Ziggy said the N word [same word as Emily used] And BB just edited the whole thing out to avoid another race row. Surely it is unfair on Emily, she was booted out and Ziggy wasnt.

Following this, Ziggy immediately apologised to fellow Housemate and eventual winner of the series, Brian Belo. Brian, who was present when Ziggy quoted the lyric, told Ziggy not to worry, explaining: "We've lived with each other for 11 weeks and I know you're not like that."
A spokesman told the Sunday Mirror: "Channel 4 acted swiftly and appropriately to tell Ziggy that racially offensive language would not be tolerated under any circumstances. Ziggy was told that any further transgression would mean his immediate eviction.
"We gave careful consideration to the context of Ziggy's offence. Ziggy was repeating a lyric from a song and his words were not directed at anyone. Nobody in the house was offended and the incident was not broadcast, so no offence was caused to viewers."
Ziggy confirmed: "I apologised to Big Brother. It was purely lyrics from a song. It was never my intention to cause offence to anybody."
------------------------------
basically just read that
He was singing a song, Emily actually pretended to be a black person and said it.
They only did it so they didn't lose money. If they'd evicted Ziggy they'd have to give a refund to everyone who'd voted for him to win because the lines were already open
Channel 4 dont make a profit from voting this year. Also, when Emily was ejected for using it, they offered full refunds for people who were already voting to vote out Emily and Shabnam. So they would have done if they thought it necessary.Quote:

Charley said it too, nothing happened to her.
I didn't know C4 weren't making profit? What are they doing with the money then?Quote:

emily wasnt unfairly treated. ziggy was. if she said it she deserves to get kicked out. no matter what content you use it in its still a racist word. he said it so he should've also been kicked out.
Well, Big Brother wouldnt kick knowone out.
Theyd have to deal with refund all people who paid for him to win..
And thats HASSLE
big brother is a reality show
people say the word "*****" all the time in reality
pointless much?
maybe they blanked it out because after it no-one was talking about it but when emily said it they talked about it, and maybe something "interesting" happened whilst they were talking about it.
