Bit disappointed that some housemates used Heavy's obvious obsession with food as a reason to nominate him I'm sure there are plenty reasons to nominate him without bringing food into it

Because he is a bloke it is considered fine. If they were all nominating a woman for that reason then there would be uproar.

First thing youve said that I agree with!

Can you imagine if it was Renee they said it about ? Jesus !! and she's not Dainty Dora !!

No one commented on his weight though, they pointed out that he takes/eats more food than the rest of them, which is fair enough considering everyone should get an equal share of the shopping budget.

Of course he is going to eat more, would you expect Katie to the same amount as Heavy? It's just a PC way of saying he is greedy and by association ...fat

Yes, exactly- it is what is being inferred that is the problem. I think there was some discomfort in Heavy at what was being said during nominations, and this might have been part of the reason he threw food all over the floor- if it's on the floor, he can't feel ashamed or guilty about eating it.

Well, he is greedy. Watching him stuffing his face at the party the other day when he was supposed to be on slops for the good of the group was instructive, in this respect. He is a glutton, and therefore, not uncoincidentally, he is massively overweight, to the point where, at forty three, he's probably never going to see his penis again, unless he spends a bit of time angling the mirrors correctly.

He was coerced into eating by Lewis and Bear, the equivalent of encouraging an alcoholic a drink. I don't think about his penis but knock yourself out if you want to

Yes, I hadn't thought of that but you are spot-on here, Cherie.

Are you too busy thinking of L.T.'s Cherie?

Like everyone else in the world, I have no interest in Colin's penis, beyond the occasional bout of morbid speculation. And as far as him being 'coerced' into eating the cake, it wasn't as if Lewis and Bear were holding a gun to his head, not even metaphorically. What annoys the most about Colin is that he won't acknowledge how weak-willed, and how desperate for any kind of attention, however toxic, he really is. If he threw himself on the voting public's mercy, and admitted that grown-up life is just something he doesn't understand, that he's going to need help with coping once he leaves the show, I could see him making the final. But he's going to have to drastically alter his strategy. As he took great delight in telling Bear, ten minutes after Chloe left.

Yeah this, it was nothing bad. I'm surprised with having the nickname of 'Heavy D' that he hasn't received more comments like this, even on forums and stuff.

If he has an eating disorder and in addition if he's a bit backward and a vulnerable adult then BB should either not have placed him in the house or should have made the others aware of his special needs...otherwise it's cruel....on the other hand if he isn't any of those things then hes just a wind up merchant the same as Bear....only not as good or as funny.
Just like Lewis isn't responsible for what Bear does I also don't think Bear is responsible for what Heavy does....when some accuse Bear and Lewis of coercion it once again creates a false image of both of them....if anyone is coercing people I would say it's Renee

[Ian Coke]

What's really depressing about 'Heavy D' is that in spite of them humiliating him, time after time, he'd still do anything to be accepted by Spewis and Blair.

Agree with that it's like the unpopular kid at school trying to fit in somewhere and failing, it's quite sad really that his self esteem is so low he needs their approval

They're 'celebs', virtually every week they'll get a luxury shopping budget.

I thought they said he was greedy.....it's not necessarily the same thing....not saying you are wrong but I didn't see it that way....food is valuable commodity in that house...its currency.... Bear waiting food and Heavy always grabbing for more annoys all them in the same way ...they are constantly telling Bear off for it and he's not a big guy.

Heavy got his own food from the shopping budget this week though that wasn't shown on the HLs only Bears shopping, so to nominate him for being greedy when he got his own food is fat shaming in my eyes

[erinp5]

Not about his weight, it's about him being greedy .

I'm not disagreeing with you ...if he only eats his own food then he should be allowed to do what he wants with it and not be nominated for it ....there just seems to be some opposition from others, some of whom I wouldn't expect to pick on him for his size...but I've said they're not a very nice group and are mostly insincere so your theory is just as likely as mine....I'm only guessing after all.
