nope.

WHY WEREN'T THEY BOOED! I DEMAND MY VICARIOUS ENTERTAINMENT!

 

[rocketman]

Oh the sound of booos around the heads of crazy cleo and jolly Jo. I think the latter invididual picked-up the vibe - looked distressed. Cleo kept waving like a demented muppet. We all know why they deserved a bad reaction, but it's probably best to take a moment to consider if these two individual's self-knowledge is strong enough to be able to cope with the realisation of what their actions have been. Who they are. What they do.

They WERE booed, serious...remember Jo's face? She wanted to run. That's her problem. She's been running forever, now she needs to look to herself. I don't pity the girl, but she has to face her own event consequences, after all. She created the events with her decisions. It's gonna be very hard for her - and without meaning to wish it, it's hard for most people, most of the time.

I didn't hear boos. a few, but mainly cheers.

god knows why. they were chanting and booing before they walked out but once the doors open it was a mystifying mixture....

Sound edit, serious - it was boos (I think) - it's low frequency sound, cheers are high frequency.

*This is an optimistic reaction*

I'm not saying there was racism, but if there was it wouldn't just be her that was the victim. In fact, she's going to walk right back into a privileged lifestyle. The people who suffer from racism most (and the encouraging of it on TV) are those at the opposite end of society.

Ah yeah - there's loads of things to consider here. I get your drift on the M Whitehouse thing, you know, but there's buts and ifs everywhere here. If you were to be a mentally hungry person, you'd have so much food for thought - for example:

1/ Shilpa still doesn't know what really happened to her.
2/ Jo is only going to find out what she did tonight.
3/ Perhaps some in the house didn't know themself so well.
4/ Is racism something that is more offensive when it's broadcast live?
5/ IF - and we still don't know what it is the IF could be, as Shilpa doesn't - but IF she doesn't complain and peace is found between the participants, what's the actual meaning of the media that came out at the time it was going down.

I'm not asking for any answers, or saying anything, or even attempting to make a point. I'm simply very very curious as to the meaning of these events right now. This has hit so many chords with so many people (Pro or Anti) and I don't think the consequences, or, if you like, 'best practise' thinking on these events, will be clear immediately after the show.

So don't flame me newbie, I don't really know any answers. That's all I can come up with right now.

Yeah, see - food for thought.

 

[moomoo]

I watched it tonight for the first time in ages and was rather disturbed by the look on Cleos face while she was watching Dirk dance

If I was Dirk I would make sure she didn't know where I lived!

 

[Vintage Paw]

I like Cleo

of course they are, and if anything portraying what happened as 'racism' does them a disservice, because doing so trivialises genuine harm.

Any prosecution would be laughable and would leave lingering doubt that other prosecutions were equally ludicrous. In whose interests would that be?

I don't have any evidence that racism was encouraged on tv- do you?

I haven't really watched it - I was just saying that saying there's a singular victim to public racism is wrong (though I accept there may have been no real racism - people seemed to think they acted that was towards Shilpa because she's Asian though, and certainly there was at least one racist attitude displayed (Danielle))

Any prosecution would be laughable and would leave lingering doubt that other prosecutions were equally ludicrous. In whose interests would that be?

Agree

Encouraged by who? But no, I don't.

 

[newbie]

1/ Shilpa still doesn't know what really happened to her.

sorry? she may not know what was said behind her back but she knows what the people she was with actually did, and she had a better idea of their motivations and attitudes than any tv viewer.

She's watched two of the coven evicted and the third burst into tears as she recognises how the cookie is crumbling.

I think shilpa has had a pretty clear view all the way through.

 

[newbie]

I was just saying that saying there's a singular victim to public racism is wrong

but the whole point is that the public reaction has been so strongly against any perceived racism.

<switches back to tv>

 

[Ranu]

Wow. They're unloading it on Jo.

 

[Strumpet]

Good. She needs to know what she did was bullying. She can't deny it for long....silly girl.

Go Davina.

 

[bellator]

I think Davina has been briefed to give Jo a hard time (deserved - yes!)

Scapegoat for Jade, same management etc?

if anything jade has been made an escapegoat for the other two....

 

[Kanda]

No, I don't think she did.

I doubt she was aware of potential racism, I reckon she just percieved it as different cultures clashing.

She doesn't seem to have a clue about much outside her own little world to be fair...

I'm on my mobile so don't have time to delete, but my answer to point no 4 is 'absolutely' - of course it's more shocking. Isn't that a no-brainer?

Said she had a fantastic time and then burst into tears and tried to get away from the camera you mean!

She's just very polite and it was like saying 'Thank you for a lovely time' to your host after the worst evening of your life.

 

[Orang Utan]

What Dirk and Jermaine said about Indians was interesting, wasn't it? Who hasn't said anything about Indians? Maybe they'll win

fucking hell.

I was wondering why cleo and jo didn't know what had been going on? they were out for an hour before their interviews....

why?

why is an act of racism less offensive if it's not being televised?
