Default I've had to stop watching...

I simply can't bring myself to watch this series anymore.

It makes me feel beyond uncomfortable watching the constant bullying that goes on inside that house. Most of the people on this year's Big Brother - even though I don't know them personally - are bordering on evil. Their behaviour towards their peers is absolutely astonishing, they're extremely self-centered and greedy, and seem to be under the belief that they're the best thing since sliced bread. Apparently, some of these housemates are now being racist? I haven't been watching the past couple of days, so I don't know the entire story regarding this.

I know what I've mentioned above (beside the racism) tends to occur on every series of Big Brother, but this year, its extent is so overbearing that I've had to switch off. The only thing more frustrating is that there's very little that can be done about it. Any complaints made this series regarding bullying - in particular, Conor's - seem to have fallen on deaf ears. It angers me that it's more than likely going to be one of these people walking away with the prize money.

Or am I taking this all a bit too seriously? haha

Whats annoying me most is that Im watching clips they post online, then in comparison to the HLs they air ****.

Im sort of used to the behaviour in the house now, and its sort of calming to know an Outsider will go on to win definitely, or Sara.

The editing team is doing a horrific job this year. They don't know how to balance things. We've seen so many great, funny clips online yet they never get shown in the highlights show.

Compared to other seasons, there's no way you can call this over the top. Seasons 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 all had way more divisions and way more bullying. Rachel Rice was bullied, Freddie was bullied. No one in this house has really been bullied, because bullied means intimidated, and no one has been truly intimidated this year.

And i call BS that you arn't gonna keep watching. The fact that you seem to feel so passionate about this tells me there's no way yur turning off now. so i call BS.

So over seeing posts like this. This is what is ruining BB. It's a gameshow!!. BB is being ruined by the pc brigade complaining about every little thing. I am sick of seeing the bully word being banded about every day. The events tonight were quite frankly astounding and by no means racist. If BB start giving out warnings for that then they are setting themselves up for the shows downfall.

It's socialisation and normailisation skills room 101. Someone can be enquisitive about another's culture, but by other's it's deemed as racist. Mocking a class, regardless of his/her colour/age/religion etc is demining. I think sometimes genuine interest or a lack of understanding/education is put down to an 'cist' of some sorts. People need to stop being so paranoid.

I think your last sentence says it all. You are making assumptions when you haven't been watching it.

Life is very diverse and BB shows this in a magnitude of ways....thats why its called Big Brother and thats why most of us watch it....it reflects life in so many ways...it happens all around us every day.

We dont watch it to see everyone be nicey nicey to each other but we watch people react and deal with it. These housemates put themselves in the house as experimental mice.... dont feel too sorry for them....but simply support the good!!

If you watched yesterday's highlights you'd know that Caroline received a final formal warning about that, and tbf she really seems to be sorry about it.
But dont worry an outsider will win for sure.

You are so right. They go through vigorous audition processes and psychiatric tests. They are often actors actresses, models etc already represented by agents. They know exactly what they are getting themselves into and in a lot of circumstances have a gameplan and know what people want to watch. With no live feed the show is now more of a soap opera with the producers making characters that they can edit any way that want and show only what they want. People tend to forget that BB is a gameshow it's not real life. Circumstances and events are set up to cause conflict because at the end of the day the producers want entertainment. They wouldn't get much footage if everybody was sat around talking politely about the weather.

Finding it hard to watch as well and cannot even bring myself to say I have any particular favourite anymore as the good guys have all been booted out. Also, had to switch off Bit on the Side because of that really irritating Rat thing. Who thought it a good idea to put it on instead of someone with an opinion who doesn't keep interupting others when they speak?

To be fair I don't think Scott said anything racist. But Ashleighs comment "Do you know what, they used to do that in my dad’s takeaway, my dad owned and Indian takeaway and they used to eat everything with their hands?” is a little racist. It implies that all Indian people eat with their hands.

But then again I haven't watched it yet, just read an article about it:

Oh actually reading it back Scott saying "I think it's the culture" kind of implies that its normal for Indian people to eat with their hands.

it is actually normal in Indian culture to eat with your hands though... That's a fact.

Is it racist to say that it's normal in japanese culture to eat with sticks?
