perhaps no-one was watching ... they may have all been down the pub, and only spotted it when they were making the highlights show. Or, and more likely, the decision maker wasn't available at the time, and so no action was taken.

They'd probably be at a loss of what to do if a "decision maker" wasn't around whilst a housemate was bleeding to death on the kitchen floor.

If someone was bleeding to death on the floor they would probably let them - after all they have to do something to get the viewing figures up...s'all fun, fun, fun...

Viewers - Who will be voted to lie bleeding to death on the floor? You decide...

(It's got a ring to it...)

Depends on the person from whom the saliva is coming?

It can be.

Moderately risky maybe, particularly if Aubrey had a contagious disease, but I don't see why so many people are getting so upset. Marnie is inserting her bodily fluids into Lewis all the time, and I'm sure Bear would happily share his body fluids with Aubrey if given half a chance. Ease off on the outrage please, life carries risks and we are all human, this is what humans do.

What anyone accepts 'knowingly' is fine and up to them, actually messing with someones food and them not knowing is totally wrong and unacceptable.
This was all done in a flash,what if she had a slight bleed from her gum and small traces of blood were in the saliva.
Or even worse than that something else.

I would hope no one I knew would ever spit in my food and I for sure as a Human would never do so as to anyone elses.

I would be really making a very strong complaint about this and I would also bet had he done this to her food and drink,he would have been out the door now.
Just as she should be.

Yes Joey consent is the issue here

CONSENT. That's the exact word....I couldn't put my finger on it completely but you are bang on ....the diff is consent.

Yes, I agree with this. I'd be upset too because what she did was without consent. Where I differ is that if Bear would happily kiss Aubrey, which I'm sure he would, then the issue is no more than one of consent, not much different to using someone elses makeup when they are not there. Yes it's wrong, but I've read comments online saying that Aubrey should be kicked out and Bear should be taken to hospital for screening. Bonkers overreaction in my opinion.

Kissing is not the point it is mutual. It was put in his food and drink without his consent. That's the bottom line and she should have been shown the door.
A very serious line was crossed.

I wonder if other celebs will even want to go on the show anymore after this.

Perception and truth. I was about to post the same.

But has anyone not thought that perhaps some member of the production team MIGHT have spotted Aubrey spitting in Bear's food and drink, but 'turned a blind eye' and did not report it because they thought he had it coming to him - repulsive act or not?

From my perspective, if the prick wasn't such an obnoxious, bullying yob, then Aubrey would not have thought about doing anything to him.

As vile as her act was, he is greatly culpable.

Was thinking the same thing, Kirk.

I don't believe anyone deserves having their health put at risk, he hasn't done anything that bad to warrant his food being spat in, in fact all he asked for was multiple cups of tea, it's a TV show, he is not banged up for crimes against children, as for the production team turning a blind eye, they may pay dearly for it both financially and in getting people to take part in the show in future, it's not their place to turn a blind eye

Well said Cherie If I were him I would sue Aubrey and BB for not stopping it happening

Absolutely right Cherie,no way should her filthy and disgusting act be condoned in any shape or form in my view.

Anybody ever doing that to me would never hear the last of it and I would also take my chance in court as to suing them too.

Anything to do with food being messed with or risking contamination of same, should be dealt with in the most severe way.
It stuns me anyone can think he warranted that,would they think the same had it been her spitting on and in what they were due to eat and drink.
Really low behaviour from her, really about as low as you can get.

[mr rochester]

Weak decision makers create weak products. Production clearly all (no) work experience devotees.

[EspeonBB]

I wondered this too. They should've just called her into the diary room before she was about to give the sandwich to Bear

[Drew.]

My initial thought was that they must have panicked and they didn't have enough time to decide what action to take but seeing the clip of it the sandwich wasn't made and the drink hadn't yet been prepared so they must have had more than enough time to do something so yeah, weak decision making

[jaxie]

I mentioned this in a thread earlier but in the early days of BBUS a woman once scrubbed the toilet with another guy's toothbrush and production immediately reprimanded her and forced her to tell him not to use it (although she lied and told him she accidentally broke it). This happened on a show which is notoriously lenient when it comes to intervening and handing out warnings

They have a duty of care towards the housemates and the fact they let this play out is appalling, if I were Bear I'd probably be more angry with the producers knowing full well they could've stopped it. I mean would there be any grounds for a legal challenge here?

I agree with you.

[the truth]

the show is sexist against men , period....its funny to spit in mens food and drink, the women laugh....its ok to trash a mans bed with sauce and powders and to drench his shoes ha ha...last year they threw mens clothes in the pool oh how we laughed...mens ties and clothes shredded by frenchy before that...the list goes on ...its just men ha ha rylan clarke will soon laugh it off

[Northern Monkey]

If he'd have kicked off with them about putting his health at risk they'd be ****ting it now.He may still do that when he's reflected on it.They probs won't show it either.
