The comments only got worse from then on, accusations left right and centre of American viewers rigging the votes by using false IP addresses. People could not stomach the thought of a British person voting to save the Americans. It was utterly uncomprehensible that a person of British nationality would vote for an American.

So true and I can only see it getting worse from now on sadly. There are way too many narrow minded people in the UK who hold the view that only a British housemate should win.

Agreed. BOTS last night & the night before just convinced that there is something horribly wrong with this country. There was a bit where Emma Willis was interviewing Tricia Penrose (Denise's friend) and she blamed all of her friend's problems on Michael & the twins. And then at one point Pete Burns (eurrgh) just simply said 'Get the Yanks out!' to which every one in the crowd just cheered and applauded as if he were defending Britain from mass invasion. It was truly horrible.

The way Pete burns turned on a dime really pissed me off because it you look a few night before he was loving the twins saying they were amazing serious business women and that they took no crap from anyone. Suddenly a brit gets shouted at and its get the yanks out!

Total bloody sheep, he didn't want to look unpatriotic so he changed his tune to please the audience and general public sentiment. Have some balls and stick to your conviction.

Didnt see that. How effing disgraceful.

Pete Burns... a walking barbie. Poor little thing. He's got to stay relevant somehow. Seen as the dregs of society go on that show he's right at home.

Yep the way Tricia and Pete were slagging off the Americans was disgusting. Shouldn't have been allowed to be aired. It's funny that Pete was defending the twins for most of the series but as soon as Tricia Penrose comes on and starts saying that Americans don't get our sense of humour, shouldn't be allowed on the show etc. Pete sided with her. It's the whole "she's one of us" attitude again. None of the BOTS audience seemed to disagree either which is even more worrying. Xenophobia, in particular on reality TV shows is a growing problem in the UK and it's not taken seriously.
