davina to help blind man into house

[thebigbigbrotherfan]

davina is to go in to the house well to the guards who will than take over and help the men into the house.

but it don't stop at that no cars this year it a van

[Matt]

Who said there was even a blind man going in this year?

That's just press speculation...

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I dont think it will happen
too complicated

[thebigbigbrotherfan]

Where?

[getoverit!]

yeh true i met him wicked guy he was in the group thing with me there was like 6 of us i think! he truely is sooooooooooo funny really awesome guy he's scottish if its the same person blonde hair slim dresses kinda like a hippy so nich though and good luck to him why not put a blind person on the show! xx

[Barbie]

I saw on Heatworld that there will be a blind man entering who will be helped in by davina and then left with the other housemates and that housemates are being dropped off in vans instead of limos

[rhombus92]

i dont see why a blind person cant be in it. that would explain the sheer size of the house, and the simplicity. no small or awkward furniture this year. the stairs outside are also simple to ascend. i wonder will he have a blind dog... he hast to have something if he is going in

[Kate..]

Yeah I don't see why he can't be put in but I can see it going a bit far. If there are mean housemates they could take the piss out of them and it could really cause some quite horribleness in the house. I'm all for tension and arguments.. But i think it would be different.

[Xander]

I don't believe I mean if the housemates started teasing him and mis-guiding him look how much trouble channel 4 would get it in, they wouldn't risk it.

[Lemo]

Fancy putting an blind person in aye

Well, Its good and bad


If this is true it shows that big brother takes in anyone of any type (invalid gay transvestite) etc etc,

but the bad thing is.

He needs a dog, Or some professional guidence, you dont know what the housemates are gonna do? swearing in his face or making immature gestures could lead channel4 in alot of trouble!

I very much doubt any housemate is sick enough to take the mick. If so, their problem, kick em' out. I think it would be great, gain the show promotion and be a good raise awareness for blind people.

The only downside is a guranteed winner ala Pete - BB7.

[Kate..]

You needn't assume the blind person will be winner material. He can still be a right old as**ole. Just because he's blind, doesn't mean he's nice and worth winning.

I see your point though, if he is a good guy, he pretty much is going to win.

[JOSHUAH!]

The Sun claims Davina will help the man up the steps, with security guards taking him inside.

I don't think it's been confirmed, but its certainly interesting. Not sure if I'd like the idea though, it will surely be hard for him won't it?

[Tom]

I wouldn't like to see a blind housemate because it could be quite limiting when it comes to tasks because the tasks will have to be adapted or the blind person exempt from tasks.

However I wouldn't be against someone partially sighted or someone blind in one eye entering.

[Jack_]

Well I'm not exactly against having a blind person in the house, however I don't think I would like to watch the housemates having to run around after he/she.

So I think I'd rather not have someone blind in the house.

[Bigbrothersbigbumwtf]

Shattered Eyes make shattered vision...

[*mazedsalv**]

It must be really hard to not know what a housemate looks like. I hope he doesnt go in because then he would get the sympathy vote.

I don't think the eye has absolutely nothing to do that, when Daniel Eatock made the eye the line-up hadn't even been chosen.

Yeah, I heard Daniel Eatock makes sure the eye design takes the piss out of at least one speculative housemate.

I'm all for giving people with diasblilties/problems (in this case - blindness) fair chances to experience what other people do, but we need to accept that there are some things that they just cannot do and going into the bb house is one of them.

All of the tasks would have to be designed around them and this would limit producers to the possiblilities. BB/Housemates would have to run after them 24/7. It would sort of defeat the object of the show becuase they can't really nominate - they can't see other housemates.

Anyway its similar to the race row - if there is other mean housemates it could be the bb race row over again but this time.... "The Big Brother Blind Barney*"

* for those who might not know - a barney is a fight/argument

[Sammeth]

I remember when Big Brother did the sleep deprevation task last year, and they had to put padding on all sharp corners etc. And that was just incase they got sleepy. Just imagine how restricted tasks will be if a blind person does end up going in.

I doubt its true to be honest. I just can't see it happening.

You do know that a lot of blind people are fairly capable of doing things for themselves? Blind people, especially those blind from birth have had to live with the condition for years and have learned to adapt, they can live on their own, do cooking, go for walks etc and basically do most stuff able sighted people can do. They are not complete invalids you know.

Thats 100% true. However we have to look at it from a health and safety standpoint. Channel 4 would have to be very careful. Big Brother would have to set safe tasks because its a liability. As with regular sighted housemates, precautians have to be made. But can you imagine how much the press would milk it if a blind contestant got injured? I mean if a regular sighted housemate got injured in a task it would just be "Housemate injured in task." But with a blind man getting injured the press would milk it for all its worth and make it 1000x worse.

Ive just read through what I wrote above, and sometimes I get the feeling like I know what Im trying to say, but it isnt always clear. So yaknow, if it makes no sense I apologise :D

[Benji]

I dont think any blind person will be going into the house.

We are talking Blind as if he cannot see at all - but if anything, he will be partially sighted and probably dosent need help at all.

I totally get ya. The press would have a field day with it and for that it probably is wise not to put a blind person into the house. I was simply responding to the poster that was acting like the housemates would have to wait hand and foot on the blind person like he was paralysed or something. :tongue:

[stonedape]

If a blind person is going in, I guarantee they will be able bodied, one of those "prove them wrong" types with a winning personality. He/She may even be legally blind but still able to see with assistance.

Which would be swell and all, but I don't want another obvious winner. Make sure they have a personality flaw if they're coming in with a major disability.

It would be an interesting statement about this year's "Shattered Eye"...although again it's too obvious so no.

[Killian]

I don't want to be mean, but having a blind man in this would frustrate me. It would guarantee him a finale position I think.

[BiggerBro]

I seriously doubt that Channel 4 have the confidence to put in a blind man in to the house.

[Bigbrothersbigbumwtf]

I think anyone should be given the chance if they have the star potential. But i also think people can be horrible. The public, the housemates, the media...and it would be hard to defend yourself in the house so i'm thinking channel 4 should take the risks but not the risks that will get the show off air

[Loukas]

I'm going to be honest, i dunno what to think of this. I mean, yes i do believe everyone should be given a fair chance, and yeah he/she might be the best housemate we have ever seen on big brother but i don't want them to win with a sympathy vote, i mean, thats just not fair is it!? The layout of the house is hard for them to travel around too, the angular walls make it difficult for them to go round the house. If a blind person goes into the house, channel 4 are taking big risks then need to think really carefully first, like for example we always get d****** housemates that might take the blind person as a spastic or something you just never know. I just dunno what to think..
