A girl was kicked out of BB back in 2007 for using the N-Word. I don't know how they would have reacted if a black person or mixed race person had used it given it can be used as a greeting/term of affection between two people of that ethnicity although that might be the spelling ending in "a" rather than "er".
But without wanting to get too deep into the use and meanings of the word, I don't like it in any context and will not say it and feel any use of it in music only legitimizes it use by those you use it in a hateful way.
Anyway back to Rodrigo/Max Headroom I guess they might have paid him an advance fee of some kind and his flight and hotel costs so they are reluctant to chuck him out for that reason. Although Biggins got removed for possibly saying something less offensive on an earlier CBB but Biggins likely lives in London so there was less cost outlay in removing him.
I will say in mitigation about Rodrigo - that the black girl Natalie Nunn was talking to him when he said the N-Word and she didn't seem to take offence or it wasn't shown. I'm sure if she had complained then Rodrigo would have been removed.

Based on a first impression of their personalities I actually think this cast could be very entertaining and I will be watching it. Of course I only know a few people in there too but that's always the case. By now we know what level of "celeb" to expect. I was excited to see Kirstie Alley as she seems fun and I want to see what she's like in the house. Then Natalie will be causing drama, guaranteed...

You know, obviously it is a very offensive word, but I don't get why they aired it. They could have bleeped the word. CBB and their double standards...

I thought I read a few weeks ago that Meghan Markle’s delightful sister would be a housemate.
I can decide whether it is a good or a bad thing that did not pan out.

Well, it has been quite a week in the BB house! First Stormy Daniels refused to go into the house at the last minute. Apparently that whole Presidential theme was built around her, which explains it then because I did think that was a bit random. Kirstie is very smartly refusing to talk about religion or politics but will talk about Hollywood and drugs. I didn't know about her views before, they're disappointing. I was expecting her to be different and to be a bigger personality. She does come across well though but is too quiet.
There are 3 potential couples, of which at least 2 would be having affairs. Especially the Jermaine and Chloe thing I find uncomfortable to watch as he's married. I was surprised by who was evicted last night and the house dynamics will change now. Hopefully the talking washing machine will provide us with more entertainment as things could get boring now. Then in the latest news Rodrigo has been removed from the house after a "further incident". When will people learn?

Wonder what Rodrigo did but as he was on a final warning, it might have been a smaller indiscretion unless he was part of a product recall.

Another exit.
Word on the street is that she heard the “get Roxy out” chants last night and didn’t want to face the public.

Emmerdale several years ago apparently.
She’s certainly going to get her 15 minutes of fame with this episode.

She's been in a few theatre productions. Left under suspicious circumstances halfway through most of them. Lots of her co stars coming out now with horror stories.

Sam Attwater tweeting that she falsely claimed he'd hit her during a 'Rocky Horror' tour. I vaguely remember she mysteriously left that tour half way through, so presumably this was linked. Anyone remember? |

What a rollercoaster of an episode. Aside from the TV and magazine interviews she’ll get across the next week or so, I can’t see her ever working again. So many of her ex-colleagues saying about stuff about her - including current Emmerdale and Corrie cast members. What a story for the final Celeb BB though.

Roxanne quit The Wedding Singer suddenly last year but there has been some insinuation that was fired from a role, could have been this one.

She's booked to appear in pantomime at The Pomegranate Theatre, Chesterfield. It maybe the first time the audience will boo Cinderella! |

I have found the whole Roxy thing quite disturbing to watch. This is what a toxic person looks like. They constantly create drama for no reason and wreak havoc in the lives of those around them. She needs to get help, she's not well. Scary stuff!

It's really all rather grubby to be honest. CBB are supposed to do psychological assessments on the contestants and they have famously ignored them in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here too.

Roxanne definitely seems to be a nasty piece of work. I was absolutely gobsmacked watching it play out last night. It was actually frightening seeing how easy it was for her to make people believe she had been the victim of a deliberate assault - she even had the brass neck to demonstrate what Ryan had done (except he hadn't done it!). It's a good job she did all this in a house filled with cameras, or she could have ruined someone's life and career. Actually, the most chilling thing for me was when that was pointed out to her, and she still didn't come clean!
It was good to see how quickly the older Housemates cottoned on to the fact that Roxanne wasn't being completely truthful. Nick played an absolute blinder there!
The people coming forward with their own stories about Roxanne serves to emphasise just what a piece of work she is. It would seem that she's done the "He hit me!" thing at least twice previous to Ryan - Sam Attwater (as mentioned a few posts back) and someone she was in Panto with last year. I suspect her career is now over. No-one will want to run the risk of being falsely accused of anything by her, or generally suffering any nastiness. Would-be employers will be wary, and rightly so IMO.

Just watched last nights. Wow. Just when you think CBB is all washed up, something like that happens.
That moment when the penny dropped for all of the housemates discussing it in the bedroom, and Roxanne walked in on them. That silence and her face.... she totally knew it was all over. Then she changed tack and started talking about what it felt like “to me in that moment” instead of what actually happened with the play fight (which from what I can see in the clip he barely touched her if at all).
The diary room confessionals. Her doing all of the eye mopping yet not a tear in sight, whereas Ryan appearing genuinely and completely broken.
But most of all, his reaction when he heard the Get Roxy Out chants. I actually filled up. That poor poor man being put through that. It brought home completely how anyone would feel being false,y accused of something, then finding out that you’re believed. It will be the making of him. As for her.... what did she say about she’d rather work in a corner shop for the rest of her life? I’m not sure a corner shop would have her.

Sure, her name was hardly selling tickets before, but now it’ll actively reduce sales! I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s put on gardening leave from her radio job either and just quietly let her go at the end of her contract. |

As for her.... what did she say about she’d rather work in a corner shop for the rest of her life? I’m not sure a corner shop would have her. Completely agree. The thing is Roxy knew to keep it away from the older crowd, because all of the younger are from reality tv that relies heavily on dragging things out via conservation... plus anyone with half a brain knows B.B. would have instantly removed anyone who violently punched another housemate! I loved the older guys though... Nick telling her to tell the truth, Hardeep snapping at her, Sally serving her a dose of reality (with a side portion of ‘you best get going now’) to Kirsty just needing a moment at the end of the day to take everything in. BB played it well too - telling Dan at the exact right moment to really consider why Ryan was still in the house. As soon as Roxy said she wanted to go, I swear I heard them unlocking an iPhone to order an Uber! They didn’t even try to talk her around or ask her to sleep on it. It it was a hard episode to watch but one of the best BB episodes in years. Ryan has totally won this. |

Just announced that Roxy will be doing an exit interview with Emma during tomorrow’s live eviction. Hope she has good PR people because she’s gonna need coaching.

The word on everybody’s lips... ….Is toxic! My, my, she's quite a piece of work isn't she. I've been reading up on her and it appears she has made this kind of allegation before. How does she get away with it? Is she such a "star" that she can be indulged to this extent or is trouble maker her raison d'etre? Trouble is that in the business we call show, people have had successful careers on this kind of notoriety (sadly!). |
