Why can't Luke S laugh at himself?

[sofialady]

Is it just me who thinks Deana's jokes are only made awkward by Luke's weird reaction? Why is he taking himself so seriously? It's not like Deana's making fun of his whole family dying, he lost 50 grand that was never his in the first place!!

The first time she did it, she was drunk.. The girl couldn't even stand up straight.. What we saw in tonights HL's had he just laughed it would have been alright but instead she gets a cold stare and 'I can't wait f'cking nominate you'.. Seriously.. Luke S is lucky Deana is giving his mundane-ness a storyline.

All this Luke S pity and comparing Deana to Conor/Caroline is making me cringe.

[exoticrosebud]

i dont think deena was as drunk as she would have viewers believe...just think this was the opportunity for her to say it and half get away with it....luke s is a pussy.....should have told her in no uncertain terms to eff right off . not cry all the way to the diary room ..waste of space..both of em !

She was so out of line today. Who does she think she is? If someone was goading me like that i'd tell them where to go! :nono:

[Jake.]

Haters of Deana are using this bore as an excuse to load off their next shipment of hate. Simples.

[Donovan.]

I honestly didn't even think the Charlie comment had hurt him until he told her "I can't ****ing wait to nominate you!" I was like what just happened.

[sofialady]

She was so out of line today. Who does she think she is? If someone was goading me like that i'd tell them where to go! :nono:

Goading you over what?

This is the core of the issue to me. The push the button thing is so harmless yet Luke S is making it seem as if he just lost his family in a fire and Deana is laughing about it. It was his own stupidity that cost him 50k. To me it's a flaw in him that he can't seem to laugh at himself.

[Marmalite]

Yep, that's because you've got balls like most of us and Luke S clearly doesn't.... well not without his boys Conor, Aaron and Becky to back him up.

I think today she went too far.

[sofialady]

I think today she went too far.

Can you explain how?

Deana doesn't exactly know he went to cry over it in the DR. All she said was lets call you Charlie because you have a ticket to the final. Hardly threatening to knock him out!!

The situation only became odd when Luke S took it so seriously.

No doubt if it was anyone else saying it he wouldn't care!

[Jake.]

It was his own greed that cost him. Instead of taking 20-40K, he had to wait for that little extra. He deserves no pity :idc:

[MTVN]

He can laugh at himself, like with his comments about make up brushes he knew he was taking the piss out of himself a bit and he was able to laugh when Conor was taking the mick over Ashleigh failing that quiz task, bit different when it's someone you don't like being a bitch though

She was laughing at him and going on about Charlie and the golden ticket. She wouldn't let it go.

[Jords]

He is so uptight and serious.

Laughing at Conor taking the mick of Ash is not laughing at yourself.

His comment about makeup brushes was not taking the mick of himself. He said it in the same monotone droney voice he says everything in.

And exactly there.. so Luke S is only mad because it's Deana saying it? It's the reason we've hated the insiders for all this time. It's one rule for them and a different one for everyone else, especially Deana. I thought his reactions to her jokes were sour and pathetic and the phrase 'get over yourself' has never felt more appropriate.

[sofialady]

She was laughing at him and going on about Charlie and the golden ticket. She wouldn't let it go.

Yeah but Charlie and golden ticket is not a negative thing.. She was laughing at the joke she was making. She wasn't saying anything negative about him. If he doesn't think the joke is funny that's all he needs to say instead of pretending she was personally attacking his character and demeaning him as a human being which she wasn't doing..

[Josy]

I think it's the fact that she just won't drop it tbh, she done it at first the other night and saw it upset him, said sorry but then continued to keep at him, then tonight we saw her do it yet again, she has mentioned a few times how low she felt when she's wasnt getting on with Conor etc earlier in the series so why keep taunting Luke S when she knows how it makes him feel? it's just cruel now IMO.

[Locke.]

Quite simple really... What Deana said wasn't funny.

[Josy]

Quite simple really... What Deana said wasn't funny.

^^Yeah this too :laugh:

I don't think I have laughed at much of her so called jokes tbh they all come across quite awkward rather than funny.

[MTVN]

I didn't mean Conor taking the piss out of Ash I meant Conor winding him up over how annoyed he was, when he was on the phone to BB and going on about Luke crying and laughing at him having to do that beans punishment. And I think he was taking the mick out of himself because Scott was laughing at him about it and he knew it was a bit of an odd thing to be an expert on

And yeah I would say it's more about Deana saying it, there's a difference between what was basically banter between friends and someone he's never got on that well with taking the piss, especially with a stupid joke like that, when it's the latter it just looks like an intentional attempt to annoy

[sofialady]

What the hell

[Indy]

Simple question - if it was Ashleigh saying it instead of Deana, would he still be mad?

