I really agree with this point. I found Lewis repugnant (sorry Dean, I know you loved him) however, production has been massively inconsistent in how they have policed their version of what is and isn’t appropriate. He should not have been removed for saying something that wasn’t aired because no-one could be offended by something they had not seen. If they were going to get rid of him how about using the misogyny we all saw? Anne Widdicome was utterly and at times hatefully un-pc and came second. It is perfectly reasonable then to draw this comparison just as it is completely fair to draw the Barrymore comparison... Sauce - goose - gander. Bad decision by production team. |

Lewis is using his Instagram account to actually help people who are affected by suicide or depression. He's doing a lot of good. Of course the keyboards warriors don't understand that. I pity them.

They do understand Vanessa , unless they are unbelievably thick,they just think they are mighty warriors behind their keyboards, when really if they were confronted you wouldn't see their arses for dust, I do love all those positive comments for him though, it just shows most people do understand people make mistakes and he has owned up to his , I don't know what else people want, he seems a lovely bloke, complicated but nice.

Precisely - Barrymore was pathetically offensive as was Widdicome (at times). Production deemed it ok to air this for us to cringe over nevertheless. Inconsistency by Production is forever going to be very frustrating indeed. One minute it’s this then the next minute it’s something else. If you were to draw this to it’s natural ridiculous conclusion we would be faced with housemates who sat in silence for 6 weeks for fear they may offend someone...grrr

IF Lewis uses this notoriety for good and helps people that is a great thing - mental health needs talking about and if people feel they can open up to a person from a TV show then that is great. I still say C5 had very little choice to remove him...anti-semitism has been highlighted a lot recently and is a massively emotive subject, far more than in the Barrymore days and so to protect the brand they really had no option to remove him now.

It’s Corbyns fault.
If he hadn’t made anti-semitism such an issue in this country Lewis might’ve got away with it. |

Never been a Lewis fan but i’ve always been against removals for things people say. Let them speak freely and deal with the consequences on eviction night and when they get out imo. |

I think any other year, they would have just gave a warning and be done with it. But it was horrendous timing, with the shooting. Also I suspect he had had many warnings previously about various offensive language. And no, we don't always get shown warnings..didn't Helen Wood get like 30?
Anyway, this makes a lot more sense, than when it was claimed that it was just about saying Auschwitz instead of outfits (which is an almost impossible 'mistake' to start with IMO...was almost certainly an attempt at a joke rather than a 'slip of the tongue') which it very very obviously was not.

...(I’d like to think..)...that in any year and with any housemate...any form of ‘kill the jew’ mockery/flippancy/jokery ...the specific use of those words would never have any level of acceptability within any reality TV show for any contestant to have said in whatever year /circumstances or whatever they were said in...the words he used could have only resulted with an ejection, nothing else would have been acceptable imo...everything else being noted just detracts from the seriousness of what was actually said by him and that, that was enough....

But the annihilation of the Jews was actually Hitler's prime directive. Hitler doesn't become a harmless object of derision if you neuter what he was about. Unfortunately we will never see the manner in which Lewis was doing his Hitler thing. |

Exactly the world has moved on, Biggins was chucked out for more or less the same thing and there was no fuss about that ejection

Probably because i'm guessing his comments WERE ACTUALLY aired? , i never watched that Series but i heard about it .
Plus Biggins and Lewis are both physically different looking , that's all i'm saying . |
