Lovesreading - I'm so glad you said what you did - being a new member here, I really didn't want to word anything incorrectly or my opinion to be taken the wrong way - but you've understood exactly where I'm coming from.
This is what is so distasteful at times with BB - i.e. they put gay folk in with a homophob or white folk who have a real problem with black folk - they WANT to see a disgreement, swearing etc etc as it makes good TV.
Just like they often put in a page 3 type barbie doll type with a couple good looking young guys - hoping of course for the 'sexual tension' aspect.
Now this is what I so dislike about BB. Their aim is to cause provocation in one form or another all in the name of 'good TV' viewing.
Out of principle, were I to vote for a winner I wouldn't vote for Vern BECAUSE of the situation BB and the media/bookies have put him into and that is very unfair for Vern. I'd rather BB had put a group of little people in the house and not just the one. By having done this it naturally draws attention to Vern - his stature and difficulties living in a world of normal sized folk and negotiating huge furniture etc. It's belittling, humiliating and not in my opinion right that they did this by deliberately drawing attention to him in this way.
I hope I've explained this right
