And was then slaughtered and evicted ASAP

In all fairness, if Pauline was white she still would've had her downfall. Same way Wolfy did.

EspeonBB 23-07-2015 06:35 PM

Lol this is so obvious. Black housemates, especially females are ALWAYS evicted and booed heavily, even the ones who really don't deserve it.

Yeah

Black men have it easier than black women.

For example, Adjoa was evicted and booed and jeered heavily by the crowd for doing nothing wrong at all. A week later, Kieran is evicted in 4in4out, and gets the best reception out of the evictees that night (all women). Harriet (who he left the house with) was booed, but when Emma said his name, he was cheered.

I think sexism also comes into the equation as well as covert racism.

Pete. 23-07-2015 06:42 PM

Kieran was an ageist bore whereas Harriet was a confident, strong woman so it was obvious who the mob would be behind

Kieran came across as a nice guy, i was supporting him. The other women that got evicted that night, and Adjoa before them, were not particularly nice

How was Adjoa not particularly nice?

I don't recall her being horrible to anyone. I can understand Sarah, Harriet, and the Twins having that description, because they were often argumentative. But Adjoa wasn't like that at all/

Calderyon 23-07-2015 06:44 PM

No, i donīt think so. If that was the case, Sam would have been evicted by the public, not the housemates.

Sam was booed though, for not doing anything wrong at all. Even Helen's winners reception last year was better than Sam's reception.

She was a right sour so and so to me. Granted, i disliked Harriet, the twins and Sarah more, but the bar was set pretty low all round this year. Interestingly, another one I liked was Eileen, and she got a great reception. So if I reflect the norm, I was pretty much in line with the crowd - although I wouldn't have booed or shouted nasty comments at the contestants

EspeonBB 23-07-2015 06:49 PM

I think it says a lot that the public found Deana and Gina too controversial to win and both got accused of being nasty towards the end of the series, yet they were happy enough to give Helen the win.

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 23-07-2015 06:50 PM

Yes.

Pete. 23-07-2015 06:51 PM

I just remembered the mob mercilessly booed Pauline's black son smh

For being a twat.

If she was hated because of racism she'd have never been popular to begin with. :hee:

Unless you're suggesting it took 5 days for the viewers to realise her skin colour? :smug:

i think because of the aggressive black woman stereotype they need to be sweet as pie otherwise they are seen as aggressive.

armand.kay 23-07-2015 07:13 PM

oop i thought you were talking about shieve not mutha p

I don't see how this theory applies to Pauline. Anyone could see how much of an absolute twat she was and her treatment of Jale was disgusting.

That had nothing to do with any "aggression" and everything to do with her being controlling of the house.
