Why does Big Brother keep putting aggressive black women in the house? Makosi, Charley and Alexandra?

Question

All making us black women look bad. Fair enough Makosi wasnt aggressive but she still acted a fool.

And now Alexandra flying off the handle because of chips!

Answer 1

Who cares?  Get a life.

Answer 2

Makosi was cool and at least Charley last year could have a bit of a laugh from time to time, Alexandra on the other hand is just a moody cow 24/7. She just gets upset over nothing, I think they just pick certain types of personalities to try and make good TV.

Answer 3

That show is so heavily edited ... the women might really be quiet as anything then one time they'll do something that can be made to look "aggressive" and they replay it from 50 different angles, ten times an hours and suddenly the person looks a certain way.

It's totally manipulated.

Cheers :-)

Answer 4

Makosi was gorgeous. I'd love to slip her one.

Answer 5

Personally I don’t feel I look bad because these people don’t know how to act.  Every one is different; we have different thought processes and emotions.  I think it’s unfortunate that these women haven’t received the help and support they need before it’s publicly aired.  It’s a shame and I feel that their exploitation must be stopped.

I think what they're doing is putting people in who do not know how to deal with others, Alexandra's lack of social skills shines through above everything else.  She seems as though she struggling in the house as no one understands her.

  

She's an angry woman.

The argument about the chips. That was just ridiculous! No rational person could get that upset over a few burnt oven chips, it would have been easier to understand her frustration if they were totally inedible, but they weren't.

I watched the show last night and her behaviour changed, she was trying to give the group encouragement and then when the going got tough and she couldn't deal with the shocks she bailed on the group.  The thing is it was uncomfortable for them all and when people were trying to encourage her, she didn't want to hear it.  She has a need to be the person in control.

The argument about the lighter, I felt she was right, it is her property and Rex should have asked, he shouldn't have just taken it, like her f**s the day before, but rather than just speak about it she shouts people down.  Calling a person “simple” seems to be her main point at every turn.  She’s not shown to be articulate.

I think that the people selecting housemates’ need to work to tougher restrictions, yes Alexandra is a member of society but she has issues she needs to deal with, and they should have been dealt with before she got into the big brother house.

It would be good for people to learn things about themselves but it shouldn't be to the detriment of others.

Answer 6

They want rating dear.  To find someone normal would make the show boring.  Its sad because not all black women act that way.  That show just continues sterotypes because so many people believe what they see on TV.  That is why I am glad I am in the Army sometimes.  I deal with all types of races, colors and religions.  Different cast and backgrounds and upbringings.  If I hadn't I would swear that all spanish women used knives and spoke bad English, would still believe that all white women were whores and white men were geeks and would think that all asians were smart.  Being in the Army I see that all people are different and that race doesn't matter a person is the person they are reguardless of race.  I have seen many white women act aggressive and timid black women.  I have even seen an asian girl beat the snot out of someone.  And for the person who said maybe they are just putting black people in...I hope you don't have children.

Answer 7

Probably for the same reason they are putting dumb blondes and people with mental problems. It's become a fdeak show, put disadvantaged people in there with problems just to make the show more interesting and make money.

Answer 8

i think they are just tryin to make them selves seem nobel or something

she seems to be sayin about the 'real world' and rubbish like that but its all rubbish

Answer 9

Do people seriously still watch this program? I love reality tv but this show is just painful. They purposely choose people that will argue, have a lot of issues or are just plain nuts.

Answer 10

because they are hot and to let the men watch it.

Answer 11

Yes, I asked this question in the BB category....it does seem that they want to portray black Britsh women as offensive, aggressive and downright bitchy/nasty.

I am sure there are black women like that, as there are white women but all I can say is my friend and sister-in-law are black and they aren't like that at all.

Answer 12

I know exactly what you mean!!!

Its ridiculous, I'm starting to think its a set up!

People tell me I look like Charley, so its annoying when they assume I come complete with the attitude problem!

But then again I suppose 'normal' black girls would never even consider going on Big Brother!

