Why is she there
ITV would have done checks ?

[Niamh.]

too right

[GiRTh]

She's claustrophobic.

[Iceman]

I didnt know having a gigantic nose was a medical condidtion

[Vanessa]

Urgh! Waste of a camp mate of she can't do any trials. :nono:

[Niamh.]

She's claustrophobic.

But why send someone who's claustrophobic in there in the first place? Would people be excused from trials if they said they were arachnophobic?

[MTVN]

According to one of the comments on there she has severe claustrophobia and asthma so could have quite bad panic attacks, don't really want to see her do a trial that much anyway so doesn't bother me that much

[Iceman]

I hope she's first out. It's a pity because I reckon she would have been good at some of trials.

[Black Dagger]

I don't know why there is so much rage, it's not like she'd have got any of them anyway, they were too busy voting for that Essex tool even when she could have been potentially picked.

[Jack_]

I heard she's asthmatic

I'm really not that bothered though cause she'd be dull at them too, Annabel needs to be doing them. God I miss people like Helen and Gillian :sad: this series has proven that the trials are only entertaining when you have some terrified, screaming person having to endure them

[joeysteele]

Urgh! Waste of a camp mate of she can't do any trials. :nono:

I agree, why put yourself forward even to be on it if there are things you 'really' cannot do.

It is in my view too,as it it yours, unfair that near all others would have to do something if selected for it and no one should be immune from being the viewers possible choice to do all trials.
If they are not willing or cannot do any likely event then they should not be selected to go in at all.

[Vanessa]

She was never going to be picked anyway

[Smithy]

noone ****ing voting for her shut up complaining :nono:

[Niamh.]

Bit rude Smithy

[smudgie]

As you get invited onto the show, it pays good money and they take any conditions you may have into account, why would you not go on the show.

It is not as if she is the first campmate to be allowed to opt out of trials.

[Vanessa]

How does it feel to be able to make these kind of comments without being infracted or banned?

Who was ever Infracted or banned for making a comment similar to this?

Well I see it as unnecessary and perpetuating bullying to be honest. There was no need. A 'staff member' should be setting a better example.

Watch me get infracted now.

I like her but she has to start doing some trials

[Niamh.]

Well I see it as unnecessary and perpetuating bullying to be honest. There was no need. A 'staff member' should be setting a better example.

Watch me get infracted now.

So, no answer to the claim you made just then? Thought not.

[King Gizzard]

If it is claustrophobia then do people who are arachnophobic (alot of people) get exempt from those types of trials? Doubt it

Pointless that's she's even in there, to think she is getting 80k for it

Why say it then? Other people haven't been infracted or banned for saying similar things so what you said is a complete lie and obviously only said to try and make us mods look bad as per usual. As it happens I agree with you, I don't think it's nice to make fun of peoples physical appearance, celebrity or not.

Because, in my opinion if I or another normal registered user made that comment or similar they would be infracted, and quite frankly I would expect them to be.

I dont know if anybody has been infracted or banned for making such comments and I can't be arsed to check. But I have been infracted for far less.

My buddy? I don't think i've ever said anything to Smeagol ever, apart from maybe arguing with him during big brother. I think he's probably even reported me at least once.

My point is that there are different standards for 'staff members' and registered users. They both should have been told.

Moderators are the authoritarians of this site, can you imagine if you were at school and the head of year poked his head into the technology lab and said 'did you see that big nosed woman on i'm a celeb last night?'

I am merely pointing out an injustice, and why I think that comment was out of order. There really is no need to take it personally. I made my point and you keep going on about it taking sarcy little shots at me. Cyber bullying can take many forms, and whilst I am not suggesting the person who made the comment is cyber bullying in any way whatsoever, I am making the point that someone could read that who has similiar issues and take it personally, and it could upset them.

With children on here, that is a very dangerous road to go down.

You are the one who has taken it personally and decided to challenge me for god knows how long.

I am changing something, I am raising these points, and will continue to do so no matter how much stick I get and no matter how much people ignore me. Because I am a grown man, and don't give a monkeys chuff.

If I was 13 years old and read that or many comments on here like that it WOULD have upset me and made me feel like ****.

Saying these comments are allowed because its aimed at celebrities is a cop out.

