Since when has "Goading" been against the rules?

[ThriceShy]

Can't believe what I just watched. The godfather in drag has just been in a rage screaming at Bear and Heavy D and a completely calm and passive Bear gets called into the diary room.:shrug:

[Pete.]

Since BB is trying to cushion the B word

[Jordan.]

Since BB is trying to cushion the B word

Oop, the tea!

[lewis111]

Since BB is trying to cushion the B word

Exactly
There would be an outcry from Bear fans if they said "don't bully Renee" so they covered it up

:clap1:
I'm just saying

[ThriceShy]

It gets worse. Heavy D was called in and warned for "antagonising" people.

WTF???? If people can't goad and antagonise then how will it ever kick off? May as well just call the programme "Big Crochet Circle" and have them all sat round chatting about trivia.

[caprimint]

Yeah I was thinking this too. They can't even pour food over the floor anymore because of how the other housemates react to it. :facepalm: The bores are ruining our entertainment.

[Withano]

I don't know why I was expecting a different reaction from Bear fans. I guess some people watch objectively and some watch it with a heavy bias after they pick a fave.

[rubymoo]

I found it interesting that Bear has been antagonising since day one and it's only now that Heavy D has started to copy with the throwing around and wasting of food that BB has decided to step in, i mean they put on a video of Bear wasting tomato soup and tinned tomatoes to a silly cheeky chappy tune on the Channel 5 page......curious........

Biased and designed to save Lewis :bored:

[hot2go]

Goading is what BB do constantly...what do they call showing noms to the house ? It's the nature of the show and always has been.

[Mystic Mock]

I know that a lot of people on TIBB dislike him and will say that BB was right on what they did, but overall I agree with you.

BB is suppose to be a social experiment, wind up merchants are apart of social groups so why is this a warranting a warning?

Imo what he did out in the Garden was worse.

[power2thepeople]

Maybe it's other issues other than goading. Regardless of what constitutes a celebrity these days in BB, a trail of oily liquid across the garden is a health and safety issue. Who stumps up for any compensation if someone slips and is injured? There was enough justified uproar when Aubrey spat in food which was a health and safety issue. Same thing and it fully deserved warnings.

[chuff me dizzy]

I thought the same thing last night Thrice ........Do they want an house full of Rickys,Katie,Renees,Aubreys,Sams ?

Theres only 1 sink fgs

Things are perfectly capable of kicking off naturally in an environment like the BB house.

Goading and antagonising people deliberately isn't entertainment it's just being a complete knob.

But its part of life Josy ......can you bear to think what this series or any other BB series would have been like with a bit of goading ? Would you want to watch them all sitting round being nice (and fake) to each other? I would have switched off long ago

Why must you associate being nice with being fake

I'm a nice person and I can tell you it's completely genuine

You have a warped sense of life

It's only part of life if you make it part of life

Some people just want to get on have fun and a laugh

Like BB of old. When did negativity become such a draw

People thrive off it

I shun negativity in all areas on my life

How is pouring food on the floor entertainment?

[elliebrew]

Not at this capacity

A little nudge here and there

By your own standards legends like Dowling and Graham wouldn't have got a look in

BB is the antagonistic force

Housemates are meant to come together to work against BB not have to put up with that behaviour from their fellow HM

[caprimint]

How is pouring food on the floor entertainment?
Because of the housemates' reactions. They normally allow this kinda stuff but they're being extra PC this series.

[Liam-]

lmao goading and antagonising isn't 'just a part of life' and if it is for some people then I feel for them.

[Miranda123]

Can't believe what I just watched. The godfather in drag has just been in a rage screaming at Bear and Heavy D and a completely calm and passive Bear gets called into the diary room.:shrug:

It has ALWAYS been against the rules, at least since 'Fight Night' when Emma and Co were goading Jason/Victor

The thing with goading is, you are trying to get someone to go crazy, and do something, BB dont want that

Plus the way Stephen does it, would, in any other situation, get him killed, or at the very least, badly wounded. He is only prepared to do it cause he knows they cant kill him, as they are in there. Id love to see him do that in my local pub

Theyd never find the body!

you find throwing food entertaining??

you need to get out more

[caprimint]

If I'm watching a tv show I don't want to see them all sat around the table drinking tea, talking about gardening and 'how things were different in their day'. Throwing food naturally sparks some kind of reaction from the others, therefore yes in effect it is entertaining.

