Speidi coming 2nd is proof that...

[iRyan]

The public is becoming more and more accepting of game players and entertainers in BB. 3 years ago, they would've NEVER come as far as 2nd place. It's actually great to see, and thank you Channel 5 for creating a vote to save - it has ended up being the best thing about C5 BB. Now, if only the public's acception of entertainers and gameplaying had come a little bit sooner - then Karissa & Kristina would have been awarded their rightful winning title on CBB9.

Let's hope this trend continues with the regular summer series.

[Ramsay]

Oh god imagine if it were vote to evict, they would of been first out :(

[rusticgal]

Playing the 'villain' looks like its taking its toll....

[Withano]

Sorry but BB5 proves this wrong

[Amy Jade]

Sorry but BB5 proves this wrong
I think you missed the point hun...

[Apple202]

It could just show a smaller voting demographic now though

[Patrick]

Aaron winning BB12 was proof enough that the public are loving game players now.

[Patrick]

Sorry but BB5 proves this wrong

:worship:

[Patricia4]

Done a great job Speidi

[Conor]

I think this is mostly only true for celeb BB. Theres no way spiedi would have lasted 10 weeks, until the final of a regular series. As much as I loved them, their fame and the short duration of the series was mostly what made them last.

[flamingGalah!]

Aaron winning BB12 was proof enough that the public are loving game players now.

I don't think Aaron had lots of support because he was a game player, I think it was more the fact that Big Brother blatantly had it in for him & tried their hardest for him to not win...

[Macie Lightfoot]

Aaron winning just meant that viewership was small and the flukes of FB voting allowed the forums to control the voting as a fringe group

[Jack_]

I agree. I also felt that this time around the support for the 'entertainers' was more of a 50/50 split whereas I've felt in previous series that it's been more around the 35% mark on the side of the entertainment in the 'entertainment vs nice people' or housemate in the 'housemate vs person' debate, which has been refreshing. We've definitely had a lot more people on our side to help back us up which is good :joker: not quite there yet though.

But yeah, I hope this continues. We've got second, now it's about 1st. We had glimpses of it with Aaron (and he's still the best winner ever) but for me, he didn't play the game nearly as much as Speidi did. So hopefully we'll get there this summer...we have a lot of obstacles to defeat first though.

No MTV can get more viewers than Ch5 , at times.

So these 2 Freaks
were one of a kind.

[Stevep]

What's funny is that people constantly slag HMs off for being 'fake' and now here we are celebrating the fact that 'fake' HMs are being accepted?

Btw, i don't have a problem with gameplaying/fake HMs at all, but many on here apparently do and go on and on and on and on and on about it.............and yet here we are celebrating them.

[Ramsay]

If it was the ''MTV'' fans like you've been saying Arista, wouldnt the ratings of been way higher than what they were? the ratings have been the same as they always have, so it just shows that the people who have watched this series are the same ones that have been watching for years. not just the ''MTV'' fans that you seem so convinced to be

[Jake.]

Great post

Yup. Eternal blessings to Channel 5 for so generously awarding us the opportunity for a vote to save each week.

No as Rylan
got the Whole Country.

[Ramsay]

Laughing at some of the comments on the BB facebook page
Some people are calling fix that Speidi finished 2nd..YEAH

[MTVN]

It's just this billionaire backer of theirs :whistle:

[Skumbag]

The only people for whom a HM's game-playing is any kind of a factor are those who have a phobia of being 'taken in' or 'fooled'.
I suspect that most of them belong to the tinfoil-hat brigade.

When someone's so bad at faking it that it's actually visible, it tends to become carcrash TV more than anything else.

I didn't like Speidi for their 'entertainment' value, I didn't hate them for playing a role.

I just liked them for who they are.
And I'm sorry to anyone who can't accept that, but theyre just gunna have to deal with the fact that a lot of people see decency as human beings in them.

[RichardG]

Yes, and it proved they had far more fans than just the people on here as some seemed to believe. :hugesmile:
It's funny though how at the time, who will win seems like the most important thing ever but the day after I don't even care. Really, so long as the gameplayers make the final - that's all I really need. Ranking high is just a bonus.

[arista]

Did Rylan deserve to win Celebrity Big Brother?

Yes, he was fab71%


No, Speidi were entertaining29%

Thank you for voting

Speidi coming 2nd is proof that our society is becoming even more twisted by the year. Radicals are infiltrating the world today and its just plain sad. Applaud them for giving us some GRRRRR moments yes, but spending money on that dick so he can promote his petulant behaviour somewhere else is just plain rediculous.

Incredible that people get so worked up over pantomime.
Reminds me of the old ladies who used to handbag wrestlers when they fell out of the ring.

They said they were playing a game, how is that being fake? However Ryan said he wasn't playing a game and yet he obviously was?

[rusticgal]

The truth is its the VOTE TO WIN that makes the difference.... had it been vote to evict Speidi would have been out ages ago...

[starry]

Yeh vote to win is way better it keeps characters in longer.

[Kazanne]

It proves they were not liked enough to win:dance:

[Stevep]

They said they had 'tactics' in the last week of BB, before that no one really knew if they were being genuine or not and yet they had a strong following. And if it's as simplistic as they 'were playing a game' then surely anyone who throws out the criticism of being 'fake' should just accept that they are playing a game and praise them rather than to criticize them. You say because they admitted it it should be alright, but why shouldn't people that are playing a game, and their tactic is not to say they are playing a game, not be acceptable.

My gripe isn't really with Speidi, well done on them for playing a game, my gripe is just i guess a petty annoyance with people constantly using tired old BB appraisal and criticism cliches in 'fake' and 'real' anytime they dislike or want to support a HM.

[starry]

All of them are playing a game and none of them can put on an act all the time (for a full view ask for live stream). Ultimately we are only shown what the producers want us to see.

I think it was obvious Speidi were playing a game (as they all are) and obviously part of someones tactics is not to tell other people on the show what their tactics are, as they would defeat the purpose of it. The main problem is the audience, as you say, are tied up in the fake/real issue which is a non-issue, though you seem caught up in it yourself.

[starry]

It proves they were not liked enough to win:dance:

Rylan had won it before it started and they all knew that, he had the most recent tabloid fame.

ITS A TV SHOW!!!

Speidi have done so well! I love the gameplayers! That's why i liked Rex and Aaron.

Arista, why do you only use the daily mail, possibly one of the worst papers ever, whos columists are bitchy 40 year old women who constantly slander other women and make fun of their weights and appearance

[MTVN]

They do quite a lot of BB coverage though, and they always have good pictures in their articles

[Razor]

I am glad they came in the top two as they entertained me unlike some of the other bores in the house ie Gillian, Trisha, Adam, Claire etc....

... which demonstrates that entertaining and nasty is fine - but boring and nasty won't be tolerated.

[Niamh.]

I was very pleasantly surprised that they took second place, no one was ever going to catch Rylan but I never thought Speidi would do so well!

[minny03]

I'm still in shock that they came second. I honestly didn't think that so many people would even vote for them. So bravo to everyone who voted and kept them alive for so long. They deserved a place in the top 2.

Absolutely, as much as I disliked Rylan it was great that the two most talked about and entertaining HMs took the top spots
