Not to mention this was during a time when you could pretty much get away with political incorrectness on BB whereas if that series aired when BB8 did, there would've been a heavy number of Ofcom complaints and she probably would've been ejected like Emily was.
Yeah, definitely. Her comment: "people like you have a chip on your shoulder" was so ****ing dodgy. It's crazy how much BB has evolved in the respect that you can't say anything to anyone that may be remotely offensive.

The fact that the crowd joined in with Maxwell's monkey chants is really gross too. Like, I don't have much respect for how the crowd act during C5-era BB, but I don't think they'd be able to get away with that without a firm telling off from either Emma or people who work for the show. It would be the nail in the coffin for BB.
