To be fair, Mikey from BB9 was despised on the forums for the first half of BB9. He gained popularity when he started mouthing off to Rex and standing up for himself. He would have been evicted very early if the public had the chance.

I think the U.K loves to back an underdog, and unfortunately disabled housemates are often seen as underdogs. On the otherhand, some assume that the housemates with a disability will automatically win due to sympathy. Its a catch 22.

At the end of the day, disabled housemates have just as much right to be in there as anybody else. Mikey did not win BB9 and he certainly didn't get any sympathy at first. Verne has not won this (yet) and so far, the only disabled winner was Pete from BB7.

Abit early to be kicking up a fuss about it.
