Haha. Good point

[Vanessa]

I hope Andrew has told Shane not to do that again.

They have warned someone before for the same thing pretty much..someone not offended....but it was still inappropriate....so why not this time.

There has to be a line...a consistency...a rule.


...and viewers have complained.

The only complaints I've seen were 'BUT SOMEONE WAS GIVEN A WARNING FOR THIS FIVE YEARS AGO'. Thats not a real complaint about Shane, why should Shane be punished for that lol. Nobody (that I've seen) is worried about Andrews safety or uncomfortableness, only that BB isn't consistent. Its a bit sad actually when you think about it. State of the fans haha.

Perfect example is Sam from CBB20 who got defended yet still got a warning , and didn't Chloe rub herself on 1 of jedward and got called to the Dr.

But Jasmine grabbed Callum's crotch several times and because he either said nothing or joked about it she got let off the hook.

So either they scrap the warnings or they stay consistent . Otherwise it's confusing and sends out mixed messages .

And I disagreed with it then, too. Perhaps they've learned since then that it's wrong to make somebody feel guilty for something that didn't offend or set out to offend.

But why did they make Sam feel guilty then last year . Jemma confirmed she was okay with him and that they were having a laugh. You can tell they've been mates a while .

Yes that's what I'm saying inconsistent .
He pinched her boob when she wore a see through dress / underwear or something. And she told BB she's fine and that he was joking with her,yet he still got called to the Dr for a warning .

I felt it too..don't get me wrong. HOWEVER pulling someone's underwear down and joking about 'assault'...is a bit uncomfortable to watch especially as Shane has a bit of a soft spot for him.
Like I said if Ginuwine did that to Ashley and they joked about assault...it would be a whole different ball game even if she wasn't offended.

Bookmark this thread because it’s going to happen again within the next few series’ and with a different outcome from BB.They don’t know what they’re doing with regards to rules.

For sure !!
Of course it will happen again. For years BB has been all over the place with rules . Even nomination reasons they gave Malika a hard time yet Rachel got let off the hook for nominating Johnny for his looks

Discuss!

So it would be all right if one of the guys did that to one of the girls.

Andrew may not want to make a fuss about it, can be an awkward position for a straight guy, but that doesn’t mean shane’s Behaviour was acceptable.

Gay guys can do no wrong in this PC mad world it seems, especially when they happen to be funny and entertaining. What progress,

Shane J is a hypocrite considering he's a feminist Who's always sticking up for women who claim they've been assaulted etc and treated badly in general by men .

Am I saying I agree with what Shane did tho? I'm simply asking the question.

It may have been that innocent if it wasn’t so obvious Shane fancies Andrew who he knows is straight. It was uncomfortable.

Exactly...

Doesn't really matter if BB warns him or not. The issue boils down to whether it has cost him some votes in upcoming evictions, and I think it has

I think he has put Andrew in a very difficult position and you don’t do that to people you supposedly like. I for one am not going to make excuses for him because he is funny. I felt embarrassed for Andrew and feel his friendly nature is being taken advantage of by a pretty shrewd Shane.

The viewers are offended by pretty much everything. Especially if a housemate that they dislike does something to a housemate they like.

OMGz, Daniel dropped a spoon next to Ashley and it bounced and hit her ankle. I am so offended, he should definitely be ejected for that, anyone else would be

Look, John happened to be looking in Shanes direction while Shane was getting ready for bed. What an absolute pervert. Should definitely be warned, preferably ejected. Imagine if he had been looking at a woman?!?!?!!?

I think we're just going round in circles here . It's not necessarily about "being offended" it's the fact that BB has put rules and warnings in place and seem to use them when it suits them rather than stay consistent to them .

And this goes for other things , like contestants getting angry and throwing tantrums in the past or giving invalid reasons for nominations. BB needs to stick to it .

Otherwise don't bother atall .
