So I've been watching through all the CBB seasons chronologically and I've currently finished CBB1-CBB4 + CBB17, doing this so that on this forum I can do my own thread in which I rank every housemate from worst to best.
I'm currently on CBB5 and finished Carole Malone's eviction (Day 10). But a weird thing I noticed was that at one point when Davina was describing the voting lines and who to vote for, the crowd suddenly start chanting "Shilpa OUT! Shilpa OUT!" This kind of confused me. Keep in mind this was before any of the racism debacle surrounding Shilpa being mistreated (though it was started by Jackiey), but I don't get it. Shilpa didn't really have any negativity edited surrounding her, and she wasn't even up for eviction on this night. For the crowd to chant someone to be out who's not nominated in the first place, it would mean they'd have to be REALLY hated e.g. Perez, Gemma, Julie, John. So can anyone tell me why is it that Shilpa was so scorned by the crowd in the early days of CBB5? Also on a side note does anyone know a good place to watch CBB5 besides YouTube? Viacom removed one or two episodes |

Because she was a WOC. The same way Hira received 'OFF' chants when entering the house just for daring to state how much she loved the UK. :/
And I don't think so, use a proxy for those blocked episodes. |

Can I get a witness?

Let's be clear that Shilpa would have been out immediately after Carole and Jade would have won the whole show if the race row never happen. Funny how it changes

Do show us the evidence that was booed for her skin colour? Especially at a time in the show's history where not many housemates received cheers at all.

Shilpa to me was always a boring housemate who thought she was much better than everyone else, even before all the horrible **** started to happen.

I think classism was a big factor. Which is also how I think it started in the house before it snowballed into race becoming a part of it.

And to be fair, a LOT of CBB housemates were non-entities in the early days... I cannot think of one influential or important housemate in CBB1 & 2 apart from Vanessa Feltz. As someone who's watched the early episodes of CBB5 recently, the only people I saw with an over-abundance of focus was Leo, Jade, Jackiey, and Danielle |

When did Shilpa ever claim or act like she's better than anyone else ? She nearly broke into tears when she couldn't sacrifice herself to be a hotel guest into going in a small room, preferring to have nobility with her actions.

This is also a myth that needs debunking tbh. Entertaining is subjective but having recently re-watched the series, I thought she was a pretty good housemate even before the whole race row came into play. She was nice, well-spoken, cultured and her intelligent conversations (something which is a rarity in today's BB) with Carole and Cleo were quite refreshing. I personally didn't think she was boring until all the racism kicked in and I liked her all the way through. |

Shilpa will probably end up my favorite CBB housemate ever after I'm done watching and do the ranking TBH

There's many people who were pretty much nonexistent on the show who would have thrived in other series/circumstances. But prior to the race row beginning she was a background character. |

But of course, back in those days we had live feed and stuff so the highlights weren't the only thing we got from the show. |

Danielle and Jack were the primary guilty party for racism IMO. |
