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!

Em, can I ask why?

no.

K.

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.

ray was great

LOL - heada - think of another Scottish representative called Karly - I don't even want to put her picture up..............she lives 3 doors from my auntie

What about us northerners ?

Corin and Nathan ?? Dear me, I'm embarrassed

Spirol's rapping/singing was classic!

Corin did have a frontal labotomy before she went in tho disco? Thats why se's so retarted and can only say "I love it, I absolutely love it"

Don't llok down on the disadvantaged :joker:

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

:joker:

I think the clinic did Nathan at the same time, two for one offer.

Noirin = Star of BB10 and Best Housemate EVER

No country or social group is 'represented' on BB.

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.

Its true, channel4 are racist against the Irish.

yes, your right. BB made all those Irish people look like wankers. They didnt do that on their own at all.

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

sometimes yes I agree, only cos we want to like the person as they're from our country and then mostly we end up disappointed:bawling:

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

Rubbish. Every country has idiots in it. Big Brother looks for that

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

Yeah, but when it's just the token Irish person on the show each year, and usually they're complete and utter idiots I think it's right to cringe and vent a little at Big Brother's woeful selections.