Well clearly, there are children whose parents don't or are unable to monitor their children's online activity. Children these days can and will run rings around their parents with technology. You as mods, as people who have more than a slight grasp of these things, have a moral responsibility to not let these things grow.

When such comments are made the people who make them should be lambasted publicly for it, by a moderator explaining exactly why. So that an example can be set for the younger members. I myself have calmly and effectively put a few children on here in their place for making comments that they should not be making. That really should be your job.

Whether children have access to pornography is not and should not be the concern of anybody on here, that quite rightly is not a problem or responsibility of moderators.

However, whilst registered and using this site, moderators are for want of a better phrase, online guardians.

Poking fun at a body issue, whether it be their nose, ears, eyes or anything else, can have a very real effect on an individuals outlook on their own life.

Bullying other members is against the rules. Commenting on a celebrities appearance doesn't constitute cyber bullying IMO. At all.

If it did, and all negative comments about celebs/BB contestants/etc came under this umbrella of cyber bullying..most members would be banned more often than not. I don't recall you having problems with people making negative comments before?

[Tom4784]

Indeed, maybe you should look up the definition

Maybe if you have an issue you should try doing something useful about it instead of just taking potshots at the mods. Also stop trying to hold us to a standard that you yourself aren't willing to adhere to.

[Lee.]

Well Lee, if there is no 'spat' could I ask what in the name of **** has it got to do with you? or for that matter the other moderators that have come in here to defend their buddy?

OYjZK_6i37M

First of all it's a public forum which means I am entitled to post my opinion wherever and whenever I want.
Secondly I'm not here to "defend" anybody, Niamh is perfectly capable of defending herself... I am involved as I think your comments are unreasonable and I have a right to say so.

[Black Dagger]

I think you are trying too bloody hard and should maybe go for a lie down xo.

[Vicky.]

Oh, and I never came in here to defend anyone btw, I was genuinely curious about why a thread that had like 2 comments not long ago had recently exploded :p

[Lee.]

I actually only came in to say that I think it's **** that Rebecca is being excluded from so many trials !

[Vicky.]

Havent even watched IAC this year so I find it hard to get outraged about anything to do with it :laugh:

[Lee.]

I think you are trying too bloody hard and should maybe go for a lie down xo.

Who? Me?

[Josy]

My whole point is that it should be, in my humble opinion of course, because making such comments has no positive purpose.

Well the rules have been in place for years, you agreed to them when you signed up.

You can quite easily make negative comments about a persons actions, if they do something that is wrong. Pointing out and making fun of a persons personal appearance whether they are a celeb or not can have wide reaching implications. You need to look at the bigger picture.

For the sake of argument, say there is a 14 year old girl who is going throug school and being picked on and ridiculed for her nose every day at school, she sees Rebecca on TV and starts to see her as a role model. Only to then see her being ridiculed.

Wouldnt it be better for this site to be seen as a place that stops this ?

You don't recall me making an issue of people making fun of others for their personal appearance?

Take a look back through the Sam threads from the last big brother, when people were taking digs at him for being deaf.

I will defend these things to the death, you can ban, infract, ridicule and belittle me all you like. I've heard it all and its like water off a ducks back.

[Verbal]

What are you referring to exactly?

[Verbal]

Well the rules have been in place for years, you agreed to them when you signed up.

I am not talking about rules, I am talking about human decency and morality.

You really think people read those?

[Tom4784]

What are you referring to exactly?

You've received tons of infractions relating to insulting other members and generally being unpleasant towards them and now you're trying to act like an anti-bullying saint. The truth of the matter is that you don't care about any of this, you just want a new stick to try and beat the mods with.

[Black Dagger]

Who? Me?

omfg no no :love:

[Black Dagger]

Nobody took digs at Sam for him being deaf, maybe for being a dire boring ******* and the worst winner of a reality show to date, but not deaf.

[Josy]

I am not talking about rules, I am talking about human decency and morality.

You really think people read those?

I couldn't care less whether they read them or not, those are the rules that we go by and that's it.

And you did say insulting someones appearance should be against the rules.

I have NEVER insulted anyone, as some on here will tell you I have a sarcastic sense of humour, which some get and some don't. I certainly have never ever made an issue of anyones appearance.


You want me to list the infractions i've received on here, justifying every single one of the points I was infracted for?

Cos I will

Try again dezzy.

[Smithy]

Some of y'all really need to get out more :idc:

They were rulebreaks, justifying them doesn't change that fact, it just makes you a hypocrite.

No it doesnt, I can justify every single one of the comments, and all of them were genuinely harmless and had no malice to them whatsoever. You really are focusing on the wrong people. How on earth am I a hypocrite?

[Tom4784]

OK this is just paranoid waffle really. I havent done any of those things?

Yes I saw you defend Sam. However, I took that to be because you supported him rather than anything else (and also I think defending someone against deaf jibes is quite a bit different to someone saying someone else has a big nose), much as I think this is the issue now. Its fine for people to say what they like about people you dislike. I may be wrong of course, and no doubt will be told that I am now.

If we deleted/banned.whatever every comment about appearance, we would have no members left really. Where does it end? A kid might have been bullied and called stupid, does this mean that whenever someone says someone else is stupid that should be removed?

The rules have been the same for years. OTT abuse is against the rules(eg. if iceman had said she has a big nose and I hope someone breaks it and kills her) but petty little comments about appearance, while being annoying, are not against the rules.

Its being against picking on people for things that these people cannot help, and are things that plague them on a daily basis. These type of comments just perpetuate the bullying.

I'm officially done with this thread now. My point is made. Its just going round in circles.

[Vicky.]

But Millions are angry
that she can not do the tasks


Why The hell did ITV put that Lady in?

They have done it before. Pretty much every year there seems to be someone who is excused from a load of tasks, IIRC last year it was because someone was too old.

[Verbal]

So it's one rule for you and another for everyone else? Nice.

Where have I said that? I can justify as harmless humour every single one of my comments.

I would like to see the people who have told me to kill myself etc. do that.

Ok i'm done now

You're discounting your own infractions because you believe that you were justified in repeatedly insulting people and the like yet you've spouted endless spiel about protecting children from nasty comments. You're basically saying everyone else has to walk on eggshells and mods have to raise all the children that log onto Tibb yet you think you can insult anyone you want and generally be quite nasty to people and that's okay because you believe you can justify breaking the rules?

You are a hypocrite.

I really want to be done with this thread as i've made my quite genuine point, but i'll be damned if I am letting you have the last word. I
Again, I have not insulted anyone. Please refrain from trying to blacken my name.

I am quite willing to justify myself for every one of them as I have said.

Now please stop trying to bait me. I do believe that is an offense that can get you infracted.

Back on topic
get Rebecca Out

[erinp5]

Rebecca's sister and partner say they don't know what this 'illness' is that rules Rebecca out of doing the trials.

'Becky and the other celebrities aren't aware what the trial is each day, it's the doctors who rule out the contestants. Even we don't know what the medical grounds are. Becky was in good health when she left and definitely isn't pregnant!'

Family say they are sworn to secrecy regarding Rebecca's illness.
I wish they would make up their mind about knowing or not knowing what the 'illness' is .

Rebecca Adlington's family have pleaded with I'm A Celebrity producers to reveal the nature of the swimmer's serious medical condition.

The Olympic athlete's aunt Sonia Adlington revealed that all the family are aware of what is wrong with Rebecca, but her uncle Tony added to the Daily Mirror: 'We have been sworn to secrecy'.

He added: 'Becky wants the public to know why she is being excused. We wish the producers would say the reason.

Sonia also revealed that despite 24-year-old Rebecca's medical issue having ruled her out of three Bushtucker Trials so far, the athlete is desperate to pull her weight and take part in the challenges.


She said: 'It's not Becky's choice. She wants to do the challenges - even eating grubs - but she is not allowed to do some of them on doctor's orders.'

The nature of Rebecca's medical issue is still shrouded in secrecy, but Sonia added that it is a condition that she has suffered from through years of swimming.

On this Morning yesterday, the gorgeous Ashley Roberts was saying Rebecca's family wanted to reveal her illness. Make you minds up.

[Jemal]

LOL shes claustrophobic right? Yet she can stay in the water for more than a minute?
I have Asthma aswell and staying in the water is extra hard especially when your also 'claustrophobic'.

Everyone knows Rebecca is scared of everything in there but i dunno why you guys aint voting and instead you keep moaning.

Vote her in and i gaurantee you will get your beloved scared trial taker back.
Which will make the show more 'entertaining' for you.
