I don't see how people who were supporting the twins can say it was fix especially after the advantage they had with being counted as one housemate. Brian won fair & square at the end of day whether people like it or not.

I can't believe how racist your initial post was. Sympathy vote for a black man? Feck off, Brian did NOT win because he was black. Have some respect for the man.

What an idiotic thing to say. If he didnt win it just would have meant that BB's fix would have a success, but he did, and I'm so happy.

So the fact that none of the other black contestants didn't win passed you by?

I don't get what you mean "sympathy vote"? Are you saying he got a 'sympathy vote' because he's black? Even if he did, what's his colour got to do with it? He won fair and square, if you have a problem with that, tell the 60% that voted him. It's Brian's night, leave it as that. Not everyone gets their way.

I think Amy21 is referring to the "minority" when she says "sympathy", rather than being offensive to black people inparticular.

wtf do you know how ignorant your thread is, acting like being black is a disability or a difference to others... no wonder it took so long for a black person to win if all viewers are like you

Look, love, when you say shIte like "I wanted Brian to win Einstein!" then why say C4 got what they wanted from the racism row?

Why ask for an explanation? It's as easy as a, b, c.

a) Channel 4 have Goody cause the race row = ratings/publicity

b) Channel 4 use Emily Parr to get the heat off their back.

c) Channel 4 put in Brian to win the show (a deserving winner, too).

Where does it get hard to understand? Channel 4 control the show, you know.

Eh?

I think you're getting yourself a bit mixed up now, for no reason.

You're the one who said this was down to the racism row.

Yeah, so?

I didn't say Jade's a minority. If you're going to fudge the issue, there's no point us discussing it. Show some clearer understanding and we can carry on.

You said Channel 4 got their way, implying that Bri was not a pure winner. What was your point? (Who should have won?)

You reckon Brian only won due to the racism row. My point; that you think that's the only reason he won. If not, why not say in your initial post to this thread?

Brian was a good winner.

BUT

Channel 4 put in whoever they want to. If they want a transexual to win, they put in Nadia (BB 5) and no competition. If they want a tourette's sufferer to win, they put in Pete (BB 7), and no competition...

You get the idea? Big Brother isn't really a contest, you know.

I suppose you could argue that the producers made it interesting by putting the twins together at the last minute, and that'd be a perfectly reasonable argument, but it didn't make much difference to the big picture. Brian still smashed them in the vote.

I'm sorry but your not making sense. Channel 4 didn't put Nadia in because they wanted a transexual to win. That's a silly thing to say. Nadia was an entertaining housemate who was funny and stood up to the bullies in the house. There is no motive for channel 4 to want a transexual to win. What would it achieve for their personal gain? A little novelty factor?

So you're saying Brian won because Channel 4 wanted a black winner? Brian won because the public wanted an entertaining, funny and genuine housemate to win Big Brother, which he was.
