Of course, it should never have gotten that far. But it was a very odd situation, not one they have ever faced before.Thats not an excuse for their slowness, but it might explain why they didnt react quickly enough.

When Dennis spat in Mohamed's face in series 6, he was removed straight away. You would think that one contestant threatening another contestant and then putting their hands around the contestant's neck would make BB sit up and take notice. BB were wrong and negligent to let things escalate as they did.

You arent going to get an argument here. It shouldnt have gone that far.

I dont see where you are going with this.

I am pointing out that BB have acted quickly before to stop a situation escalating and it's not the only time. So I disagree with your point that this was entirely new ground. On the fact that BB were slow to act, we seem to agree.

Having a man grab a woman by the throat and threat to "nut" her is fairly new ground. But its not the first time they've allowed things to escalate out of control. The famous "fight night" comes straight to mind.

Should they always act quickly? Of course. But the reality is that they do mess up.

All the more reason for BB to act more quickly than before, rather than more slowly. Hard to understand what caused them to 'mess up' and put Hazel at such risk.

Thanks for that I agree and have been trying to get that across, some are wise enough to see that, some aren't and stick to hackneyed argument.

I agree...BB should have intervened far earlier, maybe after she pulled his pants down......just as they should have should when denise was hitting Michael madsen in the face.....shame these double standards in favour of female housemates continue.....keep it fair and balanced and yodu have a better show
