Why the support?

[rionablue]

Why do people still support Conor? Are they ignoring or forgiving his viscious rant about Deana and the way he is gunning for her at every turn? Name three qualities about Conor that you admire if you are a fan. How can ANYBODY forgive him for the sexual nasty rant he had about a nice and totally undeserving housmate?

[chuff me dizzy]

Could it be people have minds of their own by any chance?

[Vanessa]

I just like him. He's a great housemate. He hasn't done anything wrong apart from that rant. And he apologized for it. :dance:

I dont support him...I cant stand him but you can hardly keep harping on about that 'comment' regarding Deana.
IMO worse things were said by Caroline about Adam....but Adam fans did not keep harping on about it for weeks on end.

As people have said Deana has just about wound every housemate up in the house....even Adam and Luke... so there is obviously day to day things we dont see on the highlights... I dont think she is the totally 'nice' and 'deserving' housemate we you been led to believe.

Right, this insulting fans of a housemate you dislike thing has to stop. This includes calling them trolls or saying they support them just to wind others up. Everyone is entitled to an opinion without being labelled in such a way.

It's the anti Deana support. They are being contrary Mary's. :idc:

You'll notice barely any threads are started about anything he does that might be deemed as entertaining.

That you! I'm sick and tired of the fan bashing in here! Why can't we support who we like without getting abuse? :bored:

[armand.kay]

Conor is not even as bad as people make out he is just a ****ing stupid and aggressive.

[MTVN]

I find him funny, he doesn't take himself too seriously, he's one of the few this series just up for having a laugh and enjoying their time in there.. sure he has angry moments and sometimes has a rant and a bitch but he doesn't dwell on things too much or go around permanently pissed off and miserable, and he doesn't try and make himself out to be a saint either. He's a great wind up merchant as well, I know a lot of people might not find his sort of humour funny because a lot of it's just banter but I do, and even though he takes the piss a lot he's pretty loyal to his mates in there

The epilator rant was stupid but got blown out of proportion imo, and a single rant like that isn't enough to put me off someone for the whole series, and if nothing else at least he's been entertaining and a big character in there

Tbh that's one of the things that I find entertaining about Deana. The fact that she can wind everybody up with doing so little is amazing to watch IMO.

[Jords]

Could it be people have minds of their own by any chance?

You keep saying this, thats not a reason :)

example 1 - "I support rape because I have my own mind"

example 2 - "I dont like apples because I have my own mind"

example 3 - "Flamingos are actually blue because I have my own mind"


It.Doesnt.Make.Sense.

[arista]

The Irish save him

[smeagol]

people support him cause

1. there is so many vile people in there if he's quiet he looks saintly compared
2. they think he is good looking - spec savers girls spec savers
3. irish - im sure there's a few who just like cause of that reason only
4. they are racist - and support his hatred yes racists are alive and well sad but true
5. some just like to be different they think supporting evil over good is funny they dont really like him though ,some just like to go against the tide as it makes them feel special but truth be told they know whats what but like to support the scum as its against whats popular. and populr is a turn off.
6. some people just are weirdos lol even fred west had his supporters,

[Withano]

I would love to know any three reasons from a Conor fan. I can't imagine they would cancel out some of the stuff he has said though but please somebody give it a try!

[Vanessa]

Why do we have to justify ourselves? I don't ask why people like Deana or other housemates. We're fee to like who we want! :nono:

[Roy Mars III]

Doesnt dwell on things too much? ehem.. care to revise that phrase. I think its more than evident he dwells, oh boy does he!

Also they barely show him, I havent seen anything enteraining from him at all. All he does is laugh with that stupid hyena laugh of his

[Withano]

I gave you about 8 a couple of posts up :idc:

Yeah.. No.. They didn't cancel out discussing rape or threatening to punch a girl.

[Vanessa]

Yeah.. No.. They didn't cancel out discussing rape or threatening to punch a girl.

