I didn't think Tila Tequila should've been and she's a far more mentally-unhinged, bigoted, stupid bitch than he is on the regular, so no.

If this was pre-CBB16 then I'd agree, but I think it'd be extremely unfair if he was allowed to stay and "redeem himself" to some viewers when Tila was not given the same opportunity.

No, Tila's ejection was moronic and totally unjustified and so would his

What they've said or done outside of the house is irrelevant. The point is to judge their actions inside the house, or else what's the point in doing the show? We may as well not bother

If it's something that's worthy of stopping you entering the house in the first place (as plastering derogatory comments about sexuality, race and mental disability absolutely should imo), then it's enough to warrant an ejection.

No, and anyone who votes yes is a little pathetic in my humble opinion.

Might wanna stick to posting your humble opinion on the topic and not other forum members since Hayden specifically said he didn't want his thread to descend into silly drama.

Just going off consistency you've gotta argue if they've removed someone for doing something similar before then they should do it again

Thats not to say i want him removed because i think he could be a good controversial housemate that causes discussion, but if he was i wouldn't have any complaints

No, because that would be censorship and would only feed it. When he inevitably says something stupid in the house, then BB or the viewers can evict him.

I don't agree we should censor people with opinions we dislike because inevitably you end up with a nasty extreme that hits the red button everytime they see any opinion they dislike. However, we have a right to respond to them. That would be more fair. He would not be the first celebrity to be openly anti-gay and definitely won't be the last.

Tila didn't exactly come on TV with guns blazing and she did admit her views were OTT and not well thought out (I think).

If they aren't even gonna expose his tweets in some silly task or something like they did with Winston's past comments, then he should just be ejected like Tila was, I agree it's about consistency.

And considering this is an 'entertainment show' (which you're right, it is), it's funny that almost every series you can guarantee you'll be campaigning for the entertaining housemates to be evicted and championing some dullard

Andrew is a housemate in Big Brother. A housemate who has made comments regarding race, homosexuality and disability. Therefore we, including myself, are discussing them. It's pretty self explanatory if you think about it.

:umm2:

Well actually you were defending him and agreeing with other's defences of him in the other thread up until it emerged he'd mocked those with down syndrome

People being able to fight back doesn't make discrimination any more or less acceptable. Again, it isn't a competition. You wouldn't say of an adult male victim of assault compared to that of a female child victim, 'well he could've fought back!', would you? Both are wrong and it's the same here

I do agree but then it's each persons take on it I suppose? Not trying to single you out/bring up things from before (so apologies if this comes across that way), but I remember you saying that in your opinion, Helen didn't bully Jale in BB15 but did Brian in BB16. So it's that kinda thing if that makes sense, we all have a perception of what's worse than the other.

I don't see how that's really comparable though. The Helen incidents were open to interpretation, Andrew's comments aren't - they just exist objectively

No doubt if he still has the same attitude he will get voted out anyway.

I think his comments are disgusting and I don't agree or condone them whatsoever, but I voted No. And Tila shouldn't have been removed either as that was stupid.

But if and when he says something racist, homophobic, or bigoted inside the house then chuck him out in a heartbeat.

I don't think he should have entered in the first place if they already knew like Tila she shouldn't have entered so it's only fair to eject him. I'm going to judge him on what he is like during the house but I would also like to see his tweets expose like they did with Winston. It's only fair.

If it's something that's worthy of stopping you entering the house in the first place (as plastering derogatory comments about sexuality, race and mental disability absolutely should imo), then it's enough to warrant an ejection.

LMAO my views are outdated?! Are you taking the piss?

And considering this is an 'entertainment show' (which you're right, it is), it's funny that almost every series you can guarantee you'll be campaigning for the entertaining housemates to be evicted and championing some dullard

Andrew is a housemate in Big Brother. A housemate who has made comments regarding race, homosexuality and disability. Therefore we, including myself, are discussing them. It's pretty self explanatory if you think about it.

Firstly what he said was a long time ago and to a friend on social media, not the show, so that's a strange thing to do, seeing as how you are always banging on about judging people on what they do on the show and secondly I don't really spend a lot of time following your views and opinions because they are virtually all verbatim and generally about homosexual issues which is understood, accepted and very well discussed TO DEATH. in closing, we get your point ok, now enjoy the show for what it is, entertainment and arguments. Most of us don't give a toss about what someone said when you were still at school Jack.

