They knew this article was dynamite and they changed the rules to take Deana and Adam out of this weeks equation. We cant blame Deana for playing the race card but the comment about Chris teating her like **** because she was asian was good enough to kick it off. Once again she knows what she is doing.

What gets me is that these people all know whats what and when they go in they should expect it. We can call Beckie a slag and a whale and Ash a tart, conor a conman and Arron etc etc etc, but as soon as a black person gets a gorilla or ****e comment, the whole world caves in. It makes my blood boil.

Offer Deana 50k to walk and see how she reacts, she will refuse becasue she knows she has the 100k won. Adam wouldnt give a toss.

Sack these idots in the prod team and get professionals in to manage it correctly. One day the punishment for a grade 5 foul is no hot water for 20 mins, the next day the same foul gets someone evicted. No consistency.

What's happened? What's been missed?

do you honestly think caroline would describe any other HMs other than adam as a "gorilla"

no.

therefore it was racist.

Adam has been called many things in there by many people, no one said a word about racism until Caroline made a comment that was pretty racist. I don't think racism should be tolerated ever.

didn't realise the little toad had said that. SamPVT, surely you're not advocating racism because these people have opted to go on TV....

That is a load of bollocks!!
Caroline was just being the horrible little spoilt-brat that she is!
Was the tirade of 'complimentary descriptions' that she gave about Chris racist?...NO, I think not!

Some posters really ought to engage their brains before trying to create imaginary story-lines!


Cheers.

Lex,
Trying to belittle another person by telling them to engage their brain, when they are only expressing their opinion on God-forbid, a forum, reeks of arrogance and disregard. Your point would be better received if not so offensively made. That being said, what was the context of the statement, though I can picture few where it would matter.

imaginary?

babes so tell me then, which other HMs would caroline describe as a "gorilla"?

if you if you don't see the racism in that then you are the one who needs to engage their brains!

She was bitching to Scott about Adam and she said ‘He’s just a ridiculous gorilla – bowl haircut, no sanitation,’ before going on to call the former gang member ‘disgusting'

I definately do not advocate racism (if you could see me you would know why, lol) all I am saying is that the race crad gets played by those that abuse it. What is racism, it is a form of discrimination right. So by virtue of that, my point is, why should we tolerate other far worse things and investigate racism when the actual crime dosent fit the punishment. Deana started her own race crad thing by telling someone she thought Chris didnt talk to her because she was black. CHRIS SAID NOTHING. That is her using the race card to get noticed. Bad Bad Bad.

In my view caroline is a real bad apple but by calling Adam a gorilla, come on, is this how far we are going to get noticed. That is taking the argument to a different level. It wont be long before the word Black is outlawed as a colour. Political correctness is going mad. I blame this whole load of crap on Tony Blair, get that twot in the house.

Cheers, Niamh. She may get her 15mins on the show but she's likely done herself no favours for the future. Perhaps the backlash will help her grow as a person as she strikes me as someone somewhat stunted in their emotional and social development. Almost as though she's stuck at age 14 yet her gang of b1tchy mates have all moved on without her.

I concede that some people play the race card where unwarranted to curry favour, but gorilla references in my experience are rarely innocent in this regard. Take for example Balotelli's recent depiction in the Italian Press as King Kong. I am a big believer that our subconscious processes are most evident when we are relaxed, and the words we choose to use at these times are often the best indicators of our true feelings.
