Loath as I am to lend credence to anything that slithers out of Arron's mouth, I was a bit intrigued by his mention of Shiv having a root canal while on the show. Assuming that's true, it's something that would've been going on longer than just the past week for him to know about it. It's also something pretty significant in determining whether someone's behavior is appropriate. What interested me more is while Arron brought it up, she never mentioned it herself.

If this actually did happen, and it's not some desperate grab at attention/controversy by Arron, shouldn't BB disclose it, even if it's just a voice over in passing? Especially if she was on painkillers that altered her in a way that she wouldn't normally behave?

Then there's the whole issue of Graham being called in for her. In either situation (or any similar one for any other HM), shouldn't they be obligated to mention it if it has the potential to alter the behavior of someone people are paying money to vote for?

People might have been more sympathetic towards her if they knew she was having root canal treatment. I don't know whether BB should disclose it though I think it's up to the HM.

load of rubbish....ive been on pain killers for years and its never changed my personality! she was what she was,

If she did have a root canal? it didn't stop her from using her mouth...or slow her down.

The public should be informed if a housemate receives any behaviour-changing medical treatment.

I think the public should know, it makes me feel like they hide so much from the audience and this is why they dont want live feed, in order to control information without being contested by the audience. On the other hand, Ive had 3 root canals and I never became aggressive and bitchy while on painkillers. This doesnt excuse her behavior, she was being herself.

IF she had root canal treatment, the last thing she'd be doing is flapping her gums.

Im having root canal treatment at the mo.....and Im not a raving loon (honestly)

We used to just call them fillings over here. Yes, it is a filling that goes down into the root of the tooth but it's a filling none the less.

I was just using the comparison to have a cheap dig at Americans

Sorry to hear about the nasty dentistry!
I had an Abscess in my tooth when i was a kid and it was bloody horrendous

I have no idea, and nor do any of you, what the truth is.
What I do know is that I would not rely on Arron to supply any serious information about anything.
