why did jack win the vote?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

seriously? he has hardly had ANY airtime at all and what we have seen of him hasn't been particularly funny or interesting

i just don't understand it i really think it is a sympathy vote thing which is really sad

[reece(:]

Pity vote

[Vanessa]

He's the most popular housemate. i think he's great. Very normal and so funny.

[Xtopher]

He's normal and some people can relate, I guess.

[Amy Jade]

he's a fat virgin?

[JoshBB]

Sympathy. At least it wasn't Danny though.

[Drew.]

One of the nicest housemates in there, a genuinely good guy.. doesn't surprise me that people dislike him for being nice though which is stupid.

[Maneki-neko]

Fat

[Withano]

I'd imagine 90% of people voted on the first day the poll opened and he was pretty much the only guy who wasn't a clone of at least one other person in the house.

[Pete.]

Did you expect anything else from the public? :umm2:

[Daniel.]

Because he's fat and people love a 'fat sheeky chappy' hehe

[ruiphillips]

He's the most rateable/normal housemate to the general public next to Harriet.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Pity vote

.

He's the most popular housemate. i think he's great. Very normal and so funny.

how is he funny? what exactly has he done that has been entertaining?

and again how do you know he is nice :umm2: we have hardly seem him interact with anybody else

i would say quiet, not nice

[joeysteele]

I like Jack, I was glad he topped this poll anyway.
Pity he than had to sit through more of a BB waste of time and nonsense.

[waylander1973]

People have bet on him to win already.

So people are protecting they're money.:laugh:

[Drew.]

We're 4 days in and hes not said a bad word about anyone, every housemate in theres been predicting he's the favourite already because of how well they get on with him, i don't know why it's needed explaining really, its obvious hes a nice guy.

it's an entertainment show and he isn't entertaining so idgaf how nice he is ew

[y.winter]

He's the fat simple friendly unattractive neighbours' kid - harmless.
People don't feel threatened by him - It's as simple as two plus two, just with someone educated enough to solve it (Hey hms!)

Well entertainment isnt what we were talking about is it

[Headie]

He's a fat ugly Virgin so people feel sorry for him.

If it was based off entertainment, Adjoa, Sarah or Aaron should've won

[Headie]

wot a lad!

Give him a knighthood!!!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Well entertainment isnt what we were talking about is it

well yeah :umm2:

[bots]

we don't actually know if he won the vote, he was in the top 3, the time bombs were random placed

[Jamesy]

He fits into the 'has done nothing and is nice to everyone' category. A typical boring favourite that fits into the style of winners the British public choose on Big Brother.

At this point there are more worthy winners although I can see why the public like him, they like boring/nice/neutral people on this show.

[chuff me dizzy]

Nice lad, nothing more sinister than that

[Daniel-X]

Because he's fat and this automatically means that society will think that you're a nice person

[waylander1973]

we don't actually know if he won the vote, he was in the top 3, the time bombs were random placed

Big brother told them where to go, they didn't choose like last time.

[Ninastar]

Because he's -shock horror- nice and genuine!!!! How dare he be relatable...

[Maneki-neko]

Nobody who watches this show is nice and genuine.

we have seen like 2 minutes of him since launch night so idk how you know this but ok

[reece(:]

On a primetime entertainment show "nice lad" shouldn't be what they're aiming for. Casting are to blame for recruiting flops who already won on another gameshow.

[Daniel.]

How is he relatable at all? We know NOTHING about him

[Ninastar]

Nobody who watches this show is nice and genuine.

i've read many stupid things on here but this might be the stupidest

We done literally nothing people need to stop walking on eggshells around the situation he won because one is simply fat

[Tom4784]

Because the public loves voting for the inoffensive bores to win hence why most BBs have been won by people throroughly undeserving of it.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i could say exactly the same for you?

what? i'm not saying that he isn't a nice person

i'm just saying like daniel said we know nothing about him (apart from his gambling sob story and him being a virgin)

do you really think that he deserved to win the vote because of those things? it is such an obvious pity vote but w/e

Sympathy for what?

[reece(:]

Sympathy for what?
Gambling addict, virgin, dead end job, health problems etc

The vote definitely was NOT on merit

[Ninastar]

So who would you rather be the most popular? Someone who causes drama? What's wrong with a nice, down to earth guy being the most popular? I bet if he was beautiful or gay, none of you would be complaining.

And he's relatable because he's kind of geeky - he's not afraid to admit he's a virgin which is a big deal (and very brave of him to say), works a 'commoner' job and he's not exactly beautiful.

He's by no means my fave, but I don't understand why he's getting so much hate for being a genuine, nice person :/

[Tom4784]

He's getting hate because he's a bore. I'm glad he got picked for the twist but I'm annoyed he didn't take it and leave.

[Drew.]

