How can you be warned when she was quoting what somebody else said?

CBBC Big Brother

Yeah...they bleeped her out and then quoted the word themselves.

Pathetic really.

Exactly.BB just offended more people than Carol due to editing.

Because she still used an inappropriate word? I guarantee if they did not blank it out then some people would of been pissed.

You don't say the word even if quoting someone. Not hard to just say "he said the n bomb". Fair warning.

Who said that is the case? It's a fair warning and BB shouldn't of used the word either.

Nope, when it comes to Big Brother there's nothing I hate more than censorship...no profanity should be bleeped and no nudity should be blurred

I obviously disagree with the use of the word but I wouldn't have complained if it weren't censored, the show is meant to reflect what is ACTUALLY being said, and they don't say 'bleep'

I should just clarify my actual issue is with these 'formal warnings' that they'll hand out for anything nowadays. In the past it was just a reminder not to use such terms and a threat of a formal warning if they were to do it again, that was much fairer and would have been much more applicable here

Big Brother themselves quoted what Carol said.

They essentially warned/punished Carol for doing exactly what BB themselves did.

They can state an offensive word because it's in a reference/quote but Carol was doing exactly the same.

PC gone mad.

[Verbal]

A word is a word. She could have told him without using the whole word. Imagine Richard Arnold on Daybreak saying 'On Saturdays Big Brother, Louie said ****' and expect him to get away with it.

Although it was strange that they were seemingly happy for 'big brother' to use it

[Ammi]

..it was a fair warning and she accepted it immediately because she knew she shouldn't have repeated it...

[jackc1806]

They have been the same since CBB5

Trigger happy and **** scared of Ofcom

Why didn't she keep her silly old gob shut?

I've just said this on a different thread , and think that it fits here as well Kizzy!

It's true that I like Ron Atkinson...and am glad to be supporting him [though i'm pleased that he'll probably be evicted on wednesday...because I feel that he is way out of his comfort zone and has already been paid for his appearance anyway]....but my point is that 'BOTH' Carole and Louie were playing a rather obvious game of besmirching a fellow contestants name to the public...and got caught out [well at least one of them did]!...Spence pretending that he didn't know was a pile of crap, taller than he is!!...Everybody has known that Ron Atkinson was going to be on the show for weeks!...Are we supposed to believe that when he found out that he was going to be joining him in the house...that he wouldn't just google big Ron's wiki page and know everything that he wanted to know? [and that goes for all of them!]....Is it a coincidence that Ron was the only housemate that Louie thought "he wouldn't have anything in common with"?...Ha! Ha!...i'll bet that him and Bruce are going to be bezzies!
And it has been twice that McGiffin has brought Ron's past cock-up to our attention in a matter of 1-2 days...in the DR and to Louie...do you not smell a particularly cut-throat game plan from the daytime dragon??

Cheers.

Yes, they are taking the piss.

This year, I dont think there has been one deserved warning (that we have seen)

-Jemima black men thing
- Dexter caravan comment
- Gina beanie snatch/assault

And now this

Its from one extreme to the other. Last year they did **** all when they should have, and this year I feel the housemates should be afraid to sneeze incase they are warned

Agree!

[Jemal]

Wow i could of easily been offended by that and i guarantee other people have been offended. Listen, that lost woman should be using her brain, why the **** couldn't she say he had a race row? Thats all she needed to say.
Fair warning. Get over it.

[karezza]

Is that the only word we are persecuted for saying?

What about when people call women slags and *****s - how is that any less offensive - I don't see bb warning anyone about such blatant sexist language.

It's all pc garbage.

She said that aswell give her another one!

[Lee.]

Absolutely ridiculous! She didn't exhibit any racist behaviour... She quoted somebody else's comments!

[MTVN]

I don't think a "formal warning" was really necessary, just a reminder to be careful with the words she uses because they are offensive, even if she was just quoting someone
