Boring. All she did was bathe with Winston.

No, I am not "wrong" dear, I simply don't share your opinion.

Tamara was boring. End of.

[Mystic Mock]

Yes because imagine if they had have done Marlon and Mark as the PHM's this week? People would've cried racism and that they've basically said **** the other ethnic groups in the house which is what BB has told the guys this week basically.

At lest she didn't become a control freak like Pauline, or go savage like Toya. And if all she did was sunbathe with winston how did he get to be favourite to win the show?.

How is it discrimination? Don't be ridiculous, Josy.

Comparing her to bitches doesn't make her interesting.

Boremara provided nothing, such a let down of a housemate

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Is the fact the 3 girls being evicted 1st discrimination?

BB had to step in or we would have no females left and lets be honest the guys in there are about as entertaining as watching Marlon taking a dump.

[Marsh.]

I don't think any girls were in danger of going this week anyway.

Unless of course something was about to happen with Danielle and Ashleigh, I'd say Ash/Marlon/Steven were in danger this week regardless of this twist.

Only Helen would've been a guarantee and obviously she can't be evicted.

If you are horrible to live with and get nominated you are more than likely going to be evicted regardless of gender, simple.

Well if its regardless of gender there should be no issue seeing as you don't see different genders as non equals do you?

If all male and female housemates are equal because you don't judge them on their gender then why is this discrimination?

Its just like any other twist, no big deal.

Was BB8 Sexist? LOL!!

Possibly but I think it's obvious why 3 females have been evicted first and it's nothing to do with gender.

However this thread is specifically about the twist and asks whether you think it's discrimination or not.

Your first comment in the quote above doesn't even make sense in relation to my comment?

We, the viewers get to decide the balance of the house and if that means more females get voted out first then so be it.

They are nominated by the others for a reason....

Can you explain this better because I'm not sure whether my brain has stopped working or it doesn't make a bit of sense.

T-H-I-S. It's been going on for years and no-one's said a word about, now, all of a sudden it's a man's problem so people have panic attacks about the "injustice" the "poor guys".

It'll all be back to normal next week and we can all sit back and see the "natural order" of thing return as women start getting evicted one after the other out of the house to a chorus of boos and settle down for the inevitable all male final where a nobody who has has the right body parts wins Ł100,000.

Hmm I don't think anyone's even that bothered about it tbh but it does seem like its discrimination.

I will be interested to see if next week is 'Boy Power' but I very much doubt it will be..

Agreed but it does make her less offensive and more deserving of a bit better treatment than she got. Anyway, all the men are dull but people seem fine with that.

Yeah, that's why we've had male heavy finals for the last 15 years.

Oh no, wait, the majority of the finals has been fairly equal male/female lineup.

If you want to relate this to sexism then it would hold more water if a man could be evicted in Tamara's place. Only 3 women faced the vote that week so it's irrelevant. It was a woman no matter why people were voting.

And don't try to tell me only women get heavy boos. The majority of the housemates bar a couple at the end have got heavy boos for at least the last 8 years.

They [I]have[I] to do it sooner or later otherwise it [I]discrimination[I] but they'd better move fast or they'll run out of women fast.

I usually agree a lot with you but I wouldn't see the instances you list above as discrimination.

BB didn't just put them up,they were chosen in a haphazard way at times to be up for eviction,however there were always male housemates up as well.
Therefore the people who pay to vote had a choice of voting out a male or a female but used their money and time to vote out 3 females.

I said in my post earlier that giving only the females power would be discrimination only if in a later week BB doesn't give all the males power for a time too.
Since that would result in discrimination with only the males housemate up this week should there not be a week with only female housemates up.

For me however, BB is stepping in far too much and fiddling about with noms and saving this one and choosing that one.
Time they stepped out of the picture I think anyway, as to that for at least a couple of weeks.

That's ridiculous. The housemates and BB largely decide who the public can vote for. If the women are dominating the highlights and cluttering the eviction line up then a woman will be evicted.

No, wasn't talking about sexism, I was just trying to explain why I think Tamara's eviction wasn't exactly fair that week-I voted like mad to get Danielle out because of how she acted, I think, by comparison, Tamara was harmless.

No-I was talking about this week''s twist so that BB put all the women up and let the guys do the voting.
