Should the producers have aired the 'Choking Scene'?
 

Basically all in the title, should the choking scene between Marco and Laura have been aired?

I can only imagine the complaints Ofcom received about that last night...

Yes they've literally aired someone masturbating with a wine bottle I don't know why people are so shocked..

No. I found it weird and all for show. I wasn't "offended" but I find anything involving Marco disgusting so I don't think they should air Marco full stop.

Get the rat out. He is so immature and thinks he is a big man and tough. He couldn't even handle the house and broke out and then came back and cried.

That kind of scene is illegal in UK porn...yet here we are shown it on BB.

No, if it was real, but this wasn't it was all for show and came across as just weird and idiotic, which is what they both are.

Yes because it means they aren't hiding the fact both of them are ****ing awful

..

yes as it sealed both their fate

Choking using a belt is fraught with danger. belts can jam and I am sure, somewhere in the UK now, some idiotic booze fuelled teenager is experimenting and its an accident waiting to happen. BB was grossly irresponsible for airing it.

i had no idea people would respond to the choking. the start of every episode reminds you that sexual stuff is gunna happen. i don't think choking is crossing the line, personally.

Laura was very aware that it was going to be on camera (checking appearance, mentioning the camera) so the scene is not genuine its playing at odd sex fetish for dramatic effect and air time.

That's probably why they did it-for all the publicity it'll generate, all the drama and shock at what's happening in the house.

...not a big deal...however i'm really bored with marco.....

Mark L

Absolutely they should.....I think there is very little that shud be censored....BB use their disclaimer before show airs....there are 300 other channels....no one forced to watch....

Surprises me how Doris Day a lot of BB viewers are about some things .....it is Big Brother after all, it's not Homes Under the Hammer....

For the sake of the viewers stomachs, any scene involving that despicable pair should end up on the cutting room floor.

Yes because BB should show everything that's what the show is for, they've aired worse in past

I was more mentally scarred by everything else they showed

I don't like Marco and Laura but yes they should have aired it. If I knew about something more interesting they could have aired in it's place then I'd be all for that but I don't see the problem in airing the actual belt scene.

She had a great opportunity to choke the vile little ratbag and she blew lit

haha, my friend texted me while it was on saying she wished it was her choking him :laugh:

I don't recall us actually seeing it.

All we had was a shot of Anthony reacting?

Emphasis on "scene". It's all faker than Laura's tits.

She literally had her hands on the money

I don't know...
I'd rather not have seen it
i can imagine it only takes on kid/idiot to be watching it on the night and mimic it and then blame BB for it be all over the news and it be cancelled and ****

I don't think they should have censored it because it wasn't real choking, they were just mimicking it, and I'm generally not for things being censored. But I sort of think they should have given them a warning and shown us that also to balance out the 'entertainment' aspect of it with the real life dangers that could happen if people were to copy it. It's not necessarily BB's responsibility to do that, but since they give warnings not just for what housemates do, but how their actions can be perceived by the viewing public, it would have made sense for them to do that. I know they gave the 'risky sexual activity' warning but when the 'risk' of choking is death, they could have gone a little further to make it clear to more impressionable people how dangerous it can be.
