How does wallpaper like Ricky get voted top of a save vote?

[ThriceShy]

I think the voting needs looking into. He isn't just any old wallpaper......he is that anaglypta stuff that people just painted magnolia in the 70s.

He actually makes housemates like Maysoon look interesting.

Is it just eastenders fans voting or what? I honestly forget he is in the house most of the time.

And you took two days to come up with this thread

[Gusto Brunt]

It's like a painting and decorating conference in there.

Masses of wallpaper from Sam, Katie, Ricky...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Katie Price didn't actually do anything. She turned up about a week to go to the final. She said about three words and she won by a landslide.

Ricky does have a bit of a temper. He doesn't show violence but you can see he is seething inside.

Don't watch Eastenders...I just like Ricky because he's amazing eye candy and actually seems to have something going on inside his head.

Ricky smiles when he's announced the winner.
Congratulations to your CBB winner.

[Daffodil]

I never watch Eastenders (horrible programme, shudder shudder) ... but I understand Ricky's character was called 'Fatboy'. How comes? He is not fat!:huh:

[Vanessa]

eastenders fans voting.

[Garfie]

I think it's a reflection of the others up for eviction, and a case that viewers are fed up with the likes of the ridiculous Bear and the smug Lewis, as well as the somewhat delusional comments of Sam.

In other circumstances, in a different series and with different housemates, I don't think Ricky would have come out top in a vote to save. And he certainly would not have a chance of winning.

However, I don't believe this vote is about Ricky at all.

This is not an Eastenders vote, but a protest vote, and the large majority of viewers sending a clear message to the likes of Bear and Lewis (and probably BB) that they've had enough of the fake, regurgitated 'performances' of those from what are ironically referred to as 'reality' shows, in which there is more acting than there is on Eastenders, but of a very poor quality.

It is a protest vote from genuine long term fans of CBB who don't want to see the show they love become just another version of GS, EOTB, TOWIE, etc. It is a protest vote for genuine, decent housemates with morals over the infantile, selfish, conceited and one-dimensional housemates whose bullying and degrading actions have suffocated other housemates and destroyed this series, making it the worse CBB we have ever had.

[hot2go]

It's just some viewers guilt manifesting itself for secretly liking any of the others ...

The con artist, the unfit mother, the racist, the love cheat, the gangsters wife, the Hitler supporter, the porn star granny, the Brother exploiting his sisters fame, the big head female, the big head male, the 43 year old Boominator who picks on young girls.

Now James has gone they only have Ricky left and even he likes to have a Tommy Tank on live web cams with a joint in one hand and his todger in the other.

Don't know why Bear is the only poster boy for this shower of reprobates....he's in good company IMO.

[jet]

Anti bully vote.
Good versus evil.
Moral over amoral.
Real over fake
Mature over immature
Sensitive over insensitive

Is that enough for now?

[Vanessa]

Ricky was always going to top the vote. Eastenders has a massive audience. Ex on the beach is also popular, but i doubt it gets as many viewers. But enough to keep Bear in. So these two being the top two makes sense to me.

[caprimint]

Katie Price didn't actually do anything. She turned up about a week to go to the final. She said about three words and she won by a landslide.
Yeah, she won based on the anti-Katie Hopkins vote and the same could very well happen with Ricky and the anti-Bear vote. It's pretty tragic in all honesty.

If they ever did a 'young teen BB' Bear would fit better I think. Although many of the teens would be more mature and less self centred so maybe a 'below 12 BB' would be more suitable?

Nothing wrong with wallpaper x

[Jamie89]

I would literally vote for a sheet of wallpaper over someone like Bear. Also a paint roller, a set of overalls... etc etc

I'm pretty sure it's not this :laugh:

Yeah, she won based on the anti-Katie Hopkins vote and the same could very well happen with Ricky and the anti-Bear vote. It's pretty tragic in all honesty.

I really disliked Katie Hopkins, and probably would have voted for anyone except her, regardless of who they were, but I loved Katie Price so I don't think she won because of that (and I wasn't a fan of hers before the show, I actually couldn't stand her before CBB, so it wasn't a pre-existing fanbase vote from me). I know none of that's really relevant :laugh: but it always gets said about Katie Price's win when actually I think a lot of people like myself just thought she was a great housemate.

[Withano]

What a bizarre thing to say. Who are these metaphorical STD images?:shrug:

I was following your metaphor. If Ricky is wallpaper, Bear and Lewis are giant STD posters. Giving the options, its fairly obvious to understand why the wallpaper topped the vote.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Don't forget Katie Price and Ulrika Jonsson. :eek:

Yes, Katie Price and Ulrika are two of the best winners ever and top 20 CBB HMs :love:

[Garfie]

If they ever did a 'young teen BB' Bear would fit better I think. Although many of the teens would be more mature and less self centred so maybe a 'below 12 BB' would be more suitable?

Yes, but once he's had his 15 mins of fame, he could set himself up in business as a kids' party entertainer- maybe that's what his plan is!

I start a thread saying that Ricky is like wallpaper and you post that some other housemates are STD posters. Just bizarre.

Even if the metaphor made sense, the thread isn't about them. You have plenty of threads you can slate Bear in. No need to hijack this one.

