A contestant uttered the n-word and in response, he was ejected publicly — a first.
after admitting he had suggested non-white members might have an alliance without showing proof. Other past contestants, like season 22's Memphis Garrett and season 21 winner Jackson Michie, were also accused of racism or racially-insensitive speech., Jared Fields, the only Black male in the competition, was in the room. And while the other two competitors, who are white, looked visibly shocked, Fields joked about the moment, seemingly to avoid conflict..
Fortunately for him, fans who watch the show's 24/7 online feed noticed the moment and began speaking out, urging the show to take action. Soon after,saying Valentine would be ejected from the show; he was called into a"diary room" where contestants talk directly with producers and never came out again.
CBS also broadcast Valentine's actions in an episode where the show's eviction vote results were announced live on the network broadcast, showing how the remaining contestants were called together and told he was removed from the game. CBS' decision might sound like a no-brainer. But it was the first time I'm aware of that a contestant on CBS' version ofhas been ejected by producers for using a racial slur — and it's a marked improvement from past decisions.CBS changed its approach to dealing with race and racism on its unscripted shows
