The girl is being used as a scape goat, the show is full of shit and the media are (as they always do) latching on to anything about race hate. Let's face it, racism happens, all over the world every single day. Big Brother is a REALITY t.v show, and this is how people are. Channel 4 will use this to get as much cash as they can, while taking a firm stance against what they created, bunch of tossers.

Haven't seen any of this years BB, but she must be pretty thick to use the "N" on national TV,especially after the Shilpa Shetty farce.

"Thick, or told to use it"
!shocked! Interesting,is there a bit of scandal kicking about already?
Wouldn't suprise me though, CH4 will use any dirty trick for ratings it seems these days.

I've lived in the South West (currently Torquay but mostly in and around Exeter) most of my life and while I am always reluctant to make generalisations Keith does have a point.
I can't comment about Bristol though as I don't know the place.

No gossip I'm aware of. It's just rather strange that the race issue has emerged so quickly, with the wanks at Endemol still reeling from having to admit telling porky pies over the offensive rhyme during the "celebrity" version. You know, the rhyme they said didn't happen and that they had no footage of. Oh, they do.
I think this alleged contestant will find herself a job with Endemol within a very short time. Payback for publicly taking a bullet for the arseholes on the board.

Yes very strange this. After the Jade etc fiasco surely nobody with
an ounce of sense would use the slightest racist word let alone what
Emily is reported to have said
With advertising revenue at it's lowest for breaks during BB it does
appear to be covenient for C4 that they get a massive media boost
at such an early stage

i doubt anyone with any dignity or brain would use that word because someone told them to, also why would she do it she knows she'll become public enemy number 1 if she does.

I haven't seen the footage, but from the reports it sounds as if it was used while dancing in a "white person trying to sound street" kind of way, which makes it look like BB is being tough when (use of the word apart) there was no offensive intent.
I'm sure the spin will be "Poor Emily didn't realise what she was saying," and the rehabilitation begins.
The cynical manipulation of people (viewers as well as contestants) carried out by the utter fuckholes that run that show is the real story. But it's Channel 4's only big ratings hit, so Endemol will continue to do what the fuck it likes. Sooner or later, the sponsorship will return. The braindead will continue to phone in votes; the pathetic will continue to audition in the hope of becoming Z-Listers.
As I've said before, left alone (without editorial interference) it could have been an interesting social experiment. Not exciting TV admittedly, but at least worthy of study. But no, let's get in the freaks and weirdos, get the country talking about whether Slapper A will ever snog Male Slapper C. Everyone involved in the show should be locked up in the house, without food or water, and left.
