The CBB5 incident was much worse

It became a massive furore, especially with fanatics burning effigies in India & Gordon Brown sticking his nose in & the media blowing it all out of proportion & BB continually sticking with that theme of (Possible racial overtones) & (Highlighting bullying) It was a new shock to some, hense the thousands of complaints at that time.

I agree the "Racist" word was used way too much, but, add the "popadom" remark to just how bad the three girls were towards Shilpa and that was why people were complaining, And I agreed, I was saying to people that Channel 4 should have stepped in much earlier, not just let it get out of control the way it did.

What Emily said was a racist word, (N) word. What Jade, Jo & Danielle did was more about "not clicking" Three girl's with the same opinion of Shilpa Shetty.

Channel 4 trusted Endemol, but they know better today

Obviously you like Jade, I'm not going to tell you not to

More of a sympathiser to herself and others who are in a similar situation, where unfairness & corruption is in play. Money is usually the "reason", but hey, we all know that part

I really don't, and never have, especially after seeing the way she was in "Back To Reality" on channel 5against Josie D'Arby (sp?) again not in a racist way.....but it just shows that she has to be the bully of the bunch

Giving the viewers what they want. Jade Goody has become a No.1 success story, for just being herself. Why act differently? It is just what her fans expect. Playing to the cameras

I also heard that she was the same in BB3 (was it that one?) where she bullied another housemate....(I don't know if that was true or not, but as I've seen the other incidents.....)

All of these incidents involved more-than-herself. She may be the voice-box, but the evidence is on Youtube.com & she had others who agreed with her opinion. Like I said, she knows what her fans & fans of the shows want

of course the comments from the other 2 girls, acting as a gang, on one person is not something people want to see on the TV.

I have to disagree, it is exactly what viewers want. Trouble & Controversy makes viewers watch.

Even the non-fans

BB could have dealt with it much earlier......

That would cost them money, not so attractive to them

they dealt with it early this time.....

Ofcomwas watching & the Police too. Channel 4 got away with the past furore, just by making three apologies. If they did it again, it would be a hefty fine & certain resignations

Andy Duncan likes his job

unfortunately I feel they have just gotten it wrong again. like I've said many times before punishing one person and letting the others slide is just wrong and makes the wrong statement.

Endemol will have their reasons, (Fair-or-not), Emily got thrown out, Charley has stayed in.

If you reallly want a full explaination, e-mail Endemol, Channel 4 or Ofcom & you will get a standard politically correct reply in a (Politician) style of writing, probably telling you nothing......What's new

Everyone here has spoken of Charley saying "White Trash" but I for one have not heard this said so I can speak of her without that tainted brush.

After watching Emilygate again it is quite easy to see that the girl used and said the word in a derogatory sense to demean Charley. She would not have said that to a white friend for instance contrary to how many times she says she said it in the past to her friends.

That argument is over thank goodness but I wanted to say something as viewing the you tube clip has helped me to analyse how I feel.

I would like to know or has anyone got any evidence, clips of Charley using unappropriate language for example. Because if that is the case then she is guilty as charged. If not, there is no basis for an argument here?

So you are saying that because YOU did not see or hear it that it didnt happen and can not be debated? hmm I dont think so, I heard her call Chanelle it, and IMO it is racist and she should be given the same treatment that Emily was given.

When did she call Chanelle white trash?
