Big Brother 8 UK - The Newest Race Row

by Carrie Grosvenor


I’m sure you’ve read about the newest race-related scandal on Big Brother UK, but if you haven’t Dave at Pop Buzz UK has the actual transcript of the conversation that led to Emily being removed from the house.

As a result, Channel 4 is being both heralded for stepping up and taking action and reprimanded for airing the offensive comments. Good grief - they can’t win. If they hadn’t aired it, then Emily’s removal would have been puzzling to anyone who doesn’t keep up with what happens in the house outside of the televised episodes.

The fallout in the media was inevitable too. Emily’s uncle, in an article entitled “Big Brother Emily Disowned,” told The Mirror that the comment she made was “completely disgusting and distasteful.” He goes on to say that “her parents will be devastated.” No mention of being “disowned” by any of her family, of course.

I’m sure the production staff is hoping that the race issue will be forgotten when two more men enter the house this evening.
