Complained to Ofcom about last nights episode

[Callum]

Never felt compelled to complain through OFCOM before but last night's episode was the most uncomfortable viewing ever. Conor should have been removed, people have been removed in previous seasons for much less worse (Emily BB8 is a prime example). I just had a feeling that their treatment of Deana would get worse and I was right, it's now just as bad as the Shilpa treatment in CBB5.

Before anyone starts accusing me of wanting Big Brother off air, that is not what I want. BB is one of my favorite shows and despite last night's episode I do not want to see Big Brother get axed again. All I want is for the violent thug Conor to be removed and the whole house or the gang who yesterday discussed nominations in code to be put up for eviction this week. If the nominations stay the same then it just shows that the producers completely favor the vile gang and clearly want one of them to win. Conor showed no remorse for his actions after his chat with Big Brother and the thug should not be able to get away with this unscathed. I also feel that Caroline and Becky should get warnings for hiding Deana's epilator again, completely unprovoked "prank" which wasn't done for a laugh, it was done in pure malice.

[jaythegeek]

Well at least they showed what a thug conner is. They could have edited it out.
He seriously should have gone for that, it was worse than others have done and gone for.

[mizzy25]

agree with everything u have said

[Callum]

Well at least they showed what a thug conner is. They could have edited it out.

Yeah, agreed. I find it unbelievable that he's still in the house, what sort of message is that sending to future applicants and young viewers of the show? Oh, you can say whatever you wish, bully a housemate if you like. You'll get a mild warning for it but we won't remove you or even put you up for eviction. :bored:

Another reason I complained to OFCOM was because what's the point of complaining to Channel 5? They never reply and they never listen to us regardless so it would have been pointless. At least with OFCOM there's a chance I'll get a reply.

[cfromhx02]

Well done for reporting it by the way.

I agree with everything the OP said except as it's difficult for BB to prove they were talking in code, I thin k that's why they are letting that slip.

I completely agree with everything the OP says about Conor and have been calling for pressure to be brought on BB s main site,twitter and Facebook to achieve his immediate removal.

As the code case can't be proven easily, and as I totally agree it has appeared that BB favour the nasty side (anything as long as it gives them more ratings and money) then if they do nothing to punish the rulebreakers then it confirms they want one of the nasty side to win.

As Caroline (who was also behind abuse of Deanna) and Ashleigh both broke the rules and the whole house is getting punished, I've been calling for the immediate removal of Conor plus the putting up for eviction of Caroline and Ashleigh.

We could maybe allow Deanna back in for another week if she wants to of course, because the vile Arron and Luke S,and Becky are still there, but it could be left up to her.Anyway,please everyone cause a storm at BB,twitter and Facebook, and call for the removal of Conor,and the putting up of Caroline and Ashleigh and maybe the putting back in of Deanna if she loses this Friday or just cancel the announced vote for this week and instead only have a vote on Caroline and Ashleigh.

Everyone on this forum and on DS know they were speaking in code, the producers know it as well. Housemates have discussed nominations through code in almost every series and BB are usually quick to reprimand them, they were actually less subtle about it in previous seasons yet BB still put them all up for eviction. The whole house or the gang who were discussing nominations in code should face eviction.

[karezza]

Let's destroy BB - complain to OFCOM.

[fruit_cake]

Let's destroy BB - complain to OFCOM.

Perhaps some things are more important than a television program. If BB has become about condoning and justifying that kind of sick behavior, then we're better off without it frankly.

[waterhog]

the good must come through and it must be seen this way - they must not let nasty bits of work like conor get away with it. i have just wrote a poem about conor and if he is a nasty bit of work but as i see you have raised this issue.

[Petershaw1984]

Ive emailed ofcom too, first time ever for me, dont know what it will do though

[Gstar]

It's the fact that they don't care about being punished because they know it will be mild.

When BB sat them down on the sofas last night to tell them off about nominations most of them were smiling/laughing because they knew the punishment was gonna be rubbish, they're just making a fool out of big brother and I don't blame them.

TOO SOFT

Yeah, they are way too soft on them. Ever since it's moved to Channel 5 they have been. It needs to get back to tough BB where rule breaks mean housemates are put up for eviction.

