What do you think of the alleged (obvious, imo) racism? Should the contestants guilty of abuse against Shilpa be removed from the house and suitably 'punished'? Are the Big Brother producers deliberately ignoring/denying the treatment of Shilpa? Or has everything that's happened just been blown out of proportion?
Personally, from what I've seen on the show when I have watched it and what I've read has been said on the shows I've missed, I'm pretty disgusted. Not just by the behaviour of the housemates towards Shilpa, but the reaction, or lack of, the producers and so on. Are ratings really worth sending out a message that gross racism is ok and accepted by society? Especially when you consider that the ratings are low anyway... I dislike Celebrity Big Brother, I'm more of a fan of the 'normal' version, but this series has ended any interest I did have in the show.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
All its participants should be shot and those who watch it should be endlessly ridiculed and subjected to massive public shaming, if they aren't already ashamed of themselves.
That's my two pence and if you have a problem with my lack of "contribution", my ready-made reply is: "You watch Big Brother.".
Are ratings really worth having one or more series of the original show, much less Celebrity Big Brother, Teen Big Brother etc?
One time was bad enough but ok, once. Twice was more than overkill. They show Teen Big Brother and more or less coax (from what I heard by way of an acquaintance and newspapers) two of them into having sex, and our society wants to complain about sex crimes against youngsters.
all reality TV is crap, i think. i believe its mostly scripted.

Even if it's not intended to be "scripted", there is no way that you enter a house with other strangers, aware that millions upon millions will be watching and, even sadder, possibly garnering a hatred/love for you, and not act up to cameras.
I believe there was a strike threat among reality TV script writers a few years ago. They were working an insane amount of hours and not getting the justified pay increases.
well as my other half watches celeb BB i have caught some of it
maybe its bigger in the UK than elswhere
im not a big fan but its good to see minor celebs being put through mental torture but what is happening with Shilpa is bullying
its obvious the brain dead monstosity that is Jade Goody is jealous of Shilpas looks and her boyfreind is an embarrasment with the personality of a tin of paint
Jade Goody is a ****ing horror and is typical of the trash that you see every saturday night sparked out covered in vomit after too many WKDs
dood, you have NO idea how much i agree with you here. its like these people that go on jerry springer....."my mom is my lover and she cheated on me with my uncle and they have a love child who is in fact an alien and they both are communists!!!"

Don't say "I don't watch it...but...*Details*". We all end up knowing at least some of their names here in Britain, purely because they're everywhere, but if you know the details that could only come from watching it, just say it. It's a Big Brother thread.
Nothing worse than that.
To RJ: Exactly. "WHAT?! I DIDN'T KNOW WE'D BE ON THIS SHOW TO DISCUSS OUR REAL, GENUINE PROBLEMS! I'M FURIOUS BUT I BETTER SIT DOWN AND DO THIS BECAUSE I'M SO FURIOUS!". You'd just not do it, you'd say "F*ck off you stupid b*tch, don't come back, I'm changing the locks.".
righto, AC. even if their problems were genuine, who in their right mind would go on TV and expose themselves?

Jade Goody is the most vile human being ever to be shat into civilisation and the Shilpa racism row has overshadowed the fact that Jade repeatedly spoke about "Eskimos" which is the Innuit equivalent of the "N" word.

i realized that reality TV was scripted one day when watching that MTV show where strangers liver together.

Gender: Female Location: every which way but loose
I do watch it, although not regularly, and I apologise
The ratings were high at one time, it was obviously a popular show. I do see your point about it being overkill and I seem to recall agreeing with you before about that; should the series be axed I'm sure I won't miss it. But for now the intention of this thread was to discuss the racism against a housemate, not whether someone appreciates the show or not.
Irrelevant of the fact that you think the show should be cancelled, should never have been shown in the first place etc., what do you think of the way Shilpa is being treated?
line them up, AC. read them their rights, ask them what they want on their tombstone, hope that they dont say pepperoni, then BLAM!!!! i'm with you.

Secondly, I don't know how she's being treated, or what's happening. I saw a Big Brother thread and zeroed in for the kill to be honest. I'll read the post then reply accordingly. I will afford you that, at least.
