Is Tiffany being ostracized for being American?
 

I'll post my thoughts later.

It's because she is black. Simple as that.

Yes

She's black, American and female. Three sins in Big Brother.

She is

Being the only American left makes her an easy nomination target. The Hm's seems to assume that even if they act like arseholes just cuz they're British the public wont mind. I hope TIff makes the final, the nominations for her have been very tactical throughout the series.

I think it's part of it, I think most of them make very little effort with her such and there seems to be two cliques now and she and Gemma seem out of the loop

I do think her nature may play a part, she's pretty unpredictable and doesn't hold her tongue and that won't sit well with some people.

Yeah but the same could be said of Steph and Megan in all fairness

Partly.

She didn't get off to a good start with them all either with all the I am HBIC rubbish and then the David thing not too soon afterwards so I do genuinely think the others have bonded with each other more because of that.

Unfortunately, I think it will be the same until the end now. Gemma and John not nominating her though :clap2:

she just does things different - that's why shes not fitting in.

She is being ostracized for behaving like gobby brat. Her reaction to nominations was pathetic behaviour.

She's being ostracized for being the biggest foreign threat.

Them racist bastards. All that **** talking about Gemma not many of them nominated her. What exactly has Tiffany done. Megan blew up like a volcano the other day that's alright is it

I don't think it's so much a matter of race or gender, more cultural in that you have a group of mainly rather stupid, hystertical British people who can relate to each other on some level more easily than they can Tiffany, who is not the most likeable person in many respects either.

English housemates have on the whole been massively bigoted against the americans for many years. tiff is a twat, but shes an easy target now being the only american

The housemates were o.k. with the other Americans.

No. People nominate their least favourite people (usually I'm sure even Tiff would admit she's made few friends in the house.

I think it's definitely a big part in it, but I generally feel like they don't really try to connect with her, and use her as a scapegoat to make the nominations process easier for themselves to endure

Yes and that's probably why no one nominated Christopher because he's British.


Good call!

It doesn't matter about the colour of her skin, she really showed herself up tonight being obnoxious and rude to the people who nominated her, not listening to their reasons. telling them not to look at her. I liked her now I am FED UP of her. Her and Gemma are the two biggest divas and bitches in the house.

The nominations face to face were difficult for everyone and not one other housemate treated the nominators like she did.

No for being a disgracefull bully

Or perhaps its just cause shes a boring talentless nobody who just huffs around throwing tantrums whenever any comment is made about her :sleep:

She's the nation's sweetheart, so.

yes...but they all do that?

No nobody takes it anywhere near as personally as her except Steph and everyone dislikes her equally

She kicked off at the first nomination nobody else did. She has a massively inflated opinion of herself and thought shed be a big deal and she isnt unfortunately she then ostracized herself remember 'i hate all these people in here they aint from where im from' (or words to that effect when speaking to Jonathan) well thats grand, clearly they aren't keen on her either.

Its clear she dislikes most of them and is just acting to survive and they all pick up on it. Its why she blows up when nominated cause it annoys her it was all for nothing (all the ass kissing)

Then she huffs off and isolates herself like child and nobody cares...

A load of bullcrap. Being American has nothing to do with it.

maybe they are to polite to tell her that it's her stinky minge that's off putting.

the core clique don't want to nom themselves for the most part so shes an easy nom, the whoe "ive bonded with others more" is a bit of a cop out

Seriously? 'Pulling the racist card out'?

Some people need to catch themselves on and eat a large bowl of LOL's.

A) She's childish.

B) She's a loud mouth who you'd only want to spend five minutes in a room with, let alone Big Brother.

Definitely. Even the tea and coffee thing showed the cultural differences of American vs. British culture. In America, making tea for somebody isn't even a gesture of anything.
It's like, if you're making tea, you'll ask if someone wants some too, or something, but as Gemma was explaining how it's seen as a really polite thing to do, Tiffany was rightfully confused because in America people usually make coffee/tea in the morning or get it on their way to work. There's no social protocol to it.
Also, I think it's unfair that half of them knew each other in some capacity prior to the show.

The problem here is the other Americans suffered no such 'problems' with protocol, even Jonathan whom by any stretch inhabits a weird celebrity world fitted in rather well.

Her issue was she came in proclaiming to them all what a big deal and massive diva she was then wondered why nobody wanted to be close to her, once she realised the show was about survival by fitting in it was to late she had burned her bridges hence why she is now GCs bitch cause she thought that would be her best chance at avoiding noms.

being american & being black has nothing to do with it. she didnt actually get that many noms for any form of bias to be considered. acting the way she did though during noms will ensure she is a target if there is a next time

Tbh i've gone off her.She does'nt seem to have a sense of humour.Always so serious.She could smile abit more and have a laugh and try and fit in.I think being American is maybe a small part of it,The humour and values are a little different.

She's been volatile, unpredictable and explosive from day one...she decided at the start she had nothing in common with anyone...her words not theirs...she f-cked up big time when Bowie died then just as people were starting to forget her uncontrollable temper she kicked off all over again in the puppets task....can't imagine that everyone in the house is racist, that would be highly unlikely....but I'm sure everyone in the house is uncomfortable with psycho behaviour ....as for American, it didn't hamper Jonathon, Angie or David....in fact Jonathon and David were liked by everyone ....

She's aggressive and confrontational, therefore the housemates want her out.That's not the reason they give when nominating her to her face because........she's aggressive and confrontational.

It's as simple as that.

None of the people who cry about racism seemed too concerned about ageism when Angie was monumentally ridiculed on here or concerned about a homophobia when Winston behaved like a prick ....so you'll have to excuse me if I don't give a sh-t about peoples unfounded claims of racism ......you can't only fight for human rights if it only affects you...makes your voice irrelevant

GENIUS !!!

tiffany is a twat. but theyre all twats. shes being picked on for 2 reasons 1) shes a twat and 2) shes American and theyre anti American when it comes down the it. her blackness is nothing to do with anything

No....Megan is equally as dumb and unpleasant....it's not either/ or...they're both so silly bitches ...

I think Tiff has always had a chip on her shoulder anyway, and now all the other Americans have gone, she feels like the odd one out. She didn't do herself any favours tonight, but I can kind of see where she is coming from if she was already feeling vulnerable when it was announced that the noms were starting. She isn't one to hold back and just take it, so off she went...:rant:
