Default Polite Request re: Entertainment value!!!!

Can the digs about members not understanding entertainment and wanting the "most" entertaining out please stop. I get that we need to keep some of the bigger characters but people see entertainment in all sorts of ways, plus likability is a big factor (in my opinion Sallie really had this because she showed plenty of moments of having compassion... some of the remaining HMs do not!)

Its getting really tiring especially from the same members.

Also I have seen hypocrisy amongst wanting to keep in "the entertainment".
Most entertainment-seekers would probably agree that entertainment in BB stems from creating "talking points". I have just seen for example a Gina fan hark that she should remain in the house because of this, yet in the same breath want Dexter out, both who create such "talking points" (in fact probably Dexter more so).

And thus this leads me back to the bit in bold.


This isnt targetted towards any type of fan but its getting on my tits now

Edit: Jumping on the bandwagon accusations - stop this too!

I didn't find Sallie Entertaining at all? i don't define being a bitchy outspoken female as entertaining, yet the constant judgemental attitudes for wanting her out was ridiculous, we all view entertainment subjectively, and i enjoy a bitch, but someone plain nasty i don;'t find entertaining

Fantastic post Jords, it pisses me off no end the way some people year after year just don't get how entertainment is defined differently by different people and the same old entertaining housemate argument is so boring and repetitive.

If people found Sophie or Callum entertaining for whatever reason, i'd think they were crackers.

Its fine come evictions to say "________ must stay they bring the most to the house!! blah blah" I do this, but just stop slatting members and telling them they dont care about the show.

In regards to Wolfy and Dan, it's not that I don't tolerate different opinions, it's more that people want them out based on ill informed judgements that annoys me. Dan's clearly harmless yet there's a bandwagon people seem to be jumping on which perceive him as this big bad evil thug. I mean come on, he had every right to make fun of Dexter the other day after he threw him under a bus and couldn't provide a logical reason. And Wolfy is apparently a self centred attention seeker because she was distraught that the public think she's ugly and dirty.

People are also drawn to HMs because of likability you know.

I disagree.

Jack follows consistantly who are the big characters you pick and choose based on what you find entertaining (see: Dexter). Either way you both need to stop moaning at members.

Anyway this thread wasnt about picking at specific members.

Yeah and I wasn't saying anything to do with that that Jack post was just a throwaway insignificant comment, it has nothing to do with this thread really

I agree. That Dexter mention is also a good spot.

Certain members don't like that Dan is disliked for his bitching, but think he should be kept in for it. Yet they want Dexter out when without Dexter, Dan wouldn't have that platform to bitch about him.

Instead of picking out the bandwagon bit how about address that post I made about ill informed judgements?

That's something else I noticed about Dan bashers the night Dan supposedly made fun of Dexter's "stuttering". All of them failed to address people who conflicted their arguments (that Dexter clearly wasn't as innocent as he was being made out to be)

I don't want to address any points about Dan, tbh I don't have much of an opinion on him as a HM. The bandwagon jumping accusations bother me every year in general, not just because it was Dan you were talking about.

Definitely agree with this, happens every year.

If you dislike an unpopular housemate, or like a popular one, you are jumping on a bandwaggon
