my view is, i would have prefered to keep the entertaining characters in the show up until the end, of course there not going to win it, but the best few weeks of the show wer at the start of the series, when these controversial characters wer still in.
There was a thread here during Week1 when people asked how the prog could be improved, and I said that the single best change they could make would be positive 'who stays you decide?' voting from Week1 with a minimum 3 people up each week. It would remove the deadwood almost immediately.
I got shot down though

been thinking more about this. They say its going to be a surprise for the HMs. so there wont be nominations. which means they'll all be up.ArmaniJeanss wrote: »I totally agree with this and its why I am not topping up at 15/1. The people in charge would I think a) be very wary of having him as a winner and b) find him much more useful as an audience grabbing solo evictee somewhere down the line.
Its not as if anyone is going to tune in especially for a Sara or Mo eviction on a Wednesday, so Rex would be perfect for the producers.
Hence my 'bold ifs' in my prev post.
I think BB has deliberately done this to get rid of rex and get him his own after show interview etc. if they are all up for eviction, and its who goes you decide, he'll go.
EDIT: think it might even be a double eviction, to make sure...0 -

Here's the poll on the DS forum on their favourite housemate...
Darnell - 9.57% (121)
Kathreya - 3.72% (47)
Lisa - 10.83% (137)
Michael - 9.33% (118)
Mohamed - 4.03% (51)
Rachel - 33.36% (422)
Rex - 19.29% (244)
Sara - 9.88% (125)
Rachel is nearly double what Rex is on that poll and there's far more members on that board.
Interesting isn't it how someone that's been accused of being boring by several people on this board can have so many fans!
Here's the poll on their least favourite housemate...
Darnell - 10.43% (125)
Kathreya - 10.84% (130)
Lisa - 10.59% (127)
Michael - 18.27% (219)
Mohamed - 7.09% (85)
Rachel - 4.00% (48)
Rex - 34.28% (411)
Sara - 4.50% (54)
Rex is by far and away the most disliked and interestingly Rachel is the least disliked. Food for thought eh?
I suspect Rex is popular on this board because there's that many threads cheerleading him.
I look forward to tomorrow's thread...
Who would win in a round the world race?

Jesus, by that logic Rachel is the most exciting housemate by far which is just bull****. I wonder why Rachel has only 4% disapproval rating... maybe because she never does anything bad enough for people to vote her least favourite housemate. As long as there is someone else in there they will be more controversial and therefore get more of a hate-vote. If they do one bad thing that's one more than Rachel will ever do.
You seem to equate fans = exciting. In all walks of life people are liked based on many factors. For a lot of people, loyalty, dignity and strength of character are very high on the list of desirable traits. People can prefer someone who's a nice person but not very exciting over someone who is a bit of a bully. Wouldn't you agree?0 -

I bet you wonder more why Rachel has 33% popularity and 422 votes when the impression you like to give is that she's dull and no one could possibly like her.
Why do you think Rachel has so many supporters by the way out of interest?
PS I actually find Rachel VERY exciting. :pac:0 -

I said there are ways to explain why SO many people like her other than saying "she has most votes in the poll so she must be the most exciting housemate".
Have I argued that she was the most exciting housemate? I believe I've argued against the idea that she was boring. If you acknowledge that she has so many fans how can you still cling to this idea that she is boring?
Is being boring a charismatic trait in your view? Come on.Call Me Jimmy wrote:And who am I to say that some people for some reason find her to be an exciting person but I haven't seen any evidence of it. Que you flashing those poll figures again and ignoring what I've said.
That's fair enough but up until now it's like you've been saying she's boring as if it's a matter of fact when the fact is a lot of people like myself are fans of hers.Call Me Jimmy wrote:Your logic is flawed because you have to argue that every year people are voted out in order of how exciting they are, starting with the least exciting (which you know is not the case).
How is that my logic? My logic is that you're not going to be one of the most popular housemates in there if you are perceived as being boring. I put it to you and everyone else that the fact she is so well liked is evidence she is anything but boring and I think it's a pretty difficult point to refute. 0 -
No you haven't argued she is the most exciting housemate but she is number 1 in that poll, so she is the most exciting. Seeing as ye don't seem to consider the fact that other factors come into it such as other people's flaws and her other strengths (loyalty, dignity, honesty etc).Mr.Nice Guy wrote:Have I argued that she was the most exciting housemate?

