why is she losing popularity?

[Nicky91]

i mention this because she was first at 27% on here, now down to 17%



is it only because she's with Jackson, and people think she's a snob, which she's not, she's just a little confused what she should do, i hope she just tells him to be just friends with him, and nothing more, i like her around Jackson, she's really smiling and laughing when she's with him :)

and i think she is a very sweet sensitive girl



i'm just saying this, because it's very hard now for me to support my favourite :)



just what i think is my honest opinion

[Marsh.]

Because she's a bitch.

[Nicky91]

Because she's a bitch.

that is not very nice to say, she's just very confused what to do right now, asking herself questions, already thinking about outside bb with Jackson



her heart is in the right place, i know that :)

[Tarryn]

She was my favourite but since Marco left she is now with the "in" crowd & seems to be quite bitchy.
I did not like her slating Jayne last night for trying to be tidy when she was doing the same a week earlier.

[TomC]

Yep, really dislike her now, she's totally changed her tune since Marco left/Jackson returned.

[Maria26]

To hell with the haters!

[Nicky91]

okay then, well i hope she can regain her popularity :)

[Vicky.]

Because she is coming across terribly in the past few days I imagine. A lot of people don't pick a fave and stick with them to the end no matter what, especially in the early stages

[Lostie!]

Well to be fair, neither is suggesting Jayne can get only get with men who "aren't shallow". She's been pretty unpleasant as of late.

[Nicky91]

To hell with the haters!

yeah Maria :clap1: :clap1:


respect for you :)

[Beso]

she is a snob though.

[Nicky91]

because producers ruin BB for her like this, they give her the villain role, and poor Jayne gets the victim role, very pathetic if you ask me :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[Nicky91]

well she is not a snob :(

[Lostie!]

The producers haven't made her say anything.

[Tarryn]

okay then, well i hope she can regain her popularity :)

I still think she is nice girl but sometimes she should remember that she is an individual. I respected her for standing up against Marco, especially when he had such a hold over the house but she seems to have lost that in favour of being in the popular gang.

[Nicky91]

who do you think are the boss of the show, the producers :)

just what i think is my honest opinion

Most HM's do go up and down on the popularity scale Nicky. Sometimes a single incident can make people go off a HM a bit, then something else can happen and they like them again.
There is still plenty of time left - who knows what will happen.

[Vicky.]

Georgina has the villain role? Have you not seen Natalie?

Nah, Georgina is doing this herself unfortunately. Plus as I always said, I suspect a lot (not all) of her support was simply due to her being 'anti-Marco'.

[Beso]

well she is not a snob :(

why is she bothered so much about jackson going to the dorchester if she's not.:shrug:

[Maria26]

By the way, where is she loosing popularity? Here? LOL The 17% are not her popularity but how much people talk about her on this forum. It means nothing!

People think she's a bitch? Take a good look around the like of Natalie, Jayne, Laura and even Evelyn (who's totally Laura's bitch) before saying something...

[Lostie!]

who do you think are the boss of the show, the producers :)

I somehow doubt the producers told her to be horrible about Jayne's looks. And if Georgina gets to be shielded by that excuse then the same should go for everyone else, surely.

[Nicky91]

why is she bothered so much about jackson going to the dorchester if she's not.:shrug:

maybe she wants to bring some class in Jackson as well, he would look handsome in a suit i think :)

[Tarryn]

i really don't like it, how some call her a bitch or snob, which she is definitely not

I don't like it either. None of us can help how we were brought up.
I just really wish she would end this boring showmance with Jackson.
It never ends well.

[Nicky91]

I somehow doubt the producers told her to be horrible about Jayne's looks. And if Georgina gets to be shielded by that excuse then the same should go for everyone else, surely.

well let's just hope Georgina can redeem herself with the public, i am really going through a hard time right now supporting her :(

yeah, i hope she can just tell him to be friends in the house, but nothing more than just friends :)

[Vicky.]

let's just hope she can regain her popularity, it's still early days right

Of course. Oddly enough she was my early fave. Now shes near bottom...Sam will always be bottom though I think

[Vicky.]

And the Jackson thing is doing her harm aswell as her raging hypocrisy. I hope jackson is evicted soon, I cannot stand him

I also suspect Georgina fancies Alex more :p

[Lostie!]

No need to be going through a hard time, a lot of people still like her.

Alex & Jackson to go in a real double eviction. I just wish this would happen but men like these two tend to stay until the end :sleep:

[Nicky91]

Of course. Oddly enough she was my early fave. Now shes near bottom...Sam will always be bottom though I think

sorry to hear that, i hope you can like her soon again :)



and i really don't want Georgina to be evicted just yet, she's got so much potential to give us :) , and i think there are worse housemates than her in my opinion

[Vicky.]

Oh i definitely don't want her evicted. She annoys the hell out me recently but adds a lot more to the show than many of the others

[Nicky91]

or maybe because she's a snobby bitch.:shrug:

what do you have against Georgina? :nono:

[kirklancaster]

If she DOES hail from an 'upper class' or 'upper middle class' background, then it is pretty safe to assume that her parents are comparably wealthy, and not only do wealthy middle or upper class people NOT become wealthy through being foolish, but they also are much more protective of their wealth.

