I don't they were just examples.. i just wondered why single out Arabs although i dont know many of them either... isn't one of the people on the Apprentice Arabian?
Yes, I think Yasmina is Arab.

So how comes the Apprentice have Arabs but not Big Brother?

Is it a counscious decision by Channel 4 to do this?

Oh cool. We have a concrete answer.

Thanks a lot. I think it means we've had 3 arabs in the Big Brother house. That's not bad.

But everyone has a personality.

Why should someone have to be a loud-mouth like Alexandra or Bex to get into the house?

Isn't this the big flaw of BIg Brother: they put in weird housemates instead of normal people that us viewers can relate to.

How can you say a person like Carol, Tracey, Belinda were worthy of a shot in the house?

They were terrible housemates. Absolutely awful.

As far as I know, these are Arabs I have seen in the bb house.

Ahmed (BB5)
Kemal BB6
Mohamed (BB9) Somalians are mixed, so some arab.
And Maysoon BB9

Its probably more difficult or the producers to find arab housemates, because muslims tend to avoid places where there is free flow of alcohol, and likely a lot of nudity. SO its not surprising that its rare. It has more to do with the Arabs not willing to go in such a program, than BB not wanting them in!

Remember how sel conscious Maysoon was, and I am sure part of the reason she left was her family.

There's quite a lot of Arabs in our country, so why have the producers not chosen any?

Maybe the've never auditioned.

Oh c'mon. Just because there haven't been that many Arabic housemates, doesn't mean the producers have some sort of vendetta against the nation. There are many different nationalties living in Britain, and most of them have never been on, so why single out Arabs? The producers don't choose people according to their race, but by their entertainment value. By trying to make BB seem racist, you're looking racist yourself, dear.
