Where i come from we call this a wind up, a joke, a prank not racist
Someone comes to the uk from another country. Talks non stop about how much he loves the uk and the queen. Then they play a mean trick on him. A trick that makes fun of his love for the country. Some people will view that as racist.
Some people will view jelly babies as racist. There comes a point where common sense has to override, or else nobody will dare say boo to a Goose.

Maybe thats how you see it but the way i see it is this, he has gone on and on about the queen since he has been in there so what better prank than to get a queen lookalike and play a prank on him.

Are you saying that because someone is from a foreign country you cannot play pranks or jokes on them? are saying only UK citizens are allowed to have pranks played on them in the UK and on TV shows?

Give it a break and stop trying to find fault in places where is none, Jeramy Beadle made a living and name for himself doing such pranks on British people and we all laughed and had fun with Watch out beadles about when we where younger.

ITS A JOKE LIGHTEN UP AND GET OUT MORE, maybe you should stop seeing Rodrigo as a foreigner and see him as a Person like anyone else.

Well they are all a little bit simple and naive at times, except Marcus who has that level of cynacism coursing through his veins. If he genuinely believes that the Queen would take time out of her schedule to go into the BB house and have a one-to-one with him then he clearly is deluded, and implies that maybe he doesn't know that much about our Queen.

Has he been saying all this just to gain citizinship? He doesn't need it after all, he has an Italian passport doesn't he, well he can work and live here all his life then, but he wants it still. Don't trust him, don't like him, hope he looks a right Charlie when this blows up.

Incidentally we should have done away with them years ago.

At no point did I say that that was the way I felt. I do however know that there would be people who would feel that way. I am just saying that I hope BB knows the flack they will get.

LMAO, how gullible some people are:tongue:
Rodrigo knows very well , its not the queen. HE is just playing along for the fun of it. HE probably thinks he will fail the task if he doesnt play along. LOL!

Really? Would you think that by entering a tv game show you could meet one of the biggest heads of states in the world? and be left alone in a room with her?

Someone has said he's playing along, we'll have to see if thats the case, I don't know though, the singing of the national anthem makes me think he believed it all.

Wildcat! 12-08-2009 07:39 PM

Appearance, I am pretty sure he was just playing along. HE was just sitting there having a normal conversastion. YOu think he would even be able to talk normally, if it was the queen. He doesnt want to disrespect the queen, so thats why he just pretended it was really her. He is not a 5 year old.

im sorry but LOL that was so funny ! :laugh:

luminoussun 12-08-2009 07:42 PM

God!! He should be kicked up the ass for being so gullible

Enid 12-08-2009 07:43 PM

I just find it a bit odd how anyone could idolise the Queen as much as he says he does.

The whole thing is just laughable. :laugh:

boomoo 12-08-2009 07:44 PM

There is absolutely nothing about race involved in this task.

He has lived in this country long enough to know what the Queen does and does not do.

If he does not read newspapers or watch TV news that is his problem. If he 'loves' the Queen that much he must refer to her website and learn what she does.
I think his constant talk is to do with being given permanent residence.

I'm 50/50 on this one. Part of me can't believe a 23 year old man (he's not a kid) could be that naive.

But maybe he is.:bigsmile:

You got people ringing OFCOM about this. :joker:

Some people take BB too far. What next? The sniffer dog was not an actual sniffer dog and was racist to real sniffer dogs. :laugh:

What was the sniffer dog doing in there in the first place? To make the prank look more genuine? :puzzled:

He should have guessed when she asked for milk and lemon in her tea!

is this comment slightly tongue in cheek because if it is a real observation then you really need to get a life,,,,racism indeed,,its these type of comments by the pc brigade mean life is just that bit stupider

boomoo 12-08-2009 07:51 PM

Rodrigo is stating his allegience to the Queen because he thinks that is the way to be given permanent recidency.

Shasown 12-08-2009 07:54 PM

There we go Endemol manipulating all the viewers again, oh look poor rodders being made fun offiving him todays sympathy vote.

I just hope they do the same for Lisa in the next few days

Shasown 12-08-2009 08:08 PM

Great isnt it, Endemol manipulating the viewers in Rodder's favour, getting him todays sympathy vote

All I can say is when are they going to give lisa some task in order to get her some sympathy?

IF you ask me, he doesnt really. Its just something he thinks will endear him to the british public. Its fair enough, I dont blame him. BUt he knows she is only the queen because she was born that. NOthing to admire anyone for.:spin2:

mother6 12-08-2009 08:28 PM

It's a game show which they all signed up for, it supposed to be

entertaining at the HM expense. Some people take things far to seriously if it

upsets you don't watch.

merv 12-08-2009 09:48 PM

I can't believe the stuff folk complain about, Jean Charles?as been hired to do this since the 60;s.
Not sure if anyone wants to find my post,either here or digi-spy, but it was my suggestion the night they got him to write the letter

quietman1963 12-08-2009 10:13 PM

It's just a light-hearted wind-up. It was hilarious seeing Rodrigo saluting and singing the National Anthem. Can't believe people are taking this so seriously.

keithafc 12-08-2009 10:19 PM

I'll be completely honest about this. Anyone that complains to Ofcom about this is a ****ing idiot. I don't care what anyone says. If some one seriously think's that's racist. They need to get out and seriously get a life.
