Big Brother - New Series (Channel 5)

[_hazzie_]

I can't cope with how toxic they all are now... Arron, Conor, Ashleigh and Luke S are just unbearable.

[weatherconor]

Yes ^ the four of them are just so enraging and utterly VILE, it's beyond frustrating how they will probably be the final 4, its absolutely disgusting Conor hasn't even recieved a warning.

[JadeFan]

Oh my God yeah Conor and Luke S... eurgh.

[Betty]

I don't know what Ashleigh has done?

[_hazzie_]

She's always got something horrible to say about Lauren, she can't even laugh without enticing some kind of comment.

[Fire]

How the fuck did Arron get away with having no votes? I'm also very disappointed in all the housemates that heard what Conor had to say about Deana and didn't nominate him for it. Agreed that Conor, Arron and Ashleigh are absolutely fowl. To be fair to Luke S, though he does have his questionable opinions, he doesn't actively look for ways to display them the way the others do.

[Mushroom3]

None of the """""Cool Kids"""" are likeable whatsoever. It's ironic that those who sit around criticising the 'gameplans' and 'tactics' of the other housemates are clearly the most controlling and calculating bunch in the entire house. Arron getting no nominations is fucking sickening.

[PantoponRose]

Watching Arron desperately scramble to save some face in front of Luke S, in a shitstorm crafted by the hands of Deana, was immensely satisfying.

I'm really torn about this eviction. It would be so wrong for Deana to be evicted after this week, but I'm not ready for Lydia to leave my life. I'm just not ready, godammit!

Also, I know everyone hates Conor, Arron et al, but does anyone else really loathe fat Becky? She disgusts me.

I cannot stand Rebecca, she's vile.

Also, seem to be in the minority but I really like Arron/Luke S/Conor, even though most don't.

[SunshineConcubine]

Conor is disgusting, I don't understand how anyone can like him. I can't believe he got away with saying what he did- heat of the moment or not, what he said was really malicious. Emily got removed for being ridiculously stupid, and Nasty Nick got the boot for passing a note around yet all Conor had to do was apologise unconvincingly. Eugh.

[Fire]

Again, different network, different morals.

[_hazzie_]

Whoa, are we going to get another Nadia cigarette breakdown haha!

[Tribal Spaceman]

Where was Conor for the first few weeks, anyway? It's like he hid in a hole for 14 days and then crawled out and started acting like a bellend.

Lydia was amazing in Wednesday's show. She's so cold and calculating, she has to be part lizard.

[Mushroom3]

I suspect Lydia might actually make it through this week as she's the most prolific of the two and the public are voting to save. I absolutely love her of course, especially the way in which she gave herself far too much credit for her 'nomination gunging'.

[_hazzie_]

I hope Lydia gets through the eviction.

[weatherconor]

WHAT Caroline gets a warning but Conor doesn't, oh Big Brother your ridiculous.

[Tribal Spaceman]

WHAT Caroline gets a warning but Conor doesn't, oh Big Brother you're ridiculous.

I know, it's pathetic.

Adam, Luke S and Conor all remind me of primates, actually.

[PantoponRose]

Whether she meant it or not (and, let's face it, what we've seen of her so far probably suggests she did mean it) using that kind of language to describe a black men isn't on. At the very best, it's really, really stupid.

My heart broke a little when Luke A said how he thought he had done his (failed) task "for us", meaning Adam, Lauren and the rest of the Untouchables. I'm getting way too invested in this...

[Stacey.]

I'm praying that Lydia survives and Deana goes tonight, really think Lydia has so much more to give, rather than Deana just getting sympathy votes.

[Fire]

I want Lydia to go. She causes drama but she doesn't really get me as riled as the highly delusional Rebeckah from last year, she pales in comparison. Plus she'll be gone next week anyway if she doesn't go this week, at least if Deana stays she may avoid nominations next week.

Also, how the hell did Caroline receive a warning when Conor didn't? That just feels like it was done to be a big "fuck you, we're keeping Conor in no matter how many complains we get" from the execs.

[Mushroom3]

Have they got many actual complaints? I've seen a lot of Internet snipping (and a DS poll states that 60%+ felt that he should have been evicted) but the press usually report about formal complaints and drama, which I've either missed or is non existent.

[_hazzie_]

I think that they didn't think about the Conor thing properly until everyone was outraged by it and by that point they had already talked to him and it was over.

[Tribal Spaceman]

Why? It's not the seventies any more. If she'd called Arron a chimp (he certainly looks like one), or a ginger person an orangutan, for example, nobody would have batted an eyelid. People keep preaching about "equality" but what they're actually doing is tiptoeing around non-white people and treating them like special cases. That's really patronising and backward.

[PantoponRose]

Yeah, it's not the seventies anymore but the whole black-people-as-monkeys thing is still a common racial slur. How many times have you heard black footballers complain about racist crowds making monkey noises and chucking bananas at them during matches? Why would gorilla be the first word to pop into her head, other than for the fact Adam is big and black?

[Fire]

I've read that they got nearly 1,000 complaints. If I remember correctly when Dannii 'outed' Danyl on X Factor there was about 4,000 complains. So I'd say it's definitely a substantial amount if we use that as the basis for a ratio, given that X Factor is the most popular show in the country.
