Having said that, the problem I have with the boys is that they dont seem to care that they have all that weight, and rather than seeing the BB basic shopping list as a chance for them to lose some, they have moaned all the way through about not having enough to eat
They have both lost weight on the show, you can see that when they show their original pics but I think that once they get out, it will be back to stuffing their faces sitting at home and will be a major drain on the NHS for the rest of their (short) lives if they dont wake up and smell the diet supplements

Not saying its easy, Im on a diet myself right now and its difficult but if you want to be healthy, then you need to watch your weight, whether you are too fat OR too skinny

Not healthy to be too much of either

never judge a book by its cover = "you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone" just saying

Jackie is a middle-aged dance teacher.... hardly old. Yes her face is a bit haggard but that's how Charlie will look in a few years time! ;)

It's not even people calling them fat that I find immature because they are fat, it's the childish insults some throw out like humpty dumpty and the obese twins etc why not just use the names? everyone knows they are overweight?

Also people using really OTT insults or referring to housemates as It, Thing etc really grates on me because it just seems to be a level of hatred too far for someone on a reality tv show IMO.

CaudleHalbard 19-07-2013 12:39 PM

Well it's only an internet forum. We wouldn't say things like that to their faces! ;)

Fosse 19-07-2013 12:40 PM

I suppose that Sophie isn't really 'thick', also. ;)

No she is thick, but not by the standards of Daily Star readers! ;)

Verbal 19-07-2013 12:41 PM

I agree totally

Meanwhile, in other news, did that person who was poking fun at deaf people last night get banned?

This, quite embarrassing most of the time

Fish_Fingers 19-07-2013 12:49 PM

If being called fat is the worst thing that happens to an overweight person, then they're doing pretty well in life. Some people have real problems, this kind of issue really needs some perspective.

Kizzy 19-07-2013 01:04 PM

People who label members *******s for calling people fat :joker:

It is the best one :nono:

Anyway on topic I do find the fat insults a bit OTT, the odd joke is fine but the incessant name calling in every post is a little tiresome. I mean I'm not their biggest fan but it's just a bit pathetic really

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:11 PM

People do make jugdement calls by looks especially when that persons behaviour treads over their boundary or annoys them. Firetwilight just said we all moan and groan when the model types with the high boobs come in. That there is a judgement.

Its instinctual. Im slim and one side of my family are overweight yet Ive never crossed the boundary of calling them fat, yet theyve called me skinny bitch. I have faced more jibes from overweight people. They appear to make more of an issue out of it.

Its instinctual to look at a fat person and think their greedy. Their gonna eat all the food and leave us little. Just as we look at model types with big boobs and think theirs not much going in upstairs because theres jobs are usually based on what they look like which in public opinion is superficial.

I've got nothing against an overweight person until I sit next to one on the bus or areoplane because then they cross my boundary they steal half of the seat Ive paid for. That said I dont think that all people would choose to be fat, some have chemical imbalances in their brain which fail to tell them when their stomachs full, or have emotional problems. But in the immediate term that doesnt stop their ass taking up your seat.

A woman use to go for a muscle bound larger built guy because instinctively she feels he will protect her and her kin. Now society is leaning towards brains being more important because they will hold down a better paying job, whuch is more important now that men are not clubbing eachother over the head (well except for Friday and Saturday nights).

But as Ive said the fat issue specifically comes from the brain registering that, that person must be greedy or lazy, its a survival instinct. Other name calling has come about from advertising culture of how people should fit a certain type.

Am I guilty of it, yes if someone cuts me up in my car I'll call them an idiot why because their behaviour is idiotic.

The twins admit there lazy, and use their weight as entertainment (belly dancing). As for Hazel being manipulative , yes she is, most HM's are or theres no point being on the show. If people are going to get offended by the comments people make on here about housemates theres nothing we can do about it. But there not personal to you they are about housemates. Is that not what the forum is for?

armand.kay 19-07-2013 01:15 PM

I think if you come for gina's weave you should go to hell tbh.

JTM45 19-07-2013 01:16 PM

They don't really help themselves do they!

Anyone who revels in coming out in a sweat from eating too much meat clearly has an eating problem!

Fatty, Mc.Fat Fats, the pair of them!:laugh:

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:17 PM

Lol! eww yeah meat sweats

armand.kay 19-07-2013 01:18 PM

and can we stop calling housemates 'vile'

Yes, when every person on this forum stops with their double standards it will truly be a great day...

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:20 PM

I like Ginas weave it reminds me of my sisters pomeranian.

Ah yes, I knew it reminded me of an animal of some sort! :D

Presumably Gina thinks it enhances her appearance.

Kizzy 19-07-2013 01:28 PM

What the hell are meat sweats? :conf:

armand.kay 19-07-2013 01:29 PM

Gina's weave is like beyonce's tbh.

Withano 19-07-2013 01:30 PM

Perfect thread. It bothers me too.

arista 19-07-2013 01:32 PM

The twins work as Checkout
at a supermarket.


Not good they are sitting down all the time

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:32 PM

Didnt Sophie say Wolfy never washed her nether regions, maybe thats because she likes the smell of fish.

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:36 PM

Meat sweats and fish, lucky that bedroom has air conditioning

kate2013 19-07-2013 01:37 PM

If you went into the BB house whos bed would you choose to sleep in?

Sophiee 19-07-2013 02:55 PM

I don't think it'd be such an issue if they didn't moan about food as much.

kate2013 19-07-2013 03:02 PM

The only time Ive seen them run is when its delivered.

I was going to make a comment on this but you have said much as to what I would have and far more briefly too than I would.
Totally agree.

The twins sex life I think....seems to what turns them on.

KingOfTheMods 19-07-2013 03:09 PM

I can't help it. I dislike them because of their personalities for the most part, but their fatness just adds to how much they annoy me. I wish I had a rational explanation for it.

Self-indulgent? Lacking in self-control?

I guess, rightly or wrongly, their size might broadcast a signal in some people's eyes.....

Apple202 19-07-2013 03:33 PM

because if you're fat then it most likely means you don't care about your appearance or your health so it just makes them even worse than they already are lol

You do realise that Twat is a very offensive word and means a different thing in the North of England than it does in the South, so yes Twat could be considered very offensive by some.

At the end of the day if you are going down the route of what is offensive, then calling HMs "It" and "Munter" and various other unsavory names is just as offenisve as weight jibes.
