Is anyone starving in there? If they were on basic rations I could understand it, they had a massive shopping budget as well as all the extras they get

We obviously can't know that for a fact, but I think people who have often been made conscious of their weight or size might well have a difficult relationship with food.

Maybe, in his drunken state, this might have triggered guilt and shame about eating, especially if the nominations had made him feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about his size. To me, it was almost like he was angry with himself and was beating himself up by doing that.

It's obvious that Heavy is addicted to food, whereas Cristian was all about protein and keeping his body shape so there is a difference in my view

Well, he is greedy. Watching him stuffing his face at the party the other day when he was supposed to be on slops for the good of the group was instructive, in this respect. He is a glutton, and therefore, not uncoincidentally, he is massively overweight, to the point where, at forty three, he's probably never going to see his penis again, unless he spends a bit of time angling the mirrors correctly.

Yes, it would if this was the automatic consequence for wasting food. I like the idea of being put on basic rations with all other food confiscated for a few days.

The trouble with that is that when CBB housemates are deprived of food and booze, they just retire to bed. They've already been paid, so why should they do anything?

I really dont think he was nominated for taking spare food. He probably just got a bit of a rep for taking the last egg or taking a double portion after the meal is served.. Nobody is starving but I bet people had to have a smaller dinner because he wanted a larger one a few times or somethig.

He was coerced into eating by Lewis and Bear, the equivalent of encouraging an alcoholic a drink. I don't think about his penis but knock yourself out if you want to

Yes, I hadn't thought of that but you are spot-on here, Cherie.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

He's a greedy attention-seeking barsteward

I agree with you but also Bear and Heavy are wasting food.

I'd like to see that too, I think BB are very lax in punishments for bad behaviour.

Like everyone else in the world, I have no interest in Colin's penis, beyond the occasional bout of morbid speculation. And as far as him being 'coerced' into eating the cake, it wasn't as if Lewis and Bear were holding a gun to his head, not even metaphorically. What annoys the most about Colin is that he won't acknowledge how weak-willed, and how desperate for any kind of attention, however toxic, he really is. If he threw himself on the voting public's mercy, and admitted that grown-up life is just something he doesn't understand, that he's going to need help with coping once he leaves the show, I could see him making the final. But he's going to have to drastically alter his strategy. As he took great delight in telling Bear, ten minutes after Chloe left.

I don't think its necessarily fatshaming to say someone eats a lot. I know so many really skinny people who eat like horses.

Yeah this, it was nothing bad. I'm surprised with having the nickname of 'Heavy D' that he hasn't received more comments like this, even on forums and stuff.

me!

I hate people who eat grass

but yeah since people are saying he's eating a lot of the food then it's a fair nomination. Food needs to last and if someone is eating most of it then it's being selfish and inconsiderate.

I think there are different connotations when the person is actually fat though, it's not like there aren't a myriad other reasons to nominate him, I didn't think it warranted bringing greed into the equation.

Definitely are! If they chose the right punishments it could be very amusing- they have potential to create a lot of humour if they put some thought into it!

Why not? Greed is considered one of the seven cardinal sins. According to Wikipedia, the other six are hubris, lust, malicious envy, gluttony, inordinate anger and sloth. If you don't think he's guilty of all of the above, I guess we've been watching a different Heavy D. He does seem to tick all the boxes.

Can you imagine if it was Renee they said it about ? Jesus !! and she's not Dainty Dora !!

They're 'celebs', virtually every week they'll get a luxury shopping budget.

If he has an eating disorder and in addition if he's a bit backward and a vulnerable adult then BB should either not have placed him in the house or should have made the others aware of his special needs...otherwise it's cruel....on the other hand if he isn't any of those things then hes just a wind up merchant the same as Bear....only not as good or as funny.
Just like Lewis isn't responsible for what Bear does I also don't think Bear is responsible for what Heavy does....when some accuse Bear and Lewis of coercion it once again creates a false image of both of them....if anyone is coercing people I would say it's Renee
