Well I agree that I wish Big Brother was less about conflict. But I don't think getting Ofcom involved will bring back the good old days, more likely just get it cancelled.

Part of the reason people complain, rather than just switch off, is simply that they don't like the housemate[s] involved and want rid of them, it's as much about complaining to a higher authority about the housemate as it is about Channel 4. There's kind of a 'villain of the week' situation in Big Brother now where one person gets over-the-toply hated until he or she is evicted, then someone else takes over.

Very true. I'd not want them to cancel BB.. sure no one here would either.

People just see red... Dont like it then dont watch! Any real bullying then i'm sure bb will deal with it, dont need viewers or ofcom to police the show.
The anti-darnell has been building for weeks and many are milking this due to their dislike of darnell. In the past housemates have used the word "slut" and there was no uproar to remove that housemate... If anything this is just about people disliking darnell anyway.

Dale has said many vile things in the past... But this is about the darnell haters that are milking this just because they hate darnell. Bex was vile to mo but to the anti-darnell/anti b-block members it was funny. People calling mo names is funny to them.. Double standards and it stinks of it!

[ruination]

I'm so disappointed in Darnell. I used to really like him.

He's clearly got problems ... not his fault ... but the bb screeners should have seen that.

[Rory]

Darnell's insane, paranoid, and flat out annoying.

[ruination]

'Flat out' lol. Gosh I love you, Rory, you are so american.

[NettoSuperstar!]

It is sexual harrassment and bullying, Mo and Darnell treat her like dirt and should be warned by BB. So what if she flirts thats no excuse to treat anyone like that. Also if that was a man doing the same thing oh he' be a player, he' be the man!! double bloody standards!

[BBkid]

I think he should get a warning at least.

[dcp42]

Mo, Rex and Darnell should all be removed from the house asap - there is no way that any of them deserve to win now - how dare they treat a woman in such a disrespectful manner? Offering booze and fags for kisses, name calling and the rest - I switched off I was so disgusted and I will be complaining to Ofcom. Jade Goody and co got into massive trouble for the treatment of Shilpa so why should these morons get away with this kind of behaviour?

[doranbilly]

why is darnell getting away with it .i think rex realized they had gone to far

[mariafairy]

Sorry big brother but this went way over the top! This is bullying, do you really see the difference between Alexandra's behaviour and this? This is actually awful and really hard to watch. It is ok to assume that Sara was fine & call her in to the diary room BUT, for you to also watch and do absolutely nothing about it was the biggest disappointment of all. I'd love to go in there for one day to stick up for her as nobody else seems to be. I think next time, you should put someone in there yes with a big mouth but a mouth that can shout down the bullies and tell them how low they are. From patronising and spoilt selfish Nicole to, innocent & righteous Rachel who sits and watches it happen, nothing is being done. Furthermore and in relation to Sara, joking or not, it is psychological bullying and to the Mr capital P Darnell whom i thought was in support of anti-bulling, has now stepped in the bullies shoes so easily, around of a applause Darnell (there goes your record contract). You have 3 full grown lads' surrounding a vulnerable girl, calling her UGLY, calling her a slut and pounding into her emotions which is sometimes what kills a person's confidence and you GUYS did nothing! I really hope that you do warn them about this because it is sick! She is beautiful & fresh and ok might like to flirt a little with the guys but so what, she's single and it isn't Mr P's or anybody else’s business for that matter. It is ok for Mr P to go from Bex to Sara but oh no, nobody sneers upon him as he is, untouchable, a man and Darnell right? One more thing, this has also questioned my thoughts about everyone in that house who watched this happen, watched her sob her heart out . So i sum this up, nobody who causes this to happen or watches this happen is a deserving BB winner in my eyes. If anyone, Lisa handled it the best, at least she stuck up for Sara and yorn, yorn and yorn, all Kat could go on about (even when Sara was upset) was herself! See my point? Lisa to win, let her have the money guys for her wedding, the only one not acting!

[mariafairy]

yes Rex did realise he went to far but was trying to be cool and caring at the same time but when stuff like this happens, you swollow your pride and stop bulling, there is enough of it happening in the world!

[mariafairy]

Actually when stuart and dale threatened Mo i did react the same way. I never promote bulling. Ok, so what if someones good looking, all that goes out the window if it was your sister they were doing it to, its the last thing on your mind, see where i am coming from?

[ruination]

mary fairy ... what can I say.

I agree with you, and I think you should subtly change your name to mary fairy.

I agree

[retrovans]

What I find disgusting is the way that the others are condoning this bulling behaviour. Especially the likes of Rex, who laughed at it and almost egged Darnell on.

Can you imagine if Darnell had said this sort of stuff to Nicole? Would Rex be laughing then?

Filthy behaviour. Get them out.

[mariafairy]

oh come on andy man, i really loved Darnell at the beginning, i thought he was sweet and the one guy who went against everyones views about "the spitting in the face" incident but all of a sudden, his personality has changed over night. I actually enjoy a little bit of enterainment but not watching what could be your sister being treated that way andyman. I respect your opinion though like i know we are still all glued and have a choice to watch it or not but you have to admit that, watching that was uncomfertable to watch and at least a warning should have been given.

[mariafairy]

lol to ruination lol mary fairy! oh i wouldn't be mary fairy if i was in that house arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to the lads! where are the gents this year?

[mariafairy]

thanks jackie 46!! :-)

[mariafairy]

i agree retrovans!

[ruination]

gents?

Stuart was a gent, don't you think?

[Sunny_01]

I really didnt like the way that Darnell behaved last night, however Sara was asked by BB how she felt as they were perpared to intervene should she want support. The important thing to remember is they are all adults and should be allowed to handle things in whichever way they seet fit. I would not appreciate someone getting involved in something I was handling on my own. Sara wants to handle this so BB should do as they are doing and offer her support when she needs it but not interfere.