I don't see how that's really comparable though. The Helen incidents were open to interpretation, Andrew's comments aren't - they just exist objectively

LT didn't seem bothered when it was just the homophobic tweets being shared, but did when the down syndrome one emerged

Yeah that's true, I think my point made more sense in my head

In case you missed it, I've already said I think people jumping down Andrew's throat for comments he made four years ago is a little over the top. I've also said he, just like Tila, shouldn't be ejected for comments made outside of the house, only those made inside. So why you're preaching this to me is a little confusing - yet again it seems I've encountered someone who doesn't read threads through before they post in them. The comments are being discussed because people on this forum are agreeing with them now, in the present, that's all.

And for your information, I wasn't in school four years ago.

And as various people pointed out earlier, the No percentage doesn't in anyway represent approval of the awful things he said so you're still in the minority on that front. Repeating the result of this poll over and over again doesn't change that. :)

He consistently seemed like an arsehole tonight so I see no reason to think he's matured whatsoever (and he wasn't a naive kid at the time in the first place).

I have never got the I 'judge people from what they do in the house' mentality. People don't miraculously change the moment they enter the BB house, and their past feelings don't miraculously disappear as if they were never a part of them. I take heed of past deeds, and how the person appears to be now, for the the BB audience. BOTH are important. They are putting themselves out there to be judged, after all. Past and present - and both are relevant in my book.

Anyway, no I don't think he should be removed. I'm sure if you looked hard enough that a fair few more housemates have said or done questionable things before going into the house.

That's fine if you can blank the HM's past history. Not everyone can. I can't, and I doubt I'm alone. The HM's aren't new born babes, after all, if info about them is out there, for good or bad, how do you not be influenced by that to some extent? You have to be in some shape or form.

I have to disagree Jack. BB is real life, because the people in the house are real people with emotions and pasts and they can't suddenly become cartoon characters when they enter the house. They are still real; albeit some of them trying to be something they are not for as long as they can to fool us! :hee:
Their pasts may be irrelevant to you, and that is absolutely fine FOR you, but it's not the same for everyone. As I said before though, people can redeem themselves even if their pasts have been less than stellar; one of the delights of BB is how people can surprise you....so nobody is written off because of bad press. THAT is the point of the show to me...there is good and bad in everyone and the show brings that out in ways we don't always foresee at the start....

But they are cartoon characters? Big Brother is a cartoon show. It hasn't been a social experiment since about 2003. They are merely characters in one of the most false environments on television, it's like an unscripted soap opera. You cannot tell me Big Brother is real life because it isn't, and therefore the real lives of the people who enter to become housemates and characters are just not relevant to what occurs within the confines of a glorified television set.

How can people redeem themselves or surprise us if we don't know their pasts? This may be true for Celebrity Big Brother because the lives of the housemates are well documented (although I still think it's silly not to judge the celebs on a blank slate), but for the civilians? Absolutely not. I mean sure, the forums and social media have uncovered some pretty nasty tweets made by Andrew - but they were four years ago for starters and let's be honest, you cannot gauge what a person is truly like from their social media account, this is true for everyone.

Unless you suggest we get the entire documented history of each and every housemate with character references from those who know them and every single detail of everything they've ever done good or bad, we just simply do not know them, and it is silly to suggest otherwise. We get to know them - in the 48 minutes we have a night mind you - on the television show we are watching. That is the point of the programme.

I think the point to Big brother is akin to a social experiment in that we throw a diverse group in together and watch fireworks go off. There is a boundary where it ceases to become entertaining and people in the house tend to draw that line on their own.

Winston was almost ejected for his behavior and rightfully he was voted out. I personally would rather see situations where someone's behavior draws ire than to have total censorship. Sometimes people need to see why some behavior is totally wrong... There are people who are on both sides of the fence in the public and though some may not share the same opinion as you and I, they can see for themselves when the logic falls flat on issues such as gay marriage, etc

...surely BB researchers must know these things anyway if they're so easy to find...but no, I don't think that he should be ejected just because his tweets have become known..it will be interesting to hear his thoughts now, 4 years on..prejudices/bigotry etc are sadly still so much a part of society and to deny him his place in the house, to me would seem like denying the existence of that and 'turning away from it', rather than taking an opportunity to discuss it..that's the good thing I think about reality TV, it does touch on so many elements of society as well with the mixture of characters it allows voices to.../that's important I think, for us to understand more, even with things we might find quite unpleasant../distasteful etc....

