View Full Version : Corin Why I find Corin boring

Her voice is a bit annoying but more importantly I find she doesn't string sentences together as well as some others and so is less communicative. Also her conversation and vocabularly may be more limited than some.

She is one dimensional, not really showing all her feelings. Not always saying what she thinks. Yet people call her the most genuine. She knows that by being a smaller character and also being amiable enough she is considered a contender to win and she isn't jeopardising those chances by opening up. I heard her let out a quick scream the other day, it's obvious she is holding back emotion.

The bigger characters who are willing to show their emotions are more interesting. There are more expressions to read in their face, more ups and downs to follow. But of course they aren't allowed to progress because by opening themselves up the audience pick them apart. The last winner who was a big character was Nadia and that was a long time ago.

Ok Endemol are giving her tasks to make her interesting, but that isn't enough for me. I don't find people who have to have tasks to be interesting that worthwhile. They did that with Rodrigo in BB10, but he ruined his chances with his tantrums.

She's nice? Yeh ok, but other HMs in there have been nice too, so nothing unique there.

People equate the show a bit too much with real life. The people that the audience watch the show for are not really just the average small characters who are reasonably nice, you can find them just walking out your front door. The people who make the show worth watching are the bigger characters.

The problem is we the audience and even the HMs know who are the contenders to win - Josie, Corin, Mario, Steve. Nathan probably isn't. The rest have there own roles in the show but they know they are considered 'expendable' by Endemol. In general this group will be used for arguments, to drum up some controversy, some hate. The audience I think have created this situation were the overall direction of the show becomes predictable and as the show progresses the audience declines.

Corin is the sort of middle aged 47 year old you'd find on that sad dating site Plenty of Fish. :D

Yeah to be honest, Corin seems lovely but people like her annoy me in real life. Like, they seem like they're afraid of saying what they think. Like if I don't agree with something, or if I think something is wrong or unethical, I'm likely to say that and stand up for what I believe in, there are particular times when I know it's not suitable and such (unlike JJ he seems to not be able to stop himself).

She's sussed out the fact that if you stay out of trouble you'll last longer! Just like Nathan, who is going to nominate the only one who cooks???

She stood up to JJ the other night at the dinner table, told him that it was a conversation between the girls and it was none of his business. I like Corin, she is witty, happy and can up for herself. Hope she goes far. :D

Rachael was a big friend of hers. I don't remember her ever standing up for Sunshine.

Ben for example. She clearly sided with him.

I far as I could see Sunshine gave as good as she got. Maybe Corin thought that Ben was right and Sunshine never listens. I am afraid we will just have to agree to disagree on the Sunshine issue! :hugesmile:

I don't think Sunshine suggested Ben had a mental disability.

Awww! I love Corin. I don't get why niceness is dull? I like her because she makes me laugh with her reactions to things.

Niceness doesn't have to be dull, but on its own I find it dull.

I find her quite endearing, but I also wish she would be more opinionated.

She's a nice woman by looks and doesn't avoid confrontation, maybe give her time
