Has there been any Ofcom complaints about this year's CBB yet? I really like Stephen but I bet a few have probably complained about his preaching?
Does anyone know please?

I've written over a dozen Ofcom complaints over the years regarding Big Brother.
I'm currently in the process of writing another one about CBB7. This time it's about the anti-Christian bias which we've seen in the highlights show so far. They're focussing too much on people saying negative things about Christianity (like Heidi and Sov) and challenging Stephen, instead of showing the good bits about Stephen's Bible readings.
This is unfair editing and is portraying my faith in a negative light. This isn't up to fair editorial standards set out by Channel 4, and I'm frankly disgusted by what I've seen in the last few days.
I'm also going to complain about the poor safety hazard for Stephen's mouse trap task. He was not given any safety advice beforehand and could have injured himself. This is not on Big Brother!

I complained 3 times during CBB5 about the racism. But I've not seen any racism this series.
There's been much more anti-Christian bias in this series which is unacceptable.

Ok beast... Here's one of my complaints to Ofcom during BB10. I was livid back then:
To Ofcom,
I am sending you another complaint regarding Channel 4’s Big Brother.
I feel that the editing of the show has been completely manipulated in such a huge manner, that the viewing public and voters are being lied to, suggesting a breach of broadcasting regulations.
On the Big Brother live feed on Sunday 5th July at 00:41am, there was a conversation between the housemates Lisa, Karly and Dogface about nominations. The trio were clearly talking about nominations in code (including the covering of her face from Lisa), which is in breach of the fundamental Big Brother rule stating: “It is not permitted to discuss nominations, or try to influence anyone else’s nominations.”
If Big Brother had acted accordingly to the rules, the trio would have been punished. This punishment has altered in the past, but has frequently been the exclusion of nominations from housemates involved with such a breach.
However, in the transmission of the episode on Sunday evening, the conversation was completely missed out by the editors. This is a serious violation of the rules regarding “fair editing” of the show.
As a result of not showing this conversation, the housemates were not shown breaking the rules and Big Brother took no action. This is a blatant cover up to the public and the voters.
Therefore, the competition rules have been infringed by the editors as viewers are told to vote to evict people who perhaps should not be up for the vote if the appro[riate action was taken from Big Brother.
This is a clear breach of regulations (as I have said previously), and I hope you can investigate this fully as otherwise voters are spending money on a competition which is unfair and heavily biased.
I hope that the matter can conclude in a way whereby the appropriate companies including Channel 4, Brighter Pictures and Endemol, are fined for their lies.
I hope to receive a reply soon,
Gavin

As for Gavin, what a plonker. If you complain about reality TV then you're unhappy with life and the world in general, as it is an accurate representation.
The mouse trap task was NOT dangerous - the mouse traps didn't have spikes under them so it was basically a spring-loaded metal bar which would cause a slight "slam" to his finger if he had not of moved it away.

I do have a life. And I am entitled to complain to Ofcom when I see fit to do so.
The mouse trap was a massive safety hazard. Stephen could have had his figner caught in one of them and it would have caused severe damage to his metacarpals.

Stop labelling Christians as "bible freaks". That's so rude!
You do realise that over 70% of our population are Christian, so you're inferring that 70% of Brits are "bible freaks".

Just to clarify I didn't say you didn't have a life so don't play victim.
Secondly, no. I work in a general store and have to deal with mousetraps in the back of the building and even when I've trapped my finger in them they do NOT hurt at all, they're very easy to prize off in fact. Just that a mouse's body is very soft and could crush them with the sheer force of the spring.
