It is not discrimination at all, I'm not against anyone speaking about their battles with depression as many have. What I am against is the possibility that they may be seeking out celebs with obvious mental health issues as they did with Paula Hamilton.
That is all I'm trying to say whatever else has been said, that is my view.

what ever josy.

I agree with your views, BB seems to think that unless there is some kind of awful reaction, that people wont watch the programme, when in reality this is why people are switching off. The whole series has been dumbed down to suit the minority as opposed to the majority of us who like the original format, not these desperado contestants that keep polluting our screens.

Get real people in and real games afoot and real issues will surface. Its only human nature. pay shed loads of cash to numpties that are only interested in the camera and getting out as quick as possible and the series falls into the hands of the desperados that need the airtime to rejuvenate their careers that are dead because they are no longer of any interest to anyone, THATS WHY THE VIEWING FIGURES ARE BAD AND FALLING.

Ask 100 people out shopping if they want to see an x junkie doing a meltdown on tv or if they want to see a well known name having fun and maybe the odd argument and 90% will say the later. BB are buying up numpties that appeal to the 10% group and ignoring the 90% group.

I guess it totally depends on the severity of the illness. I suffer from depression and anxiety but I manage to hold down a full time responsible job, run a house, raise my 4 year old and deal with the very recent loss of a very close family member without having any major meltdowns but I would be classed as having a mental illness and therefore in the opinions of some unable to enter the house? Each case should be classed on individually but I do agree with Kizzy that the producers should not be hunting down obviously unstable celebs.
