It's at 0:50 and there's only a small clip, him saying, "I think the worst are bisexuals"

It's kinda sad it feels surreal to see Big Brother mentioned anywhere outside of C5 nowadays

Good he deserves it!!!

[Ant.]

Good he deserves it!!!

I'm still baffled how people thought his comments were okay?? I'm glad that more people can see it and be disgusted by it

Remember in Pete's Top 50 of 2016 when he got #31 out of 50 people???? Outranking people that look waaay better than him like Scotty, John, Darren Day, Sam Giffen, Stephanie Davis, Kristina, Andrew Tate, Grant Bovey, Alex Cannon,, etc. Like HOW??? :skull:

Hate him. The fact that people thought that these comments were okay is actually disgusting. If he said this abouts gays people would kick off but since he said if about people like me and people thought this was right is just wrong.

^Yeah exactly!

And oh my GOODNESS. Remember when he was removed and loads of viewers were complaining about how he should be allowed to hold his own views, no matter HOW severe??? :umm2: There's right to free speech and then there's just plain hate speech. The reaction to his (deserved) removal was the first early sign CBB18 would be baaaad.

Agree completely. Awful man, and the people trying to defend it were even worse.

He ranked THAT high?! He was probably tied with Bear as the worst HM of 2016. Its probably because people ranked him high because controversy equals entertainment equals good housemate!!

Why was I surprised Bear won when there was so much uproar that Bighins very offensive comments caused his ejection?? ESPECIALLY when he brought up HIV/AIDs

I loathe people who use "freedom of speech" as an excuse. That's so you can hate on Theresa May without being shot, not an excuse to discriminate on ethnic minorities. It's a crime for a reason

I can't believe Ofcom didn't take his comments even further. They were direct insults to the LGBT+community and I'm fairly sure he attacked other groups.

[reece(:]

He's tragic

[Jay28jay2]

Vile disgusting man, never liked him anyway

[Greg!]

Ugh he really was disgusting

[Lostie!]

His comments were awful (especially from a gay man). And Renee was just as bad (but her part is always overlooked).

I actually got around to watching the full thing today and her comments were aired later on ("that [bisexuals] upsets me. ... Pick a team!") I completely forgot she said that :umm2: I don't see why she didn't get warned. She certainly didn't take it as disgustingly far as Biggins did but I feel awkward because I enjoyed her so much and I didn't even remember her biphobia :worry:
