"Any American I meet I'll chin the ****"

[Jordan.]

Harrowing display of xenophobia from Chris that went mostly unnoticed tonight :think:

[Cherie]

Chris trying to save himself by using the trendy c word

[Black Dagger]

Get ha out. Thug. He should not condone that behaviour being an ex copper!!

[Jordan.]

I preferred when he wasn't seen or heard

[Denver]

Do you blame him? They have put the worst bunch of Americans possible in that house

[Daniel-X]

I think he should've been given a warning completely out of order and xenophobic

[Denver]

You forgot to mention Farrah hated Brits oh yea i forgot she one of your faves

[Gusto Brunt]

I preferred when he wasn't seen or heard

This new Chris was quite scary.:shocked:

[nim136]

That was out of order, if that doesn't seal his fate tomorrow...

[Cal.]

You forgot to mention Farrah hated Brits oh yea i forgot she one of your faves

Farrah said she loved the British public - she just hates the Brits in the house. Chris was talking about every American.

[Daniel-X]

You forgot to mention Farrah hated Brits oh yea i forgot she one of your faves

Oh yeah you forgot your favourite rule again :pat: not to mention other members hunni. :pat:

Plus Farrah was talking about the Brits in the house not outside. Chris was talking about the whole of the USA so try again :pat:

[Jordan.]

You forgot to mention Farrah hated Brits oh yea i forgot she one of your faves

Um not when she's one of my least faves of all time

[Daniel.]

Vile comment!

[Livia]

It was a knee-jerk comment. Made me laugh though...

[Ashley.]

Nobody cares about Chris until he calls someone a **** :sad:

[Josy]

I laughed. I guess a lot would feel that way after being in a confined space with Farrah and Jenna for any length of time.

[Livia]

I don't think people care about him even after the comment.

[Livia]

I laughed. I guess a lot would feel that way after being in a confined space with Farrah and Jenna for any length of time.

I'm sure quite a lot of people, myself included, would end up being led out by police under a blanket.

[Jordan.]

Not when Austin is there to restore the faith

[Bailey2Be]

I get theme but really starting to get tired of certain UK housemates making it be about the UK housemates versus everyone who is American. The U.S. housemates may be acting crazy at times but they keep their issues between them and the other British housemates. The Brits housemates have to keep making it about them versus all Americans in general.

[susie q]

I laughed. I guess a lot would feel that way after being in a confined space with Farrah and Jenna for any length of time.

Agreed, I hope he stays.

[smudgie]

:joker: What we in these parts call " all wind and watter" .
Just letting off steam.

[lewis111]

who'd thought there would be a thread about Chris one day (minus the get him out campaigns or how boring he is)

[rusticgal]

Do you blame him? They have put the worst bunch of Americans possible in that house

Exactly...I am sure most Americans would be ashamed of those two representing them. Let's face it all you hear is those two and Austin shouting their heads off at every opportunity...screaming banchees.. His comment was understandable bearing in mind all the **** that spews out of their mouths...it's enough to traumatise you!!

[rusticgal]

It was a knee-jerk comment. Made me laugh though...

Exactly...human nature :joker:

[BENDERBOY]

Don't blame him, he has to spend everyday with those two vile slugs.

[Liam-]

Hysterical

[rusticgal]

Don't blame him, he has to spend everyday with those two vile slugs.

Precisely...3 out of the 5 remaining Americans don't give a great representation.

[the truth]

a thug and a bigot and worst of all, a bore

[waterhog]

Harrowing display of xenophobia from Chris that went mostly unnoticed tonight :think:


they have shown it - always a day later we see the consequences.

[FacelessME]

a thug and a bigot and worst of all, a bore

:clap1: Ain't that the truth. :smug:

[Absorption]

Kind of rich to call it xenophobic when the series is set up as "UK vs US" and the US housemates have been told to nominate only the Brits. I think we know that this was a flippant comment and that it wasn't actually advocating violence...

wrong. its not a sip of the tongue, his hate and bigotry is deep rooted...that's who he is, that's his character

[goldensunlight]

I think I preferred it when he didn't get any airtime.

[Absorption]

I didn't say it was "a slip of the tongue", I said it was a flippant comment, ie one which shouldn't be taken seriously.

Impressive psychological analysis, though..."hate and bigotry is deep-rooted"! All from one comment. A place on the BBBOTS sofa beckons.

Hey, got to be better than the Speakmans or whatever that couple is with the bloke whose nose looks like a cock...

[JoshBB]

Do you blame him? They have put the worst bunch of Americans possible in that house

Yes we do blame him.

It's called prejudice.

[JoshBB]

Don't blame him, he has to spend everyday with those two vile slugs.

What you're basically saying is "It's not his fault! He can be xenophobic towards all americans because around 4 of them are not nice people."

[Kizzy]

He did sound like a thug... put me right off him.

[chuff me dizzy]

I peed myself :joker:

[Gusto Brunt]

I laughed. I guess a lot would feel that way after being in a confined space with Farrah and Jenna for any length of time.

I laughed too, but I also wanted to chin the ****.:joker::joker:

Only joking. I abhor violence. :)

[rusticgal]

It was hilarious....people on here take things far too seriously...

[Black Dagger]

Ha ha I love assault.

[reece(:]

He needs reprimanding for such remarks.

[Tarryn]

I'm half American & was not in the slightest bit offended by it.
What I am offended by is those two foul-mouthed bitches Jenna & Farrah being allowed to be seen as a true representation of American women on this show.
If I was stuck in that house with those two I would have jumped the fence by now.
Plus, towards the end of the show last night when Scoop was talking in the bedroom you could hear Jenna behind him totally slagging off the Brits.
Jenna clearly hates them. Wanting them to be grateful for team USA winning food for them. She is an awful woman.

[hazyjo]

I thought it was amusing! Only a joke. I'm sure he didn't mean it literally :rolleyes:

[letmein]

I'm an American and it made me laugh. Hell, I'd want to smack a few of them if I could. Good, god, they're out of control!

Had a good chuckle when he said the line, it shows his frustration with the inability to communicate. Crass American reality TV stars aren't his usual company. I feel badly for him, as he's most likely going out tonight, just when he's getting started.

[Robodog]

It was a hilarious comment that let out his frustration in the context of a competition deliberately designed to pitch the UK vs the US.

People calling it xenophobic are stupidly over-reacting without actually thinking it through or seeing the reality of the situation.

[Rob!]

I thought it was quite funny. No doubt he'll get a load of hate for it though mainly from people who probably would feel exactly the same in his situation.

[waitingtobechinned]

Come on Chris,acting and reality son are completely different.You been acting sooo long you've lost touch with reality hey??BTW that was said with an American accent so you need to come visit here in Dorset.Id love to see those acting abilities personally.

[waitingtobechinned]

a thug and a bigot and worst of all, a bore

Actually an acting thug as that's all he knows but gathering by watching him in the house hes forgot how to even do that.Someone buy the poor man some wine before he whines!!!

[Ammi]

..I have a feeling that he was just getting started in a way that was going to go very badly for him so maybe went just at the right time...for me, he didn't really try to communicate or get involved much, just seemed like a totally negative person ..and if he thinks in terms of 'crass American TV stars' which he seems to, like he's somehow above them../then what does that say about him/him feeling superior in some way...

..it's great to see you again SA, I've missed you..:love:...

[lostalex]

I'd like to see him try with George Zimmerman, he'll get some swift 'Murican justice.

[kirklancaster]

It was a jocular comment and he did not literally mean that he was going to 'chin' anyone.

When I used to gamble in the actual 'bookies' shops and had a particularly 'bad day' - mainly thanks to losing greyhound bets - I used to joke that I was going to "kick" the first greyhound I came across. It was a joke, and Chris Ellison was joking too.

And no - he was not one of my favourites.

he was trying to act like a hard ass, when he is the farthest thing from a hard ass ever. It was pathetic.

kirky boy you back the wrong horse or should I say grey hound.

unlucky. :hehe:

He was kidding Alex... the British love affair with the USA continues unabated. I think he was trying to be funny. Anyhoo... it's a big fuss over a silly, unfunny, off the cuff comment. You know we Brits adore you really x

[Beso]

Farrah said she loved the British public - she just hates the Brits in the house. Chris was talking about every American.

she wants to kill every mutha****er.
