Will American celebs bother with CBB in future?
 

It's obvious to me there is a massive bias against American housemates - I doubt Ch 5 will be able to attract any big names from across the pond in future when the likes of the gobby, attention seeking, alcoholic depressive Denise can win. She's an even worse winner than Alex Reid and that's saying something:bored:

Both American housemates made it to the final, even after michael was up for eviction 3 (?) times

yes, total bias against them :|

Well Neil Patrick Harris wants to do it :wink:

Not that he will, but he wanted to xD.

They shouldn't but they will. It doesn't matter anyway. As long as they're entertaining.

If they're desperate enough and the price is right, sure. The price will really go up now that it's quite clear there's a bias against them.

A few people here act like they should win it because they are americans its pathetic they didnt win and didnt deserve to get over it.

I think the best housemate should win, regardless of their nationality and tbh some of the truly xenophobic posts I've read here tonight are really disappointing.

This is a fair point. There are a lot of xenophobic people in the UK who discriminate against housemates for their nationalities. They are responsible for how it all turned out tonight. Bet the BNP are pleased too that an American hasn't won the show.

Why is thread allowed to stay open yet mine was closed????

I think so. both of the american housemates made the final and survived several evictions!

This BB seems a really "British winner for a British show" mentality, it's ridiculous.

Why are all the xenophobia threads being closed? Bit pathetic...people are entitled to their opinion. Closing the threads only adds fuel to the fire or however the saying goes...

it does not matter who win it how much you get paid

I don't think it's been bias at all.

It is possible that some people just don't like Michael or the twins.

Other Americans have been in the show and not won, yet they still manage to find get some in this series.

The comments on Facebook prove that there are a lot of xenophobic people in the UK who will never allow an American housemate to win this show.

I hope so, they've given some great housemates over the years. I dunno, I feel this series we have seen anti-Americanism on a larger scaled, I don't seem to remember it being present against Coolio, Stephen Baldwin etc. but now it seems their nationality is something to be held against them

Yes, I don't think they'd even do one ounce of research into what's happened before

I don't know face book, I'm just going on what I see on here.

However that just sounds daft, but I can't really comment because I don't read what's on face book.

If housemates are entertaining then I don't mind where they're from. I wouldn't say "no more Irish or Welsh housemates" because Gareth and Georgia were boring. I wouldn't like people from other countries to not want to get involved because of the xenophobia from the public during this series though.

yes exactly. People should be treated as individuals, nationality shouldn't even come into it.

It's just the new facebook culture. It's probably always been like this, we've just never had chance to see it cause social media and peoples views were never heard except the few comments the producers let to air on BBBM/BBLB etc

Xenophobia is huge here. But the main problem is, a lot of you people dont want to accept it. i have been making the point here forever, but some of you are quick to brush it under the carpet, because no way are the uk people like that right? . When you accept that its there, you can make progress. Americans also have their issues with it, but they dont try to brush it off, because its embarrassing.

But after, this series, pretty hard to pretend it doesnt exist. Because even after some of what I have seen in the past, I have been TRUlly shocked with stuff Ive read tonight. I couldnt really comment BEing quite speechless.

i don't no what all the fuss is about you don't have to be British to vote

The racism (and yes in my eyes it is total racism) towards the americans we have seen on this show both by the housemates and also on some of the discussions on BOTS I could see less of them willing to come over to be on the show.

The ironic thing about all of it is that these xenophobic ***** are not welcome in this country. We are a multicultural society and anybody that opposes that or thinks it is acceptable to discriminate against anyone for any reason whatsoever can **** right off.
