W C 07/13/2021 HORRID! First off I am gay. Why is that important? I have never seen a reality show try and shove so many "backgrounds" in a show. It is annoying af! My partner and I raise cattle, and have a landscaping company. Never have I cared what ethnicity, race or social status one had! Big Brother and TAR do less searching for "different". yuck!
