Did Dexter deserve the formal warning?

[Headie]

I personally feel that he didn't and he was only saying something that he knew would provoke Sophie to give a reaction (which was the whole point of the task)

[Kazanne]

No it was pathetic!

[fingers]

NO Way! that was totally and utterly wrong!

[Shaun]

I do not hesitate in calling anyone who says "yes" a ****ing moron.

[Ramsay]

no way. was one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen on the show
it was part of the task..they told him to get her annoyed..when he does, they get pissed..stupid

[cookiemonster]

they shouldn't ask them to annoy other housemates if they're going to warn them for saying something that would annoy them! what the hell

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

It's pathetic why give tasks if you don't want them to try their best? wth did he say just about caravans, if some find that offensive past the watershed time then god help us.....

[Black Dagger]

YEH, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? I LOVE MY CARAVAN!! pfft

[chuff me dizzy]

Another case of PC Britain gone ridiculous

[PecsLova]

Is anyone going to give Wolfy a warning for taking the piss and being insulting to the Shaman belief system? I think the warning BB gave Dexter was a bit unnecessary to be honest, I thought they were calling him in to tell him off about the water throwing, not for mentioning people in caravans.

[fingers]

Totally over the top!

[Black Dagger]

They should have warned Dan for shoving Dexter as well then if they were dishing them out based on a ****ing task.

[smeagol]

that was the most pathetic thing i ever seen that takes the pc crud to a whole new level.
seriously bb are a total joke makes me want to switch of .
how the hell is that comment deserving of any warning. they need to get a grip
if i was dex n warned id of been like wtf u kidding then walked. no way put up with that

[PecsLova]

I had no idea that he was talking about Travelers from the bit they showed so i'm guessing alot of people wouldn't of thought that from that one faux argument, if anything BB made it worse by drawing attention to it lol

[smeagol]

bb should warn the fat pig about spiitting at the seats. people will catch something .total disgrace
england r i p new low

[Emmyasdfghjkl]

It was actually pathetic, shouldn't have given them that task if they were gonna warm them for trying their best to annoy someone.

[fingers]

It just shows the level of ineptitude and incompetence of this production crew!

[south12345]

BB simply pandering to the PC brigade.....ridiculous

It happens EVERYWHERE now ......

[Vicky.]

Definitely not. What a load of bollocks that was.

[cookiemonster]

then ironically they constantly show that travellers show in every advert break

[Josy]

No it was ridiculous

[MilkMaid]

I'd be interested to know how BB would react if someone used the phrase 'trailer trash'. It may not be the most pleasant expression but would it be worthy of A Big Warning from BB?

As for Dexter, as has been said, BB was like the kid that goads its little brother into misbehaving and then gets the parent to tell him off, except BB is the parent too!

[Lozzibear]

No, it was pathetic.

[karezza]

Political Correct insanity.

:shocked:

Jermaine Jackson got away scot free calling white people "white trash"

[Sophiee]

nope, especially as it was part of the task.

[Roy Mars III]

poll results say it all

it was such an OTT moment

[fingers]

does that merit an OFCOM complaint, the incompetence I mean.

[Jords]

wow 0-38 in the poll, says it all BB!

[smeagol]

is this the first time the forum have ever agreed on anything lo

[GypsyGoth]

BB should have given themselves the warning.

[Patricia4]

NO

[R0B1S]

That was pathetic from BB. A new low on the whole "ridiculous warnings" thing. I hope they come to that realisation.

[fingers]

Think BOTS will mention it? Neither do I!

[Vicky.]

I think this is the first time ever a poll has been like this..usually you get the odd couple of people who dislike the housemate saying 'yes' just because they dislike them :laugh:

[Maneki-neko]

No. And it just lessens the effect of formal warnings for actual offensive actions.

[fingers]

They ought to post a public apology on the website, incompetent fools.
There are more caravan owners than there are Travellers and I bet not one of them took offence at what was said!

[mr rochester]

...categorically NO...If Dexterous got a warning for doing what he was asked to do then Dan should have got a warning for pushing Dexterous...Absolute rubbish...

[Tozzie]

did he buggery, ffs

[Gillian-73]

Most definitely not. It was pathetic!

[Black Dagger]

The poll result :joker:

[joeysteele]

No, not at all, In fact none of the warnings issued were warranted in my opinion to all of the housemates getting one so far this series.

[Gillian-73]

The forum agrees on something lol 56-0

[Tozzie]

hey Gill, I'd love to buy the Sun..........I'd bring it into my life every single day but it causes bloody wrinkles eh! teehee

[Visage]

Totally ridiculous.


I hope they set a task and the housemates play it down, saying they don't want to be on the end of another ridiculous warning.

[fingers]

Totally ridiculous.

Unfortunately probably none of the HMS know of that ridiculous warning unless Dexter told someone before he left, and I rather doubt that.

[reece(:]

These formal warnings are absolute bull****.

[SammyBrierleyxox]

Not at all, at the end of the day he was just trying to annoy Sophie..and the task was to annoy Sophie. I can see why Big Brother gave him the warning because they are scared if the viewers of Big Brother will take it the wrong way BUT Dexter still didn't deserve the warning.