Not that again! :rolleyes:

[Yayita]

Amongst other things he's said about her and becky

the public don't support him

only the select few who are verbal about it

No I wouldn't, I mean he tries not to stay permanently miserable unlike some of the others

Yeah.. No.. They didn't cancel out discussing rape or threatening to punch a girl.

I don't judge people by one rant weeks ago in the heat of the moment :idc:

[rayheartbliss]

don't forget bout derry

[Yayita]

Not that again! :rolleyes:

Sorry Nessa, but its a pretty strong and true occurrence that must not be forgotten or forgiven. My femenist side just wont let it go that easily. Perhaps when he leaves the house we'll see another side of him. but for now that is a big part of what we have to go on with.

yeah that too

but hes also so sure of himself, thinking he can get away with things, probably why he said those to Deana

he also accuses other people of being sneaky, yet he and luke S are the ones who planned to keep in secret regarding the talk of nominations from the beginning.

there is no stand out moments from him that will be remembered after the series is over, other than hes unjustified attack on Deana. (which he can be proud of and an inspiration to the youth)

That happened ages ago. And he said sorry. :nono:

[Johnnyuk123]

Could someone please tell me what Conor has contributed to the house that makes him an entertaining housemate?

[Withano]

Could someone please tell me what Conor has contributed to the house that makes him an entertaining housemate?

Nope, nobody yet. His strongest argument so far is that something disgusting he said was ages ago

[Withano]

Nope, nobody yet. His strongest argument so far is that something disgusting he said was ages ago

And he said sorry

[Jordan.]

Terrible housemate.

[Vanessa]

We can all like any housemate we want. We don't need to justify ourselves. I find this thread offensive. :bored:

[MTVN]

Why does liking a housemate have to be such a complex thing where we're expected to draw up an essay of reasons to justify ourselves, I've given my reasons for liking Conor, if that isn't good enough then that isn't my problem really, it's not going to stop me supporting him

[rayheartbliss]

We can all like any housemate we want. We don't need to justify ourselves. I find this thread offensive. :bored:

and we can discuss as much as we want why we don't like him.

you're offended by most threads anyway because most threads are either a Deana lovin or conor hatin.


funny cuz its you who use to say how unforgivable what he said is during first time we spoke here.
:spin:

[rayheartbliss]

And he said sorry

and lets forgive him cuz its weeks ago :spin:

I don't get the point of this thread. We all like housemates for different reasons. :shrug:

Hooray! Yet another well thought-out, logical thread for us to look forward to.

Wow what an intelligent bloke you are. Well done for totally contradicting and debasing your own statement.

'and lets forgive him it was weeks ago' yeah...that's all right. But then you went on to say 'funny coz the last time we spoke on here you went on about how unforgivable what he said was' contradicts your statement completely.

You look like a biased idiot when you say one thing yet do another.

[Me. I Am Salman]

You can't just drop what he said because it was a few weeks ago. If he said it once he would say it again, it proved what a sick twisted scumbag he is.

Anyway yeah I don't get the support for him. He's not entertaining in the slightest.

[MrWong]

Could someone please tell me what Conor has contributed to the house that makes him an entertaining housemate?

This has been asked already.

The thread had two replies in 5 hours. Neither of which answered the question. Then the thread dropped to page 2 :joker:

[Redway]

Anyway yeah I don't get the support for him. He's not entertaining in the slightest.

I'm not claiming to have dropped what he said because it was a few weeks ago.

rayheartbliss is. And then he went on to have a go at Vanessa and say that (s)he finds it odd that her opinion on Conor has changed drastically because of the incident a few weeks back. Smacks of hypocrisy.

[Withano]

Seriously people get offended to being asked to justify liking their favourite?! You have the choice to ignore it.. But most people would love to give reasons for liking their favourite.. It's kind of the point of the programme!

You are quite right of course; you know a housemate is a bad'n when their supporters endlessly trash other housemates instead of writing about their chosen one's virtues.