I think the real answer there is yes. Just like he is any time Ashleigh says things to him that make him the butt of the joke. He's pretty awkward and humorless, and it has nothing to do with who the joke comes from, only that it's about him. He's much happier in things like the copycat potion - where he's the star and everyone else looks silly.

[Donovan.]

I think/hope she'll be done with it now. I don't think she realized that it upset him until he reacted. I didn't think she had either.

[Shaun]

Deana's repeating a very tired and boring joke, but to be fair I think he's exploiting pretending to be upset to get sympathy votes.

[rusticgal]

Its pretty obvious Luke S clearly regrets not taking the opportunity of taking the 50k...
If Deana cannot see that then she is stupid... but she is not. She simply cannot help kicking a person when he is down. I think he has shown a lot of strength in not rising to her clearly baiting him.
I think she has pushed the boundaries. She could well regret this and Luke S may well have the last laugh. If she goes on friday it will be because of this....and I will be laughing my socks off.

Did you see her face when she thought Scott had been on atask throughout.... everyone else found that quite amusing.....all she saw was Scott having an advantage over her and wasnt impressed in the slightest... All she can ever say is 'I would have never done that'... On the first night she didnt mind putting 3 up for eviction instead of sacrificing herself now did she???

So what if he regrets it? That's his problem not Deana's. It's the BB house, something like that was always going to happen to someone. He didn't lose anything he didn't have. He needs to get over it and stop acting as if he's lost his whole world.

I think it's kind of obvious Deana genuinely finds her joke funny and keeps making it because of that. Luke S makes the situation awkward by reacting like the robot that he is. Deana calling him Charlie reminded me of Big Bang Theory when the others make jokes with Sheldon and he's like -___-

She was shocked at Scott's task because she interpreted as Scott not being himself the entire time she knew him. Like she kept saying ''those were the best parts about you''. Now she doesn't have those, those things she found funny about him or didn't like about him, she didn't know what to think. She said she wouldn't sacrifice her BB experience to act as a pawn in BB's game.. That was what she said not ''you had an advantage over me''.

Deana's task was a one off and not something that lasted the entire way through. However she did have to handle the reverberations of it during her entire time in the house. People like Lydia and Conor taking an instant and lasting dislike of her.

Your logic is almost offensively stupid.

[TIGHAMADAN]

Obviously Deana thought the whole thing was hilarious because she repeated the Charlie thing ad nauseum.There comes a time when you can see someone is not amused ,hurt even and then you stop.You don't repeat the same joke all day.Thats humiliating someone, bullying even.

Luke said to Adam he did not need reminding by her constantly, so obviously she is relentless with her "jokes". When Luke said he was nomming her she just said a smirky f- off to him.She is being nasty and lacks empathy.

She is taking the joke too far.She is like a cat with mouse as she knows Luke S is mild mannered and will not get angry, she senses weakness and is moving in for the kill. He is an easy victim.
Deana has played a good game the whole way through.She has been clever and manipulative.
She did not just mention the Charlie thing but offered to pay 50 grand for it too. She said it in front of everyone too, which trebled the embarrassment.She is picking on him.

She knows Luke is upset so why persist.She creates an uncomfortable silence when she starts up.Deana is wrong here.

[the truth]

luke s is a pretty complex character....hes into everything, he cooks, he knits, he trains, he studies nutrition, hes into all sorts of fashion, hes macho, yet hes camp too, hes controlled, yet he also keeps his cool under pressure, hes not particularly aggressive, yet he can be snappy at times, hes really into pampering his girlfriend too and has an atrocious tatoo on his biceps....etc even the shrink on big brother is bemused by this enigma

Luke S has gone up my estimation again. The man has the patience of a saint! ;)

[ransom]

He's so infuriatingly boring and it's mainly because he takes himself so seriously. He might actually have a decent fanbase if he could laugh at himself and others. Unfortunately though the fact is he's a dreadful bore and will be the first out on finals night.

