I'm pretty happy for housemates to have opinions unless those opinions become unacceptable, just because Biggins is gay, he is not exempt from making criticisms of bi-sexuals, especailly as he probalby has no real facts to back it up.

Well in that case the BB house should be nearly empty, you can't discuss, challenge someones views if they are silenced or removed from the airwaves...this isn't healthy.

I agree.

Maybe they should get a set of real celebrities who have intellect and can discuss many topics without straying into inflammatory territory instead of the losers they always get because the owner (Desmond) knows that he can get continual mileage from the contracted zelebs in his magazines.

Should also be noted that he owns porn channels - speaks volumes,.

My thinking on the Biggins thing is that he must've been warned and warned again... he was a regular on BotS, so you'd think he'd be their darling.   They didn't kick him out for nothing, or on the whim of an  X factor reject.

No wonder we never have intellectual conversations even though he was saying a lot of shite it is better than watching the squad exchange saliva.

That's what bugs me too,  kissing the nomminee's  butt after they've been nomminated by the person kissing their butt.

No wonder they keep pushing the Porn agenda. Everyone knows where to look to find it why do they think we want to watch BB for it?

I'm all in favour of that, but Biggins was having an intellectual discussion, he just said things that some "may" find offensive, but would it have killed them if he had stayed? would anyone have been so disgusted that he wasn't removed just because he held those views?  I don't think so.

James might say something people don't like next, should he go too?  anyone who is intelligent and has an opinion ( of left field) need not apply for BB then.

Sorry , but that is pathetic !

Absolute bullcrap. i thought it was much more serious. I said it he should never have done this show. wow. What a mess.

More serious than blaming a whole section of society for Aids?

It was a terrible comment I agree, he should not have made those terrible comments but he should have been given a final warning.

From what they said to him though - he's obviously had more than one warning.   What I find scary is that he still found it perfectly acceptable to spout his crap after he'd been told more than once about it.

I thought it was 3 strikes and then gone? I agree his comments were terrible but it was a harsh way to deal with it. Bear who has been absolutely vile is still there.

[I'm in the process of catching up on tonight's episode, and am working through this thread as I do so.]

AFAIK, and contrary to a commonly-held belief amongst BB fans, BB hasn't operated a "3-strikes" rule for many years.

They brought the "3-strikes" rule in for BB3, but never had any cause to invoke it, and as a result they didn't bother about it for BB5. As it turned out that was fortuitous, because if it had been in place for that series then more than half the house (including the eventual winner, Nadia) would have been removed! It's often said that Kitten was removed for "3-strikes", but officially  she was removed for "persistent" rule-breaking (basically, her rule breaks were dominating the first week).

Part of the reason for getting rid of the 3-strikes rule was that it wasn't flexible enough: if a HM did something really bad, then technically BB couldn't evict them until they committed another 2 similar offences. A good example of the replacement system in practise (again from BB5) was Michelle getting her "first and final" warning for instigating the camera-burning incident. We've seen echoes of that in this series, with Aubrey being given a "formal and final warning" for the spitting incident.

As for Biggins: I may come back to this, but the problem we have as viewers is that we don't know the full story about his "Nazi" comments towards Katie and their repercussions. This incident apparently happened on Monday, but we're only officially hearing about it now, and only in very vague terms. It's quite possible that he was issued with a "final" warning earlier in the week, but we simply don't know for sure.

considering what Bear has done -agree - Bear is an utter moron

Bear is a complete moron, but that's not an chucking out offence or the house would empty pretty quick.

 

I feel Biggins has probably had a lot more to say that we've not been privy too.

It is indeed increasingly looking like there's a lot more to this than we've been told.

During the DR discussion BB referred to comments Biggins made to Katie on Monday, but didn't go into details.

On Friday, DS went into near meltdown when a regular DS FM known for inside knowledge and "scoops" posted an alleged transcript of these comments, in which Biggins supposedly made inadvized remarks about the Nazis and concentration camps, which he then tried to pass off as a "joke" when Katie (who's Jewish) got upset.

BB have since claimed that the transcript was a fake:

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/enter...&ocid=spartanntp

However: since leaving the house, Biggins has done tabloid interviews which suggest that the transcript - if perhaps not entirely accurate - wasn't far off after all, and there may even have been other comments we don't yet know about:
