PC brigade is hitting the roof this series...

[Loukas]

out of 2m viewers a night to only get 342 complaints is good, no?

Not really because none of the above warrant a single complaint. :laugh:

[Mick McMick]

I suppose these folks don't have an off switch on their tv?

[JohnnyBB]

40 complaints about Dappy Kissing A duck.

40 complaints about Dappy Kissing A duck.
That one's understandable...

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Tbh I'm not in the least bit surprise but complaints about over 18 room, I'm no prude & I found it really uncomfortable viewing & Evander comment was out order.

[thesheriff443]

why do people watch a program like this, most complaints are from people that missed a stitch in their knitting while watching.

[zakman440]

The 18 room complaints were unreasonable, they gave the right warnings before they aired that part of the show, and it was on after the watershed! The Evander comments I can understand, Dappy as well, I think they gave a warning before the jacuzzi scene as well.

[Black Dagger]

Sad people need to get a life over the 18+ one. Best episode of the series, ****ing hilarious. I bet these people still laugh at Benidorm :idc:

[Cherie]

No complaints so far about Jim Davidson, who would have thought it :laugh:

[Cherie]

Have I missed something - what Jacuzzi scene :suspect:

[Northern Monkey]

People who have complained about anything need to switch of their TV's at 9 o clock,Strange people who watch reality TV and then bitch when people say real things.Sheltered wierdos.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Do these people want to gloss over life all together. All this stuff happens in the real world and forcing people not to witness peoples opinions or behaviour is doing more harm than good.

Exactly

[Jamesy]

The people who usually complain about these things are oldies or parents who have nothing better to do.

I wouldn't worry though. BB gets complaints every series over the most mundane of things. Nothing new.

i was about to say the same thing but i think they mean the the dare game Dappy, Jasmine and Luisa played. idk.

[bez87]

Dappy was well out of order, if any man thinks that way they should bow there heads in shame i am actually very surprised he was like that but at the same time i'm not, dappy wasn't bothered when he had them both in the bath, he just jealous he didn't get nothing, and the whole o you disrespect my mother, i'm sorry but he brought her daughter up first thats worst, i like dappy but on this occasion he was so out of order, its her life she can do what she wants, non of our business, she doesn't go round shouting it, and he probably would boost about it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I saw a tweet which proper enraged me on Twitter

@lauracooperJBAP
complained twice to ofcom about this series of cbb now

[Vanessa]

These people need to get a life. :nono:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

In exception to the sex task the housemates behaviour is their own doing and not Channel 5's.

They didn't tell Dappy to be sexist, They didn't tell the girls to snog each other neither did they tell Evander to make homophobic remarks.

Why should the show be punished when its the housemates who choose to act the way they do? And I applaud Channel 5 for not censoring it, sexism and homophobia should be shown if its happening.

Yeah, I reckon it's that


But yeah, BB is trash TV, people should expect this kind of s**t tbh

lol, why not just stop watching? :joker:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I just tweeted her saying "What do you actually expect to achieve by complaining?".

Im curious what they actually want, I think they just complain because they can but have no idea why they are doing so or how Ofcom works.

I just don't get these people who are always complaining about BB and are saying that it should be cancelled/should have been cancelled after C4 etc etc yet they still obviously are following and/or watching the show. Why call for something to be cancelled just because you don't like it anymore? Why not just stop watching, I don't get the need to spoil it for everyone else just because you don't like it anymore

[Slevin]

some people just like complaining for the sake of it. its like all those trolls on IMDB that bitch and moan about a tv series every ep and season. they just dont stop watching. its insane.:spin:

[smeagol]

sad people in the world they get warned and they still watch it then complain lol
those numbers are meaningless compared to the country lol

The type of people who watch a horror movie then complain its too horrific

That's allowed though if it's a series you've watched for years and it's the final one *cough*Dexter*cough* :laugh:

[Loukas]

tbh i don't mind it when people complain, it causes the show to have more publicity. Even if it's negative, publicity is good.

[Kazanne]

No complaints so far about Jim Davidson, who would have thought it :laugh:

Was just thinking that Cherie,give it time:hugesmile:

[coolface]

god some people are so sad

[Raph]

I love it :laugh: I do think it's way over-the-top though. The only time I complained to Ofcom was Hira's eviction in BB10 because I really saw it as unfair, but nothing this series was that manipulated by the producers or outrageous, in my opinion.

[reece(:]

Complained once when they didn't chuck Conor out but that was a much more serious situation than bloody kissing a duck in a bathtub.

[Ramsay]

Unless someone straight up stabbed another person on the show, i see no reason to go out of your way and complain. It's BB, what do people expect when they watch it?
