I absolutely hate CBB5 and have never had any desire to rewatch a single second of it for the simple fact of how uncomfortable it made me feel seeing them all ganging up against Shilpa. Regardless of their differences, she was treated horrendously.
I remember I had to switch live feed off one night because I found it very upsetting when Jade and (I think) Danielle and Cleo had sat Shilpa down one late night in the kitchen and reduced her to tears because they were treating her as though she'd done something to bring it all on herself. There's a lot of grey areas when it comes to racism but she was most definitely bullied, and that's the classic trait making the victim think it's all their own fault.
Every one refers to it as the Jade vs Shilpa incident but it was actually Shilpa pitted against 4 or 5 very nasty people.

Yeah, absolutely agree, I think Jade got most of the blame because, as you said, she was most vocally aggressive.
