I was thinking about this the other day actually. We always say the controversial ones are usually female and that's why they're always evicted early on, but if you think about it, the most controversial incidents in the show's recent history (which usually leads to lots of reports to Ofcom) have all been because of a male housemate. These are the main incidents that have been controversial in recent years.

Daley threatening Hazel and getting ejected (BB14), Conor making derogatory remarks towards Deana and women in general (BB13), Jay *****ing in the freezer/Aaron winning yet leaving the house to boos (BB12), Marcus supposedly mocking Sree's Indian culture, which received over 200 Ofcom complaints, Kenneth threating Bea and saying he would pay people to deal with her and Sree's mental state and self-harming issues (BB10), Dennis spitting in Mohammed's face, Alexandra threatening violence on other housemates once they got out of the house (BB9), Emily using the N-word (BB8), Shahbaz's mental state and threatening suicide (BB7) and of course Jade Goody's racist behaviour towards Shilpa (CBB5).

So out of all of the 12 major controversies that have happened since BB7, 9 of them were caused by male housemates and 3 were caused by female housemates.

So even though the female housemates may be more loud and argumentative, it doesn't necessarily make them a controversial housemate.
