I agree with you but also Bear and Heavy are wasting food.

Big fan. After his lean nomination speech for Renee, i do not see him as fat at all, unless you are calling winston churchill a fat bastard too!

That's true, but the difference is that the fake boobs are something she made a conscience decision to add to her body, rather than being something she naturally is or has become. To me, there is a subtle difference.

If they chose their own food, was it actually the food he purchased that he threw over the floor, rather than the communal food? Coco-Pops surely wouldn't be communal food?

Thats a good observation, possibly he threw the food he had purchased on the floor as he was upset by the greedy comments? Something sparked it which wasn't shown as they want to save Lewnie

We obviously can't know that for a fact, but I think people who have often been made conscious of their weight or size might well have a difficult relationship with food.

Maybe, in his drunken state, this might have triggered guilt and shame about eating, especially if the nominations had made him feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about his size. To me, it was almost like he was angry with himself and was beating himself up by doing that.

I have no problem with anyone eating huge amounts - it is ALL the considerable food and drink which has been thrown on the floor and wasted which I have a problem with.

I think it is time that BB punished ALL the house and put them on beans and rice until further notice.

This WOULD create proper drama.

Yes, it would if this was the automatic consequence for wasting food. I like the idea of being put on basic rations with all other food confiscated for a few days.

The trouble with that is that when CBB housemates are deprived of food and booze, they just retire to bed. They've already been paid, so why should they do anything?

I'd like to see that too, I think BB are very lax in punishments for bad behaviour.

Definitely are! If they chose the right punishments it could be very amusing- they have potential to create a lot of humour if they put some thought into it!

I remember Cristian in BB16 being nominated for a similar reason that he was greedy and used to eat too much food and take food of other people's plates or s/t.

I don't think they were weight shaming him. Being greedy and being fat are two different things.

Great example....food causes more arguments in BB then anything else...always has. It's the only thing they all look forward to...it's the main focus of each day....if it's disrespected it pisses people off, that's why Bear targets the food cause he knows it annoys them.

It's obvious that Heavy is addicted to food, whereas Cristian was all about protein and keeping his body shape so there is a difference in my view

[hot2go]

Sometimes when someone is big they are excused for things that slimmer people wouldn't get away with...I thought Gemma Collins was lazy but it was often dismissed as fat shaming ...when in fact she was just lazy

[MB.]

Also Sam was voted the most greedy in BB17 and he's hardly The Biggest Loser

You can be a skinny person and eat a ton and vice versa. They nommed him for being greedy, not fat

Is anyone starving in there? If they were on basic rations I could understand it, they had a massive shopping budget as well as all the extras they get

I really dont think he was nominated for taking spare food. He probably just got a bit of a rep for taking the last egg or taking a double portion after the meal is served.. Nobody is starving but I bet people had to have a smaller dinner because he wanted a larger one a few times or somethig.

[StephenPullen]

He's a greedy attention-seeking barsteward

I don't think its necessarily fatshaming to say someone eats a lot. I know so many really skinny people who eat like horses.

I think there are different connotations when the person is actually fat though, it's not like there aren't a myriad other reasons to nominate him, I didn't think it warranted bringing greed into the equation.
