1) If its ok to emphasise Jades 'bad' personality by insulting her appearance, then do you think it would have been fine to emphasise Adeles 'bad' behaviour by insulting her about the colour of her skin?.
There is a difference between being black and looking slutty, and I'm sure you know this!

2) One day after Jade appeared in the house, she was getting insults about her looks. do you think that was valid when,at that point, she hadnt actually done anything bad at all.
Jade's behaviour was awful on the very first evening, and she picked up a lot of her wk1 votes on day1

3) Jade is in great danger of physical harm when she gets out (christ even people who LOOK like jade are getting attacked!), do you think this is suitable 'punishment' for her?, or ever evr so slightly OTT?.
Jade is not likely to be attacked - she is more likely to revel in the attention, and start fights herself by throwing her weight about. She's not exactly physically vulnerable!

I agree with domino more than the original poster.

Criticism and observation are fine. When it moves into slander and spiteful comments that have no function other than to insult I think it's crossed the line. I mean, why bother, they can't hear you and they have no comeback, so it's not big and it's not clever.

If you're one of the people on here that do it, there are much more suitable programmes you should be watching shown on the BBC and ITV at teatime!

The hm's are volunteers not victims (while they're in BB, that is)

I find it (when I have the time) interesting to read peoples opinions of hm's - how they differ from mine...etc
I comment 'mostly' on what I like or dislike about hm's behaviour - as for appearances -I've only ever commented on Alex's walk coz it makes me laff, his voice, coz it sounds so whiny.
In the real world I'd have no problem telling any of the hm's what I thought of their behaviour but I'd never comment on their appearance.

2) The contestants are there with one aim: to win £70,000.

No way! The £70,000 cash prize for the last man (or woman) out of the house is a minor consideration.

Most housemates see the BB house merely as a stepping stone to fame and fortune on television and in the meeja.

(though you could count on the fingers of one hand those who actually have made it so far).

In any case, the Sun/News of the World/Sunday Mirror/Sunday People/Express/Star/Hello/Heat etc etc will all have their cheque books ready to buy up Jade (not to mention Alex and Kate and Jonny) whether she wins or loses. And the money they are prepared to offer will put Enedemol's £70k very much in the shade.

Hey Jack

"Popularity" = "the one the viewers like best wins" (or whatever I put). Same thing. This thread, though, is about what we can discuss on these forums and what response we can expect from other posters. It is not about how we decide who to vote for. (I created it because I received an abusive private message from somebody about a humourous post I made about a certain unpopular HM - which I thought was a bit off.) It's against the T&C of this forum to be homophobic, racist etc. It's not against the T&C of the forum to comment on somebody's size or hair colour or to draw conclusions about the life choices the contestants made when deciding they were going to go blonde or eat so much they became obese. They put themselves up to be judged for this. That's all. Obviously, some people will choose other criteria when deciding who to vote out but we just can't discuss these in the forum that's all.

And thanks for the support for this thread everyone. You've restored my faith.

Richard. ”

Sorry Richard,
I thought you were initiating an interesting (and it was) debate about the morality and reasoning of voting choices. I didn't realise you were just reiterating the T & C of the forum.

I'll not bother you again.

i dont think its fair that people are ranting on about jades looks, she cant help her face, plus why should she have to be a size 10 ? everyone that has a go and calls her pig faced should have to put up thier own photo , lets see how beautiful they are !
i dont like jades personality and dont want her to win but she doesnt deserve this s**t
