Yes, but you over exaggerated by saying it needed to be done or they'd run out of women. That's ridiculous insinuating that the voters want women out because they're women.

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

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!

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.

As do the guys.

Steven crying over being nominated a classic example and Ash and Winston throwing tantrums thinking how dare they be nominated was just uncomfortable to watch.

Yeh me to, Michelles reaction to being constantly nominated in BB5 was awesome.

Just talking about the power and is it discrimination, females are usually seen as the weaker gender (I don't know why) but this year the boys are just pussys and the girls are ruling that house and deservedly so.

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

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.

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
