I think what happened with Emily was a knee-jerk reaction on the back of the CBB racism row. The CBB stuff was made a national incident and Channel 4 didn't want the same thing happening again if they'd kept Emily in or given her a formal warning as opposed to ejecting her from the house.

With Charley saying what she did about Gerry, maybe they felt that her comments only affected and offended Gerry rather than the outside world and Big Brother felt it necessary for the incident to be sorted out among themselves. Having said that, I'm surprised Charley has lasted as long as what she has in the house with her volatile nature and the way she's turned on nearly all of the housemates, and after the Fake Eviction it seems she has more issues with a lot of them now after finding out who nominated her and what they said.
