Outraged Big Brother Fans Slam ITV Bosses, Demand Stricter Penalties as Sam Breaks Another Rule trucc
Big Brother fans have blasted ITV bosses and demanded tougher punishments after housemate Sam Ashby broke yet another rule.
During Wednesday evening's episode of the hit ITV reality show, the housemates were still suffering sanctions of no hot water, basic rations and no luxury items after a series of previous rule breaks.
But things went from bad to sticky when it emerged that Sam, 27, had been hiding a secret stash of honey.
Despite trying to keep it under wraps, cameras caught Sam sneaking spoonfuls of honey into his drink and his porridge.
Big Brother soon gathered everyone on the sofa, demanding: 'Housemates, what is it about the rules that you do not understand?'
Caroline grumbled: 'Oh no...' while a sheepish Sam muttered: 'Oh, f***'s sake.'

Big Brother continued: 'Sam. Stand up... Sam, have you got anything you want to tell Big Brother?
'Big Brother suggests you think very carefully about your next words. Sam, you've got yourself in quite a sticky situation. Sam, what do you have to tell Big Brother?'
The guilty housemate confessed: 'Well, I had some honey left over from the honey jar and, um, misplaced the cup of honey.'
Big Brother then instructed Sam to retrieve his cup of honey and bring it to the Diary Room.
However, once he entered the diary room, he discovered a gigantic jar filled with honey sitting on a side table.
Big Brother announced to the housemate his punishment, saying: 'Seeing how much you love honey, Sam, Big Brother has got just the thing for you... as punishment, you must give yourself a full honey makeover, face and hair included...
'Sam, there's one more thing. From this moment on, you shall be renamed Honey until Big Brother decides otherwise.'
Sam was then directed to slather himself all over with the honey, and he exclaimed: 'Oooooo, it actually feels alright... it does taste nice.'

However, viewers at home were less than thrilled with the 'ridiculous' punishment, calling for stricter penalties given the repeated rule violations from the housemates.
One disgruntled viewer fumed: 'This punishment is ridiculous, how silly and what a waste.';
'Caroline pretending she didn't know about the honey. Chuck her out just for that.'; 'Can big brother just grow a pair and put rule breakers up for eviction.';
'PUT THE RULE BREAKERS UP FOR EVICTION'; 'Big brother forcing Sam to wear honey/changing of the name when they could've put him straight up for eviction ugh.'
But things didn't end there. Viewers were further enraged when Big Brother rewarded the housemates after Ferida completed a secret mission, which involved convincing others that she had previously held unusual jobs.
One unimpressed viewer exclaimed: 'A TAKEAWAY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE? THEY ARE HAVING A LAUGH, THEY ARE MENT TO BEING PUNISHED!';
While another agreed, asking: 'Why they getting chance of a takeaway after skipping the shopping task, then breaking 286 rules as well?';
'Big Brother is too soft! Punish the housemates for breaking the rules one minute then rewarding them with a takeaway the next.'
Big Brother airs on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm from Sundays to Fridays.
Melissa Gorga Reveals 'Nightmare' Experience on Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition trucc
Find out what sent RHONJ's Melissa Gorga into "sensory overload" on Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition.
After jetting off to Georgia for Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition, Melissa Gorga instantly clocked some things that would never fly in her Garden State home.
As part of the social experiment, the perfectionist mom from The Real Housewives of New Jersey first stepped outside her comfort zone and adopted swap counterpart Michelle Clark's more free-flowing lifestyle, including lax rules for her three children (Sean Jr., 8, Phoenix, 7, and Maverick, 3), as well as a an emphasis on quality family time over household cleaning and organization.
After helping prepare a vegan meal for the kids — while she begrudgingly joined swap husband Sean Clark in a juice cleanse — Melissa encountered one of the experience's biggest challenges: going to bed with dirty dishes still in the kitchen sink.
Though Sean insisted they could just clean up later, Melissa still asked, "Really? Are you sure? I'm in sensory overload."
As the RHONJ 'Wife further declared to a producer, "Oh my god, this is my nightmare. I am in a different world right now. Like, we're just gonna go to bed and leave that all in the sink right now? None of what goes on in this house goes on in mine."
Melissa Gorga reflects on her Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition experience
Melissa noted that she joined Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition to learn "to just let some things go," after husband Joe Gorga said that her rigidity in their Franklin Lakes, N.J. home was "too much" to handle, at times. Post-filming, she opened up about the experience and what she learned in the process in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish.
Referring to the Clark kids as "the sweetest, most polite, amazing children," the real-life mom to Antonia, 20, Gino, 18, and Joey Gorga, 15, said she "couldn't have gotten luckier" to be paired with the East Point, Georgia-based family. That's at least partly because seeing Sean's hands-on approach to fatherhood taught Melissa a valuable parenting lesson.
"Everything was a learning experience," she elaborated. "I'm like, wow, I spent a lot of time with my kids, but I don't make everything a learning experience when it really could be. ... So, I think just with motherhood, it gave me a lot of insight."
Though she still keeps her house "spotless," nowadays, Melissa "for sure" channels her swap husband when faced with parenting challenges. She added, "When something happens with my children, I think, like, 'What would Sean do? What would Sean have a conversation about right now?'"
Having introduced more structure and organization into the Clark family's highly intertwined lives on the show, Melissa, in turn, also hoped that she taught Sean and Michelle a thing or two about the importance of taking some alone time amid their daily "grind" as well.
"Divide and conquer does work," she remarked. "And you can think a little bit when you have some time on your own and you're not together 24/7."
Where Melissa Gorga stands with her Wife Swap family now
Even after filming wrapped, Melissa said she stayed in touch with the Clark family — and is still in close contact with them today.
"I talk to them all the time," she revealed. "They're an amazing family. They're trying to come out to New Jersey to hang out with us. They're originally from New York, so when they come to visit their family, we're going to see them."
After Melissa stepped in to finish off the couple's 10-day cleanse — and Michelle whipped up some healthy beverages for the Gorgas back in Jersey — on Wife Swap's Oct. 28 episode, the Clarks even shipped her an appropriate gift.
As Melissa further shared, "They sent me the most amazing juicer recently."
