I can understand people finding Ali’s behaviour questionable but I’m seeing people calling her an evil racist and then I’m also seeing so many harsh comments about Khaled as well and like… I think people are just feeling they need to have a “baddie” on the show and I’m very much a “woke snowflake” but I think any slight behaviour gets picked up on in this era.

Nobody has really been that horrendous for me on ITV.

I’d have loved to see some of these new viewers put up with proper bastards like Helen Wood (who I liked) or some of the horrendous C4 housemates who were just absolutely nasty.

I think over the 3 series we’ve had on ITV they’ve been tame in comparison.

I’ve seen so many people calling her racist on Twitter. Didn’t specifically say on just here!

Look in the episode discussion thread, can’t remember the exact page but it was in there I believe.

Tbf I have seen people on here say she didn't like Khaled because he was Muslim which I don't agree with st all

[GlitterUK]

Ok will have a look on there and see.

And welcome to the hateful side of social media.

People are truly rotten human beings.

Ali hasn't done anything really that bad. People forget it's an entertainment show, a pressure cooker and it's OK to not get along with someone

Glass houses and stones springs to mind

I am truly disgusted by some people, without derailing just look at Liam Payne, Caroline Flack

This is true. Unfortunately, when people put themselves in a very public setting, like the BB house, in which the aim is to be more popular than others in order to win a game, they will inevitably gain both very positive and very negative feedback.

However, in this day and age, I can’t imagine that anyone who chooses to put themselves on national television isn’t aware of social media and how it operates. Sadly, it is inevitable that they will be judged, and that there will be comments out there about them that they won’t like.

The reality is that they go in with their eyes open, and must make the choice to either ignore social media, or to dismiss and disregard any hateful comments. If they don’t feel they can do that, they are probably making a bad choice in participating. I think contestants on these shows need to share the responsibility for what happens to them afterwards, as they go in knowing the risks.

The irony is that these people don't realize that they are just as bad (in some cases worse) than the very people that they think so lowly of.

I’ve been so concerned with Ali’s wellbeing after the show when she’s informed of all the hate directed at her that I raised the matter on this very forum a few days ago.

I stopped watching the show after last Friday’s eviction program as I was getting stressed seeing her so ill at ease and unhappy ( hiding her true feelings) .

Awh, that's a shame.

I know you have tried to support her massively, but people will be people.

I do tend to go against the grain with people, especially when there's so much hate directed towards them.

The best thing that could happen imho is for Ali to put her mental well-being first and walk out the back way .. it would also give the producers something to think about as they would be losing their most IMPORTANT character … and viewers

It was a poor decision to go into the house in the first place imho

I don't want her to leave, but I'm probably thinking selfishly there.

The show wouldn't be half as good without her. I wonder what we would watch

I'm similar tbh.

It's why I've even tried being more supportive of Marcello recently, because some people have taken their dislike of him too far imo.

Well maybe other people feel stressed and uneasy, how do you think Khaled feels constantly picked on by her for just breathing .

Both are very toxic!

Don't use social media it's bad for your mental health. They can't stand that a gay woman is successful in life and wanna drag her down. It's ok for straight housemates to express their opinions and not be portrayed as the villain.

I agree with you here, but I think that always happens. The audience of shows like BB can often forget to step back and observe housemates as complete, complex and flawed individuals, and instead reduce them to a number of traits.

I think both producers and the public have a tendency, and a preference, in fact, to assign ‘roles’ and labels to housemates, and then judge all future behaviour according to that label. The narrative generally then becomes quite a simplistic story of heroes and villains,

I wouldn’t say Ali is racist. I also wouldn’t say she hates men. She’s just seems to have a lot of negativity about people which she always needs to vocalise

[GlitterUK]

I don't think she is racist but she does have men issues imo.
Had a quick look on twitter also.

I agree BB like tio pick who the chosen ones are at the start and who they want to go far. They encourage the baddies also so they can build people up then chop them down the next week for entertainment purposes.
