So many threads and comments tonight saying "Toya is back in the game", "I love Toya!", "best Big Brother episode yet". This honestly makes me quite sad that there is so many people out there who find arguments, bullying, arrogance, conflict, upsetting people and anger entertaining. This is REALLY what you watch this show for?
I know this argument has been made countless times, but the attitude that conflict, fighting and arguments is the entertaining part of BB aware just getting stronger and more common.
I harm back to housemates like Pete Bennett. Like Craig from BB1. Like Johnnny the fireman or Glynn from BB7. People who were just up for a laugh, were witty, had fun and enjoyed themselves. That's what I find entertaining.
It's no wonder the viewer numbers are falling, because the fight-fans seem more vocal about it, so the producers are manufacturing volatile housemate combinations and situations so that people will argue.
To nights episode want one of the "best ever". It was uncomfortable to watch and also very disappointing to know people like that are celebrated.
I don't want to insult any of you guys personally, I just think that if that's what you find entertaining, that's what you like to watch to get your kicks, it's pretty disturbing, really. It makes me so sad for humanity that this is the preferred form of entertainment for so many people.
Please tell me I'm not alone in thinking this way.

I'm just a big soft puppy underneath all this bluster
However with Ch5 we no longer have what you could call 'Big Brother'.
It's so distorted from the original concept, that they might as well call it 'This used to be Big Brother"
The whole thing is scripted imo..............not that Ch5 would ever admit to that unless exposed.
But the problem is, no serious journalist even cares about ever exposing them.
That's what I used to think, we had live feed and we could argue the edits. But, in reality, this is exactly what big brother is about, Big brother is in charge.
I agree with your viewpoint, I hate all the fights. Toya's behaviour tonight was really extremely annoying and upsetting. She really is a revolting person, and episodes like this are not in my opinion entertaining. I don't want my entertainment to make me feel angry. It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I think most FMs are of the same opinion, but those that want her to remain because she fights, are a bit suspect. She's an arrogant control-freak, who's always right, whenever she shouts
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
I do wish Toya was a little bit less of a horror, but she's not, so it's bye bye.
The girl needs anger management and to stop sounding like a walking sound bite machine and listen. I mean you cant yell at someone with your arms flailing, that THEY need to calm down..that was moronic.
Anyway she was all primed to kick off thats her play and ironically a good exit stratedy
I totally agree. If you want this nonsense go watch Housewives of Atlanta. The people that like this arguing crap are probably raised in households like that and behave just like them. So, to the commenter after yours, sorry sweetie.
Toya is a bit deluded and loves the pretend - but
She did throw a shake-up right into the middle of the untouchable Winston: it was a noble fight for the last word and Winston won.
The last word spoken by Winston? - "Yup"
Go Toya!
oh dear, i really am on the fence
my nice side and horrible side are in conflict
however I do want any awful ones cast out with ignominy.
I like a good mixture of fun and arguments. But it does seem like these days only the volatile HM's are labelled as great HM's.
If you are nice and just want to have a bit of fun they get called boring which is completely wrong in my opinion.
as long as Chris is safe , i am happy each week.
Jale , Chris , Christopher are the most popular ones on the fave HM poll on here & none of them get involved in the fighting.
So not everyone likes people who just fight & moan in the house. Quieter ones are liked also. The most if anything.
Some people do change after 1 ep. It will take more than that for me to switch.
The others especially, Ash and his gang comment, revealed just how complacent their egos are. All that time Jale who is nominated every week was quietly roaming around in the background totally bemused by it all.
Normally I hate the arguing but this time I found it entertaining. Sorry but I did.

Because 'it's only a gameshow' it is necessary to have odious, loud, egotistical sorts in the mix for as long as possible - if only to savour their plummet from their pedestals. The longer they survive, the higher the pedestal, the more satisfying the splat
I find the rabid fanboyism amusing. My current favourite is Chris, but not to such a degree whereby I would feel oppressed if even the entire forum hated him.
That might yet change.
Jonny and Pete were self-entitled tossers.
BB was at its absolute worst when it aired their puerile antics and pathetic whining. Pete moaning about Aisleyne's speech is possibly my most hated moment in BB history and Jonny is still a Bottom 5 housemate of all-time.
Arguments happen all over the place, at home with a partner, with a teenager, a couple in a pub, etc if someone filmed you and you looked back at yourself, you might be shocked, as when passion takes over and you think your right at the moment in time, then of course your personality changes a bit.
I am glad Toya defended herself against three others. Her vocabulary might not have been perfect but in the heat of the moment, most people's are not. What she said about them was partly true. She also managed to bring out their true personalities. So to me its 50/50.
I am glad someone has stood up to that group, it could of been anyone and I would of been happy, it just happens to of been Toya.
I think all the main protagonists of the argument are ***** anyway, so I am quite happy to see them hang themselves ASAP
