I know this sounds a bit tasteless do you think he might think this might win him BB13? if it was a lost lost sister or half-sister.

If its not i do agree its tasteless of him not leaving to be with his family.

[Sophiee]

that's terrible being his sister. I do hope he remains in the house though.

[Mrluvaluva]

His sister? That's surprising. You would think he would want to support his family, but who am I to judge other peoples actions that do not directly involve me. I am sure there will be an explanation. Different people react in different ways and he would have gone through a lot to get his place in the house. Maybe his family said he should not give up? Maybe his sister really encouraged him to audition for BB and was a great support? Who knows...

[Samuel.]

Agree with Matt. Not really a decision for us to judge.

So sad No way could I have stayed and I'm very surprised he has chosen to stay. I know BB is a once in a lifetime opportunity but he will never get the chance to mourn for his sister again, he should be with his family. I think he will end up regretting staying.

[swinearefine]

I would probably go back in if I were him, because I wouldn't want my relative to feel like it's their fault that I'm leaving... even though they would be dead and have no idea what is going on.

[joeysteele]

I felt really sorry for Scott tonight, especially when he came back to the house and just went to lie down.

We don't know the circumstances of his Sister's death,really it's nothing to do with us anyway, I have little doubt though she and his family would have likely encouraged him to do it in the first place and also would want him to continue in BB if he felt he could do so.

Ironically,being in the BB house could be a massive help and support for him. I don't think he is looking for any sympathy vote,he cannot help when someone dies.
I would like to think he can continue in the series, he is a decent guy and as I said I felt really sorry for him.

Scott previously said that his parents didnt want him to go on the show though?

He said they were worried he would "bring dishonour" on them.

[cfromhx02]

Yeah wondered who had died.I thought it was a bit insensitive of him to come back into the house so quickly, but it depended on who it was.But as it was his sister that doesn't make him look good in my eyes.

Someone dying especially a sister brother or parent is far more important than fame and maybe getting a career through being in the house, unless he wasn't very close to his sister and she's been a bitch to him, like my sister's been to me, then it's more understandable.

[Saph]

Nobody can say he was right or wrong to go back in the house. For all we know he could have hated his sister? We just dont know.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I aint seen my sister in 3 years, we aint close but if she suddenly died i would leave to be with my family.

Like i said though thats me Scott is obviously a complete different person with different aspirations.

[erinp5]

I do hope Scott has made the right decision.
Very sad times for Scott and his family .

[Shaun]

I have a half-sister I've never met and I'm not sure I would leave if she died since I have no one on that side of my family that I know or talk to that's still alive anyway. It really is quite impossible, or rather improper, to pass judgment on him for this. Everyone deals with grief in different ways, and some of them might be questionable.

[flamingGalah!]

Wow, I'm quite shocked by this

I can't understand why anyone would want to go back in the house after hearing their sister has died, even if he wasn't that close to her etc.. surely he would want to be with his family?? There are some things in life which are far more important than Big Brother & this is one of them...

[jyunga]

We don't really know the situation though. He said his family didn't want him to go in the house but that might have been his parents. His sister might have wanted to see him go and enjoy it. In that sense staying around the house might be something that he is doing because he knows his sister would have wanted him to.

Extremely shallow of people to jump to the conclusion he might be doing it just to win the show IMO.

[InOne]

I'm sure he has his reasons for staying. He seems quite sensible so it's up to him at the end of the day. It doesn't affect me one bit as he's not a major HM or one of my favourites so I'm easy whatever he decides to do.

[jet]

The fact hat Scott said he didn't want to talk about it could mean it's not a straighforward situation. Families can be complicated.
He didn't go back in to gain sympathy or play on the situation. He isn't going on and on about it or trying to dampen the atmosphere. He is just being himself - and I admire his lack of guile and honesty. I think he is suffering in his own way - he seems a self contained and dignified sort of person.

[Jack_]

Wow...that's awful, RIP to her and I hope he's alright.

And I'll only repeat what some have said in this thread already, it's nobody's business how he chooses to deal with the news and grieve - it's his sister, nobody else's. Admittedly I'd be straight out but like others have said, everyone deal's with grief in different ways and nobody has the right to judge him for it. I can actually see the benefits in a way - being in there would surely in some respects take your mind off of it, maybe that's why he's chosen to stay?

Regardless, he's entitled to do as he wishes and I don't think it's anybody else's place to comment on that especially at such a sad time for him.

The sickest thing about that article is how it has an evidently serious tone and they decide to revert at the end to:

'HOUSEMATES got a scary I’m A Celebrity-style task yesterday.

They had to stick their hand into a sealed biscuit tin to grab a treat.

And they were warned ‘‘another surprise’’ awaited them.

Among the surprises were chickens’ feet, jelly worms and slime.'

What the ****? Sums that paper up.

Was about to say that. You'd think considering the show and that paper are ran by the same *****s - they'd have some consideration towards the housemates they're writing about, obviously not though.

Really well put Jack, I agree totally with you.

Of course we have the right to judge, that's what BB and these forums are all about. Judging people's personalities, reactions to situations etc. If you don't wanna be judged by all and sundry on national TV, you don't enter the BB house in the first place.

Well personally, I judge them as housemates. Depending on how entertaining they are, how they behave in the house, how they treat the other HM's etc. Their personal life doesn't really come into it. Their personalities do. Unless they had done something absolutely dispicable, like murder, but I don't think we've got that far yet...
