Celebrity Big Brother 2007

[Balbi]

It's the open racism the endemol lot said hadn't occured.

Thing is, it's not open to Shilpa because she wasn't there prior to tonight. But it's open to everyone watching the show of all ethnic backgrounds.

It's fucking embarrassing to see that some people think like that, even more tragic they express those opinions knowing they're on television. I await with bated breath to see how long before a tabloid sticks up for Jade/Danielle/Jo once they've left the house. It probably won't be very fucking long

 

[tommers]

i'm confused though - each night's show is normally from the previous night. Was tonight's show last night's or today's?

it was yesterday's "action".

you can watch it live now if you like.

 

[danny la rouge]

i'm sure someone will be along soon to complain that people have ruined their lighthearted, 'fun' thread

...with 'willy waving'.

 

[Dubversion]

I didn't suggest it. It was someone else, I didn't condone his actions and called it silly. I was just saying that it was not meant to be taken seriously and why. But that automatically makes me a "nasty, sneering, misogynist reactionary lad mag arsehole." I'm none of those, well maybe the arsehole part is true.

like i say, i didn't name you, did i? so you included yourself, I didn't.

anyway, you defended the joke and accused those offended of not having a sense of humour (which IS condoning it).

 

[DJ Squelch]

so did anyone else find that diary room scene with danielle very suspect.

Like either it was fed / scripted to allay controversy, or to give a hint to people in the house that they need to moderate their behaviour?

it seemed very convenient, very false, very placatory.

There was a comment on PB earlier today that her management had threatened to pull her out if Endemol didn't do something to try and improve her image. The diary room chat seemed to fit in with that.

Also a rumour that Darren Lyons (Ozzie paparazzi agengy owner) is going in tommorrow.

but then Im still waiting for Gary Coleman from their last rumour

 

[exosculate]

Can people stop waving their willies.

 

[danny la rouge]

It's the open racism the endemol lot said hadn't occured.

Yes, but I think they'll wriggle out by saying it wasn't said to Shilpa, it was said about her. And they only said nobody had overtly racially abused her to her face.

In other words, Danielle did not say "Why don't you fuck off home?" but "I think she should fuck off home".

 

[Balbi]

Adding someone in now would make it even more of a joke of the fucking thing.

I honestly tuned in tonight for the first time, in order to catch the edge of it.

"Is this what the UK is? I'm sorry. It's quite a shame actually"

Spot on. Spot fucking on.

DLR, any half competent person would batter the living shit out of the endemol statement. Funny how NOT ONE of the media outlets have done that, just swallowed the statement and made 'a clash of class and culture' the issue.

It's definitely a class clash, Shilpa has some. Danielle, Jo and Jade do not.

 

[tommers]

Can people stop waving their willies.

have you put a camera in my house?

how do you know?

fuck!

 

[exosculate]

but then Im still waiting for Gary Coleman from their last rumour

He looks like he's demonstrating the size of his.

It didn't work, though, did it?

 

[Dubversion]

thing is, this has been exactly what C4 want. I'd on the one hand love all this to blow up in their faces, but on the other hand not because of what that might involve for the innocent parties

I'm liking your style.

I'm sure The Star won't have a pic of Danielle with her tits out on the cover tomorrow

No, it looked very contrived.

You gave me the move kidder!

 

[tommers]

they would anyway.

You know that all 3 of them will get paid shitloads of cash by the tabloids for their side of the story.

Which I'm certain will all carry the line: "I'm not a racist" somewhere within it's bile.

 

[Lisarocket]

Also a rumour that Darren Lyons (Ozzie paparazzi agengy owner) is going in tommorrow.

That would be most interesting

I think they should get BA in there as he wouldn't take no shit from those fools

 

[rocketman]

it's probably the most dispiriting thread i've ever seen here.

I don't know Dub. I found the New Orleans thread quite dispiriting - didn't that also have some racial element, or is it my old mind? And the Iraq invasion thread, that was bad. I was depressed with the Tsunami, too.

This isn't the most dispiriting. It is the closest to home.

 

[colacubes]

they would anyway.

Yep

 

[exosculate]

I'm always glad to be of service.

I'm not sure i follow - do you mean the events were dispiriting, or the comments on the threads that resulted?

 

[maximilian ping]

i just feel sorry for jade because despite making a life for herself out of nothing, she's fucked up

God yes. Once Shilpa is back in India, continuing her successful career in filmmaking (and winning the award for the most striking BB contestant imo), Danielle, Jo and Jade will be used by the tabloids to hammer out a message.

"She thought she was too good for us, typical bloody pakis always taking offence bad as the bloody niggers. Muslims too in their burkhas, all terrorists innit!"

Fuck, I need a new country

 

[rocketman]

Both.

 

[rocketman]

She didn't make a life for herself out of nothing. She appeared on a reality TV show, shagged some bloke, exposed herself and talked about her 'kebab', then she got an agent. People usually need to work a bit harder to get success than that.

 

[Dubversion]

Both.

don't remember much about either the tsunami or new orleans threads and the stuff about the iraq invasion did involve a lot of bullshit, i know.

but there's something about this which upsets me especially - the hypocrisy, the sneering, the sheer fucking bigotry. It's all the more bewildering because the people coming out with this crap are being as bad as the people they're slagging off. .

I think you're concentrating on the actions of a few arseholes. Most people here aren't going in for that kind of stuff. Just a few.

As usual, they are the loudest.
