Pete has tourette syndrome while putting him in the house may have seemed to pander to the voyeur type viewer mentality his presence in the house did in fact highlight awareness of the syndrome, this was noticable by a marked increase in donations to not only specific tourette charities but also to general mental health charities.

As for any housemate being a danger to themselves or others, not singling out Pete or Sam, BB have a duty of care to protect the mental and physical health and welfare of all housemates. If a housemate did blow a gasket and look as if they would either injure themselves or others, they would step in.

Its safer to step in at a convenient early point rather than let things escalate to the point where a housemate is injured or needing psychiatric treatment than risk the potential adverse publicity and inevitable lawsuits.
