Big Brother Racism in the name of profiteerism not class.

Having watched pervious BB shows in the past (Not this one) the BB environment does put a strain on people, as with every negative feeling, people to do nit pick in faults or differences, and unfortunately nit and picking is coined as racism now...

I have seen Shilpa in London not so long ago doing a filming sequence and in the preamble moment of a warm up session. I witness her berate a "minor" Indian dancer for getting in the way not a particularly gratifying experience by any means. It was also particularly amusing the way Shilpa was made a fuss off with a makeup guy, with a blusher in hand and powering away at her face every 30 seconds. It's not surprising that Shilpa as been tagged the Princess by others within the house.

People have to remember that BB although live it is still edited you are only ever seeing from one view point and, that is of the editor and producer. The producer has got thirty odd screens in front of him and it is his or her job to sell the show.

Having not watched the show this year on the basis of the so call list of celebritism I cannot comment what has been said. Nor do I trust the newspaper to tell a balance story, Sensationism sells newspapers just like T.V. sells.

Considering the BB show this year viewing figures was on the fall even before Jade and co. turned up (At witched point I stopped watching the show). I can't help but think that there is a monetary motive behind the “sudden” interest by newspaper and media companies. BB as a TV show is a very profitable business and you can’t help but wonder who has what finger in what pot of cash.

What also strike me odd is why BB producers put a stop to the comments being allegedly made within the house and also why didn’t BB simply pull the plug on the issue (not the show) when it was very well known the gauge of public reaction outside was known.

I feel this whole experience has unnecessary destroyed a number of people’s lives and careers in a petty stake of profiteerism.

I also think the Government involvement was totally unnecessary as this was a civil matter that has been let on purpose to spin out of control by the BB editor and producers.

There only one person to blame for this is the controller of the Channel four network for letting this to happen.
