The last big brother.

I've not really been following this, I lost interest when I saw no rate celebrities going in that I'd never heard of, and hardly watch tv these days anyway. Therfore it's awkward for me to comment on the actual antics.

Has anyone been watching it and is it racist. I've heard that Jades sid comments sucah as go home, but as she isn't home at the moment, is that a racist comment?

Car phone warehouse have pulled the plug on it's sponsorship deal as of yesterday -thursday, and it seems likely that channel 4 will be forced to pull the plug on the program. This will effectively cancel the franchise and will mean the end of big brother in this country.

Is this what we really want all because some people cry racist?

Is this freedom of speach?

Would it not be easier and better to just remove the alleged racists, replace them and carry on with the show. ?

I think it would be.

I doubt it was a publicity stunt, ch4 nearly had to pull the program and if that happened they'd have lost the franchise to big brother.
You may not like it but big brother is important to ch4 and it fits in with thier goal which is to create programs which cause debate.

The comments have been blown out of proportion. Using an aspect of someones race ie the food they eat is not in my view racist, it's just abusive and bullying. Jade doesn't dislike her because of her race, she dislikes her because she's up herself. Jade has made plenty insults about other things, servants etc.
REminds me of a typical witch hunt by the papers, anything or anyone to bully. Always reminds me of the way they wrecked our millenium dome. Had it in for it from day one because they had to que and didn't get priority. Same with the royals. Hate campaigns by the press.

Another 'twist' Jade now apparently admits to using words that are racist, but she's not a racist (and didn't use them in a racist way, conveniently missed out by the journalists)
