Should The Housemates be Made Aware of Liams Tragic Passing?

[UserSince2005]

Given the tragic news should this news be kept from the housemates.

[ThomasC]

No they should not be made aware

[GoldGlitter]

He's hardly Michael jackson or David Bowie so no.

[Ray.]

I suppose. I mean it'd be relevant to a large portion of them, given the general age group in there.

[ThomasC]

He's hardly Michael jackson or David Bowie so no.

He had the same impact though.

Believe it or not.

But still they should not be made aware

[Kate!]

He's hardly Michael jackson or David Bowie so no.

Don't be derogatory. He was a huge star who made a massive impact on hearts and minds.

I do think they should be told yes.

[Ray.]

And holiday resort pathways...

To soon?

:hehe:

[Benjamin]

Not really. No contact with outside world.

[Crimson Dynamo]

lol

er no

most wont care 2 hoots

[GoldGlitter]

When Liam Payne fell off that balcony in Argentina a few people tried to grab him. But apparently he was only going in the One Direction.

hearts and minds of teenage girls not really anyone else

[Oliver_W]

He had the same impact though.

Believe it or not.

Hmm.

Him personally? Nah. Has he even had much of a solo career?



(Not deriding him as a person or his music, but he's no MJ or Bowie)

Disgusting thing to say.

Complete lack of empathy.

[ThomasC]

(Not deriding him as a person or his music, but he's no MJ or Bowie)

It's not about him having a solo career.

He's not in the sense of music, but I truly believe he had as big impact

[Kate!]

hearts and minds of teenage girls not really anyone else

Garbage. Sorry but you're wrong.

[Kate!]

Hmm.

Him personally? Nah. Has he even had much of a solo career?

Oliver that's just your opinion. I'm afraid you are in a minority. Not that there's anything wrong with being in a minority. But it sounds derisory and dismissive.

[Ammi]

…not really, I don’t think…there are often significant events happen during BB and their time in the house and it wouldn’t be fair to ‘rate’ the importance of them by relaying one but not another…they are all aware of the no world event contact and will all have been given more detail of it so they themselves wouldn’t expect it…and in a way it wouldn’t be fair to them either if it was ‘shock news that had a personal impact on them’…and that impact had to be processed publicly, or not in privacy around their fellow housemates as well…so many reasons I feel, why it wouldn’t benefit for them to be told and would serve no purpose…

[Crimson Dynamo]

He had the same impact though.

Believe it or not.



:joker:

what unmitigated bollox

[Kate!]

:joker:

what unmitigated bollox

It really isn't? Do you want me to catalogue his achievements, both with 1D and solo? That's a rhetorical question btw.

[Beso]

:idc: you are extremely rude and negative. He's a person, that is who he is. He deserves some respect.

Why?

He didn't sound like he has much respect for his exes.:shrug:

[Kate!]

Why?

He didn't sound like he has much respect for his exes.:shrug:

He was an extremely troubled young man Parm? With strong mental health issues? He's dead fgs. Let's not speak ill.

[vesavius]

This isn't like Elvis or Prince passing really though, is it? I mean... It's sad that he died, let's give him some respect here, but it isn't a cultural event or anything.

No need to fall out about it either in all honesty. What's so hard in just understanding that some have feelings about this and being cool with that?

[GoldGlitter]

Why?

He didn't sound like he has much respect for his exes.:shrug:

I would never have him as ex. He's been baiting me for days.

[Kate!]

Bless.

No dramas hun

I don't know who you are either, I don't think we've ever spoken so how I am begging for a reaction from you is bewilderingly.

And I can assure you more people know about me than you sweetheartrrr.

But carry on with your unfunny jokes about someone who has just taken their life. You are a lovely human.

Extremely well said.

[Kate!]

I would never have him as ex. He's been baiting me for days.

Has he feck? What utter rubbish. If anyone is baiting it's you, posting sick jokes??

You're missing the point? To the fans, and there are huge numbers of them, it's every bit as devastating as Prince, MJ, Elvis, whoever you care to name?

[vesavius]

You're missing the point? To the fans, and there are huge numbers of them, it's every bit as devastating as Prince, MJ, Elvis, whoever you care to name?

Yes, and I acknowledge that. But it's sad within the fandom, but not a cultural event. That's all I am saying... So it doesn't need to be mentioned in the house.

This is in no way me devaluing how the fans feel about it.

Honestly, I am not one of the ones picking a fight with you here. I am saying respect your feelings on it.

[Kate!]

Yes Vesavius. I see that you are not at all being disrespectful to myself I do.

