Is this series really "too much" considering BB3/5/6 or are people too sensitive?

Well, yes, I do want people to write things that make sense and that don't presuppose too much that someone reading the thread might not know about or might not be able to identify based on what's in the thread.

But one way to do that would be to answer when someone asks about it, rather than going all sarcastic.

So it's the mere phrase "call for" that's the big issue? I don't see that as the same as saying the thread is "uncalled for". I just want to know what it's about. You seem to think it's "obvious". It certainly isn't to me, and you don't seem to be explaining it either.”

I don't know how to make it clearer to you. Everyone else on this thread understands the purpose of my post.

The purpose-

Why the kick off because C4 was as smutty or more sexual than this series.

The warnings in the Peak of BB was just 'strong language and nudity' and it was worse. Here we get a disclaimer like we are about to watch something on Liveleak

Why not just state whatever it is that they supposedly understand?

Where is it kicking off? Twitter?

In the forum, I've seen one thread on the strangulation scene, but what it says seems reasonable to me (and perhaps that scene explains the warnings) and no one has replied. And there's a thread, Laura topless - Wtf?!, where its OP says "Why can't they just censor certain things, no need for it. I'm not a member of the Ofcom Brigade but still! There was no need to show her in the swimming pool and again in the bedroom!" but doesn't get much agreement.

I miss social experiment Big Brother...or at least the remaining vestiges of the format it held onto until about BB9. Everything moving along in chronological order, clear rules, a sense of group dynamics developing organically. General editing tone at least trying to seem unbiased/documentary style. Is there anything like it still on TV in any country? BB on Channel 5 just isn't the same.

I have been watching the Euro's and have had to do a bit of catching up........i think the reaction to this last few episodes has been a bit over the top to say the least. Nothing i seen shocked me, not even the choking scene, the only reaction i had to it was "is that it?".

With everything i have seen on this show over the last 16 years, what happened on Sunday's show was never going to shock me.

This 100%.

An avid fan from the very start should in theory be the least prude people in the country given what we have witnessed in the last 16 years.

This is the culture that social media like Facebook and Twitter has brought us, sensitive prudes banding together for censorship 'campaigns' because they want to outdo each other for who can be most 'offended' or 'outraged' and the mainstream media lap it up

You always see headlines in the tabloids like 'Big Brother slammed for ____ on Twitter' but it actually turns out to be a very small handful of crybabies competing to be more 'offended' than the person next to them

Agree with that post, social media has made viewers more sensitive-that left-wing rag The Mirror were saying yesterday that Marco should be removed from the house due to his strangulation game with Laura. Bollocks. Rather enjoyed last night's show, certainly. I'll never see My Heart Will Go On in quite the same way again. Free the boobies!
