Big Brother Thread #7

Double eviction night 👁

Someone has found some very questionable tweets from 2019 on Trish's Twitter account.

I think I'll be glad when this series is over. I'm not sure I'm cut out for reality tv and social media.

That's what I'm talking about though. It's just so simple minded to think that anyone who disagrees with something you've said is the polar opposite in all other respects.

Like I said, was a fan of Trish in the house and would've liked her to win (not that I ever would've bothered to vote mind you), but I'm not so narcissistic that I believe that gives me the right to abuse or bully people who weren't.

Why are we all bullies?! Have I missed something..you're having a moan about someone labelling a HM while labelling this thread as being full of bullies?

Oh really? What tweets

I don't want to repeat them, but one I remember is her questioning if the p-word is "even racist" (but she uses the actual word). You can search her Twitter account for 'Asian' or 'Chinese'.

I hope she can get ahead of this and apologise very soon. I want to say, "we've all written things we regret" but this isn't so long ago and are really quite distasteful.

@ThisUsernameIsNotAvailablePlsTryAnother if people are breaking talk guidelines feel free to report the posts. Otherwise please jog on and find a thread you feel happy on.

I can't even find her Twitter account.

Obvs it's wrong if that's her and what she's says. I wouldn't defend that.

I'm also wondering if all the other HM's are being checked on their SM too.

Well, no I don't think I'll jog on. This is a thread open to everyone and I'm quite happy to stick around. Sorry to poke a hole in your lil echo chamber 🤷🏽‍♀️

Who said anything about Mumsnet guidelines? I'm talking about the amount of people revelling in the idea of bullying other people just because they didn't like them on a tv show.

Obvs it's wrong if that's her and what she's says. I wouldn't defend that.

I had that thought and actually went back to check, but I think it is. I dunno. I don't think any of us thought she was perfect, or anything other than human, but still... it's disappointing and I feel so disillusioned by the whole shebang.

That's really surprising to read. I've just seen a couple of screenshots on twix and was pretty shocked as she was heads and shoulders above the type of person you'd expect to be on BB. I guess we'll have to wait and see what she says about it, hopefully without any social media pile ons 🙏🏾

Her account's locked again.

I couldn't even find it when I looked.

Interesting comments about how we’re some very boring housemates selected.

does anyone know how housemates are chosen?

The main criteria seems to be being LGBTQIA+, having a personality will get you nowhere

Or having one leg and using a scooter.
ITV think that was Stella casting...
Next time get to know the person also.
They literally think yay we ticked the disabled box.
Channel 4 did it so much better with quirky personality s LGBTQ and disability.

Right who is watching the last epic 5 hours of live feed/ birdsong tonight??

Some of Trish's tweets are shocking. Most are old (not that thos makes it ok) but some were as recent as April 23.

Gutted. My view of her had changed massively.

How the hell did the producers not check this stuff out beforehand?

I agree, it was shocking to read those things knowing they came from Trish. The words don't gel with the Trish we saw in the house. Especially sad seeing her use the ch slur after her closeness with Yinrun.

But saying that, we all have the capacity to change and if we don't allow people to grow and move on then where would we be 😅
I'll be interested to see whether she addresses it or ignores.

That was kinda long winded lol but I meant to say I get why peoples views have changed on her but if she addresses it and makes clear she's learned then I think that's consistent with the Trish we've seen in the house.

She always seemed self reflective and open to learning/acknowledging her flaws to me so I do believe it's possible that she's matured since those posts.

Chanelle was so worried coming out.

Trish got loads of cheers

Are we sure this is def Trish account? I can't find anything about it online or even the account

I'll wait before casting judgement until things are known for sure but of course, if true I won't be defending it.

As for rest of BB, despite Fridays result I have enjoyed having it back BB and I'm even ok with HM's being in it that I didn't like, it is almost panto ish after all. After all, who would we moan about.

Be interesting to see how the week goes but I suspect with Trish and Chanelle now out it'll be a pretty calm week with maybe a surprise flash eviction thrown in earlier in the week

They gave Chanelle the hardest time yet in her interview

This is the account. Active when I looked. There's SO MANY tweets, up to recently. Disgusting isn't the word. Can't use the excuse this was ages ago... She was older than Tom at the time, not some 12 year old.

She has deleted her Twitter account now. What a mess
