I haven't even succumbed to BB yet this year, guess I have more willpower than I thought I'm glad actually as if we get a nice summer i don't want to be chained to the telly every night

Lesley announced it to the group on the live feed after being called to the diary room. They all started packing her stuff.

Charley looked upset, I think it was said to her not in a bad way but its a word that is not acceptable in any form. I'm shocked Emily used it in any context, makes you wonder if she is very ignorant or stupid. I have found it a hugely offensive word all my life, having black relatives.

At least BB acted before it spiralled out of control again in the media.

Stupid, Stupid girl! In this day and age you would think most people would not dream of using such incredibly offensive language.

I'm sorry, i don't care if she says she said it jokingly, people in polite society don't use words like that, no matter what.

It just goes to show, it doesn't matter how educated people are, or how much they think they are above everyone else (which is what i think that Emily person thought she was!) they can STILL be racist.

As I have said in the other thread, having read the transcript I don't think Emily intended to be offensive, however having used the word she did C4/Endemol had no choice but to remove her.

Having said that I can't think of any valid reason why they had to drag her out of bed at 3:30 a.m. to do so.

...So Nothing Majorly Important happened then??

I've seen the News. She is Silly (understatement of the year!), since she must of known about the Jade Goody Episode... To even think of it as a joke was kinda bad..

[pokemon_master]

I see that the twins got to nominate with Gerry and Seany today, I hope that Charley is up for eviction - she's driving me mad

...Finally Something to talk about....

I thought the Twins were being treated as one Housemate... I also heard that Seany and Gerry aren't getting on very well at the moment, is that true?? Mind you, after Seany Tipped Lesley over the edge, I'm not sure how popular he'll be!!!!!

 

[PaulaSB12]

Considering the fuss that has been made about this comment, how much its in the papers and how cynical the producers of BB are, would it suprise anyone if BB told her to say what she did.

 

[mandymouse]

Well I was surprised to learn on BBLB that Carole, Shabnam and Tracy are up for eviction, well maybe not so surprised about Shabnam, but more shocked that Charley wasn't up

I don't know who voted for who, but I just hope that Tracy doesn't go

[ariel75]

I Don't Know What It Is But I Just Can't Get Into This Series At All I Think If I Had The Choice I Would Actually Rather Watch Paint Dry,there Is One Plus Side About It If I Stick It On I Normally End Up Falling Asleep!!

 

[Netty]

I watched it for the first few days, but then i really havent bothered since the 2 blokes came in.
i think i might just stick to watching the evictions on a friday
