Should Danny have been removed?

[Calderyon]

For threatening behavior towards Marc? (The getting close to his face and throwing the sandwich)

What do you think?

[Liam-]

Yes absolutely.

[LukeB]

Yes so we can end this series already

[Griffin5779]

at the very least he should have gotten the line..If you repeat this behavior big brother may have no choice other then to remove you from the house"

[Jay.]

he only shouted and threw a sandwich lmao, people have done worse.

and marc deserved it. i'd have been as mad as danny tbh.

[lewis111]

Unless Marc went to the DR and said he felt threatened then no, Marc was calm and saw the situation as a bit of a joke.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Not sure, I think the warning is right, if it happens again then yes he needs to be removed. Luckly it was only a sandwich he threw as well, if it was something else he could have hurt Joel.

[jaxie]

More sandwichgate!

[Ashley.]

Of course not. :laugh: Why would they have to remove him?

[Ammi]

For threatening behavior towards Marc? (The getting close to his face and throwing the sandwich)

What do you think?

...hmmm, it is a bit of a tricky one I think...although goading was happening as well, the extent of his anger seemed completely out of proportion to anything happening when he got into Marc's face... should he have been ejected for that..?... I would have personally been fine if that had happened but I also think with these things, there should be consistency, not only with each housemate but also for every series as well...but then what 'forum fun' would that be..:laugh:../consistency...


..with the throwing of the sandwich..?...well it's also not knowing whether it would have ever only have been a just a sandwich or if he had 'lost beyond reasoning/seen red..' type thing and whether he would have thrown whatever may have been in his hand directly at the housemates...and the 'potential'....and that's something we don't know and won't ever...but whether thrown in anger or not, there were things like cans and bottles etc thrown directly into housemates during the storeroom 'food fight' and there were no ejections....so hmmmm...the most aggressive part for me was him getting into Marc's personal space in such a threatening way ...

[Ammi]

Of course not. :laugh: Why would they have to remove him?

..because it would be so much fun so close to the final..?..:laugh:..

[Ashley.]

"Why were you ejected?"
"Threw the sandwich, didn't I."

[Glarh]

I think removal was and is needed. It's the principle that he threw something. He threw it with the intent of hurting or hitting marc. Which would pose the same action as attempting to punch someone. It doesn't matter if it was a sandwich or a bottle/brick. It was thrown with intent on hurting/touching an individual which is assault.

I don't think it was with intent of hurting him, it was just a quick, poorly thought out reaction to the situation. After watching it again, there wasn't much of a reaction time which makes me think that he didn't really know what he was going to do. Yes, it was assault, but it wasn't assault with intent. I don't think it's something he should be ejected for, but it's definitely something he should be severely reprimanded for. He should be given a chance to control his anger to disallow it from happening again or else he won't learn.

I agree a quick poorly thought out reaction which next time could actually result in him hitting/hurting someone. So as to safeguard the other housemates removal would be needed surely?

[sampvt]

Fast forward 5 years and read all about how Danny is doing in Broadmore. He is an accident waiting to happen.

I would be surprised if he doesn't get reprimanded; I think that's all he needs given the way he assaulted Marc. Removing someone from a situation is a quick fix; keeping them in the situation but getting it into there head that what they have done is wrong, gives them a chance to learn from it and do things differently. If he does it again, we know that he hasn't learned anything and Big Brother can swiftly remove him.

But you don't know that. Neither of us know where anyone will be in five years time.

[Livia]

Certainly not. He was goaded by Marc who was doing his usual passive aggressive thing. And really, if Helen wasn't ejected for likening someone to a rapist and a murderer and also slandering someone is a "coke head" and alter admitting she had no evidence at all to back up that claim, then losing your rag when someone's winding you up is small fry. It's right he was warned though.

[Gusto Brunt]

I think the way Marc reacted was part of the reason Danny the Coward wasn't removed.

If Marc had appeared scared or had cried or was upset in the Diary Room, then Danny would have been gone.

The fact Marc remained calm and almost laughed off Danny's pathetic 'hard man show', was the reason Danny stayed.

I'm all for giving people chances to learn from the mistakes. But what if he doesn't learn from it and an individual gets hurt as a result of his poor self control? Which brings me back to the point of safety. It seems big brother haven't got the housemates best interests in mind and all the care about is ratings.

lol **** no. if he was thrown out Marc the twat should have been for something before. i liked Marc somewhat at first before the bunker bs and i dont even like Danny but that a-hole Marc deserved it.

And this thread was just meant to get people´s opinion on the matter without any further agenda.

[Robertocarlo]

He most certainly should have been removed. He's a potential danger in that house.

[sarah2020]

I cant stand how HMs get away with so much unless its any of Helens clan. Unfairly one sided.

[crazycolaist]

As much as I like him as a housemate, Yea. He should of

[Vicky.]

Nope...he was a dick but I don't think he should be removed, though I don't particularly like him

[billy123]

Saying things just for the reaction much :sleep:

[joeysteele]

Yes ,beyond a shadow of a doubt for me.
while out socialising, I have seen arguments develop with others then someone butt in who was not part of the conversation/argument initially and who then aggressively go over, they have been ejected,while often the others have been given the chance to cool down or follow them out the door too.

Once you voluntarily move towards someone and invade anothers space and go right up to their face, you are threatening, intimidating and potentially violent.
No defence for Danny on this one at all, he should be out because he has already been told before, only a few weeks ago in fact, that he must control his temper and actions.
That he failed to do on last nights highlights so out he should have gone.

Just as anyone else should have to go had they done it too.