[Adamw92]

When Big Brother announced the no alcohol thing last night, I literally rolled my eyes "Big Brother takes rule breaking very seriously".

Whatever. :rolleyes:

[Munchkins]

I have complained to Ofcom and the Sponsors

Hopefully action will be taken to this vile behavior...

[Livia]

I usually roll my eyes when people say they've complained to Ofcom... but I have to say, well done to those people who felt strongly enough. Last night was really appalling to watch.

[Brother Leon]

Blue Peter badge for you sir.

[smeagol]

i complained and i always think people who do are sados's which mostly they are. but that in bb last night was just plain mental that they didnt remove him. i said he should of been removed for threating benedict how many chances they want to give. or are they waiting till he does soemthign for real or says somethign worst whats next from this guy racisim or something who knows he is unstable though , too risky keepign him in anyway
its bb's fault they should have no tolerance for that kind of thing. empty threats fine let it go. but that was way over that.
The enjoyment of the show is runed for me . how can you enjoy a programme with scum like that allowed to stay, bb are either very naive or extremely thick. as now they are in trouble which they could of and SHOULD of avoided. and still could sort it if they act quick.

[Callum]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[hijaxers]

I have complained to Ofcom and the Sponsors

Hopefully action will be taken to this vile behavior...

I have also complained to Ofcom about conor and BB and its the 1st time i've ever complained.

[flamingGalah!]

Well done.

I was absolutely disgusted by Conor last night & actually shocked by what he said. It beggars belief that they didn't remove him from the house & what is perhaps more shocking is the support for him that is STILL there from many idiotic teenage girls! :shocked: I can only imagine what sort of blokes these girls will end up with as if Conor says stuff like that when he knows he is being watched by millions, what on earth would he say/do behind closed doors in the outside world?!? :nono:

This vile thug needs to be removed.

well let's hope channel 5 get inundated with 'complaints' then maybe they will feel BB is not worth investing in and scrap it all together which I can see happening,people will spite themselves in the end.

I'm not going to comment on the complain to ofcom etc. but I toatlly agree with you here.

If you actually read my post I clearly said that I do not want to see the show axed again, I am not one of these people who complains about every little detail of a program but I do want to see Conor removed from the house.

[smeagol]

all bb need to do is the right thing and everyone will be happy. there failure not to do anything is the problem here. if they want to risk it being axed thats their lookout. they are out of order letting him stay. simple as that

[Callum]

Just watching the repeat now on Channel 5 and notice that they've edited out Conor's rant about Deana, wonder why that is. :rolleyes:

It's not because it contained swearing either before someone posts that because the swearing is just bleeped out on the repeat, they don't cut out entire segments if there's a swear word involved.

Probably because it involved a sexual gesture (him shoving a hairbrush up and down)

[Marcus.]

I used to see the happy side of every thing but this is not funny

Thanks, it decided to work this time so I've sent my complaint :D

[reece(:]

I've sent mine, I was severely disgusted that they've allowed his behavior to stay with just a minor telling off.. I also mentioned how the programme are bias as clear favouritism has been shown.

[InOne]

At the end of the day it's a TV show, they're there for our entertainment. I felt bad for Deana but it's not like I know her or anything, I think BB should just leave it up to BB what happens. This is why we ended up with a kids show at the end of channel 4.

[Jarrod]

They reacted badly to the situation. Conor should have without a doubt been removed from the House. That's a fact.

[Bluerang1]

Urgh me too but I feel bad. It's like we're picking on Conor now :/

[reece(:]

Apparently BB sponsors have demanded a meeting with Endomol.

[Munchkins]

Apparently BB sponsors have demanded a meeting with Endomol.

I heard that too, i just hope its from an official source, and not just a rumour..

I bet they are pissing themselves silly at C5 at some of the drivel landing in their inbox. :joker:

I doubt it, most people find it disgusting, unlike you...

