Big Brother in 'Race Row' as Viewers Claim Trish was 'Targeted' After Olivia's 'Sexism' Snipe

Controversy Erupts in Big Brother House

Big Brother, the popular reality TV show, has found itself at the center of a fresh controversy dubbed a 'race row' by viewers. The incident occurred after housemate Trish was blamed for comments made by Olivia.

Sexism Accusations Fly

The controversy unfolded during a shopping task when the housemates were divided into two teams. Each team had to compete against the other in order to win the luxury shopping budget. As part of the task, each team elected a 'Queen Ant,' with Noky and Chanelle being chosen. However, when Chanelle picked only men for a strength challenge, Olivia accused her of being sexist. Trish agreed with Olivia and repeated the comments.

Backlash on Social Media

Following the incident, viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage. Some called for a season of Big Brother without racism, while others criticized the show for allegedly showcasing racism on a micro level.

Concern for Non-White Housemates

This controversy comes on the heels of the recent eviction of Zak, the second non-white contestant to be voted out of the Big Brother house. In an interview, Zak expressed his worry for the remaining non-white housemates, Noky, Trish, and Dylan. He acknowledged the diversity of the current season but noted the challenges faced by non-white contestants in the show.

Big Brother Continues Tonight

Despite the controversy, Big Brother is set to continue tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
