Its called a 'remote control'.
If you don't watch this inane garbage then they won't have it on.

@ Sowetan. You have a really sick writter here to complain about Big Brother. Before the show all participants are briefed about the contents of the show and it is up to the applicants to withdraw if they do not like the conditions thereof.

I think the writter does not have alternative channels to watch like Animal Planet or Jika Majika.

The point being made by the writer is about abuse - and suggesting they use a remote control to change channel is missing the point. Changing channels does not mean the abuse will stop.

Similalry, signing up for Big Brother certainly does not amount to signing up for abuse. There are many conditions that participants understand - including the fact that you will no privacy at all. But BB also undertakes to ensure that there is no form of abuse that participants will be subjected to.

The writter is just lonely and seeking attention. This show is a crazy show. How many many were abused by Karen from Nigeria last season and why didnt this person complain then. This person is sexist and crazy.

"As Africans, we are against this abuse of women as well as gross violation of women’s rights on our television screens".

i am not too sure who this person is refering to because to start with abuse is irrelevant and subjective. what you see as abuse i see it as being competitive.

I will have to agree with the writer on this one. Women abuse on that show especially this season is so alarming to say the least. Prezzo and Mampi abuse Babalwa and Mampi respectivley. And the way they keep on swearing by women's private parts,really? the only guy who is being a gentleman is Roki.

Such behaviour truly has to be monitored as it make it seem right to abuse women.

I love the show still,very entertaining but at times verbal abuse is just too much.

If the person ("Apparent Victim") , in this case is Babalwa, doesnt complain, then the bid goes on....

if you dont like what you see, change the channel, Im sure Babalwa is old & smart enough to see and realise when she is been abused...

As for the s3xual one of last season, that one was very complicated, apparently the chick was too drunk to even move, and it was also claimed that she wasnt that drunk, in fact, she obliged and she was seen moving in enjoyment....either way, that's besite the point,

But my Question is, She knows it's live on TV, Why didnt she report it?, And I dont want to hear anything about victims not reporting abuse cr@p, that happens in private at home, not on a reality show......

@Gooseman - what a pity you decide to label me a disgrace without clearly understanding my comments. I was responding to the first three comments - and in defense of the writer - saying abuse is not acceptable - and that telling people to change a channel because there's abuse on BB doesn't deal with the problem. I am saying BB must take responsibility by ensuring that there is no abuse of any form in the house.

Because of tha comemnt, I am a disgrace.

What are you Gooseman?
