I joined the C4 forum during the Shilpa Shetty Celeb one. Every single BB since then has had an element of vicious posting. I really can't see how this one is any different. Even when there is no BB on, there's the odd witch hunt with FMs being singled out (photoshopped pics, piss taking threads, yada yada yada). May be everyone has got a little sensitive all of a sudden.

Cheers

I think Josie is a very pretty girl, and she has fabulous coloured eyes...tnot really much of a fan of her personality though...

Oh no!  

I've gone off Josie completely, but I've never commented on her weight. I know how difficult it is to lose weight and how low it makes you feel... being in that position once, I would never take the p*ss out of her figure. She really can look quite lovely, shame she hides herself in the duvet and just can't seem to be bothered to make an effort with anything at the moment.

I was watching video's of Josie before she went into the house yesterday and she looked great and healthy at about a size 12 to 14, I don't think its low self esteem thats she's put weight on but eating, laying in bed all day and being all round lazy that has piled the pounds on her..I could'nt give two farts if she's fat or thin but watching someone lazing and grazing all day is pretty boring....Plus she moaned about her weight and when Dave offered her to exercise with him, went off on one as though he's outright called her fat, which he did'nt he just guessed her dress size right....

I think Josie is pretty, cba with the posts about her weight because is it such a crime not to be stick thin?.


Enjoyed when Big Brother locked the bedroom yesterday and most of the housemates had a pool party  apart from Steve, Jo and Dave who were being party poopers then BB had to go and spoil it too.

I haven't seen anything even approaching the nastiness that's on DS on here, or that was on Ch4.

Me neither! I can remember being turned on several times for disagreeing with the likes of Flippy Flops (or whatever she was called). I honestly can't see the nastiness at the moment, I find a lot of what is said is tongue in cheek.

you have a point

Oh her of many, many names Yeah, Growly is a big fan (not)

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the 'sexiest fat guy' in the world had come in.

Actually I have been impressed by the lack of nastiness on here.
It has been much more comfortable and less nerve-wracking to post a viewpoint, even a slightly controversial one.
I think this place deserves great credit for its control and tolerance.
People have found a grown-up way of coping with their differences.
I am not suggesting there has not been the odd glitch, but we are well watched over, and by and large I am felt very comfortable this year.
As for Big Brother, we are here to judge them, we vote them out if we don't like them.
We enjoy criticising and moaning - all part of the fun.
But I think personal insults aimed at an individual poster have been remarkably few this year.
I am very pleased.

I'm still upset that Tubbs, the world's sexiest fat man didn't get his 15 minutes 

Tell them all to blow it out their backdoors, LGS



FWIW this is the fluffiest BB forum going.

WERD!

yo homie

Fo shizzle ma brizzle

We'd have acknowledged the fact that he is indeed fat, but would have debated the 'sexy' aspect, then given him a different nickname like 'lardarse' and people would have got upset about that etc etc

I did say that of one of the housemates, their birth hospital should be contacted to see if the placenta was still hanging around as it would have a better personality. It was probably Dave

Re Josie, she can't sit there moaning about her weight and then do bugger all but lounge around and graze like a goat. I think she's really insecure about it, but in all fairness she does nothing to try and help herself, she's really let herself go in terms of appearance, there's different ways she could dress that would help to balance things out for her.  Remember though, the tele can add up to 10lbs (or summat like that).

Saying all that though, she's not THAT big!

I've heard more moaning about weight from Corin, which I find quite worrying!

its crap on here at the moment!

The atmosphere is dead weird.  Not nasty, just...hormonal and a bit hysterical

Woo hormones!



I had them last week...

it is nasty sometimes Lecs...   

I think it might be me though....  in which case I am gonna prescribe myself some forum time out...

prepare to be spammed on FB with a resurrection of FB gaming posts!  

I'm finding it more "shrill" I think would be the word

I've had them for a bliddy week already I think that's why I went a bit looper last night

Sorry you feel that way Ditty but it`s not the same for me... I`m luvvin` it!

Awww Ditty wasupp?

DiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTTTs!1!



