Very recently - thank Jen. 
I did, in Lori's thread.

Absolutely agree. I just think, if it was me, I'd be careful (in this day and age) as to how I explained my preferences.
I don't really have any...if they're good looking and rich enough and I was single.....I'd be in like Flint
Well there is that. Although blonds would have to try a bit harder on that score (for me).
To think that Conor got off with so much more last year.

Yes.... so was the *I wouldn't go out with a Chinese guy*
She'd be lucky if any guy found her attractive

Yeah , that was a bit telling

Maybe Gina is a mole too, put in there to cause arguments
hearing it read back does not sound good 
It is offensive .

yes - disgusting but perhaps the tons of complaints to Ofcom - made them think about it

agree very dodgy in this day and age
The assumption of Gina not going for a white guy was out of order.
Jemima is thick, and should really think before she speaks. Gina shouldn't have even wasted time arguing with her..

I never went for blondes...but I married one

That's why they are clamping down this year, I think!

Which caused a furore. I think that's why they are handing out warnings this year.

I was very surprised at the number of people who sympathised with Gina last night. If nothing else, tonight's at least balancing things: she's still coming across as very self-centred and selfish.
If Jemima is working with what shes got shes unemployed.

Ditto, as I as said Jemima is thick.

Formal warning? Ridiculous.
PC gone mad
Sophie "is she fick?"

it is offensive and but i think it is thoughtless comments in the heat of an argument rather than openly rascist comments- she didn't say i only like white men

It's the "Emily" situation all over again. I really wish she'd done a "Marcus" and told BB off for over-playing the "race" card...

She should and BB were right to issue her the warning.

yep.... and adds weight to what Gina had been saying....
I'm sure Jemima's really not that fussy when it comes to it (does she have much option????).

yes but as Erin pointed out - look what conor said and got away with and walked away with a load of dosh as well - was mild in comparison to what he said IMO

Marcus was brilliant when BB tried to say he'd been racist.

that was the worse bit i think but Gina probably incensed her

I agree.
No matter how Gina spun it, it was BB who had the tape evidence.
BB made the decision as to what was offensive and/or out of order.

I thought it was over reaction but when BB read it back it was wrong what she said .I understand what she was trying to say ,but she worded it wrongly.
I do agree that Gina jumped on it and ran with it .

If she's a goldigger, the only option is a blind 90 yr old whose nurse has gone on holiday

He had his moments

A word of warning would have probably sufficed. Lesson learned; subject to be avoided in future. Hey ho!

yes totally agree Erin - as you said Conor said far worse and got away with it
