I'm not sure you have to be homophobic to call a straight person gay when you're trying to upset them.

If you don't think it's likely to upset them how on earth is that not homophobic?
![]() And if you thought that somebody was insecure about their sexuality so you suggested that they were gay to upset them why would that be homophobic in itself? |

How can they possibly warn her for upsetting people when it was they themselves who gave her the task to upset people?
That really doesn't make sense at all. How is she supposed to upset people without upsetting them? She had no problems upsetting people for the previous week without getting warnings. She just needed to open her mouth and speak. |

Why would they be upset if they're not gay? What would that make them?

Look - it's an absolute load of inane shoite when the producers get involved. We know this. They're morons and will go for the lowest common denominator all the time.
But let's step back a bit. They asked them to make them 'angry'. The main (only?) bone of contention between Farrah, Austin and James have been discussions about the Austin/James relationship. So that was where she was going to go. Farrah's fairly dim; to be fair. She's going to used the tried and trusted method of winding him up. And it worked. Now to the response on here. There's something very disingenuous about it. James and Austin have been the fan favourites from Day One - LARGELY because of their homo-erotic relationship. To a certain extent - with no subtlety or intellect and shag all imagination - Farrah has been voicing the viewers thoughts on the subject of James and Austin. |

Just watched it (I missed the first part of the show earlier) and found it unbelievable - Farrah should be kicked out for that imo.
Homophobic or not you can't say those things. |

Big Brother on Channel 5, everyone! It was way over the top, but I thought it was hilarious. Guess you Brits can't take a bit of banter. |

Better to be sensitive than insensitive.
I can safely say all the Brits in the house have behaved with the maturity and basic human decency that has been lacking in their American counterparts. The really sad thing is, I think you're totally serious. Did you listen to the bunch of them slagging her off afterwards? Where'd that basic human decency go? |

In short she is a selfish, immature, borderline homophobic who is going to look back on this part of her life and regret it massively, when shes a penniless has-been that no one would touch with a barge Pole, let alone employ her. |

Whether Farrah is homophobic or not she was in her element with that task. Her and Austin were suppose to make them angry but she just has no bounds and did cross the line I feel reducing the women to tears was just mean. Farrah is an awful person and is the 2nd coming of Satan to the BB house and I don't enjoy watching the show because she makes it all about her. She needs to go but unfortunately she will be kept in over decent HM's.

I thought CBB was supposed to be entertaining trash television.
I was disgusted. Never mind making the HMs angry.........I was furious. ![]() That overstepped any shred of decency. I know the viewer is well warned but that's not a good enough excuse for broadcasting that. ![]()

Big Brother doesn't seem to be able to distinguish the difference between upset or angry.
Farrah just upset everyone. I know Natasha said she was angry but you could see she was very upset. Farrah relished that task a little too much. |

If that tirade had happened without the guise of a task it would at they very least be a final warning. As the words used were all Farrah's choice (and her therapy!!), BB should have treated this nauseating episode in exactly the same way as any other similar outburst of venom. |

What's more, if you were offended by being called gay when you aren't, wouldn't you be being homophobic yourself due to thinking that being seen to be gay is a bad thing?
The person calling another person gay doesn't necessarily have to be homophobic. I'm sure if Farrah sat down and had a quiet talk - is that possible? - with Gail and Natasha and told them that she genuinely believed them to be gay they would not have been offended. It was the manner in which she expressed it, and the fact it was obviously meant as an insult, that was so disagreeable to them - I believe. By the way I'm not saying anybody is being homophobic.

"Voicing the viewers thoughts"?! Only homophobic scum would concur with the filth that Farrah has been desperately trying to conceal since day one. Even with the muzzle taken off during the task, it's clear she was still trying to restrain herself. The sentiments she expressed were all VERY REAL. Anyone who's had to deal with this kind of homophobic vermin can smell them a mile away, and she reeks of it...

and there is certainly no excuse for what she said. She is vile and disgusting and she revelled in it both during and after. I say good on BB for showing it because it just proved to many of us how truly nasty she really is.
I'm not sure I can keep on watching now if this is what the rest of it is going to be like. I have also used the word VILE because that is what she is. disagreeable, horrid, horrible, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, offensive, obnoxious, odious, unsavory, repulsive, disgusting, distasteful, loathsome, hateful, nauseating, sickening; disgraceful, appalling, shocking, shameful, dishonorable, execrable, heinous, abhorrent, deplorable, monstrous, wicked, evil, iniquitous, nefarious, depraved, debased; contemptible, despicable, reprehensible, godawful and lowdown. |