Gambling addict, virgin, dead end job, health problems etc

Hes open about his gambling problems and didn't look for any type of attention when he was telling people about it, plus he's pretty proud of his job, he was really open and proud about telling people he was the manager.

[Ninastar]

He's getting hate because he's a bore. I'm glad he got picked for the twist but I'm annoyed he didn't take it and leave.

I don't hate Jack, he's just so boring and uninteresting.

He's going to last the whole time and do basically nothing interesting, and end up with the prize.

The fact that he's fat helps, but Sam basically did the same thing and he's the worst winner ever.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

well yeah i would rather someone who causes drama be the most popular

it is not about the way he looks, i dislike him (as a housemate) because he seems extremely boring and no matter which way you look at it, he is getting sympathy votes

eileen seems as nice/if not nicer than jack, why didn't she win? and eileen is quirky too and has an interesting personality

and 'i bet if he was beautiful or gay' no because i dislike christian and i didn't care for simon either so

Harriet is one of my favourites, but unlike Jack she will probably actually do things in the house rather than sit around and make everybody laugh because he's fat.

Jack won the vote because he's a fat twat who sat on a rat while wearing a hat.



















but he's a nice person so there might be that too.

[Raph]

Fat? That's such a silly thing to say. We're all fat, we all have fat on our bodies and it's a beautiful thing that should be embraced. It's because of posts like this that the word 'fat' starts to develop a negative connotation gearing society further and further into the 'slim and only slim mentality'. Not to mention the fact that I saw people say because he's 'ugly', like seriously? Big Brother is a personality contest and a psychological experiment. If you wanted to watch some beauty contest do so instead. Not to mention the fact that 'ugly' is such a ridiculous term -- who is anyone to call someone else ugly for their looks? Just is more of a representation of that person's personality than Jack's.

People will just see him as harmless and a likeable guy which we all know gets you a long way on BB.

[Jamesy]

Fat hasn't been used in a negative way mostly (by those of us who have expanded on our points to explain more). Most people have just observed that he's overweight. That's not bullying, spiteful, rude etc.. that's an observation, just like we say someone's skinny, someone's black, someone looks gay. It's not a negative term either, it's a description just like describing someone's skinny/gay/black/white.

It only becomes negative from the members on here who are not backing opinions up and just making sweeping comments.

[Drew.]

I don't know where you've got that from, putting aside a couple of them like Cristian and Sarah who have had a bit of drama and maybe a few others Jack has been up there with some of the most screen time, considering we're only 4 days in we've seen quite a lot of him.

[Headie]

Personally I believe Jack won the vote because he is a young overweight boy who said he is a virgin, and people link that to "oh he must be a virgin because he's fat" so people feel sorry for him and vote for him.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

What does 'least personality' mean?

it means he has hardly done anything and not contributed entertainment wise at all :umm2:

I get that you think he is dull, Scott. But I don't think any of them are all that interesting at this stage. It's too early. There are too many of them for any one individual to get enough time for us to find them interesting. That's how I see it anyway..

jack is so ****ing boring i pity everyone who voted him

[Dollface]

i don't think jack should've won either, he hasn't been funny or entertaining, in fact i don't even think he's been on my screen at all. but i understand some people like him/find him relateable and whatnot. although he's boring atm, he seems like a nice guy

[Firewire]

i was just trying to troll i don't care it's a democracy

[LukeB]

Most find Jack a nice lad which is why I think he got votes like Harriet got votes because she also too a normal housemate. Surely they voted on likeability.

[drantb]

Wolfy syndrome.

[Kazanne]

I think it's because he is kind of the underdog,and people will be knowing he has probably had a bit of a hard time with some of the human race most of his life,so will get behind him just because of that.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I don't know why there is so much love for Jack on BBBOTS, Twitter & such like, I find him extremely unlikable.

..I don't disagree with you Raph but there are also many references to Christian and his physical appearance and Jade with hers and their confidence/ apparent belief in themselves because of how they look...and that being described as arrogant/a negative character trait.. and I find that equally 'judging' on appearances...because it's kind of saying that it's not ok to say anything negative if it's someone who is not perceived to be so physically attractive but it's ok to say negative things about them if they are perceived to be so...

[Ammi]

pity vote..

:joker::joker:

Many reasons:

Firstly, it was a top 3 vote, For all we know Danny or Harriet could have captured 90% of the vote

Secondly, free polls are no indication of who will win. Take a look at Ashleigh last year :hehe:

Thirdly, BB were saying it had dire consequences for the winner of the poll, that doesn't encourage people to vote for their real favourite.

Just for starters :laugh:

This post is kinda funny looking back on it considering Jack did alot more than the eventual winner, and arguably contributed the most to the series.

I didn't like his UKIP connections, but he was a good Housemate for his series.
