That is seriously sick. Imagine what her family must be thinking watching this Big Brother has gone too far. It has turned into a Brothel.
And when your heart begins to bleed, your dead
and dead and dead indeed.

Michael and Ashley are supposedly going to be on tomorrows (tonight now) noms show to explain the situation. I hope they get a fair go, can't trust Gretel now days.
Yeah they advertised it for 9.40pm tonight (Sunday) earlier, but then changed it. I heard Gretel say it was 'postponed' until Monday but I didn't hear why, did she giev a reason?

She didn't give a reason. I heard someone said legal reasons, but I'm not too sure if that is true.
I think it is just a ploy to get people to watch the nominations. The shows ratings have fallen a bit.

RE: Taking it to far.
Well I've seen the video of it just now, and I'm actually feeling a little sorry for the guys. In the original incident, Camilla jokingly said "you're not going to turkey slap me, I'll hurt you if you do" before it happened. She then laughed the incident off. She didn't protest seriously to them doing it. On the daily show Camilla explained how she had said no in a serious fashion to stop michael/john doing it a second time and that the boys had stopped.
Although it was a wrong thing to do, there was no way that Camilla took offense to it.

RE: Taking it to far.
That's how I felt too. I found out last night through an sms. At first I thought I hope the guys get kicked out etc.
Now after reviewing the footage, pfttt just give a warning and move along. I think BB took this decision more seriously after last year and how all the religion nuts/family groups had a whinge. After all, it is footage like that, that got Adults Only axed. Channel 10 was scared of getting their license revoke because petty women like Trish Draper didn't like it (even though she spent thousands of dollars on tax payers money on an overseas holiday with her boyfriend).
Rant over.

Yikes, I can't believe that people actually talk about stuff like this like its serious... I mean, I've not seen it, but from what I can tell she got boaby whacked (thats what we call a turkey slap, as far as I can tell) which is hardly anything to talk about.
On the other hand, Big Brother is viewed by mainly 12-21 year old girls, now 18+ isn't so bad, but I'm pretty certain if I had a 12 year old daughter, no way in hell would I want her to see things like this.
I actually watched a series through (UK BB, the series with Maxwell and Sashkia, etc) and it didn't seem all that bad, but there's still no way in hell that it's suitable for its main audience.
And the problem with the networks saying "We are aiming for a mature audience", etc, well... mature people think it's crap.

RE: Taking it to far.
It wasn't and won't be aired on tv. It went on the live streams and someone happened to cap it (record it). So when people cry murder (e.g. Trish Draper) we can say it wasn't even aired.
Also, if you had a 12 year old I would hope you would use your fantastic parenting skills to keep that sort of thing away from their eyes. That would be the right thing anyway.
