Bit disappointed that some housemates used Heavy's obvious obsession with food as a reason to nominate him I'm sure there are plenty reasons to nominate him without bringing food into it

[ThriceShy]

Because he is a bloke it is considered fine. If they were all nominating a woman for that reason then there would be uproar.

First thing youve said that I agree with!

not a peep about it

[Headie]

No one commented on his weight though, they pointed out that he takes/eats more food than the rest of them, which is fair enough considering everyone should get an equal share of the shopping budget.

Of course he is going to eat more, would you expect Katie to the same amount as Heavy? It's just a PC way of saying he is greedy and by association ...fat

I thought they said he was greedy.....it's not necessarily the same thing....not saying you are wrong but I didn't see it that way....food is valuable commodity in that house...its currency.... Bear waiting food and Heavy always grabbing for more annoys all them in the same way ...they are constantly telling Bear off for it and he's not a big guy.

[Xanzia]

Big fan. After his lean nomination speech for Renee, i do not see him as fat at all, unless you are calling winston churchill a fat bastard too!

Heavy got his own food from the shopping budget this week though that wasn't shown on the HLs only Bears shopping, so to nominate him for being greedy when he got his own food is fat shaming in my eyes

Too true.

[erinp5]

Not about his weight, it's about him being greedy .

Yes, exactly- it is what is being inferred that is the problem. I think there was some discomfort in Heavy at what was being said during nominations, and this might have been part of the reason he threw food all over the floor- if it's on the floor, he can't feel ashamed or guilty about eating it.

Yeh, I was thinking this too when I opened the thread..

[fitz2k2]

well hey they bashed chloe fake tits constantly

[Garfie]

If they chose their own food, was it actually the food he purchased that he threw over the floor, rather than the communal food? Coco-Pops surely wouldn't be communal food?

I'm not disagreeing with you ...if he only eats his own food then he should be allowed to do what he wants with it and not be nominated for it ....there just seems to be some opposition from others, some of whom I wouldn't expect to pick on him for his size...but I've said they're not a very nice group and are mostly insincere so your theory is just as likely as mine....I'm only guessing after all.

I remember Cristian in BB16 being nominated for a similar reason that he was greedy and used to eat too much food and take food of other people's plates or s/t.

I don't think they were weight shaming him. Being greedy and being fat are two different things.

[hot2go]

Sometimes when someone is big they are excused for things that slimmer people wouldn't get away with...I thought Gemma Collins was lazy but it was often dismissed as fat shaming ...when in fact she was just lazy

That's true, but the difference is that the fake boobs are something she made a conscience decision to add to her body, rather than being something she naturally is or has become. To me, there is a subtle difference.

[MB.]

Also Sam was voted the most greedy in BB17 and he's hardly The Biggest Loser

Thats a good observation, possibly he threw the food he had purchased on the floor as he was upset by the greedy comments? Something sparked it which wasn't shown as they want to save Lewnie

[kirklancaster]

I have no problem with anyone eating huge amounts - it is ALL the considerable food and drink which has been thrown on the floor and wasted which I have a problem with.

I think it is time that BB punished ALL the house and put them on beans and rice until further notice.

This WOULD create proper drama.

Great example....food causes more arguments in BB then anything else...always has. It's the only thing they all look forward to...it's the main focus of each day....if it's disrespected it pisses people off, that's why Bear targets the food cause he knows it annoys them.

You can be a skinny person and eat a ton and vice versa. They nommed him for being greedy, not fat
