who and what they did say

[optimisticcynic]

She was quoting Ron, and even if some were offended, she apologised immediately which was well-handled. However, when is Big Brother going to get a formal warning for doing exactly the same thing whilst warning Carol?

[billy123]

Its still unacceptable language quoting or not.
If "I was quoting someone" was accepted as a reason to say something anybody could get away with saying horrific things.


They bleeped her saying it for her own good so it cant be used out of context by the media or anybody trying to make her look bad. It could be made to look a hell of a lot worse if the context it was used in was cut out of a clip.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Not one person has said who, just 'she'
Who said this??

[Livia]

What surprises me is that Carol is supposed to be a media professional.

A drunken media professional.lol.

I'm sure the reason they give out warnings so easily is because they know it'll get press attention.

Exactly, and guess what Paper is trumpeting it for Sunday's edition! If they hadn't broadcast that few seconds out of the 24 hours worth that they had to play with, The Sunday Smut would have had no headline!

They shouldn't have put Ron in if they are afraid of the word, Carol did not use it in an offensive way at all, she was just explaining what was said.

Agreed. It's quite laughable Carol repeating the wording can be seen as 'offensive' yet putting the man in who famously used it is fine.

Doesn't matter if it was used in an offensive way or not. Just using the word is unacceptable and would be offensive to loads of people watching.


Oh and are We forgetting someone was kicked out for using it before? Not sure why this whole "BB is so PC now" thing is starting.

So it's ok for Big Brother to say it when they quote someone else's use of the word

But it's not ok for Carol say it when she quote's someone else's use of the word

That makes sense!!

^ this.

It was absolutely ridiculous that Carol gets a formal warning for saying the word that BB then repeats :/ A reminder of the rules would have been better considering she was only quoting Ron, as BB did her

Not very well thought out BB :/

Am I not allowed an opinion because I'm white? I just find it hypocritical they reward Ron by paying him to go in the house when he's been racist, that's the main reason he's probably been offered the role but then give somebody a warning for simply repeating his words.

k bye now

[Withano]

Big Brother (correctly so) said that they deemed her language unacceptable.

Big Brother didn't say she was racist, they only said how her language was unacceptable and they were correct.

Big Brother now needs to give themselves a warning because they used the N word in the same context as Carol did - ie not saying to 'be' racist but highlighting it as an example of racism

Such is the logic of the warning
