psychologists talk complete crap

[EatMyFlan]

I never agree with them. Terrible judges of character in my opinion.

[CaudleHalbard]

Are you qualified in psychology? :)

[michael21]

I never agree with them. Terrible judges of character in my opinion.

do you go to a lot of them then :suspect:

[joeysteele]

Well bbbots was pretty useless tonight, one panellist said that Courtney and Lauren were the 2 saved first when it was Charlotte and Lauren.
Makes you wonder how much of the show they watch really.

[EatMyFlan]

Not qualified to know but I do have my own mind and I don't tend to agree with everything they say....

[michael21]

so why make a thread on it this is bb section :nono::nono::nono:

[Kizzy]

I was expecting Dr Funke to be on standby with the necessary paperwork as I feel Lauren is getting more paranoid as the days go on. She hates Courtney talking with Sophie and if she's nominated again will have a meltdown.

I agree. Again they're brown nosing Lauren's family and all gushy when they speak about her but a good psychologist would surely think Lauren is terribly paranoid and insecure and obsessed with courtney?? Not impressed.

The people on BOTS are not psychologists. It's like calling Dr. Phil a doctor.

[michael21]

that 100% right

it like calling rylan clark a singer

I thought Dr Funke was but not the others?

[CaudleHalbard]

Not qualified to know but I do have my own mind and I don't tend to agree with everything they say....

But you obviously think you know better?

Just curious as to why you think you, as an unqualified person, think you are right and they - who we have to assume are professionals in the field (they present themselves as such) - are wrong.

Is it because they are saying unfavourable things about housemates you like and/or favourable things about those you dislike?

No, it's because it's obvious there are a couple of mentally unstable people in there and to not draw attention to it ir make light of it is unprofessional and I have every rigjt to have that opinion, as do you.

[EatMyFlan]

I think i'm qualified to have an opinion. I think the government are **** but do I have to be a politician to think that?? Your argument is ridiculous.

you do have a right to your opinion but this is the bb section why are you going on about psychologists if you don't like them don't watch it

[EatMyFlan]

Why are you telling me what I can and can not do?? What is your point exactly??

[EatMyFlan]

A very irrelevant person.

[Withano]

I too feel like EatMyFlans opinions mean far more than a smelly silly doctorate.

[Nemo123]

I agree with the OP. They're more like fortune tellers,

[Pincho Paxton]

I'm qualified by life experience! :joker:

You'll only get that joke if you watch the documentary about Lauren Harries.

[CaudleHalbard]

I wasn't aware I was arguing. I am curious to know your thinking. Mere opinions are like arses..... everyone's got one! :D

Presumably when you go to your GP you argue the toss with him/her as to what your medical problem is and what medication or treatment you should get.... and you rubbish their opinion, if it's not in accordance with your unqualified diagnosis?

[reece(:]

They're full of ****.

[CaudleHalbard]

They're full of ****.

They probably think that of internet fansites! :D

[reece(:]

Oh of course, they hate outspoken fans.

[Toy Soldier]

Psychologists in general are not full of crap.

...the ones they have on Bots, though, usually are. I don't think it's anything to do with them being clueless, though, they're clearly instructed to pander to public opinion, and also are not unbiased themselves. Plus, I don't think they're actually fans of the show mostly, they seem to be making snap judgements based on small pieces of footage and don't really know what's going on in the house or even remember the housemates names...

Spot on for me is your comment.Well said.
I am convinced they watch very little of the show too really.

I doubt they spend their days watch CBB so prob just watch tiny bits of footage.

[fingers]

Since Lauren is BOTS' chosen one this time around, if they want repeat appearances then they have to toe the BOTS party line.

[EatMyFlan]

They are obsessed with Lauren on BOTS. It's quitz sickening how much they arse lick the silly woman.

[the truth]

this woman tried to tell ron how to run his mouth to a football team....what a bellend she is. the man has been there worn the tshirt literally for 40 years in charge of around a dozen of the biggest teams in the UK (and the world at man utd) and shes lecturing him on how to run his mouth to his players? what a clueless moron. yes that's right , just go into the man utd dressing room and insult them all and the next day you will beat real Madrid....why did she even bother going to uni if that's all the mindless bilge shes learn. a new lot for this awful show

She made a fool of herself saying what she did to Ron. She's the worst one out the lot.

Why do psychologists talk crap ... Please give some examples of this before you start a thread alleging this. What are your reasons for saying this ?

Are you qualified to challenge their professional views ??

are you having a giraffe? this twat was telling big ron he should treat footballers like you treat housemates i.e with no respect, pretty much verbally abuse them and youd do well? big ron has been at the top of professional football for 40 years and shes telling him his? her advice was of course utter drivel. maybe she should try football management? she wouldn't get a mop job at Accrington Stanley....waste of an education

OK thanks truth... Now I know what this thread is relating to , the opening post didn't give much away...!!!

You do make a valid point. A person without any qualifications can see that something is wrong. This information has been passed down to us through generations. We should never underestimate the value of instinct.
The housemates have been deemed by psychologists fit to appear on this show. Some of them are obviously not fitted to be in that environment.

I'm not sure they are evaluated now, they can't be...I thought that was a channel 4 thing? This lot don't give a toss about psychological wellbeing.

The problem is the people with the "qualifications" are being paid by BB! If they had psychologists on giving an unbiased opinion,then you might have some degree of respect for them!?!

I was thinking the same!!:thumbs:

[smeagol]

that judy woman is clueless . i'm better than her and i dont have a degree. though you dont need one anyway to understand how people work.
they seem to get lots of weirdos. on there i prefer rubarb woman lol

[Scotty07]

I always fast forward their appearances and avoid the Saturday show completely.

