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.

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

[Josy]

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

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?

..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..?...

I said that last night,they allowed her to give it to him

[azi]

They don't care just like when Evelyn was in the suitcase.

[Clootie Dumpling]

I accept the points made about the issue of consent, but don't believe that Aubrey should have been ejected.

I do believe that BB staff should have been aware of the incident and nipped it in the bud by calling her into the DR with the offending drink and sandwich before she had the chance to give it to Bear.

[hot2go]

Jack is right off course but what's interesting is how small the reaction to this, compared to the reaction of James invasion of personal space two days ago....not a lot of people saying poor Bear and bully Aubrey.... Like they said poor James and bully Bear.
If someone had done it to Saira or Renee there would be twenty threads on here today not just Jacks.
Why didn't James speak up against this, why did none of the housemates react on the level they did to Marnie flashing at Saira and why did BB allow it to happen ? They're always telling the housemates that BB sees everything.
Seems to me that because people don't like Bear that it's ok for someone to spit in his food. And I assume that's the opinion of a lot of Aubrey fans and Saira supporters who have clearly abstained from expressing their disapproval. At least one or two can be seen here but it's s poor show guys.

i can only assume that either we're not going to be shown any negative reactions beyond what was shown yesterday or we'll get a highly edited brief version to limit drawing viewers' attention back to something bb wants brushed uner the carpet.

quite frankly, if james didn't then i'd be surprised, but the level of overall vile humanity in this house has sunk lower than i've ever seen it. CBB is going to have to do a shedload of damage control if it ever hopes to get anyone worthy of the name 'celebrity' beyond the towie/geordie types to take part in the future. damn, channel 5 might as well do away with emma, rylan and marcus and just install jeremy kyle and be done with it.

Hopefully Bear will grow into a more positive type of person now he's consumed Aubreys saliva

He can hardly get more negative.

[Liam-]

The producers are to blame for allowing him to consume the stuff, they could have stepped in and put a stop to it, but they didn't, they allowed it to go ahead and then made a fuss about it after the fact, if they were that worried about Bear's 'safety' they shouldn't have allowed it to get to him, Aubrey is a scapegoat for someone's lack of instinct.

[Liam-]

(She did deserve the warning though, no matter how deserved or hysterical it was)

[Robodog]

I agree with OP, I would be outraged if that was me. BB sees all. And then what? Turns a blind eye when it suits?

Of course Bear is a grade A plum and deserves his come-uppance etc but you HAVE to put those personal views aside and have an equal fairness policy towards ALL HMs, no matter what you think of them, especially when it comes to health.

To think of all the ridiculous OTT warnings and interventions in BB history over very little. This is a time when BB should DEF have stepped in before Bear consumed the food.

Why wait for him to eat it and THEN call the doctor?? Why not stop him eating it?!

Would a mechanic let someone drive on a bald tyre and then call the recovery vehicle when it crashes?

Prevention not better than cure?

I was wondering about this too.

[GiRTh]

What she did was disgusting but the level of 'banter' in this house is unprecedented. BB should have intervened when James and Bear had their food fight the other day but if they had would they be accused of being too strict? Passing body fluid thru food is never acceptable but at what point did the banter go too far? For me, it was way before Aubrey spat in the food.
