If you thought that was nasty some bugger from ofcom just put down the phone on me after trying to make a complaint about Luisa being a deafist!! >:(>:(
But it's as if she's singling Liz out in some respects for her disability. It's as if Luisa was in the room with a black HM, and said 'It's like being with [Insert other black HM]'. It's the same concept.
I understand there was no offence intended, but it was still quite a stupid thing to say.
No. Don't like Luisa but there was no offence intended.
Most of what comes out of her mouth is intended for some effect or other, on this occasion it was ''Oh for Fk sake its like being with Liz'' that was derogatory and offensive.She really is a very unpleasant woman.
You know, that's why I could never be a BB housemate.
I make throwaway comments intended to be funny but would cause people to be apoplectic with outrage on the outside.
I think she was just trying to be funny.
She definitely spoke to quickly, but I think she should have the common sense to know making some sort of a joke about someone's disability is going too far.
What I find bad is that if she said that comment about a black person [The example I gave in an earlier post], she would be slated on here, warned by BB and 100% evicted on Wednesday.
So why isn't it the same since she said it about a deaf person which is a much worse thing to make fun of than a black person.
Comments
nah not really it's just an off cuff comment tbh (and i don't have great hearing myself)
Exactly why does everyone make a big deal out of every action or word said??
She IS nasty. Really hoping she will go on Wednesday - her odds to go are shortening now and hopefully will shorten further after tonight's show.

Liz wouldnt have been able to hear it to give a f anyway
I thought it was hilariously off the cuff.

Being deaf is hardly as wonderful as being beautiful is it?
I am just not convinced there is anything funny about Liz's hearing disability.
In fairness, I'm not saying it is funny, I'm just applying context.
Unless we're a puritan, we all say things that are slightly bad taste sometimes in the hope of getting a laugh.
It's just human nature. Look how popular videos of people falling over on YouTube are.
Liz also made the suicide comment yesterday, so she's hardly likely to complain about someone else making a thoughtless comment.
All of this "professionally offended" business is what made BB so careful and joyless during it's final C4 years.
Some folk need to get off their high horse, its like those who get offended on others behalf's, yet the 'offended' isnt actually offended
