It's something he cannot change & a personal insult.
Double standards

I completely agree.

[ThriceShy]

So Audley isn't allowed to nominate someone he has known for 20 years due to his discomfort with their new gender.......but 9 housemates are allowed to "brutally" (in Dee's words) nominate a 70 year old disabled man for things that are a result of his disability.

True! Anyone who nommed Gary for having to repeat themselves needs a warning if Audley needed one. Ridiculous.

[LukeB]

dee should get a warning to, her nomination was silly! channel 4 would never accept this

[warrenhill]

Audley is the only house mate to know Frank before the show so of course he would feel a little awkward around her now...

[Jake.]

I don't find his reasonings bad at all, fair play.. The bath comment just wasn't needed though, could have kept that to himself

[LeatherTrumpet]

more pandering to sexuality

That's one major flaw with the present format of BB.


Housemates are not allowed to be candid as they know that BB will use it against them at some point in the future. What we are seeing is a watered down version of events and happenings.

Exactly, political correctness gone mad. Completely ridiculous

[JoshBB]

That wasn't discriminative or anything though, he said himself he is trying to adjust to it.

[Dollface]

This is just ridiculous. If Audley gets a warning for this, surely Dee deserves a warning aswell? Her nomination of George was just as personal

[poppsywoppsy]

I say let Kellie play up to her poor me stance because it is the quickest way to get rid of her.

As for Audley, the sympathy has reversed for him, he is the one wronged. Apart from Gary, Audley is my winner.

If his nom was allowed, then he should not be warned, Madness.

lmao this is what I was thinking tbh

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I personally think BB should have given Dee a warning over the reasons she nominated George. Whilst she was butching up to having a male voice, there was a sense of ridicule about the way she spoke of George's high pitched voice. At least Audley was valid in his nomination of Kellie and he spoke truthfully but the PC brigade decided otherwise. Audley knows Kellie better than anyone else in that house and I admire his honesty. After all she is going to, most likely at times, come up against a lot worst comments.

Yes, we at the BB ( Brotherhood of Bats ) take great exception to Dee's reason, her dislike for George's squeaky voice.

[Mystic Mock]

How come Dee hasn't got into trouble for her reason to nominate George? At least Audley had a proper reason that a lot of people do struggle to come to terms with.

[Robodog]

Agree with pretty much every post on this thread, loads of good points.

The warning is total BS. Glad my fellow BB viewers can all see it, even if BB themselves cannot.

Yeah this seems like one of the first topics we've all agreed on! go team

[minty3]

I understand big brother had to do it but I don't think he ment it how some will have taken it

So most of the group can treat Gary like **** but Audley get's warned for this ?.
It's a mad world

maybe BB did it to put something in the show/get people rustled up?

[warrenhill]

Audley's reasons are his own and cant be questioned...

As for mocking a disability then the rest are doing that to Gary about his hearing..

It's human nature that any major change around us takes an adjustment period. When we get to know someone, we eventually attach an "identity" to that person. We get used to seeing them a certain way, interacting with them in a certain way. If someone you know, and have known for a long time, was a man for decades, and is suddenly asking you to accept them as a woman... it takes a time to adjust. It's definitely not like a light switch. I felt that Audley adequately explained his reasoning... but evidently BB producers didn't think so.

I guess they're too worried about offending the public (people changing the channel is what they're really worried about). In this case, though, I think they got it wrong.

I agree! I think Audley was very PC and not offensive at all with how he dealt with the situation. Maloney is over-sensitive and bloody annoying. If I was in his shoes, and had worked with a man for 20/30 years, who I then met in BB as a woman (but hadn't even began surgery..) I wouldn't want them in my bath. and I am openminded but like you say, everyone needs time to adjust. Warning was uncalled for.

BB need to grow what Kellie no longer wants and man up. CH5 are making a mockery of the program and the HM's are now making a mockery of BB with their whinging and insistence that they be shielded from mockery.

Poor Kellie my arse, she is conning her way into the final with the poor me's and BB jump every time she calls foul.

This for me.The warnings from channel 5 are an absolute joke.
They give absolute baseless unwarranted warnings out that should'nt be given that surpress people being honest and speaking freely and they ignore things that do deserve a warning and give housemates outside contact.C5 have destroyed BB!
