Why is it that the british public still dont get Big Brother?
Come on, youve had long enough to try and understand how the thing works.
Why on earth would anyone want to evict Asileyne, Nikki or Jayne?
They are the people that are providing the entertainment.
What do you want to watch Susie drinking tea or Richard playing peacemaker with an underlying agenda.
Maybe you prefer to watch Mikey mumble or Imogen displaying stupidity that even jade Goody would be ashamed of.
I dont really see what all the fuss about Pete is either. Yes he's a nice bloke but so was Anthony last year.He's just a very dull nice bloke who is impassive the whole time never giving an opinion on anything.
The way it should work is the worse the behavior, the longer they should be kept in.
nice people does not good telly make. Just look at BB4.
This week either Susie or Richard should go or prefferably both. They add nothing.
I agree Susie needs to go

Seeing little idiots buzzing around in a cage is only part of it. The interaction is another...and that means voting out the worst idiots...or if you are evil yourself...keeping them in.

I think Suzie should go, she is just wasting her time in the house.

Unfortunatley Human nature leads people to vote out the most annoying/opininated HM's.Then people regret the fact that the house gets boring.
Maybe if we kept all 12 HM's in for 12 weeks and then voted them out over the period of 2 days we might get different results ,as the characters devlop and as people realise that they don't have to worry about missing out on a pretty face for weeks on end.

The main thing I agree with that about is - Susie needs to go!

Does it really matter now? There's only about 5 weeks to go now in any case, so it doesn't really who we evict now. :rolleyes:

Good way to look at it I guess. :thumbs:
But I still think it matters, because although we have 5 weeks I still would rather see entertaining stuff for those next 5 weeks..

US version of BB matey, the UK version is designed wrong, it should be a compitition, BB should be stressing about the money. i dont even know how much the prize money is! its like people just want to go in there for the "experience" but they should be in there because they want to win! the likes of grace, sezer etc clearly wanted win, & the rest dont.

Good first post Macca .. could'nt agree more !!!
You'd have thought we'd have learned to keep the erratic/mad/paranoid/opinionated housemates in, for our "cumfy sit on the sofa at 9pm while we laugh at them" entertainment.
If i had my way, Shabaz would still be in there now, annoying the heck out of them. ... gone would be Imogen, Mikey, Susie, and a host of other non entities. WE WANNA BE ENTERTAINED!!!!
....NIKKI TO WIN !!!! Even though she'll be gone on friday! Thanks a bunch you voters!!!

Trouble is some people find watching the annoying people just, well, annoying not entertaining - it's all subjective. I mean a 'peacemaker with an underlying agenda' could be considered entertaining by some.
And also Big Brother has always been a popularity contest where the point is to vote out the people you don't like. That's the reason Grace and Sezer were voted out - they were unpopular.

I think people need to realise that the majority of the public don't want to watch Nikki having her little tantrums all the time, she was entertaining but now its just got to the stage where people have had enough, i don't hate Nikki personally but i will admit i've had enough of watching her now, you would think shes 10 years old not 20 odd.

I wouldn't want to spend time with people I don't like so why the hell would I want to watch them? :laugh:
I wanted Sezer kept in but if people don't like you then you are screwed. It's a popularity contest at the end of the day. It is what it is.

12-07-2006, 02:23 PM
'You still don't get it'? What the ****? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, y'know. I don't find Suzie very compelling to watch either but some people want to keep her in there, why is it so hard to respect someone else's opinion?!
SNEEZER
12-07-2006, 02:30 PM
Not many people want Susie in the house but she doesn't provoke enough reaction to get evicted. I doubt most people who only watch the highlights show even think she's still in the house!
macca
12-07-2006, 04:11 PM
I wouldnt want to spend a single second in nikkis company but i want to watch her every night on the telly.
Yes i can see how her tantrams can grate with some but you know everytime shes goes in that diary room that you are about to be entertained (very much like Victor was a couple of years back).
Also im not sure why Nikki is one of the favourites to go. I think shes actually one of two that could actually win it (the other being twitchy pete).
Why does everyone think shes going? Theres at least 6 or 7 in the queue before anyone even thinks about evicting the lovely nikki.
Bells
12-07-2006, 04:13 PM
No, unfortunately the bettings and odds say she's most likely to go along with Susie. It's all a bit messed up if you ask me. I think she's brilliant, I don't want to see her go anytime soon at all. Fair enough if she doesn't win I guess - but seeing her go this week would be harsh and unfair IMO!

Hi macca. Great first post and I agree with every word. It is frustrating people will never learn......
It has been pointed out that BB is a personality contest therefor it is logical to vote out people you don't like.
That is correct up to a point but BB is more than just a personality contest. It is an entertainment to watch human behavour within the circumstances of a confined house.
People do not seem to find the balance between getting rid of people thay don't like versus keeping the show sufficiently dynamic and controversial to maintain entertainment.
A lot of people view life in a mind set that you could describe a monochrome. Life is just black and white. Don't like some one so get em out never mind the long term effect on the progress of the show.
Monochrome thinking is why BB fails. You are right people will never learn.....
You would not like to spend a second with Nikkie. Ah well..However I would like to spend any amount of time with Nikkie tantrums and all. I could be entertained all day simply enjoying the expressions on her face. She talks with her mouth body and face all at the same time. That is what makes her a first class one of the best housemates BB has ever selected.....
What a shame so many want to kill off any future controversy she could generate just because they are not strong enough to put up with a tantrum or two..What a great great shame......
The moto for life in general should indeed be "They will never never never learn."

Some great points there bananarama. I agree that Nikki is one of the best housemates ever selected. She would deffo be in my top 5. Yes we know that some of it is put on but thats just all part of the game isnt it folks?
Id love to see her win because it would be such a victory for the underdog.

I'm 100% with you if Jayne's not up. I don't dislike Susie as much as I once did, but I certainly wouldn't miss her. I can hardly tell when she's there now!
I don't like to see the entertaining ones go, but there's a difference between someone like Sezer or Grace and someone like Jayne.
I just cringe when Jayne comes on screen, waiting for her to say something inappropriate or flash her bum or her boobs or something. It 's just creepy, like Shabaz creepy.

totally agree with op. But i gotta say this year is the first year that i have not had favourite from the beginning. Seem to dislike virtually all of them more and more as the show goes on. I personally would like to see imogen or suzie evicted this week. I don't think anyone would notice if either of them went. Both ais and Nikki do my head in, but at least its entertainment.
