Shilpa victory and what it says about us

[DavidUK]

Is anyone else, like me, encouraged by Shilpa's victory? Hasn't it shown that it's NOT cool to be foul-mouthed, uneducated, inarticulate and aggressive?

Perhaps this will set an example to young people that, to be popular, they should be dignified and treat other people with respect and consideration like Shilpa does.

I totally agree, although being inarticulate and agressive means you have a below average IQ rather than being uneducated.

here, here. Thank goodness for Shilpa.
To applaude/celebrate mediocrity (Jo, Jade & Danelle) is beyond me.

No. It just shows that the voting was fixed in order for C4 to save face.

hear hear hammer head, shilpa only won because of this media frenzy and people trying to prove a point.I'm sure Shilpa herself takes no pleasure in this fiasco, in fact I'm sure she is as bewildered as the rest of them-jade , jo, and the other one:'I'm pretty and charming and can get away with anything(danielle).funny how shes got off scot-free.Anyway shilpa, lovely as she is, would never have won big brother .it wont do her career any harm but i have the feeling she will always feel bad about this.it wasn't her intention.Dont forget a lot of the population might turn against Shilpa. not everyone buys into the tabloids point of view either.it was a moment in time and girls gossiping.the way it has been played out is unbeleivable.I wont be giving those channel 4 loons any more custom, thats fore sure.

DavidUK - Personally I feel that Shilpa's win is due to the public's disgust toward the loud mouthed, uneducated, ill-mannered inmates of the BB house. By all accounts, Shilpa handled herself like a lady when she was in hot water. She is also talented, beautiful and educated, from a respectable family background. Jade Goody's claim to fame is purely based on her appearance on reality TV. Its a shame that a person like this is allowed to become a millionaire.
