Should Luke A have gotten a warning for the BMI comment

[gravity]

What do you think?

[smeagol]

he should of got 50k and free pass to the final

[ChristmasNeeve]

Why is that any worse than all the things Becky has said about him : Disgusting, nasty, ballerina, cheese face for example and that was before she heard the BMI comment.

[HBB1508]

No way it wasn't offensive at all it was a comment about respect - something Becky has no concept of. She can't go around playing the "I love being a fat girl" card and then get all upset about a comment that she thinks is about her size - and she wasn't upset anyway she was milking the whole thing to make herself look a victim - hope she goes tonight - if anything she should have got a warning for making Luke A feel as bad as he did about the whole thing.

[jet]

Of course not.

[Kizzy]

No, no and no...In that order.

[Urban Cragou]

No. Becky is fat and for her to go around thinking she's in this protection bubble and shouldn't have any comments made on her weight is a ridiculous attitude to have. It's not like she's slightly overweight - the girl's morbidly obese and it's up to her to do herself a favour and stop stuffing her face with crap.

[gravity]

It seems like he said a pretty disgusting thing based on Becky's reaction. BOTS keeps talking about how vile and horrible the comment was. If BOTS decides to highlight a nasty comment, then I guess the person who said it needs to get a warning or be ejected right? In this cause, for Luke A, It's not like they are gonna ignore the incident ever happened and give the one guilty of making the comments great edits and either 50 K or a pass to the final.

[chuff me dizzy]

Of course not :sleep:

[Suze]

Nope. Far worse things have been said in BBs without reprimands/warnings being issued.

[Marmalite]

Seriously?

I can't believe there is a thread about this.

[Livia]

Exactly.

And on Becky's audition video, she quite clearly said that she doesn't care if someone calls her fat and she doesn't care if someone calls her ugly. Apparently though, 'BMI' is much more insulting than 'fat' and 'ugly'. She's made herself look like the fool she is.

[R0B1S]

No. He just stated a fact.

[joeysteele]

In a workplace,he would have got a talking to as to it but I would guess the superiors would also secretly have had a laugh at it.

He did go to apologise,she wouldn't accept the apology but that is her right although not very endearing. He couldn't do more than apologise and BB couldn't have expected him to do any more than that, so no, he should not have got a warning.

And in a workplace Becky would also be reprimanded for all the nasty things she said about Luke. The only difference here is what Luke said was mentioned by her sister, she's been as nasty about Luke (if not more so) but that wasn't broadcast to him

[Sertius]

What do you think?

Silly question!

[Mumbles]

In the workplace Becky wouldn't have even known about it as he didn't say it to her face, only to a friend in private.

Personally, I think he should be up for a British Comedy Award, it's one of the funniest comments of this series.

This.

Joey... as if anyone was superior to you.

[Halfwit]

i like luke a (no clue why i think i have to say that) but he should have got a warning and that has nothing to do with becky being comfortable in her own skin, it was really low to say that and he knows it himself, after all he shows remorse. it wouldn't change anything anyway, this would be his first and probably last warning because he is (unlike becky) a good soul deep down, it was just the house and becky getting to him, a slap on the wrist would have probably done him more good than being confronted with this situation during the nominations.

[joeysteele]

That is very true and I have never condoned Becky's behaviour at all. nor in the post I made, Becky to me is an awful housemate and has been for weeks.

I merely pointed out that in a workplace if reported to his superiors he would have got a talking to on the matter at the very least. However equally so, (but the question didn't ask should Becky have had a warning for things she has said), I would say yes, she should have been made to apologise for anything she has said against Luke A especially if said in a workplace,or in fact said anywhere where others could hear it too.

Actually the whole thing showed Luke A's wife in a far better light than Becky's Sister that she held back from saying it and in fact,I am surprised BB let Becky's Sister go on so much about it.

Some of the public have listened and really sympathised with Luke A as to his story,wherein he has outlined the hurtful comments he has had as to his appearance over the years.
He even admitted that himself in the diary room that it would look bad for him now to have then made a comment as to someone elses appearance after all he has had to bear in his transition,some people have questioned his credibility now for doing that.

I would say they are wrong to question that but some will unfortunately especially the way it was allowed to be made known to all the other housemates and not by Luke A himself.

