You place boys in an environment where they are spending a fair amount of time together, and they will be talking about mutual girls physiques, friend, co-worker, people on BB. It's fairly common.

It's no different to Lisa saying to Jake that David's eyes are close together.


The bloke doesn't say much but I thought his bit with Sam's leg was funny.


Where are the girls going...?

David did say Lisa boobs were good but a bit low and Travis said they sagged a bit (Are Lisa and Cats boobs fake?) and was talking to the boys, who were also talking about girls legs and boobs etc. The girls have said similar things about the guys muscles and height etc but to me Lisa was being spiteful in saying David's eyes are too close together, meaning he was ugly etc.

No, but thanks! I'm just making a bold statement to illustrate how problematic it is to make excuses as grand as 'boys will be boys' when it doesn't address the cause of the issue, lacks accountability and dismisses the people who were ill-treated. And just because something is a common occurrence or an unsurprising occurrence, doesn't make it okay to ignore it in favour of continuing a culture of more ill-behaviour.

Well I read your comment as making a connection between David commenting on Lisa's breasts to him being an abuser. Which seemed like an outrageous leap to me.

I've read through your comments to try and understand what you're saying and I'm just not sure I'm getting it. Are you saying commenting about someone's breasts is sexist or am I over simplifying things?

Nah it is not normal, should be expected as normal for guys to bond over exploring unreal expectations of the female form.

Yes it is.

Then you lack any formed sense of humor or at least basic knowledge. He struggled to say anything and everything he said was copied and unoriginal.

Long tradition in BB is the 'lads stick together' and then the tweener female fans vote leading to a lot of females being voted out.

If so then 99% of the forum better get "I'm a sexist" tattooed on their arm. Countless comments about Dion's pecs, wondering what his penis is like, same with Travis, Drew and Ed's everything, Skye's ass, Jade's boobs and body in general, Tahan's ass, etc. And that's just the ones I've seen recently.
 
I think Jason and Dion could make much better decision.

New pairs are now much stronger than most of the others.

Why would Sam and Ryan be a weaker pair than Travis and Ryan used to be? I don't get it.

Yes...they should have paired Travis and Ryan with women......when it comes to "games" the HOH should be the only all male team.....I thought they would have understood that...BB practically TOLD them that... *sigh*

The task could have running in it, so they could be weaker

Unless Sam runs like Oscar Pistorious.

I can't see Ryan blitzing them in any intelligence test.
 
Sam is an athlete and I am sure that he can do in many tasks much better then most of the girls and boys.

The weakest link for me is actually Jason. No way they (he and Dion) will win any money.
 
Did Sonia made Jason and Dion to promise while in the power room? Are we in kindergarten now? What happened to the strict warnings of BB? Are we now gonna see BB asking HMs to promise or make an oath? 🤣

If you look back through the voting history from past series, the women nearly always nominate each other, they almost always self destruct.

I agree, but this year there seem to be more above-average women than men. Priya is clearly clever, Katie knows how to get her will through, Lisa, Cat and Sandra don't seem stupid, and even Skye is exceptional in her way.

David, Ryan, Travis are quite disposable, not sure that Sam and Dion can deliver etc.

If there were to be a girls year, this could be it. They just need to not seek the boofheads approval, and get the buggers out without turning on each other.

As I said, go back to the days where feminism was a much bigger issue than it is now, you need to calm down and not call people you don't even know a "fucking idiot" - shall I call you a brainless bitch and tell you to go back to the kitchen? .. no.

Can see why u were friends with TS the tool.
 
All right, so with this episode, I am seeing a lot of things I don't like:

  • A pair will be put up for eviction but.....
    • Only one member will be evicted, and the housemates decide "face-to-face" (which I suppose is slightly better than voting to evict in the Diary Room). Still, it's way too much like the American version.
  • People are discussing nominations just because they're working as a pair. Katie and Lucy were given 30 seconds max in the Nominations Chamber to discuss a strategy. Why do these housemates get to do it here?
  • It's a week long Luxury Competition for money that is coming out of the prize fund. Are we not playing for food anymore?

Overall, this is becoming more and more like the American version.

Another exercise in how not to make Big Brother tonight. Seriously the most interesting thing about it was the house plans on the screen!

I wasn't even listening to Sonia when the plans were on the wall, looking for clues.

I did notice at one stage it clearly showed the Fishbowl - only it was labeled "Fishbowl/Chill Out Zone", so it must be getting removed at some point.
 
What I gathered from tonight.
1. Painting Lisa, David and Gemma in a bad light
2. The more Lisa talks about her saggy boobs, the more I am starting to go "oh yeah, they are a bit"
3. Skye is definitely their favourite ala Ben from Brisbane. Thus bringing me to the next point:
4. They will separate Skye from Lisa somehow at some point.
5. Skye so needs to drop that deadbeat. She's seriously growing on me in a kind of legally blonde way.

Dammit. Now that Travis and Ryan are split up, and with the housemates voting, they stand a better chance of surviving evictions.

Fuuuuuuuuck thiiiiiis shiiiiiiiit.

Judging by the Jump-in poll they would have survived an eviction anyway.

Seriously who voted for Travis and Anne Veal to be the most powerful couple?
