Like her Makosi interview where Davina went into full "b*tch" mode but Makosi was still too intelligent for her.

I'd be frustrated if I had to speak with a man who labelled people "child abusers" with no good reason.

Always amazes me how intolerant some people are of intolerance. Like the people who supported the right to free speech for Charlie Hebdo - then wanted Donald Trump banned for exercising his.

Maybe abuse was the wrong word, but Winston is entitled to his opinion.

And so is Emma.

I agree! I also feel like if your aim is to combat homophobia the last thing you should do is shout over a homophobe and demonise them because they are less likely to give more open-minded views a chance and more likely to get riled up. Perhaps the reason Rylan was more patient than Emma was because he is the one who has to deal with the long-term consequences.

Yeah, because racists are so open to reasoning too, right?

He labelled people CHILD ABUSERS... He didn't say, "Oh gays make me uncomfortable", or "Oh, I believe in traditional marriage". He said gay people were child abusers - basically, scum.

Tell me, in what way is he not demonising gay people by saying that?

The interview was uncomfortable to watch

If Emma doesn't take a HM to task she's terrible.....but when she does her job she's still terrible...she just can't win....I'd like to see you lot do her job

i agree, she is appauling

Rylan Clarke was just as bad. He promised him one question and then talked about nothing else.

Ha didn't label anybody Child abusers , stop twisting it !!
He likened SS adoption as ''child abuse' completely different subject
And also if he was articulate enough would have explained that he meant 'psychological abuse not physical abuse ' as this topic is not exactly new .

I agree. This is the problem with wordplay and when a set of rules that you weren't aware of, are brought into play.

Winston was the perfect ploy to gain controversy.

Agreed. But the show isn't meant to be about her.

That was a bizzare interview. Seriously you'd think Makosie had killed a member of Davinas family the way she went on at her like that! All the girl did was pretend she was pregnant. She was TV gold for God sake! Lol

bib - the producers certainly did throw him under a bus, they set up the whole scenario. They knew he'd said this at some point in his past, set up the task, the whole lot. THEY were the ones giving him 'another second of airtime' because this wasn't said on the show, it was said in the past where it may well have stayed if the CBB producers hadn't resurrected his comments purely for entertainment purposes.

This whole thing was set up.

I'll reiterate what I said on another thread.

@ muggins

Ok, he likened it to 'Child Abuse' - meaning that the same-sex couple in question are either advocating, or participating in "a like-child abuse act", right? So, gay people are "like" Child Abusers? That makes it so much better! Don't worry, you loving gays, you're not actual child abusers, but by having a child, you're simply like them, or at the very least committing something just as abhorrent as child abuse.

It really is semantics though, isn't it? He said, "I said it in the heat of the moment", but that kinda stuff doesn't just "accidentally slip out". Child abuse, and child abusers, are considered all round to be the lowest of the low. That's a conviction he has, not a "slip of the tongue" - the same way as a person who drinks too much and says racist crap is probably, deep down, a racist, and not just a victim of "the booze talking".

By the way, psychological abuse against a child is still child abuse. There's no differentiation - and it's somewhat hypocritical from him, considering a lot of Christians force-feed the idea of everlasting "Hell" into their children's heads in order to make them behave in a certain manner. But a couple of Dusty Springfield/KD Lang fans raising a kid is apparently more abusive in their minds... Ridiculous!

It's simply vile to even compare gay parents to committing child abuse. Absolutely vile, and more than being offensive to gay people, it's offensive to all those who have actually suffered from child abuse.

All Emma had to do was ask Winston about the comments he made then lower her head and follow it up with the classic "...but can you see how some people might have took offence to that?". That's it. It's done. Next ask about his time in the house, who he got on with, whatever. But no, with Emma the whole interview has to be about Winston's comments. Why? Because they were so terrible or because it was the perfect opportunity for Emma to show her moral superiority? You decide.

This wasn't surprising to me though. Nothing surprises me about her anymore. This is the same woman who kept making not so subtle references to her own pregnancy all through the live show. Pointing to her stomach during one link and then in another going "Must be something in the water". Yes, just bring everything back to you Emma.

Davina was awful but I would have her back in a heartbeat over this overrated, self-absorbed halfwit.

I have no problem with an ignorant bigot being confronted

But Winston was put in that house because he was an ignorant bigot

And then, when he delivered exactly what he was supposed to deliver ... exactly what they wanted and expected him to deliver ... they acted all shocked and offended

That kind of ugly manipulation and duplicity I DO have a problem with

You have put this so well, i couldn't stand the mans views, but he was set up like a lamb to the slaughter tonight. Even down to it being a HM eviction rather than a viewers eviction, but only after BB had made his previous comments known to the house.

No he did not....you have twisted what he said.

Agree, these presenters think only their views matter, we dont all agree with them and Emma Willis was vile last night.

Er no it's not Semantics at all
