Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER.

We are sorry to hear that you found the housemate's comments and actions
towards Halfwit offensive.

Big Brother has spoken to Freddie, a number of times, following his
arguments with a various housemates. As was shown in last night's
highlights show, Freddie took the decision himself to tackle Karly and Lisa
head on about some of their recent disagreements. Following his discussions
with Karly and Lisa, Big Brother spoke to Freddie in the Diary Room, where
Freddie said that he had had a good day and was pleased that he had spoken
to them. Freddie also talked to Siavash and Marcus throughout the day about
his relationships with other housemates and he continues to do so. Big
Brother also talked to both Karly and Lisa about their disagreements with
Freddie and will continue to monitor the situation.?

As you know, BIG BROTHER is not a scripted drama, but a reality programme
and one of the consequences of reality television is that at times
participants in the programme will express opinions or react in a way which
a viewer may disagree with or find upsetting. It is important that within
the context and structure of the programme that housemates have the right to
express themselves without censure as long as they do not contravene the BIG
BROTHER rules.

We do appreciate that some viewers will find certain comments or actions
unacceptable and we will always look at the context and the justification in
screening certain scenes or conversations in line with the Ofcom
regulations. We take our responsibility to our audience very seriously and
if a housemate, expressed views which were clearly in breach of the rules of
BIG BROTHER, then appropriate action would be taken.

I can assure you that any decision regarding the housemates is not taken
lightly and the production team are constantly reviewing the on-going
situation in the house as the primary concern of both Channel 4 and the BIG
BROTHER producers, is the welfare of the housemates.

We would like to assure you also that your concerns have been logged for the
attention of the programme makers.




No wonder Lisa's playing nice now......

[bigbrothermaniac008]

basically there ignoring your complaint..

[Caramel77]

Yup pretty much!

[28thapril]

are you not surprised

[MargeryFan]

I think that was a fair responce

[officialleafan]

No they're not ignoring your complaint. What do you want them to do about it? Freddie has not admitted that he feels bullied, they did call Freddie, Lisa and Karly into the diary room last night to talk to them about it.

As they said, it is a reality programme and not everyone will get along...

Not forgetting that it will help the viewers/voting who should or should not win.

the lisa group shows how far they ll go for money.

....and they do know what they are doing as Charlie said I would leave and kris piped in, so would I which proves they are g... up.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I thought BB response was very valid and made a lot of sense. It would be different if Freddie had broken down as a result of the hostility toward him from Lisa and Karly and Kris. But BB could see that Freddie was able to stand up for himself and therefore, didn't deem that he was been bullied. For once, I agree with BB on this one.

Freddie is handling himself and them very well at the moment

[Miss-red]

even though last night was not comfortable to watch i think there response was fair enough. freddie isn't complaining so what can they do? nothing. unless it obviously gets worse of course but at this time if freddie says its ok he's handling it then i say lets respect that

[yousoboo!]

I AGEE WITH BB

[GeorgeOrwell]

Why would you complain about what happeend?

[Patrick]

Got the same reply Lol

[Half-Past-Sree]

[MR.K!]

Too right.
#No offense but what were you trying to achieve!? That is the crappest reason to complain about i have EVER heard. Basicly you dont like Lisa and Karly so you complain to the programme!?
Get a grip of your life, its just a tv show.

[brisbanebroncos]

LOL, you complained? I suggest you take up a hobby, other than complaint letters. Cricket Maybe? Croquet maybe? Crochet Maybe? Crow Feeding Maybe?

[Rob]

some people have no lives

[jtalh2003]

i support freddie but i would never feel the need to complain i dont get why you would do that?
its not even a real situation he can leave at any time
in a real life situation then yes i would feel the need to do something but not for a tv show where some one chooses to be there and can leave if he so wishes

Let's face it, if we had lives of our own we wouldn't be on this forum.

Making an official complaint to C4 is probably far more productive than commenting on someone else's complaint to C4 on this forum.

I believe that you, the poster and myself all have too much time on our hands.

[Niamh.]

Freddie is handling things ok on his own in my opinion

Not that I have to justify myself to you, but at the moment I've LOADS of time on my hands!!! I can do what I want with it, free country and all that. You're obviously not too busy yourself......

[Beastie]

at the end of the day.. its how freddie reacts and how freddie feels! if he broke down and said he is being bullied then i can see why people would make complaints!

freddie is such a strong character! i think most people who would have been in his position would have broke down by now!

as charlie said.. if he was in freddies position.. he would have left the house!!

but i hope freddie remains strong and he always rises above to the mean beans!!

i hope big brother has sense though.. and when new housemates go in. i hope at least one will be a companion for freddie!!

what about a woman who is posh, intelligent and FULL OF LIFE!

Because its one of those viewers who donyt actually care for the show, and has nothing better to do with their lives.

I'm not going to sit and watch something that makes me uncomfortable and not say something about it. If that doesn't suit you I don't particularly care. There should be a limit to what entertainment is.
