Biggins' ejection is a travesty and his (perhaps unwise) occasional comments pale into insignificance when compared with Bear's violence and intimidating behaviour, yet Bear's the one who stays.

Considering he was such a fan of the show this seems utterly unfair. I hope he still gets his fee but something tells me there will be a clause in his contract that states he won't if sacked.

Agreed, Biggins is in for a rough time in the future, and I feel sorry for the way he's been treated. However, I don't feel too sorry because I'm sure he's pretty wealthy and spending more time at home with his money and his many A-list celeb friends is not going to be too bad for him.

Wouldn't put it past the producers as they clearly deem it acceptable to reveal a housemates ejection without showing the full amount of evidence leading to their exclusion. Shambles!

Personally I feel that we should decide who should live in the house. Katie Hopkins had it right in CBB15. People should be voted out. Not censored out. (obviously if physical violence entered the equation then obviously a housemate should definitely be ejected!)

I means it's a show for adults, BB is to sensitive just let the HM's get on with it as long as there is no violence or threats of violence.

totally unfair that BB should chuck biggins out. when I heard what they had done I thought it was for something major, it ended up being hardly anything at all. a great misjustice

TheMachine 06-08-2016 11:39 PM

Biggins clearly said some other things not aired because it was very bad. Which was the real reason he got removed. Just the bisexual aids thing was more of same.

I trust BB's judgement, they always make the right decisions :)

I agree. Let the public hear the conversations and decide by the public vote whether we find something offensive or not.

wendywillow 07-08-2016 12:17 AM

its ridiculous, and to not show the comments makes it worse. everyone afraid to offend anyone, and over a joke, and the did biggins no favors allowing a rumored transcript to makes the rounds for a day before saying that's not what happened

The public don't need to hear anything offensive because BB has the power of editing material out. It should be the duty of the program editors to protect the public and only if housemates complain about offensive statements from a fellow housemate should BB then consider eviction or not.

It's more than likely that lawyers are advising what can be aired. Like I said above if they chose not to air any of it then lawyers would not need to be involved.

I've been out all night. Can someone tell me what happeneed?

letmein 07-08-2016 03:25 AM

Of course, as he broke the rules. However, others have as well. There should be others out too. They obviously didn't air his first bit because the show was pushing for him to win early on.

Well, blaming a community of people for a disease that kills entire nations can lead to another Holocaust. A tad different. Bear should be thrown out as well though. What Biggins said is extremely dangerous, and the show obviously had had it with warning him.

They were my thoughts too, not that the ratings were low but Biggins was dispensable and he was thrown under the metaphorical bus just to keep the program in the headlines.

It looks like we have arrived at a time in history when everyone is a victim and no one can comment on anything with out fear of repercussions, hardly the recipe for stimulating conversation or watching- so a bit of an own goal by CBB.

:clap2: it was a very soft ousting given the carry on of others in there not a Biggins fan but that was harsh, had he been on a final formal warning I wonder :think:

Xanzia 07-08-2016 06:59 AM

I cannot imagine why he is there at all. Just his prehistoric-bird like laughing is plenty for me.

So we know he publicly blamed the bisexual.community for spreading the worst killer disease in history but unless he upsets Katie you can't decide if he should have been thrown out or not ?

Liam- 07-08-2016 08:31 AM

For his comments/'joke' alone, no I don't think he deserved to be thrown out, but the fact that he's obviously had several talkings to about his comments potentially being offensive, I do think it was somewhat justified, however, do I think he should have been thrown out before some other people who have done worse things than him? absolutely not.

80% Think Biggins should not have been removed

alex_front2 07-08-2016 09:08 AM

The bigger issue is tptb censoring the controversy and only revealing a previous warning had been issued over something else. Had Biggins not made the HIV+AIDS comments then we would be oblivious to the anti semetic joke.

Braden 07-08-2016 09:08 AM

I think a final warning would have sufficed on this occasion, but then BB said that they'd spoke to him about it before?

It's anoying as viewer that we have to make sense of this mess when they don't show us what happens.

billy123 07-08-2016 09:15 AM

Horrible and offensive things to have said i dont think many would argue otherwise but should he have been kicked out? No not for me i mean what is the point of big brother really if it isnt for the viewers to make a judgement on how people behave in the house.
Do we really need C5 acting as moral judge,jury and executioner isnt that the job of the viewers of the show?

They already removed our ability to vote out housemates in CBB already resort to screwing with nomination rules so they can chop and change who and how many are nominated to protect their investments and now in recent years have removed our ability to have our say on controversial subjects via voting.

Why anybody would bother voting on this crap anymore is beyond me when the real decisions have already dealt with. It would have been interesting to watch the backlash Biggins got.
