Hi GiRTh,

The quote:- "There was a lot to cover" was out of a paragraph.

I would never just say that! All the info to that quote, will be within the paragraph from which it was taken.

Everything else should be self explanatory.

What style of writing? Am I mimicking??

I don't cut & paste, unless it's from an article in a Newspaper.

It would be impossible to do this, as I don't know what question I am going to be asked.

It's not my style and never has been.

You say, "Racial-Undertones?" I would say that it is "Racial-Overtones", not that important really!! (The wording, that is)

I am not interested in debating racism on a separate thread really. It is more interesting and vital too, to debate CBB Jan. and what happened in there and the aftermath of the show.

This is no longer a game. It is real life and these three girl's need real help and real understanding.

You ask me:- "Why do you think that racist and sexist remarks should be bird-whistled out?"

The answer is simple,

If Endemol's editors have watched a segment of the show, where a couple of housemates are saying offensive remarks in a conversation, which would probably be heated, or, behind that person's back.

Then, it would be a very clear and consise decision by the editors, to decide which words and comments need editing out.

There are other factors to consider too:-

1) Are these words or comments within a private & personal conversation between two housemates, whereby, they may be talking about somebody who is not a house-mate, but is just their opinion, in the form of "gossip".

These comments cannot be proven necassarily, but, it is not something that Big Brother really wants to make public.

It is better to edit it all out.

If, during that conversation, a racial or sexual sounding remark was there, then it would be a prudent judgement to remove that remark, within that particular conversation.

2) The words or comments may be right in the middle of a big fall-out, just like with the Shilpa vs the three girl's incident.
If these words or comments, were within this big fall-out, then it may be deemed a good judgement call, to keep certain parts or words in, for all of us to see and hear?

I don't believe that is a good decision, with the Shilpa vs the girls incident, as it has caused such concern and offence.

But, I am not the one, making those judgement calls.

3) The words or comments are within a big argument, just like the Jade-Goody vs Shilpa argument, where Jo & Danielle were all instrumental in.

Within this case, once again, it would be better to look at each and every word and if there was something really bad, then it is a prudent decision for the editors to make in that circumstance, and edit-out.

Profits & ratings could rise, but keeping the argument interesting.

Davina McCall said that the argument was un-cut.

I would have still prefered more editing, especially where tempers were flaring and words could have been birdwistled for a less offensive view of the argument.

4) The words or comments are totally on there own and not part of anything, just in the spare of the moment.

Definate editing out and perhaps a warning in the Diary Room, or total expulsion from the BB house.

The Endemol editors are the police in the house and have to make the right judgement call at the right time.

You ask me:- "Why should the show protect them, if they act foolish?"

It comes down to (how foolish) and other stuff, which you already know


All the best, nodisharmony

Acres of waffle repeating the same old tired trite and pathetic argument, just an apologist for a racist lowlife

If I ever wanted to know what gibberish a chimp let loose with a typewriter would produce, I have just been saved the cost of hiring the chimp and getting a new ribbon for my old typewriter. Thank heaven for small mercies.
