Celebrity Big Brother 2007

[ZAMB]

I like the way Dirk refused to be drawn into a menopausal woman and her faded aider/abeter Carole Malone's attempt at pissing on his bonfire. I reckon with Carole's inspirational understanding of the nation's spirit, she's probably on her way to the dole queue. Just hope for her sake Cleo doesn't end up on t'other side of the counter, I know her type.

I just saw this, and realised that Carole had started her attack on Dirk today [supposedly on Cleo's behalf] while he was still in the house. It explains why she was saying those things tonight. I agree with you about Carole's insight and understanding - I bet they really hate the fact that he came third, while they were both kicked out.

Carole: "Dirk's a selfish misogynist"
Day 26, 11:16 UTC - by Daniel Kilkelly

Carole Malone has described Dirk Benedict as a "selfish misogynist".

In her Sunday Mirror column today, the journalist has expressed her disgust at Dirk's reaction to Cleo's teasing last weekend.

"The trouble with the glorious Cleo Rocos is that she's way too nice for her own good," Carole explained. "Having been evicted from the Celeb BB house largely because of her altercation with Dirk (or Duck as Shilpa so rightly calls him) she still can't say what I can - that he's a selfish misogynist with zero sense of humour."

The 47-year-old has claimed that Dirk once told her that he believed women should stay at home with their children rather than going to work, and had no time for her when she disagreed with his views.

"His treatment of Cleo was appalling," she continued. "He accused her of having a fat a**e and a middle-aged cleavage simply because, with her alter ego Tiara, she showed what a repressed, jumped up moody old chauvinist he is."

Sorry, I thought it had been posted here already.

It possibly was, but this is a biiiig thread!

The only bit I saw in the press was this: "F*** off home' is a term frequently used sometimes as an insult and sometimes in a jovial fashion between young people today. (To which I pointed out that this is a very far fetched explanation).

Yes I totally agree with dirk. Women should stay at home and bring up there children. Thats what mothers do its our role in life. If more women stayed at home there will be less problems than there are now in this moneydriven, greedy society we live in.
I loved dirk, he was funny and spoke alot of sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

I like Cleo and Dirk.

I wanted Jermaine to win, I heart him alot. Shilpa was so beautifully mature though, well done to her.

I'm actually very proud of the UK population. Three non Brits in the final three, two non-whites and a non-white winner. I think Jermaine should have beaten Shilpa, she may have won for sympathy reasons. Having said all that its a good sign this result and I feel quite moved by it to be honest.

Well done Brits. We are far from the damaged people the horrible witches have suggested.

I'm really getting sick and tired of this 'What image does it present' stuff. If anyone outside the UK is stupid enough to think 3 peoples words and actions are an extension of 60 million, their opinion isn't worth listening to.

 

[Harold Hill]

I thought that, considering that the 3 winners were all from outside the UK and all had remarked on the profanity used in the house, we could really have done without Russell to finish it off. How can the GBP be shocked at the way that those girls showed the UK up to foreign housemates, on the one hand, and accept profanity from one of their own TV presenters on the other. I don't like BBBM at all - I thought it would be different tonight.

I think, given the statement that Danielle's family gave to the papers a few days ago, they probably took her straight home rather than subject her to a possible confrontation from Russell.

Was I hearing things, or did someone suggest that Jack should be given a TV show??

Profanity aside, Russell has acted quite responsibly with some of the things he has said on the show ie to leave off the mob mentality, mainly to the baiting morons/arselickers they ask on to that show.

as a southern softy living in a very multi-ethnic area I know little about the north, but I've been wondering how the result, and the scale of the voting, has been playing in ethnically divided towns. Does anyone know?

Although the signals it sends outside the country are important- (we should all rejoice that trade relations with India will be ok again and they can buy tanks and bombs without this row getting in the way!)- the result may isolate homegrown racists and hopefully put a spring in the step of those who are racially discriminated against.

Could you ask Carole Malone's editor if he needs a columnist?

Proud to be British again

The top three were two Americans and an Indian - is the nation meant to give itself a slap on the back 'coz of that?

No! The part of the nation who had the wit and wisdom to put away any racist undertones and vote for the best qualities. regardless of colour or creed.
If Jade had won I would have slit my own throat in despair of what the nation was becoming!!!

Less than 10% of the population gave enough of a fuck about Big Brother to watch the final, presumably a much smaller percentage actually voted, I don't think the vote can be taken as a national referendum on what a lovely and tolerant bunch of people we all are!

Political opinion polls are based on 1500 people and are claimed to have a +/-3% error rating.

Of course it represent something, that talented well liked people will win regardless of nationality/ethnic origin. The votes of many tens of thousands of people mean more than your silly opinion.

But then I remember you from other BB threads, always popping up on race related issues I seem to recall.

Oh yes well said.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Thank fuck it's over. Let's hope Channel 4 do the decent thing and bury it for ever more.

 

[Yossarian]

The samples in polls are generally based on a more or less random selection of the population - whereas voters in the CBB final had to be people who actively sought out the opportunity to vote, and part with their hard-earned to do so, so I don't think their opinions can in any way be generalised to represent the overwhelming majority of the population who didn't give a shit about CBB.

Maybe, they aren't totally unrepresentative either though.

I don't know anyone who takes it all seriously enough to actually want to spend money voting for a winner - or anyone who admits to it, at least - I thought the people ringing those phone lines were all 13-year-old girls or something.

I suspect its much broader than that. But even if it were primarily as you state - it still bodes well for the future.

 

[Yossarian]

If the Celebrity Big Brother winner is a barometer of what the country's going to be like in the future, then I'm damn glad Bez won it a couple of years back!

I took Bez winning to be a good sign too.

They did themselves a big diservice by highlighting each of her racist comments and trying to explain them away. The explanations were pathetic and made the whole thing seem even worse, somehow. But people forget quickly - I bet her modelling career/her relationship with Teddy are back up and running in no time.

Look at Jade - she made a fortune out of being on BB - even though people detested her when she was on and she was evicted.

quick it's another BNP'er, isn't it about time you unmasked him

I doubt if she'll forget quickly.

there's been a hint of the South African Truth & Reconciliation process about all this, as offenders are forced to face up to their actions and seek (generously given) amnesty from the victim, amidst widespread public disgrace. When it's over they can get on with their lives, knowing that the disgrace will always be there, in the background.

 

[exosculate]

I was actually going to say that the IWCA obsession with the white working class makes you sound like the BNP. You're like the swappies are with Islam in reverse.

I can hardly tell the difference. Which is why I thought you were one earlier in this thread.

 

[exosculate]

I actually do suspect sympathies in his case, not membership. I've suspected BNP connected posters 5 times in the last few months. Two were BNPers, 2 were IWCA and this chap who I think is dubious.

terrible analogy

but i'll run with it if you want to, firstly give me some examples of this obsession with white working class?

IWCA is still a fairly embroynic organisation, and as such, it's activity so far has been in areas where it's members and supporters actualy live in, issues that arise are issues its members are confronted with day in day out in everyday life,not some fancy starryeyed useless notions of playing at revolution to pass the time of day. if these areas happen to have a higher proportion of white people, than say brixton, so what? should the strategy be to parachute in, lollipop's in hand to areas where they have no connection with and no base (and even no right), just to satisfy a few frightened liberals who think they are racists? they're not the SWP/Respect, so they don't do that, which demonstrates the bankruptcy of your analogy rather well i think

I can hardly tell the difference. Which is why I thought you were one earlier in this thread.

i'd say that says more about your politics than it does about the IWCA to be honest, if you can't tell the difference between a driving principle of working class self organisation without mediation from outside paternalistic trots/liberals, and a politics which has as it's goal the subjugation of the working class, and it's subordination to an ideal based on uniting all classes behind reactionary concepts like the nation, blood & honour, then frankly that's not a problem of the IWCA's
