The 35-year-old human Ken Doll casually dropped the offensive word into conversation on Friday and was given a final warning by Channel 5 bosses.
He apologised the following day and said he was drunk but people at home called for Channel 5 bosses to boot out.
Speaking afterwards on CBBBOTS, Rylan claimed Big Brother "dealt with it" and asked Carol Griffin to explain what it's like to receive a final warning.
The former Loose Women host was given a slap on the wrists back in 2013 when she called fellow CBB housemate Charlotte Crosby a Geordie s**g, and said: "You don't want to be thrown out for something silly like that. It does make you feel stupid, because you are warned about everything before you go in.
"It does make you feel like you've been sent back to school and told off by the headmaster."
Chloe chipped in and said she thinks Rodrigo is a nice person and didn't mean what he said.She told Rylan: "I think he's a very nice person, and I feel like he didn't mean to say it. I really really like him and I think he didn't mean to say it. But he did say it."
Viewers took to Twitter in their droves and claimed the show was downplaying Rodrigo's racist remark.
One person said: "Carol and Chloe trying to downplay and make excuses for what Rodrigo said is unbelievable and unacceptable"
Another person added: "What do you mean, he didn't mean to say it? He said it twice, and so casually that it's probably something he is comfortable with saying."
As a third person added: "Something silly???? SILLY? McGiffen is an idiot. Racism is not something silly!"
Rodrigo used the N-word as he chatted up Dan Osborne.
He asked Dan: "Are you married? The girls want to know, not me, you're not my type anyway. No for God's sake.
He added: "I like a n**** boy, he's too white for my sake. I like a n**** boy."
Dan looked taken aback, but nobody mentioned what he had said and the episode moved on to the housemates getting ready to go to sleep.
