i would love to see them all get ratted but it probably wont happen we might be lucky enough to see 2-3 of them get a bit tipsy but that will be about it you never know though they might 'accidentally' misjudge the units per person one night.


they have a good reason not to be dishing out the cider like they used to so slagging them off for it is just daft.

Don't get me wrong, BB's producers have been incompetent for years now, but I realise they are not fully responsible for the drink situation and they have to follow guidelines set out for them. But it frustrates me all the same. Is there any other country in the free world with such an insufferable control freak of a TV regulator? The absurdity of a post-watershed TV show that is allowed to depict bullying, foul language and misogyny, but can't show people getting drunk is comical.
