It is hysteria on high and makes me a tad embarrassed to be on here to be true.

The fact that his angry rant was televised instead of overheard doesn't make it more acceptable, it only restricts the avenues by which it can be handled. The real problem here is that BB did nothing about it to begin with - and a wink and a nudge lecture is not dealing with it. If they had, others wouldn't feel this need to try to intervene, however futile their attempts might be.

I havent seen a single person say what he did was ok but some of the mindless and childish reactions are just pathetic people were looking for something to jump on before this happened well now they have it just as long as they dont come crying when they have burst their ball and dont have one to play with anymore.

I advised the people shouting "Poor Deana"last night to go to a dogs home and adopt a puppy, the biggest over-reaction since Jade Goody got slaughtered for saying "poppadom"

I actually quite pleased that such a fuss is being made. It reminds me that there are decent people out there.

Thank god, I agree with Patrick 100%. People have blown this way out of proportion. Conor is definitely a twat for what he said but it did sound like pure banter. Sure he said he was angry, cause he was and he hates Deana, but he was also just talking **** behind her back with them. People are acting like he'd go beat and rape her outside the house.

I record Big Brother - so I watch it a few hours after everyone else, so when I was on here last night from what I heard Conor made horrible remarks about Deana.
The way you lot made it out, was that he was a vicious bully who shouted these things at her etc etc So I agreed and went with it.

This morning? Well I watched the show - and I have to say, the majority of you are no ******ing better than the silly idiots who complain to the BBC over someone's line on EastEnders.
It's silly little people like you that bring the show down, and ruined it on Channel 4 - DO NOT do the same to Channel 5 I swear to God.

Josy made a comment on here, something similar to this - and I complete disagreed with her last night. But now? After seeing the episode? I agree completely.

Conor said it, in the most jokingly way possible - he could not of made it more comical if he tried. Everyone at the table KNEW he was kidding too, the voice he said it in was pure banter.

And it wasn't even said to Deana's face - even when he said he would 'Punch her' he maintained a humorous voice.
The language of course could be deemed threatening or abusive, in another context I agree - but then Big Brother called him to the Diary Room and reminded him of the rules.

Why the ****** are you lot acting, like the guy wasn't even called into the Diary Room?!

I wouldn't like to think for a second, the only reason this fuss has been kicked up is because the majority of people on this forum, haven't liked Conor from Day 1.
Yeah, you're all being ridiculously over the top - I don't condone violence towards women, clearly Conor doesn't either and that's why when he left the Diary Room he genuinely did seem sorry for what he had said previously.

And if you complained to Channel 5, you're a complete moron. I'm sorry, I don't care who you are - you're a moron.

The way it was actually said, the fact it wasn't to her face, the fact Big Brother DID step in, and of course the fact Conor had realized what he had done - shows that the situation isn't as bad as it's being made out.

We have had FAR bigger situations on Big Brother over the years, that have gone un-noticed.

I am guessing they are Deana fans trying to save her this week with the sympathy/pathetic vote
