Default On the verge of switching off

Really on the verge of giving up on this

Why is everything about Zelah and the LGBTQ drama

It’s so draining
And this is coming from a gay man

It’s all just so over the top, the traumatised crying

It’s just too much

to think that warnings used to be issued for actual fights or spitting etc .... the producers are basically saying BB is now a fairy tale world, not based on lifes reality at all

She made a call and lost big time!

She knew her comment was potentially hurtful but reckoned that everyone would think the comment was hilarious and took a gamble

I wouldn't say I feel sorry for her, but only because I think she willingly took a risk and didn't anticipate it would blow up. She's been testing the waters with crass comments about other HMs and a lot of them are digs, but they're crafty enough it's easy enough to miss.

I only feel bad for Zelah, but only because, he really doesn't deserve to be the butt of a joke. That said, if she didn't want her morality put on the table like that to be crucified by most of the house, she should've been more tactful. She was only sorry because she knew that there was no way after seeing the blow back that that wasn't going to get way out of hand, so she backtracked.

I agree with you personally.

The episode needs to be more like the first half of the episode as it felt more like proper BB.

You despair for society because people are expected to respect others? Come on.

No one’s being dehumanised for saying the word woman. They’re being challenged when they use it to exclude or belittle others. That’s not persecution. That’s accountability.

What’s actually disgusting is pretending your discomfort with progress makes you a victim. Society’s moving forward. You can either keep up or keep moaning about it online.

Zelah obviously knows that they're still biologically a woman. Was that reminder really necessary?

That's not the best defense against constructive criticism imo.

It's meant to be Big Brother, not Zelah's Trans Story.

Exactly!

Housemates from either the Channel 4 or Channel 5 series wouldn't last 2 minutes now without facing a warning.

We're basically watching a CITV version of Big Brother, it's sad to think what ITV has done to one of my favourite childhood Shows.

Big Brother has always been a social experiment. All walks of life.

No one is obligated to watch it. If it’s not providing you any enjoyment surely the most obvious answer is to not watch it?

I haven’t watched this series and thought “this is Zelahs trans story”

It’s because tonight was very heavy and showed the real lives of many many trans people. The reactions from the people who will never have their lives impacted at all by a trans person are the loudest of course.

Shows like Big Brother are important.

Fair enough on your other points.

But I really wouldn't say that society is even moving forward, unless a Dystopian future is your version of paradise.

And yes, I'm going off-topic a little bit towards the end, my apologies.
