While Seagull was recorded making a ‘Hitler moustache’ sign and giving a hand salute, Rudnicki was caught on camera giving the cameras a hand salute after seeing Diane remove a mustache hair. His partner balked at the move and even warned him that it was against the rules of the house.
The production’s official response stated: “We take very seriously the marking of Shaaf and Nathaniel’s raised hand movement.” There is no way to justify this kind of behavior, and it must be condemned in all its strength, even if it was done in humor. Throughout all the years of “Big Brother” broadcasting, the show’s production faced complex situations that required adequate and immediate treatment. In this case too, lengthy discussions were held which led us to the decision that it is appropriate that this important issue be brought up for discussion within the house.”
It was also reported: “Therefore, the daily routine will be interrupted, and there will be an in-depth discussion on the issue with the tenants led by Orna Ben Dor – film and television producer, daughter of Holocaust survivors, director of the film “Because of that war”, who deals a lot with the Holocaust in her works. The events of the last hours in the house will be broadcast In the evening program in detail and transparently. In light of this, the elimination and the additional entry into the house, which were planned for the evening episode, will be postponed until tomorrow.”
Finally, it was explained: “We understand that the decision not to remove Shaaf and Nathaniel from the house may be controversial. In our view, removing them from the house is the least complex decision, whereas this time we seek to deal with the matter with a different approach and deal with it from the root, believing that the discussion that will take place in the house will intensify the severity of the actions Of this kind, and will even provoke a poignant soul-searching among the tenants.’
