Vinnie during this episode

[Brad.]

Do any of you think Vinnie has been much more entertaining this episode, he has become a real character in the house.

[HellShark]

He is the alpha male.

Alex could kick his ass in a fight, but Vinnie just dominates him with his character. You see how none of the group challenged him when he said he was going to be the host? ALPHA.

[pixee]

Yeah he has "banter" which you get from sportsmen, been entertaining as for me

[Brad.]

I agree with all of this.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Fantastic tonight! Really great to see him coming out of himself more, this is the Vinnie I was waiting to see!

[HellShark]

I agree with all of this.

Where in Hertfordshire you from?

[Brad.]

Where in Hertfordshire you from?

Hatfield, it's next to St Albans.

[Stacey.]

hes been better :)

[Callum]

He was great at the end in the kitchen teasing Alex I thought.

[BigBroNewb]

definatly true about the alpha thing

think vinnie is taking alex's ego for a ride on todays show to see how far he can take him

[HellShark]

Hatfield, it's next to St Albans.

Hatfield eh? Went to Uni there. You hit up The Forum they built on campus? Thinking of swinging by some time soon.

[flatron]

Quite funny. A bit of a bully though, lol.
I actually find his relationship with alex facinating because it reminds of the relationship between one of my dads friends and my sisters boyfriend from when i was younger.
My dads mate was a nutter who had spent most of his life in borstals and prisons and my sisters boyfriend was an amateur boxer and a bodybuilder. They were having a fist fight within hours of being introduced. My dads mate took an instant disliking to him even though he was a very nice guy (like alex comes across). Its just like Vinny is my dads mate and alex is my sisters boyfriend. Weird. Maybe old school tough guys think the new generation are 'fake' or something.

Competely agree. I noticed the same things.

[WOMBAI]

He wasn't much of a sport in the 'swimsuit' thing. Immediately 'took' the role of host!

It is the banter you get between footballers with Alex been a sportsman he is probably trying the same problem is fighters aren't a team and Alex has a bit of an ego so don't know how well he will take it, so far so good though.

Ah awesome, the Uni is about half a mile from my house.

Maybe he is simply jealous of a younger, fitter guy!

[Brad.]

What's the problem with that? He's the oldest man in there and he understandably doesn't want to be parading down a catwalk in not very much. Anyway, he did a great job as the host, so it all worked out well in the end.

[Wildcat!]

He was entertaining, but I thought he was pretty rude. To Alex, and Stephen. BUt they both just handled themselves pretty well.
I dont know, I thought it was a bit iffy, kind of hiding criticism in jokes I thought. I could be wrong.

[Stu]

Doubt it, considering the money he is getting paid and the fact that he is arguably the biggest star in the house.

Nice predictable misery merchandising though. Much appreciated.

Opinion - nothing more!

I'm not a fan of Alex - not my type! But I do think that Vinnie is a little jealous of him - they are similar types - one is just a lot older!

Very insightful. I think Vinnie is a bit of an insensitive bully, and he hasn't got much finesse or charm.

ol, I would have loved to see him in a Mankini though!!!

I agree with you there. It could be perceived as passive aggressive bullying. Some of the stuff he was doing was schoolboy humour and just plain antagonistic. Maybe that's why he got into so much aggro in his life which in turn led him to made his stock in trade as an actor in lock stock etc by this reputation.

Kind of a Double edge sword if you like. Saw him in an interview once where he announced he was glassed in a bar fight and almost died. Felt like he picked on the wrong guy at that time with the same sort of behaviour.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I don't think Vinnie has got anything to be jealous of anyone about! He's made more money than all of them, two successful careers underhis belt and still looks damn good for his age.

He just didn't want to make a total fool of himself and knew he would do a damn good job of the MC role!

[WOMBAI]

Alex is a bit meh for me. Hasn't done enough on interest for me to gauge an opinion on him. Still, Vinnie has a house in the hills, movie rolls, plenty of money and a significant other. I can't help but notice that your judgement that he is jelous is largely [as per usual] baseless, off the back of the fact that you simply don't like the guy.

[HellShark]

If they were similar types, surely Alex would be jealous of Vinnie? A hero in his sport and a movie star. Two things Alex would probably love to be.

[Niamh.]

hehehehehehe

[Wildcat!]

Jealous of Alex? Geez, now thats a stretch.
I thought he was rude and like someone else said, passive aggressive, but he was like that with Stephen too.

