It seems that they didn't word it that poorly if you could figure it out.
2. Then we saw a classic example of weak-teacher bullying against Tim. First, if BB knew (and, face it, BB knows everything) that Tim had hoarded some wine, why not just say so, and tell him to give it back? Why be oblique and patronising, and then up the punishment later - and why, for fkx sake, up that punishment *as soon as* Tim comes in to the DR with a singularly legitimate grievance?
Tim was stupid enough to think he could hide 2 bottles of wine in a house full of cameras. BB gave him a fair chance to give the bottles back, but he chose to play dumb so he deserves getting reprimanded the way he did. He acted like a child and was therefore treated like a child.
3. What the fck were other people's families doing on individual HM's personal message videos?? Are C4 too lazy to edit videotape, or isn't there anyone working there who can do it?
It seems to me that HM's like Jonny were pretty happy to have a glimpse of their family. It only seemed to hurt poor Tim's feelings. Boo-fcking-hoo.
Tim was absolutely right. This BB thinks it's God, and doesn't seem to understand that if there is indeed a God, he wouldn't need to fck people around to make himself look cool and clever.
BB is not acting like God!!! I think you are giving them too much credit. They are trying to act like the house authority. You really should read the book 1984 from which BB gets its name I think you would realise that the whole point of the show is for BB to be in control.
