And I stand by those words. Because she lounges about and contributes nothing. She can't even take her own dishes to the sink or fill her own water bottle.

O-kay...
So, it's gross to suggest a medical explanation, based on a basic understanding of human biology. But accusing someone of being a "lazy toad" is not gross. Got it.

I actually quite liked this episode and task. The music and editing style really is killing this show though. Sometimes it’s easy to see around and other times it’s painful. We didn’t need another recap half way through.
Too much is omitted which we’d actually have time for without “previously…” segments and excessive transitions. I don’t have any real Avid experience but could cut these episodes better than this.
Colin is still vile. I feel dumb after listening to him. “Blessington” ? Smh.
Is it safe to assume all rules are out of the window this year? Blatant noms talk in this ep.

I’ve always found to odd that in the early days of 30 minute episodes they could tell a much more inclusive story while episodes with double or sometimes triple the amount of time it’s a complete whitewash.
When we talk about modern audiences lacking an “attention span” for BB it’s this shit and the other bloat that made the show not worth investing in.
If anything was learned from the months of weekend rewatch marathons it should have been that 100 days of shitty story, with countless intruders, spin-offs, specials, and gimmicks to fill the additional time was a huge contributing factor in why the classic 10 era lost so much steam. On the other hand you have a series like 2001 with very little in terms of frills being a relatively easy and very well received rewatch… In other words it’s not that modern viewers have short attention spans it’s just we don’t have time for crap. Even in the early hours of the morning those early series were still going hard in terms of viewer count and active people in the chat and of that isn’t a clear indicator that viewers will make an investment for a show worth being invested IDK what else I can say.

Other than the disaster that was the double eviction live part and phone call, honestly the last 3 episodes have all been pretty good. It actually feels like the show is just getting into it's stride now. Pity there's like 12 days left....

Improvement is welcome and noted however they still aren’t cutting it. I’ll be publishing a piece on my Medium account at some point.
10K can go a long way if used wisely... think; nice overseas holiday, good used car, major dental work, new household furniture, pay down debts, etc.
And neither are we, which is my point. It's actually a complicated process diagnosing sleep apnea, requiring days of assessment of multiple factors by a specialist. Her being overweight and sleeping a lot is not sufficient to diagnose her or to presume that she has it. That's not an.opinion. it's a fact.

I think they're confusing improvement with modernisation... or are they confusing modernisation with improvement? idk.
I've seen Kingston's piece and it's worth the read.

They’re (production) are obviously banking on this series tempering our expectations coupled with the fact that there will always be a group of hardcore’s that will watch regardless. Right now they’re winning in the ratings, with casual viewership up significantly which is why I find it disheartening to see some people giving them a pass. Unlike with BBUK we have a much bigger united platform and what good was giving ITV a pass on 2023? Worthless. They took their higher than expected ratings, gave themselves a huge round of applause, and changed nothing. I’ve seen complaints that our critique is too harsh but on the other extreme I’ve seen first hand what too soft
dose to a franchise. I’ll keep calling a spade a spade.Hopefully that made sense lol

Oh, bollocks it is. You can get a monitor to wear overnight for a basic assessment. It's one of the first things a GP would consider, given excessive daytime sleepiness and being considerably overweight.
A simple questionaire to assess the possibility. How do you think Abiola would score?

I do not understand why it is so offensive to posters who show a clear contempt for Abiola to read posts by others who can think of an obvious reason why she is sleeping so much. It is not a diagnosis being given - which apparently is so offensive to you, while being offensive yourself - and if it was, so what, this is not reddit.

Re: Sleepiola, I wonder if it’s due to a reduction in caloric intake compared to her usual baseline? Obvs she’s a bigger girl and I don’t want to fat shame her, but I know if I miss a meal or am eating less than usual I’m usually zonked out and needing an afternoon nap and I know Bruce has talked about being hungry / eating smaller amounts than usual

You did, by calling him a whore. Whores get paid...
I didn't say a GP wouldn't consider it. I said they wouldn't diagnose it without testing. The basic test you refer to is not the gold standard. There are multiple aspects to diagnosis including physical assessments, monitoring over multiple nights in a sleep clinic and analysis of results of multiple physical factors by a specialist. There are also two kinds of sleep apnea, which only complicates it further. We can't diagnose her or assume she has it. Simple point.Oh, bollocks it is.

Unrelated, but thought everyone would enjoy this Bortpost that came up today 
Where have I shown contempt for her? I said she sleeps too much and that's not fair on other housemates and potential housemates. That's a fair criticism, not contempt. The sleep apnea critique is that you don't know if she has it, you can't say that's why she sleeps all day, because there's no evidence for it. You're just making assumptions about a stranger's medical status. I don't know about Reddit. Don't use the platform. Is it full of people offended that someone has a different opinion from them?Oh, bollocks it is. You can get a monitor to wear overnight for a basic assessment.

Excuse me? Speaking from experience as someone who struggles with burnout, daytime fatigue, excessive sleeping, and insomnia when being screened for Sleep Apnea testing asking about snoring is a near instantaneous question. She snores, also weight is a contributing factor for Sleep Apnea. No one here is trying to diagnose her, it’s speculation and there’s a massive difference between the two. For one speculation doesn’t require a medical license also in this case it does no harm. Seems to me like you just want to belabour a ridiculous point… Run along now

Emily just orbits around Allana non-stop like a lost puppy dog, Coco thinks the sun shines out of Allana's arse, and now Abiola's become another loyal servant of Allana after she saved her from eviction (giving Allana foot massages, etc.).
Allana's like a witch building her army of minions, and subtly planting seeds of doubt in everybody’s mind through casual conversations. Masterful manipulator.

not that it's a surprise, but the paint job on the side of the door is horrible
I will guess that this is on purpose. It's the "crappy" staff quarters. The mandate would have probably been "slap on some paint with a no care attitude, it's gotta look crap ... oh, and don't bother with a door handle either".
