Big Brother Thread

[Jem of the Shire 0]

I wonder what the demographics for Bg Brother are. I am sure it's mainly chavs who sponge off the government that watch it. It should be axed!

why should it be axed?? Channel 4 make loads of money from it and get millions of viewers, they have no reason at all to get rid of it!

I find it interesting to watch, maybe I'm just a nosey person, I dont know, but I find the drama and psychological aspect of the whole thing very interesting.

i disagree strongly that only chavs watch it, I watch it and my mum loves it (she's far from being a chav, believe me) and millions of people in UK all love it too

one thing i really hate about big brother is that they always have to have a gay in the house lol seems like they'll have one in a few days *prepares to collect bet winnings*

That's the point! Channel 4 just get a load of gays & shove then into a raggedy house, especially in the 2005 version! God it was awful !

If you mean you could watch another channel, safe in the knowledge that you weren't missing anything remotely interesting, then yes it did.

there's a contestant from bristol this year (my hometown). She was thrown off the show last night for saying the word nig*er, albeit jokingly.

Bit harsh to throw her out but I suppose they have to be over-the-top strict on racism, after the worldwide fiasco that erupted in celebrity BB back in january

It was amazing the coverage that British Bogan got on worldwide news.

it was incredibly annoying. It wasnt even racism. It WAS bullying, but it had nothing to do with the fact the victim was indian. But because she was indian, there was uproar (mainly in india of course).

we live in a world where you have to watch your mouth because even the phrase 'mixed-race' seems to be politically incorrect now, instead you have to say 'dual heritage'

TBH, she was an infamous star before this fiasco and an average Indian didn't give a rats arse for her...

Tbh this kind of thing really annoys me. The amount of crap that is allowed on BB makes all this ridiculous. Basically you can be as cruel as you like, so long as the cruelty is motivated by something other than race! If C4 really cared about the affect these people were having as "role models" then they'd better just scrap the show all together. Pathetic!

Not only that but the censorship p**ses me off in itself. Frankly the whole attitude to this annoys me everywhere I look. I hope I would be the last person to discriminate against anyone, but if black people can go around denigrating bitches, hos, homos and faggots as they frequently do (including on TV), then they have to accept the use of the word nigger.

Has everyone seen 'The Dambusters'? Black and white film, based on the actions of the squadron that destroyed German dams during WW2. The squadron leader has a black labrador called 'nigger'. Will they not be showing this film ever again, i fear?

I mean, some fncking pr!ck somewhere is going to say it's racist because the last fncking brain cell left in their head won't compute the fact that people said stuff like that fifty years ago.

The point i am making is the context of use. Some idiots only hear a word and base their primitive findings on the mention of that word instead of stepping back for more than one fncking second to add a bit of (god forbid) rationality, to see what the intent was.

Fncking twats.

Exactly Steve!

They have shown it not all that long ago, Steve (within the last year) and all references were intact.