What did he say again Alex was from, before telling him 4th place? That was rude too.

Never made any secret of that fact! But I do sense some jealousy there!

Don't see what the money, possessions thing has to do with anything! As I mentioned in another thread - a lot of that is down to luck and having the right 'look and attitude' for certain roles. I guess it gives such roles a certain authenticity. It certainly isn't down to acting ability!

[Deliverance]

Yeah, no jealousy there at all. Vinnie is as mentioned above, well established in the cultural celebrity stakes in the UK so no threat from anyone in that respect. I think it is just his personality that is grating and it could add spice to the house as such.

Possibly he just is the type who cannot suffer fools.

[pixee]

Is it just me that thinks it is just an ex-footballers banter with another sportsman?

[WOMBAI]

But you can't buy youth - and all that comes with it! Undoubtedly Alex would love those things - but I suspect Vinnie would probably like to be young and attractive again!

[lily.]

Do any of you think Vinnie has been much more entertaining this episode, he has become a real character in the house.

He's a *****ing star. I love Vinnie. I was pmsl at a lot of his lines tonight.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Do you find Alex attractive? I think Vinnie is far more so, even at his age!

[Deliverance]

Is it just me that thinks it is just an ex-footballers banter with another sportsman?
Might be a part of it but Vinnie picked on Stephen as well? Both are being bitched about in the house (a bitch pack is forming) and Vinnie is the leader of it. The two nuttiest lads in the house are being singled out.

I get what you are saying just that sort of put down banter, which can seem nasty or as though you don't like the person, for someone who was in a team sport is just part of getting to know people.

But he is a "proffessional celebrity" now so it may be what people are saying.

[lily.]

Alex is a mess.

Vinnie isn't half bad for his age tbh.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Alex is a mess.

Vinnie isn't half bad for his age tbh.

That's what I think too, Alex just looks like your typical meat head cage fighter, and he's got a saggy arse for someone who works out so much :laugh:

Vinnie is still a looker, in a rough and ready type way.

[HellShark]

But you can't buy youth - and all that comes with it! Undoubtedly Alex would love those things - but I suspect Vinnie would probably like to be young and attractive again!

****in 'ell. Young and attractive like Alex? Vinnie Jones is only 10 years his senior and a ruggedly chiselled adonis.

[WOMBAI]

Do you find Alex attractive? I think Vinnie is far more so, even at his age!

Oh god - don't get me wrong! No I don't find Alex attractive, Vinnie neither! I think that physically, they have a similar muscular, tough guy look - and I just think that Vinnie feels that most women would find the younger man more attractive and is a little jealous.

[lily.]

Thankfully I missed Alex's arse .. haha..

I can't stand his whole fake-tan, whitened-teeth, beefy look.. -shudder-..

He's perfect for Katie Price tbh.. he's about as plastic as she is..

[Deliverance]

Good point... anyone that would date Katy Price at this stage is a born loser.

Vinnie's line 'From the solarium... Mister Alex' had me in stitches lol.

He and Katie are a match made in hell alright.

[BigBroNewb]

vinnie was alot better in tonights highlights than yesterdays

[lily.]

My favourite line from tonight was: If bullshit was music, there would be a brass band in the lounge.

[Damaris]

He has improved.

[Deliverance]

Closing line from Vinnie for the show after he magicked Ivana into the house "Sisquo what have you done!?". Siquo replies "I don't know I'm still working on that". Great stuff.

Vinnie is going to be hilarious.

[flatron]

Jealous of Alex? Geez, now thats a stretch.
I thought he was rude and like someone else said, passive aggressive, but he was like that with Stephen too.

The solarium.

I do think its basically because alex is a cage fighter, but Vinnie wants the rest of the house to look at HIM as the tough guy and not alex, so he has it in for him a little bit.

As for Alex's looks. Im a straight guy, but ive gotta say, im really suprised by some of the comments about him being ugly and stuff. He looks llike a very good looking bloke to me...?....If he's ugly, i may aswell go and live in a cave by myself!

[lily.]

Thing is flatron.. don't believe what the media say to be 'good looking'. Women have a different idea of good looking than magazines would lead you to believe.

[Brad.]

My favourite line from tonight was: If bullshit was music, there would be a brass band in the lounge.

That was an epic line, amazing LOL.

[lily.]

I was in stitches at him. His delivery is class as well. He's a cheeky bastard.. I love people like that..

