No more. It was not threatening, it was not personal, it was hot air in retaliation to being ganged on and being called a dick. He was bit exactly going to stick his dick up Calum now was he, if he threatened him with violence then that would be another story.

It did not deserve a warning, not imo anyway, if you begin warning HMs for trash-talk then the entire show will instantaneously become less interesting/enjoyable. I have far more of an issue when it becomes personal, like how Hopkins targeted Alicia for being 'thick', without any provocation whatsoever. Or how again Hopkins has alienated the entire house against Perez and then isolates him and harnesses him hour upon hour with unpleasant insults.

Some consistency is needed, if you are going to lambaste one HM for doing something then you need to do the same when another HM does likewise. Otherwise it just comes across as childish.

Good post.
