I really don't think ignorance is an excuse.

And if you ask me there is hate there. He has previous of it in his own series calling people fags and faggots.
I agree that it goes beyond ignorance in this case. Ignorance is definitely a factor but I do think there was hatred in what he said too. He gets quite heated up in the conversation with Kalia, and cuts her down when she simply tries to explain her own point of view and understand his. If there was no hatred or bigotry behind his views, then he wouldn't have been so unwilling to hear an opposing point of view that isn't anti-gay

I never liked Jeff anyway. He has creepy eyes.
He reminds me of that comedian Tony Hawks.

Omg, I actually really liked Jeff.. Until i saw this! What a tw*t. It's annoying how they edit him to be the complete nice innocent guy all the time. I'm glad the black girl (can't remember her name) really stuck to her point.

Wasn't there a similar incident in the first UK BB series? I'm sure I remember a male housemate confusing homosexual men with paedophiles, and George Michael contacted the show to praise the HM who put him straight (as it were!)

I think it's fine for the housemates to be ignorant knobs as long as it's shown. My big problem with Dave from the last UK BB was that his disgusting behaviour was 99% kept out of the show.

You are correct. It was Nasty Nick, and Anna and Mel gave him what for.

He hd these views last time he was on. It's what made his humiliating exit at the hands of a camp gay man so sweet.
