They have this little scenario all set up, where they are going to do this little trial and hold people to account for things that they have said and done in the past. Common practice in BB, often entertaining, always dramatic. They knew that this kind of revelation is likely to lead to an eviction, then pretty much ensured it with the housemate vote tonight - leading nicely into a little interview where Emma and Rylan can 'shine' and show the right amount of outrage on our behalf. We can all feel satisfied that this man has been rightfully told off by our hosts on our behalf.
All drama carefully orchestrated and executed by the producers for our 'entertainment'. They got what they wanted, a lot of people talking about the housemates, the press loving it, all in the first few days ... and all set up from the initial VT edited carefully to show his 'back to the wall' comment which set the tone for this drama.
Not an attempt to justify Winston at all, there is no justification for what he said, but it's all so very predictable from Big Brother.”

Good point.
I can't say I like it. I found it all very uncomfortable to watch tonight.
Bravo Paralax.
