the fact that she discussed it for such a long time suggests that she was offended and chose not to react which shows great strength of character, me personally I would have been very upset and would have made my feelings very clear at the time possible leading to me being ejected as well

To me, she was clearly offended by it and she clearly used it to her advantage, keeping the subject going all day long, and I think she's perfectly entitled to do that. If someone is offended in the Big Brother house, they can make as big a deal of it as they choose.

Charley is now playing the victim card and is going to milk this. And has totally changed what she has said now she knows how things are.

Charley played it brilliantly there. We all know what Emily said was wrong but theres no need to go saying one thing and then change it to get sympathy from her other housemates, then again though it could help her quite a bit when nominations come around next week.

Yes, I think she was. For her own and Emily's good Charley really shouldn't have made out that it didn't bother her.

I do agree that Charley will manipulate and use this to her advantage as and when possible. I wonder if it is a turning point for her!

Anyone who thinks she wasn't offended needs to go on youtube and watch it back, she clearly was!

one of the first things she said was "i cant believe you said that" "that is a bit racist" when nicky offered her a cigarette she said "i think ill need it" several times she said "i cant get over what u just said"

I can't believe some of the comments on this thread. People who think that Charley played this. I'm disgusted to read comments like that. Let me tell you, in issues of race there is no playing. Some black people I know would have started screaming and shouting at Emily before she even finished speaking, The way I read it was that Charley could not get it out of her mind because whe too probably has relatives who would have made this into a major row. I think Charley knew the gravity of this and anyone who doesn't feel so does not know how offensive this word is to many black people. In the house I grew up in my mother used the word all the time but, my father never used it. Even in the black community and amongst some black people this word is a total no no. Understand that. Rappers may use the word but Oprah Winfrey has openly said that she never uses the word. The moment Charly heard that word she knew Emily was in big trouble. There is no way she was thinking of using this incident to her advantage.

you realise you have the Wu Tang Clan as your sig right?

firstly Charley admitted to using the word herself...not only that....but said "I am a N" yes a lot of black people are offended by the use of that word....as are most white people.

but you cannot defend rappers for using it and condemn someone else...Should Eminem and 50cent stop making money out of the use of that word? probably...but it'll never happen

and as for Charley at the time she was shocked.......but not upset by it....if she was she strikes me as the type of girl not to brush it off the way she did......and yes she is milking it, at first I was giving her a chance, maybe she wasn't.....but the simple fact that she at certain points was trying to make out that Emily must be a racist because she said that word.....

of course none of us are ever going to agree on this matter, so it's probably best that we agree to disagree rather than argue about it

so in short initially no she wasn't offended, after thought probably thinking should I be offended.....final thought.....yes I should...think of the headlines......(she even said that much)

and I hope I haven't offended you, you seem like an intelligent person, we just differ in opinion.

I think she tried to cover up the fact she was offended, it still haunts her about how easily it came out of Emilys mouth.

My verdict is she was shocked and offended. Well done Channel 4.
