why does everyone seem to dislike Jack?

[Denver]

He seems a genuine guy with an actual personality i just dont understand how he can be hated for no reason

[Niamh.]

It's early days for me. I wasn't too keen on his VT tbh but I won't judge him completely on that

[Liam-]

Because he's fat and therefore doesn't deserve any support or niceness shown towards him dammit :fist:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Is he the one who went straight in and made himself a cup of tea.... if so... that pretty much says it all

I think and hope he will have the wolfy/pauline effect. Unanimously loved night 1, by day 5 loathed

[Denver]

Because he's fat and therefore doesn't deserve any support dammit :fist:

I dont understamd this you cant dislike someone purely on there weight can you?

[Liam-]

I was being sarcastic :laugh:

I'm not sure about him yet, he seems like he could be annoying, but everyone has that potential.

[Denver]

So your saying someone who doesnt drink alcohol are not allowed to make themselves a non alcoholic drink?

[Lee.]

I think he's perfectly likeable

[LukeB]

I think he will be annoying
Judging him on his personality not his appearance.

Katie hopkins wants him to win tho

[Vanessa]

He seems like a nice genuine lad and i like his friendship with Christian.

[karezza]

He has nothing to offer except his fatness.

[Denver]

He has nothing to offer except his fatness.

And you know this because?

[Lostie!]

I don't think everyone does, he's topping the BBSpy and Tellymix polls.

I don't dislike him, I'm just not sold on him yet.

[Niamh.]

I think he will be annoying
Judging him on his personality not his appearance.

Katie hopkins wants him to win tho

really? Eventhough he's over weight? Shock, horror :laugh:

[Jamesy]

I found him annoying in his VT. He comes across as friendly, but a bit of a boring character that could annoy you easily just by talking.

Who knows though, could like him in a week or two when I've seen a load of highlights shows.

[sampvt]

He is everything that most of our dumb down society loaths.....He is nice, popular, a bit ugly and fat. They say we all hate mirror images of ourselves eh. He will win hearts and minds but I fear he might be ostracised and made an escape goat. The 3 exclusion noms he won will prove kind and right. I think he will make the finals but he isn't a typical stereo type winner. That might fall to Danny if he does not go off on a me me me campaign.

He seems very genuine, i like that.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Just makes him look boring and uninteresting to me. I can see him being the person who goes around asking them all if they want a cuppa every day. I dont see much to him personality wise

[Ammi]

..I don't dislike him Adam..I wasn't keen on his vid but then I wasn't with a few of them and the vids aren't that important to me...he just hasn't really stood out either way for me yet like a lot of them...

[Kizzy]

I really like Jack :/

Edit: I LOVE Jack...

'He admitted to having some big opinions: "That's one of the things that can be considered a negative about me, but I'm willing to tell someone if I've got an opinion, I'm willing to go through with it and if people try to say things against it I'll try to stick with it, which can be seen as a bad thing. But I personally voted Labour, that's who I chose to vote for, just because they look after working families like my mum and dad, so that's why I voted for them. I'm not bitter because someone else won, that was just my personal preference."

[Lostie!]

Just makes him look boring and uninteresting to me. I can see him being the person who goes around asking them all if they want a cuppa every day. I dont see much to him personality wise

I think the people who need alcohol to be fun are those with the personality issues, to be honest.

If he doesn't drink, fair play. Not drinking alcohol doesn't make somebody boring.

[Kizzy]

And let's be honest tea is very important!

[Cherie]

I found him hard to understand other than that he didn't stand out in a good or a bad way for me.

[Calderyon]

He makes them think of Jack & Joe from BB14, who many despised.

[Denver]

I found him hard to understand other than that he didn't stand out in a good or a bad way for me.

Do you mean his accent or his character in general?

[smudgie]

Liking what I see of him so far.

[andybigbro]

I like him so far! He seems harmless so I'll wait and see how things develop

[Vanessa]

he's so likable. my favourite after christian.

