Would he have support if he was ugly?

[Amy Jade]

Just wondering...

[Vanessa]

I think so. He's a lovely lad, very friendly.

[Liam-]

From the women? no.

From the 'lads'? probably.

[Calderyon]

I would say no. Not nearly as much at least.

[jessicadanielle]

Nah he'd be completely invisible.

[Amy Jade]

I think so. He's a lovely lad, very friendly.
So his looks are irrelevant to you being a fan?

[abhorson]

He has not done much wrong. Like Chloe and Sam, and they are still in. But he has done more than them. So yes probably.

VTE was the key.

[Josy]

He would have support from some, they all do.

Maybe not as much though.

For the record, I neither support Cristian or find him to be good looking.

[HeelBatman]

From the women? no.

From the 'lads'? probably.

Pretty much this

[Jason.]

I think so. He's a lovely lad, very friendly.

You only like him for his looks. :suspect:

[Northern Monkey]

Tbh he'd probably be disliked for sucking up to Danny and also for being a bore.

[jaxie]

Of course he wouldn't have support if he was unattractive. Half the public hate Jack because he's fat. :shrug: People are shallow.

[Vanessa]

So his looks are irrelevant to you being a fan?

I would still support him even if he wasn't so good looking. I think he's lovely.

[Jason.]

I would still support him even if he wasn't so good looking. I think he's lovely.

Lies spotted.

[abhorson]

Of course he wouldn't have support if he was unattractive. Half the public hate Jack because he's fat. :shrug: People are shallow.

Half? Only the fatists or the ones here that use it as an insult.

Two thirds of the UK population are overweight:laugh:

[JTM45]

I would still support him even if he wasn't so good looking. I think he's lovely.

Just....:facepalm:

[hijaxers]

Just wondering...

Umm let me think - NO

[vafunghoul]

No, zero. None. Bland. No substance. ONLY when he was called out did he try to become relevant.

Cristian is what we in America call a poser. No one likes posers. Attractive or not.

[Jason.]

In all fairness Cristian isn't really that good-looking. He is out of the BB16 males. But, he wouldn't even make my Top 5 when you all every other series.

[Trasadkel1]

He would from me. To me a housemate doesn't have to be aggressive, rude, continually causing conflicts etc to be a good housemate. Cristian has stood out to me as he has coped with a lot in there. He was isolated a lot in the first couple of weeks, he has the disability of being deaf in one ear so it is understandable he struggles to pick up the gist of some conversations in groups when everyone is shouting at the same time, he has had his personality slighted on numerous occasions but throughout he has remained upbeat, took it all in good stead, stood up for himself when he has needed to, up for having a laugh, given his all in tasks, and is obviously has gained a lot of respect and love from his fellow housemates. It's a case of what's not to like for me. He has been my favourite from the start and I have never once felt the need to change my mind.

[Jamie89]

Cristian wouldn't have been put in the house if he was ugly, he was chosen to please the young female audience me thinks

Same. He's a very strong person and i like that.

[Withano]

I cant see the appeal. When hes talking he is a complete dickhead, ive never heard him talk and think to myself "what a lovely lad". Hes awful, his only redeeming quality is that he barely talks so you forget how dreadful he is every once in a while.

Agree with this, he has been my favourate from the start and I don't find him attractive. Honestly

Im half-deaf in one ear (id imagine if cristian wears hearing aids, this phrase describes his condition better too).. Honestly you dont notice unless youre wearing headphones. Fans turned that small detail into a big fuss tbh.

I also disagree with your other points, above is the one which stood out though.

[Trasadkel1]

He has said he is totally deaf in one ear. There is a clip where he moved seats so that he could hear.

[Withano]

He has said he is totally deaf in one ear. There is a clip where he moved seats so that he could hear.

When did he say that.. I saw him switch seats.. I didnt buy it for a second but i'll take it back if he is actually 100% deaf In that ear but id question the need of hearing aids if he was..

[Vanessa]

When did he say that.. I saw him switch seats.. I didnt buy it for a second but i'll take it back if he is actually 100% deaf In that ear but id question the need of hearing aids if he was..

Yes, he said he was completely deaf on one ear. It was when Jasmine was there.

[Trasadkel1]

I thought it was common knowledge. It has been on his website in a bio dated back in 2013. He had a tumour removed and a disease caused total deafness in his left ear. It was in a recent clip where Jasmine sat the wrong side of him and he couldn't hear her.

deafness in left ear?
That could also be used as an advantage. Heck, if I was him I'd always sit to the right of Sam.

