Default Is this twist discrimination?

Well what do you think?

It's not the guys fault that the females are more bitchy and argumentative so they then get voted out

They are doing it because too many girls are going, but yes, if it was the other way around there would be uproar. Where do you draw the line? All the blacks up for nomination? Everyone with green eyes up for nomination?

If they were needing evicting the public would have voted the ones that were up out, they never?

It's not all about the public, the housemates should make the big decision it makes it a lot less predictable

It is about the public and always has been...the hm's get to choose who to nominate and we choose who to evict.

And why would there need to be an equal male to female balance in the house, it's never worked like that?

If you are horrible to live with and get nominated you are more than likely going to be evicted regardless of gender, simple.

That's fair enough at least you have a reason for wanting them out I just think saying they NEED to be out to balance the male/female presence in the house is pointless.

oh no I don't see the need to balance it out, it's just that I think its time some of the guys went out, although, an all male house would be a little boring anyway... less bitching

I feel for the chrisses and winston but that's about it... the rest of the lads are just as bitchy.

It's as unfair as the rest of the twists and is a manipulation of the nomination process, I don't like it.

If next week is 'Boys Week' then the whole thing would be fair but if not then I think it's unfair on the male housemates tbh.

I think it is. It clearly shows the producers have favouritism towards the females over males. Yes the guys aren't that interesting although producers on a show like this shouldn't have opinions making it across into the show. They need to stay neutral and let the housemates form how the group continues.

I thought a male was going to go next week anyway. Maybe if they wanted a sex-only power week they should have done a head-to-head thing for each sex to fight for the power... I don't like how this girl only thing it too forcefully producer lead.

We've have producers manipulate this show all the time, especially with noms, but this is one step too far.

Wasn't true yesterday, Ash is still in, who has acted far more foul than Toya did, the voting public has a large proportion of teen girls who do undeniably favour hot guys

BB is just evening the gender ratio, it is meant to be a social experiment, it doesn't work with all guys/all girls.

I don't understand the uproar the girls are voted out first each series, theres no need to worry about a guy going, Ash/Marlon were going to be evicted regardless

Yes.. I suppose it isn't that fair when you think about it... I don't see them doing the opposite next week though.. They must be doing it to get rid of some of the male housemates though, because it's been 3 females so far.

There was more than one horrible person up yesterday and unfortunately for Toya she had a bigger mouth than the others and was involved in the biggest row.

And yes it is meant to be a social experiment so they have no right to interfere and try to even the ratio they should let it occur naturally.
