It's Big Brother, and what's more, it's Big Brother TEN. They all know what they put themselves up for when they went into the house. They are monitored constantly and if there was a problem they'd be whisked out PDQ.

Neither Channel 4 nor Endemol are notices at this, and they're all guided by lawyers. Freddie would have signed a contract before he went in there, so good luck if his family decide to claim a breach of duty of care. Channel 4 and Endemol will be able to prove that "resonable steps" will have been taken to ensure the housemates' mental and physical wellbeing.
Well it's good to know Freddie is in safe hands mate ... oh wait
Mate?

I think you'll find he's in safer hands in the BB house than he was at Oxford uni. He's certainly better monitored.

I do think Bea needs to be given a verbal warning by BB for her bullying tactics. What an atrocious person she is. Are they all like themselves on the outside (if you see what I mean?!). If so, we have people with serious personality disorders :rolleyes:

I agree with the OP here's why I think it's allowed to happen:

It's the Endemol/Daily Mail code of conduct - in other words stamp all over supposed 'racist abuse' and 'threats of physical violence' without even bothering to check the facts first (and don't apologise when proved wrong) whilst simultaneously turning a blind eye to the 'subtle' verbal bullying that is actually going on all the time.

It's so transparent its unbelievable but there you go...

Appeal to the lowest common denominator...its a winning strategy I tells ya :devil:

If you care so much then evict him.

If him winning at any cost is more important to you, keep him in.

No one held a gun at these peoples' heads. They all jumped through hoops to get into that house. They knew what it was all about and despite that, they still have psychologists and doctors standing by in case of mental or physical problems. I really don't understand why BB always have to be painted at the the Big, Bad B*stards because they're providing what we're all watching and talking about. If you feel the abuse is that bad, don't watch it.

Fully agree with the OP, except not sure about pressing legal proceedings.

All HMs know what they may be getting into and can leave at any time. At the same time, WHY should a HM HAVE to leave due to intimidation. Some of the antics thrown at Freddie have been nothing short of intimidation (thinking of Lisa in first few weeks and also Charlie/others shouting him down and not letting him get a word in).

I do feel, and I know jegmeister and one or two others agree, that Freddie is a vulnerable person. Some of his antics are distasteful at times, but they can be largely explained by his need to 'fit in' and as a reaction to be being bullied and isolated.

It is so good to know that there are quite alot of FMs who seem to have a grounded understanding of the HMs.

Freedie fans want to get the sympathy train up and running again. If it wasn't for Lisa and co Freddie would have been thrown ages ago. He's done nothing since then except creep us all out with his general randyness toward Bea.