Answer 13

Maybe thats how black women are in general, and YOU are the exception? I don't mean that offensively

Answer 14

Perhaps they are not putting aggressive blacks in. Maybe they are just putting blacks in!

Answer 15

Maybe if they'd put in as many black women as they have white women, black women would get better representation.  I mean you can count on one hand the amount of black women who have been in the big brother house - its just unfortunate these women fall right into typical stereotypes.  Furthermore, can you really say that all the white women throughout all the big brother shows have been angels ?

Answer 16

Alex is worst than Charley

Answer 17

To be honest I don't think it is relevant to race. Big Brother just put agressive "entertaining" people in in general. There have been plenty of agressive black men, white men and white women. Alex is though, I must admit, horrible. But we only remember people like her and Charley because they've acted so atrociously, there have been other black women I'm sure, who were not so agressive, what about that other girl who is in now? She seems rather passive, so we don't remember her as much. I for one, do not believe black women are any more agressive than white women. My best friend isn't agressive and I've definitely encountered white women a lot more agressive than Alexandra.

Answer 18

In recent years, the general viewing figures for BB have been a fraction of the audience they had in the early years.  

This means they are mainly left with a very young audience (age range 13-24) and they want to see the fights and bitching so that is what Endimol gives them.

The producers don't seem to realise (or they just don't want to) that, if they put some "normal" people back in, they might start to grab back some of the general viewers who have been alienated by this sort of behaviour.

Answer 19

Why does it always put bimbo white women who pretend to be stupid or overtly camp g*y men ?

Th Media may portray Black people as aggressive, but they are always more than happy to play up to the stereotype.

Answer 20

It's all for entertainment and a good way to educate your self and to get different cultures to mix.

Answer 21

Im a black women and they dont make me look bad as how they act is them...nothing to do with me!  And I think you will find other people who are not black have gone in the house and acted aggressive...the fool...

And NO black women in general are not aggressive to whoever said that they are.

Answer 22

American BB starts in July.  (I can't wait!)  The Black women are no more aggressive than any of the other S****y crybabies on the show.  Your question is in the wrong section.

Answer 23

reinforcement of a negative stereo types is just the TV producer's trying to increase viewing fig. It the people the show attracts and selection processes . they want to gap head lines . besides its the action of the many not the few and you have to ask Ur shelf how do I change why they  express identities as people don't just have none identity  ?  eg  work , Gender ................

Answer 24

I have watched the prog a couple of times ages ago. I found it repulsive nonsense so don't watch it now.

Answer 25

y do you care is only ignorant white people who aint got black friends who will think like that big brother aint gonna change ur the view of black girls that view was always there to those cerain people bb just help them be more ignorant

What every big brother includes

Crazy

Angry Black girl

A sweet couple

Good looking girl and boy

Fat person

******

A g*y person

Answer 26

Because when the viewing numbers go up they figure they will stick with what people watch most, like Jade and then that other blonde bint Nicky who was thick as pig S**t.

It all becomes a bit same old same old.

They should put Pete back in and the twins.

Answer 27

They want to keep negative image of Black people on T.V. They want to keep stereotypes alive. So, that we never move up! It is a way of in-slaving black peoples mines. If black people stay a sleep, the better for them. If we wake up, they have a major problem on there hands. Black race must stay on a low level so, the best way to do this is to brain wash the public as well as your own black people to believe in negative comments about themselves. If we don't like ourselves we will stay down. If we love and admire ourselves we will rise and over come as people.It's just white supremacy riding on. There using house (Ni****rs) to do their dirty work. These house (Ni***rs) don't realize that the negative image includes them also. So, they become victims to their own actions. Sad world! We need to live and grow!

Answer 28

I don"t know but this seem the most boring lot ever,

Answer 29

Big brother is built on stupid innacurate stereotypes of people. cool black guy, aggressive black woman, p**n star boob job white women, g*y guys etc etc. Thats what the show is built on...and it needs to be completely ignored.
