Why hasn't Charley been removed as well? She used the same word, in the same conversation, but happens to be coloured, so it must be allowed.
Probabaly because Emily started it....!?


Erm so? If it had been Amanda or Laura who said it in the same conversation you can bet your life they would of been removed as well.

Anyone who uses the language should be removed. "End of". No excuses. No double standards.

I can't believe Emily has gone! What happens to all the people who already voted?


No word on that... although I assume that anyone who voted will be refunded.

What a stupid stupid girl. Did she really think that after the Celeb BB debacle she could really go in their and call someone a n*****? - even as a joke. Dumb Idiot

Isn't she the one who claimed she was oh so smart and intelligent as well? Rolling Eyes

This quote from Bill Oddie seems apt

“I wouldn’t like to think we are competing with Big Brother — we are four divisions above them and they are due for relegation." Laughing

He's referring to the Springwatch live streaming pulling in 300,000 viewers compared to BB's mere 90,000.

Well thats on BBC Two, also is that the live streaming on E4, or C4 in the dead of night when the 15 - 30yr olds are in bed, while the dirty old men sit and watch Springwatch Night watch? (No offence to Springwatch viewers Razz )

Everything will be shown tonight, her saying that word to her being ejected from the Diary Room.

Just watching Sky's interview with the commissioning editor Angela Jain really makes me laugh - they keep asking the same question again and again with their holier than tho attitude - "why broadcast the offensive language if you think it's wrong?" Because we know what happened last time they didn't broadcast something! Rolling Eyes

(1) Firstly, to describe someone as "coloured" is also racially offensive, or certainly was unless opinion has changed recently.

(2) "they would have been removed...".

Most people say coloured and don't see anything wrong with it.I highly doubt you're Mr.Religious.

Actually,you shouldn't say black either.Brown is more accurate.

Well done Channel 4 for removing her. What was she thinking?

Some of the girls have made Tracey a little girly-like, doing her hair and applying some make-up - She now looks like LBC presenter, Alison Bell. Laughing

The United Kingdom in 2007...what a f**ked up place it is!

"Don't say this, don't say that, don't do this, don't do that, racism this, racism that"...oh f**k off and leave us alone!

Where has this Great countries' backbone and flare gone? This is now a nation of do-gooders, trying to please everyone, and in turn constantly chipping away at our freedoms...and causing many individuals ( Emily in this matter) to become scapegoats in a farce of a situation.

You want RACISM...research the Ku Klux Klan, Nazism etc.

To label Emily as RACIST because she blabbed abit of typical black-street-talk is pathetic. And even more stupid and sad considering the black girl present used the word in reference to herself moments later.

Britons need to get a grip and fast!

Emily also mentioned that someone had said it before in the house, which screams double standards on BBs part.

Black Power wasn't a racist movement you idiot, it was a movement that asserted and glorified the rights of black people and a movement that was tired of begging for acceptance from whites in America.
