If the connor/Deana thing becomes a massive thing, with complaints about whether it should have been shown/whether he should have been evicted, they just won't show these things happening. We won't get to see how horrible some of them are and just be bombarded with the boring couples constantly.

Then people will stop watching.

Yeah I rather have the Producers show us and let us judge for ourselves rather than scaring them into hiding everything.

Don't people remember that all this over-reaction and complaining is what hurt the show in the first place? This is how we lost the live feeds.

Even after Big Brother got very strict with bullying, the fans turned around and complained how Big Brother would quickly intervene and end arguments, especially during Big Brother 10. If you want drama, people are not always going to be politically correct.

I agree completely. Last nights episode made my blood boil, but that's what good television should do.

Agreed, the moral outrage on here is way OTT. It was an inappropiate set of comments, but the warning was sufficient. I know he'll go now, though-the PC brigade always win in the end these days, sadly.

And then no-one will watch and Big Brother will die. And frankly with the last few days in the house it would be a blessing.

[NorthernPenguin]

I agree however that sort of treatment is unacceptable.

Why would they stop watching because something that they didn't know has happened wasn't aired?

Burying your head in the sand is just as bad...

Sufficient punishment should have been removal as he has been behaving in this way alot but it has not been shown.

Because nothing would happen at all.

If they are going to allow that sort of thing to happen them maybe it is time for BB to die

Perhaps they could've warned him about ejection from the house if it happened again, but I disagree, it was sufficient. What a pack of blood-thirsty people you all are on here-a bit like most of the housemates at the moment.

[moominreggie]

What a strange viewpoint!

You would sooner see unacceptable behaviour incase they spoil your fun and dont show it.

Then you must like and condone this behaviour.

I'm sorry but his little rap goes far beyond the 'pc brigade' kicking up a storm in a teacup.
His words were absolutely disgraceful and should not be taken lightly.

.

There is a difference though. He threatened Deana. He is a physical threat in the house. *IF* this happened out of the house, he would have been arrested. Something needs to be done about it.

It was a slap on the wrist for a serious threat. NOT sufficient.
Of course I'm not demanding a lynching either. But the warning clearly had little effect on Conor. AND people have been thrown out of BB for less. Shoving him out the backdoor is the ideal decision. That way it's more then a slap (He loses the chance to win the money) but also means he gets no more attention and avoids the public via the front door.

Absolutely. He should have been out of the house through the other diary room door. Perhaps then the unacceptability of his aggressive tirade would be made clear to others in the house - and in the outside world. It was NOT a trivial matter to be dealt with by a trivial 'slap on the wrist.'

Exactly.

If enough people complain, they'll listen. They're not in the business of losing viewers. Although you'd never guess, BB is extremely important to C5, and it's the be all and end all to Endemol. This is why they've banned noms talk. It was obvious that they wanted a show on the lines of BB USA, but the majority of UK viewers wouldn't countenance it.
If, after recieving substantial complaints, Endemol play stubborn and don't listen, the chances are that C5 and/or the sponsors will force them to. Don't under-estimate people power.

[James Frederick]

The fact Coner wasn't even sorry and in fact seemed more annoyed that BB had dared to call him in over it says it all.

TBH if anything at all when they read it out to him you could see all he was thinking was "If they air that I'm screwed" and even then I bet he thinks it's Deana's fault for making him say it

A selfish sentiment, also disturbing in that it pleads for the right to see horrible people do horrible things to the marginally less horrible, but more vulnerable, housemates

It is more important to see justice being done and to have the conduct of brainless bulks of brawn a la the common male slapper, Conor, and his barely human acolytes censured.
These are sick, dysfunctional people taking part in an increasingly distasteful, unwatchable show financed by the pornographers that publish the Daily Star, the printed toilet sheets with newspaper pretensions.

[gcmac]

I don't think people should be complaining about what Conor was shown to have said, but instead about the lack of punishment from Big Brother. I don't mind being shown things like last night, although it's not nice to watch it shows us more about the personalities of the housemates, which is what we are judging them on. I do think he should have been punished more severely, or at least given an official warning. I think if he does it again he should be removed from the house, and hopefully now there have been many people complaining Channel 5 will not hesitate to remove him if his behaviour is repeated.

Watiching grass grow is more edifying than the antics of the halfwits in the BB house.

[Star_Bright]

Complaints to Ofcom is what messed the show up in the first place.

[MistyBlueEyes]

Then BB should act on things like this straight away and nip it in the bud with a suitable punishment ....instead of giving a warning ... then we wouldnt have to complain because justice would of been done ....
