The hate for Deborah's Nigerian accent

[LukeB]

I don't get it :unsure:

It's her culture and it's lovely to hear these type of accents from different countries on big brother

[LukeB]

It's a brilliant accent and i would like to hear it for hours

[reece(:]

If it's all people can find to dislike Deborah then that's fine with me, haters can stay being petty.

[lewis111]

It's clearly just a joke she uses at times of fun etc
And all the other HMs seem fine with it - the hate is baffling

[LukeB]

It would be understandable if it was a white person taking it the piss

but it's her roots and she's having fun so it's harmless. it's quite a silly reason to dislike. but what can you do.

[lewis111]

People on FB also seem to know better than Deborah what a Nigerian accent is and claim she's doing it wrong

There's SOOO much hate for it just look at any FB vid that has the accent in it

Or if she was putting on an annoying like high pitched voice
But there's nothing annoying about it at all
Would people be that bothered if it were her normal accent (probabaly)

I think the problem is that it's starting to getting annoying now.Deborah has been quite likeable for a few weeks but she's started doing it more and more recently and it's grating on people now.
I do like her but that accent is getting on my tits now since yesterday.

Why is it annoying?

[Northern Monkey]

Why is it annoying?

Because she's doing it more frequently now i think.It was quite funny at first but now it's getting old.

What if it was her real accent though?

That would'nt be annoying obvs.We've all got used to her real voice but she's all of a sudden putting on a new one which i did find pretty amusing for abit but for me it's getting old now.

I'm not bothered about the accent thing, of course it's put on that she goes from her Cockney accent to her Nigerian accent, but it's harmless imo compared to some of the stuff that's gone down in the house.

My most annoying thing about Deborah is her flirting/Showmance thing with Kieran, that task tonight in particular just highlights my biggest irritation with Deborah because the way that she responds to him annoys me too, and I've never liked Kieran much anyway.

I still like Deborah, but I am possibly the only viewer out there that's liking Hannah more than Deborah because of the fact that Deiran is just replacing Smellie.

It's such a trivial thing to hate a housemate over, like I can't imagine getting offended over an accent but w/e

People from all backgrounds can mimic any accent they want to. As long as there is no malice then what's the problem?

Doing funny voices is one of the oldest and most universal jokes in the world. Everyone round the world laughs at silly voice jokes. Always will.

Deborah's Nigerian accent is brilliant, she does it with such humour and real character.

It's annoying, she does it too much. It offends me. She tries too hard, it's annoying.
