Weak decision makers create weak products. Production clearly all (no) work experience devotees.

If someone was bleeding to death on the floor they would probably let them - after all they have to do something to get the viewing figures up...s'all fun, fun, fun...

Viewers - Who will be voted to lie bleeding to death on the floor? You decide...

(It's got a ring to it...)

I wondered this too. They should've just called her into the diary room before she was about to give the sandwich to Bear

[Drew.]

My initial thought was that they must have panicked and they didn't have enough time to decide what action to take but seeing the clip of it the sandwich wasn't made and the drink hadn't yet been prepared so they must have had more than enough time to do something so yeah, weak decision making

I mentioned this in a thread earlier but in the early days of BBUS a woman once scrubbed the toilet with another guy's toothbrush and production immediately reprimanded her and forced her to tell him not to use it (although she lied and told him she accidentally broke it). This happened on a show which is notoriously lenient when it comes to intervening and handing out warnings

They have a duty of care towards the housemates and the fact they let this play out is appalling, if I were Bear I'd probably be more angry with the producers knowing full well they could've stopped it. I mean would there be any grounds for a legal challenge here?

I agree with you.

It can be.

[the truth]

the show is sexist against men , period....its funny to spit in mens food and drink, the women laugh....its ok to trash a mans bed with sauce and powders and to drench his shoes ha ha...last year they threw mens clothes in the pool oh how we laughed...mens ties and clothes shredded by frenchy before that...the list goes on ...its just men ha ha rylan clarke will soon laugh it off

[Northern Monkey]

If he'd have kicked off with them about putting his health at risk they'd be ****ting it now.He may still do that when he's reflected on it.They probs won't show it either.

[Shaun]

I can't imagine they're that vigilant about surveillance any more and just wait for some greasy idiot to point out that two of them are snogging before they can gather round and groan "phwoooooooooar" and put it on Snapchat.

Lol

[armand.kay]

What I don't get is how did they manage to get the right cameras on her and the right angles and framing if they weren't paying attention to what was going on.

[the truth]

They knew she spat in his food and drinks they have people manning these cameras 24/7

[iRyan]

She was pretty sly the way she did it

[wendywillow]

I think they caught it after the face, with a full house theyre monitoring a bunch of cameras and realized it after Aubrey told renee, I cant imagine they just watch it go down, also it was probably a minute or so from spitting to him eating it

I don't buy that it was missed.

In channel 4 days every single housemate was assigned to one member of staff per shift and they monitored them round the clock iirc.


Unless channel 5 skimp on staff.

They can't admit to actually seeing it and letting it happen as Bear would probably sue, either way they have stuffed themselves as what self respecting celeb would want to go on the show now the duty of care has been chucked out the window in favour of drama

..there doesn't appear to be any duty of care in any aspect though, Jack..and this is why I just can't completely hold with the 'it's just entertainment/reality TV' view..because whether celebrities or civilian, these housemates are putting themselves out there for so many judgements and yet they are treated with such contempt and also set up by BB in HL shows as 'villains and victims' which brings them real hate and hate that follows them and touches them when they leave the house as well...anyways back on topic...would they have allowed it to be drunk and eaten had it been the other way round and Aubrey being the one who it was given to and her being American and open to being sued American style..?...

Moderately risky maybe, particularly if Aubrey had a contagious disease, but I don't see why so many people are getting so upset. Marnie is inserting her bodily fluids into Lewis all the time, and I'm sure Bear would happily share his body fluids with Aubrey if given half a chance. Ease off on the outrage please, life carries risks and we are all human, this is what humans do.

What anyone accepts 'knowingly' is fine and up to them, actually messing with someones food and them not knowing is totally wrong and unacceptable.
This was all done in a flash,what if she had a slight bleed from her gum and small traces of blood were in the saliva.
Or even worse than that something else.

I would hope no one I knew would ever spit in my food and I for sure as a Human would never do so as to anyone elses.

I would be really making a very strong complaint about this and I would also bet had he done this to her food and drink,he would have been out the door now.
Just as she should be.
