It's horrible on him.
No, I don't hate him, I actually liked him, but he's going to be isolated from the rest of the groups. They're all form their cliques, and he'll be on his own, everyone will pity him.
I really feel sorry for him being in there. I wish they hadn't put him in.

[AlexBigBrother]

nah, hes a comedian and radio producer, he will get on with people!
i also proper liked the way Mario was guidin him to the new housemates

[BBFANFOREVER]

i totally agree

[~Beachbum~]

Im not sure, i reckon dennis is gonna look after him, maybe he'll actually become quite popular amongst everyone?..who knows.

[Benji]

i totally agree that i shouldnt have been put in, simply becuase he will get the sympathy vote,

Im sure that he is able enough to be int here by himself, i just dont believe that he should have not been put in, he will get pitied and i really empathise with him

[VicKyyKciV]

i doubt that he will be isolated unless he turns out to be some sort of prat and i fink that he is one, pity he came into the house in the first place but thats not his fault thats the fault of those who choose the housemates to go in there.

Oh stop with your sympathy, he's not a child. He's a perfectly functioning intelligent adult, he doesn't want you 'feeling sorry' for him. He shouldn't NOT be put in the house just cos he is blind.

You have a very narrow mind, and assume because he is blind he can't function socially.

But there is such a thing as the Disability Discrimination Act (1995)

Oh calm down. It's just my opinion.

I do agree with you totally,

but i think everyone thinks that he will be at a disadvantage, which is true, he may well be at a disadvantage as he dosent have his sight, but i dont see why he shouldnt be in there, but i dont think he should be.

How can you possibly say "calm down" when I state my opinion, then suffix it with "its just my opinion" Learn to take criticism buddy.

[bigbro101]

if hes up for eviction im evicton him

[Ross]

It's not fair on him. That's all.

We should evict him, for his sake.

It's not fair on him to not give him a chance before he even tries. I'm pretty sure he knows himself better than you do, and he obviously see's himself as "capable" (and why should he be? he's just blind). He put himself in the situation, and he can handle it.

Blind people aren't children that need looking after, people don't seem to be able to see that.

He's a big boy, he can look after himself.

[rhombus92]

i think they will be considerate towards him but not treat him differently, we will just have to see

I'm not saying he's not capable. Quit jumping down people's throats, we're not pity'ing him.

You've watched BB before, they do alot of hard tasks that somehow I don't think he would be capable of. But we'll see. I actually like him.

Take that back, please. I was simply stating my opinion, and because it differs from the majority it's considered 'jumping down peoples throats' ?

I'm not taking it back.. Nobody has said they feel sorry for him, it's all you telling us to stop with the sympathy when nobody has said "Oh he's blind, get him out. Blind people shouldn't be in Big Brother." the reality of it is, he is not going to cope with most of the things in the house, unless BB has ways that he can, but nobody can tell from launch night.

[Sticks]

You may choose to evict or not evict him, that is your prerogative, My point is that C4 / Endemol could not exclude him because he is blind, as that would go against the DDA

I didn't see that so I apologise.

Talk to him about it then, as you have said so many times here "I'm just stating my opinion." I'm only stating the facts.

Well don't challenge opinions then? Afterall they are opinions.. so if you're challenging it you're basically saying that yours is the right opinion.

[Scarlett.]

I think its brave of BB

He seems sound

LOL! Well it wouldn't be my opinion if I didn't think it was right, would it?

Thats what a forum is about, discussing differing opinions. I'm not trying to change the OPs opinion, I am stating mine. It's a debate!