You have 3 options



1 - ignore the bollerx

2 - have a few days off

3 - have a meltdown moment and accuse everyone of treason



If you choose option 3 I will hold your hand and stroke your hair all the way through, cos I'm caring like that

I keep feeling like I'm gonna do that, I get started too but then realise and pull back (a bit)

Leshual, my darlin little bird...if you ever feel that way, I'll say sod it, in for a penny, and join you



You know shits going down if teh Leccy has a treason moment

hahaha!

its cos of the temptation to do that, that I am gonna go for option 2!

(ta for the stroking my hair offer...  thats true love that is! )

nothing that hasn't been said before Soops...  tis me!

I am just gonna have a bit of time off I think


ION - its thundering & Lightening like mad here!!!   I have the dog going mental, my son going all mario... and insisting all plug sockets are turned off (so my lappy is running on battery, and I have had to hide the router behind a cushion so he doesn't see that it is on)...  

I feel like rocking in the corner and humming really loudly

Hahahaha, awww ta

Ditty

I couldn't have put it better myself.  Josie is obviously a pretty girl, and has a lovely face, and frankly, is pretty at a size 12 or a size 18/20 which I would say she is now.  However, now the negatives; she has become a whiney mare, constantly fawning over John James like a lovesick puppy, and it's a bit pathetic and annoying.  John James clearly isn't totally into her; he loves her a mate, but is not physically attracted to her IMO.  If she was, he would have made it clear by now.  Whether it IS because she is a 'bigger' girl, and he feels reluctant to have a chubby lass, or whether he just downright doesn't feel anything other than close friendship for her, I don't know; but he isn't into her in a romantic way.  If he IS, then he is sure hiding it well.

In addition. Josie is now reminding me of Jo O'Meara from S Club 7, who was in CBB a few years back; lounging around in bed all day, doing f*ckall, scoffing and moaning, in her bloody dressing gown or with the quilt wrapped around her; how the eff could any man be attracted to that?!

Finally, re; the 'fat comments' thing...  Yes I agree that the comments are harsh, but it's just human nature.  People are judgemental; fact.  I am judgemental with people, and they are with me...and it's a fact of life that people judge fat people.  And people who ARE fat will be the most pissed off about it... like digs at single mothers are going to upset singles mothers more, but married mothers/childfree folk aren't going to care...and people on benefits are going to be upset at people on benefits being called scroungers, but people working aren't going to give a stuff.  Similarly fat people will be more upset at 'fat' comments...

I myself, actually was 5 stone overweight from the late 90s to the year before last, (and a size 22,) and all the time I was fat, many people judged me, and commented, and people who hadn't seen me for a few years commented on how big I had got...and I had strangers shouting 'fatty' out of car windows...

Then I spent a year (Nov 2008 to Nov 2009) losing 4 stone, (and have kept it off for 9 months,) and I am now a size 14...  Now all year, I have had people commenting how slim I look, and how it's made me look younger and much healthier, and I get whistled at by men, and get chatted up occasionally too: something that hasn't happened since I was last a size 14 in the early 1990s!  So you have to take the rough with the smooth in life; people do comment on peoples' appearances and always will.

I even find myself noticing obese, slovenly people a LOT more, since I lost my weight, and I have seen a number of people I know who are fatter than me now, and some of them are people who commented on my size over the years.  But I would never say anything to them; it's reward enough for me to see them getting bigger, and looking embarrassed and shameful when they see me slimmer.  Also, I don't mention anything about losing weight to anyone, as I don't want to be a diet bore...and they know I have lost weight when they see me.    I also think that very very very few people who are fat, have 'thyroid' problems, or any other health issue.  Most weight gain is down to over-eating, and not enough exercise, but many fat people deny it.  I know I used to.

So I know it's not nice for people to comment on Josie's size, but she has gotten lazy and slovenly, and is always stuffing her face as if food is going out of fashion, and people ARE going to comment and judge: that's life.  (unfortunately...)

I'm sure someone will accuse me of being pious, judgemental, full-of-myself or whatever (for mentioning my weight loss and saying I notice fat people and greediness more now,) but I'm just putting my honest views and aren't setting out to upset anyone or piss anyone off...

cockney-chick....what a fecking marvellous name!1!1

Thanks

I've had two people telling me that I've put on weight, recently.

I just thank goodness that they pointed it out to me.
I've been trying to figure out why those jeans don't do up on me, anymore, and now I have the answer! 

Don't you just love it when people say you've put weight on?   Cheeky buggers
