it was a simple answer to a simple question about the show, not intended for any housemate particular.. so .. oh wait.. you are missing the whole point..

as it comes to cb, i totally agree with bb's decision..

[user104658]

Just to add on another level: Yes I would PREFER that they kept people in and let it kick off naturally. I quite enjoy seeing these people destroy their "national treasure" status and 40 year log career .

But it's still not up to us. Well, it is in a sense I suppose, as the "customers" we can vote with our feet and simply stop watching... but if the company believes that they'd lose more revenue by showing this stuff than by shutting it down then again... that's their decision.

The reason i stopped watching was we dont get to see live feeds or we dont get balanced highlights show. These are not real people anymore, they are "characters" that bb decides to create.

What we need is we need to see all housemates and everything they say, pure truth. They literally knew what kind of person Andrew was yet they decided to bring him to the house just to eject him couple of days later.

We should be able to see what happens and we should have a fair say about who gets the boot and people shouldnt be ejected for silly reasons.

I agree with that and I much preferred early BB (especially) seasons 1 - 7 than what we have now... but essentially I think we need to accept that it's a different sort of show now and closer to semi-scripted reality shows with guided / set up situations, and enjoy it as that, if you enjoy that sort of show. I'm quite enjoying this series because it seems to be sort of fully embracing that now, instead of trying to be "somewhere in the middle" which just doesn't work.

Ban this person right now. Kick him off the forum for suggesting grave robbing and digging up dead people. I have never been so offended in all my life.
This is a disgrace.

that's kind of the point isn't it, people make all sorts of controversial/disgusting comments on social media, but get all huffy when someone who is not their fave says something controversial, the whole thing is ludicrous beyond belief, everyone is so busy being offended by everything

How Nice

[armand.kay]

Bb can be a bit ott sometimes most other show just let problamatic chicks stay stay and get clocked by other cast members.

[Munchkins]

Nope it's better to let these views be aired in their full nature, so people can see how deplorable it is

Biggins saying that he doesn't like Bisexuals is an opinion.
Biggins saying that AIDS was a Bisexual disease and they are responsible for contaminating the world is Slander.
Huge difference.

[smudgie]

It's a shame there was nobody in the house interested in having a proper debate about the issue.
One sided throwaway comments don't really tell you much.
Back in the day it was considered to be a gay man issue, then women started getting it.......I remember watching a tv drama where the wife was stricken with it after her husband slept with another man. Lovely way to find out your husband liked men as well.
This was at the time of the big AIDS campaign poster messages, the public had no clue what was going on really, but only gay men or people that shared needles got it was the general message given, that and the fact it was a death sentence.

People should not be forcefully ejected imo because of their opinions.The world would be very boring if we all like robots thought exactly the same way.
BB ejecting people and hiding their conversations is straight up censorship.Should this apply to all genres of television and media?
If not then don't censor BB in this way.
They are treating the viewers like special snowflakes who need to be in safe spaces and can't handle an opposing opinion.

I'll never watch BB again because of it. Not that I ever watched it in the first place.

It seems Big Brother producers are gay humourless jews that dictate their opinions on the British public. I feel sorry for you people on the island.

I remember when Bill Hicks was admired, adored and appreciated. Now the political correctness police of the humourless gay jews would probably throw him in jail.

Personally, after Tila Tequila got banned I was annoyed, now I just say goodbye to BB for good.

I agreeand this could not happen if BB was like how it started ie on 24-7 available to all. it is turning ito a show of manipulation.

"we get to vote them out?

Wrong C. B. Attacked the Jews


Another Example of that was Ken Livingstone
who had a show on LBC.
he said something against Jews in some way
LBC SACKED him fast

I think it would be interesting to watch an anything goes/ no rules apply Big Brother.. But then again these people are being hired. Nobody should be able to insult a community, any community and be payed 150k for doing so. I don't think it would work on Civilian BB either because a lot of people purposely support the controversial characters because they mistake their cuntishness for some weird form of entertainment.

So no really, not for BB. Theres a line somewhere, BB needs to make this line clearer and more consistent but crossing it should equate ejection regardless of how much of a talking point / national treasure the offender is.

It kinda used to be like that until CBB5 came along. That's one thing I hate about BB nowadays is how PC its become. Housemates used to be able to get away with much more a decade ago compared to nowadays. Look at a series like BB6 for example, which aired in 2005, if that aired a decade later in 2015 it probably would've caused a bigger race row than CBB5.

These days you can't say anything without the Ofcom brigade flipping a lid and complaining. I mean we even have warnings before the show starts ffs. And that doesn't just apply to controversial comments but also other things like nudity, sexual scenes and bullying.

[Withano]

Stating an opinion is fine. It has happened hundreds of times throughout this series already

What Biggins said about bisexuality can not be described as an opinion because he is simply incorrect. Some things do not require an opinion, some things require an education.

If you have an opinion that a fact is untrue, then you're an idiot, if your stupidness has potential to insult a community, you should get a warning. If you continue to insult a community, any community, you get ejected. Seems like fair rules to me.