Also, Luke S mild mannered and unable to get angry? We must be watching different shows because the few times Luke S has been involved in anything noteworthy he started beating furniture up after Benedict left. He also told Deana she had "started a war" when she questioned his showmance with the tramp. Deana promptly shut him up though.

he really isnt that bad tbh.....I have a theory that I bet is true....my theory is , he was bullied at school and decided to go into himself, training his body and studying and looking for personal improvement, to shield himself from lifes dangers and bullies....this is why he chooses not to laugh at himself in the house, because he fears it may descend into mocking or bullying.. that smy theory

[toronto_matt]

Luke S has gone up my estimation again. The man has the patience of a saint! ;)

its not about him having patience, its about him not having anything to say back. he may be a nice guy but hes got the personality of a wounded badger lost in the woods. he needs to get back in touch with his manhood. ask luke for some of that testosterone! stop moaningggggg, whhhaaaaa whhaaaaa

alpha male behaviour is banned on bb years ago, if a man defends himsef , the woman cries and they all rally around her, then the man gets labelled a misogynist bully boy...a hetrosexual man is told to man up when he gets abused, yet hes not actually to man up? bb has become a totalitarian state where men cannot be men....note too how we all laughed as sara when to gran the naked servants private parts, then imagine what would happen if a man did that to half naked females...double standards everywhere......luke s has barely any choice but to keep his mouth shut

[jet]

Oh come on! He could make a bigger deal out of her taunting than he is. He is being very restrained and he accepted her apology right away with good grace - but she is still goading him.
If someone was doing that to her and she was as dignified about it, you would be practically kissing her feet.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Luke S is just a major hypocrite and is delusional. He's somehow convinced Deana is so greedy when he's crying about missing out on $50,000, but somehow he's convinced himself that he didn't press the button. He's boringly offensive and offensively boring, which is one of the worst combos for a Housemate. He's been playing the game the whole time, just nobody cares to talk about it because he's so bad at it :joker:

Would you rather he spoke to her like Conor would if she was goading him? (But she wouldn't goad Conor, would she?) Bullies go for those who are weaker /nicer.

Luke S should be lucky he's stayed this long and stop moping around and take it like a man.

Deana is being a hypocritic. She felt she couldn't be herself and talk without someone making a bad comment about the things she said, so she turns around and start saying **** about others and acts like a bitch. The girl needs to really grow up a lot. Maybe she things he is so hated she can make fun of him and everyone will love her?

Great post. You are spot on.

[AshesonMars]

what sexist drivel...maybe you should take it like a woman:dance:

I love how men whine about 'sexism' at a drop of a hat nowadays. Where in the world do men have to ask their wives permission if they can leave the home, or have pain relief or have an operation they need? Where in the world are men denied the right to work, to vote, to drive or travel alone? Where in the world are men denied the right to a full and proper education? Where in the world are men having their genitals mutilated because sex is for the pleasure of women, and in some regions of the world, women even have their genitals sewn up to 'punish' them during penetration and to prolong the suffering of childbirth, with most women dying an agonising and slow death. Where in the world are baby boys being murdered like girls are in China? Where in the world are they being sold into the sex industry to be penetrated by perverts who don't give a fig how much pain and suffering they cause, like little girls are in Cambodia et al? When has there ever been a Holocaust against men by female hands like there was against women for centuries (witch burning)?

Get a grip and stop trivialising real sexism.

Exactly. She is only doing what he has tried to do to her. They have both tried humiliating eachother about their love of money. The only difference is that Deana is better at it than Luke and wasn't as affected by his attempts.

[Jimrod]

And now he's somehow convinced himself that he never pressed the button. Geez he's so thick and playing the game so badly.

I don't think he's thick - this is just typical ego-maniac behaviour. Many bosses of companies and the like actually convince themselves they can't make mistakes, if called on it, even with evidence it doesn't register and they still deny or shift blame.

Deana is a stronger personality than Luke and he can't deal with it, which is why he has no answer - he can't be wrong in his mind but he has no comeback to the person with a stronger ego. The same reason he couldn't say much about the "Charlie" comments - his only logical answer in his mind is "I'm not called Charlie, I'm called Luke". She has mentally broken him as a horse trainer would a stallion and he cannot recover from that.

[asteve001]

It's amazing how the so called alpha male has fallen so far, a little Charlie and the Chocolate Factory teasing has exposed his delicate nature.

[Angus]

It's the Freddie effect - the public turned on him when, in their eyes, he became too cocky when he laughed at his main tormentor Lisa for being up for eviction. Instead of understanding his entirely normal reaction, he overnight became public enemy no. 1 when the GBP sided with the bully. Same thing is happening to Deana now.

It seems a lot of supporters of Deana had put her on a pedestal as some perfect ice queen, and instead of understanding the very human trait of her wanting some "payback" for the sh*t treatment she's received from the insider gang, they have turned on her for taking the opportunity of needling one of her main tormentors throughout the show. Luke S should be thanking her for the undeserved sympathy he is getting now,

Fairweather fans are easily swayed:idc:

[MTVN]

When has there ever been a Holocaust against men by female hands like there was against women for centuries (witch burning)

Well in Finland, Russia, Estonia and a few other countries, there were more men accused and convicted of being witches than there were women

[optimisticcynic]

Deana most likely and very understandably detests every single member of the Insiders as she has put up with their systematic victimisation for 8 weeks. The resentment will not just be towards the main aggressors Conor, Caroline and *******igh, but also towards their henchmen who would sit laughing with them whilst they bitched. Luke S is one of these people, as is Scott. When you are targeted, people who laugh with the aggressors are just as hurtful, and there is no earthly reason why Deana should forgive and forget just because Conor's won 50k and Becky's been booted out.
When Luke S wanted to demonstrate that Deana was materialistic to cement his status in the pack, where was his compassion. Deana is now evening the score and demonstrating that without a gang behind them, they are vapid and weak. She keeps at the same point because she is hurt and really angry about what she has been through, and at no point have any of these supposed innocents apologised to her for their action/inaction.
My only issue with Deana in this is that I don't find her funny. Bless her, she tries, but she really milks her gags and doesn't realise they're not that funny. She clearly thinks they are though. "Soldiers" was a slightly amusing concept at the start but it's been beaten to death, the buzzer gag was brilliant but she flogged that too, and the Charlie gag never took off but she loved it which was quite sweet.
Luke S lacks a personality and a sense of humour but this should not protect him from receiving just reward for his involvement in the anti-Deana bitching, which he and Ashley are still doing.

Nobody's "better than this". It's not even been a week since she was constantly being shouted down and belittled. Luke S and co. have repeatedly picked on everything she's done in the house. Look at Ashleigh demanding to know what had happened with the toaster when Deana was the only one in the kitchen. And now that self-proclaimed player and hardman Luke does something even dumber, Deana's a bully for getting her own back. I'd be taking the piss all day. You can't spend 8 weeks ripping it out of someone and then, when they find their voice, bow your head, start weeping and say "I don't want to play anymore."

And now that self-proclaimed player and hardman Luke does something even dumber, Deana's a bully for getting her own back. I'd be taking the piss all day. You can't spend 8 weeks ripping it out of someone and then, when they find their voice, bow your head, start weeping and say "I don't want to play anymore."

She's going too far in my opinion.

When she was winding him up the other night when drunk i found it funny and i did laugh but since then shes become like a dog with a bone she won't let it drop and it isn't funny anymore. I wouldn't find it funny if she did it to HMs i do like. I can't stand Luke S but to me that doesn't make her behaviour to him anymore acceptable. I still like her i don't want her to win shes my third choice winner, but would like her in the final, she needs to let go of Luke and have fun for the last few days.

Luke is an easy target because he's so mild mannered. He's handling it well so far, but everyone has their limits.

I wouln't be doing a jig if I had missed out on 50k!
He has been ok surprisingly I thought ...

Poor Luke S - his only hope of some cash now is keeping up the pretence that he and Ashleigh are an item:joker: When she goes on Friday and he hears the boos, he's going to realise the GBP ain't buying it!

Mild mannered? So when he came back in the house from the white room task and Adam dared to be laughing about something how did that go? I think what you'll find was that he was dropping his new weepy-nice-guy persona for a second, in the outside world he'd probably have tried to bottle Adam the way he reacted.

As deana would say AMEN to that :)

Luke S is basically what Deana calls him "a robot"

[Withano]

The simple answer is, he's an egotist. Anything that damages his ego is not funny to him. In his head, he's perfect.

[cassieparis]

Is it just me who thinks Deana's jokes are only made awkward by Luke's weird reaction? Why is he taking himself so seriously? It's not like Deana's making fun of his whole family dying, he lost 50 grand that was never his in the first place!!

The first time she did it, she was drunk.. The girl couldn't even stand up straight.. What we saw in tonights HL's had he just laughed it would have been alright but instead she gets a cold stare and 'I can't wait f'cking nominate you'.. Seriously.. Luke S is lucky Deana is giving his mundane-ness a storyline.

All this Luke S pity and comparing Deana to Conor/Caroline is making me cringe.
My take on this is Resentment.
Blaming others for what happens to us and how we feel about it.
Powerful stupid stuff.
