He pushed boundaries enough that it would've gone over better in the US, regardless of time period. Freedom of Expression for most takes first place in social spaces here. Ill-judged or not, people give each other a little bit more grace to "be who they are" and so some people are really accustomed to being able to say whatever comes to mind and not immediately be brought up on it... where I think he might've created a problem is in announcing who he would or wouldn't evict... some might take that as a challenge :laugh:

I've just watched it now and it was quite uncomfortable and quite deliberate. I think what made it worse is that he actually felt aggrieved at being called out on it and was patting himself on the back for not kicking off even though he was the only one at fault

Mostly I've liked Mickey from the first two eps and he should be a good housemate but it shouldn't be hard to accept he's in the wrong here

Even he admitted that and apologized.

Not sure how sincere that was. He seemed to apologise more because he thought it showed him as the bigger person rather than actually recognising he'd done anything wrong

He's stuck in his ways, and views now probably, most likely wont change at his age. But lets be fair, he wont even remember this "gig" by Christmas, just an easy payday for him.

True and the experience will probably only make him more likely to value his secluded life over this strange new world :laugh:

He's definitely stuck in his ways, but at least he's making the effort. It's not easy at his age.
My late father was pretty much the same.

This. As all his fans have been saying, “he’s stuck in his ways”

The apology wasn’t genuine at all.

I don't think we'll be taking his age as an excuse for his "ways" when he was slapping/kicking his wife around and holding a gun to her head as a threat... 30 years ago, when he was in his early 40's.

"Allegedly".

I'm curious if he'll even remember her name after all this.

I thought he did it for her more than him since she was clearly still upset about it. I don't think he cared either way. That doesn't make it heartfelt... the way he did it was like when he gifted the blender to a total no name...

On a side note..shoving a gun in a woman's face is one 9f Andrew tates charges.

That is entirely feasible .. he even touched on that very point the other night

You are just like Mickey Glenn, completely stuck in your ways, you have absolutely no time whatsoever for people who challenge you with a differing opinion, even when perfectly reasonable. And when said person does test you, ask you a challenging question, you just reply with - :joker::joker::joker: Or call them a phobe or racist of some kind. Weak.

People are generally so open for discussion, but you hear something you don't like, you immediately resort to insults and mockery, and belittling. And of course, reminding us all of how grand and full of riches your life is. :smug:

Jesus I presumed that JoJo was the one wearing the trousers in that relationship

Obviously not

Perfect assessment of the situation

Yeah .. I am only watching and it’s making me wonder about living alone

[emoji3]

Doesn’t happen a lot. Rare even. Not many intelligent people on here to debate with.

BROWN PEOPLE BAD! GAY PEOPLE BAD! TRANS PEOPLE BAD! MEGHAN MARKLE BAD! PRIDE FLAGS BAD! TRUMP GOOD! TOMMY ROBINSON GOOD! ANDREW TATE GOOD! REFORM GOOD!
This is TiBB

You can’t say the apology wasn’t genuine - we do know that he was reprimanded and warned by BB , then immediately held to task by JoJo as he came out of the diary room … he then went outside alone and came back in later to apologise ..

That suggests that the apology was indeed heartfelt .

Brown people bad - No
Gay people bad - No
Trans people bad - No (trans men in sports, up for debate)
Meghan Markle bad - Yeah, she's insufferable, just like her husband
Pride flags bad - No
Trump good - Not really, but politics is funny
Tommy Robinson good - Nah, does make a good point about the Islamic pedo gangs in the UK, but on the whole, not a fan
Andrew Tate Good - No, Massive prick
Reform - Tricky one

Now, how much am a racist and phobe am i on your non existent chart?

When have I ever called a phobe? For the most part you’re actually an alright poster. We both know that the answers in your post would be polar opposites from certain members.

Go Mickey! Go!

Stop wasting the moderators time by having them adjust your caps.:fist:

Vanessa's stole my title?:bawling::fist:

Tbf it's still too early to say how everyone else is going to be in terms of contribution to the series.

We're only going to watch the fourth highlight show tonight.

I really don't get the appeal for those four.

Especially Trump who seems to be going through Alzheimer's at the moment, hence his illogical Tariff situation.

It’s because the uneducated are easily led. It’s the only way people like that thrive.

That's just crazy to me though tbh.

Says Mr intelligent who shoved all his eggs in with starmer

Says Mr Intelligent who wanted…Reform

Take a seat :joker:

Misunderstaning now cleared up
 

This should now put this whole mountain out of a molehill to bed

"Mickey's longtime friend Kimberly Hines argued that 'old school' Mickey isn't
purposely trying to hurt or 'offend' anyone, but is merely not up to scratch with the 'politically correct vocabulary' used in 2025. "

Keep thinking that. You are wrong, but keep thinking it.

Mickey gets first CBB warning for homophobic Remarks
 

That makes perfect sense and is apparent when you take the time to listen to him

Just going back to the ‘incident’ ..

JoJo said to the actress that they had a good talk afterwards and that she felt that when someone says or does something like Mickey ( supposedly) did … then it comes because that person is really a hurt person inside …


Then she hit him with the killer nomination !

Last night she was having a great , friendly chat with him so he will think that its all a thing in the past .. all forgotten and forgiven.

She then went straight to Michael ( she nominated him for being ‘old and cringe’ ) and laughed and joked and gave him a huge playful hug …

I wouldn’t trust her at all …

yes, she is crafty

Not wanting a woman to be tied up and "turned straight" is now politically correct?

What is happening here lol.

Mickey was obviously joking. Unfortunately his jokes are old 80s ones and he didn't understand that they're not acceptable anymore.
Glad Jojo explained it to him and now it looks like they're getting on great.
Still not happy about her stabbing him in the back, but at least it was a valid reason.

Exactly

How can anyone think he was being serious..

He's actually a kind man. Not someone who would want to offend on purpose.

Look, I don't believe that Mickey is someone that's really going to tie Jojo up and have his way with her.

But I don't believe that he was just telling an innocent joke either.

I think that he is a wind up merchant (which I personally don't mind on BB,) and he was looking to get a reaction out of Jojo.

That's my interpretation of his comments.

The man has been single for the last 10 years.
I think he was bantering and of course it went a bit wrong :laugh:
