why the boos

[alex_front2]

He's totally innocuous. If anything he's dull.

[Creggle]

Because he's not Zoe.

[Sophiee]

I was confused by this too :conf: he's done nothing to warrant boos at all (or any sort of reaction to be honest).

[Jack_]

Because he wears a turban, let's be honest

Sad but true

[Shaun]

I would say it's just because he said he's going to win and people think he's arrogant? :shrug: I don't know. Crowds suck.

[Lister of Smeg]

Dont worry about Mace Pav Widu the Force is with him did you see the way the butterfly reacted to him yesterday the Force is strong with this one very strong :thumbs:

[kistar]

Because he wears a turban, let's be honest

Sad but true

Really? As if that's why!

[abhorson]

Because he wears a turban, let's be honest

Sad but true

Really?

[JTM45]

It's just ridiculous!!!
He's done nothing to deserve that and out of all of the footage of the three newbs he's had the most interesting, observant and intelligent things to say!

Zoe's just bland and comes across as very condescending and Bianca was just far too much!

[kistar]

Because he wears a turban, let's be honest

Sad but true

Isn't that a bit racist suggesting everyone who doesn't wear a turban would dislike him just because he wears one ? I actually take offence at that remark.

[Vicky.]

He hasn't really came across well at all..and anyone who isn't loved completely gets booed these days

[Jack_]

The scum in the crowd are ignorant, rude and nasty enough as it is, I don't think adding Islamaphobia (even though he's not a Muslim, this is how silly their prejudice gets) into the mix is really that absurd a notion

[Shaun]

Most of the BOTS crowd (and probably a large portion of the eviction crowd) wanted Biannca to stay because they buy into the whole "if you're getting your tits out, you're a character" thing, so I imagine a fair portion of the boos were just default "well I don't want Zoe out either" boos.

:clap1: And he gained more votes than Bianca.

You do know Mo Farah is a devout Muslim and everyone in this country loves him and is well aware he is a Muslim.

We're talking about the crowd, not 'everyone', so no. Race doesn't even come into it, religion isn't a race. But please don't try and insinuate I am one because that's the last thing I am and that is offensive

And if you don't think there's a problem with Islamaphobia in the UK then well...

no

Exactly!

Once again, this thread is about the crowd and the boos he received from...that's right...the crowd

[Jordan.]

Sad but true

Tru, the chav crowd can't identify with him

Have you really just compared an Olympic and World champion athlete to a contestant on a Channel 5 reality show?

Moving on...

I think if he was Latvian and he got booed it might be understandable, I think most people know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim , main one being the turban.

He is a Muslim , we all love him get over it.

[abhorson]

Did find the turban connotation a bit strange.

[Jack_]

I think if he was Latvian and he got booed it might be understandable, I think most people know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim , main one being the turban.

I don't, in fact I know people don't because hundreds of thousands of people joined multiple Facebook groups a couple of years ago about turbans and posted negative comments about the Muslim community and I often stumble across people who on their raging criticism of Islam like to mention turbans

A lot of people don't know the difference and aren't interested in the difference either, it's a different culture...therefore they don't like it. Media depictions don't help matters either

If you were to ask most members of the crowd what religion Pav belongs to, I'd bet money the majority would say Islam

[armand.kay]

For those suggesting that racism is above the bb audience pls explain ehy someone like hira was booed because idgi.

[Marc]

Because he's too sure of himself. He'll be gone soon

[Brother Leon]

Not sexy enough.

[Kazanne]

I really like pav,hope he gets better edits this week,he looks like someone who has his head screwed on.

[Pete.]

People are finally defying against the bores

[Brooklyn]

Yeah, I don't really understand the boos either. Seems a decent guy.

[MrWong]

For those suggesting that racism is above the bb audience pls explain ehy someone like hira was booed because idgi.

Good point. She was a sweet, funny and harmless.

[CaudleHalbard]

I always thought that black guy, Brian Belo, should have won, over those white twins.... :(

....... oops, I forgot............... he did! :D

[Futaba]

I was surprised by the cheers for Ash, as well.

Honestly I really don't like the crowd at all and I wish the'd just get rid of it...

[CaudleHalbard]

Yes, the crowd should be evicted from all future BB series. Just an annoyance now.

[Achilles]

We don't live in a country where the vast majority of people are tolerant and open minded about other cultures. That is just a fairy tale people like to believe in to make themselves feel better.
But, Pav was not booed just because he is a Sikh, he was booed because crowd can either cheer or boo, 1 of 2, they cheer for Zoe, boo for Biannca and decide boo for Pav. He hasn't done anything of note to deserve cheers or boos, so :shrug:

[CaudleHalbard]

I don't believe Pav was booed because he's a Sikh. I think he was booed because he came over as a bit full of himself in his VT.