[Visage]

Unfortunately probably none of the HMS know of that ridiculous warning unless Dexter told someone before he left, and I rather doubt that.

Yeah, you're probably right, though I would be telling all of them if it was me.

[jet]

That was the most ridiculous warning in the history of BB.
I'm not a Dexter fan, but I thought he was great in the part he played (and Callum too, given that he usually wouldn't say boo to a goose). Very believable! :hugesmile:

[fingers]

OK who is the PC member?

[Bluerang1]

I haven't watched it but only one Yes? Really? I like Gina but I do know she deserved her warning for the Sallie incident, don't let your like of an housemate cloud your judgement. I'll reserve mine until I see the show.

[Vicky.]

I think this is the first time ever a poll has been like this..usually you get the odd couple of people who dislike the housemate saying 'yes' just because they dislike them :laugh:

Ah one of them has turned up it seems now.

Honestly, even if you dislike him surely you can see how unfair it was?! :laugh:

[fingers]

[Vicky.]

I am almost certain that when you see it, you will see why the poll is so one sided.

I'm sure you dont think all 60 that voted voted no just because they like Dexter.

And I would actually go as far as to say that anyone who votes yes is doing so solely because they dislike him, not because they found it fair.

[reece(:]

There's always one. :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Which absolute ming-mong said yes?

[Ramsay]

trololololol

[fingers]

What a pity it wasn't a public poll.

[Visage]

What a pity it wasn't a public poll.

They probably wouldn't have voted if it was public.

[Bluerang1]

I think they only warned him because Sophie found it so offensive. Same with Jemima and the race thing.

[Vicky.]

Sophie only found it offensive because it was Dexter that said it though..and I really doubt she actually found it offensive, she would have laughed if one of the twins said it

If they are going down the route of giving someone a warning for every little thing that someone says they find offensive, next years HMs better watch out because the people who dislike them know exactly how to get them thrown out...'she said she didnt like frosties, that offends me :( ' etc

[Jords]

Bloody ming-mong!!!!!!!!!!!

[mr rochester]

BIG BROTHER Dexter, this morning at 10.29a.m you said the following; 'I do not like Mondays - it is my least favourite day of the week.'

DEXTER Yes Big Brother - I said that this morning.

BIG BROTHER Dexter, the rules clearly state that Big brother will not tolerate the personal likes and dislikes of the housemates. Monday has been in touch with us and is severely offended by your comments and feels you are marginalising and demeaning a day of the week.

DEXTER I am sorry Big Brother and Monday - it was not my intention to upset anyone but surely when you announced that next week's nominations were on Monday you can understand why I reacted in such an outrageously offensive way - I admitted I did not like Mondays...

BIG BROTHER In order to placate the millions of people in the world who support Monday and all that Monday stands for we need to issue you with a warning. If you are offensive about Monday again you will be asked to leave the Big Brother House. Do you understand?

DEXTER Yes Big Brother - I fully understand...

[mr rochester]

BIG BROTHER Dexter, at 3.21p.m this afternoon you said the following; "Hey Guys - I have changed my mind - I now really love Mondays - Mondays is my favourite day of the week..."

DEXTER (smiling happily) Yes Big Brother - I said that this afternoon...I am giving Monday my full support...

BIG BROTHER Dexter, as you know, it says in the rules that housemates are not allowed to express personal preferences. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday have been in touch and complained bitterly that you have not expressed a dislike of them. Therefore they are feeling marginalised and minoritised.

DEXTER I am very sorry Big Brother and some of the other days of the week. It was not my intention to leave the other days of the week out. I am perfectly happy to now dislike them too...

BIG BROTHER In fairness to Saturday and Sunday we have decided that rather than be deluged by complaints from the Weekend that we must ask you to leave the Big Brother House...Do you understand...

DEXTER (ashen) Yes Big Brother - I fully understand....

[Indy]

I think Sophie set him up on that one. She specifically used the word "offended" in her little tirade about how he was calling her cheap. It was on and on about the cheap thing, then suddenly she throws in the traveller bit, then back to cheap.

Surely they must have figured out by now that the magic word to get someone a warning is to say they've been offended.

[Fish_Fingers]

You're not allowed to have an opinion these days. And if you dare to dislike something, God help you. Channel 5 are a bunch of w@nkers.

[Jamesy]

Sophie only seemed to have had an issue for all the 2-3 hours the task lasted. When it was revealed, she seemed to have had, what, 15 minutes of 'upset' then seemed fine again.

I honestly didn't even see how it could be offensive until Big Brother brought it up. It's like the producers wanted to make a fuss about anything, however small.

Anyway, shouldn't Dexter be kicked out the house now? He's been warned twice... producers are going back on their word there (I do like Dexter btw, although it is meant to be two strikes and you're out).

[anne666]

It just shows the level of ineptitude and incompetence of this production crew!

This

[BJ2]

BB simply pandering to the PC brigade.....ridiculous

agree with you

[Tozzie]

:o:rolleyes:they ask him to participate in a task, he does a ruddy good job at it and so he gets bollocked into the bargain, the worlds gone mad *tut*