:cheer2::shrug::wavey:

[Transgenderqueen]

Think it was Kawasaki syndrome he had

Yes you are right. I couldn't remember how to spell it:laugh::laugh:

[Vanessa]

Yes, same thing Gary Busey's son had.

[Kazanne]

.. That renders his hearing aid useless? Either hes bull****ting and hes not completely deaf (very few people are?) or his hearing aid is a sympathy tactic. You choose.

I am deaf in one ear,I have an hearing aid but have to wear it in my GOOD ear as in the deaf one it wouldn't pick anything up,I don't wear it often as I have got used to being without it.

[Vanessa]

I am deaf in one ear,I have an hearing aid but have to wear it in my GOOD ear as in the deaf one it wouldn't pick anything up,I don't wear it often as I have got used to being without it.

Yes, i think Cristian is used to being without it. He seems to manage really well. I've only seen him wear his earing aid once.

[Trasadkel1]

.. That renders his hearing aid useless? Either hes bull****ting and hes not completely deaf (very few people are?) or his hearing aid is a sympathy tactic. You choose.

I think you need to do your research a bit more. No bull****ting. There are hearing aids that can amplify to the good ear.

[Kazanne]

Yes, i think Cristian is used to being without it. He seems to manage really well. I've only seen him wear his earing aid once.

You tend to look at peoples lips a lot,I find my hearing aid uncomfortable as I have tiny ears and it keeps dropping off,I was offered a cochlear implant but it is bolted to your skull ,so I didn't fancy that,as the kids would be unscrewing the bolt:joker::joker: no seriously you have a screw on your skull.

[rionablue]

Just wondering...

Not a hope. If he was less attractive he would be labelled a bore, a coaster, insipid and a waste of space of a housemate where we could have got someone much more entertaining. He was only put in there because of his looks as God knows he hasn't delivered ANYTHING. So no, he wouldn't have the support he has if he wasn't goodlooking

What an awful thing to say, he didn't go into details in the clip but regardless of whether he is completely deaf or partially deaf, it will have had a profound effect on his quality of life!! Hearing aids are not what people think they are, they may give some degree of hearing back but they don't give the wearer perfect hearing. I personally feel christian has done really well for himself and is a shining example of a young man in today's day n age

[Withano]

Researching Cristians ear doesnt interest me, him wearing his aid in his good ear is plausible, him switching seats because hed struggle to hear jasmine otherwise is more insulting tbh. Easy to see what hes doing there..

[Tom4784]

Not at all, he'd be hated more than Jack.

[Trasadkel1]

..i have a hearing aid.. I can just see through his bs too. He was sat next to jasmine, didnt buy it for a second.

[Kazanne]

I've had to get on my good hearing side sometimes Withano,my friends are so used to it they automatically walk on my right side,I can see why he did that tbh.

[Withano]

I've had to get on my good hearing side sometimes Withano,my friends are so used to it they automatically walk on my right side,I can see why he did that tbh.

I think my friends have forgot tbh! But i suppose total deafness is something i probably wont experience.. It just screamed making a point instead of actually struggling to me especially with laughs, the explanations and the looks for approval.. Seemed like he was using it as more of a novelty..

[waterhog]

like i would say to anyone - only go on BB if you are mentally fit for this challenge - to add something and to have a experiences. you may ask who am i to judge if he has had a experience ? but this is my judgement on him in there.

[Vanessa]

He could have used his disability to gain the sympathy vote, but he didn't. I respect him so much for that. He's a lovely lad, always so polite and can be quite funny.

[Trasadkel1]

Exactly. He could have and hasn't chosen to.

[Livia]

He's pretty, but rather bland.

[Vanessa]

Exactly. He could have and hasn't chosen to.

Also, i love his friendship with Joel. They're like bickering brothers. :joker:

[REDCROP]

He wouldn't have even been given a place in there to start with

[REDCROP]

Exactly. He could have and hasn't chosen to.

What disability ?..the affliction he has where he speaks in two different tongues you mean ?

[Vanessa]

He's deaf in one ear. :nono:

I know..i was joking

[Gusto Brunt]

He'd probably have more support if he were ugly.

