I hate the phrase "game player."

[Fuzzylogic]

I've heard the term use by both the house mates and on this forum (e.g. Josie is such a gameplayer.)

This term really annoys me, as since they are on what is essentially a game show, surely they are all game players in their own way.

Why do people see being a "game player" as such a negative thing?

i dont mind if they are a gameplayer in the house and against the HMs, I actually like this

but dont like it when they are a gameplayer against the viewer and acting a character, not being themselves
