But I am shocked Jenkin hasn't lost about 3 stone being in there.

He seems to be the same weight.

In fairness, for a man of his size, is 3-4 weeks going to result in that much of a noticeable reduction? Purely on sight, I mean. Also, from what I've seen, the house hasn't really been ordering that much healthy food lol.

Well he's the one that ordered 20 chicken nuggets or something

Exactly right. :laugh:

iirc correctly Joe and jack the twins from BB14 lost loads of weight in the house

Has anyone thought that perhaps, Jenkin might have a metabolic disorder?

I have, so I know how it can mess with your weight, and the last thing I would welcome is snide remarks.

Also, why aren’t the same ilk of comments being bandied about regarding Trish’s size?
She’s hardly slim - is she?

That’s true up to a point but Jenkin is dangerously overweight - there’s a difference


He maybe above the morbidly obese level

Funny how suddenly calling Trish "fat" is ok , but pointing out Jenkin's weight is 'fat shaming' ... hmm interesting :whistle: . I guess if a doctor told Jenkin to lose weight as he's obese and needs to improve his health , would that doctor be accused of fat shaming also lol .

Admit it, Gold. She's got the fattest ass.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I'd probably be a little attracted to Trish if I didn't find her so passive-aggressive. And bald.

I'd call Henry fat, too, btw, seeing as you bring him up. I would never call him or Trish curvy lol.

Still doesn't make her fat fat . As for Henry he's got a bit of weight but not fat fat.

Trish isn't passive aggressive, she's sick and tired of being misunderstood and constantly getting labelled "aggressive" . Just like i'm sure Noky is tired of being called "fake" all the time .

Trish is just wary of the garden gremlins.... and she has every right to be , even Yinrun doesn't trust Jenkin with his " ohh i love you" nonsense .

Classic. What a song.



Alf 06-11-2023 10:41 PM

Why do you see someone being called fat as a negative? Do you see fat people as someone to be ashamed of?

You ladies should take it as a compliment if I said you're as beautiful as Lizzo. Because Lizzo is after all, apparently beautiful. So you couldn't be insulted. You could only take it as a compliment.

Ray. 06-11-2023 10:44 PM

I'm not saying women the size of Lizzo are attractive btw. :joker: I know beauty's in the eye of the beholder, but people who make such a song and dance about her being beautiful are lying to themselves.

I don't think he deserves being called malicious names, but pointing out his eating habits while behaving in a greedy manner inside a communal environment is valid. It's directly influencing his behavior in the house. I rather like Jenkin outside this aspect, but don't favor him much as an HM due to his behavior.

Alf 06-11-2023 11:14 PM

When fast food and takeaway food and supermarkets dominate the high street. Along with jobs that don't require much exercise like an office job, a tattooist, a tanning shop worker or nail bar worker (also dominating the high street). Then you're gonna get a lot of fatties.

As Frank would say


Alf 06-11-2023 11:21 PM

It's about time that we had some more diversity in these kind of jobs. We need more women and gays doing this kind of work. Stop leaving these jobs to the toxic masculinity to do. It's not fair. It's time to chip in.

Curvy is Maya Jama .


Trish is overweight and Henry is also overweight - they maybe regarded as obese
We all saw them yesterday in those very unforgiving task suits


Jenkin is morbidly obese

Jordan is slender as is Matty

Tom average

Noky , Chanelle, Olivia and Yinrun are all great

It just shows how little you Brits know about your history. Ian Gleed and Saki were gay men who served your nation.

Mystic Mock 07-11-2023 06:01 AM

It's an easy insult to fling at him if you don't like him, because for some reason it is okay in society to still hate fat people it seems.

Now don't get me wrong I don't think it should be encouraged either like some of the Media outlets are doing, but imo I agree with you Benjamin that he shouldn't be disliked purely because of his weight.

I mean people are free to hold whatever opinions they want, but to rephrase it, I think it's poor form to dislike anyone purely because of their weight.

Cherie 07-11-2023 07:42 AM

I feel like BB were trolling us last night, showing Jenkin in a different jumper, saying he needed a shower when Chanelle put her head on him and telling Yinrun he needed to change his boxers, one in the eye for all the horrible people calling him smelly and unhygienic which is a trope often thrown at overweight people
