To be fair many would have a go at BB if they had not showed it and then Janice revealed it after the show had aired. I'm pleased they showed it although it was uncomfortable to watch

I'm not convinced he was a medic, BTW. I don't mean he was faking lol. I think he may have just been a first aider. The thing is, he didn't Ask about breathing, he asked if she could swallow. Completely different, and an irrelevant question that a doctor wouldn't
Ask. In anaphylaxis, what swells is your airway. You can't breathe, and you certainly can'T speak nineteen to the dozen like Janice was doing. Before you got as far as having airway compromise, you would have swelling of the face, eyes, lips and tongue. (Although lips might be a bit hard to tell, with that ridiculous trout pout that they all have). Doesn't cause seizures either.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she may have had what we call a "pseudo seizure" (often bought on by stress in people who are prone to them - classic signs of that which she showed would be the careful sliding off the chair avoiding injury, the lack of genuine appearance of an epileptic seizure, the lack of a post-Ictal phase, and the fact that she was well enough to be discharged from hospital pretty rapidly by the sound of it,). Alternatively she might have just faked the entire thing deliberately for attention (pseudo seizures, while "fake" as in they are not actual epileptic seizures, are involuntary - they are psychosomatic).

Past hm's have had medical issues whilst in the house, which they then brought up afterwards. I don't remember anyone being up in arms about not seeing the ins and outs of their condition then.

That's not what i saw. If he said the the fit was real, i genuinely missed it. He did confirm she went to hostpital, is back now, and is fine. He did well to dodge the question. To be fair, he wouldn't know if it was real. If he had it confirmed that was a real seizure, I'm sure he would have said so?


IF he did. Ignore all above

I thought I heard him say it was real, but I may have misheard.

Either way I think they got what they wanted. Everyone's talking about it, mainly debating if she was faking it or not.

Hilariously bad acting.

I'm sorry to the person in this thread who suffers from real fit's, but you're naive as hell if you think Janice's display was one of them lol.

What??.

I hear you both.

You do feel bad wondering if it was fake, but it didn't really look all that convincing. The way she sorta turned over and then rolled onto the floor was very dramatic. I know this is CBB but would someone actually fake a fit, I mean, that's pretty low. It's not like faking you have the shits to stay off school, it's proper serious stuff.

Of course you can.

I don't care if it was genuine or not, in 16yrs of watching this show I was actually shocked they would actually show that.

Janice would do anything if it benefited her, and to get her own way.

I don't think the fit was genuine, even though she probably did feel bad. Janice probably told them it was fake later, so they could show it. It doesn't matter what Rylan says, the producers wouldn't have shown her having a fit for real.

I agree. Why is everyone so concerned if she was faking it or not? We should be concerned with the precedent being set by C5 and these bellend producers for what passes as entertainment.

Judge me all you want but i laughed my arse off.

She did have a bad reaction to whatever it was though that was real. Do bees bite?

Anyway, i doubt she is actually allergic as she said she is, i think she had that reaction because of how unhealthy she is. It comes to something when a bee sting can turn you black and blue. She needs to eat, and live a normal life, all the surgery and medication she is on has destroyed her. Expect headlines of her death in a few years i guarantee it.

Well it made me LOL so I'm glad they showed it.

Are you thinking National Inquirer, or just web based headlines?

Web based, possibly the sun if they're still around next year

Or if you're sitting down, the body goes sideways, and slips downwards. I saw that happen once, and held onto the lady who was having the fit. I couldn't leave her to get her help, until someone else came along who took over, and I went off to tell a staff member of the situation.

The way it happened with Janice I found very odd, but, maybe that's how it goes with her.

As an epileptic I can tell you that you can recover from a fit, within minutes some times. You just feel a little groggy

6 months ago Hopkins got her own room so we did not have to see her fitting during the night.

6 months later ... this!

That paramedic was great wasn't he. You could tell she was going to fall on the floor and he just let her drop.

EXACTLY!! The response to this has been so bizarre... People banging on about what a seizure does or doesn't look like, rolling their eyes, saying the producers only showed it BECAUSE it was fake etc... The point is that the programme did not air it in the context of it being fake, quite the opposite in fact, they put a warning out before the programme aired saying it showed a medical emergency that some people might find distressing, they had a serious faced Emma assuring us afterward that Janice was taken to hopsital and is now fully recovered, they reiterated this point on BOTS afterward... Irregardless of whether or not Janice pantomimed it up to get her medicine faster the fact is that BB presented this footage as genuine. ...and CHOSE TO SHOW IT!

...and yet some people really care more about whether or not they have 'double standards' in terms of which housemates get punished over using certain words or spitting, or dressing up like dictators or whatever... I mean ffs! DOUBLE standards?! They don't have any standards!! And neither, it seems, do a lot of DS members...

...not you that's reading this though, obviously. You're lovely.

I cannot believe that people can be so utterly heartless. This world, and this form in particular, is growing colder by the day.

How IS the bee, incidentally?

err yes you can, as a paramedic I've seen it several times. try looking up 'pseudo fit'
