I don't they were just examples.. i just wondered why single out Arabs although i dont know many of them either... isn't one of the people on the Apprentice Arabian?
Yes, I think Yasmina is Arab.

So how comes the Apprentice have Arabs but not Big Brother?

Is it a counscious decision by Channel 4 to do this?

Oh cool. We have a concrete answer.

Thanks a lot. I think it means we've had 3 arabs in the Big Brother house. That's not bad.

Are you saying every single Arab who's auditioned for BB hasn't had a personality?

arista 13-05-2009 06:04 PM

But everyone has a personality.

Why should someone have to be a loud-mouth like Alexandra or Bex to get into the house?

Isn't this the big flaw of BIg Brother: they put in weird housemates instead of normal people that us viewers can relate to.

arista 13-05-2009 06:06 PM

The One Funny Arab type
was that crazy, sometimes angry, Iraqi.

Who was that?

Ahmed was crazy but he was a Somalian.

Captain.Remy 13-05-2009 06:08 PM

Because they aren't entertaining or worthy a shot in the house ?

How can you say a person like Carol, Tracey, Belinda were worthy of a shot in the house?

They were terrible housemates. Absolutely awful.

arista 13-05-2009 06:11 PM

OK Somalian Via Iraq.

I hated the 3 of them. :thumbs:

As far as I know, these are Arabs I have seen in the bb house.

Ahmed (BB5)
Kemal BB6
Mohamed (BB9) Somalians are mixed, so some arab.
And Maysoon BB9

Its probably more difficult or the producers to find arab housemates, because muslims tend to avoid places where there is free flow of alcohol, and likely a lot of nudity. SO its not surprising that its rare. It has more to do with the Arabs not willing to go in such a program, than BB not wanting them in!

Remember how sel conscious Maysoon was, and I am sure part of the reason she left was her family.

arista 13-05-2009 07:14 PM

Yes another Like Ahmed
would be Fun.

There's quite a lot of Arabs in our country, so why have the producers not chosen any?

Maybe the've never auditioned.

It doesn't really matter as far as I'm concerned as once their entertaining :tongue:

Noel 14-05-2009 11:04 AM

Oh c'mon. Just because there haven't been that many Arabic housemates, doesn't mean the producers have some sort of vendetta against the nation. There are many different nationalties living in Britain, and most of them have never been on, so why single out Arabs? The producers don't choose people according to their race, but by their entertainment value. By trying to make BB seem racist, you're looking racist yourself, dear.

:rolleyes:

BIG-BRO-FAN 14-05-2009 11:07 AM

Well said Bradley!


Remember Ahmed in BB5 smashing the plates everywhere in the garden because the bell wouldn't stop? :laugh3:

chanchan 14-05-2009 11:59 AM

its like asking why there hasnt been housemates from wicklow it means that they didnt have the personality that producers were looking for not because they dont like wicklow
