Sorry, but I just cant see how "Negro" (as used in the Frank Bruno story) is more offensive than "Gypped" ? Sling Cami out too!

That wasn't the point though. His employer told him not to and gave him a formal warning to not to and he did it again and so his employer sacked him.

He was told not to under threat of dismissal and then he did it again. So he was dismissed.

Besides he was really offensive outside of that I mean jaw dropping so.

Yes. I expect What Cami-Li said offended many viewers too. I don't much care if they remove everyone who makes racist comments or if they leave them in no matter what they say and do, as long as it is the same for everyone.

I've never heard of it.

And if they give her a formal warning to not do it and she continues to do it. I'm sure they'll sack her as well.

Let's not get confused here. Ken did not just say that word and got ejected over it. He was repeatedly offensive in many ways. Some comments were racist, some were sexist and he even managed a bit of Antisemitism. He was warned repeatedly about his language and behaviour and given a formal warning but nothing stopped him doing it.

I think we're going to get a showdown not between Perez and Katie but between Alicia and Katie. Did not see that coming.

It comes from "Gypsy" and means to be swindled or stolen from.

I cant imagine her repeating it, but for the sake of fairness she should be told.

I have never seen anything like it. Normally, I like the housemates to be offensive and horrible because I like to see how the others react but Ken (and Connor) was a step too far.

I have a feeling that Katie has seriously underestimated Alicia and will come off worse.

Everything Michelle says is funny to me. She could recite the alphabet and I would be rolling round laughing.”

that also totally passed me by!

I'm afraid I didn't follow why cami and Chloe thought that poor hapless Patsy should have picked one of them. Why pick on Patsy???

They think she is an easy target but I think they are in for a shock. Of course, everyone after Patsy could have chosen them and didnt, but are more likely to tell her to get lost.
I wonder what BB did to make half of them go loopy so quickly?

I agree - one rule for all.

Do you really? I can't see Alicia getting the better of Katie - but she could certainly make Katie look bad, especially if she cries and can't find a banana to make her feel better.

Other than they thought she was their 'friend' neither can I. They kept saying that had she chosen one, she would've been in effect saving them both, but that applies to all HMs who came later

Wow. Chloe is dumb...
Cami li is psycho...

It's a strange old day when Calum Best is coming across as one of the better, more grounded, normal people in there.

Good Morning Everyone.:+))))))))))))))

The suns out here again, chilly though.
Had to put the wheelie bin out before they came to empty them.
Was going to do it last night but it was raining.

I see, she used it in the context of "being swindled then"
She wouldn't know it's not allowed, not sure if it is or not.
It seems there's not much we can say these days.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a 'who has had 'relationships' with who' Big Brother chart. It would feature Calum a lot, I should think.

Used in the context of the myth that "Gypsies" steal and cheat as a way of life, yes.
It is accepted as a racist term.
As I said, it should be all racist words banned or none, and aggressiveness allowed for everyone or no-one.
No ethnic group's feelings should be more important than another, surely?

He seems very pleasant but I cant for the life of me see what all the fuss is about?

Are Alexander, Keith and Kavana the only ones bot boozing?

I think she stole more than 2 bananas...
I think she should sue her plastic surgeon... I googled her and she USED to be quite pretty. WTF has he done to her nose??

Alicia only owned up to taking the bananas when someone (Michelle?) pointed out that they had seen her. Before that she stayed quiet.
I don't know why whoever saw her taking bananas didnt just ask her about it at the time, and why not everyone knew about the "food rules"

Its not that I actually WANT anyone to be racially abused and upset....

But I cant help hoping that somebody shouts over the wall to tell Nadia what Alexander thinks about Arab people.
