As for Jade, I believe that her application for her visa has been turned down though I can't find the online article now.

The latest seems to be that the authorities in India are stalling on the application while making further enquiries:

I dont know about racism, I havent watched it this time but if you put people together in a confined space - mixture of culture, class, intelligence and life experience will make people go to base level and extreme behaviour. I think most of these z listed 'stars' will regret going on the show. Their careers will all be affected for TV ratings. I think indivialuals are to blame but the TV company have also got to take some criticism for what they do to people. However all of us who watch are watching for extreme behaviour - Jade is a big mouthed chav but is she really any different to many others before her?

wow... i cant believe that i am about to say..... the jade pr machine has gone into overdrive, and she is saying sorry here there and everywhere....
but jo...... was it just me or just did she seem so unrepentant in the interview????
i felt so sorry for cleo..... all the boos..... jo should have been been out on her own.. but since they didn't for jade... i am not surprised that again they took the cowards way out...
what they going to do for danielle and jack????? just get rid of everyone at the same time and leave the winner in.......

Yes.. Davina warned her not to :shock: she would have been lynched!.
I want Jermaine to win, I really really like him. He has a dry sense of humour and a lovely warm smile. Personally tho.. because of all the hype, I think Shilpa will win, and she will deserve it, her dignity is beautiful.

It's very interesting to see that practically no one in this thread thinks Jade was a racist. A viewpoint I happen to share, but was feeling in a very small minority about holding.
For me, to define someone as a racist requires them to dislike and abuse someone solely on the grounds of their race. Jade was threatened by Shilpa's class, beauty and intelligence. She also chose to stick up for her mother - who was far worse than any of the 3 housemates now being pilloried for racism - and much of the hostility came from that.
At school we had a teacher who was vicious bastard and who had a very distinctive voice and accent. Any time he was mentioned someone would copy it and we had some very choice nicknames for him. Indeed, he was so hated I was in the old shit's class for three months before I found out what his real name was! The point is; that's what we do when we don't like someone. We pick on distinctive features, especially those that make us different to the object of our hostility. He was Scottish and so were we, so imitating his accent was not about race and neither was it when done here. It was about isolating a 'foe'.
If you are primed to seek a certain type of offense you'll find it. Our society is so tightly laced on the subject of race it is almost impossible to avoid giving offence to someone over it. There are those who would find the play on words used in a joke earlier in this thread offensive. The most likely to be offended are those who are using it as a means of forwarding a political agenda.
If you want to see some real and truly worrying racism look at many of the comments coming out of the debate over devolution. Tory ministers claiming it to be 'constitutionally unacceptable for a Scot to be prime minister of Britain.' for example, and not a word said about it. To see how racist that is just replace 'Scot' with 'Asian' or 'black' mad

I'm just glad that tolerance and seeing past the tabloid headlines is another trait so many of us share here!
PS I also only watched this abysmal piece of crap as long as this was going on because I wanted to make up my own mind about what was said/done.
