So they go from a series all about female-empowerment with all sorts of relatively political and social discussions about gender, pay, sexual freedom and trans issues, to a series 7 months later where they've literally cast someone because he supposedly harassed a woman, two others for cheating on women, and tried to centre the series around a pornstar who is embroiled in a legal row with the literal President of the USA. :skull: And kick straight off with a task where someone has to take cold showers for a few days.

People really thought this show was changing for the better, huh?

In-****ing-deed.

I am actually so angry at them for casting that Dan. The cheating and stuff is 'fine', but the violence threats towards his ex and that, just no. Casting that other guy for sexual harassment is a bit of a kick in the teeth too tbh.

I didn’t even think about it like that but Jesus Christ you’re so right :joker:

Chill. Hardeep was accused - nothing more. Or are we hanging people on the strength of finger pointing?

They based the whole show and theme around a porn star who is routinely abused by and for mens pleasure

no fake news, it's called eye of the storm, which means all the housemates this series have storms around them, have/had some sort of trouble, came over in a negative way in the media

they got the idea and naame from Stormy Daniels


Hardeep has not been in the news for a decade so that blows your theory wide apart

Or... if she had been named president, and as she would to be in charge of others... so she'd have everyone in her "eye" so to speak... so it's non-literal but so very meta all the same... whoever came up with this must be kicking themselves....

In the MeToo era this is a pretty awful. I’d go so far as to say it’s abominable actually...

I think it's safe to say now... that it was a Week in January of the Woman... it went no further than that.

I bet Jess Impiazzi is seething she had to pretend to care about Ann Widdecombe’s views when if she’d have held off a few more months she could have snogged Dan from TOWIE and got her tits out in the jacuzzi

Yeah and look how boring cbb21 was lol I was hoping it’d be a mix of social commentary and classic Bb drama but it was lacking in both

Like I get ur point and ur kinda right but it’s not like Cbb is endorsing them. My main worry is that this series will either be super boring or super tacky
