No. People nominate their least favourite people (usually I'm sure even Tiff would admit she's made few friends in the house.

[Heaven = Winner]

I think it's definitely a big part in it, but I generally feel like they don't really try to connect with her, and use her as a scapegoat to make the nominations process easier for themselves to endure

[Visage]

Yes and that's probably why no one nominated Christopher because he's British.


Good call!

The nominations face to face were difficult for everyone and not one other housemate treated the nominators like she did.

[Crimson Dynamo]

No for being a disgracefull bully

[letmein]

She's the nation's sweetheart, so.

[Jarvio]

A load of bullcrap. Being American has nothing to do with it.

[Beso]

maybe they are to polite to tell her that it's her stinky minge that's off putting.

[wendywillow]

the core clique don't want to nom themselves for the most part so shes an easy nom, the whoe "ive bonded with others more" is a bit of a cop out

[arney]

Seriously? 'Pulling the racist card out'?

Some people need to catch themselves on and eat a large bowl of LOL's.

A) She's childish.

B) She's a loud mouth who you'd only want to spend five minutes in a room with, let alone Big Brother.

Definitely. Even the tea and coffee thing showed the cultural differences of American vs. British culture. In America, making tea for somebody isn't even a gesture of anything.
It's like, if you're making tea, you'll ask if someone wants some too, or something, but as Gemma was explaining how it's seen as a really polite thing to do, Tiffany was rightfully confused because in America people usually make coffee/tea in the morning or get it on their way to work. There's no social protocol to it.
Also, I think it's unfair that half of them knew each other in some capacity prior to the show.

The problem here is the other Americans suffered no such 'problems' with protocol, even Jonathan whom by any stretch inhabits a weird celebrity world fitted in rather well.

Her issue was she came in proclaiming to them all what a big deal and massive diva she was then wondered why nobody wanted to be close to her, once she realised the show was about survival by fitting in it was to late she had burned her bridges hence why she is now GCs bitch cause she thought that would be her best chance at avoiding noms.

[tanussa]

being american & being black has nothing to do with it. she didnt actually get that many noms for any form of bias to be considered. acting the way she did though during noms will ensure she is a target if there is a next time

[Northern Monkey]

Tbh i've gone off her.She does'nt seem to have a sense of humour.Always so serious.She could smile abit more and have a laugh and try and fit in.I think being American is maybe a small part of it,The humour and values are a little different.

[hot2go]

She's been volatile, unpredictable and explosive from day one...she decided at the start she had nothing in common with anyone...her words not theirs...she f-cked up big time when Bowie died then just as people were starting to forget her uncontrollable temper she kicked off all over again in the puppets task....can't imagine that everyone in the house is racist, that would be highly unlikely....but I'm sure everyone in the house is uncomfortable with psycho behaviour ....as for American, it didn't hamper Jonathon, Angie or David....in fact Jonathon and David were liked by everyone ....

..yeah, it didn't bother them to the point that they've all left without being evicted.....THAT'S HOW MUCH THAT IT HASN'T BOTHERED THEM.....seriously though, I know that David and Angie are ill and sleep deprived etc...but stress weakens the body and makes it more susceptible/vulnerable, so that may have been a big factor there as well, to them feeling so unwell...

[Ammi]

..I mean at one point, David died through it all/the stress...

David and Angie are old. Old = more likely to fall ill.

Jonathan is the only one you may have a point on.

[Stevep]

She's aggressive and confrontational, therefore the housemates want her out.That's not the reason they give when nominating her to her face because........she's aggressive and confrontational.

It's as simple as that.

GENIUS !!!

[hot2go]

None of the people who cry about racism seemed too concerned about ageism when Angie was monumentally ridiculed on here or concerned about a homophobia when Winston behaved like a prick ....so you'll have to excuse me if I don't give a sh-t about peoples unfounded claims of racism ......you can't only fight for human rights if it only affects you...makes your voice irrelevant

...but isn't that what you then are doing, dismissing racism but 'fighting for something else'..?...I don't know what you mean by the ageist thing but there have been many offensive things on the forum/said on the forum if that's what you're referring to...some pretty awful things about Gemma for instance, nothing to do with her personality..(and Lord knows there's plenty to criticise there but very personal and totally irrelevant things to her being a housemate, the 'designer vagina' thing and some really OTT and quite offensive stuff...)...and 'slut shaming' as well, in how Megan and Steph have been judged, compared to male housemates....so ageist/sexist/racist/homophobia etc..they're all wrong, very wrong...but even more wrong (in my opinion..)..if one is dismissed because another hasn't got the same attention...

[Ammi]

..anyways, I don't know if it's a racist thing but it's interesting as to many reasons given to why she was nominated...'we don't connect, sorry Tiffany'...well why don't they connect, other housemates have acted pretty grim and yet there's the connection there, is that what you're saying..?...I do think that there is a difference between American and UK housemates so they just 'don't get each other' ...a UK housemate can scream the house down and behave awfully but they understand that, they've seen it all before..they're not quite so 'intimidated'' by it but with an American housemate..?...well, oooo, she scares me....(even though her reactions to things haven't been as awful as some..)...so yeah, I do think that she's at a disadvantage in the house and made some very valid points, maybe not in the best way, but then how many housemates ever do..?...but those points still shouldn't be dismissed just because of how they are made ....

...tbh, (I think as well..)...that she's nominated because many of them think that the voters will chose a UK housemate over an American one, being more familiar with seeing them on their screens etc...so an easy target really...

[chuff me dizzy]

Tiffany has brought it ALL on herself