[Pete.]

He looks like a poor housemate

[Vanessa]

Everyone necking booze and him with a cuppa. :joker:

[Pete.]

He looks 14 too wtf is up with that?

[y.winter]

I wonder if he could end up as a Wolfy/Pauline case by being an obvious lovable hm with a possibility of turning out not meeting the expectations?

[Vanessa]

I wonder if he could end up as a Wolfy/Pauline case by being an obvious lovable hm with a possibility of turning out not meeting the expectations?

I hope not, he seems so nice.

[Cherie]

His accent something about sitting on a wall with a pie ..no idea :laugh:

[Vanessa]

His accent something about sitting on a wall with a pie ..no idea :laugh:

:joker: he's so funny!

[chuff me dizzy]

I think people know he's a normal lad, not up his own backside, so a good chance of winning even before the pass ,he's a threat

[Niamh.]

I think people know he's a normal lad, not up his own backside, so a good chance of winning even before the pass ,he's a threat

wouldn't that be more of a reason to like him rather than dislike him :suspect:

[Mokka]

Just from live feeds last night....

he was sooooo awkward ... didn't really know how to have a conversation, pretending he knew anything at all about rap music or music in general.

I don't hate him but he isn't my favourite

[Tom4784]

Nothing about him seems interesting, being nice doesn't make for interesting TV, plus laddish men make me want to vomit and anyone who wears Fedoras deserve the hate they get.

He's probably going to be a very boring housemate that will likely float through the series and win just because he's 'nice'. Ugh.

[Denver]

Because the good looking men always turned out entertaining :smug: he makes me laugh and he is common as muck that's all I need to know to like him

[Josy]

Seems alright so far

[Marsh.]

Doesn't it make you cringe? :joker:

What's that got to do with anything that I've said? Why don't you try sticking to what I've actually said? This is why English is important and should be taught thoroughly in schools.

[chuff me dizzy]

wouldn't that be more of a reason to like him rather than dislike him :suspect:

Not really I think they will see him being normal as a threat

[Niamh.]

Not really I think they will see him being normal as a threat

a threat to what?

[chuff me dizzy]

a threat to what?

Them winning

[Daniel.]

Because he's a 'lad' on live feed which I hate, and the fact he's loved JUST because he's fat is annoying.

[LukeB]

Because he's a 'lad' on live feed which I hate, and the fact he's loved JUST because he's fat is annoying.

People don't love him for being big :umm2:

[Liam-]

Because he's a 'lad' on live feed which I hate, and the fact he's loved JUST because he's fat is annoying.

He's not loved just because he's fat, that's incredibly ignorant, some people like him because they think he's nice or funny.

[reece(:]

Incredibly dull and uninteresting, I didn't like the way he spoke of women either.

[LukeB]

He's not loved just because he's fat, that's incredibly ignorant, some people like him because they think he's nice or funny.

[Denver]

So nobody loves Cristian for being a ladies man?

No one loves Aaron for being gay?

No one loves Danny cause he is dull?

[Daniel.]

People don't love him for being big :umm2:

He's not loved just because he's fat, that's incredibly ignorant, some people like him because they think he's nice or funny.

Yes they do, if he was attractive with that VT people wouldn't have even noticed him.

Nice and funny? He's a cringe lad wannabe with a pathetic nickname.

[Niamh.]

Them winning

I think the OP meant why do people on here not like him though not the other HMs?

[Denver]

Incredibly dull and uninteresting, I didn't like the way he spoke of women either.

Do you think its OK for Cristian to say he is a ladies man? Basically the same thing

[Liam-]

Yes they do, if he was attractive with that VT people wouldn't have even noticed him.

Nice and funny? He's a cringe lad wannabe with a pathetic nickname.

You do realise that that's just your opinion right? Not actual fact.
Some people will see differently to you and I sure hope they do.
I'm not a fan of his yet, but I'm not going to sit here and say people only like him because of how he looks.. If I said that to Chritian fans there would be hell to pay.

