I think the way Channel 5 have handled the whole thing has pretty pathetic to be honest.
But you have to understand the views of a minority section of the audience that turn up for eviction shows do not reflect the majority of the viewing audience or voting public if this was the case Evander would not have been in the bottom 2 and in the bottom of all the opinion polls bar one, his betting odds also took a tumble midweek also remember.
As I`ve mentioned before society has been ingrained with misogyny and homophobia for a very, very long time which originates from religion and yes patriarchy of the past and although we`ve moved on largely from religion as a society there are remnants that still stick and shape how we view genders and sexualities which is why things like homophobia and rape and domestic abuse of women still exist in the first place, Men weren`t originally sexist nor where they homophobic either and a lot of them do it out of habit because they`ve adopted those attitudes from the culture around them nothing else.
