The 47th season of a popular reality show premieres on CBS amidst a politically charged atmosphere, featuring contestants from diverse backgrounds. One notable participant is Jon Lovett, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama and host of a liberal podcast. His involvement raises questions about the potential for political discussions on the show, which has historically maintained a separation from real-world politics. However, past seasons have shown that overt political expressions can lead to tensions among contestants, as evidenced by a previous incident where a contestant wore a politically charged hat, causing discomfort among others. Despite the current political climate, there is skepticism about whether this season will significantly diverge from the norm regarding political discourse.