When it comes, therefore, to her parents accepting any possible future son-in-law, a mixed race? 'working class' boy who already has a child will NOT be high on their list of favourites.

It is wrong, but the 'class' system still exists among the upper middle and upper classes, and if Georgina truly has feelings for him, then I fear that - unless her parents are extremely liberal - any hopes she or Jackson may have, are destined to be crushed upon them both leaving the 'false bubble' of the BB house and returning to reality.

Incidentally, in the E4 Reality Series; 'Taking New York' which Georgina starred in, her name is given as simply Georgina Leigh, not Georgina Leigh-Cantwell.

that's her full name :)


this is why she should tell Jackson just to be friends with him, and nothing more than friends, but she doesn't know how to properly express that to him, without hurting his feelings or saying something wrong :)

[Shaun]

She's gone from the house outsider to picking on the others I should imagine. She's made pretty uncalled for comments about Jayne and Hughie.

she's snobby, fake dull, boring and fame hungry willing a showmance, pity she's dug a hole with someone she would sneer at on the outside.:smug:

and i think she is a very sweet sensitive girl
i'm just saying this, because it's very hard now for me to support my favourite :)

just what i think is my honest opinion

I'm actually liking her more now, as we are at last seeing more of her character. I don't think she is losing support because of Jackson, as housemates are more likely to be judged on their own actions, rather than on someone they spend time with.

I would imagine it's a combination of things. Although, as I said, I like her more now, I think she has been hypocritical in her treatment of Jayne and a little insensitive towards Jackson, so these might be reasons. It might also be that as viewers get to know each of the housemates better, that they begin to see more of what they like in others, so that their favourites and support changes.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to support her, unless your views begin to change as you get to know her better. And if they do, there's nothing wrong in that, as we all reassess our views of people as we find out more about them-sometimes we might feel more positive about someone, sometimes we might feel more negatively and at other times we might just have our original views confirmed. The important thing is to really think about what you are seeing, and to not mindlessly continue supporting someone, if the evidence suggests that you shouldn't.

Just be true to yourself and your own feelings, despite what others think, as that is what really matters.

yeah i agree, but i felt i should post this thread to express my opinion :)

[Ross.]

Yeah this is why I've been put off her a bit (I still like her), moaning about Jayne wanting a cleaning rota when she was the one who spent the last week moaning about stuff like pillows on the floor lmao

[Tom4784]

She's a spineless hypocrite.

[Beso]

well she isn't, i'm sorry to have my own opinion :hehe:

oh i applaud your conviction, but you did ask the question and i gave the answer. seeing as you didn't know the answer perhaps you shouldn't dismiss the reasons so readily.:shrug:

I feel similarly to this. I never particularly liked her but she has risen in my rankings over the last couple of days because I felt before like she was overly guarded and moany, whereas like you say we're seeing more of a real person now.

I think she's always come across as a bit of a snob (sorry Nicky lol) so it surprises me that this would be a reason why so many people are suddenly turning against her now. That aspect of her aside though, she's starting to seem more likeable to me in other ways so yeah, that's why she's risen a bit for me.

[fitz2k2]

when someone shows you the child and all of sudden you don't speak to that person for 3hrs.that proves what kind of character she is.

[Dollface]

Maybe her lack of popularity now is due to her saying that men that get with Jayne must be "not shallow" and bitching about Jayne with the others regarding cleaning despite Georgina moaning just last week about the state of the house/lack of cleaning.

[Dollface]

Of course. Oddly enough she was my early fave. Now shes near bottom...Sam will always be bottom though I think

Same here. Cannot stand Sam.

[Nicky91]

Yeah this is why I've been put off her a bit (I still like her), moaning about Jayne wanting a cleaning rota when she was the one who spent the last week moaning about stuff like pillows on the floor lmao

yeah, moaning about Jayne, was also because she's going through a tough time, i think she doesn't really know how to express herself, about only wanting to be friends with Jackson without upsetting him, he said to her you are beautiful, gorgeous and a goddess, how can you explain then you have no feelings without hurting his feelings :)

[Nicky91]

well Lateysha was also moaning about Jayne, and she doesn't lose her fans




and about Georgina, okay just a incident with Jayne, but please don't vote to evict her, there are worse housemates than her

[billy123]

She is about as much fun as gonorrhoea. and almost as likeable as syphilis.
She is so miserable it looks like her mouth is on upside down.

I can't really see what Jackson has to do with Georgina's hypocrisy about cleaning :shrug:

[Shaun]

Sam will always be bottom though I think

Oh don't say that to him, he'll cry and whine about not being a "typical gay" or whatever

[Ross.]

well Lateysha was also moaning about Jayne, and she doesn't lose her fans

Lateysha wasn't moaning about cleaning last week though, Georgina was so its hypocritical of her to then moan about Jayne and cleaning

I don't know if you have ever read 'Mandingo', 'Drum', or any of the 'Falconhurst' novels by Kyle Onstott, Jamie, but they deal with slavery on a mid 19th century American deep south plantation.

