madsen is the ONLY funny one

[the truth]

yeah sign me up as a lifetime member....hes the ONLY person in there with any depth or actual real formed opinions...hes funny as hell and hes been there and worn the tshirt...hes also dry as heck.....if you notice hes a great story teller really dry and wry...hes a mster of ambiguity and subtlety.. you never quite know if hes joking or not..but he'd have me in stitches all day as he looks at life from different angles....(his bemusement as to the whole natasha giggs situation had me in stitches too)hes laughs at the absurdity of life and the situation hes in....and his thoughts sort of ramble onwards....so you never know what hes thinking or where its going to lead....

to be a great actor you must have a vivid imagination.......thats why hes played 170 different roles in 170 different movies :dance:the mans a legend...even if he doesnt get medievil on the other b listers....lets make him the first american winner of any english reality tv show ever...lets drop this anti american nonsense and crown him our CBB champ.......go mikey go mikey:elephant:

I've never seen any anti-American nonsense on here about Michael Madsen. As for the rest of your post... well, I can only agree.

Not on here...I mean in UK in general ...the fact is no american has ever won a reality tv sow in UK...the closest was david guest who was amazing in the jungle and rob van winkle who finished 2nd on the farm to jeff brazier? (do me a favor) even huggy bear got booted from the jungle...jermaine jackson lost out in CBB just because jade made shilpa a celebrity....but drik benedict should have won because he was by far the most interesting and funniest imho that year....we need an american winner BUT the southerners will vote for the eastender every time, sad.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Erm Natalie is just as funny! When she said tonight "Alright ****ing MJ" about Andrew i was pissing.

[the truth]

yea thats why natalie has been asked to play 170 different movie characters in 170 different movies across the planet , often by legendary directors NOT
Shes played 1 simple one dimensional character forever in a simple depressing one dimensional soap opera
sorry shes a straightforward person, she may be harmless, but she doesnt seem interesting or especially talented. for my money to be really funny you have to have depth and originality and be a great story teller. she isnt the least bit funny or complex or original....sorry nothing personal. Its just like saying some people have musicality, whereas in this case Im saying imho natalie isnt interesting or funny.but she seems a basic straightforward person

[the truth]

Erm Natalie is just as funny! When she said tonight "Alright ****ing MJ" about Andrew i was pissing.

Then obviously the Americans weren't the best contestants. Nothing else to do with it.

Um..not true I'm a Southerner and an Eastenders fan but I would vote for Michael over Natalie no contest

great good man...think for yourself...its pathetic to see southerners just vote for their girl or for taffs to vote thomas just because hes a taff or geordies ust voting geordie....I say just vote who you want to vote for

[Mystic Mock]

Coolio was the best when Ulrika won.

[the truth]

vanilla ice was the best on the farm...david guest the best in the jungle...coolio was infinitely better than ulrika was was just awful....yet the brits or the english just had to vote for the local person....just as they voted chantelle because 1) she wasnt a celeb so it would be funny>? NOT and 2) shes local. sorry but what did she do to earn it? what laughs? dont get me wrong shes ok but worthy winner? no chance....oh but they voted 1 non brit nadia..just because she used to be a man...pathetic

[the truth]

Then obviously the Americans weren't the best contestants. Nothing else to do with it.

no it was bias towards the english/british.....you want to tell me jeff brazier was more enteraining than vanilla ice ....ulrika more than coolio or whoever beat david guest? (I cant even remember the winner tbh) british shows take way too many cheap cracks at the americans imho....it often smells of envy and bitterness tbh

[the truth]

and jermaine jackson and dirk benedict they were in a different league to jade and her horrible mates

I’ll admit that I had preconceived ideas about what Michael would be like in the house and I was completely wrong!

He’s very relaxed and has just the right amount of cynical humour. My favourite HM at the moment.

As for the other comment about Americans not winning, they just don’t have the fan base here. The celebs they pick tend not to be huge stars. Yet some of the local celebs are very well known. The numbers add up.

