A bit of a unbalanced situation...on one side someone being smiley and talking positivly and on the other someone with a face like thunder and later talks alot of trash about her without any need to...not to mention the original attack was from Aisleyene.
So, not an equal sided incident.”
Possibly not, but the real culpability lies with the people who set this situation up.
To blame either Farrah or Aisleyne as the main guilty party undermines the responsibility of the show itself who should be professional enough to not allow anything like this to get out of control.
They also failed in their duty to protect the people taking part in the show.
For this reason alone they have probably broken TV broadcasting rules and regulations. For the show creators to literally provoke and instigate the situation and then lose control suggests to me that they aren't fit to broadcast a television show.
They also put themselves into a situation where somebody could have definitely been injured, and also left Channel 5 open to legal problems should anyone have decided to sue them.
Banning Aisleyne or Farrah from the show would do absolutely nothing to change the framework which deliberately set the conditions which allowed this incident to happen in the first place. It could just as likely happen again with different people.
You can blame Farrah, you can blame Aisleyne, makes no difference. BOTS made this happen. They tried to set up the perfect environment where it was likely to happen. Now that it has they have to take responsibility for what happened.
They're all for pointing out the moral flaws in various housemates, but now the finger is pointing directly at them for their own moral shortcomings.