it is hard to blank out their history, I certainly couldn't with last years winner and my view on her is still exactly the same...but this guy I know nothing about...I don't even know if the tweets are real....but mostly I don't know anything about his background, his influences or the people around him when he was younger....people don't show fear like that and ignorance like that for no reason and I agree with you, people can change and redeem themselves....I refuse to judge this guy without knowing the facts....I saw insecurity in the others but not in him yet...Natalie confrontational...Ryan shouting over everyone and Charlie passive aggressive ...but this guy so far has done nothing other than appear measured and a potentially good game player ...

Absolutely not. Tila should have never been either. They should only be ejected based upon instances that occur within in the house. I'm sure you could find reasons to eject a good few of them if you looked into their backgrounds and histories.

So what should happen? He should live on the dole for the rest of his life because some delicate flowers sought out his old tweets and queued up to take offence at them?

Perhaps he should be branded on his forehead with the word "twitter troll" so that everyone knows never to employ him again.

Yeah? Everyone's entitled to their opinion on whether he should be ejected, and after some of he responses in the thread my view has changed a little.

I voted yes from a consistency basis - i.e. it's inconsistent/unfair for them to kick out Tila and not do the same for Andrew. However I do agree with those saying that he should only be ejected if he does something bad in the house (which is what I thought should've been done for Tila).

I guess my desire for the show to be consistent and fair won over in influencing my vote in the poll on this occasion.

But to answer your question, yes I accept the result, if not I would've said "only vote in the poll if you agree with me!!!" :joker:

So it's perfectly fine for someone to post blatantly racist things on the Internet and get away with it because they didn't say it in the house. But is isn't okay for someone to black up as a joke not meant to offend anyone, before they were in the house.

That's some twisted kind of logic there, Hayden.

09-06-2016, 10:39 AM
No, as it was in the past. If it was like a few months ago then fair enough but it was 4 years ago and I think people are slightly making a big deal out of it.

But last year people dug up years old Danny and he was judged for them, if Andrew was 19 at the time or whatever I'd understand, but he was 25.

My opinion is that he shouldn't, but considering they ejected Tila for her comments, I think he should.

No, it's not okay at all, and I don't think he should've been cast in the first place - however producers shouldn't eject him in the house AFTER they have had what, 3 or 4 months to do a background check on this guy, spent money putting him in hiding, creating his profile shots etc just for him to be ejected in week 1 like Tila. Now that he's in the house, he should only be ejected once he says something offensive (which he probably will), but from a consistency point of view, he should be ejected like Tila.

I'm struggling to express my point clearly, I know I sound like a hypocritical mess all over the place, but it makes sense in my head :laugh:

But they are cartoon characters? Big Brother is a cartoon show. It hasn't been a social experiment since about 2003. They are merely characters in one of the most false environments on television, it's like an unscripted soap opera. You cannot tell me Big Brother is real life because it isn't, and therefore the real lives of the people who enter to become housemates and characters are just not relevant to what occurs within the confines of a glorified television set.

How can people redeem themselves or surprise us if we don't know their pasts? This may be true for Celebrity Big Brother because the lives of the housemates are well documented (although I still think it's silly not to judge the celebs on a blank slate), but for the civilians? Absolutely not. I mean sure, the forums and social media have uncovered some pretty nasty tweets made by Andrew - but they were four years ago for starters and let's be honest, you cannot gauge what a person is truly like from their social media account, this is true for everyone.

Unless you suggest we get the entire documented history of each and every housemate with character references from those who know them and every single detail of everything they've ever done good or bad, we just simply do not know them, and it is silly to suggest otherwise. We get to know them - in the 48 minutes we have a night mind you - on the television show we are watching. That is the point of the programme.

No need to go over the top. If something comes to light about a HM, it's human nature to be influenced by that according to your own set of values and morals. Over the course of the series you then change your mind or have your impression of them confirmed.

But they are cartoon characters?

No they aren't. That's why BB is called a REALITY show. You can't leave yourself behind when you walk into that house and become a different character....You'll always bring yourself along. :hehe:
