Errr...I don't think BigBrother have the same authority to do so, alice.

Sam. That is my whole point. So what they are doing on BB is an abuse and not entirely legal.

[Sam Slater]

BigBrother are not required to feed anyone, alice. If the house-mates aren't satisfied with the amount of food they're getting they can leave the house and pop in to the first McDonalds they encounter.

Is it me or is BGAFD on drugs tonight?

[Sam Slater]

Duty of care? Only in the physical sense of fire hazards, slippery surfaces and the like!

Are you saying if I booked into a hotel for a week, bed & breakfast, they're legally bound to feed me lunch and tea as well?

Who the fuck cares? If you're on Big Brother, jailing's too good for you.

It's total swill - the dregs of society paraded before a comatose population who prefer to watch mentally-deficient people, with borderline personality disorders, doing nothing rather than doing nothing themselves . It epitomises everything that's wrong with our wannabe culture.

Still, at least it keeps Davina in work and as her talkshow demonstrated she is so very talented and definitely worth her millions per year.

Theres an awful lot of threads on this show when I though patrons of this very site loathed the show.

Quite correct, alice. So you'll also agree that if a contestant 'in jail' in the big brother house isn't satisfied with the feeding arrangements, he/she can literally walk out of his/her cell and ask to be taken off the premises?

You'll agree that contestants are only 'in jail' because they're playing a game where it's just one of the rules they're choosing to abide by?