[g17m]

I really hope the sponsors do drop the show, I dont want rid of BB, but this behaviour cannot be tolerated, as was said on BOTS, this behaviour wouldnt be tolerated on the outside, so why is it in the house? As much as conor's behaviour sickens me, i dont think Channel 5 will do anything about it, this is exactly the sort of controversy they want, and having Deana have to live with all that crap and abuse just for a couple more viewers and sales of the daily ****e, is disgusting and channel 5 should be ashamed

[billy123]

I doubt it, most people find it disgusting, unlike you...And how the **** would you know what i think of it? just because im not behaving like a shrieking schoolgirl about it dont presume you know what i think of it. :nono:

[CharlieO]

What is wrong with you. It's a tv show. Why would you waste your short life bothering to complain.

The BB team remind me of old fashioned school teachers. One child talks nominations so every one is punished. Ridiculous.
If they wanted to stop the talk it should be,'Talk nominations and you are up for eviction'.

[Kazanne]

If you actually read my post I clearly said that I do not want to see the show axed again, I am not one of these people who complains about every little detail of a program but I do want to see Conor removed from the house.

And if you read mine clearly ,neither do I,but I can see it happening if people react like this all the time.Conor SHOULD be thrown out,BB will deal with it if they feel he warrants it.

Yes because Deana is so naive and innocent and not at all a fame *****?

Its a frigging tv show fgs.

Dont you people have lives?

[Callum]

What is wrong with you. It's a tv show. Why would you waste your short life bothering to complain.

Nothing is wrong with me. I like many others feel that Conor's behavior was out of order last night, it crossed a line and I'm allowed to complain if I so wish.

[Callum]

You're a saddo.

Well done for becoming one of the Pc brigade. Im sure you will run the show into the ground very soon.

Personal attacks are against the rules. I am allowed to complain if I so wish, many others have done so. If you clearly read my post you would see that I do not want to see Big Brother axed and I'm certainly not one of the PC brigade. Conor crossed a line last night and he should be removed.

[reece(:]

If people don't expect others to be offended by such vulgar remarks they're living in a very small world.

[Redway]

I usually roll my eyes when people say they've complained to Ofcom... but I have to say, well done to those people who felt strongly enough. Last night was really appalling to watch.

Exactly. For once I'm actually supporting those who complained and that's a first.

Ignore him. He clearly isn't worth your time if he has to resort to childish name calling because he doesn't agree with what you did. I have to say well done for having the courage to go that extra mile if you really felt that way about yesterday's episode.

[Enid]

Okay, no matter how abusive or nasty someone is, never complain to Ofcom. That should be the unwritten rule amongst BB fans.

There's a lot sadder you can get than taking the time to complain about a show, coming on a forum to insult someone for something like this being one of them.

[IheartBB]

Congratulations! We're now one step closer to getting Big Brother off our screens for good :hello:

:crazy:

You're on the right forum then, aren't you.

[Tom4784]

Complaining is a bit tragic really, if you want to make an impact then don't watch it.

You know what's sadder than coming on a forum to complain about someone complaining? Coming on a forum to complain about someone complaining about someone complaining :idc:

[Callum]

Nope, I shouldn't have to and besides even if I did stop watching, not enough people would stop watching for it to make any impact. They should remove Conor.

Although I haven't personally complained I see why people have.

Yep. A lot of idealism. Zero realism.

lol

[Callum]

Yep. A lot of idealism. Zero realism.

Well it should be realism. Why shouldn't he be removed? Housemates in previous seasons have been removed for much less worse offenses, he's been given a mere slap on the wrist and we're expected to forget all about it and carry on as if nothing's happened!? At the very least he should have been put up for eviction for his actions, the fact that they won't even do that speaks volumes.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

There's a lot sadder you can get than taking the time to complain about a show, coming on a forum to insult someone for something like this being one of them.

Erm ,...no

I come on here daily to discuss my the most epic show on tv. I am not taking time out of my day to make an official complaint to Ofcom which could potentially get the show axed or worst still turned into a puppet show like BB11!

Complaining is just another version of telling the teacher on someone lol.

No need for it.

as much as i love the show! i completely agree! i dont need to watch that kind of garbage! seeing bullies get away with what they do! im mean c'mon wtf?

[rayheartbliss]

the thing about this is that, BB did not remove or hell didnt even do anything that was right, after the conor incident.......

showing what he said on national tv would not have raised such huge issues if they did the right thing by simply ejecting a hm who has gone over the line of fundamental rule of bb, hell im pretty sure that, that was actually illegal and people could actually report him for that if it was in the outside world
