Double Standards (There's a lot of 'em on this show)

But the most glaringly obvious are those exhibited by the producers.

Michael Barrymore: Dresses up as Hitler inside the Big Brother house - stays till the final.
Tila Tequila: writes a column about Hitler 2 years before entering when she was "suicidal, depressed and on drugs" - kicked out.

No double standards there, eh BB

No double standards at all Barrymore was making fun and it was obvious he had contempt for Hitler whereas Tila thought he was lovely and agreed with what he did. Can you not see the obvious differences.

Yes I can but also, one was in the house and one wasn't. can you not see those obvious differences.
Plus she has since apologised and moved on, why can't you?

Also, Tila did nothing wrong inside the house and was ejected. Janice spits at another housemate and gets to stay : welcome to the bizarre world of BB morality.

Tbh i feel sorry for tila yet another person the producers have cheated out there place from the house because of the same dumb ass bb public cheerimg get so and so out. Tila said she suffered from scuicidal attacks and she was mentaly unstable back when she made that comment and she also apologised you think the bb staff would do there research before they sign on a housemate god i also hated when they cheated sam out her place last year by letting the clique to decide wether to evoct her or not

They should change their slogan to "who goes? You decide unless we kick them out first for a bit of publicity"

and last nights double standard goes to...., once again, to Big brother.

Jan 2015: Katie Hopkins given her own room as they don't want to show her fitting during the night on TV
September 2015: "Let's show Janice fitting in the diary room.

The saga continues.

Who says I haven't moved on I didn't know her before she went in and don't know her now, if she was so into drugs she didn't know what she was doing (seems to be what she is saying) then I have no problem with her, personally I think she is too damaged to be in BB but that isn't unusual.

Could that be down to permissions KH didn't want to be seen whereas Janice wanted her Oscar moment ?

CH5 BB is a joke, they have been full of double standards since they took over the show.

To be honest, we don't know for 100% if Janice was acting. Her hand did seem to change colour. I guess we could only confirm it if we actually knew she was stung. If she was, then its real.

As far as KH getting her own room. I don't think they should have their own room. Part of being on BB is to interact with people and show each other for who they are. Nobody bribed KH to go in to BB.

Also showing a fit on BB, and amongst the other housemates might have been a good education point too. Another missed opportunity. If KH didn't want to take that risk then she shouldn't have gone in.

Though I guess the main point is that some people are protected by BB and others aren't. It's a shame the show is so manipulated these days.

The entire show is a major screw up from start to finish. It lacks consistency and the posters above are right and I had a chuckle at the examples shown. Im sure Tila's lawyers will have a lot more when he gets them in court for Breach of Contract. It has happened frequently where BB has pushed people out early on in the series just to get a headline and publicity.

The show should be renamed DSBB

Isn't that down to them individually negotiating their contracts some get better deals than others it never has been one rule for everyone.

I do not like KH so am not here to defend her, however she suffers from a particularly nasty type of epilepsy - well, all epilepsy is nasty, I have a daughter who suffers with it myself - where she ends up with dislocated shoulders on a regular basis and is taken to hospital pretty regularly, I imagine she was separated not just for her own safety but others' peace of mind too, as well as for BB to be able to monitor her properly.

She is, I believe, contemplating brain surgery - my daughter also went through that 4 years ago. It's not something to be taken lightly.

So, I really don't think that - in this particular case - KH's severe epilepsy and Janice's possible seizure as a result of a sting can even be compared with regard to whether they should have been segregated from the general housemate bedroom.

ETA: I know some of the stuff about KH not because I'm a fan but because I support some epilepsy charities, for obvious reasons, and this has been talked about recently in the press http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/ce...-10432098.html

Plus, the Hitler routine (akin to John Cleese in Fawlty Towers) was part of Barrymore's routine at the height of his fame, he was bound to do it at some point!

Double standards? This show has no standards.

The producers would exploit anything for a bit of publicity and a ratings boost. I'm sure they'd sell their own mothers in a heartbeat for a couple thousand more viewers and a Daily Star headline.

The engineered bullying from last series was a new low. And now they're experimenting with showing people having medical episodes for entertainment. Wether you thought she was faking it or not, the producers were clearly salivating at the reaction showing a seizure would get. I bet they're crossing their fingers for (god forbid) something even more serious to broadcast.

Reality TV producers are scum. I'm surprised they don't really have a bad rep amongst the general public, like traffic wardens and estate agents who are generally seen as a byword for untrustworthiness or worse.

1.) She apologized AFTER she was booted, didn't she? Not before.

2.) The whole thing was a setup. Blame who deserves it and for the right reasons--the producers are guilty, yes. But not for folding to pressure from Jewish groups, like I suppose you are implying, but because they certainly KNEW of her background beforehand, are lying about that now, and put her in there (and eventually took her out) knowing this would all blow up and get them lovely publicity.

Agreed. Channel 5's "production" has made BB tacky and I am not the avid fan I once was.

How many millions tuned in the year Kate Lawler won? Now, if asked, very few members of the public have any idea who won this years civilian BB. I have no idea!

Don't worry, it was no one special.