In my eyes though it is a cultural event.

[vesavius]

That's the only point in which we differ.

But, I know it's still raw and emotions are high about it so I'm not interested in making you or anyone else feel worse about it than you do so I am good with leaving it at that :)

lol all this drama over a question. :joker:

it may be but to try and make an equivalence is plainly ridiculous

[Kate!]

Why?

One Direction were huge. Massive. Worldwide.

Why are people negating this? It doesn't have to be your sort of music to recognise as such.

Honestly! :shrug:

[jones89]

I personally don’t think they should be told.. but i wouldn’t put it past them to do so for “shock value” which is what it would be at the end of the day

[UserSince2005]

Shame there isnt a Housemate called Liam who they can pretend has died.

[Niamh.]

Why? It's sad and all but he's just a celebrity, none of them knew him I presume

[UserSince2005]

In the past when celebrities have died Big Brother has been okay with telling the housemates. Even other Celebrity news has often been told to housemates in the past in tasks and such. BB8 they told them that Umbrella by Rihanna was no1 for however many weeks lol.

Like who? I know they found out about David Bowie but that was only because of the David's dead mix up and they only told Angie because she was his ex wife and the father of her son

[UserSince2005]

Michael Jackson BB10

[Mystic Mock]

Not really. No contact with outside world.

This is my feeling about it too.

[MTVN]

No chance, they shouldn't have been told about MJ either

[Niamh.]

Michael Jackson BB10

world of difference between Michael Jackson and Liam Payne tbf, was that the only time? I think it would be a bit gratuitous to tell them just so they could be upset for entertainment value, something would feel a bit off about that imo

[UserSince2005]

Yeah I can’t think of any other times but also cannot think of any other shocking celeb deaths that have occurred whilst BB was filming.

I remember during BB6 they didn’t tell the housemates about the London Bombings.

[smudgie]

No.
The only time it was relevant was when Bowie died.

[Alf]

He had the same impact though.

Believe it or not.

But still they should not be made aware:laugh:

[Lostie!]

No. It's shocking but it's nothing they need to be told about, it doesn't affect any of them personally. They were only told about Michael Jackson in BB10 because Federico mentioned it already.

[Ammi]

No.
The only time it was relevant was when Bowie died.

…and look at the confusion and messiness that caused…eeeek…

[UserSince2005]

…and look at the confusion and messiness that caused…eeeek…

Well it made for arguably the most referenced moment in entire BBUK history.

[Ray.]

I don't think I'd go that far lol

[Ammi]

Well it made for arguably the most referenced moment in entire BBUK history.

…oh absolutely, it all led to some iconic BB moments…:laugh:..so many emotions of devastation and shock and misunderstandings and accusations etc…

[Niamh.]

I don't think I'd go that far lol

I actually agree with him, It was one of the funniest situations ever on BB imo

[Ray.]

I actually agree with him, It was one of the funniest situations ever on BB imo

It's up there, but I don't think it's the absolute most iconic moment.

[Crimson Dynamo]

definitely the funniest ever CBB moment

[Niamh.]

It's up there, but I don't think it's the absolute most iconic moment.

Well it's a bit subjective I suppose, other ones that popped into my head were the Nasty Nick confrontation and Jade Goody "Am I mingin?'"

[Ray.]

Yep, thos two are definitely in there. Also Nikki's iconic 'WHO IS SHE?!'

[Niamh.]

Yeah, although I didn't watch that series so for me it's an iconic reference but not one I watched as it happened

[Benjamin]

:oh:

[Ray.]

Oh and of course, the bottle.

That was grim, I try not to remember that one

[MTVN]

Davids dead was actually a rare moment - particularly for more recent series - that cut through way beyond BB. It gets mentioned a lot as one of the most surreal moments of TV even by those who never watch BB

[Niamh.]

Yeah, my daughter doesn't watch big brother but she happened to be there with me the night that happened and she was gobsmacked and still brings it up now :laugh:

[Zizu]

Given the tragic news should this news be kept from the housemates.

[GoldHeart]

Exactly
Defeats the whole point, they were only told about MJ
.... because Frederico broke the rules & told Noirin when he entered.

Didn't need to confirm it though did they, wouldnt be suprised if that was all a set up anyway.

[GlitterUK]

I feel the house should be kept in the dark. It could trigger housemates of their own personal circumstances which would be unfair. Everyone's mental health and wellbeing is key.

They confirmed it because Noirin was told , and the cat was already out the bag...so in that Situation ,it was a case of screw it just share it with everyone now.