Putting aside the vile things Conor has said, my main problem is this idea that he's 'fun'. I think he's about as funny as toothache. It's all false laughing with bared teeth: how many times did he squeal with laughter at something Caroline said or did, when he obviously didn't even understand what was going on. Then there's the stupid little games he and Luke S play with Becky, all for the camera, they're not funny at all, are they? They're just annoying really. If you add the fact that he holds onto a grudge like a rabid dog, there's not much to like in my opinion, but a lot not to like.

[rionablue]

Thanks to everyone who replied to the thread I started. Sorry if some of you thought it was pretty pointless. It all stemed from me reading so many people saying they wanted Conor to win, he was the best housemate, he shouldnt be hated or disliked. I dont share these views but I was anxious to know what people based them on. I agree Conor apologised but Im not so sure it was genuine. I felt that if he was genuinely sorry he would have laid off Deana a little bit. Deana is no saint either and I can see how she might not be everyones cup of tea but Conor hasnt given her a single break since the first night she nominated him and I dont like people who hold grudges. Interesting discussion though and again thanks to everyone who contributed xx

[AshesonMars]

You think calling someone a name is worse than threatening to ram an epilator into a woman's genitals and knocking her out? :shrug:

Caroline should have been kicked out for calling Adam a gorilla. It was disgusting, but I don't think, imo, it was worse than threatening sexual violence against another person.

I just like him. He's a great housemate. He hasn't done anything wrong apart from that rant. And he apologized for it. :dance:

He didn't apologise for it. Granted, Caroline's apology was, at best, pathetic, but at least she spoke with Adam in person. Conor never did with Deana.

[jet]

And he said sorry

I don't recall him saying sorry to Deana. When was this?

[Withano]

I don't recall him saying sorry to Deana. When was this?

I was quoting Vanessa, I don't remember it either

I don't have a problem telling people why I like Conor, but it does get tiresome when it never really gets taken on board or people can't accept it, and you just get shouted down or accused of being a fan just because of his looks/because he's Irish/because you're a racist/etc.

[Ramsay]

he's one of the main reasons i still bother tuning in

MTVN - You are one of the few people who have articulated why you like him and I respect your reasons and your opinion.
I really really WANTED to like him as I’m from N. Ireland too and I was excited that someone from our country was going to be on BB. But since his awful rant about Deana I just can’t like him – or anyone else who would say what he said – and the way he said it. I’m not a fan of Deana’s in particular (Scott is my fav) so it’s not about being a rabid Deana fan. What made it worse was that has never owned up to her and apologized personally and he kept the whole hate thing going with her even when she tried to sort things out with him. He knew what he said about her, and that she didn’t know, yet he still treated her badly. If he was truly sorry he would at least have tried to make amends by being civil and friendly toward her. That’s why I can’t forget what he did even though it was a while ago.
Apart from all that, I find him uncouth and quite thick. He seems to revel in the discomfort of others and his main reaction to any problem is ‘I don’t give a ****’. I don’t recall a single truly entertaining Conor moment – unless it laughing his ass off at someone else’s expense. And tonight he had the cheek to criticize Luke A to Becky for what he said after he said much worse about Deana! He has no sensitivity or moral compass as far as I can see.
I know you were a big Jay fan last year, as was I. Some people have compared Jay with Conor –but there is no comparison. Jay was far from perfect – but he had a good warm heart and a basic honesty about him. I see no redeeming features in Conor.
Those are my reasons for DISLIKING him and I just wanted to explain why in some detail.

That's fair enough, I'm not going to justify that rant or how he's been with Deana in general (even though I don't like her either and think there's valid reasons not to) and I can understand why people dislike him, although I think he does realise he's been a bit of a bit of a dick at times in there, I remember Caroline saying after her warning for bullying she mentioned that her and Conor had both agreed they've been more bitchy and stuff than they would be on the outside world.

I've seen the Jay comparison too, I actually think they are quite similar in terms of their humour and how they're both quite laid back and like to take the piss a bit, but I agree Jay was more open and honest. In some ways how Conor deals with his dislike of Deana reminds me more of Aaron, how he always just tried to keep away from Jay and ignored him when he tried to make amends although I doubt that comparison would go down well here :laugh:
