The Big Brother Thread: For Fans Only!!

Aww Bless Ian. I agree, I don't like to see rifts in groups of people either and I always try to stay neutral in things. It's just a shame to see this happen in the house.. OK, I take it all back; hostilatily in the house is not a good thing!!!!

From what I gather Danielle is the cause of it, though I haven't been paying much attention I think (Last time I checked she and Shilpa had a misunderstanding on Friday and they made up??? ). Did I miss something or what????

When are we going to know this weeks evictions?? I hope Danielle goes!!!!!

It was all over Radio1 news today that CBB & CH4 had recieved tons of complaints that CH4 are 'allowing' Shilpa to be bullied by the rest of the house and that she is been bullied on a racist basis.

I disagree that anything in the house is on a racist basis but Shilpa is baring the brunt of a 'witches' coven from Danielle, Jo & Jade.

It is getting uncomfortable to watch . I personally don't think they are being racist as such but just being bullies.

 

[wickesy]

Looks like Shilpa is going to start biting back. BBLB showed an argument between Jade and Shilpa this afternoon over stock cubes Shilpa told Jade to shut up and said "You are famous for this. Good luck to you."

I don't really get why theres such a fuss about the 'bullying' of Shilpa, they didn't bother last year when Jodie Marsh was intimidated constantly by Barrymore, Galloway and Burns, I'm not a jodie fan but it seems like they think just cos she's a party girl she can look after herself more than Shilpa. It seems like positive discrimination to me.
I wish Jo would get away from Jade and Danielle she was such a nice girl at first.

totally agree with you carol

 

[Pootle]

I get what the fuss is about.

Last year's bullying of Jodie Marsh was unpleasant viewing and was covered in the media too.

This year's bullying with racist undertones is far worse. I was very upset after watching Monday night's show - and complained - and am only relieved that there is such an outcry from people who see it for what it is.

 

[carolfoy]

I really don't see it as racist I think Jackeys questioning of Shilpa 'Do you live in a shack?' is just ignorance, and her saying 'shut that Indian up' is no different than saying 'shut that Fat person' or 'shut that skinny cow' etc up, yes, its derogatory and yes, its ignorant but is it really racist? I'm undecided.

 

[pokemon_master]

I'm not sure myself. I do think it's bullying though.. Not sure about Racist yet.. Jade, Jo and Danielle are just 3 witches around a cauldron.

Could they hurry up with evictions now!!! PLEASE?!

 

[carolfoy]

oh, yes Matt, I do think they're horrible cliquey bullies but racist?

I agree with you carol, i don't think its racism.

I agree Carol

To be honest I think it is bullying bordering on racist.

The fact so many people don't think it is racists just shows that we can all be racist without realising. Not hard core racist but making comments without realising.

I can't see what the "Big" fuss is about and insisting the shows cancelled as this is life and I think it should be shown and discussed as perhaps we all say things without realising. I worked in Greece for a while and was often called the "english girl" which is fine (I am!) but it's things like "this is wrong - you english always cook food too long" (I worked in a holiday resort!) That borders on racism. So Jo's comments that all Indians are thin because they're throwing up after eating with there fingers IS racist. She's not BNP but she made a racist comment without even realising.

Does this make sense to anyone??

*emphasis mine*

It's derogatory and racist IMO.

I agree - it's 'Marjorie Dawes'(sp?)* racism.

Oh dear things look like they are getting worse

I thought Jo was ok but she has turned out to be one mean girl

I'm not watching it, it makes me cringe. I am suprised at Jo if she's doing any bullying, racist or otherwise. She is quite open about her own bullying experiences that almost caused her to commit suicide

I agree what Jo said is racist. I think Jade, Danielle and Jo are showing themselves up badly by behaving so appallingly. I really hope though that C4 don't pull the plug and allow their dreadful behaviour to be shown for what it is.

It is causing a great debate across the nation and I think shows everyone what can happen with human nature. Let them get voted out, booed badly and lose their careers when they get out. That is what they all deserve. And to watch Shilpa win, LOL.

Funny about Jade. I had forgotten what a manipulative b***h she was in BB3. Remember all that trouble with Alex and Adele. We all thought it was Adele and when Adele left it became obvious it was Jade all along. Shame she had to remind us all what she was really like.

 

[BRobson]

After that little outburst that Jade has just had it will remind the country why she was hated first time round

As for Danielle and Jo - career suicide

Not even that Jackie, they dont have careers to throw away!

I never saw Jade on Big Brother ~ Is this what she's like?!!

I can see where people might think that they are being racist; it's not them doing it but it's Shilpa saying it..