[the truth]

the reason I put natalie and denise at the bottom is mainly because I know exactly what they will say next...they are totally manufactured personalities who know all the cliches to say to get votes from the dumber audience members...I actually test myself and pause the sky plus and tell my missus what each will say next...its that predictable....whereas michael? votes his confidant because hes a ffing spy and gareth alfie thomas because he wants his shades and could have called him a more masculine animal than a pig////lol...the main is unique and he actually has something so many people dont use anymore sadly IMAGINATION

Ulrika's Swedish, and it wasn't long ago that Gino d'acampo won I'm a Celeb and he's Italian so it isn't like foreigners have never won a UK Reality show

Actualy Janice Dickinsen came closer. David Gest was 3rd i believe, and Janice came 2nd on her year (behind the obnoxious Biggins). She should have won that year though.

.... he didn't say FOREIGNERS, he said Americans. Big difference ;)

[fruit_cake]

he's made me chuckle a few times, I was unsure about him because I didn't like the Reservoir dogs torturing thing but he seems quite a gentle soul really :)

[Bojangles]

If he stays he has a very good chance of winning.

[Livia]

I think he has a good chance. People will - hopefully - soon get tired of Natalie being pushed down our throats; secret task on the first night with loads of airtime... secret task last night with loads of airtime... and the "Oooo I'm scared of Andrew, I am..." bullsh*t.

I think Dirk Benedict would have won it if it hadn't been for the Jade/Shilpa fiasco. I hope Michael Madsen wins it this year. He's my favourite by a squillion miles.

[MTVN]

.... he didn't say FOREIGNERS, he said Americans. Big difference ;)

Yes but he said the reason for that was "bias towards the english/british", yet non-Brits have won before

I agree although tbf I do think Jermaine jackson would have won CBB if it hadn't been for Bullygate with Shilpa Shetty

I don't think he would have. Jermaine was showing a lot of Compassion to Shilpa that last week especially and I think that is what edged him into runner up place.

[lostalex]

I don't agree, i think Jermaine would have been a total bore if it weren't for the Shilpa controversy, Remember he's the first one that started saying it was racism. Shilpa herself never mentioned racism until Jermaine started whispering in her ear saying "notice what color your skin is, and what color their skin is". Jermaine really stirred that racism stuff. But apart from that he did NOTHING in that house. I just rewatched that season of CBB recently and i noticed that. Can you name any memorable scene from that season of CBB that didn't involve him telling Shilpa how racist everyone is? He really had nothing else to him.

hhhmmm, I don't remember that but I haven't watched it since it was actually on so I'll take your word for it. I just remember thinking he was popular

[the truth]

dirk benedict was absolutely fantastic....but he too was bullied by jade and the horrible mates of hers...yet this was ignored...at one stage they even mocked him because cancer had made him impotent whilst he was having chemotherapy....SICK...yet we brits ignored all that and instead jumped on the shilpa racism bandwagon .....a pathetic argument about coffee beans....ps at the ende of that humiliating nonsense H from steps opens the other cupboard and shows the a bag of spare coffee beans....that was lost on everyone including prime minister gordon brown who thought it was a major incident? we go over the top about soe things and ignore others...we seemm to have lost all sense of perspective or maybe our media has and we allow them to manipulate us

dirk benedict was fantastic...I believe the reason he nor any american has ever won is because we brits especially those on tv always take cheap shots at the americans and there is an under current of anti americanism.

[Livia]

Most Brits are not sheep. American culture is part of every day life and has been for decades... their films, their food, their TV, their music... Every day more Americanisms are being adopted and accepted into our language. I don't watch BB USA but I'm guessing if there was a solitary Brit in there somewhere they would stand little chance of actually winning. That doesn't mean Americans are necessarily anti-British.

[MeMyselfAndI]

For the first two shows I thought he was so overated and dull, But he's not:D. The last 4 episodes I've found him really funny and interesting.

I think the english are anti aerican and take endless cheap shots at them and never get picked up on it...also english people generally cannot take an american take the mickey out of them as we saw when the great jerry seinfeld mocked the royal wedding and the monarchy...the english generally simply dont see this, thankfully I lived outside england for a few years and got a different perspective

..yes, certainly different. I don't think Ricky Gervais was asked to host an American award show because he is British but because he's funny. Michael's fans like him because he's Michael, not because he's American. Let's not make this something which it isn't

I've lived and worked in several countries, including the USA. Perhaps the USA isn't one of the countries you've lived in, I don't know... I have American friends that still take the micky out of me via Skype and email, and good-naturedly take some stick back. Most people can take it without calling it racism, wherever they're from.

