The Irish are misrepresented on Big Brother.
I'm noticing a worrying pattern here the last 2 years on the executive's choice of Irish housemates. Not really any point in voicing my opinion because Big Brother isn't coming back next year, but anyway!
Last year it was Noirin, the backstabbing mynx who everyone hated. This year it's Caoimhe, the annoying, boring, bitchy gob****e - again who everyone hated. I just think it's unfair to have these 2 morons be a representation of the Irish on a show like this because it's not an accurate portrayal of what our country is actually like? It annoys me :P |
Dont forget Spiral BB7 :laugh:

Just be grateful you're not scottish!

I dont think you need to worry too much about it, most people who watch BB realise that most housemates are not in anyway representative of their country of origin, religious beliefs or sexual persuasion. I dont think people would for example believe that Lisa and Shabby accurately represent the Lesbian community.
Or then again maybe some do, however in that case I wouldnt put too much store in people who stereotype a nation or any form of demographic group because of some exhibits on a freak show. |

It's only cos there is usually only one Irish contestant in it that everyone focuses on the nationality. I mean most of the other HMs are English and idiots but no one says God the English are terrible because of it!
We had some normal(ish) Irish HMs in the past like Brian Dowling(legend) and Tom and Ray were grand too |

I think the clinic did Nathan at the same time, two for one offer. |
Noirin = Star of BB10 and Best Housemate EVER

Individuals are put in, who just happen to be from places or a social minority, but are only representing themselves. It's not BBs job to care about how individuals make others think of their country or minority tbh. |
It seems to me to be the Irish who focus on whether someone is Irish or not on the show.

and all the people they have put in from the UK have been soooo nice lol. |

But the fact that non Irish people choose to put "Irish" in front descriptive words about those HMs doesn't help matters either, eg. The Irish bitch, The Irish ***** etc etc |

I think it's better than having Irish people who are saints. I find that very partronizing
