If a hm complains about him, with grounds for doing so, BB have no choice but to kick him out

Oh no, not Mr Nice Guy, so humble, so contrite, so meek, yes BB, no BB three bags full BB, handwringingly submissive wimp.

He would never do something like that, he would have us believe.

If he has then he, or anyone else, wont be popular with Lewis fans and punters, the trolls will be in their element. It wont be good. He could have acted on behalf of the others as he put himself in charge of the house right from the beginning although he wasnt there for Zoe, he scarpered when Hussain and her fight erupted. He is such a people pleaser and he may think that this is what the public want, I hope not tbh as life will be hard for him if he has done it. I doubt it but there we are, perhaps we will never know.

Cant stand the bloke regardless, Cameron to win now with Brooke on his tail...
Cameron may also have Tomasz fans voting for him along with the Gay community....looking good...

as are people in denial

your hero admitted himself he had issues
clearly he was unable to get on top of them himself, hence the need for therapy

That is for him and his family to decide, not unqualified keyboard pseudo mental health diagnosticians who believe dementors are real to decide.

I can't decide that, it was a well-meaning suggestion
dementors aren't real, but some people act like them so if the cap fits

They will all need therapy when they come out and realise that Lewis was the hero to so many

Why do you find it funny that someone might need therapy.

I have seen substantial anger and vitriol on here far worse than anything Lewis did on the show....and people like you who find it funny to mock someone who has issues..you should be ashamed.

If it really was a convo with Brooke and Cameron, it would realistically need to be on of them that complained. Its possible he called Brooke a rug muncher or something in the 'flirty' way he does, which I expect could offend as I am sure she gets that a lot. But even that, I can't see them ejecting him outright for it. Even if she had taken really bad offense to it, they would just not air it at all. Very similar to the crap in the freezer, and just edit out anytime anyone tried to talk about it It would be a good 'gameplan' to ham up offense, as I said I do think its been done before. But in a private convo with Brooke and Cameron, how would Akeem even know, to take offense at something that wasn't said to him

The apology covered a few bases, from memory, gender, sexuality and race. Seemed more of a 'I am sorry you took offense' type of apology though, than actually admitting wrngdoing.

I also agree that so called 'PC' has gone too far sometimes so yes its a possibility that this was unwarranted, regardless of how much I don't like Lewis (though haven't watched the show for like 2 weeks now so maybe he got better ). I have in the past disagreed with ejections of people I disliked and agreed with ejections of those I disliked. I think on the whole though, unless someone behaves really really badly, there shouldn't be ejections at all. Its a reality TV show. Sometimes reality is ugly. BB used to show a lot more than they do. This is the fault of those who appear to watch the show simply to find something to complain to ofcom about tbh. I hope they show the incident. But I doubt they will, regardless of Emma saying we would see on Sunday.

Its been clear the last few shows that BB were waiting with baited breath for
Lewis to put a step wrong ,Rylan has whipped the BOTS audience into a frenzy over him and i commented on all the panel being against him on Thursday nights show, now this is rare that all 3 were anti one hm8 ,Doesn't take a lot of working out does it ? Enjoy your win Akeem safe in the knowledge you were BB chosen winner, but not the publics

I agree with you in principle, Chuff, and, therefore that Lewis left "on a technicality", but I still think he was totally obnoxious and am glad he's gone.

I can't help but feel uncomfortable with people defending him blindly. What if he said something that personally offends you would you then change your opinion?

For instance if it were your child with a disability he called a 'mong' would you find that unacceptable or just allow it because we should have freedom of speech?

Hasn’t Zoe got a child with a disability? I wonder if it’s that

That is not the fault of viewers.

If they were given even a statement that cleared up the confusion, I am sure that people will be able to then judge Lewis on his actions.

I know there are lines that shouldn't be crossed and if he has, then that's it for me but until then..............

[bots]

its really the same thing that people have been pissed about since that poll on the voting thing happened and then the week in a day ... and then the nominate your favourite

If people are going to vote, they want transparency. Tell the viewer before hand whats going to happen, and if someone gets ejected, show why it happened. Beep out offending words if necessary, but at least show the context

Even if it is not shown you can guarantee it was awful though if they felt the need to eject him on one action alone. In the diary room when he was told to go they never said he was going after repeated warnings and they showed Rodrigo saying the n word so it must have been something without questionable context. Lewis even admitted it was an awful slip of the tongue.

If it were Sian in this positionI wouldn't swear blind devotion to her like some Lewis supporters are.

I don't think that the more reasoned posters will have blind devotion, perhaps a few but that can be pretty much on both sides.

I think it is the severity of what he said which is at the crux of the problem. How severe would it be if the production wanted him to stay?

All these unanswered questions, There seems to be politics being played here by Channel 5, we just don't know.

I know I have had enough and after tomorrow will be goodbye.

A bit rich coming from someone who attacks people for their looks and the state and colour of their teeth....its allowed because its your freedom of speech even though its unacceptable.

Whatever Lewis said was obviously deemed unacceptable..he has gone. He paid the price. He is a great loss to the show and he was the favorite to win..so he was well liked. His haters have run him down and called him all the names under the sun and wallowed on this forum in delight that he has gone. So his supporters can support him as much as they like because we don't yet know what he has said. If it was something unacceptable..he was wrong..but it wont stop us supporting him as the best housemate and his loss will have a huge effect on this show and this forum. As much as many of you disliked him he gave you much to talk about. Many other housemates actions went by the by because you watched his every move to find something to pull him up on...just like we his fans looked to defend him. This forum might be noticeably quiet on Monday..and I can bet your bottom dollar Lewis will be talked about until he final. That's his impact..