When Bill Hicks was alive he'd come over here and take the mick out of the English loads. I specifically remember a bit he did about footy hooligans and a bit he did about John Major among other things and the audiences lapped it up. American comics whenever they come over here always have a go at our food and accents (usually generalised cliches as they think we all talk like the Queen or Dick Van Dyke) and we take it on the chin. I didn't see the Jerry Seinfeld piece you referred to but I'd probably have found it quite funny as would a lot of other brits who don't give a stuff about the monarchy.

You do seem to be quite anti-English in the same way you're accusing the English of being anti-American. I think you may just be reading too much into the results of some rather crappy reality tv shows. The Americans that have taken part in them have hardly been the most respected or talented Americans in the public eye, or they wouldn't have been on those crappy reality shows in the first place, so you can't expect them to win just because they're American.

[Marc]

His nomination for Andrew :"because i think he's a ********** spy"

:laugh2:

[Bojangles]

I've now made my mind up,I want either Michael or Denise to win.Denise is brilliantly funny there's no side to her at all, and no bitching.
Michael has a dry wit which I like and he couldn't give a fig about the whole show,
He's just cruising man.

So it's fine for Americans to do that to us, but xenophobic when we do it to them.

Having lived here and in the USA, I'd say, per head of capita, they've got just as many idiots as we've got. My experience is that people are pretty much the same wherever you live.

no . yet again youve misinterpeted me. deliberately. we take the mickey out of the americans and all things american everywhere, on tv, in the papers and on the street. even in one on one situations we mock america and pour scorn on all they believe in...we claim we have ironic humour and they havent...we claim theyre insular and stupid and ignorant, yet we still march to war with them every time? they treat us very well over there. certainly they roll out the red carpet for us brits in entertainment and sports. but we do not do the same. as i stated theyll have an englishman host their awards and mock all things american...we meanwhile would NEVER have a yank rip the pis* out of us and our monarchy at the baftas....oh no no we must have quinessential englishman stephen fry ....every single year....for me gervais crosses the line anyway...hes not clever enough to have a laugh without going out of his way to hurt people...his endless atheist rants on mainstream tv are unfunny and totally and utterly inapproipriate yet the americans still give him another go

.as for bill hicks he was a genius who analysed and mocked the absurdity of many things including corporations governments etc he poured scorn on corrupt hypocritical governments and in fairness we did take to bill hicks...BUT we cannot accept the americans mocking britishness or the monarchy...that makes us hypocrites.

Please stop trying to feed me this concept that ALL Americans are accepting and gracious and ALL Brits are xenophobic idiots. I've lived and worked in Denver, New York and Washington and believe me, there isn't that much difference between the way I interacted with people there, and the way I interact with people here in the UK.

Ricky Gervais is so hopeless that this year he's been asked to host the Golden Globes again. That's not because the good old Americans are giving him another go... it's because he makes them laugh. Because you don't get him doesn't mean he's not funny. I didn't find Bill Hicks that funny.... that doesn't mean he wasn't, it means he's not my taste.

You have the idea that you're the only Brit on here who is not an idiot. I'd be interested to know where is was you lived when you lived abroad. I'm guessing it wasn't the USA... or that you've ever been there.

Michael Madsen is a prime example. How much support does he have on this forum? Even people who don't name him as their favourite agree that he's cool. I've hardly seen anyone say he's a bad housemate, and I've seen no one say they dislike him because he's an American.

Nobody's stopping Americans coming here and ripping the p out of anything they like.

Stop it now because it's just getting silly.

I don't know why you're arguing with me, I'm a Michael Madsen fan and this is a Michael Madsen thread. Your whole point for being on here seems to be to accuse others of generalising while you youself do the same thing. You're worrying about your countrymen generalising about Americans, while you generalise about the whole of Great Britain. What's even richer is that you've never been to the USA and yet you're telling me what it's like.

If you want to discuss BB properly, fine. But please don't bore me with any more nonsense or I will put you on ignore and you can rant away to youself.

Correct Livia

[lostalex]

I've never lived in the UK so i can't say anything about my experience with everyday Brits, but i do think what "the truth" is saying is consistent with my experience on British forums.

That being said, it really has nothing to do with the thread and Michael Madsen being a good housemate. I'm loving Michael (and the twins aswell) they've all carried themselves with confidence and dignity. It's the British women that seem to be having a gameplan and playing for the cameras. Especially Nicola and Denise. They definitely seem to have an agenda against the Americans.
