    I wonder if she was a "plant" to redeem BB's image after the celeb BB racial incident? Very convenient and a quick timing if she wasn't...

    How stupid is she?

    Emily: (referring to Charley dancing/pushing her hips forward) You pushing it out you ******.
    Nicky: (shocked laughter) Em, I can't believe you said that.
    Charley: You are in trouble.
    Emily: Don't make a big thing out of it then. I was joking.
    Charley: I know you were? but that's some serious s**t, sorry.
    Emily: Why?
    Charley: Oh my god. I'm not even saying it.
    Nicky: Just don't talk about it anymore.
    Emily: I was joking
    Charley: Do you know how many viewers would watch that?
    Nicky: Okay, don't make a big deal out of it.
    Charley: Fancy you saying that. I can't believe you said that.
    Emily: Somebody has already used that word in this house.
    Charley: No way. (Pause) Yeah, me. I'm a ******.

    Nicky laughs.

    Charley: I am one. Fancy you saying it. I know maybe you see it in a rap song. Maybe you and your friends sit there saying it.
    Emily: I'm friendly with plenty of black people.
    Nicky: And you call them ****?
    Emily: Yeah and they call me ****. They call me wiggers as well.
    Nicky: I'm quite shocked.
    Charley: I'm f*****g in shock.
    Emily: It's not a big deal though is it?

    silly girl calling a black girl that word on tv. Never mind after the whole Jade thing. C4 have been on a hair trigger.

    However, I would say that it is stupidity rather than maliciousness. Given the prevalence of the use of the word in allot of what is now mainstream music and the circumstances in which she used it - black girl shaking her bootie - she was role playing Snoop or something.

    Either way, she's screwed now!

    I was gonna say how could someone be so dumb until I remembered that it's a Big Brother contestant we are talking about.

    Wasn't she the one who said she was really intelligent and was into this new music called "Indie"?

    Did Gary Wilmot use the "N" too?

    Back on subject does this mean that there is no eviction tomorrow night? She's a silly girl, at least her rows with Channelle and Ziggy were entertaining

    What grumphy said. When I was living in England for the past year we would openly call ourself "paddy's" If any English said it to me I would punch him in the mouth, same as what happened here.

    or as they used to say in the letters page in VIZ

    "and how come Tupac and Dre can say 'the n word' as much as they want
    and yet when I shout it at my son's soccer match I get escorted from the pitch?"

    She'll be forever known as n*gger girl now.

    But I don't think she should've been kicked out. Reprimanded maybe, but not kicked out.

    Did she intend any harm? Certainly not.

    Has she shown any other signs of racial bullying? not that I've seen.

    She wasn't even trying to be controversial, just having a bit of banter and fun. She messed up, and instead of educating her, and the masses watching, she was summarily kicked off.

    This is going to give the uneducated horde in the UK (and Ireland!) a more backwards view of what racism actually is.

    I can't believe they don't look at this in context. There was absolutely not a single thread of malice in what she said.

    A bit extreme to kick her out for it?

    Charlie new it was harmless but yet she made a bit of a deal out of it, I reckon if Nicky and Charlie had said nothin and just laughed, it would have blown over. And for the love of God don't compare the word 'Paddy' to the N word, if an English person called me a Paddy I'd just laugh, unless they were really trying to offend me. I feel sorry for the girl, she must be in bits right now and it was just gettin good too with her and Ziggy.
