Stephanie is in trouble with Gillian | Day 23

Gillian McKeith is attempting to change the celebs' bad habits. But Stephanie is already in her bad books. Still nothing like a good run round the garden on a cold and wet day..

Why dont Steph just tell that idiot to F*ck right off.

IKR

Not just Steph , they all need to

Beyond unethical for BB to send that quack in to a highly pressures environment to mess with peoples heads. Calling Steph emotional toxic and septic, god knows what damage she will do.

Calling that warty old troll a Quack is in reality an insult to Quacks and Quackage.
Utterly vile, repugnant, fraudulent woman whose sole raison d'etre is trying to pass off her brand of bullshit as scientific fact.

This ^ and why the hell is she dressed up as a brussel sprout stalk ???

Look, I'm being honest here, if I was a housemate and someone like Gillian came into the house telling me what to do I'd feel like telling them to f**k off.
I'd probably put it in a nicer way, but I'd be very clear in stating that their 'help' is not appreciated, so thank you but no thank you.

Steph should have just told her to F-off ,and so should the others ,and to stick her poxy task

And then rolling her eyes as Steph starts to off load.

I said as much in another thread regarding the Steph/Jeremy/Sam stuff.
This is an area where I think BB may be doing something unethical and which breaches the broadcasting code about TV programmes demonstrating a duty of care to people appearing on their show.
That is one area they should have kept well away from.

Me too, and I'd also question her qualifications which I believe she doesn't have. So ludicrous that headstrong people like these would do ANYTHING she demanded. I mean, why would they?

I think the reasons are, roughly, these:

* Being in BB messes with HMs' heads anyway.

* HMs always seem very easily influenced by 'outside knowledge' and the people who have it.

* It's part of a task, and HMs are supposed to participate in tasks.

I think it's much more difficult, psychologically, to tell GM to F off that it seems to be from out here.

It's a good question.
It was only the other day I watched the film 'The Stanford Experiment' based on the original famous real life prison experiment, and it seems to suggest how this can happen.

I can imagine that when in the BB house a mental shift takes place, especially over a period of time. The longer the period of time it's probably more likely that people will act in ways that they normally wouldn't in the outside world.

They all accepted Gillian as a figure of authority without question, acting under the authority of Big Brother. Which is quite interesting to see them be so agreeable so readily, but at the same time I also feel that something doesn't feel ethically right considering the nature of what Gillian was doing in there in respect to it being presented as therapy. I think that this is a dangerous area for BB to be playing about with for the sake of entertainment.

Absolutely. When you think about it the BB housemates are going to be in a very different headspace than we are in as viewers.

I agree, though I'm not sure it breaches the broadcasting code. The section on "harm and offence" is about protecting the public; the ones on "Fairness" and "Fairness", though they do protect participants in some ways, don't look like they do what's needed either. However, I don't think their duty of care depends on the broadcasting code.

I think it's especially questionable to use someone like Gillian McKeith who they may feel is a proper therapist.

why do they do what she says---> social psychology 101
