I put it this way, is it not right that we see what is wrong in the world we live so we can question it rather than having it sanitized out of the show?
Surely by showing the nastiness and the problems caused by certain behavior the programmer markers are doing us a favor. The press on the other hand by just complaining about the show rather than the bad behavior of any housemate are just sweeping the problems in society under the carpet.
Ofcom has become the official censor of TV in this country and now a handful of people have the power to get people sacked and programmes taken off the air. Is not it time the people of the UK started complaining about Ofcom?

People didnt always complain, but they found their voice when BB showed a lack of judgement and insulted its viewers by manufacturing getting Nikki back into BB7. There was a sudden realisation that people could complain and I said at the time it was the "jumping the shark" moment. Once it dawned on people they could complain, they now complain every time whether they have seen it or not.
My point tonight is by ignoring what happened and what was seen by people and has been reported, they are being caught covering up again. They delibertely cut l/f this time to avoid it, but they arent bright enough to see when they need to not show anything. If they show a bit and people see it, then claim nothing is happening, they deserve what is coming to them, in relation to Ofcom
