[jamiewordsley]

WTF I never knew Until I was watching live feed and sore it ! :O

He is deaf in one ear

[Josy]

Yes, he had a tumor removed when he was young (hence the scar) and his hearing has been affected.

[Beso]

Thanks for that info, I did not know that.that explains a lot.

[alex_front2]

I knew he was deaf, but I didn't notice it until LF

[Trasadkel1]

Thanks for that info, I did not know that.that explains a lot.

Yes that is why I think he struggles in group situations when they are all shouting at once. You often see him turning his head to one side to hear.

[Legend killer]

Top Lad no sob stories from the peoples champ

Yeah I thought he was doing that in disbelief at what he was hearing..

[Trasadkel1]

Agree. He has never made a fuss about it or played on it when he could have. I do think it accounts for a lot of his insecurities though. That's Cristian. Just looks on the positive and gets on with things.

[rusticgal]

That's why I think he is mid understood. He isn't loud but gets talked over so much. It makes me wonder if the other housemates have taken this into consideration. You wouldn't know it...but surely the other housemates must be aware...:shrug:.. One thing I respect him for is that he hasn't mentioned it once and doesn't cry out for sympathy...also if the other housemates know this they too haven't made comment on it...:shrug:
I think he is amazing purely because he could have played the sympathy card and he hasn't...his behaviour has been commendable.
Just love him.

[Beetlejuice]

It's great that 4 weeks into this show and people still have no idea of anything to do with Cristian. That's the lack of live coverage for you.

He still makes Sam BB14 look interesting.

It was discussed on here weeks ago

[Ramsay]

What a great guy :clap1:

Me too. I think the fact that he has been through so much is probably why, when the other housemates are ranting and raving at trivial things it is probably something in nothing for him. He is a great lad.

[Beetlejuice]

Maybe so. But I suspect the vast majority had no idea.

Seems like a nice kid. But he's bloody boring.

[Spoon]

It's a shame this hasn't been mentioned at all. Disabilities become better-understood and less stigmatized when the people they impact explain them.

[Trasadkel1]

He has had a good few clips where he is having a laugh but unfortunately BB are intent on only showing us the arguments. This week we have barely known that any of them are there because it has been the Newbies and evictee show. I am sure if he is still in there when there are less people he will be more involved. I don't like him but I think Marq has noticed the other housemates disregard for his problem and has tried to involve him more.

[Beetlejuice]

He has had a good few clips where he is having a laugh

Yeah, but even then he's boring. Didn't Marc say he had the personality of a brick?

[Trasadkel1]

Yeah, but even then he's boring. Didn't Marc say he had the personality of a brick?

Think he has said that to a good few in there. He said it to Danny today.

[Beso]

Yeah, but even then he's boring. Didn't Marc say he had the personality of a brick?

Marc also said that he(marc), was a bad judge of character!

[M X]

I spotted this on the live show too. I never knew.

[rusticgal]

I admire the fact that he doesn't let this disability affect people's opinion of him by making an issue of it. He is a cool guy...good morales...and very smart.
Sam had a deafness issue and IMO won the show because of empathy from the public. Christian is trying to hide this fact and not wanting to win by the sympathy vote.
His deafness makes him different..makes life more challenging...makes life harder by some respect..but he isn't making it an issue...you just have to admire him for that.
The other housemates have treated him indifferently...but they have talked over him a lot.

[Rorkimaru]

That could be why some of the housemates call him arrogant actually. He's turning his head to hear them and they think he's turning away

Could be, great to see him not making an issue over it though. The lads went right up in my estimations.

[Vanessa]

I think he has been trying to manage without it, but now he's wearing it and I'm glad. He will be able to hear better when he's in the group.

Maybe we just ain't seen it?

[Vanessa]

I don't think he was wearing it before. Maybe it was interfering with his microphone and he just got it fixed?

[sampvt]

Maybe he needs it, who knows.

[Beso]

Morning sam, don't stop the tips mate. Apart from this week you've made me a bit of much needed money pal.

[mr rochester]

Where has he been? They barely give him any coverage at all and they haven't throughout. Most disappointing. No sob stories or me-me-me'ing for him. I just don't like the fact they make him look like a floater in the background all the time because I'm sure he's not.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I looked for this guy last night but I am pretty sure he was evicted ages ago


Or was he is a past series or something:shrug:


Hira teas

[Cherie]

Yeah I thought he was doing that in disbelief at what he was hearing..

:joker: genuinely made me lol

[Vanessa]

I just watched the live feed. He does seem to be able to hear better with it, so i hope he wears it more often. :blush:

[waterhog]

i am gob smacked and i love the fact he did not let us no or keep letting us no. i did think he was to quiet and this explains it. total respect and my opion of him has changed for the better.

I bet some of the housemates thought he was arrogant. But he only tilts his head to hear with his good ear. I hope he just wears the earing aid. It's barely noticeable and it does seem to help when he's in the group. He probably doesn't need it on a one to one.

[JoshBB]

It must have been discussed at some point. Those are the kind of chats we need to see, ones where they are talking about small details that are just interesting to hear

I don't think i've ever seen him wearing one. Also not sure if he has told the housemates about his past.

[JayBlaze]

He's acting, nothing wrong with his hearing. Clearly trying to target the sympathy vote

We don't know that.

BB could be hiding the fact through editing because they don't want him to win by the sympathy vote.

[Vanessa]

He had a brain tumour. That's why he has the big scar on his head. Has he been acting that as well?

[Trasadkel1]

What a ludicrous comment that was. Some people are just so thoughtless but at least they should get their facts straight first.

[Kazanne]

Terrible thing to say,he clearly has hearing problems,I am deaf in one ear and it can be really hard in group situations,he had a tumour removed which rendered him deaf in one ear,why would he want to act that?

[smudgie]

Really pleased that people are realisng why he can be quiet at times.
From what we get to see of him, he has winner written all over hm.

please God no I sympathise with him and all but he'd challenge Sam for the title of worst winner ever

Could this series get any worse :umm2:

Maybe if he did something interesting he would get some air time - he just never seems too - he's a fence sitter and boring

Awwwww. I love the controversy as much as the next one, but I really do thnk Cristian could win.
I want someone to win for being themselves, the rest all appear to be acting and hamming it up, great for entertainment to a point, but I want some reality in this reality show.
