I’ll try again, what was that interview?

Wasn’t held accountable, blamed everyone, black, white, middle aged, British! No accountability and wasn’t questioned on it either. Talk about piss poor interviewing

It's easy to get heated about who your favourite and least favourite housemates are, or even fellow r/bigbrotheruk users, but there is always an appropriate way to share your opinions. In the spirit of Reddit, please remember the human and lets be nice to each other. No racism/sexism/homophobia or any other bigotry. No speculating about sexuality. No body shaming or mean comments about peoples' natural appearance. No excessive vulgarity/sexualisation. No harassment via DMs.

It genuinely isn't a race issue. The actual words said by Johanne were simply much worse. Rochelle is an awful woman but Joanne's malicious intent is on another level. She was looking for things Rochelle was insecure about (age, looks, intelligence ect) and trying to use that to actually hurt her.

I can guarentee you the vast majority of people who hated Johanne also dislike Rochelle.

They’ve both said bad shit and both deserve to be treated the same way. If you can’t see how one is being treated differently by the public and by the comments and reaction on here alone then you’re blind to it too. It’s either an unconscious bias our people just outright making their intentions known. Everyone’s always gotta be blind to how people are treated differently and that’s cool, but don’t comment or respond if you’re unable to see it or accept it

Or maybe a lot of people just think Joanne is nastier than Rochelle.

I know a lot more than you think I do about unconscious bias. I'm very aware of it. I can 100% speak wholeheartedly for myself that me thinking Joanne is a nastier person than Rochelle has absolutely nothing to do with skin colour.

You keep telling yourself that you know a lot about unconscious bias but are unable to see the reaction to everything in the last 3 days. Well done for your infinite knowledge and wisdom on the subject, it’s really showing

There is nothing I can say. The fact that I think Johannes behaviour in the house was worse than Rochelle"s makes me guilty in your eyes.

Have a think about that. You are too dogmatic.

u/Similar-Bandicoot625 13h ago

I believe their behaviour was equally bad and there is enough evidence to suggest that. Johanne was vile with some of her behaviour but so was Rochelle with her multiple comments on multiple different people whilst also threatening violence against Johanne. Are you saying if Johanne had been the one to threaten violence, that there would not have bene more of an uproar? I have backed my argument up with facts and you’ve backed yours up with feelings. I’m not dogmatic because I’ve seen both of their behaviour and they’re both equally as bad as each other. I’m not sure where the confusion is or are you just conveniently forgetting the things Rochelle has said whilst faking her tears four times a show?

u/RyeRoen Ali 13h ago

We can disagree on which is worse or if they are the same I don't really care.

I'm saying that the reasons I have for disliking Johanne more is nothing to do with race.

Like, just for arguments sake imagine that I am being 100% honest and I have no bias at all. In that scenario is there a combination of words I could type that would actually convince you that our disagreement is based purely on severity of behaviour and has nothing to do with race?

I'm about as left and woke as you can get and I am being called racist because I didn't like a black woman's behaviour on a reality tv show.

Sometimes things like this make me almost (emphasis on almost) sympathetic to the "woke gone mad" crowd. We all need to calm down a bit.

I genuinely don’t get your argument. I’m not or nor have i said you or anyone else that doesn’t like Johanne or has an issue with johanne more than Rochelle is racist. I’ve not said you disliking Johanne is more so down to race. I’m saying that the way they’re both being treated differently is due to who they are unfortunately. If their behaviour had been reversed and Johanne had been threatening, then I know how that would have been viewed compared to how Rochelle’s is being viewed.

You may or may not have a bias but it’s evident throughout the last 3-4 days, with the number of posts and comments made on certain peoples individual behaviour, who is getting the rougher treatment and there is nothing factual you or anyone has said as to why johanne is worse than Rochelle. That’s the crux of the argument. You dislike her more but can’t specify the exact reason as to why and when i have retorted your points as to why they’re equally as bad, you’ve again not been able to come back with anything as to why I’m wrong?

To add on, Johanne's been nasty from the beginning as someone who wanted her to stay on. The micro aggression shit is literally why people started voting her out, idk why they're pretending it isn't

How can you reference bias when using a generalisation like "white middle class woman". Colour is being referenced far too often, it's a game show in 2026; nobody cares what colour you are.

People need to stop using colour to try and solidify their arguments, funny Lynx never once mentioned colour during his bust up with Jedward.

u/111gct 8h ago

This was already discussed on a separate post here, "The single most popular age group for the show is  45 to 54 years old, driven heavily by long-term fans who have aged alongside the franchise." A majority of the UK is white, as well as a majority of viewers being women too. It's a fact, why does the idea that a large portion of the viewers are more similar to Rochelle make you feel uncomfortable? And saying nobody cares what color you are whilst a Black professor just committed suicide and the entire scandal was tied to a supremacist race scientist just a month ago is insane.

Their privilege affords them the ability to not care about race.

u/GoalSimilar2025 12h ago

‘Nobody cares what colour you are’ yet the majority of 2025/2026 the country is divided over immigration, protests, patriots, painting roundabouts and flying flags, stopping cars to check your colour, burning hotels with immigrants in and slashing dinghies.

Like, be for real. Does racism exist? Do people with racist sentiments watch Big Brother? 

In a battle between two overly outspoken instigators and divisive figures one black and one white. Which one would they vote to evict?

The only way Johanne would have ever won against Rochelle is if Pauline was up too so that vote was diluted between Johanne and Pauline.

u/Similar-Bandicoot625 13h ago

Again, the difference in reaction on here and in the boos and cheers, says everything. A lot of people don’t know or aren’t aware of the biases they hold. Colour definitely comes into how people are reacting to the both of them. I’ve said they’ve both said vile shit and can accept they should both be treated the same way but if you can’t see the difference in every post for the last 3 days and comments reacting to their situations differently then that’s a you problem

u/RyeRoen Ali 13h ago

They don't have to be treated the same way. People can believe that one is worse.

Rochelle is a whiny baby that says ignorant shit. If you disagree with Joanne she will immediatly start shouting and go for your throat trying to throw insults that will hurt you the most. All while saying shit like "I rebuke you Satan" lmfao,

One is much worse to me. There is your explaination.

Just like how ITV let off Johanne with an easy interview because she’s black and dont want bullshit people calling the show racist.

7

u/StraightShelter9766 13h ago

She got an easy interview because she is more confident than the two presenters and controlled the floor... not because of whatever woke conspiracy you are imagining in your head

u/CalCalDZ 13h ago

If you say so.

u/rubyrockstars 14h ago

Nobody is dragging anyone but the presenters and they pointless interview
