I do too. Charlotte's lack of interest means she's now my least fave and even though Raph attempted to justify voting for Trump it only showed how uninformed he is.

NO. Big Brother should be escapism. They should ban talk about politics.

I liked the politics discussion at the start of the series too, it was a bit messy with them shouting over each other but several housemates made good points

It's not worth telling them this now when she'll probably have been ousted for offering that Irish bigot party Ł1 Billion to agree with her on stuff. Amazing how quickly she found one of those fabled ''magic money trees'' when her position was at risk! She couldn't ever seem to find one when regular people were in desperate need. Dispicable woman.

I've been trying to use the fact that there's a current BB series to stay out of the 'Serious Discussion' section. The amount of political ignorance and stupidity regularly on display there makes me fume.

Oh I'd rather argue about a bore winning Big Brother than people thinking that the sun shines out of the Tories ass.

I can 'sort of' understand the thinking Raph put forward for his voting decision but i've never lived in the US but was still fully aware that this wasn't ever going to be the result if Trump became President (which he has been in title only!). Surely Raph would have seen this ? Surely he must have been aware of the kind of man Trump is ?

Trump is a greedy, selfish, dishonest con-man with repugnant views and 'values'. Luckily he will not last to the end of his first term but every day he remains in power more damage is done to the US itself and to its relationship with the rest of the World.

It's a welcome change from the trio of topics in every show:

1) Sex
2) Relationships
3) He said/she said bitching.
