I can't believe big brother jumped on coolio so hard for doing a little prank...sam was hiding corins makeup and hair...and big brother seemed to encourage him.
But big brother seemed to encourage coolio to leave

[Julie10]

Sam was a non threatening 21 year old. Coolio is 47 and some people in the house found him threatening.

[Ramsay]

cus coolio is black
OHH NO I DIDNT!!!

[PaulyJ]

Bottom line Hm's we're scared of Coolio, not so much Sam. Although i'd agree Sam did the same thing to Corin minus the aggression though.

But they knew he was black when they put him in.

[GiRTh]

Sam did it for three days. Yet nothing happened.

Where are we getting that the HM's were afraid of Coolio?

[luminoussun]

wait a second...coolio was not threatening at all in the row with nadia he just stood taking a barage of verbal aggresion...nadia was rude and aggresive on last nights show towards him too.
I somethimes believe people mistake the ways of black people and attitude for aggresion when its just the street manner...coolio is joking 90% of the time

Hm's were sat on the sofa, watching him blow up and making threats of further blow ups, watching Nikki and Nadia getting upset, and not one of them said a word, not even to calm the situation down. That suggests fear to me.

nikki was screaming like a banchee at a clown...she is a fragile flower...until she loses her temper then out comes incredible hulks sister

[Melanie20]

Black men are perceived as far more threatening than white guys, this has been the same since BB began until now. Coolio got heat for a little joke and if he had done half of what JJ did he'd be called a threatning, aggressive thug. Totally unfair.

[Jords]

Coolio was much more intimidating.

I dont think he meant harm but he was stupid to pick a prank on somebody he didnt get on with as a way to say 'sorry'.

You're reaching for something....anything. Did BB step in?

[muchadoaboutnothing]

It is because Corin showed dignity (something that Nadia has never had) and rose above the pranks played on her by Sam. Nadia never liked Coolio (and neither does Nikki) so anything to make him look bad. I thought Coolio was very dignified in the DR. I didn't like him at the beginning of UBB but he has won me over.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. Coolio didnt shout any one down for looking at him funny and, to the best of my knowledge, didn't claim any of the girls were prostitutes then brag about it.

It suggest No Bo***cks to me

[Foebane100]

Err Coolio walked because he didn't want Nadia to.
I just think he couldn't be bothered with all the crap off everyone.

[InOne]

Coolio was a boring old man who has to intimidate people cos he gets 'bored'. He wasn't gonna change, he deserved to go.

Ulrika has said it, Brian, Nikki, Nadia. Uncomfortable, afraid whatever. The thing is I find there judgemental up there arse attitude more frightening than Coolio. And I didn't like Coolio.

But the Attitude your speaking of (i.e Coolio's Attitude) is by design aggressive. Which is what has made Rap music the biggest money spinner in the music industry. Rappers use aggressive lyrics, posturing, and visuals to sell there music.

There is also the fact that some Rappers, and maybe, i don't know Coolio was forced to be aggressive to solve conflicts whilst growing up and it is a way of life now.

He is aggressive in confrontations.

Just to widen the discussion if i may. Black people have few Role Models when growing up, Rappers i would say are the main role models and so just as 2 + 2 = 4, Black people that lack other Role Models become aggressive in confrontations.

I don't think anyone is saying Coolio was aggressive all the time, just when envolved in arguments.

I found it interesting when he said, "I was hiding her shoes as an iceBreaker and a way to apologize, but nothing i did worked". That kind of suggests he has never been able to simply apologize like most of us would.

No it does not suggest fear its called not getting involved in others disagreement.

The concept of Corin being more dignified than anyone is difficult to get my head around but I think you're right. Corin calmly protested about the way Sam was treating her and it was dealt with amicably Nadia shouts and screams like a hysterical lunatic and suddenly we have an incident that results in a heavily edited HL show with most of us not knowing what really went on.

GET HER OUT!!!!!!!
