that apology was insencere, did you see her smirk in the mirror?

I thought that. Yes it was a silly thing to say, but it clearly wasn't meant as racist, only a fool would suggest otherwise. I understand why BB had to pull her up on it though, but the reaction of this compared to Conor threatening to violate a woman with a brush is ludicrous. All he got was a slap on the wrist.

And I like the guy but clearly the two reactions are highly inconsistent.

Not for everyone he's even worse for me. Anyone who talks about doing the stuff he's said even if they try to pass it off as joking is inherently a twat. He'll do it again though and get kicked off. No doubt. I bet there's a few women walking round Ireland just waiting to spill the beans on him.

But Emily said the n word which is a whole lot worse, + we had literally just had the Jade Goody racist stuff so it was understandable that she got kicked.

Typo ;D

Nah, I just gambled with that one haha.

Yeah I guess that's a good point. I still think someone saying the n word now would get kicked.

Only because she bottled it and picked the smallest jar also meaning the smallest number of points.

My jaw dropped when she said that, but I don't think she meant it in a racist way, she's just ignorant.

totally, Conors was worst IMO, but racism is worst for BB i guess.

I don't think she meant it in a racist way. She was just looking for any insult to throw at him. It wasn't one of her usual calm and collected comments, she was spewing a load of nonsense cos she was upset. I don't think she's a racist.

Redway 28-06-2012 10:18 PM

What annoys me is the way skin colour has to be brought into the house all the time. There really is no need.

No, I did not. But I will be looking closely... I don't like her at all. But I really think she let her stupid gob flap open without thinking, I don't think it was mean in a racial sense. Just my take on it.

She did smirk in mirror ,if she thinks its ok to talk about her parents like they are dirt she wont give a chuff about someone in bb house

fruit_cake 28-06-2012 10:29 PM

you could definitely see it in her face, just like the cat who got the cream.

Exactly, it starts in the home, if she doesnt respect parental authority, then why respect others?

Her and conor will be hated

What planet are you on ? They already are and have been for days - No band wagon needed

cfromhx02 28-06-2012 10:55 PM

I'm sure Big Brother ofcourse Big Bully now will be really pleased she called him that

It's obvious they've wanted to encourage and help the bullies mean tomorrows eviction is based on them cheating by discussing nominations

all to try and make the show more controversial to improve ratings

smart thinking Big Bullly

as thousands are turned off by the bad preying on the good

I'm sure they'll love it hey she's in the bad ones they can get away with anything right even racism as long as it improves ratings because it's more contro

that's the way the thinking of BB has gone I'm sure

couldn't be bothered to finish the word there cos im so bored with the evil b******s behind the plan

oh of course Caroline because she's part of the block vote doesn't need to thin k about what she says before saying it does she

an d of course Caroline wouldn't know that it could have been racist

the amount of excuses and the lengths some people will go to to

cover over the obvious tactic of BB to help the bullies pick on the good

and help evil filth like them succeed is incredible

I s that a deliberate joke because vyour name is stupidhoe

likening him to a lower species is racist

joeysteele 28-06-2012 11:11 PM

She doesn't really care much for him she did use the word and she got a warning, I don't think she in any way meant it nastily though.

King Gizzard 28-06-2012 11:13 PM

Emily could of easily been covered up..they just wanted to make an example..it was horrible to hang her up like that for just making a jokey comment

No it isn't, she does it all the time, she did it to chris, becky,luke A and now adam.
She tried her best to turn it around and play the victim during her 'apology' however I don't think it worked thank god.
I can't wait for that smirk to be wiped of her smug face, really hope she is nommed this week.

Disagree. If she called him a rhino or a polar bear, I doubt we'd be having this conversation. It's controversial because of the specific animal she used, which has historically been associated with a racial slur. If someone called Beckie a whale for example, I don't think the initial reaction would be that it's racist.

Now, whether she said it with intent, knowing it was a racial, is up for debate. The people who don't like Caroline will of course say it was a racial remark, while her supporters will say it was a poor choice of words. The reality though, is that only she knows.

swinearefine 28-06-2012 11:41 PM

I haven't seen this yet, but I can't believe she got a formal warning when Conor didn't. I have called people gorillas before, if they were big and smelly or something, and I would hate to be accused of being racist if any of those people just happened to be black. She should have been told it could be taken the wrong way and given her a chance to explain, but a formal warning is just ridiculous.

flamingGalah! 28-06-2012 11:53 PM

She is an absolute disgrace! I bet she wouldn't have used the word 'Gorilla' if he was white :nono:

I think she knew exactly what she was saying & her "apology" to Adam, where she basically lied & said she did like him, then turned it all round onto her once being bullied (WTF?!), was so fake.. The pretend tears that she was drying at the end, as she smirked into the mirror, proved this...

Glad to see that Adam wasn't fooled by the horrid little witch though!