[Dollface]

I'm not even gonna lie, I like him because he's good looking

but I do like his personality too, so I'd probably still like him if he was ugly

[rusticgal]

He is just a nice lad...he gets talked over a lot because he doesn't shout or raise his voice...maybe because of his hearing issues.
I think he has been a charming and decent housemate and I would be happy for him to win.

Thank god someone who can admit to liking someone over looks.
even though feel you may tolerate his personality because of his looks.

Sio what about Jack? What if Jack acted like Cristian, rapped and dressed like him and showed less butt crack? Would you "like" him?

This is one area where I completely applaud him. When Danny told him to shut up for butting into a discussion...Cristian could have called Danny a hypocrite but he took the high road. Prudent move on his part because Danny wound up looking worse.

[Daniel-X]

Yeah he'd still have support just not as much as he has. He only has mass support because of his looks really other than that he's always being really dull or behaving like a prick.

I agree that me fancying Cristian is influencing my opinion of his personality lmao but I do think he's a nice guy

[Ashley.]

This is the exact question that got me permanently banned from Digital Spy. :hehe:

This unwritten "rule" seems to apply only to men. Women being good looking just gets them into even more trouble, whilst with men it's like, "oh he did that, but he's good looking so that makes up for it." I'm not sure why there is such an inequality in 2015.

Cristian has said he is fully deaf in one ear. With respect, you've experienced half deafness in one ear, maybe having no hearing ability in one ear like Cristian makes a big difference which you wouldn't know.

I already like Jack tbh, never understood the hate towards him

I agree that me fancying Cristian is influencing my opinion of his personality lmao but I do think he's a nice guy

Oh he is def a NICE guy.
I can never dispute that. I disliked him from start because of his blatant attempt to act like a rapper/Justin Bieber character.

It's when he strips that away and has 1 on 1 conversations forgetting the camera's that he stops posing and becomes more relatable.

[Ashley.]

But men are also hated because of their looks. Most people just assume Cristian is arrogant because of it.

It just annoys me how good looking woman always go out to jealous boos, whilst men who have exactly the same personality and are also good looking, go out to screams and thirstiness.

That's why Sophie is my favourite winner. She really managed to turn herself around having gone into the house with a negative crowd reaction, and she is one of the very few housemates to do that.

These days, a lot of voters and viewers are stubborn, and find it difficult to change their perceptions on housemates they have already deemed as their "least favourite". They would find any reason to attack them, lurking around to try and find something that they can use against them, a la Danny's tweets and Chloe's apparent greediness of the prize fund.

If a model goes in that house now and acts like an absolute angel, they'll be hated nonetheless because that seems to be the type that people look down on the most. (that and old people)

I find Cristian very arrogant to be honest. He always pulls these face at people when they say something bad about him in a task, like theres no way anything bad could be said about him. I think he has a weird sense of entitlement and i dislike his arrogant side... Id dislike it if an ugly guy pulled the same faces.

I can see that but no one in that house has a bigger sense of entitlement than Danny. Cristian showed his by eating too much food rations that was exposed early in the show. Danny is the one trying to play like Mr. perfect and Cristian seems very submissive around him. Wish Cristian would stand up more for himself and challenge or call Danny on his BS.

He wouldn't have been cast in the first place.

I agree with this but I think it's because the majority of viewers/voters/forum members are straight females and gay men.

[vafunghoul]

I dont see how thats relevant to the topic

It is relevant because I referenced Cristian in AGREEMENT to your post but added my opinion on Danny.
English Comprehension 101.

:laugh:

[joeysteele]

I rarely judge people on looks only,so very rarely do I make reference to someone as to appearance and if it is bad what I say as to them then I will need to have taken a massive dislike to them.

Cristian is a good looking guy and I think he is a decent guy too.
I don't think he is arrogant,I didn't like the Danny influenced Cristian who emerged for a short time but overall he has been an interesting housemate.

I would have loved to hear more of his stories of his life,as I would for all of them, something we have not had at all much of due to the comings and goings of people with over inflated egos trying to re-live their past times when they were housemates in other older series.

Cristian is okay,overall he has a gentle and nice personality it seems so I doubt looks would have made much difference,nor should it really.

[alex_front2]

Depends, Jack who is not particularly good looking, but obviously in fact overweight was favourite to win in week #1 and thus more popular than Cristian.

He also has a similar Christian support ie follower of Christ that BB4 Cameron received.
