Big Brother ITV2 - Thread 4

Maybe we could do a mn trip to this?

@FreeTheOakTreeThere’s a lot of lying on the beds from other housemates too which annoys me. I don’t like Yasmin keeping her pyjamas on all day as well.
No idea who I think should win, would like Omar, Philip or Rochelle out this week.

Not all young men, obviously.

I don't really care why he is like he is, I just know I no longer support him as a housemate.

Omar presents as someone who is unapologetically patriarchal. Why might that be? Is this the norm amongst young men now?

I don't really see the argument about not showing it really anyway

The point of the show isn't to not show what's happening

This was eye opening. Someone so dodgy and nasty would never have hidden it in such a show.

He was obviously deluded enough to think the show could be a platform to stardom for him. 🙄

I agree they were right to show it.

But it would be good if they also showed BB attempting to deal with it and talking to both Rhianna and Omar about it.

I did say a little gross. The hanging around in her night clothes, constantly wearing a blanket, her sloth like presentation, and the belching.. She is slovenly and seems to be a lethargic presence.

I would personally struggle to live with someone like that.

As I said, at this point I don't like any of them and don't see a worthy winner.

I've seen a thread on Facebook about Omar's behaviour towards Rihanna, and many people have said they'd complained to Ofcom, because BB showed it.

Extrapolate that across other FB posts, and other social media, and Ofcom are going to be busy today!

Personally, I think they were right to show it. It will hopefully open up discussions around acceptable and unacceptable behaviour within relationships.

I think Omar is in for a tough time after BB though.

As is Philip, going by the Reddit link shared by @RapunzelHadExtensions

What is gross about Yasmin? I really haven't noticed that, apart from her loud belching on last night's show. Which was disgusting, admittedly.

If I were Rhianna's mother, I would want her out of the house immediately. I would have used my money and clout to have her removed and then gone public on why. It is chilling viewing and insidious in its build up - that we can all see, but she cannot.

'your feelings aren't facts' is an expression designed to remove her own sense of reality and agency. I hope he gets booted out next. I loathe him and his moronic gangster boy voice and turn of phrase.

Twix is being treated horribly. She didn't waver when offered the 30 seconds (unlike the selfish princess) and then to see the reactions of the clique must have been really crushing, only for Phillip to do the same not only shows it's every man and woman for themselves, but a widespread hostility towards her. I don't like watching it and think this is one of the nastiest houses for years.

Lynx is the most calculating and would compromise his gran to get to the final.

Harry (his politics aside) does seem the sweetest person in there.

Sorry to say that I find Yasmin a little gross.

Current position: Can't stand any of them.

I think BB really ought to be calling Omar to the diary room today and talking to him about his behaviour towards Rhianna.

It will infuriate him but send a strong message to young women/girls watching the show - that controlling behaviour should not just be accepted. It isn't ok to make her feel that she needs to be fixed and isn't allowed to talk about their relationship or have male friends.

On a more positive note, he has lost any chance of winning the show now with the more unpleasant parts of his personality so clearly on display. I would love for him to be voted out now and I expect everyone in the house is getting tired of the relationship dramas between him and Rhianna.

Rhianna spoke tough then acted weak but she is a victim in this and very immature, despite she doesn't think she is.

Yup. He won't win, though. Hopefully.

I think he’s very secure at being there until the end from doing the cooking and being useful in tasks.

Interesting thread here from scousers and giving some insight into vile Phillip:

Also agree that lynx is just playing the game. When the others are bitching to him he does his best to seem like he’s agreeing with them yet says very neutral things - a bit like: ‘oh really? That’s intense. Not good.’ Etc. He’s a big old fakey fakerson and will coast to the final.

Twinx has grown on me and shes really shown the others up for the horrible people they are. Lynx is an idiot, rihanna I don't like but I hate what Omar is doing to ther in there. Bb should be pulling him up on that abusive behaviour.

And I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to like Twinks…

Me too. Didn’t disagree with a word.

Also loved Kate Lawler’s top!

I was watching the main show tonight with dd15 and 2 of her closest friends. They could see Omar for what he is…an immature little boy who is so concerned about his image and what his friends say, that he resorts to controlling behaviour to protect that “image”. He feels inferior to her because she comes from money and his way of dealing with that is to bring her down. To keep her on her toes. Telling her to fix up. A toxic relationship that has descended into an emotionally abusive one.

If any man told my DD to fix up after treating her like shit, he’d need to run very fast. Or he will be fixing up his teeth.

He’s the type to say “don’t fucking show me up” to his gf when out with his mates. The type to turn nasty once they get home. The type to say “but I don’t hit you so how can I be abusive?”. The type to turn it all around on her so that she constantly second guessing herself. The type that doesn’t need to raise his hands or fists because he does it with his words, actions and threats.

Lots of us on here can see it because so many of us have experienced similar at some stages in our lives. We see you Omar and we know exactly where this is heading.

Gaslighter

Omar is going to be paranoid for the next few days. He is heavily trying to justify his actions because he know they're wrong and he know everyone will have seen what he did.

I reckon Rhianna has only gone back to him to keep the peace until she leaves. Then she will be off like a shot.

Same here. Genuinely worried for her. I am not keen on her, but no girl - or woman deserves this.

I think a LOT of women have experienced at least one relationship with a man like this, and experienced a man doing (to them) all the things Omar is doing to Rihanna.

It's chilling to watch it. 100s of 1000s of women are shouting 'GET OUT NOW RIHANNA!'