[Jake.]

I can see why people think he should but in seems to be the norm now to give people a warning

Helen invading Matthew's personal space last year is one that sticks out for me

[Lostie!]

As much as I'd like him to leave, no I don't think that warranted a straight ejection. If he does it again after having being warned though, then possibly yes.

But for now a formal warning was enough I reckon.

[hannah.]

After what happened with the pizza boxes, yes. He clearly has a temper which he can't control.

[Moosething]

This board smh of course not

[Ashley.]

Now,I don't like Danny.He is cringetastic and makes himself look an idiot.But....For the sake of this already failing show i don't think he should be removed.

[Raph]

Yes so we can end this series already

This. No, he didn't deserve to be removed but he also didn't deserve to be cast in the first place.

[waylander1973]

I not sure he should be removed from the house, but he was wrong in his behaviour towards marc. but if he was I wouldn't be moaning about it on this forum.

If he does it again, then he should be kicked out.

[JoshBB]

By the standards in which Aaron was removed (invading personal space while nude once), Danny should have been removed for continued aggresive behaviour and getting very close in Marc's personal space.

[Smash the Clique]

It's amazing, Marc will get slated for being "passive aggressive" but Saint Danny will be a hero for being actually aggressive. Marc's response was first class, he remained calm throughout.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

100% yes

[Withano]

No.
His anger lasted about 20 seconds
It didn't come from nowhere, he was undeniably goaded
His anger isn't regular or unwarranted
He threw a ****ing sandwich, more comical than dangerous.

If it lasted longer or came from nowhere, happens to that extent more often or threw something heavier, then maybe. But as it stands it was 20 seconds of shouting at a man who deserved it. A warning was appropriate.

You think Danny would have stopped had BB not told him to go to the bedroom? The sandwich wasn't the problem, IMO. Yes that was rather funny. It was what he did before that...

Also don't think he was 'undeniably goaded' given he wasn't even part of the convo that 'upset' him. He purposely tried to goad MARC actually with his 'what you going to do?!' rubbish. Then when it didn't work, he lost HIS temper and got aggressive :shrug:

Yes he would have stopped. It was just built up anger that he lashed out all at once. The sandwich was brought up in the op and that was the question I was answering. Marc and Danny were equally to blame until Danny lost his temper, that's why Danny was warned and Marc was not. Danny crossed the line and needed to be warned not to repeat his actions, an ejection because of a 20 spurt would have been OTT

I don't understand this fixation on the length of time that Danny was violent for.

It takes only a second to intimidate someone or hit them or throw something at them.

Dennis' spit took a tiny fraction of a second.

The fact is that Danny has now done this 3 times. Twice with Marc and once with Helen.

He simply can't control his temper and many people have been ejected for far less.

You might as well not bother, people will always find a way to blame people they hate for something they didn't do :laugh:

[ThriceShy]

Marc did nothing.

He was having a conversation with Nick, which Nick was perfectly comfortable with, and Danny jumped in to tell Marc that he shouldn't be asking nick questions.

Marc told Danny several times, very calmly, that it was nothing to do with him. Marc didn't move from his seat. He threw nothing. He made no threats. He got in nobody's personal space.

This was all about Danny unravelling because he is a control freak who was able to control the other housemates but not Marc and Helen.

[ThriceShy]

I think what really made Danny absolutely lose the plot like that was that Marc had totally rumbled his game plan and exposed it by pointing out that Danny was trying to be the house hero.

It kicked off because Marc was spot on.

No doubt Marc remembered what happened in week 2 when he very first entered and Danny started invading his personal space and telling him not to upset chloe.

Danny, in trying to be a hero, has become a zero.

My theory is, much like Belo, Danny bottled it all up. Chose a stupid moment to let it out..one of the rare moments Marc wasn't actually doing anything wrong. Tried to goad Marc into being violent himself, failed, then the frustration got to him and he snapped.

Would have been much easier if he had said what was on his mind earlier in the garden, instead of allowing Marc to shake his hand.

On a side note, the earlier argument (in the garden) was apparently because Danny can't stand people butting into other people speaking. Which is fair enough, I hate it too. But then he did the same thing to marc later on?!

Thing is, I can't accept any excuses for him any more. There is a pattern to it. He did it to marc when marc first entered. Then he did it to Helen. Then he does it to marc again.

He won't stop either. That type will do it again and again until they are ejected.

[CallumJoshuaSturt]

Had Danny done that to any other housemates than he would have been removed. Honestly, I can't remember anyone getting that aggressor is someone's face before.

[Ramsay]

Nah

[bananarama]

Sadly I think he should have been removed. He has a violent streak in him and as per usual they always say they are ashamed after and won't do it again. Men like that should not be believed or trusted to control themselves. He needs to go as the idea of him possibly winning would be an abomination.

[Chero]

Throwing a half a sandwich is pretty lame. I mean, it's like throwing water on somebody. It's not going to actually hurt them. And Danny throws like a girl. I don't think it even hit anything.

Absolutely right he should have been removed.
Alarm bells would be ringing for me as to Danny for sure.

The annoying thing for me is that in fact, despite his little boy lost look in the diary room getting the warning.
There was no expression of shame or even apology when talking in the stroreroom about it in last nights highlights.

The other reason he should have been told to go is as I have said before,he has already been told before to control his temper and actions.
This time he went a step nearer to assaulting someone, that should have been, enough is enough and he should have been sent packing.

[JeanP!]

Yes, he's an aggressive prick

[Chilltown]

Danny is unfit to be in the house.
