I've never understood this about Big Brother. This rule has been made clear since the Emily controversy in Big Brother 8, and it has been tossed around a few times since, but it doesn't really make sense.

If they said something that could offend the public, but not their fellow housemates, then what's the point in it being aired in the first place? Especially in Emily's situation in which it was used in light conversation rather than an argument, if it doesn't air, the public won't be offended and nobody would have to worry about anything. That's like throwing food over someone then having a go at them for having food over them.

I just don't understand it.
