That's ridiculous. The housemates and BB largely decide who the public can vote for. If the women are dominating the highlights and cluttering the eviction line up then a woman will be evicted.

It'll all be back to normal next week and we can all sit back and see the "natural order" of thing return as women start getting evicted one after the other out of the house to a chorus of boos and settle down for the inevitable all male final where a nobody who has has the right body parts wins Ł100,000.

Yeah, that's why we've had male heavy finals for the last 15 years.

Oh no, wait, the majority of the finals has been fairly equal male/female lineup.

BB had to step in or we would have no females left and lets be honest the guys in there are about as entertaining as watching Marlon taking a dump.

I usually agree a lot with you but I wouldn't see the instances you list above as discrimination.

BB didn't just put them up,they were chosen in a haphazard way at times to be up for eviction,however there were always male housemates up as well.
Therefore the people who pay to vote had a choice of voting out a male or a female but used their money and time to vote out 3 females.

I said in my post earlier that giving only the females power would be discrimination only if in a later week BB doesn't give all the males power for a time too.
Since that would result in discrimination with only the males housemate up this week should there not be a week with only female housemates up.

For me however, BB is stepping in far too much and fiddling about with noms and saving this one and choosing that one.
Time they stepped out of the picture I think anyway, as to that for at least a couple of weeks.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear sorry im still hungover lol I was implying that discrimination does not exist in this task its just that BB are stepping in because the show is at risk of losing its bigger characters.

The men this year are just wet so I don't blame BB at all for giving the girls the power, they are the only ones who can seem to form an opinion and not cry and throw a hissy fit when being nominated (barr Danielle in week 1 lol).

If the men had proven themselves and not let the girls rule the roost then maybe they would be the power housemates instead. Its because the girls have dominated the show and been opinionated whilst the guys pretty much lay low as to why they have been evicted first.

If the men want the power they need to grow some testicles and earn it!

Yeah. Not like the boys didn't destroy the last power HM and ALSO got them evicted from the house

They whined and cried like like little bitches because they couldn't take being put up for eviction.

Look at the girls reactions this week compared to theirs.

Girls took it on the chin the boys threw hissy fits.

Even though Toya left she took her nomination like a pro.

[Marsh.]

I don't think any girls were in danger of going this week anyway.

Unless of course something was about to happen with Danielle and Ashleigh, I'd say Ash/Marlon/Steven were in danger this week regardless of this twist.

Only Helen would've been a guarantee and obviously she can't be evicted.

no but you saying that females are more argumentative and bitchy is

She said the female housemates, not females in general, try again.

Having said that, even Helen said she doesn't get along with women because they're "bitchy, sneaky and sly".

No it isn't, it's a fact that the females in this BB house argue and bitch more than the males

[Shaun]

well by strict definition of the word 'discrimination' yes

[Marsh.]

Let's just agree, male or female, they're all a bunch of bastards this year.

HAHA.

Agreed.

[reece(:]

no one wants to watch a house full of men, as much as they vote out all the women.

[andybigbro]

No it's just a twist.

I wouldn't have said the all female launch in BB8 was sexist either.

Completely different scenarios though.

The producers have actually guaranteed that a male housemate is going to be evicted this week.

That is a step too far with the interfering IMO.

You wouldn't be saying that if it was all females up tbh

That's just it though, yes I would. Like I have stated I am interested to see if they are going to give the boys the power next week and put all the females up.

Its discrimination no matter what.

They are doing it because there are less females they won't let males have power ,I don't see the problem this is just being dragged and dragged they can do whatever they want

It's sexism on both sides of the spectrum man or woman. That's like saying that racism towards white people doesn't exist. It doesn't get the same attention but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That statement in itself is sexist. Unless (and I hope) you are joking???