[Tom4784]

So nobody loves Cristian for being a ladies man?

His ATTEMPT at being a "lad" is amusing. It's not convincing one bit. :joker:

[LukeB]

Yes they do, if he was attractive with that VT people wouldn't have even noticed him.

how the hell do you even know why people love him :umm2:

no one goes oh i love that person because he is big.....

[chuff me dizzy]

Right ,well in that case they wont like him as he's a threat to their fav winning

[Daniel.]

Yeah but what's the point in me having to put 'imo' in everything? It's my post, it should be obvious it's opinion.

Well it's what I think, similar to how Jack and Joe were loved on launch because they were big, when really their VT's offered nothing beyond that.

[Marsh.]

Right ,well in that case they wont like him as he's a threat to their fav winning

But what if he's their fav?

[Niamh.]

Right ,well in that case they wont like him as he's a threat to their fav winning

jeez it's only day 1, I'm not sure people even have a proper fav yet, I know I don't!

[Daniel.]

how the hell do you even know why people love him :umm2:

no one goes oh i love that person because he is big.....

They do a lot of the time though, people love a 'sweet big lad who is proud of himself'.

[Pete.]

This tbh

[Denver]

I think its very revelent when in reply to a post saying Jack is only liked for being fat

[Tom4784]

Right ,well in that case they wont like him as he's a threat to their fav winning

I don't think many people really care who wins because most of the time it's the nice inoffensive dullard that wins it anyway.

[Gusto Brunt]

Because he's fat and therefore doesn't deserve any support or niceness shown towards him dammit :fist:

It's that and the fact he is his own person. Unlike the girls who seem to have been cloned.

[reece(:]

Do you think its OK for Cristian to say he is a ladies man? Basically the same thing

There's no comparison really.

[Tom4784]

I think its very revelent when in reply to a post saying Jack is only liked for being fat

Except it isn't? You just seem to be posting hysterical nonsense to anyone that dares have a different opinion.

[Denver]

There's no comparison really.

They both admit to liking the ladies so what is the problem? Oh yea I forgot just like CBB only good looking men are allowed to find women attractive

[LukeB]

They do a lot of the time though, people love a 'sweet big lad who is proud of himself'.

Not really and i doubt he is a favourite because of his size,

Why shouldn't he be proud of himself?

[Jason.]

I don't dislike him. But, I haven't seen much of him to form an opinion, yet.
Seems nice and harmless though.

[Denver]

Except it isn't? You just seem to be posting hysterical nonsense to anyone that dares have a different opinion.

No it is actually the truth we all know why Cristian is the fave male bon this site and it ain't because of his personality.

Jack is being used as someone to use to attack there looks just like M
Jale/Helen last year.

[GypsyGoth]

I like Jack, he seems like a nice guy, the type that sees the best in people.

[Marsh.]

we all know why Cristian is the fave male bon this site and it ain't because of his personality. .

Where are you getting this statistic from?

According to the forum favourites at the top of this section, NICK is currently the most popular male housemate out of people who add favourites to their profile.

Where are you getting the impression Cristian is the most popular AND it's because of his looks?

Because everyone was in the episode thread how !much they like him because he was good looking

But as always looks=dull

Nick is the most popular male on the site at the moment so I don't know where you're getting your stats from.

Jack represents a type of housemate that is typically despised on this forum, someone who the viewers will like because they're 'nice' and 'cheeky' but they ultimately add nothing to the series bar one or two painfully set up 'funny' moments designed to get the votes rolling in.

[Marsh.]

By that logic, anyone who is attracted to women is let off then.

May I add its not that I dislike Cristian its just my general view and I won't form a proper opinion on the housemates for a few more days

Because I've seen a lot of BBs and it's fairly obvious that he fits the 'Dull Winner' archetype. I'd be willing to bet money that he'll coast through until the end and win it because he's inoffensive because it's happened plenty of times before.

