That was pretty revolting and, like the current batch of "performers", she was clearly doing it for camera time.

Like many other posters here, I get annoyed (and bored) with the time devoted to showing us every angle of this very unattractive snogging, magnifying every squelching slurp.

If they will insist on showing this, they might at least dip the sound a bit - it's almost as bad as showing us the bits when the HMs are eating loudly, speaking with their mouths full and scraping their cutlery against the sides of their bowls! :rant:

Yes. Agreed.

Same as with the 'massage scene' with Bear/Chloe. That went on for what felt like half the show. The camera was lingering on them for ages, making the viewer feel like some dirty old peeping tom, watching his neighbours through the curtains of his grotty flat

I'd rather watch some normal conversations about something interesting, like you see on live feed. Why not edit more of THAT side of BB?

Intelligence and humanity are better highlights than yet more soft porn close ups between boring reality stars.

Sign me up for team grumpy. Sick to death of showmances. Don't know why BB keeps on plugging them.

Exactly Livia!

:o Maybe c5 will do a special "lifting lewis's ballsack" doc where he gets surgery and we get the before and after. They do look rather sad and deflated.

That's just it, I'm not prudish. I don't mind a bit of nudity, but the constant close-ups of snogging and foreplay is not what I want to see, especially when it's manufactured just for air time.

Again agree, not a prude, but dont like having it shoved in my face. Thought I made that clear in the OP.

Aaggghh! Said it before; hate it when they don't close their mouths when they chew!! Bear, Heavy and Chloe never do/did. It grosses me out :fist::fist::fist:

Yeah, and what's with the non kissing/kissing. It's like they're just shaking their tongues at each other. Especially Bear and Chloe.
