    Big Brother - Russell Brand

    Was anyone else slightly worried to see Russell Brand (32) manipulating eighteen year old Emilia on Big Brother last night? It was truly cringeworthy, sleazing onto her, suggesting she perform some of her stretches in the diary room, on her own, wearing a bikini - which of course she did... I don't know, maybe i'm getting old, but I think it is a little worrying knowing that there are people quite happy to abuse their power over a much younger girl, in such a public situation!

    Is it not just as bad that she did it, all for her 15 mins of fame?

    Re: Big Brother - Russell Brand

    People are being MANIPULATED and EXPLOITED?! On big brother?

    She's 18, not a child. I haven't watched it, and won't be watching it, but I'm assuming she's not mentally deficient, so if she's daft enough to do it...

    Re: Big Brother - Russell Brand

    Well, she's not really a grown-up either, but hey. Yes, of course she followed his instructions - that's what worries me, she would have done what ever he had told her to, i'm sure. Russell Brand is a self confessed sex-addict, so I just thought it was a bit off to put him in a house where you see everything of the people in it (in this case young 'impressionable' people), and then let him manipulate young teenage girls for the viewer's pleasure

    Re: Big Brother - Russell Brand

    The whole program is sleazy, so why is this bit more remarkable than anything else?

    The entire series is based on a bunch of people being manipulated for the viewers "pleasure" (maybe if you are sado-masochistic).

    Have not watched and will not.