There's always hope that he'll turn out to be messy or somewhat interesting but I seriously doubt that will be the case.

After seeing their pictures before the launch I was completely taken aback by her voice. :eek:

It was like she and Kieron had swapped voices.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I have Say I really don't get all the Jack love on BBBOTS lastnight, I found him really boring on LF, I have to say the minute he walk out from the eye I knew people would like him, so I'm not the lest but surprised he bookies favourite the now.

[Denver]

My whole point which actually hasn't come across (maybe my fault for not making it clearer) is we shouldn't judge a book by its cover we all do it every series and there are housemates who surprise us and housemates who disappoint that's why we should all give it at least 3/4 episodes before we are sure

[Marsh.]

He seems just like the twins from BB14 at the moment.

18, never really left home for all that long before and grown up a BB fan.

[LukeB]

No, she's from Bolton. :nono:

There's a chance he could go against the archetype but I seriously doubt it as we've seen his type of housemate before and I doubt he is truly any different.

[Kazanne]

I think people probably like him due to the fact they feel sorry for him,some people will realise he's probably had a difficult time most of his life and see this as a chance to give him something he wouldn't normally expect,I like him so far,seems a bit awkward,hopefully he will feel at ease soon enough.

[reece(:]

There's a chance he could go against the archetype but I seriously doubt it as we've seen his type of housemate before and I doubt he is truly any different.
And from his chat with Emma and live feed segment, he was dull and slightly offensive.

[chuff me dizzy]

I don't think many people really care who wins because most of the time it's the nice inoffensive dullard that wins it anyway.

Really ? so why does it get so full of venom in here ,if no one cares who wins ?

[Marsh.]

And from his chat with Emma and live feed segment, he was dull and slightly offensive.

Offensive? What did he say? :shocked:

The fact most of the live feed was focused on him when he is the least interesting so far...ergh.

[Denver]

There's a chance he could go against the archetype but I seriously doubt it as we've seen his type of housemate before and I doubt he is truly any different.

Maybe so but a lot of the times forum faves disappoint straight away while other become more liked that is why I want to get to know more from all the housemates over the coming days

[Tom4784]

Really ? so why does it get so full of venom in here ,if no one cares who wins ?

Usually because the majority of the venom comes from you?

5.24pm: Jack is eating some cereal in bed. This man knows how to live. #BBUKLive pic.twitter.com/zaexDNSdQJ


could we have the male version of Laura? she spent 400 hours of the 800 in the house sitting in bed ...she also went in as the "winner"
I would nom him every week so he has to use up his passes...


6.45pm: Jack is in his dressing gown eating a cucumber. Because he can..

[jennyjuniper]

I quite like him so far. Mainly because he's not a pretentious wannabee or full of himself as a few of them seem to be.

[Daniel-X]

Is he the one who went straight in and made himself a cup of tea.... if so... that pretty much says it all

I think and hope he will have the wolfy/pauline effect. Unanimously loved night 1, by day 5 loathed

Same I'm hoping for this too.

Really haven't took to him I did take to Pauline on launch night I didn't with Wolfy. He comes across really annoying he just gets on my nerves like the twins did.

[reece(:]

I think he's perfectly likeable

Me too so far.

Great guy is our Pie Face

[Jake.]

because they're in need of a good filling of pie?

[Shaun]

I think we all know why :unsure:

[NB!]

Still can't make my mind up about Jack, his VT didn't do much for me, although he did come across likeable on the live feed last night. He seems friendly enough but I'll give it a few days.

I did notice he is very loud...

[Marsh.]

because they're in need of a good filling of pie?

DISGUSTING!

[Denver]

if I said that to a fellow fm, I would get infracted. double standards here.

If you ask me its abusing the power but apparently most peoples opinions don't matter here

[Jake.]

because this isn't boring

[crazycolaist]

Because he plays on his obesity & it shouldnt be joked about, He seems nice, However I dont like people who laugh off their own health problems which are obvious