[G1dds]

No, of course not

He stated a FACT - if peeps can't see that, then it's no wonder we have obesity problems here

If he'd called her a fEcking fat digusting *****, then perhaps yes he should have been wrist slapped. I can't even fathom why people find saying someone who revels in being overweight, find the BMI comment offensive

My OH often says I have no respect for my liver, do I get offended? Hell no, my response is its being exercised :)

[Munchkins]

No, Becky has said just as awful things, but because its a weight issue, it seems to be seen as paramount

[Razor]

I think he should of got a pat on the back for telling the truth.

[optimisticcynic]

Not a chance. Good on him. Shame he capitulated. Really want to see Becky evicted tonight but am so frustrated by Conor/Luke S walking with 50grand, might stop my BB relationship today and focus on less ridiculous reality tv like the apprentice.

[whocares]

no, only if becky got a warning for calling that blonde guy an alcoholic. its the same thing, both are addicted, just to different things. luke didnt even call her fat, he merely implied that she ate too much and didnt exercise enough to even it out. thats my interpretation anyway lol

[Robertocarlo]

No! Becky is a disgusting person who is milking the comment for everything it's worth to try to look like the victim (which she's not)! I only hope we see the back of lard ar$e tonight, detest her.

[Suze]

It will probably be Ashleigh going this evening though.

[Knitting Nana]

As mentioned before on the many other similar threads, the equivilant is to say an alcoholic doesnt respect their liver, or a smoker doesnt respect their lungs. All three are factual observations and NOT in any way abusive. The only thing he did wrong was put a sarcastic tone to it. If he'd simply stated 'becky doesnt respect her bmi' instead of 'yeah, like she respects her bmi' it would never have been an issue. Why would being slightly sarcastic deserve a warning??

[Withano]

Nah, I'm probably one of Beckys biggest fans on this site and I've tried to put a point across that Luke A was horrible and Becky reacted well. But he doesn't deserve a warning, it wasn't bullying, just being nasty and doing what he does best, bitching. But if Becky was to insult him on something he feels insecure about, I'd expect the same treatment.

[AshesonMars]

Becky has said far nastier things about Luke A and other HMs. I really don't understand what the issue is with Luke A making an off the cuff remark that Becky respects him like she respects her BMI. He said it at a time when Becky was slagging Luke A off any way.

Becky is a hypocrite and so is her sister, and if she was that offended by Luke A's remark, then why didn't she nominate Ashleigh for saying Becky looked like a killer whale?

[Bojangles]

Certainly not I don't think it was offensive under the circumstances.

[Gizmo]

I really don't understand what the issue is with Luke A making an off the cuff remark that Becky respects him like she respects her BMI. He said it at a time when Becky was slagging Luke A off any way.

Agree. Luke A's comment has been taken out of context.

[Big Brother Cartoons uk]

A ridiculous fuss about nothing

[Robertocarlo]

It will probably be Ashleigh going this evening though.

I can only hope the crowd boo Becky and chant "get Becky out"! Then whale ar$e will get to understand she's not liked outside. I think she's one of the vilest HMs ever, alongside Grace.

[Rustic bauble]

He stated a 'fact'.... He was talking about her BMI and her lack of respect for it FGS....whats so bad about that.

[Suze]

All it's being done for is for votes. They are both up, Becky must have a feeling she could be the one going, so needs to latch on to the sympathy vote. Fans of hers and other housemates up will see it as a chance to play the LukeA villain, Becky Angel card to help votewise. I doubt many actually think the comment was that bad, other than this close to the final it could be seen as a chance to diminish a favourites chance at the final and winning, and push Becky's votes up to keep her in.

[Ellen]

Dont agree with what he said, he was been nasty & childish but he should not be given a warning.

[Me. I Am Salman]

No. She says she doesn't care about her weight so he was right in saying she has no respect for it. Becky wasn't even upset, that was blatant acting to make Luke A look bad. Plus she has said much worse about Chris.

[Marcus.]

yes some people do not like the talking about there weight

[Black Dagger]

How ridiculous.

Anyway, she's said stuff that's just as bad, his was tame.

[Black Dagger]

yes some people do not like the talking about there weight

She lives off talking about her weight and how much food she can shove in her awful gob...

