It really depends...

Day is by no means overreacting, what Frank is doing is flat out wrong. You don't treat your friends that way unless they've actually told you BEFOREHAND that it is okay. As for what I'd do if I were Day... it's a tough spot. Unlike Tiff who is an active target in the house with few friends, Day has some allies outside of Frank and she's not really an immediate target. She could try telling Frank to stop, but it's most likely going to result in her moving towards the top of his hit list and without a lot of luck and key comp wins she'd be in a much worse position. By not saying anything, however, she's allowing herself on television and the feeds to be put down and touched inappropriately. Since she has a daughter it's even more painful for her to stay quiet because of the implication that she's okay with his behavior.

While I don't really like the idea of BB telling the hgs that certain things aren't allowed, simply b/c there are times when it wouldn't be an issue (several hgs, male & female, quickly and lightly slapping each other's butts after a sporting style comp would make sense, it fits with the context, random ass slaps do not), I think there have been too many seasons now where the female hgs are forced to endure the harassment or face negative consequences in the house for speaking up and something should change.

My concern comes down to if BB should make a specific rule & enforce it against sexual harassment. Is BB really willing and able to do anything?

Also, how would they label something sexual harassment. While Frank's actions are clearly sexual harassment this season, what about Evil Dick. He made some comments and actions that could be considered sexual harassment but he didn't limit himself to just going after the women, he was an equal opportunity scumbag and it made for an entertaining season. I wouldn't have appreciated it if BB had stepped in and told him to lay off the women (though I guess he could have simply changed his comments but really his offensiveness was what made him.)

I know I'm rambling... I guess I'm just not sure what the right answer is. I don't want BB to make the hgs walk on eggshells or risk punishment but I don't think they should allow certain behaviors to continue.

xx * I think it should be addressed on the show and Frank should recieve some internal punishment.
