What happened between Jade and Cristian, and whatever was said, was in the context of the BB house. It was their argument to argue through, about events in the house.

But of course we can't be sure of the true context yet. If we ever will.
Whichever way you look at it, it really is a tacky, shitty thing for BB to do. It really is a low shot and cheapens the show to a level even lower than where it stood before. It';s hardly surprising why the show has put so many viewers off it for so many years.”
bib - I totally agree, I've been saying it all series long. I will go by what I see within the confines of the BB house - BB are supposed to be showing us what happens within the house, not bringing in information from outside to cause arguments.

As several have said, we know very little and will likely never know the whole story.”
Exactly.

Have people become so desensitised to BB's interfering that it is now considered normal and acceptable to feed external information into there now?”
Indeed.

It's a kangaroo court every night.

At least he could say that technically it wasn't a threat and that he wasn't blackmailing her, he was just saying it would be an 'unfortunate accident' if it did happen.

Perhaps it went along the lines of Cristian saying to the female/male - look, we broke up, you've called me 55 times each day for 6 weeks, it has to stop. It's over, if you can't understand that then... (talks about the tape they made together).
Or not.
We don't know, only he and the girl know.
I don't want to know, we didn't need to know, just as we don't need to know about Chloe's Dad or anything else. It's not relevant to the game of Big Brother.
Shoddy work all around BB, and FMs who relish outing all the info they can on HMs personal lives for their own amusement. If BB's not entertaining people enough as a show that they have to dig up dirt about everybody, embellish it and use it to bash housemates with (who have no recourse to respond at this time), then really - watch Judge Rinder instead.
