Nah, a true troll will get people in on both sides of an argument, and then step away and leave them be...

I've not spent much time in restaurant kitchens, but have done work in a ship's galley, and not only are you up on your feet for hours, it's hotter than a badger's backside in there (there is a better analogy but I can't think of one). You need stamina to be able to survive in there...

excuse me whilst I faint

...there thats better...spiz don't agree with me...there'll be volcano erruptions and hurricanes and all sorts as the heavens move and the earths plates shift....

you're right though...hot hot hot!!!!

Can't we just close this silly thread now please!

I have to agree in part with AmNeSia. Gos is fat and not attractive to look at. Saying he's a chef and running round all day is rather a generalisation... does he not work in some pokey family cafe ? hardly a high power 5 star restaurant !!! Let's hope he goes soon

Is this called for

Just cause Gos, don't float yer boat, there is no need to be cruel

Anyway, was it not McDonalds he worked in?

so you want him to go because he is 'fat and not attractive to look at'...bloody hell...time for most of teh population to run to the hills and never come back...

and anyway...his kitchen...it was on the first show...not exactly 5 star no but hardly a tea and sandwiches sort of place - or if not - just a well equipped kitchen!

get over yourselves really, you should seek help for that persecution complex you seem to have

It's not persecution. In the perfect PC world some posters seem to live in, everyone would love everyone else and it would all be hugs and kisses all round

In the world where most of us live in , we have our views which may not be the views of everyone else

If people didnt find a reason not to like contestants there would be no show !!! so if people want to vote people out cos they are bloaty then so be it !

I'm sure most of the blokes in the country vote to keep in 'fit birds' .... that too would be discrimination according to the logic you apply

Just facts of life

Gos out (while he can still fir through the door)

Yes Mes, I know. I think I've defended the fat corner well and suitably derided amnesia. I am sated.

Tit for tat I guess. I'm just tired of this topic, it struck a nerve I guess.:yawn:

So you paint me out to be part of the PC brigade to further your argument...that just doesn't wash...

If anyone has read my posts (though I admit the chances are pretty slim!) you'll see quite clearly that I am not part of that horrid brigade...

I find it hard to swallow that you dismiss someone simply because they are fat...its horrible...truly disgusting really...

Voting for him because he's fat - fine you go ahead and do that...you probably will anyway...but that being a reason for him not even being allowed a chance - that is wrong - that is what you are suggesting

and you were almost doing well until you said 'while he can still fit through the door'....fine have your opinions - but suggesting he shouldn't be in there just because he is fat is once again disgusting...

Your fine Mac....wasn't referring to you..it's the subject matter of this thread and the language being used that I think falls into the offensive area.....

No we don't.

Either you're assumming everyone is prejudiced to this extreme level or you are upsetting people by thinking it is ffunny to wind them up.

Neither are welcome, perhaps we should focus back on the actual programme we are discussing.

New to the boards, but i am not at all impressed with the autor of this post.

Apart from being morally wrong, i'm pretty sure the orinigal post is not adhering to the rule:

"[Users..] must not make posts to the Digital Spy Forum which are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory or offensive."

and thus the post has been reported.

(Just to add my two pennies worth... Justine in not 'over weight', Gos could well be over weight, but whats wrong with that? Nothing fullstop)

The point I was making was that overweight people such as those mentioned earlier will struggle to entertain in the same way as someone who is more acceptably sized in society. ”

Bit of a generalisation, I mean, I Find Dawn French pretty entertaining!

You're perfectly correct, we all make first impressions based upon information we have at the time - if that is just how someone looks then so be it...

that DOES NOT mean that anyone who happens to be fat should not be allowed on BB...it does not mean that they will be entertaining, it does not mean that they will be lazy...

in fact the opposite is often true - because of attitudes like this a lot of people who are fat find that they have to be the funny one - or that they have to hide the choccys or suddenly do some random exercise to try to shake of the prejudice that causes them so much hassle...

I agree with your last comment but everything else is still bloody horrible!

I once had a fat uncle. He sat in the garden all day reading victorian erotica. How we would laugh at him. sadly he's now dead. It wasn't the fat that killed him. It was a thin person driving a Fiat Panda. How ironic is that?

Hey, how about tone-deaf contestants who sing constantly for the duration of their stay? Viewers get used to hearing people singing off-key, and then what happens? Eurovision! Tthat's what happens.

Talk about setting a bad example!

My uncle trevor could not sing. It wasn't because he was fat. It was because someone broke his nose with a cricket bat while he was umpire one summer. Unfortunately the reason the guy caught up with him was because he was fat. But despite this, dear old uncle trevor still lives on in our memories.
