Why? This has just blown up without all sense of reason. I can't believe that if you vote for shilpa to leave BB you are a racist. What is that about? Why can't someone vote shilpa out on the basis of her personality? Why is this such a race issue. This stinks and I don't like the polictical involvment this has attracted.

They should ban it. I watched the behaviour and the comments on the news. Disgraceful. Big brother was rubbish here and I see it is no better there.

She is a product of our crazy celebrity culture where we create these airhead icons, such as Paris Hilton, Jodie Marsh and other completely useless people, whilst people who really do great things are widely ignored by the media. As I say, it's all bread and circuses- the barbarians are at the gates...

The producers must be laughing all the way to the bank. It's so tricky to decide these days what is, or isn't racist, that it is hard for me to comment. It seems to me that the crucial element must be, were the offensive remarks made because of her <i>behaviour</i> or because she was Indian? Would they have made the same sort of remarks about a Jordy or a Taff, or an American if they had behaved in the same way?

BB has edited and encouraged the bullying when they could have put a stop to it straight away. BB has manipulated the situation and must be enjoying the higher ratings but at what cost? As for men was it okay for Jermaine Jackson to call Jade's family "white trash"! This is the only racist comment i have heard. Jade will be evicted and led like a lamb to the slaughter. BB built her up and are now knocking her down. I cannot imagine how bad her eviction will be as the baying crowds will be bullying her! & i am sure shouting racist comments & maybe even throwing objects at her. I do not agree with Jade bullying shilpa but i do think this should have been stopped before it became an issue. The media should be covering far more important topics instead of fuelling racism as this will only make the coutries racial issues far greater than they are.