Succinctly and accurately put ! :) (yet again)

Plus, I don't think they're actually fans of the show
Bet they love C5 though. ;)

I'm starting to wonder if Emma's outward affection for Judy James is to make up for Judy's obvious lack of razzmatazz, showbiz appeal and youthful looks.

i.e. so people with an attention span less than a fly don't get bored simply because Emma says so.

I mean...
Even the old duffer is quite entertaining when he dances...

Take the rest they've either got a "funky" name, can jump about or look half attractive.

[Marsh.]

I never agree with them. Terrible judges of character in my opinion.

Disagreeing with them doesn't mean they're wrong.

How absurd.

[Marsh.]

I think i'm qualified to have an opinion. I think the government are **** but do I have to be a politician to think that?? Your argument is ridiculous.

That's not a like for like comparison.

You can have an opinion, but thinking someone else talks "complete crap" purely because they have a different opinion/perspective to you is ridiculous.

As though you are completely right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

[zakman440]

I think the asparagus lady has more experience than 'Dr' Funke.

That's a bit different to psychology though - which with all due respect to psychologists is never an exact science. At best they can be incredibly helpful and even life changing to bounce ideas off, talk with and get to the root of issues. At worse they get rich off listening half heatedly and dispensing some routine advice at the end of it.

Some of them are compassionate, intelligent people. Some should be out under the tend with the palm readers and jugglers. It is not an exact science and asking someone are they 'qualified' to go up against a TV psychologists opinions is ridiculous.

It's not like you're telling a qualified surgeon how to make an incision. You're simply having an opinion ... on someones opinion about somebody. Whilst coming at it from the perspective of "but he doesn't like my favorite housemate!" is certainly dubious if that is indeed the case - nevertheless let's stop pretending it's some mad ass leap of faith to disagree or have an opinion on Channel 5's crack team of mind probes. They've taken a job with the same producers who allowed Lauren Harries in a TV house. I doubt their sense of professional ethic is particularly arousing.

Source : Seeing psychologists on and off for about seven years growing up. Not that it matters at all but since we're going to act like you need serious credibility to challenge these svengalis ...

I hate Judi James, but i love Pam. She's so nice and always makes interesting comments. Now she would make a great housemates. I find her very sweet. :thumbs:

Kate Marlow laying to Sophie again and again and again on saturday's Bit on the Psych
i found extremely uncomfortable to watch

And she had the cheek to call Sophie passive/aggressive !

I've never seen ANY Psychologist be so biased against a HM in the whole history of watching BB

I thought it was downright nasty and an abuse of her position as a 'psychologist' who is supposed to be fair and is on the show to give a reasoned overview, not act like an angry crowd member with airtime

I have since lost all respect for Kate Marlow. She may have called Sophie a 'mean girl' but Kate was way way meaner in her 5 minutes on a lighthearted talk show than Sophie has been in one week in a stressful house

It's made me feel sorry for - and start to like Sophie now - Save Sophie !!

I think she's wrong. I find Sophie annoying, but she's harmless. Bruce is the passive aggressive one. I really don't like him at all.

[Lord Of The Garden]

I think she's wrong. I find Sophie annoying, but she's harmless. Bruce is the passive aggressive one. I really don't like him at all.

Yes agreed. There is a lot of underlying anger in Bruce.

Hypocritical as well.

When Sophie and Courtney got sent to jail for discussing Noms, Bruce laid into them all day for it and was very serious about it too.

But HE was punished for the EXACT same thing on Nom's day when he told Dustin to nominate him for snoring !

Bad enough being a hypocrite but to be so angry and serious about other people's identical mistake to his own, only days before, it ain't good.

I hope he goes. I'm not too keen on Sophie, but she is a good housemate.

I'd rather live with her than Bruce that's for sure.

I saw she was crying on live feed and i felt a bit bad for her. Nice that Mario tried to comfort her. :D

Ahh i never saw that. I do feel she is getting a raw deal this year to be honest, from inside and outside the house

Starting to feel a bit sorry for her she's not exactly done anything wrong. She's a bit of a clean freak but that's no major crime. There are people who have been far more bitchy and mean in there than her !

It was on live feed. A very nice moment. Mario can be so nice when he wants to. Glad that Sophie feels better now. She needs to jut relax and enjoy the experience.

Yeah i think Mario is pretty caring. I have a feeling he will finish in top 3.

You are right Sophie needs to relax a bit more. I think she is one of those people who tries hard with people but gets it wrong a lot of the time. A bit like Charlie from the last BB.

I hope Mario does well. I really liked the chat he had with Lauren last night. She was opening up about her family. I agree with Sophie that Carol and Louis are two faced. At least she said that Lauren has been straight with her. :hugesmile:

That's right, Sophie is quite on the ball and wise in her way. And despite the fall outs at first i think that her and Lauren will get on better as the series goes on. Especially as other HMs like Carol and Louis are being 2 faced. Sophie and Lauren are definitely more upfront and they will respect that in each other and be glad for the honesty.

[Lord Of The Garden]

I liked Sophie when she was just having fun at the beginning. I hope we get the old Sophie back.

Yeah i feel like Sophie has become a bit trapped at the moment, like whatever she says, she can't do right for doing wrong, even though she means well - a bit like Charlie Travers - so she has shut down a little bit now

I think a new task is needed now to shake things up, split the groups up and give people something to do and a chance to shine

Sophie, Abz, Dustin and Vicky could all benefit from a task which shakes the house dynamic
