The Chicken
 

So I just watched it again because I couldn't really remember hearing about chicken, and this is what was said as accurately as I can.

Christopher comes and asks if they can all gather so that Tiffany can talk to the group.

John says I don't really want to talk to her right now, she only wants to come in because she's starving and we'll be cooking dinner in a minute and she wants her plate of chicken.

It was said in a matter of fact way, not with any sneers or seeming inuendo.

Christopher says well ok then I'll tell her.

I don't think it was said in a racist way, it sounded just like chicken is what they were cooking for dinner. :shrug:

I agree,seems everything John does will now is jumped on,I wonder if it's because he was fave to win.

:clap1:

OK yeah, if this is how it happened then no way was it racist.

I didn't even hear anything about chicken :laugh:

You say that like he didn't just tell another HM that everyones hates her and she should leave the house :laugh:

Me neither

TBH it was said so normally that it's easy to miss it, one of the reasons why I don't think it was meant in an offensive way, no one else batted an eyelid or gasped or looked shocked or anything.

I agree, to me they were having chicken for dinner, and John was possibly referring to the fact that she wanted to sort things out because she was hungry and wanted her dinner which happened to be chicken, he said it in a way that referred to her just taking what she wants and leaving....that's how i took it anyway.

If it is made clear that dinner was actually chicken then I believe he's innocent.
Until then I believe he slipped a slur deliberately.

Same, I only heard the dinner comment

He was fave to win?

Anyway I think 99% of the hate he is getting is due to him being a sneery, domineering sly arsehole of a man.

..thank you for that Jaxie..:love:..I hadn't caught that he said that when I watched it...it would be interesting to see the bit we didn't see, how it changed from Christopher going out to tell her, to John going instead...

..yeah, that would probably sum it up nicely for me I think...

I am so glad people are attacking John's character for this because I hate him! I mentioned it on DailyMail earlier and it got over 250 upvotes, oop! Get CLOCKED John (and while you're at it, seriously brush them teeth)

Why did the chicken cross the road?

:laugh2:
