Who set this situation up in the first place ?

(They are even going to talk about it on BBC Radio 4)

They have been billing this as Big Brother Gets Evil just to get ratings.

Looks like the tagline will be

Big Brother gets cancelled.

Endemol / Channel 4 have played fast and loose with health and safety. It is not just contestants who have lost the plot, it is Endemol / Channel 4 and now the police are involved. If housemates are brought before the court on assault charges, will any C4 / Endemol executive be in the dock?

I think not
If Victor, or any hosuemate, has a convinction for violent conduct and the producers were aware of it then yes, this could be very serious indeed. However, I simply do not believe that Endemol/C4 would take such risks for ratings and people shouldn't jump to conclusions because of the 'evil' tag. And no, I don't believe the police will bring any charges.

I think Victor's bullying and violent conduct has completely taken them by surprise. Perhaps BB expected a little bit of confrontation, but not on the scale it reached last night.

At the start of this series, I quite liked Victor even admiring him knowing the game he was playing. But now I find his behaviour completely unpredictable, and see him as a violent thug with a sinister side. So if anyone should be evicted in all this, it's him.

I don't believe Emma should be singled out in all this and castigated while Victor is seen as the victim. If it was acceptable behaviour housemates responded shouting with violence, series 2 & 3 would have both ended bloodbaths.
