Launch show tonight 9:00pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX. I understand that housemates actually entered the house last night and that part was recorded.

Broadcasts will be at the same time nightly, followed six nights per week by Late and Live, and then a live stream after that on ITVX.

Bring it

@ErmWhatever

"I boycotted BB after season god knows what in which there was a disgusting racist irish man relentlessly bullying an asian woman (don't know if anyone remembers?) I don't think he was ever reprimanded and ended up walking away with some money after winning a task. The injustice of it infuriated me and I swore I'd never watch it again. Wherever that cunt is, i hope his life is as shit as his personality. Nasty bastard."

I remember, his name was Connor and he should have been evicted for his racist bullying treatment of Deena. I too was furious about the injustice of him winning some cash, like a reward for bad behaviour.
He actually (semi-indirectly) threatened to physically and sexually assault her, and none of the housemates pulled him up on it nor did the Big Brother production team. He wasn't really criticised by the media either. But some of the public were unhappy about him.

Live feed was much better last night.

Kerry is reminding me more and more of Carole Vincent BB8

Caught up
I actually forwarded some of it the Wigs and the post room were the highlights for me - christ I thought my geography skills were bad

Zak is growing on me he tried to be diplomatic last night and seems genuine.
Really need to explore the live feed the hour show just isn't long enough

I know you don't like her tone but medically she isn't wrong. If you are over weight or obese you will have health problems. Saying nothing is enabling people. Gps aren't handing out gym memberships and dieticians they are pilling you up. The pharmaceutical company is the richest in the world. If you're depressed they are not referring you to a councillor they are giving you uppers antidepressants. If a small change can help to take one less pill wouldn't it be worth it.

She has health problems because her immune system is attacking her brain and nerves. I don’t think anyone can say definitively that if she lost a few stone her mobility would magically get better and honestly it’s pretty shitty to suggest it would. The woman is disabled and probably has a tough enough time with it without internet dweebs suggesting that if she went on a diet her problems would be solved.

Well, my morals are looser than a whores bedsprings

What a lovely turn of phrase Hmm

TellingBone · 12/10/2023 11:52

One thing stood out quite strongly on the live feed last night.

Zak does enjoy talking about Zak 😄

I found it funny last night. Surprisingly 15yr old DS came down to ask me something while I was watching and it caught his eye and he stayed to watch the entire episode with me.

I thought Zak came across well last night. He seems to be doing a fair bit of mediating and I thought he was really sweet when Hallie was upset.

Not sure what I make of Kerry just yet but I can see that Farida would be annoying in there, insisting that she’s involved in everything. They are both pretty vocal and opinionated so I guess it was only a matter of time before they butted heads.

ErmWhatever · 12/10/2023 12:48

@Confusedandanxiety Yep, that's the one. There's no way that shit would fly now. Thank god.

CampervanKween · 12/10/2023 12:54

Is there any way of watching this without adverts? I have given up as it's so annoying.

Commenting only on this thread, being a healthy weight is extremely important for the management of any illness. The pretence it isn't is similar to the pretence that sex doesn't matter. This modern world where we shy away from the truth really isn't doing anyone any favours.

TellingBone · 12/10/2023 12:59

I believe if you watch on ITVX and pay for premium it's ad free.

The poster did not say that though.
It is a fact for all humans that bei g severely overweight puts strain on you heart and lungs. It is a fact being obese takes more work to carry the weight. It is not debatable that MS and pretty much any health or mental health condition will improve if you are in better physical health.
Yes it is difficult to lose weight, obesity is an eating disorder usually linked to emotions. But you cannot say it doesn't affect health even if you do believe it is not their fault or in kerry's case that the obesity may well be a consequence of the MS.

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 12/10/2023 13:21

Just catching up on last nights episode. Loving the 3 bigwigs. Jordan is growing on me with his dry humour. Farrida is not coming across well and I think she will be nominated!

Zak, Yinrun, Hallie still my top 3!

Boomboom22 · 12/10/2023 07:26

I preferred Helen who won over Rachel the most boring person ever! That's why vote to save is so rubbish.

I think Rachel like Aaron won as a protest to their bullies. Not all win on their personality alone. Usually they have been treated badly or stuck up for someone else. It’s such an interesting game. All the annoying ones will be picked off and the last 5 will be Yinrun, Posh boys, Trish and whoever join their alliance.

Boomboom22 · 12/10/2023 13:28

Surely not Trish? She does nothing but bitch and judge. Hates all tories which I find ridiculous.

The original poster did though and I considered this poster was agreeing with that sentiment. I’m not disputing that being a healthy weight is of course preferable. But Kerry’s MS won’t be cured by losing weight and there’s nothing to say her mobility would improve.

Yes mobile with ms but I am absolutely hating the way Kerry is coming across. Shed is in that chair for being fat with ms, nothing else

It's very old fashioned thinking to say obesity is usually linked to emotions. They sometimes play a part but are no longer seen as the main cause. I went to an obesity clinic and the things they look for are hormone imbalances (particularly one being with g that I can't remember), sleep disorders, medicinal side effects, disordered eating patterns, and underlying medical conditions. They found the cause in me, over the counter anti-histimine tablets which I'd been taking daily for most of my adult life.

Did you know that 5 years ago scientists at Lund University in Sweden discovered that one of the driving factors for obesity in adults was their parents smoking in the 6 month period before their conception?

MrTiddlesTheCat · 12/10/2023 13:54

Anyway, back to Big Brother. I don't like Zak, he's the one who put his hand up in Olivias face to shush her. Can't be doing with that kind of carry on.

StoorieHoose · 12/10/2023 14:15

Jenkins face was a picture when Farida threw down the paper clips she had picked up onto his pile rather than back into the box!

Big wigs are fabulous as is the lovely Jordan

MrTiddlesTheCat · 12/10/2023 14:24

Just seen the sneak peek on Facebook. It's all kicking off over the shopping list. 😂

CherryCokeFanatic · 12/10/2023 15:27

Shopping list is always good drama and awful Kerry has already established an agenda on how she thinks it should be done in advance so no doubt there will be more disagreement when it gets to the whole group

So it appears Zak is a JD model !! 😆

I’m sure she isn’t overweight and yes, MS can affect people terribly. I’m sorry she is in a care home at such a young age, I hope she is getting the best care.

my point is, Kerry’s weight is also affecting her mobility.

Jesus Christ are you going to stfu?
