Oh come on she was used as a circus football to either laugh at or be shocked at . If they just let her be honest at the time then it would have had a better outcome for everyone. I know transgender was a new thing back then ,but the way they handled it didn't help.

They might not have been marrying eachother but they were sleeping close together,same room and living together for 3 months plus they were all getting drunk and intimate with eachother.

If you think it's fine to keep that secret??...then where do we draw the line. Will BB producers next have a contestant who pretends they are trans just for views ??.

Keeping her identity a secret , just reminds me of that awful reality show 'There's something about Miriam ' which was exploitive and unfair & immoral to everyone involved.

I never watched that series tbh haha so can't comment on the specifics of how the issue was treated.

As a principle though I really don't see why someone should feel obliged to tell the others if they're trans. Lots of housemates will have pasts that they didn't reveal to their fellow housemates. At the time she went into the house she was a woman so what does it matter if she used to be a man?

I have to disagree

If you're living with someone closely for 3 months , surely you would want to know?

And the media had a field day ,I remember seeing in a magazine an image of Nadia before she transitioned .... So clearly she was treated as some experiment, for BB producers to get ratings and cause drama.

Tbf Nadia wasn't in a relationship with anyone in the house, so it's not like they needed to know.

I know she wasn't in any romantic relationships in the house. tbh i don't really class a romantic relationship in the BB house as authentic anyway until they leave and still continue it, but that's another topic lol.

But didn't Stuart & Jason get touchy feely with her in a game of dare ??. I remember that series of BB being wild in the sexual theme.. it seemed most of them got flirty .

I suppose I would judge the severity of that based on if Stuart or Jason ever do an interview saying that they were uncomfortable about getting touchy feely with Nadia during the game.
