Heard Jade's diary room denial of racism on FiveLive before. Yeah but no, but yeah, but tbh.

 

Obviously the producers would have had a word about it,because she wouldnt have the brains to think she was being racist towards her,hence the big cuddle carry on in the garden,she would never have done that,so someone has had a word to stem the uproar.

In an incredible - if perhaps unsurprising - turn of events, the two girls at the centre of this week's media furore gained the most nominations from their housemates.

 

Do they know the meaning of incredible? :baby:

 

 

 

Well they urged people complaining to do something about it by voting (ie give them loads of money) Some people suggested giving their cut of the votes to an anti-bullying charity or something but they refused.

 

Apparently, not.

 

On this occasion Channel 4 has decided that all of the profits made from the voting lines will be donated to the charities sponsored by the housemates.

BOOOOO

 

Crowd ban on Big Brother eviction

 

There will be no crowds outside the Celebrity Big Brother house for the eviction show, Channel 4 has confirmed.

 

Viewers will decide the future of Shilpa Shetty and fellow housemate Jade Goody in the C4 reality TV show later.

 

It follows the furore which erupted after alleged racist abuse aimed at the Indian actress by Goody and others.

 

Profits made from calls made during the telephone vote will be donated to charities nominated by the contestants taking part in the series.

 

"Over the past few days, Celebrity Big Brother has generated an intense and, at times, heated public debate which the evicted housemate will be unaware of," Channel 4 said in a statement.

 

"As a result, Channel 4 and [production company] Endemol have taken the decision to conduct tonight's eviction in front of a studio audience and without a crowd."

 

Telephone vote

 

Karen Fenelon, 33, from London had a ticket and was planning to attend the broadcast.

 

"Tonight would have been the best one. You couldn't have got a better day than today," she said.

 

Goody is currently 1/33 favourite to be evicted, according to bookmakers William Hill. Shetty's odds stand at 10/1.

 

"I think they should have let her face the audience though," said Ms Fenelon. "She was made on Big Brother."

 

Channel 4 has also cancelled a post-eviction press conference, to allow the evicted housemate to be fully briefed on the race row before facing the media

 

Inside the house, Goody has insisted she "didn't say Shilpa Poppadum in a racial way" and that she does not judge people "by the colour of their skin".

 

 

What we are seeing is a noxious brew of old-fashioned class conflict, straightforward bullying, ignorance and quite vicious racial bigotry

Viewers have accused Goody, who rose to fame in the non-celebrity version of Big Brother in 2002, as well as former S Club 7 singer Jo O'Meara, model Danielle Lloyd and Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed of bullying Shetty.

 

The furore has seen politicians including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron drawn into the row, while 35 MPs have signed a motion condemning the programme, although Channel 4 has stood by it.

 

Speaking on a trip to India, Gordon Brown said: "There is a lot of support for Shilpa. It is pretty clear we are getting the message across. Britain is a nation of tolerance and fairness."

 

Sponsor withdrawal

 

Trevor Phillips, chair of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, said: "What we are seeing is a noxious brew of old-fashioned class conflict, straightforward bullying, ignorance and quite vicious racial bigotry. It is outrageous, and it is unpleasant."

 

TV watchdog Ofcom has now had over 36,000 complaints about the programme, leading sponsor Carphone Warehouse to suspend its affiliation with the show.

 

The Perfume Shop has withdrawn Goody's fragrance from its shelves following the row, while Lloyd has lost a modelling contract.

 

But the row has also seen audience figures steadily increase, with 5.7 million people tuning in to Thursday night's programme - 23.1% of TV viewers at the time.

 

Meanwhile, Jo O'Meara's sister has defended the singer against the bullying charges.

 

Speaking on GMTV, Julie Sullivan said: "We're all shocked. It's just not her character at all. She's just not like that."

 

Indian tourism officials have placed advertisements in several newspapers, "inviting Jade Goody and friends" to the country to experience its "healing nature".

"didn't say Shilpa Poppadum in a racial way" and that she does not judge people "by the colour of their skin".

 

True, if the lass was of the same skin colour but from Croydon Jade wouldn't be making comments about her home town being a diseased slum where people eat with their hands... Ironically.

What a bunch of bottlers! The one thing that may have been worth watching in this complete mess would be any of the arseholes coming out and getting some serious shit from the crowd on their way to see Davina who would then no doubt fawn over them and kiss their arse.

Maybe they could give all the contestants racially stereotyped foody nicknames, Shilpa Poppadom, Jermaine Fried Chicken-Watermelon, Jade Potnoodle, and add a bit of spice by shipping in Claude Frogslegs, Li Fried-Rice and Herr Sauerkraut. They could have a food-fight race war at the end.

There's a professional footballer going in to the house tonight.

 

Michael Owen? :baby:

hehehe You raise a good point it must be someone that's injured obviously, or someone without a club. Marcelino maybe?

 

It won't be a toon player, it will be someone that used to be famous, but isn't now.
