It seems no one in the house could work out why he'd been removed because hed not offended anyone in there.

He was called to the diary room and half an hour later they were told he'd gone but nobody knew why.

But remember, these are the same housemates that listened to him stating that bisexuals had been responsible for spreading AIDS to America & didn't say a word about it...

Well to be fair we don't know they didn't say a word. For all we know there could have been a lengthy debate about the myths and conspiracy theories about the spread of AIDS. Meanwhile we are beinging entertained with endless snogging and vicarious sexual titbits.

I don't think the people in there are smart enough to be offended by anything.

You have to be capable of thought for that.

What offends one person doesn't necessarily offend another.

Here I was thinking we were homogeneous.

Not really sure why you said that. It doesn't alter my statement. I honestly don't think they're smart enough to find anything offensive.

The might find something offensive if they're trained to find it offensive. Something racist or homophobic for example. But they wouldn't be able to tell you why it was offensive.

BIB i assume you are using that word very loosely

agree with you tho, how can we know what was said when all they showed us was the part of the discussion that Biggins and Renee had - James was there how do we know he didn't challenge Biggins' theory

It was nothing to do with Biggins' aids chat, it was the gas-chamber joke that got him chucked out.

But they said he'd already received a warning for that in his final DR chat?

Silly, silly man - he had a good chance of willing but ran away at the gob with his highly dodgy views, once too often.

so they invited Grant on to dish the dirt and he knew nothing?

I hope he didn't get his fee, of course he knew nothing, he was probably leering the other way

That's the trouble with BB. Violence and porn are encouraged through alcohol but God forbit someone states an opinion of their own.

If a HM were to say terrible tattoos and too much plastic surgery is ugly, you'd have a mob of offended people. They'd be climbing all over the furniture shouting and foaming at the mouth.

Actually, that's probably true.

I guess I just miss the days when the HM's just sat around talking like normal people. I actually found that fascinating. I know that the producers think that's boring.

So the CIA person that Renee said was saying the same thing might be why. Renee was involved and spoke the same as Biggins in both conversations we have been shown and from what we saw she had started the talk and Biggins then joined in

At the end of the day - he allegedly had three warnings for offensive speech. He then made a further offensive comment against bisexuals so therefore - he is out.

If it had been Bear/Lewis/Ricky/Marny/Chloe/Katie who had said "it was the bisexuals, they went to Africa, shagged those people and then came home, shagged their family and thats how AIDS started innit" - people on here would have been screaming for them to be thrown out.

People have been moaning for a few seasons now that BB arent tough enough - ie. Helen Woods etc. When they are, they are wrong because its Biggins.

Jokes about the holocaust and blaming a section of people with a different sexuality for AIDS should be reason to be thrown out. Renee didnt blame bisexuals - she just requoted a widespread conspiracy that the CIA were responsible and it was man-made.

I would have much rather they aired Biggins making the comment he got ejected for so we -can all form our own opinions INSTEAD of airing Aubry spitting into Bear's mouth.

I don't think the two comments that were aired justified his removal.
