The Dreaded Letters from home

[Patrick]

Hate this part of the series :bored: Anyone else with me? It just bores me.

[Ramsay]

i like when some get them and some others don't...when they all get them its just a sad wee lovefest

[Jemal]

Never thought i would see callum cry. Hes a bloody soft man. He started crying because SAMs mum said he liked their friendship:laugh2:

Aye I agree with this - but then Big Brother always gives in and feels sorry for the housemates who don't get them, so it's stupid.

If I were BB, I'd give a letter to one housemate and then burn the rest in the garden. Just for a laugh.

Its too short it should be 13 weeks and to hell with the people that used to moan it was too long at 13 weeks.
letters dont mean a damn at 6 weeks or whatever it is especially when most of them saw the people writing them a week ago.

The letters can be moving at about week 11 when they havent seen any loved ones for so long but with chav 5 they might as well have them in the house with them the family are either housemates,voting or sending them letters every few days.

[armand.kay]

No I hate them.

[armand.kay]

I'm probably a heartless child but a letter from home would really not make a difference to me if I was in there. I remember when I went on a trip for 3 weeks my family wrote me some card really didn't affect me. Its not that I don't love them I just seem to be immune from missing people :/

[Gstar]

^ you're a heartless child. :)

The letters from home always gets me teary eyed. BB7s :'(

[Withano]

I like them

why would that make him cry do you think?

[CaudleHalbard]

If only the letters reflected the family's TRUE feelings. e.g.:

"Your behaviour in the Big Brother house has had the following consequences:

- Dad has to wear a motorcycle helmet when he goes out
- Mum and sister Becky have left the country temporarily
- Granny weeps uncontrollably - it's annoying other care home residents
- Your dog Fido has run off

Don't hurry back!

Lots of love and kisses from your family"

:joker:

[Jemal]

why would that make him cry do you think?

Erm tbh. Looking back on it, i can understand why he cried i guess.

yep its a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfest

Noticed Jackie Travers has told her daughter to DO MORE lol

[Tozzie]

Erm tbh. Looking back on it, i can understand why he cried i guess.

I wouldn't cry because my best mates mum said she liked our friendship. I'd be really happy to hear it but cry? it does seem a little bit OTT to me.

[Samm]

^ you're a heartless child. :)

Richards made me cry :bawling:

Mine would probably say 'shut up and stop arguing' lol

[Daffodil]

Callum's crying is tears of joy that his plan is working. Sorry to be so cynical.

[Jemal]

When your in that environment. And you make friends, and you didnt know what your friends parent thought about you, to then hear she likes your friendship 'and he can come back to (SAMs hometown, forgot the name) anytime' that will touch you.

[Tozzie]

Lol, mine would say 'stand up for yourself' I run a mile from confrontation I'm afraid :-(

I agree, far too much 'family participation' in this series, what with the twins parents, Dexters mum etc

they should not see anyone from outside, that was the original experiment, this is no longer an experiment, just a reality show

[Tozzie]

When your in that environment. And you make friends, and you didnt know what your friends parent thought about you, to then hear she likes your friendship 'and he can come back to (SAMs hometown, forgot the name) anytime' that will touch you.

Yeah, thats what I meant when I said, I'd be really happy to hear it, still not quite sure I'd cry though tbh, oh well, thanks for your input Had, I was curious as to why people thought he would cry.

[CaudleHalbard]

It stopped being an experiment a long time ago.

Now it has to compete with I'm A Celeb, TOWIE, Made in Chelsea and all the others/

[Jemal]

Yea no worries mate.
Hazel was the only one not to cry tho. And sophie i think.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I wouldn't usually mind but these days they slap a big sloppy ballad over the edit.

[anne666]

Charlies was demoralizing as usual from her lousy mother.Knocked her down then told her how much she loved her. What a bitch.:nono:

[Gstar]

Richards made me cry :bawling:

omggg, -runs to get tissues-

[CaudleHalbard]

Is the vid on the website?

Might as well get my crying over, now! :bawling: :D

[Gillian-73]

Hate them! Really wish they didn't do them.

[Patrick]

I agree with Bobnot, had the series been 13/14 weeks like the old days - then a letter on Week 11 would be fine, especially as back in the day they didn't use the silly music and montage editing over it. :idc:

But they aren't needed, especially as people like the twins, Sophie and Dexter etc seen their loved ones only two weeks ago in that task.

[armand.kay]

Your just a softy. :hmph:

Llanelli (don't try saying it lol though callums pronounciation was very good)

[the truth]

love the letters bawled my eyes out....but agreed better later in series maybe week 10

particularly enjoyed callums, dexters, ginas and sams

[blue]

i hate it when they get letters from home, no contact with the outside world then they get those annoying letters, same thing every year yawn:sleep:

[Jords]

Never thought i would see callum cry. Hes a bloody soft man. He started crying because SAMs mum said he liked their friendship:laugh2:

I think it reassured him thats he not a bad guy, unlike what the other HMs seem to treat him as.

Agreed.

[Lwize]

I listened for Dex and Ginas letters and skipped the rest.