Why do people do such awful VTs? :( They rarely live up to their promises!

[Black Dagger]

He's not attractive enough as a male tbqh.

But he can have the boos for not getting Steven out now :fist:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hira: I immigrated from Pakistan to England and feel so blessed to be able to life my life in this beautiful country ^_^
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sylvia: I'm from Sierra Leone and there's a civil war going on so I'm so thankful I can seek refuge in this great country
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yup.

[Marsh.]

Rachel Rice was booed and she was white and she won.

Making out Hira was booed because she wasn't white is clutching at straws. Virtually every housemate is booed going in and coming out since about BB7.

[Marsh.]

Hira: I immigrated from Pakistan to England and feel so blessed to be able to life my life in this beautiful country ^_^

Incorrect. Another poster (is it you? :suspect:) made these claims a few weeks ago and I rewatched those clips from launch night and Sylvia had a couple of faint boos whilst walking into the house (as 99% of housemates do, black or white) and there was no noise at all when she mentioned Sierra Leone.

Try harder next time.

[Black Dagger]

Goddess Rice getting booed was a travesty.

Bet Luke paid the crowd.

[psychtracker]

Yeah, i thought the Boos were ridiculous as well. True, he hasn't done much..but, he's not had much chance. We've seen barely any footage of Zoe..less than Pav..i'd suggest (and she's done nothing special), but gets rapturous applause & cheers!!!

[chuff me dizzy]

I thought that last night,even felt a tad sorry for him,but after today he can piss right off

[abhorson]

Spent a whole pound on saving him. Worth it to see SB evicted.

But no more now. Call me fickle.

I'll address these points accordingly,

A white person receiving a mixed reaction does not automatically rectify a ton of other colored people being booed, I don't know what you're trying to prove. White people can get booed too? Nobody was disputing that.

"Virtually every housemate is booed going in and coming out since about BB7" is such a gross exaggeration I'm not going to address it.

The boos for Sylvia weren't faint but okay.

[chuff me dizzy]

oh ffs the racism card is being flashed around :bored:

[abhorson]

oh ffs the racism card is being flashed around :bored:

Just because he got booed, quite agree.

All too easy. Nearly everyone gets boos. On all polls Pav did not fair well so boos were expected at the crowd pantomime.

[Razor]

Because he doesn't deserve cheers, so they boo instead.

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh ffs the racism card is being flashed around :bored:

am I the only one who finds this hilarious

[abhorson]

You will probably get a few who over-react to agree with you.

Very good reasoning.

Yes, they were I watched her entrance on youtube. No booing whatsoever came from her Sierra Leone comment either. Complete bollocks.

It's not a gross exaggeration. Every housemate gets booed. I could count on one hand the people that don't.

White people getting booed does make a difference, as people seem to be using booing as an example of racism. Rachel Rice won, was booed. Brian Belo won the year before to cheers. Racism? Bollocks.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I wasn't saying that the boos came immediately after her mentioning she's from Sierra Leone, or that Hira's came directly after she mentioned Pakistan. They were both booed going into the house, that's what the focus was on. What's complete bollocks is your gross exaggeration of how many people get booed but keep insisting on that if you wish.

The problem is that you're thinking of the voting public's racism in all or nothing terms. A white winner receiving a mixed reception doesn't cancel out the countless people of color who have been booed. Similarly, a black male being cheered doesn't mean that the voting public is never racist ever.

[wormsinfested]

He is just boring as ****. Dont stand out in any way. Just take a random drone A4 person and put him in the house and its another Pav.

I never said they're never racist ever. If you actually follow the flow of discussion I was responding to a comment which consisted of "Hira was booed on her eviction in BB10" as an example of racism? :conf: How is that an example of racism.

I'm not thinking of it in all or nothing terms, I'm saying it as it is, most housemates come out to boos. Watch any eviction video from BB5 onwards on youtube and 9 times out of 10 the housemate comes out to boos.

I never said a white winner cancelled out racism, I pointed out a white woman who won the series got boos. So if the actual woman voted winner of the whole series gets boos, then they'll boo anyone.

Lisa was booed going into the house? Why is Hira and Sylvia's boos going in an example of racism? You quoted Sierra Leone and Pakistan comments followed by boos so if you weren't implying they were booed for those things then what exactly is your point?

Hira: I immigrated from Pakistan to England and feel so blessed to be able to life my life in this beautiful country ^_^
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sylvia: I'm from Sierra Leone and there's a civil war going on so I'm so thankful I can seek refuge in this great country