[dooey123]

Vinnie is the alpha male - he has to be the dominant male in the room. If he was'nt there it would be Alex and Vinnie knows this so he has to knock Alex down a peg or two, verbally at least although I'm pretty sure Vinnie could handle him in a barney.

[lily.]

My money would be on Vinnie too dooey.. :thumbs:

[chuff me dizzy]

That was an epic line, amazing LOL.

Line of the series so far ,one I will remember and use !!!

[flatron]

put them both in a ring and id put every penny i have on alex.

If they got into a row in a bar for example, it could go either way really, although alex should still really have the edge. Vinnie is no spring chicken. Alex is a younger man in very good shape and is a professional fighter (even though his record doesn't seem to be spectacular).
You ever see the footage of vinnie being thown to the ground by that fat black guy in a bar in America after someone had glassed him?

[dooey123]

Pro fighting with rules and street brawling are very different, I doubt Vinnie would be counsulting the rule book. Even I could push him over after he'd been glassed in the face.
Have to say Vinnie is the type of person that can be very funny when hes ripping the piss out of someone else but when it comes round to your turn not so fun.

Yep he got hammered and glassed and had to be hauled out of the place bleeding. Not a good thing to experience. Vinnie is a footballer used to taunting the opposition and picking on fellas like gazza in a clinch on the field with referees. He is doing the same thing now with big bro as the ref.

Put him in a real street fight then Vinnie despite the hard man attitude, will fall at the first strike. Hard man on the football field but not a street fighter. Alex would take him with one quick punch.

Although I think Stephen would step in between them and knock them both out with his Mike Tyson 2.30 a.m. diner taught uppercut to keep the peace. Stephen is the original streetfighter, keep the faith peace and all that.

[WAYNEEBRUM]

Vinnies a twat always has been.

[supergirthuk]

Once a thug always a thug. True colours starting to show Vincent! He needs someone to pull him up and knock him off that pedastal he has put himself on. I would so love Heidi to rip him to pieces. I think she has so much potential to be the Alpha in the house but I think she just cant be bothered.

[30stone]

Best thing he done..

Started hosting explaining everything etc.. doing it all proper..
Then after alex comes out in his suit and finishe's

His london accent comes, "get behind the screen son!" i laughed so much.. he kept doing it just to tell em that.

Certainly agree that he puts himself on a pedastal - very big ego - that many on here seem to be happy to feed! Not my style!

I don't see that Vinnie is going to be jealous of Alex. I mean, he may be older, but Vinnie was once Alex's age, and he's filled his life with a lot of living since then. He's smarter, richer, funnier and can easily outwit Alex. Actually, I have houseplants that could outwit Alex.

[supergirthuk]

Vincent has the fame and charisma and position that Alex, and his puppetmaster Katie, so crave. That is why Alex would never stand up against him. When Alex was having a go back at him in the kitchen at the end of the 9pm and calling him a tosser I felt the way he said it was almost like an teenager testing boundaries for the first time with his parent. It will take a woman to knock him off that perch and I think he may have charmed most of them already. Heidi is the only possible to rip him as far as I can see cos she doesnt do boundaries and as she says this is a walk in the park compared to Lesbian prison.

Have to agree Vinnie is a thug. That is who he is, he also has a wicked sense of humour though.

We're not having the same old "is or isn't Vinnie a thug" conversation again are we? :bored:

I think it's just the people who haven't met many thugs who're having the conversation.

[Stacey.]

imo hes getting more likeable :)

[mike888]

Notice that Davina tried to put Vinnie down on Big Mouth but the majority of the audience didn't buy it so he must be doing something right. He's the only real 'A' list BRITISH celeb in there, he's coming out of his shell and beginning to entertain so I for one am not going to desert him now. VINNIE FOR THE WIN!!!

[Brad.]

Good point Mike ;)

[supergirthuk]

Are you having a giraffe?

[Prole]

Are you having a giraffe?


No I'm not having a "giraffe". I'm perfectly in earnest.

[supergirthuk]

We're not having the same old "is or isn't Vinnie a thug" conversation again are we? :bored:

No we are not. Having watched him throughout his "football" (if football is kicking lumps out of anyone within reach) career and seen him develop into such a fine actor (sowing sides back up whist typing) who funnily enough seems to have been type cast as a thug/hardman, there is no arguement that he is anything but a thug. You dont get many upstanding citizens biting other peoples noses as "a prank" do you!
