We're allowed to make judgements this early (especially considering we're expected to choose whose up for eviction) and it doesn't mean people will hold this opinion forever, so I don't see why it's a problem. Callum is dull now so I will call him dull, but if he turns out amazing then I'll call him amazing.

Agreed. I think Dexter might turn out to be a great character but so far he's been dull too. However, as you said, it's early days yet.

Remember how undull Cardboard Conor turned out to be. They have to be given time.

Anton (BB12) was also apparently a bore at this stage...I remember threads about get the bore Anton out.

We were right about Conor, he was dull, but on top of that he was a bully. Anyway I don't get this 'early days' nonsense. Why can't opinions change as the show progresses? What's so important about having one opinion all throughout?

I think you're entitled to change you mind, I don't see the problem with it

I've no problem with it at all. The point I'm making about Conor is that he turned out to be one of the talking points of the last series. I don't care if people call HM's dull, I don't quite understand it though given they have only been in there for a few days, but you are entitled to call them dull if you want.

Individually most HM's who enter the house are dull. It's when they start bonding and forming groups and friendships/enemies that they start to become interesting.

Opinions can and do change throughout.

I like Hazel right now - some people think she's boring and she may be, and it could change and might not.

The bit in bold says it all. If they expect us to put people up at such an early stage (which is silly) then we have to target those who are boring right now. No point sticking the current entertaining people up because they're more likely to continue being entertaining throughout the series. However, no one knows how the dull people of today will be acting in 5 weeks time.

Just like people need to stop going on about what is and isn't entertaining. Bitching and arguing is great to many, and not so to others. It works both ways.

Salman this thread isn't about being entitled to opinions, not when the title is incredibly rude telling others to shut up for not jumping in with the crowd that insists so and so is dull boring whatever else, it's only a couple of days in and already members opinions are being shunned, laughed at because they don't fit in with the majority, well that's not what a forum is all about.

This thread is about people who criticise others for labelling housemates boring. That's all it is, I know what thread I made

I Agree, Callam, Daley & Sophie are already labelled as very dull.
It seems that anyone that has been likeable over the first 3 days is labelled dull

You arent just judging other peoples opinions if you were you would'nt have made a thread with a title like this one.

I don't really care what anybody calls anybody, they're in there to be judged.

Though I do think people should remember that even applying for a show like this takes a lot of courage and I personally think that having the balls to go in this show proves that no housemate past or present will be boring for that reason alone.

Its not like they're doing what most people do most weekend, they're not sticking to a daily routine, they're not boring.

Perhaps people should start saying 'this housemate is more boring than the other housemates'
