View Full Version : Evidence of Voter's Stupidity

On Friday night, the large majority of the voting pleb-lic were shouting ''get marcus out''. I am led to believe that Marcus was the most popular housemate to leave after Ken, so if channel4 had kept the phone lines open, the vote-beciles would have ruined the show completely.
Why do I say this? Well look at how entertaining last night was. For over 4 hours, there was entertainment galore, and all centered on Marcus and Norin. If the pleb-beciles had got their way, MY tv enjoyement would have been spoiled, so it is hilarious how they not only failed in their efforts at ruining BB, but also GREAT that they wasted their pocket-money voting :joker: discuss.
edit: to the morons below, you need to realise that we should NOT have to watch BB under the current system. We need TASK votes not eviction votes. You are classic examples of why the pleb-lic suck.

Hey Op
You dont get it at all do you. Your like Kenneth, who was willing to forgo his morals in order to get what he wanted. You would quite happily sit infront of your tv watching bad people do bad things, until when, where is your line in the sand.
Would you allow bullying Hm's to survive because they are fun to watch?, what about Agressive Alex from last year?
Their are more important things than damn entertainment.
It was classic BB last night loved every minute, but i nor my voting finger are slaves to my appetite for entertainment. I would suggest that fact makes me less plebic than yourself.

BB is a tv show. It serves as entertainment. Go and watch gardening or Alan Titchmarsh if you want snooze-telly. I, however, want to actually enjoy this (potentially) GREAT show.
i agree with the op
but you dont have to keep calling people pleb's

just put your point across without the insults

It's origins are a Fly on the wall Social Experiment. Entertainment is a secondary subjective matter as in, you are entertained by Marcus, i am entertained by Freddie. We are all entertained in different ways, seing it kick off last night with Tom and Marcus was fun to me but it was guilty fun, i was a fly on the wall and it was naughty but fun. But you are suggesting i should reward Marcus for being a ****, which in turn pleases my guilty pleasure.
I dont want to see BB full of The Hunters and The hunted. and for BB to fulfill my guilty pleasure to the best of it's ability that's what i would want.

I agree Marcus should be kept in. He's a one off and very entertaining. It's always the case that the most controversial characters get booted out soonest, which I can fully understand from the housemates point of view but not the public's.
I've always believed that the first few weeks at least, should be a public vote for all the housemates and the nominations kick in after that. JMO.:bigsmile:

Last night was very entertaining but knowing Markus is evicted and boo'd to high heaven then scutinised by the psychologists and made out to be an idiot is also entertaining. Knowing he'll be watching Siavash and Noirin getting it on from the comfort of his mummy's couch is also very appealing to me :cheer2:

Why can't we enjoy the boos in the final 3 weeks? (when evictions really should take place).
I can't understand the idiotic mentality of BB voters; surely all entertaining housemates should stay (by default) for 95%-99% of the entire duration, with votes going on tasks instead of evictions.
Sheesh, I despair at the ''logic'' on here :whistle:

If one wants a great show, why consult the public by letting them vote? They are not specialists at analysing, evaluating and critiquing what is good/bad for the show. They are ordinary folk, with below average IQ's and unqualified insight.
There-in lies the problem. 'Giving children grenades can be deadly.'

You're right there's no need to be offensive, but logic is logic.
There is a logical answer to all of this.
Entertainment = Keep in the so called 'baddies'.
Being Kind/Moralic = Keep in the so called 'goodies'.
Q is, which option is better? Well for me, this is television, which means entertainment.
If this was real and life threatening, I could appreciate the other side of the coin.

The only real solution, as I keep saying, is to simply allow channel4 to keep their revenue via task voting, that way, everyone's a winner. Channel4 get their money, the plebs can keep voting, and the great housemates (yes, ''badies'' if you will) get to stay and provide quality tv.
It is a downright farce that Endemol/Channel4 haven't woken up yet. They've had 9 years (yes, 9, not 10 to those who still think it's the 10th birthday) to figure this one out. You would have thought they would have reached this (obviously sensible) conclusion back in BB2 :rolleyes:

But everyone on this board is watching it. Why watch if you dislike it? Denial at liking the baddies?

The point is, yes, because it's entertainment. BB will intervene and get rid of HMs who deserve to be punished. That's their job.
Originally posted by PaulyJTheir are more important things than damn entertainment.
Well what's the point to BB, then? It's an entertainment show, not a moralic doctrine, so why are you watching?
Since there are more important things, why aren't you saving the environment or being a samaritan instead?
This moral code seems misplaced on a cheap C4 reality show.

It makes you contradictory and in denial about what you appreciate on the show.
Your logic is terrible; you watch it to be entertained, a form of relaxation and pleasure, yet you punish entertainment and reduce it?!
You enjoy 'baddies' but rationalize to yourself you're holy and that you hate them, by voting them out. You're in denial; you watch them keenly and invest your time/effort/energy/emotion into them. You don't care or bother as much with bores.
You are rationalizing and being delusional. Liking 'baddies' and watching them attentatively, but then voting them out as if you're a priest. Weird.
PS: Do you not care about having an entertaining show then?

I have addressed this before actually. But just to repeat; the idea is to have no evictions for the first 10/11 weeks, but then, as the series draws to a close, have the evictions in 2-3. That way, you ensure BB stays entertaining, instead of dull/stale.
And Iceman is wrong about it turning into I'm a celeb, as this would still be Big Brother, only finely tuned as to stop the vote-beciles voting out great housemates. It's a simple concept that should have been implemented years ago :rolleyes:

I don't know why, it's all very mysterious to me. Especially since viewing figures have declined since their glory days of BB5.
Entertaining yet controversial HMs rake in the viewers, yet a lot of these viewers and fans also vote them out.
It's logically erroneous, because they watch BB for pleasure, yet they then punish this by removing the HMs giving them that pleasure.
The reasons are, most voters are women, and most voters for BB are not intelligent. So they will sit there being entertained by these HMs, but also evict them; they do this to rationalize to themselves that they are good, moralic and actually hate the 'baddies'. But it's false, because they are engrossed to watch them.
But what can you do? Democracy is a shambles. It's like giving weapons to children. Ooopsy!

Like I said, you can go one of two ways.
Keep in the baddies for an entertaining show.
Keep in the goodies to uphold any morals you have.
The issue with the latter is the hypocrisy and false logic; you are actually engrossed in watching the baddies, invest your time/energy/money/emotion on them, and value their presence on your screen.
But with the former option (keep 'em in), it's all consistent. You watch them, you're entertained by them, so you keep them in to have more.
Simple.

As they said, it's all about how you say it.
I am actually in favour of nobody being evicted for ages. More HMs the better. The more personalities and stories, the better.
The smaller the group, the less goes on. Some say, well the stories get deeper and the HMs can get closer to each other ... but groups, closeness and stories form anyway even when there's 16 HMs.
More the better. People should vote for cool tasks instead. Better option IMO.
Then the places announced, 16 to 1st, on the final night.
