Jade Goody in Indian Big Brother?

[Treacle Toes]

It's a PR stunt to raise the ratings for both shows.

Regardless, Betty's right it will be an embarrassment for Jade.

 

[Dillinger4]

Poor cow- is her agent insistent on making a fool out of her.....

Yep.

 

[Guineveretoo]

What are the two shows?

I can believe that they want to put a British celebrity in to the house in India, but I don't know if it would really raise the ratings, would it? What is the other show?

yep, that was my thought too.

let's all point and laugh at jade all over again....

 

[Rollem]

got to be a wind up surely.

if not, i hope she wins

 

[cesare]

I didn't say anything about her accent or class origins. She is a foul mouthed racist, judging from her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. That's what I meant! And I stick by it. I really hope that people watching the programme do not think that everyone in this country is as ignorant or foul mouthed as she is.

I'm glad you clarified that because when Dilli said 'she can barely speak English' you replied with 'indeed'.

I don't like what she said and did - not at all - but the thread started by having a go at her spelling and vocabulary.

Casual racism of the kind that she displayed is not atypical/a rarity btw.

Why?

They put an Indian celebrity (Shilpa Shetty) into the house here, so why not the reverse?

It can only increase interest in Big Brother and Bigg Boss. It's news, publicity etc. It's a stunt.

Jade may be a celebrity in India, I imagine for all the wrong reasons though.

 

[Fictionist]

So. What?

There are plenty of poorly educated people in this country, and guess what - sudden rises to fame and money don't necessarily mean that whatever levels of social deprivation you had in your childhood/young adulthood get magicked away.

This might well be true but given the fact that she presumably has a large disposable income she could - if she wished to - undertake a period of study which might help to widen and broaden her intellectual and (perhaps more importantly) cultural horizons.

 

[zoooo]

Don't some Indians speak English as their first language anyway?
Or is that actually quite a small area of India.

1st language or no zoooo, whilst I was in India I had my English questioned/corrected many times by average folk on the street.

Don't know what they'll make of Jade. I think it's a terrible PR idea and a emotional disaster waiting to happen. They'll pick her to shreds.

 

[zoooo]

The people actually in the house might feel sorry for her and be quite nice. Treat her as some sort of pet.

Expect the public will hate her though.

...and that's nice? How?

 

[mhwfc]

I just pray we don't get it on Channel 4. The British one is bad enough without Jade Goody.

If true sadly I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on E4 at least, the ratings of the UK version have declined since the Goody series of Celebrity Big Brother, if she gets on alright in there they'll be glad of the PR

 

[zoooo]

...and that's nice? How?

Oh everyone is so uptight in this thread!!! (j/k)

Jade is thick, we've established that. Whether or not that's her fault, or whether or not that's a bad thing, is apparently up in the air.
But her (definite) thickness will prevent her from being offended by pet like treatment. She will interpret it as niceness.

Everybody wins!

 

[pogofish]

It seems unlikely, but the BBC reckon that Jade Goody is going to be in the Indian equivalent of Big Brother!

I would think that is highly likely - It was the fuss kicked-up around her that made the Indian TV network rethink its decision to cancel the prog due to miserable ratings.

Jade goes to India was also in production not long after she left the house back then.

Does anyone really not believe that the whole thing was complete fix?

She's so 'thick' and you observe that from the relative obscurity of a bulletin board

She's streetwise and pretty smart. She's the one in the limelight remember.

 

[zoooo]

I always really liked her actually, she was fun (until the whole 'debacle') but she is thick, I'm sorry.
I can't see the point in denying it.

But it's true, I wouldn't say it to her face. Not with her mum. She may quite literally kill me.

 

[cesare]

Yes, she maybe could. But she might opt for the practical approach.

Bollocks did you like her Or if you did, in that patronising, 'oh, she's quite fun really, quite quaint in her thick way' fashion

I don't like her but I don't think she's thick, and I don't think she's naive, and I think she might have more up there than you give her credit for.

 

[elbows]

If done carefully this is not just supposed to be PR for the programme, but the masterstroke in the rehabilitation of her image. For all of her faults she had got to a position of being some sort of strangely marketable brand, became a cash cow, but the cow obviously got very sick after the celebrity big brother political correctness failure of epic proportions. She's already done a few projects that looked like attempts to rebuild her image on that front, although thankfully I cant remember what they were.

Done wrongly, it could be a total trainwreck that could be the end for her. Will they have taken such a risk? Unconvinced, lets see what situation they actually put her in if she really does appear on the program.

 

[zoooo]

No I genuinely did like her! She's very sweet and some of her personality traits are endearing. I loved it when she was talking to Spencer about East Angular etc.
It wasn't even her that was the big old racist in BB, it was that Danielle Lloyd woman.
Jade wasn't exacty saintly though, she clearly had some worrying views as well. But it's a shame she took all the flak - just as she was the most famous of the three girls.

 

[pk]

She's a vile piece of shit.

 

[Treacle Toes]

She has great teeth.

 

[Flashman]

Horrid bugger, though with a mum like that it's not surprising. Her fella was a frakwit too, along with Lloyd and that one from S Club.

Hope she falls flat on her arse.

Not exactly difficult...

Sorry, caesre, but you seem to be having a go at everyone because they disapprove of jades racist behaviour. I reckon that you are doing this in order to seem "different" and "above it all".

Well, you're wrong. If you think that casual racism is acceptable because it isn't rare, your wrong. In fact, you're a fucking moron.

Don't go defending Jade Goody out of your pretension towards intelectual snobishness. If someone goes on TV (especially with the profile of JG) and makes blatantly racist coments, then they deserve everything they get.

 

[pk]

I don't think Cesare was being particularly snobby then...



You two got past history or something?

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Dunno about past history. A lot of people seem to not like me, despute my short time on this site... But to me, at best, he was playing devils advocate. At worst, he was trolling. Either way, he was defending racism. IMO, it is never acceptble.
