He's a legend in his career but not as a person. I can think of this reasons why he has gone:

1. He was boring. In a VTS, you need to deliver to stay in.
2. He insulted gay people which is quite a lot of BB fans
3. He didn't have any interest in anyone else and looked bored most of the time.
4. I'm sure punching horses wouldn't have endeared him to the public.

In words of Emma his "fate was sealed". By all means hold strong opinions but for goodness sake don't express them on a reality TV program. That is just stupid.”

Having strong opinions is fine. It's the content of his opinions that was the issue.

I hope the poor horse wasn't too badly hurt.”

that cracked me up when he was going on about being a mentor.

I think he was associating our BB with the American big brother charity/organisation where older men take on a younger kid to help them not go off the tracks ie act like a big bro to them.. He had clearly not been told it was based on George Orwell 1984

Evander shot himself in the foot with his opinions on Gay people and then admitting he punched his horse. He therefore offended all animal lovers and Gays in one fell swoop.

Absolutely. For those that saw the live feed last night, that would be even more obvious (see elsewhere on this forum).
The producers have been manipulating the show for a while with the carefully selected clips that we see on the Highlights show, a number of which (boringly) get repeated on more than one night.

As soon as the "Bolt Hole" was announced, my immediate thought was that the producers didn't like who was up for the Wednesday eviction so early, so this will save whoever - in this case Lee & Casey. When it came to the Friday eviction, had the public vote for those with the least votes been different, the "important decision" that Lee and Casey would have to have made would have been different. Once the producers saw the way the public vote was trending, that would have decided which "option" the "important decision" was going to be

Thanks for that info Mount Olympus. I didn't know about the American charity but I agree - I'll bet that is what he expected!

I didn't want Luisa out either! I want her to win!! her and Jasmine are now my favs”

He probably didn't get automatically saved because of his homophobic views. Evander could very well have been saved if he'd kept his homophobic opinions to himself. I also noticed that Emma (or the producers) chose not to bring up this in his interview either. Spineless! The producers are pathetically spineless.

to be fair to Rylan, as his teeth resemble Shergar he was probably half expecting a punch on the nose anyway, so why double his chances by attacking him for that?

I meant when Emma was interviewing him.

I couldn't care less who he is or how famous he is, I didn't know anything about him before BB but his very ignorant remarks about people choosing to be gay didn't imo do him any favours, though I suspect religion/upbringing may have contributed to him having this opinion so therefore I still wanted to see more of him.

However that all changed for me when he admitted to punching a pregnant horse, this was all I needed to hear to prove what a nasty, horrible human being he is & I would imagine a lot of viewers, even fans of EH thought the same.

This, in my opinion was why he, along with Lusia was in the bottom 2.

And choosing a violent sport for a career. The bible is VERY clear about violence.

I don't respect bible bashers who use scripture to defend their bigotry because they pick their scripture so selectively. I used to meet with a Christian group weekly who cited Leviticus as primary evidence of God's word re homosexuality. But Leviticus teaching is so archaic it's nuts and there's no way they bought into it all. So why cherry pick?

Behold:

Baby girls are twice as dirty as baby boys. 12:1-8

Menstruating women are unclean to God. 15:19-30

Don't look at any naked menstruating women. 18:19

Don't mix seeds when sowing a field or wear a garment with mixed fibers.

Children who curse their parents, adulterers, and homosexuals must be killed. 20:9-12

Woman with "familiar spirits" must be stoned to death. 20:27

The unchaste daughters of priests must be burnt to death. 21:9

Handicapped people must not approach the altar. 21:16-23



Leviticus, Corinthians, Romans, these all damn homosexuals to death and/or eternal hell. Are we also to assume Evander is against women and "the handicapped"?

The irony is that Jesus, who put the 'Christ' in Christian after all, didn't express a view.

So that he could regale to his fellow housemates how many other poor animals he has abused. Punching a poor horse, what a miserable excuse for a human being.

I criticised the post, not the poster. If you don't know how forums work, that's not my problem. There is nothing at all constructive in your post. It's off topic and nothing more than an overt personal attack. Smells of hypocrisy, to me.

He's offended the gays (and probably disabled people on top), animal lovers...he'd probably go for an obscure ethnic group next. It's better he's gone.

More like, what's wrong with Evander? First he compares homosexuality to a handicap, then admits to punching a pregnant horse because it "showed him up". I don't care if he's a boxing legend, he is disgusting.

All your quotes are from the Torah and not the teachings of Christ. He taught peace and love. Thou without sin cast the first stone, only god will judge and all that.... He said the only commandment to follow was love thy neighbour, if only the world listened to him.
