People keep bringing up Ali's condition , and ok I get it ...but at the same time she agreed to be on the show. And she's not a child, and she's in the same boat as everyone else...her mind just functions a little differently,and same with her behaviour & social cues.

She isn't the only housemate who's had a condition similar to that ,and she is not ill . So I think it's kind of ' kid glove ' mentality to keep treating her like she's some fragile piece of glass ,but I will say there has been a sense of tip toe feeling. But at the moment she seems to be getting involved more ,and not analysing as much ...which is definitely a better way to go about things.

Through BB history , there's been every type of inclusive housemate...who has had to deal or struggle with their own issues & problems.

Controversially ,some previous housemates should never have been put in BB . So I wouldn't say Ali's condition is anywhere near that severe. She's obviously still managing to cope .

There's been questionable decisions in who has been let in the BB house in the past , and whether or not they passed a psych test or not . The vulnerability of individuals have actually been exploited .

But hopefully today is a little better,when people's mental health is concerned. I would like to think and hope BB has a care team at hand to help housemates,if they are finding it too stressful or difficult to process , I assume there's something in place to support them.
