Hi, am pretty sure that the girl who cooked last night (25/09), used the N word when she did eeny meeny miney mo'? My partner and I both heard it, did anyone else?

Didn't see that particular episode so no idea what was or was not said
So what if they did? It was something that as kids we all used to say without understanding its meaning, I'm sure no offence was mean't. Its also something that I could quite easily say today if repeating the rhyme without thinking, its just the way I learn't it as a kid.
Another case of being terminally offended on someone else's behalf? Nothing to see here, move along now.
Oh the wit.
I think the woman was old enough to know the difference and it is a prime time TV show.
I didn't mention that I was offended by it and how do you know that I am not black and would be offended by it.
And learn't is not a word.
When I was young 'Johnny' had a rude connotation, therefore I'm offended by your username. Please change it.
I say 'think' because she said it in a West Country accent and I certainly used that 'eeny meeny' phrase when I was a child in the late 70s.
I didn't find what she said offensive. There's far more to be offended by on CDWM, usually the rude or ignorant diners!
I used to know someone that was also offended by condoms, they are dead now.
I know the contestant wasn't using it to be racist but surprised that the production team kept it in. If I remember correctly, it caused uproar when mentioned on Big Brother a few years ago.
Thanks for clearing that one up, off to get my ears syringed.
The animal rights people will not be happy with that, tigers are a protected species
That was always the version from my school days. I was shocked when I learned that the original version of the rhyme featured "the N word".
