite his apology, concerns about Zae's language persist, and his potential consequences as per the show's zero-tolerance policy for offensive language remain unclear.
