No one is talking about winners (except for yourself) more the fact that when ever a minority is put up for eviction they usually go first just as my OP outlines

Perhaps it is because, as mentioned earlier, BB producers tend to cast particular types of minorities.

Exactly, I mean if Adjoa was an average looking white girl who was talking about pussy, and then you had pretty girl Sarah, and weird, attention seeking, argumentative during that week Eileen, I bet that Adjoa would've got the least votes to be evicted, especially considering she could be funny.

Let's deal in facts and not make up things that we don't know how they'd have been.

But looking at those 3 housemates, Eileen and Sarah (whether you liked them or not) showed personality and offered something beyond a catchphrase.

Literally the only thing I remember of her is that she liked pussy. Immature woman who thought sex talk made her interesting is dime a dozen in BB.

If screen time was the issue with that then the ever-crappy editing is to blame and not the supposed racist viewers.

Nobody's said it "belongs" to anyone, but the facts are that black people are still a minority in this country so expecting their statistics to tally up with white people in a show which casts a very small selection of people per year is ridiculous.

But the statistics should have more of an even spread not just a sea of black people going week 1, 2 and 3

But it doesn't.

As someone else said, when it comes to the casting of black housemates, particularly female, they tend to opt for one type. That's limited casting, not a racist audience. Argumentative and sassy is not going to win you Big Brother (unless MuthaP gives you a finale pass).

What about the non aggressive minorities? Hira, Sam, Adjoa, Melanie, Alison, Noirin, Jo, Rachel, Tashie?

I suppose Aisleyne was racist for evicting the only black person from the HND.

Because she has a friend called Leroy

Omg, I can't believe she was never challenged for that racist language.

You've clearly never been around racists to not get how that could be offensive.

Any word in the English language can be offensive if you twist its context enough.

That =/= racism.

Racism has intent behind it.

it's easy for white people to be like "it's not about race" or the classic "don't be ridiculous" when they will never understand what it's like to walk in a black persons shoes (or any other ethnic minority). This is still a white persons country and racism is in more places than you think, it also doesn't have to be in your face or vocal, there are many other ways people show racism and prejudice behavior

We're not having a general discussion on racism, nor has anyone said racism does not exist, or pretending nothing's ever about race.

But the actual specific circumstances around which this thread was made does not hold water.

sorry. I looked at the 17 pages of discussion and knew it wouldn't be on the same topic as page one

I wouldn't be surprised if Darren was 2nd in the voting that eviction.

Neither would I.

Because both Darren and Melanie were up against the following week's winner, Craig.

[Mystic Mock]

Wasn't Darren extremely marmite? I've never watched BB1 but he only got 13% to win out of 3 people, and he does seem to have a few detractors.

And the difference between a white essex boy and a black essex boy is what exactly?

Hmm, makes you question who the real racists are innit?

[Macie Lightfoot]

People asking for the difference between Claire and Mel, there's the fact that Mel received some boos and the fact that Mel was being slut-shamed while Claire's actions were being encouraged. Claire's eviction was a sad event bc we were splitting up the couple (despite Claire having a legitimate boyfriend of nine years), Mel's eviction was a celebration to get the harlot out.
