Sorry for the cliche but if you can't laugh you would cry. Very tongue in cheek.

Nadia i agree went for the kill. But Ken did not help himself.

ken and Nick's situations aren't really the same tho are they.
The original social experiment was to see how people behave when cutoff from the outside world and forced to nominate people for eviction every week, with one being voted off by the public. Now Katie's point was that it's a failed social experiment because the views you're allowed to express are limited meaning you can't really see people true behaviour. This is a problem when the point of the experiment is to measure housemates behaviour.

Now in nick's case he was kicked out for breaking rules to do with the nomination and eviction system which is one of the things that big brother has manipulated in order to see how peoples behaviour changes because of it so rules stopping housemates from altering the system are necessary in order to stop them making the experiment pointless.

Also you have to remember that as well as an experiment it's a game show and nick's rule break cheated the game as it helped him advance further with an advantage non of the others had.

Well said

wow, it also made an reaction on me when i heard it, she was spot on.

..it hasn't been a social experiment for a long time, it's an entertainment show and I doubt that Katie agreed to go in the house for a social experiment but more for the fee she is getting..(and in the original CBBs the celebrities were raising money for charity and receiving no fee..would you want that as well, Katie..)...she says that people should be able to say what they want without being ejected and yet she's censoring herself because she's very much toning herself down from the things she says outside of the house and she didn't like it at all when Perez questioned her about sleeping with a married guy, so she really doesn't believe in freedom of speech at all when it's a criticism of her....

..anyway, it was a dumb thing to say, there obviously has to be boundaries to either abusing other housemates or sections of society otherwise it would also go back to the 'social experiment' of housemates being open to physical and verbal assaults which has happened in the past...

Unless its done to a man............ken was bitten bullied verbally abused and mocked by a pack of bullies....just as so many men on this sexist show before, who have been bullied abused hit in the face had their possessions destroyed lied about falsely accused had their cancer their impotency mocked etc etc and nothing has ever been said or even barely said about it.

[Merry Mockmas]

Katie censors herself too, if she really was so un-PC she wouldn't only be attacking fat people and gingers, and peoples names, a lot of people do all 3 of them things, it's nothing exactly breakout.

Tbh being against any Religion does not make you a racist or prejudiced really, I personally find a lot of the extremists that join these Abrahamic Religions to be barbaric, and backward in the way that they approach certain situations.

And with Katie she seems the type to me that only wants PC took away just so she can be really offensive, I mean she would have it that you would walk down the street and get abused for the colour of your skin, your weight, your height, nationality, Religion, the colour of your hair, your regional accent, why would some people want to remove just because you don't want to be polite? You can still be mean to someone without having to go too personal.

..I can't say that nothing has been said because most things are discussed in detail on forums and social sites etc, as well as being covered by the media..I don't believe it's a gender thing though, it's more the confined environment when emotions are heightened and it often seems to provoke a 'pack' thing...which is also why housemates cannot behave exactly how they want to without any boundaries...

The way she said people should be allowed to express themselves and be evicted by the process was spot on.

This woman responded to an advert in the paper 15 years ago to appear in a social experiment which turned out to be the pilot of BB and she is right in saying BB is totally flawed and again she is 100% spot on when saying people shouldn't be censoring themselves.

Shes just worded what ive been feeling for years.

yes Katie has a good side
Telling us what the rest will not

[Merry Mockmas]

The only time BB was man hating was in BB15, week 4's twist proved it, and BBOTS saying how the men in the house have had their balls chopped in the first week is another evidence.

Id gladly drop the subject of gender inequality but the women and the presenters keep dragging it into everything. we men have a right to respond without being called sexisy mysoginist pigs. its gone on for years now unabated. until the level of double standards is a disgusting joke. whats next will we be able to kill a man on tv but be called sexist if we talk about it? were not far away from such insanity

she a pleasant person. but nadia is worse. nadia is dishonest and controlling. she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, a person who demands rights for her friends and women. but doesn't give a damn for those outside her circle. shes a false prophet in every sense of the word. thoroughly dishonest

[Merry Mockmas]

Nadia is the type of Liberal that does my head in too The Truth, but Katie's way of being just plain rude to anyone that's different to herself is someone that's very narrow-minded, and just not a very pleasant person at all if all she can do is be negative about people.

...that's the thing though with it being edited so much, it's more of a 'hero/villain' thing and sometimes it's a male housemate and other times it's a female one and it's encouraged by BB with the editing to make the public 'hate', with no thought for that person when they leave the house...

Or perhaps they just wanted a dude evicted to balance out the three women who were already evicted.

But Katie never actually said she wants things back to how it was in season 1, people are just assuming that. All she actually did was point out the flaws in the "social experiment", she could think that's its always been flawed since the first ever episode.

she says that people should be able to say what they want without being ejected and yet she's censoring herself because she's very much toning herself down from the things she says outside of the house and she didn't like it at all when Perez questioned her about sleeping with a married guy, so she really doesn't believe in freedom of speech at all when it's a criticism of her....

Katie outside the house is obviously very exaggerated version of her true self. All we see of her on the outside is a couple of tweets, a news paper article or a this morning interview or something. We never even really get to see her true personality as she manly uses these formats to express her extreme views. In big brother however she is being filmed 24/7 so it appears as if shes toning down but we're really just seeing her day to day personalty.

Also just because you believe in freedom of speech doesn't mean you have to react positively to whatever anyone says to you it just means that you don't believe they should be prosecuted for what they say. I'm sure Katie didn't expect or wanted big brother to step in and remove Perez from the house when he was grilling her about sleeping with a married man.

..anyway, it was a dumb thing to say, there obviously has to be boundaries to either abusing other housemates or sections of society otherwise it would also go back to the 'social experiment' of housemates being open to physical and verbal assaults which has happened in the past...

She wasn't really calling for there to be no boundaries, like she wasn't upset at all when Jeremy was ejected as he had physically assaulted someone. All ken really did was share his unpopular views and Katie was upset by his removal because she(like I) believes that he should have the right to express his views( views which I am disgusted by btw) without being ejected. You can't really compare someone expressing controversial views to someone physically assaulting another housemate.

A social experiment doesn't have to be called a social experiment, the wording isn't important. What is important is that people are taken from normal life, and put into a house with different rules to normal life. That automatically makes it a social experiment no matter what you call the show.
