"Big Brother USA&amp;#039;s racism storm has been described as &amp;quot;appalling&amp;quot; by CBS President Les Moonves. A number of contestants on this season of Big Brother have been filmed making remarks dubbed racist, homophobic or misogynistic, and houseguests GinaMarie Zimmerman and current Head of Household Aaryn Gries have been fired from jobs as a result.  Moonves, who is married to Big Brother host Julie Chen, has now told journalists at the Television Critics Association press tour that he has watched every episode of the show, joking: &amp;quot;Obviously my wife would kill me if I didn&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot; However, he acknowledged the controversy surrounding this season and admitted that he is unhappy with the comments that have been made. &amp;quot;Big Brother obviously is a social experiment - it always was,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Clearly that&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s happening this year... I find some of the behaviour absolutely appalling, personally. Obviously a lot of it makes us uncomfortable.&amp;quot;   Moonves added that the comments are a &amp;quot;reflection of the way some people feel in America&amp;quot;, and said: &amp;quot;I think we handled it the way we should have.&amp;quot; Chen has previously admitted that she was &amp;quot;offended&amp;quot; by the comments made on the show, while recent evictee Kaitlin Barnaby defended her conduct during the competition by insisting that she &amp;quot;shut down a lot of terms used in that house&amp;quot;. Big Brother USA airs on CBS. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
