Was Putting A Blind Person In A Mistake?

[KKBL]

when we found out there would be a blind housemate this year(Mikey) alot of people where saying its a mistake.but now 5 week in whats you opinion?

[Spike]

I thought it was a mistake but now I don't
I did think he would ruin the quality of tasks set but he hasn't, the tasks have been really good while Michael has been able to do them
He is just another housemate and I can't see why it was a mistake

[Mimsy]

Not at all in my opinion, I judge him on what he's like as a person, I wouldnt make allowances for his behaviour because he happens to be blind.

I don't think it's a mistake.
I think most people dislike him, as opposed to his disability.

[bigbr0ther]

Of course not. People were saying the same thing about putting Pete & Nikki in. Personally I think banning people based on things like that would be a mistake because it's better to have diversity.

I was skeptical to begin with but he's settled in fine.

[Mrluvaluva]

Not at all. There are no reasons to show it was a mistake.

I thought it was at the begining but now I think he's doing OK.

At first I thought what is the point because he won't be able to take part in anything and no-body will mix with him. But now I don't really think it is because no-one treats him any different really and he seems to be having a good time he doesn't let his disability get to him which is good.

No I don't think it was a mistake. When I watch the highlight shows now I try to forget about the fact that he's blind, and treat him as a normal housemate, as if he was able to see. Now that I've done this, I've seen him in a different light, and actually I think he's not a bad housemate afterall.
