Spare me
I thought it was a bit weird from the start that Farida's intro VT was essentially just about how she's muslim. Almost like the editors don't know any muslims so found it such a novelty to focus on, which then seemed to be reflected in them using up time in the programme to show her praying and the discussions about halal food/not drinking alcohol. As someone who lives and works in very multicultural areas, it's so run-of-the-mill to me that I found it weird for them to focus on it so much - a bit 'othering'. It was something I'd expect to see in the early 2000s, just with the 2020s awareness that you shouldn't talk shit about it. I wasn't remotely a Farida fan and am glad she's gone (although I'd have preferred to lose Kerry first), but the way she was treated made me quite uncomfortable.Yeah I feel like there have been opportunities to discuss a few "controversial"/politicised topics but they have avoided it
- Yinrun's comment about how people in the house haven't been talking to her seems to be very reflective of what a lot of students from China experience. Instead it was sort of glossed over as "oh that's sad"
- People not being understanding of Farida's religion and making some comments that were a bit questionable. It would have been interesting to hear (imo) whether she felt that the producers catered to her needs well too - it was mentioned last night that there is a prayer room - and generally how she felt within the house and whether she felt like there were microaggressions against her (I think a guest was trying to prompt the conversation that way)
- Paul has clearly said a lot of things that haven't been aired
- The comment Farida made to Henry about boarding/private schools and the way he took it was interesting
The diverse cast is obviously there for a reason and some people are there specifically to cause some tension with other people. Yet it seems that a lot of this tension is not being shown in full or at all - someone pointed out that it was mentioned that BB had to remind Kerry of the diversity training they had for example - which sort of makes the diversity of the cast feel a bit pointless imo
The praying shot was weird given that it's now been confirmed that there is a praying room for her. Though I'd be interested to know how they worked around telling her when it's time to pray (as she obviously wouldn't know the time), especially in the mornings when the housemates would probably be sleepingAlmost like the editors don't know any muslims so found it such a novelty to focus on, which then seemed to be reflected in them using up time in the programme to show her praying and the discussions about halal food/not drinking alcohol.
Yes! Exactly what I was going to post. I avoid the late show cause I can't stand AJ, but I feel the highlights show is showing "filler" and it's the late show that has all the "main", if that makes sense lolI only watch the highlights show, I watch it the next day after work as I’m usually in bed earlyBut I feel like they’re not really highlighting the best stuff - half the things I know about the contestants I’ve found out through the chat on here about the live show etc ! Just showing the task the last few days has been boring.
Controversial , but I absolutely loved BBOTS when Russell Brand hosted it. It used to be absolute chaos, the audience and panelist’s weren’t afraid to give their opinion , and Russell really hyped them upI loved BBBM and bit on the side but late and live is too boring for me. The audience seems mute
yep, I’m also neurodivergent (autism) and I definitely get this vibe from Jordan. I think he’s hilarious!I love him
He is so dry and so deadpan but comes out with some hilarious quotes.
He reminds me so much of someone I know who is neurodivergent and while frustrating at times he is a wonderful human who will tell you like it is
Was what BBOTS?Controversial , but I absolutely loved BBOTS when Russell Brand hosted it. It used to be absolute chaos, the audience and panelist’s weren’t afraid to give their opinion , and Russell really hyped them up
