In general response to those comments how you don't judge HMs from outside events etc, only what occurs inside the house. Well, it's all intertwined with them being there in the present, and the general makeup of their personality etc. and basically impossible to fully differentiate. If housemate X tells a story about something that happened to them outside the house, you form opinions about their personality from the story they've retold etc.

Now you're judging the rest of us... I can categorically state that Scott's decision to return to the house and remain there for however long he sees fit, or until the time he is evicted, will not affect my view of him in any shape or form. It's irrelevant to me. (I don't mean that in a callous way).

So, if in the next few days, if he talks about his sister, and how close he is to her or something (as an example). You will not form any opinions regarding his decision. I'm not saying he will, for all we know it may never be discussed by him, and that's fine.

As I said earlier, unless he said something which I found truly dispicable or abhorrent, then no.

Ok, that's fine...you're entitled to your thoughts. I personally find it pretty much impossible to think that viewers can completely detach their thoughts in that way. The only solution i could see, would be...if Scott mentions his sister, that you turn off your TV or something...

Not really. I just don't find myself having to form an opinion about everything. Same way as I don't have an opinion on Benedict doing porn for a living or Luke A being transgender, for instance. It does not affect me. It's their life. As long as they are not hurting anyone, why should I judge someone for their decisions?

You are right, in a way. What we can do though is decide we can't judge a situation we know absolutely nothing about and which Scott has declined to speak of. If he went back into the house just to get everyone's sympathy and attention and that was obvious then it would be hard for a viewer to detach themselves from that. But that is clearly not the case.

Absolutely. If he wasn't that close to her, either didn't really like her or something, then he should carry on. BUT...if he starts moping, or getting sad, i'd be thinking, what are you doing staying on National TV, when if you cared for her, you should be grieving with your family.
