Have you been watching this? Do you agree with it? Have Jade, Jo and Teddy's bird been a little bit naughty?

Seriously though - 10,000 complaints ?

[foot-loose]

I haven't really been arsed with it for about a week now, which, from what i've heard is what everyone else is saying!

I am probably going to catch up with it tonight, coz its suddenly more interesting again, which is also what everyone else is saying!

I know that there are certain words on here that i'm not allowed to talk about, but all the p*blicity has worked on me, and I doubt im the only one.

Im not saying its all staged... but something had to be done to get the viewing figures up. And I doubt chucking another random Z-lister celeb in would do the job.

1,000,000 extra viewers last night... sounds like clever editing on the part of Big Brother.

I havn't watched any of it.

[Tash Man]

Its not racist for sure

[pinkysibbs]

they knew what to expect when they entered the house,the girls are not being racist just a little bitchy!but they edit the show so much who knows whats really happening!After all the editors need as many viewers as possible so might as well edit it in a way that might cause controversy!

[pinkysibbs]

sorry that probably doesnt make sense!

[pinkysibbs]

ok after just watching tonights show all I can say is Jade is a nasty piece of work!contradicting myself or what!

[DcS]

13,000 complaints i have heard now. I watch glimpses of it if i have time...its a waste of Channel 4 Broadcasting it in my opinion but they have had 1million extra viewers aparently.

[kendra k]

i'm sorry, but it sounds a bit racist. not in the in your face lynching way, but the small digs about food and stuff. regardless, jade and her pack of henchtrolls are being bullies. i don't really like shilpa, but she doesn't deserve, nor did she invite any of it.

[Tash Man]

i like shilpa , and i kinda take back what i said earlier, i hate the witch crew get them out !!!!

i wanna throw oxo cubes at jades slanty trout mouth

[Ballbag]

It's like Lord of the Flies in there... and Shilpa is piggy.

[DemonHorse]

I like the fact that channel 4 statement said "it's not racism, it's a bit of a culture clash"
Well.... that sounds to me like a pretty good psuedonym for Racism... or at least a cause of it.
The other cause (as also in this case) being pure stupidity.

[Ballbag]

Would the term racism be being banded about if Shilpa was American? French? Australian?

Discuss.

[foot-loose]

Unlikely.

I, like probably a lot of people, are sick of all this.

Im sick of hearing about racism in the papers. Im sick of hearing about religion causing so many problems and im sick of hearing about the amount of time wasted in politics.

[Ballbag]

Indeed, what we have here is a dumb ass bint with a couple of cronies, trying to show off and put down someone else who is far more intellectual, pretty and generally a better person than herself.

The upshot is, you have someone who doesn't want to get involved trying to fend of what can only be described as a horrorpig throwing various insults, comments, expletives and random "put downs" her way whilst her two goons grunt and laugh in the background "der.... yeah boss you give it to her" thus spurring her on further. Meanwhile, the silent victim can't even get a word in edgeways even if she wanted to. It was cringeworthy to watch Jade as she slowly made a bigger and bigger fool of herself infront of the nation. Me thinks she'll receive a few boo's tomorrow night.

My favourite extract was Shilpa's final comment to Jade "Your claim to fame is this" (pointing at the big brother house)

[foot-loose]

I haven't seen the program from last night yet but did Jade not come back with something like "Yeah, well, your claim to fame is me!"

Or something equally as cringeworthy?

[Ballbag]

It was indeed that, and yes, a cringeworthy come back that didn't really mean anything.


It reminded me of X-Factor a while back. Simon Cowell rejected a young lady and the reply of her mother (a charming lady with Argos Jewelery hanging from every possible location) outside the room, was something like.

"That Simon Cowell, he's a patronisising Bastard, well I'll tell you what, he patronises himself" At which point she walked away, as proud as punch with her witty retort.

I still to this day don't know what she meant.

[Yudster]

Horropig. Excellent.

[Lucie]

I've not seen any of this lately but I don't understand how housemates can get into trouble for bullying? It's not very nice but it's not illegal right?

[Adam]

>> Vote Shilpa! <<
C4 - How low can you go

Since Jade Goody shot to fame on Channel 4
she has had the same management as Celebrity
Big Brother host Davina McCall, and both
Big Brother spin-off show hosts, Dermot O'Leary
and Russell Brand, as well as last year's
Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle.
So is it any surprise that C4 and CBB
producers are so reticent about condemning
the racist bullying, led by Jade, on their
show? They have their own interests to protect.

[Sidders]

I've not seen any of this lately but I don't understand how housemates can get into trouble for bullying? It's not very nice but it's not illegal right?

Of course it's illegal, although the laws you're breaking depends on what form the bullying takes. I would say Jade and co are using racist victimisation against Shilpa. Surely that must be illegal.

[DemonHorse]

and not to mention the crimes that thing commits just by existing....

[Adam]

Moyles made a good point today. How do they know about all this in India? Something about its tough getting Five, but how do they get Channel 4 in India. Obviously its been in the News Bulletins and newspapers a fair bit.

[MK Chris]

I read somewhere that it's not broadcast over there (lucky them) so it must purely be media reporting.

[foot-loose]

Im watching the program from last night at the moment.

What the duck has got into Jade?

Something that I have noticed of what I have seen is that Jade seems to be seriously playing up to the cameras. Im not saying she is the brightest bulb in the box, but she has, from what ive heard, been on several reality shows since she was last on BB. Does that not mean that she might have a bit of experience in the reality show and what is interesting and what isn't?

The other day, when she was talking about the eskimos etc, it all looked a bit like she was playing up at being thick.

As everyone seems to be saying, there isn't anything really racist (as I type that, daniel said "why doesn't she just **** off home"! great timing!). I think that the argument would have been the same regardless of where this Shilpa was from.


That said, if someone finished my knorr stock cubes...!!!
