WHY would they do that though? He was their cash cow. He was the way they were going to milk the series for a last bit of cash. There is no reason at all for them to just randomly eject him and pretend he said something bad. Even if he wasn't a huge fave, I think they would not want to eject someone so late in the series..literally hours before they switch to vote to win.

Though obviously I agree that whatever it was, they should show it. And the context. And the fallout.

They kicked him out yesterday, but they said it was for something he said the previous night.

Ah that makes a bit more sense. So it was yet another drink fuelled rant then, in that case. Just going further than usual.

the timing was rather excellent, being on Cameron's birthday :hee:

I don't think that the more reasoned posters will have blind devotion, perhaps a few but that can be pretty much on both sides.

I think it is the severity of what he said which is at the crux of the problem. How severe would it be if the production wanted him to stay?

All these unanswered questions, There seems to be politics being played here by Channel 5, we just don't know.

I know I have had enough and after tomorrow will be :wavey: goodbye.

A bit rich coming from someone who attacks people for their looks and the state and colour of their teeth....its allowed because its your freedom of speech even though its unacceptable.

Whatever Lewis said was obviously deemed unacceptable..he has gone. He paid the price. He is a great loss to the show and he was the favorite to win..so he was well liked. His haters have run him down and called him all the names under the sun and wallowed on this forum in delight that he has gone. So his supporters can support him as much as they like because we don't yet know what he has said. If it was something unacceptable..he was wrong..but it wont stop us supporting him as the best housemate and his loss will have a huge effect on this show and this forum. As much as many of you disliked him he gave you much to talk about. Many other housemates actions went by the by because you watched his every move to find something to pull him up on...just like we his fans looked to defend him. This forum might be noticeably quiet on Monday..and I can bet your bottom dollar Lewis will be talked about until he final. That's his impact..

:clap1::clap1: Wow!!

They can warn or eject housemates if they think the housemate has said or done something that will offend the viewers. From what they have said in the past, that's basically a rule now.

Trouble is that it is very open to interpretation as a lot things that happen in the show offend at least some people.

I think its a bit premature to start defending him when you don't know what happened to get him ejected. Condoning any bad behaviour just because you favour someone. :nono:

Demeaning? Merely describing his mental health.
I called him psycho and stand by it. Psycho=psychotic. A person who sees things that are not there. Like Lewis claiming everybody was after him.
Lewis being paranoid, accusing BB of planting things in people's head about Cameron and Akeem friendship.
That guy has issues and I, for one, wish he confronts them and solves them. Unlike his "fans" who sweep things under the carpet bc they want to worship him no matter what. That's not healthy and it is demeaning.

Did you read my post I said she did worse I WOULD THINK !!! as what she did was awful, and he will do ok,I can see him picked up for modelling etc also newspaper interviews, all pay quite well,but even if not,as long as he's happy in his work who cares.

I agree Kaz and I said it before win or no win he will probably be the only one to go on and make money from the show..

Yeah... I'm not going to say the ejection was right or wrong without knowing what happened. It would have to be severe (I would think) to not be a warning.

:clap1::clap1:Well said rusti ,funny where all this concern about peoples feelings have suddenly come from, usually some are delighted to have a go at someone who they don't like.

:joker:

Again no one will make any money post show no one has in years, everyone will go back to their day jobs and if we see why he was ejected he will definitely not get any work.

Well right now you can say the ejection is wrong, because none of us have seen him do anything worthy of ejection.

He isn't psychotic...its paranoia...and he was right he was a target for LG and Hussein.
He knows he has these issues..he owned up to them. As for his fans..we don't 'worship' anyone...that's demeaning. We like him as a housemate..we respect his honesty and we wish him the best. We dont than mock him for his issues like you do..now that is unhealthy.

What ever he said could have and has indeed been censored out. No broadcasting rules have been broken. NO EVICTION WAS JUSTIFIED..

I am not a particular fan of Lewis but it's clear kangaroo court bias has won the day. Fans are right to be suspicious

Hes probably selling his story as we speak...especially with a week to go and he was favorite to win.

he won't get much for it:shrug: Civilian BB doesn't have hardly any publicity at all because no one cares about it hence the awful ratings so you will hardly hear about any of them. The only RTV shows that earn money away from the show are Love Island,towie,x factor etc if Lewis is lucky he will go back to his day job but this ejection could give him the sack so he will be earning nothing.

No one has swept them under a carpet but realise that someone's mental health is not something to speculate on, make unqualified diagnosis and treatment advice and make fun of, demean and call nasty names about the very same person they are stating has these mental issues.

Then all of a sudden it is under the umbrella of well meaning suggestions? I think not.

makes no odds it was a slip of the tongue nowt else

You are right the evil of backdoor censorship (political correctness) has grown stronger and more extreme over many years. Over censorship makes real realty tv impossible to make.

In its present mutilated over censored form by channel 5 then yes it may just as well discontinue sadly.

If say netflix take it on and cave in to political correctnes censorship the format will still be in a state of ruin by babies that take offence at anything and evertything

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it
That's what gets results:laugh:

Sorry, I'll get me coat:hehe:

. a very good assessment. and knowing lewis's quirky sense of humour I bet it was said not only in jest but with a degree of affection. lewis has been robbed, we have been robbed, big time. the storylines that we will all remember were always involving lewis, mostly created by him, the storylines that made this years BB & made you wonder why ch5 was axing it. he was absolutely spectacular in that last prison task. its shameful what BB/ch5 have done to lewis & yet in the past have allowed much worse from other HMs
