That was a.bloody waste. BB should have snooped harder on her twitter.

[JerseyWins]

Meh

I do hope she at least does something kinda interesting on the show before she gets taken out

[T*]

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am embarrassed by the twats in charge of this mess

[Calderyon]

This is silly tbh.

[pontyboi]

Pfft! Yawn.

Not here for pc BB if they are that bad let them dig their own grave like Roxanne did.

[BENDERBOY]

Kinda glad, she looked like a screamer.

[JoshBB]

Obviously the vetting was not done properly. This was exposed on here last night and probably prompted them to look into it. They obviously found evidence they 'overlooked'...unprofessional but they had to act. They had to give her the boot to ensure their wasn't any racist comments. It's reported some were made recently..the girl is young and niave..BB could not risk it.

[LemonJam]

I mean obviously she is a bit of a dickhead, but I don't really understand what ejecting her actually accomplishes? The damage is already done and it just looks really messy on productions part.

All that private information given away for free!


It's what soviet russia and nazi germany would have DREAMED about...

Yeah. Though from what we knew at the time, it was all experimental when it had just came out (social), so we didn't know how it would really change the way we would interact. In reality, it's a data-mining scheme for companies/organizations to "profit" off personal information. The actual "high" that it ellicits is based on faux interactions which reinforce tunnel-vision, which is extremely damaging imo. It always left me feeling scummy. Twitter particularly is very much a stalking tool, which is fine for brands, not so great for facilitating healthy interactions/relationships. People need a way to create/define barriers. Regardless, it's not made me feel more connected to not a single person and I hated every minute of it, how empty the interactions felt.

There's all the studies now that show it too, the bad effects. It messes with our brain chemistry and creates dependence on that dopamine "high"... except we need boredom to facilitate creativity, to force the mind to think out of the box for its solutions, to be more innovative, to come up with new ideas... not just copy-cat our lives & interactions from things we "study" on Instagram/FB... which is really the only "skill" it gives us is to pander to others, emulate them and squeeze out as much as we can from those relationships... it's like lemonade, except the people we're vamping from have very little nutritional value, as they're likely there for the same reason as them (vamping)... so not only is like blood from a turnip, but what we do get is very low in actual "nutritional" value (i.e. it blows)...

I much prefer a forum or a more "intimate" experience where it's smaller numbers... but even those smaller sites are starting to inherit some of the problems, are becoming more like social... where the more obscene/loud/obnoxious that person is, the more "popular" they'll be treated... the nice thing about forums at least are they are such a high time investment, and require so much energy to maintian, that it does tend to be the more "dedicated" folk who post on them... most people anyway who aren't just sh**posters... but there's a lot of that too on any site.

Oh, and I miss when modding used to be a thing. Heh. Now if people happen to disagree with a moderation decision, they're automatically labeled as Nazis and it might as well be another chapter of 1984...

Another GREAT post, Maru.

[Withano]

Genuinely lol’s when I saw the title. I hope they replace her with somebody relatively old.

[iRyan]

I just hope her replacement is good. Obviously what she said is awful but it happened when she was an ignorant child. Could’ve been a good housemate but whatev

[Alf]

I hear it was her birthday yesterday too.

do you think BB had a birthday party for her and threw her out before it started?

I guess we may find out in tonight's longer
90mins 10PM show
or on monady's 10PM show

[Eddie.]

Is this even faster than Tila's ejection?

Hope we get a good replacement housemate...

[Garfie]

I can't believe how many people seem to make such stupid comments on social media with no thought to the consequences....as far as I'm concerned, if you put such stuff out there for anyone to read, you have to expect to be judged on it.

Anyhow, I don't think Ellis is any loss- she had already started to become irritating to me so I'm glad she's gone. I hope they replace her with someone more interesting.

OMG !! I've just realised this use to be Rodrigo BB10 ! , it was a hoax she didn't die .
She listed a video saying so .

How ironic that her old name was "Rodrigo" .