Course not, that's why I said it was her only flaw. And it's not as sensational a flaw as someone being a bully etc. Being boring should anger viewers more but it obviously doesn't, it isn't controversial enough for a witch-hunt.Mr.Nice Guy wrote:That's fair enough but up until now it's like you've been saying she's boring as if it's a matter of fact when the fact is a lot of people like myself are fans of hers.

Yea, ok. You think that it isn't possible to be a boring person and do very well in (if not win) big brother. I just can't think of any times Rachel has said anything funny/witty/interesting. Sure she replies to people if they say something to her, but if she didn't she would be a mute. She does say stuff like "So how are you feeling?" and "Don't worry about it" in fairness :P0 -

You don't seem to want to understand the point. She wouldn't finish top of a popularity contest due to other people's flaws. She topped it because she has fans and many people don't buy into the myths about her.Call Me Jimmy wrote:Course not, that's why I said it was her only flaw.

I can't believe you are still pushing this myth that she's boring when she has nearly double the fans that Rex had in the poll provided.
Surely if boring won you fans then Maysoon would have been the out-and-out winner?Call Me Jimmy wrote:Yea, ok. You think that it isn't possible to be a boring person and do very well in (if not win) big brother.
Correct. I don't see how you can be boring and yet be more liked than the likes of Kat and how you could survive a battle with the last of the eye-candy males Stu. There is a charm about her that many people enjoy and which her detractors refuse to acknowledge and/or recognise.Call Me Jimmy wrote:I just can't think of any times Rachel has said anything funny/witty/interesting.

That is a valid point if you only watch the highlights shows as they have chosen to leave out loads about her in recent weeks but if you watch the LF she has a lot of banter.
I'm sure there's still more to come from Rachel. :cool:0 -

WHY? anyone can be a good entertaining housemate to watch! doesnt mean they deserve to win, ahgin il refer to john mc cirricrk on celeb bb few years ago, he was the most entertaining to watch, but not for a second did he deserve to win.
jade goody inher time was one who everyone enjoyed watching, but again, not one that you would vote for to WIN the show, and prize money.
there was nothing crazy about my post at all.0 -

I never said she doesn't have fans. I think this popularity contest so far has been based around people hating people, not loving them. So if you don't do anything to piss anyone off, you'll end up top easy.Mr.Nice Guy wrote: »You don't seem to want to understand the point.

So you think this year's big brother would have lost more from not having Rex than not having Rachel? You think she's more entertaining than Rex? I don't like Rex as a person, but as a housemate he has definately brought more than she has to the show. If you are going to argue that she has, then I definately give up.
I had maysoon written into my post but left it out. You twist my words to imply I said "being boring is the reason rachel has fans"... I said that she has fans in spite of it.Mr.Nice Guy wrote:Surely if boring won you fans then Maysoon would have been the out-and-out winner?
Maysoon was too good-looking. She wasn't nice and fluffy the way rachel is. Maysoon is not someone you can feel sorry for. As I've said, people having a go at Rachel helps her a lot because she turns into an actual puppy dog. These things play a bigger role than you give credit for.
Kat has a very annoying quality to her and Stu was moaning for weeks before he went. I think the fact that he was associated with Silvia and that he was the one Sara went running to (leaving poor Darnell) meant he would have pissed people off. Plus, he was on the wrong side in the spitting incident. All these things count towards it and yet you still seem to see it as "if someone stays they are automatically exciting".Mr.Nice Guy wrote:Correct.

I Skyplus BigBro and i tell ya every time Rachel comes into the diary room, i hit fast forward. Even when shes tryin to be honest about her problems with people, she still comes across as very twee. I dont think shes boring but just too nice. Rex baits her all the time like recently when she said to him "Oh im glad you told me to my face" The he said he had been talking behind her back as well. She still didnt get angry and just batted it away. I think the thing that pisses me off most is when Rex is on her case she wont tell him to Fcuk the hell up!0 -
