Default The Mikey Debate...

There are lots of opinions about BB this year regarding Mikey...lots of things have been said about him being bullied. Many have said that if he wasn't blind, it wouldn't be considered as that. Others have said he will get an obvious sypmathy vote and much more has been said.

I am still in two minds as to if BB should have put him in there. I feel he should have had a chance...just because he is blind doesn't mean he shouldn't have his chance to get into the BB house, and he did audition after all, so it's not like he doesn't know what BB is about. But do you think they should have let him? Is it all just some kind of stunt to get the public back on their side after so much bad press in recent years?

Do you think they did it simply because he was blind and knew he would have a running chance to win or maybe they were trying to be less controversial in letting someone with a disability into the house?

What are your opinions about this? I know there will be many different kinds, but I think we should keep in mind that we are all entitled to our own, whether we agree with them or not.

I think the thong argument was a little over the top! Ok...he was having a laugh, he wore someones underpants over his clothes, it was an innocent joke...I dont think he should have been spoken to like that, noone should have been, being blind does not come in to it.

I do think that BB bosses did the right thing putting him in the house, he auditioned, he wanted to do it, so why not?

He shouldn't be in there. What's the point of going on Big Brother if you can't see anything ffs! Would he have got on the show if he wasn't blind? I don't think so, it's not like he has that much of a personality to justify a place in the house so he's in there simply because of his disability.

I just dont think it's right, it's not fair on the housemates and it's not fair on the viewing public. I don't wanna watch Big Brother and feel sympathy for someone, it's just not that kind of show. Like the wedding for tonight, it was pretty good viewing and I had a good laugh, but every time the camera panned over to Michael, I felt sad, and watching a grown man cry like a child is always awkard but even more so when it's a blind man. It's just sad sad sad and I don't like it.

Nobodys gonna nominate him so he'll never be up for eviction unless there's some kind of mad twist, and even if there is he'll never get voted out over anyone in that house and it's all on the fact that he's blind. It's not right and its fair.

That's my two cents