[Cherry Christmas]

yes some people do not like the talking about there weight

she doesnt seem to have a problem talking about her weight...its what got her into the house, her VT was focussed on her weight, we would have had more personality if the basket of burgers made it into the house, at least we would have been saved her "hilarious"....spur of the moment...entrance

:laugh2:

[Kazanne]

No,Becky has been far worse and should have been given several warnings.

[Gizmo]

She's drawn attention to her weight and gluttony throughout the show. She's either stupid or arrogant if she believes that won't attract negative comments, both outside and inside the house.

[Cherry Christmas]

i love her entrance

That goes without saying...:hugesmile:How many times have you voted for her?

[pcro]

It was probably the least offensive way to mention another person's morbid obesity in the history of mankind. I think the deafening boos that will released upon this disgusting girl will confirm for her that her histrionics this past week were for naught.

[Angus]

What do you think?

Only if Becky gets one for her "I wish I had a penis then I'd p*ss on Luke A" comment:idc:

[Angus]

i love her entrance

Which one? There was a time delay between her chest and her backside.

[Becker]

Erm no

[Tinsel Toes]

The only problem with the comment was Becky can't face the bare faced truth ! I mean he could have said so many much worse things regarding Becky and they would have all been true, the Narwhale has been such a nasty bitch she deserves everything she gets ! Can't stand the great wobbling arse, the gigantic gob , she'd be better off in the eating olympics - she eats for England

[Barf_andotherthings]

If Luke A is to be warned about the BMI comment, then god knows how many warnings Ashleigh and Becky need to receive for what they've said about him and Deana.

[Becker]

Let's put things in perspective.

When has Becky EVER moaned about her size OR how much food she consumes OR the lack of exercise she takes? Hard one that?

She has no respect for herself whatsoever and I think Luke A actually put it quite mildly.
BMI pmsl

[Indy]

yes some people do not like the talking about there weight

Becky is not one of them.

As to the workplace analogy - Becky would never be hired in the first place.

[WozMan]

:joker::joker::joker:

Bang on there lad!!!

Her reaction to the comment and to Luke A in general has just been nasty, nasty, nasty!

I'm sorry but ever since she got gang-pressed by Conor she has just gone super-bitch on all the outsiders. Throwing Lauren under bus was it for me. She had NO LOYALTY to poor Lauren who was being nothing but nice to her and looking out for her wellbeing. She is totally UN-TRUSTWORTHY!!! You can't tell her anything or she will throw it back in your face!

SERIOULSY though fully HALF the posters in here would have gotten warnings for all the stuff they have said about her!! I think Smeagol would have been evicted and sent straight to jail if what Luke A said deserves a warning!!

[Donovan.]

Last night on BOTS all of the nominees entrance VTs were shown and when Becky said, "it's okay if ya call meh fat!" the audience laughed/booed and Emma just had to do the news through it... amazing.

[rayheartbliss]

he should have been given the 50k for it, best comment of the series tbh

[Marcus.]

Which one? There was a time delay between her chest and her backside.

ha ha no her big brother entrance

[Jords]

Nope it was just a bitchy comment.

No, but now that you've said it, I'm reporting you for crimes against humanity for the mental image.

[boomoo]

What do you think?

No. Parents now get a warning when their toddler is over the BMI limit.

[Anthony Hatface]

I daresay the BB political correctness gurus had a chinwag about it, but it was quite a subtle and indirect insult, in spite of its repercussions. Luke A wasn't (strictly speaking) calling her fat, or even calling her anything at all: simply stating that she had as much respect for him as she does for her health.

Becky was perfectly free to answer both those points in a rational way and say that she actually had tremendous respect for both Luke A and her health, rather than go into hysterics about it, ironically walking straight into a trap and making it seem all too clear that he was right. I will admit, that if Luke A intended to lay that trap then he truly is the nastiest, cunningest, and most devious of the HMs (though I doubt it).

[flamingGalah!]

No! And he only muttered it under his breath anyway, not as if he shouted in her face that she was a fat disgusting mess, which is also true...

Well for some of the things others have been told off about then, yes. But imo just don't chuck anyone out unless they use physical violence towards someone and just let the world hate them. I like watching arguments and bitchy comments, so good
