Black winner this year?

Read somewhere that black contestants, especially black female contestants, are usually the first / or near the first to get booted out of BB.

Having read some of these threads, sounds like Vanessa/ Makosi are unpopular ... so, does this reflect some kind of racist element in UK/ Irish society. When you think about it, has there been a black winner on any reality show ... aha, just thought of the guy on The Apprentice, so maybe I'm talking crap ... interested to hear people's comments tho' ..

I think V+M are unpopular because they are boring/annoying gits, not because they are black. Derek and Science by comparison seem to be quite well recieved by viewers so far afaik.

Yeah I agree with that. I dont like Vanessa or Mokosi but I like Derek and dont mind Science (apart from having the name of one of my most hated subjects).

Frankly, I don't think one could reasonably engage in crying WITCH! WITCH! at BB given that previous winners include Brian Dowling and Nadia.

If discrimination came into the picture, I would have thought that gay Irish guys and Portugese transsexuals would go *long* before the black contestants.

I saw BB the other night [nomination night] and WTF? Talk about getting tired!

There was one killer quote from the short guy with the posh voice - he said he didn't like people substituting breasts for thought. Legend.

Methinks Sailorboy fancies himself as a bit of a troll. Either that or he cant read to see the Die Big Brother Die (The Official 'I hate BB' thread)