You dont want to watch people sit around a drink tea.. So watching people waste food?? Is a better?? Alternative?? That doesnt make sense.. You dont have to support twattishness just for the sake of no other reason, you can support nobody instead?

[Shaun]

"oh he has thrown some food, this is now must-see TV"

some people are beyond help lmao

Why doesn't that make sense? Why is drinking tea going to make people mad? :conf:

I support people who I enjoy watching - hence why I'm supporting Bear. I'm more than aware of the fact I don't have to support anyone and if that was the case I would probably stop watching, but I'm not somebody who is moaning that this series is terrible.

That makes sense, the post i quoted did not and you sounded as if you was only supporting twattishness because theres no other alternative. Now youve made it clear that you would enjoy twattishness regardless i getchya.

I'm sure he would be laughed out of most locals, with his tail between his legs. Most people would find his immature behaviour pathetic. And if he goaded in the way he has done in the house, he would definitely get a reaction he didn't want!

You think Bear should be called into the diary room because Renee is angrily ranting?:shrug:

Wow, that's some definition of objectivity that you have.

Imo what he did out in the Garden was worse.

they still have a duty of care and I guess even the producers were thinking that if they were in there with him, they would kill him, so they better stop it before one of the HM's did just that!

[Garfie]

I think people are wanting some sort of balance in what we watch, rather than everything being focused an one person and one form of behaviour, which for some just isn't entertaining. A little variety would be good, as would the opportunity to see something less contrived and naturally comical.

The other housemates might be shown drinking tea, washing up or discussing gardening, and I agree that is boring. However, that is clearly an editing choice, as common sense would tell us that this is not all they are doing- sometimes that is evident on the live feed, even though the cameras there seem to be focused very much on the same housemates as the main show.

Unfortunately, the producers are editing the programme to make it appear that way due to their decision to make Bear their 'star' this series. Therefore, it suits their purpose to present the other housemates as boring.

[Withano]

Wow, that's some definition of objectivity that you have.

I tried to explain to you a little while ago how this show doesnt revolve around you personally. Warnings are made based on the offence that the housemates take or the potential offence it could cause the audience. You not taking offence is completely, and i mean entirely, irrelevant.

but you didnt understand this last time I explained this to you so I wont get my hopes up for now.

[Ian Coke]

It gets worse. Heavy D was called in and warned for "antagonising" people.

The problem with this is that when the likes of Bear and Colin are goaded back, they tend to start destroying the furniture. Most people in there seem quite frightened by both of them. Particularly Colin, who is a large animal, with apparently no idea about personal boundaries.

[Livia]

Watching someone being a pr1ck is not entertaining. Well... not to me. Apparently some people find it hilarious.

Bear stirs up every dispute in that house. He's at the bottom of every problem. I can see it. Big Brother can see it. Lots of people on here can see it. You can't see it. So, you're either ignoring it or you're really not very perceptive. Which is it?

Good post.

[puzzled]

Maybe the producers have realised that a lot of us find the Bear show to be boring. Bear is a one-trick pony. I wonder how many people voted in the last eviction.

[south12345]

For the show to be entertaining it has to have a little bit of everything, not a constant barrage of the same behaviour over and over again which makes it very boring and difficult to watch.

[waterhog]

I totally agree - it was bit like when deadwood were in - it focussed on them so much it got boring.

variety is the spice of life.

[Ian Coke]

I'm wondering how Stephen's going to cope with reality, when he gets back to it? He's in paradise at the moment, like one of those guys you hear about who fall in love with war, in Vietnam or wherever. Regular day-to-day is going to seem like a drag, after these glorious times of getting wrecked every night, and having a, literally, captive audience for his japes. Surely the smart cash has to be on a Gazza-type orgy of self-destruction?
