I have always enjoyed BB and CBB but now it is becoming so politically correct that it is spoiling the whole enjoyment of the show.
Maybe it is time to end CBB.
Yep....too many people offended by everything. It's run it's course. People won't be satisfied until it's just a group of bland people without an opinion sitting around discussing quantum physics and sewing.
Not at all. You can have your own views and beliefs, don't let anyone make you think otherwise, especially the PC wimps.
Oh and Channel 5 are loving this 'controversy', make no mistake.

I was enjoying watching Ken....I found him amusing. I guess will have to wait and see what he has done so wrong.
With viewing figures up on both 2014 and 2013, and an incredibly strong audience for C5 standards of 2.7m tuning in last night, that simply isn't going to happen just because a few armchair complainers are unhappy that an incredibly nasty man with antiquated and highly offensive views has rightly lost his place in the house.

course they are, and the entire thing is contrived, contrived, contrived. It's as scripted as TOWIE these days - they know what will get the show into the media and people voting. It's a cash-cow, nothing more, nothing less.

I agree. Unless housemates can be themselves, how can the concept continue. Either Channel 5 change those managing the show or they will kill BB dead.
For God sake being offended by someone using words like negro while putting on a southern American accent like a slave owner is not pc gone mad! It is deeply offensive!

Amen to that.
And you only have to consider his comments to Chloe in the aftermath of the incident with Jeremy to know plenty about the calibre of the man.
He was a wrongun, alright. How anyone could "enjoy" watching him is beyond me. He was anything but entertaining.

Just don't watch it then!
Simples.
In comparison to Civillian Big Brother in the Channel 5 years the Celebrity Version has been a freakin goldmine.
Much more entertaining and overall better winners (In the previous two years)
Its just a shame that two people have done thiings that have put themselves in a position to be removed.

Why are you using blasphemy? Don't you think that could be offensive to people who are religious?

Why do you have the right to be offended on someone else's behalf?
Alexander didn't seem to be offended , he did kindly point out to Ken that most black men would not find it acceptable.
I suppose you think the word n....r is completely unacceptable. Suppose you heard someone say to another person 'Hey n....r, how are you?"
You then express your offence to the term and the person who had had the term directed at them tells you to keep your nose out of it as he knows this person and he finds it acceptable to him.
What he does find offensive is someone, who is not party to the situation, chipping in to tell him he should feel offended.
Is he right are you the offender now?