Huge parts of the books deal graphically with the very real practice by the white men and women plantation owners being the ultimate abhorrent hypocrites in using male and female slaves for sexual gratification, whilst belonging to the class which deemed such slaves 'lower than animals'.

Not in the same league of course, but there is something distinctly hypocritical and off-putting in Georgina decreeing - rather sneeringly - that she would never introduce Jackson to her friends whilst coupling with him in the house.

[Nicky91]

Lateysha wasn't moaning about cleaning last week though, Georgina was so its hypocritical of her to then moan about Jayne and cleaning

no, but she was also against Jayne :)



okay i like you mate

[Nicky91]

okay, it wasn't fair from Georgina to moan about Jayne, i get everyone's point :)

I haven't read it but I love the analogy :laugh:

I'd be inclined to think that it's a case of 'he's good enough for one thing but not good enough to be introduced to the family' but the thing that stops that from ringing true to me is the fact that they're carrying on on a TV show. So although she's said what she's said about him meeting her family and friends, she knows that those people are seeing her with him, so surely it can't be something that bothers her that much? It makes me think that perhaps it was an off the cuff remark and we're reading more into it than she intended? I'm not sure, I'm sort of on the fence about it. I do think she displays some snobby behaviour and saying what she said hasn't helped her, but she also doesn't strike me as a 'false' person who'd lead someone on. I think I'd give her the benefit of the doubt till we've seen more of her.

[hot2go]

You already know why I cooled off....I liked the girl who was blunt and sometimes derogatory but was direct and funny with it...I didn't like that business with Andy...esp when 3 others ganged up on him over something she had either misunderstood or had taken out of context....they should have apologised to him but the only who realised they were wrong was Laura
Prior to that I was a massive fan and I still can't go completely against her..

As for why she's losing popularity I think it could be the potential showmance....don't think that's necessarily good thing for either of them.

[y.winter]

Tbh, I've quite gone off her in last couple of episodes. The showmance with Jackson is boring and her joining the bitch fest about Jayne - it's just not making me like her as much as I did. When she moaned about stupid things and was a contrast to the house it was nice and funny, now that she's "in the gang" it's a bit senseless.

i hope you can like her again soon :)

[Dominic]

Sam is a legend and deserves no hate

[Withano]

People loved her at the beginning for being funny and independent.. but she hasnt been this funny independent character for quite a few episodes now so it makes sense that shes less popular than before

Id imagine she'd still make a lot of peoples top 5

[Nicky91]

Sam is a legend and deserves no hate

this is a thread about Georgina i believe :)

[Denver]

she thinks she is gods gift and better then anyone

[Nicky91]

no that's Jackson who thinks she's a goddess, which she couldn't understand herself tbh

well it's early days right, and i really she stays for a longer while in the house, because in my opinion she still has potential to become a good housemate :)

[Withano]

well it's early days right, and i really she stays for a longer while in the house, because in my opinion she still has potential to become a good housemate :)

I think she'll probably make a steady decline in popularity from here on out

[Jordan.]

I'm guessing her initial fan base was from when she whined about the #1 public enemy Marco. Now he isn't there they realise she isn't all that

[Kazanne]

Of course. Oddly enough she was my early fave. Now shes near bottom...Sam will always be bottom though I think

Same for me Vicky,don't like Sam either

[OMGLattie]

I have to agree with what others said/pointed out that a lot of people probably sided with her because of her irritation with Marco (while other houseguests kissed his butt) and now that he is gone, they arent paying attention to her anymore because they dont need her. This week shes laid around with Jackson or moaned about Jackson and her while not really doing much else.

[BB247]

i mention this because she was first at 27% on here, now down to 17%



is it only because she's with Jackson, and people think she's a snob, which she's not, she's just a little confused what she should do, i hope she just tells him to be just friends with him, and nothing more, i like her around Jackson, she's really smiling and laughing when she's with him :)

and i think she is a very sweet sensitive girl



i'm just saying this, because it's very hard now for me to support my favourite :)



just what i think is my honest opinion

Because she's a stuck-up, spoilt, patronising, controlling,using little madame.:fist:
She's still attractive to look at.:hehe:

[BB247]

that is not very nice to say, she's just very confused what to do right now, asking herself questions, already thinking about outside bb with Jackson



her heart is in the right place, i know that :)

She doesn't have a heart look how she treated Jackson when he finally had the courage to tell her about his son - she just pissed herself laughing, very insensitive.

well she is not stuck up, or spoiled, i find her very sweet and i love being her fan :)


and she laughed because maybe she thought his son is cute, it was a very cute laugh and smile :)

[waterhog]

remember that would have been a deep shock to her - can you remember when you liked someone ? and if they dropped a bombshell like that - and its on tv.

[Nicky91]

remember that would have been a deep shock to her - can you remember when you liked someone ? and if they dropped a bombshell like that - and its on tv.

maybe she has got a secret crush at Jackson, but she's ashamed of what her family and friends might think about it, i saw them kissing together, very cute, she's really happy around him :)



look i liked her smiling when she saw Jackson's photo of his son, i think she must have thought, very cute but she was a little ashamed of her family is thinking at that moment
