The only one I remember being launch night favourite was Pauline.

*mazedsalv** · 03-05-2015, 10:19 PM

Completely forgot about Caroline. I don't know whether she was ever favourite, but I'm sure she was 2nd in the first week. And yep, Rebeckah also. Pretty sure she was fave for a short stint, until someone overtook her. Then Aaron (I think) remained fave for most of the series from W3 onwards with Alex occasionally overtaking him.

Wasn't Luke BB9 one of the faves on launch too? Govan BB11 was also in the Top 3. How things change! Gina ended up doing the opposite, she was 120/1 to win in the first week

4 weeks later, she was favourite.

And then lost it again, 4 weeks later after being a bitch to Hazel.

Yep, BB9 was a year where everyone was everywhere. Rex, Rachel, Mikey, Sara, Lisa were all faves at one point.

For people saying Rebecka was fave on launch night i swear it was Mark who was fave from the minute he entered to the minute he left

She was def favourite for a time. So much love for her during the first HL show. Mark was the person to overtake her and then few days before he left, Aaron took over.

BB6 had the most favourites

I completely disagree and think her VT comments along with what she said to Makosi, made her racist.

What did she say to Makosi that was racist?

MB. · 03-05-2015, 10:50 PM

Also, if it was nothing to do with race, she wouldn't have preceded it with "I'm not racist, but..."

(look at us discussing a ten year-old show like it's in any way still relevant welp)

Because things can be taken the wrong way.

Racism
Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Since when were immigrants a race?
She also didn't specify which immigrants from certain backgrounds. She meant immigrants in general, regardless of race and ethnicity.

Those who think it was racist are misconstruing what she's saying, and think she's singling out a certain race, when she's not.

death @ malteaser head omg

Ignoring Tamara and Saskia, I'm sure there are housemates that you can defend who also seem like decent people. Let's keep trying.

What's Tamara got to do with this?
Bringing irrelevant housemates into the discussion, from a series 9 years later diminishes every point you make.

I don't even like her, and you seem to have the idea in your thick head that I do.
Defending someone doesn't mean you necessarily like them.

Just out of curiosity, what did you think of Jade Goody's behaviour, during CBB5?

Tamara was irrelevant.
What has she got to do with the the subject of racism?

I brought up Jade Goody, as the race row fits in perfectly with what we're talking about.

Comments like "lol ok then" just proves my point, TBH.

Similarly, I'd love to know your perceived intelligence of me, based seemingly on what I think constitutes racism (and - if not - your rather baffling choices of housemates to stick up for) fits in with the topic of racism.

I laughed at that comment not being about Makosi's race, it 100% was, all four of the Team Saskia were racist

That's your opinion.
There was no confirmation whatsoever, that it was based on the grounds of race.

Like I said it, how do you know she meant it racially?
It's ambiguous. It could mean either two things.

It's just a matter of opinion, on which you believe it was.

I can see how you may think it was racist, but I don't.

It's not like Shilpagate, when it was clearly obvious what Jade was doing.

What do you make of Derek's BNP comment, BTW?

Derek's comment was disgusting, but because it was on a fellow black person it tends to be laughed off more, I'm not saying that it's right, but it's Human Psychology.
