If all people have to judge a person on is by how they look then that is sad.. so much more to a person than how they look! OK so we all moan and groan as the model types wander in at start of every season in anything short & tight boobs so high up if it was winter they would be earmuffs.. but we give them a chance..and see how their personality does / does not shine through.. to be this far in and as usual the forum.. 'fatty bashing' is no surprise just makes me sad that people consider it a reason to dislike someone.. cuddly people can diet (if they want to)..ignorance lasts forever!

Noone would walk into a bookshop and buy a book because they like the cover.. they would want to find out what its all about too! -never judge a book by its cover (and all that)

IMO beauty isnt about having a skinny body or a perfect figure - how they treat others is far more important than how they look!

I may have made comments about it in the past (I'm not entirely sure because I've always thought of myself as being a bit chubby so I wouldn't have had any reason to do so).. but it's pretty immature.
Its not nice, no, but whats even worse is that their parents seem to be fairly normal sized, if a bit chubby, so they obviously dont let themselves get obese but they let their kids get like that, I find that shocking, its a form of child abuse to let these boys get so fat when its so bad for their health

Would their parents have given them a fag when they were teenagers, probably not, but they seem to have given in to everything they want food wise and they seem to view exercise as something 'other people do'

Shocking

Its not nice to have a go at people for whatever their differences are but your last statement, is UNTRUE. Why would publishers pay thousands for bookcover artwork if the cover made no difference to buyers, the covers are very important to a lot of people, whether they be plain covers with stark colours or beautiful illustrations

Having said that, the problem I have with the boys is that they dont seem to care that they have all that weight, and rather than seeing the BB basic shopping list as a chance for them to lose some, they have moaned all the way through about not having enough to eat
They have both lost weight on the show, you can see that when they show their original pics but I think that once they get out, it will be back to stuffing their faces sitting at home and will be a major drain on the NHS for the rest of their (short) lives if they dont wake up and smell the diet supplements

Not saying its easy, Im on a diet myself right now and its difficult but if you want to be healthy, then you need to watch your weight, whether you are too fat OR too skinny

Not healthy to be too much of either

Surely it's just as unacceptable, perhaps more so, to call Jackie old and a hag?

Well, they are fat, so fat I shall call them.

Where would you draw the line? Jackie isn't really old? Or is my calling Dan shrewd offensive to those who are less shrewd?

Jackie is a middle-aged dance teacher.... hardly old. Yes her face is a bit haggard but that's how Charlie will look in a few years time!

It's not even people calling them fat that I find immature because they are fat, it's the childish insults some throw out like humpty dumpty and the obese twins etc why not just use the names? everyone knows they are overweight?

Also people using really OTT insults or referring to housemates as It, Thing etc really grates on me because it just seems to be a level of hatred too far for someone on a reality tv show IMO.

I agree totally

Meanwhile, in other news, did that person who was poking fun at deaf people last night get banned?

If being called fat is the worst thing that happens to an overweight person, then they're doing pretty well in life. Some people have real problems, this kind of issue really needs some perspective.
