Even when asked about working out, Zelah found a way to steer it back towards that one topic

He likely is talking about lots of other things.
It will only be what BB put into the highlights that we get to see what he's talking about.

All Cameron K for instance has mostly talked about is weight and particularly his farming.
Which actually is understandable because that's his life and work.

If Zelah wasn't trans and talked about anything else, even stupid nonsense, he'd be more liked.
What is probably making people uncomfortable is the trans issue.
There's those who likely don't see HIM or don't want him seen as just normal, as much as normal can be, as to being human.

I like hearing his story, I've always liked on BB when they open up about the important events or personal elements to their lives.
However because he is trans he will be the target for certainly transphobes, and those also who are for them more possibly uncomfortable with trans issues while not wanting to admit they have issues.

I've had this conversation all week with the people around me, who however are not transphobes and most are liking learning about, plus even yes, wanting to learn more from Zelah's story of his life too.
I'm also sure to some others with little knowledge of the subject, however wanting to or try to, understand more, he'll be helping clear up questions on transgender matters.

Personally Joey I have no issues with him talking about being Transgender, but I do wish that he would talk about something else as well.

I wish the same for Nancy about her cultural heritage stuff too.

But like you've said, they probably are talking about other things that BB aren't showing for some reason.

Well it's not surprising Mock that they only show what BB wants shown.
I've lost count of the number of series, where housemates that seemed to say next to nothing, or seemed to do nothing.
Where even on here it was said, once others revealed conversations they'd had with them.
It was said, ''well how come we didn't see that, how come we didn't hear those other conversations''.

It was only because BB put out what BB wants to put out.
It is obviously their show after all, however many housemates have likely been deprived of more representative highlighting of their time in the house.

It does seem however that some are possibly just more uncomfortable with transgender talk.
They'll have their own reasons I'm sure.
Would maybe actually be more pleased with utter tripe being talked about.
Or rather more time or the majority of time taken up with romances or showmances hogging the highlights.

I know what I'd personally prefer and it's NOT romances or showmances.

BB post-Live Feed era definitely has those issues that you've described.

I remember how shocked for example the public were last year that Marcello and Thomas were meant to be best friends in the house, because we never got to see much of Thomas at all throughout the series.

The same with Maisy in the year that Aaron won, she barely registered on the highlights from what I remember.

And I'm fine if it were possibly a real Romance blossoming in the house, but not one that's formed after three days of knowing each other.

Some people namely Cameron the Farmer , Zelah , Fayisola and possibly Elsa are maybe just too nice to flourish in the Big Brother experiment ??
