I just watch the episodes and catch the stray tidbit on twitter- is there anything big that the show is hiding yet? like people being huge assholes?

Surprisingly no! This cast is full of really unproblematic people. They’re a little boring, but they’re nice to each other for the most part and aren’t bigots. The biggest controversy so far has been Brooklyn not believing in the moon landing and Leah saying some slightly trad-wife esque things in a dumb debate with Cedric.

Ever since Angela's blow-up at Matt on the stairs, they tend to cut away anytime Angela starts to get into a heated confrontation with someone. There was a fight with Lisa we never got to see. Her confrontations with Quinn about calling out the group of Chelsie, Cam, Cedric, and T'Kor. Another argument with Quinn after his power was exposed. There was a confrontation between Tucker and Quinn. I was surprised they even let us see Angela and Brooklyn's passive aggressive talk lol.

So far no racist assholes which is refreshing. They did get a new casting person this season which may have helped.

But as someone else pointed out, CBS is quick the pull the feeds during certain moments when arguments are escalating. So while it’s possible we are missing certain things on the feeds, it would still be hard for them to completely cover up someone if they were really racist or homophobic.

yeah iirc a few houseguests mentioned Leah said some "derogatory words" (would not shock me with her) and this was likely part of the feed cuts. I can also see Angela letting something slip.

Tucker said he was friends with Cody from a previous season and then the feeds cut.

That's all I've got. I try to be spoiler-free but my FB algorithm shows me BB updates all day.
