First of all I think this is the biggest load of sh** I have ever seen. How sad, that humans can get offended by one word... how weak we really are. This is childish behaviour, and it reminds me of the school playground. "Miss, someone called me stupid". We are grown ups now, we should act more mature but we don't, we act like children. What happened to the saying we all teach our kids? "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?"... really.

I agree it's ridiculous.

YOu can be offensive by saying "Go and have intercourse with your mother!" yet if you say "****! I've bacnged my elbow!" then that is considered bad and get's censored.

Emily knew the rules and she broke them, thats clear. It's also clear that she didn't mean this to happen but what's done is done. I don't agree that she should of been booted from the house, Channel Four did this because it would be far easier than dealing with legal issues like last time. A warning in my opinion would of been more appropriate.

Big Brother is more to blame than Emily. Why on earth did Big Brother show this? 24 hour a day video and they selected this clip to put on the main show for the world to see. I expected Channel Four to handle it better than this. I am sure some people watched the live recordings when Emily said the N word but it wouldn't of caused much trouble because the majority of BB fans wouldn't of seen it. A few complaints wouldn't of harmed anyone.

Indeed. but Endemol won't miss a chance of mationwide publicity. By making the most of it and kicking EMily out they both get publicity to bnoost the ratings and are shown to be 'good eggs' by acting responsibly.

It's all about £££££££££££££ that's all. Otherwise it was nothing.

Charlie didn't take offense to the word when it was said but she didn't help the issue either by keep going on about it all day. I feel that she wanted it to become a bigger issue than it should of been... and it worked. I believe if Charlie said what she said when the N word was spoken by Emily and then left it as that, nothing would of happened but she had to keep going on about it, she made it a big deal.

Charley makes everythig a big deal.

Like a viewer said on Big Brother's Big Mouth, Chris Moyles says what some will consider abusive behavior to homosexuals almost everyday on Radio to millions of viewers, why isn't this stopped?. We got black and white rappers using the N word in music all the time, why isn't this stopped?. I have some friends who use the term towards white and black people. It's not right that it is allowed to be used in some situations but not others.

Again this is a big deal because of publicity £££££££££££££. The whle Jade-Shilpa thing was a publicity stunt.

Big Brother is a multi-million ££ business. Things happen for ££££. There is no such thing as reality TV. It's important to remember this while we are being entertained.
