Lionel looked the most aggressive to me in that argument and I like both Luisa and Lionel.

Why does his age matter? He was being ridiculously foolish and his argument was basically "Yeah I told you to break the rules so I could eat the contraband food, but you shouldn't have done it you selfish bitch" so yeah no thx human.

Lionel acting like he didnt do anything wrong is bs. also him saying we were in there makes no damn sense either. i think it was bs for BB to put that all the annoying room on Luisa. Lionel was apart of it as well. doesnt matter who grabbed what. they both broke the rules along with Jasmine. if he cared so much he shouldnt of ate anything but then again its all the women fault when it comes to most of the men in that house. Luisa is right. its bs hes acting all innocent and acting like it was just the make up that got em in trouble. self righteous prick. then there comes Jim saying we agree with you. i wish someone would of told Lionel he was just as wrong since he ate the chocolates. him going on about the food rations was stupid cause what Luis and Jasmine did and well his ass did had nothing to do with the food rations. that was Jim blowing the task so easily. i like the task and all but Jim surely did blow that one horrendously lol. since the job was to not be detected he should maybe not pick everything against the people he had problems with. otherwise i think it would of worked.

...I think that they were as bad/childish as each other but I agree in that I think that a lot of people would have considered his age as well and I personally wouldn't shout at someone that age, I think that lots of people wouldn't ...but I guess it was a bit of a difficult one for BB as well because calling him in and seeing that he was ok etc, could have inferred a 'bullying' thing from Luisa..?..I don't know, I just think they have to be careful as well because they did make the decision to put someone of his age in and the BB house is usually filled with arguments...maybe they did talk to him in 'private'...and were confident that he was ok and decided not to show it...

You hit 70 and suddenly you're a baby again to be coo'd over and taken care of? **** that. If that happens to me when I hit old age, I'll be packing myself off to Dignitas.

If in his 82 years he hasn't figured out how to hold his nerve and win an argument, then he's just been straight-up lazy. Old people may be physically frail compared to adults "in their prime" but, so long as they're still in possession of all of their mental faculties (as Lionel is), there's no reason in the world that he should need "protecting" from anyone who isn't being physically aggressive. It's patronising.

I would question if he is in charge of his mental faculties! He forgets everything.

I wasn't insinuating he needed any protection either but I do think he looked shaken after the argument and that BB should at least have checked to see if he was alright.

I get what you are saying, but then big brother dressing an 82 year old in that outfit for the 18 room shows he has not got an oap pass.
he could of walked away at any point, but stood there trying to shout her down.
what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

As far as I remember apart from reiterating about the chocs she didn't insult lionel.

Jim wasn't part of that argument.

[Munchkins]

The chocolate thing was just stupid, both were to blame
I just think Lionel is a walking hypocrite i cannot stand him
It's so bad for the young ones to use bad language, but hes allowed to call them bitches and swear loads too?
It's bad for Jasmine to say about fingerbanging, but hes allowed to say suck my dick, even if it is part of the task?
He thinks because he is older he can demand respect from anyone, but if anyone dares say something to him its disgraceful and hes a victim
And the way hes sly and two faced, bitching about Jim and others but nice to their faces, awful..

And if he was shaken after that argument, he didn't need to scream and swear during it..

I agree, his sexism and complete double standards disgust me, I don't care what age he is

A lot of people seem to think that as soon as someone is old they demand respect and are a nice person, just as theres all the horrible young rude people, some of these old people were those people back in the day..

yeah, I mean ok maybe it is his age and what he's grown up being told is right but does that mean everyone should just pretend that he's right cos he doesn't know any better? He's not a toddler, he's a grown man, he should be called out on these things and re educated
