Then you have the BOTS crowd who are generally fine but there are times when certain panellists or audience members say something really nasty about a HM and it gets cheers and applause. That worries me. By applauding people when they say something spiteful, it makes it look acceptable to be spiteful. Not only that, it encourages more people to do the same if they think that being spiteful will win you crowd approval.

Back in the old BB days, no one got booed unless you were really bad. Back then people were much more sporting and realistic about BB. It was only a game show and fair play to all those who go on it.

But these days, it's sunk into booing crowds shouting disgusting insults at HMs. Then you have BOTS crowds really cheering and applauding certain spiteful comments. Throw social media into the mix and no wonder it leads to death threats online. The hatred is pretty much encouraged as part of the show.

The producers also create an environment for hate with all the forced aggression and playing up to the cameras. I can just feel it in my bones that either the show will be canned, or something bad is going to happen. Its certainly not easy viewing
