Touched a nerve have I?

Thanks for showing me your weakness.

Me too

100%.

That crap don’t wash anymore.It s been done to death.

Only thing weak here are these responses.... Like does this have anything to do with the topic? If you think I take anything on a bloody big brother forum seriously then you're seriously fooling yourself...

Maybe after last nights result the producers will be more picky when choosing future hm8s

It's not really automatic because a lot of them were suggested by fan's who've seen their respective shows so of course they're gonna get a significant fan base before they've even entered.

Yet, we're happy to open polls on which out of three housemates is the best, and not address the fact that they were not randomly chosen, but also share the same skin colour.

Maybe people automatically go against housemates because they're black and female, but there's a big enough crowd that automatically like them based on that same assumption. I've seen it work both way.

But not a big enough fan base to even get them past week one

I'm confused what does this have to do with what I was saying :conf:

You're claiming that they have a significant fan base before entering the house, Im pointing the fan base cant get them past week one

Perfectly said. It's a constant clash between people who dislike them by default, and people who like them by default.

Back hair shaming :fist:

Significant doesn't necessarily mean the majority of viewers. I was responding to a post that claimed that people automatically liked Natalie because she's black and I pointed out that a lot of her fans knew her before she went in...

Theres body hair and theres body hair and by God hes got loads of it :joker:

And a lot on here supported her because she was a black American,loud mouthed thug

Have you not considered the fact that the last few black females on CBB were from similar reality tv backgrounds so will all get similar fans? Also surely we should be more concerned about the people who automatically dislike them because while both are problematic (and I have spoke in the past about how turning black women into these sassy caricature is damaging even when it's being admired) the fact that black women are automatically at a disadvantage is more concerning to me.

A lot on here knew her from her stint on the bad girls club and have known about her for ages. I mean look at all the campaigns to get her in.

There's no like by default, I've been a Natalie fan since 2012 :joker:

But a lot didn't know her as well, but thats by the by, she was an awful hm8s and person and was ditched by the majority vote from an audience who were disgusted by her behaviour

The BGC thread is one more active ones in the reality tv forum despite the show being cancelled and people are really putting her popularity on here down to her being black and American. LOL

:umm2:

That's the exact reason why I'm saying it's an issue. I'm not saying disliking females based on ethnicity isn't, and of course, it's a much bigger issue than the former. Nevertheless both are damaging to black women, whether you're turning them into a "meme" without intent but out of admiration or into a figure that we should be ashamed of. One is much more wrong than the other but both are still wrong.

That's fair enough. To people on both sides, if you don't believe mine or Winter's comments concern you then they probably don't.

oh please, remember when Suki and Imran were faves for some before they entered the house, I wonder why that was

The sweeping generalisations on here get more ridiculous by the series.

And sukhi was great so..???
