BB won't let HMs just give a comedy reason for noms - they make each HM say something that dishes dirt. They demand negative truths from HMs.

Then they give warnings for it???

Audley handled himself with honesty, integrity and understanding over the whole Kellie nom thing.

As a result - he has gone up in my estimations - and Kellie and BB have gone down.

Spot on!

my feelings exactly robodog. Audley to win!!

I wonder if he would have been given a warning had Kellie not done her little 'pity me, you hate me because I'm a transgender' routine with him this morning? ridiculous warning if you ask me.

I thought this too...

Kellie gets arsey whenever somebody nominates/criticises her in a task so whatever Audley's reason had been for nomming her she'd have got all defensive and offended.

Her self pitying is really getting on my nuts now, i can't cope with her anymore, i hope to god that she goes tomorrow.

[Sophiee]

I don't think what audley was saying was offensive, I actually agree with him but it's never a good move to reveal your opinions on something like that in the house.

Hi Sophiee... you're forgetting.. in BB honesty is offensive!!!!!

[FlippingEck]

If I hear Moany Maloney witter on about the "Journey" to being a woman, I think I will scream...

No-one is buying it ffs.. that wig tho...

[Tarryn]

Dee should be given a warning for nominating George coz he has a high pitched voice then.
It's something he cannot change & a personal insult.
Double standards

Before writing this article I actually had to email the press team to make sure this was a proper diary room warning and not a Housemate just warning him.

[Ultimist]

I think Audley was respectful about the whole thing. The warning was totally unwarranted.

It's human nature that any major change around us takes an adjustment period. When we get to know someone, we eventually attach an "identity" to that person. We get used to seeing them a certain way, interacting with them in a certain way. If someone you know, and have known for a long time, was a man for decades, and is suddenly asking you to accept them as a woman... it takes a time to adjust. It's definitely not like a light switch. I felt that Audley adequately explained his reasoning... but evidently BB producers didn't think so.

I guess they're too worried about offending the public (people changing the channel is what they're really worried about). In this case, though, I think they got it wrong.

I agree! I think Audley was very PC and not offensive at all with how he dealt with the situation. Maloney is over-sensitive and bloody annoying. If I was in his shoes, and had worked with a man for 20/30 years, who I then met in BB as a woman (but hadn't even began surgery..) I wouldn't want them in my bath. and I am openminded but like you say, everyone needs time to adjust. Warning was uncalled for.

yet Dee doesn't get a warning for nominating George because of his voice?

What a piss poor reason for nominating someone wasn't it...

Dee.. I nominate you for being an idle waste of space and looking/talking like a bloke..

[Bluerang1]

goodness sakes

[Brother Leon]

His reason was understandable. Of course he's going to take a while to get used to it seeing as he's known her for years as Frank. You nominate who you want to live with least and for him the whole awkward nature of it all means it's a reason for him to not want to live with Kellie.


I can just see BOTS now going PC overlord now regarding it too.

[ThriceShy]

So Audley isn't allowed to nominate someone he has known for 20 years due to his discomfort with their new gender.......but 9 housemates are allowed to "brutally" (in Dee's words) nominate a 70 year old disabled man for things that are a result of his disability.

True! Anyone who nommed Gary for having to repeat themselves needs a warning if Audley needed one. Ridiculous.

Exactly, political correctness gone mad. Completely ridiculous

[LukeB]

dee should get a warning to, her nomination was silly! channel 4 would never accept this

[warrenhill]

Audley is the only house mate to know Frank before the show so of course he would feel a little awkward around her now...
