"Rights," particularly First Amendment ones, have nothing to do with anything if the government is not involved. These people entered the BB house voluntarily, knowing what was in store. They signed contracts with CBS, which only cares about ratings, not about the feelings of their "house guests." CBS will do something about the comments if people stop watching. But if people keep watching, or watch to see what horrible thing will be said next, why would they do anything other than exploit it?
