We don't really know the situation though. He said his family didn't want him to go in the house but that might have been his parents. His sister might have wanted to see him go and enjoy it. In that sense staying around the house might be something that he is doing because he knows his sister would have wanted him to.

Extremely shallow of people to jump to the conclusion he might be doing it just to win the show IMO.

[flamingGalah!]

Wow, I'm quite shocked by this

I can't understand why anyone would want to go back in the house after hearing their sister has died, even if he wasn't that close to her etc.. surely he would want to be with his family?? There are some things in life which are far more important than Big Brother & this is one of them...

[InOne]

I'm sure he has his reasons for staying. He seems quite sensible so it's up to him at the end of the day. It doesn't affect me one bit as he's not a major HM or one of my favourites so I'm easy whatever he decides to do.

[jet]

The fact hat Scott said he didn't want to talk about it could mean it's not a straighforward situation. Families can be complicated.
He didn't go back in to gain sympathy or play on the situation. He isn't going on and on about it or trying to dampen the atmosphere. He is just being himself - and I admire his lack of guile and honesty. I think he is suffering in his own way - he seems a self contained and dignified sort of person.

[psychtracker]

You'd wanna hope he's not particularly close to his family, and sister. Otherwise he may live to regret that decision, once his 5 mins of fame has inevitably worn off.

[Jack_]

Wow...that's awful, RIP to her and I hope he's alright.

And I'll only repeat what some have said in this thread already, it's nobody's business how he chooses to deal with the news and grieve - it's his sister, nobody else's. Admittedly I'd be straight out but like others have said, everyone deal's with grief in different ways and nobody has the right to judge him for it. I can actually see the benefits in a way - being in there would surely in some respects take your mind off of it, maybe that's why he's chosen to stay?

Regardless, he's entitled to do as he wishes and I don't think it's anybody else's place to comment on that especially at such a sad time for him.

The sickest thing about that article is how it has an evidently serious tone and they decide to revert at the end to:

'HOUSEMATES got a scary I’m A Celebrity-style task yesterday.

They had to stick their hand into a sealed biscuit tin to grab a treat.

And they were warned ‘‘another surprise’’ awaited them.

Among the surprises were chickens’ feet, jelly worms and slime.'

What the ****? Sums that paper up.

Was about to say that. You'd think considering the show and that paper are ran by the same *****s - they'd have some consideration towards the housemates they're writing about, obviously not though.

Really well put Jack, I agree totally with you.

Of course we have the right to judge, that's what BB and these forums are all about. Judging people's personalities, reactions to situations etc. If you don't wanna be judged by all and sundry on national TV, you don't enter the BB house in the first place.

Well said once your on tv your entitled to a view on that person. I think its wrong he's staying but i'm not Scott so its his decision.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Thats horrendous
I could never go back into the house if I was in that position.

Well personally, I judge them as housemates. Depending on how entertaining they are, how they behave in the house, how they treat the other HM's etc. Their personal life doesn't really come into it. Their personalities do. Unless they had done something absolutely dispicable, like murder, but I don't think we've got that far yet...

Judging actions that occur in the house, on our screens, things we actually see, not judging people for personal responses to things that are nothing to do with the show, and where the circumstances are unknown to us

We have the right to judge HM's on their interactions with each other, during tasks etc in the house. A death in the family is personal and outside the realms of our judgement.

I concur. Their personal life bares no relevance to their worth as a housemate and as such I don't think it's anybody's place to discuss it.

[psychtracker]

In general response to those comments how you don't judge HMs from outside events etc, only what occurs inside the house. Well, it's all intertwined with them being there in the present, and the general makeup of their personality etc. and basically impossible to fully differentiate. If housemate X tells a story about something that happened to them outside the house, you form opinions about their personality from the story they've retold etc.

Now you're judging the rest of us... I can categorically state that Scott's decision to return to the house and remain there for however long he sees fit, or until the time he is evicted, will not affect my view of him in any shape or form. It's irrelevant to me. (I don't mean that in a callous way).

So, if in the next few days, if he talks about his sister, and how close he is to her or something (as an example). You will not form any opinions regarding his decision. I'm not saying he will, for all we know it may never be discussed by him, and that's fine.

As I said earlier, unless he said something which I found truly dispicable or abhorrent, then no.

Ok, that's fine...you're entitled to your thoughts. I personally find it pretty much impossible to think that viewers can completely detach their thoughts in that way. The only solution i could see, would be...if Scott mentions his sister, that you turn off your TV or something...

Not really. I just don't find myself having to form an opinion about everything. Same way as I don't have an opinion on Benedict doing porn for a living or Luke A being transgender, for instance. It does not affect me. It's their life. As long as they are not hurting anyone, why should I judge someone for their decisions?

You are right, in a way. What we can do though is decide we can't judge a situation we know absolutely nothing about and which Scott has declined to speak of. If he went back into the house just to get everyone's sympathy and attention and that was obvious then it would be hard for a viewer to detach themselves from that. But that is clearly not the case.