[Kazanne]

What's boring to some isn't to others,I don't find Ricky boring at all,what I do find boring is some immature twat trying to make people feel intimidated and thinking he is something special,take away Bears childish talk and behaviour and what do you have left ? an empty shell.meanwhile you can have a deep and meaningful chat with Ricky as he has a fully functioning brain.

The exactitudes of this particular vote aren't the point I am making. In a wider sense, I am asking how such non-existant housemates can top votes to save.

The upshot, in my mind, is that winners and losers are just being decided on the size of the audience of the programme that the housemate comes from.

But don't let me disturb your pathological bear slating in every randon thread.

[ThriceShy]

We were told that vote to save was better than vote to evict and that the interesting housemates would stay.

It hasn't worked. All the sheep who watch programmes like eastenders just seem to vote on that basis.

I think Marnie will win based on Geordie Shore's current popularity.

Youre probably confused about the result because you're rejecting the information we have lol...
The information we have is the people he was up against, fans of Big Brother would rather see Ricky than the 4 competitors he was up against.
You rejecting this information is why you dont understand, hope that clears things up

Maybe stop using question marks if you don't actually want the answer to avoid this in future.

No that isn't how voters think.

They don't pick the phone up and think "hmm that Ricky bloke is boring as **** but I like him a little bit more than that bellend Lewis so I will vote for Ricky."

Voting costs money. Something has to motivate people to pick up the phone and spend money voting. It isn't Ricky's personality doing that. The mouth-breathers have just seen someone from "Walford" and voted for them because "Eastenders is dead good innit."

Oh.. Youre genuinely confused? I thought you just didn't want to concede lol. Um, you're underestimating the anti-vote. It definitely exists, and its definitely enough motivation for a lot of people. I dont know of anybody in person or on forums who vote based on the tv shows that they enjoy but that could be another theory too. Although, its unlikely because James beat Marnie once.. Thats more like down to the anti-vote.

[Anya]

I think the voting needs looking into. He isn't just any old wallpaper......he is that anaglypta stuff that people just painted magnolia in the 70s.

He actually makes housemates like Maysoon look interesting.

Is it just eastenders fans voting or what? I honestly forget he is in the house most of the time.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How did we not see that he was opting out the whole time. No feathering the other night and no egg nog tonight. The Americans are so putting Ricky up tomorrow. He is no craic and what we Irish would call a dry-sh1t which is similar to wallpaper! Bye bye Ricky

I agree that it's a protest vote. The reality "stars" are ruining the show, with their lousy acting skills, showmances, idiot scenarios, and soft porn. Marnie faking a nervous breakdown because Lewis left, and OMG, she won't see him for six days, and the women crowding around, pretending to believe she was grieving, was an insult to our intelligence. A little bit of "let's pretend" can be fun, but not the all-out witless performances of people like Bear.

Yeah, and I'm sure the housemates 8 (EIGHT) hours in bed wouldn't have been riveting. Nor the time each spend on the toilet emptying their bowels.

But hey-ho they have to live in that confined space 24/7, do you want him doing cartwheels all day everyday?

It is a protest vote from genuine long term fans of CBB who don't want to see the show they love become just another version of GS, EOTB, TOWIE, etc. It is a protest vote for genuine, decent housemates with morals over the infantile, selfish, conceited and one-dimensional housemates whose bullying and degrading actions have suffocated other housemates and destroyed this series, making it the worse CBB we have ever had.

Yes, that just about sums it up for me.
The VTS has a lot to do with it, we can't vote to evict those we want to so choose an opposite character to save.
Bear would have been out on his arse by week two with VTE.

[Shaun]

Believe it or not, some people like and support normal, nice and genuine people, hence why the likes of Ricky and Sam are getting support, not everyone likes loud, obnoxious twats that take joy from hurting people and upsetting them.

I was just about to do a clap emoticon or something and then I just thought: WHY THE HELL DID YOU SUPPORT HELEN THEN

Liam is a Queen of Forgiveness?

[Shaun]

He's a queen of something alright [/needless homophobia]

[Ammi]

...jeeez, that was just a phase, let's not stay with the Helen years and Liam-....ONE TIME..!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............

[Liam-]

Helen was my exception to that rule, we all have a past!

[Shaun]

He called her the greatest c5 hm the other day he clearly is relapsing.

[Liam-]

I do love me some WooWoo tbf and I'm not all that big of a Ricky fan, I just naturally prefer him to the likes of Bear.

[Cherie]

Couldn't they empty their bowls in the bin or sink like normal people?:joker:

:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

I think the voting needs looking into. He isn't just any old wallpaper......he is that anaglypta stuff that people just painted magnolia in the 70s.

He actually makes housemates like Maysoon look interesting.

Is it just eastenders fans voting or what? I honestly forget he is in the house most of the time.

Three things in his corner.

1. Eastenders fans
2. Looks
3. Taking on Bear

In fact taking on Bear is why his not as disliked on here as he normally would be I reckon.

Oh dear ....anyone would think the house bore had seen a bad tweet against him pointing out he's a boring twat .....Give it up Ricky, you're not interesting or remotely funny :bored::pat:

I like Helen too,nothing wrong with that,she wasn't as bad as some painted her,I also like Ricky who is the polar opposite to Helen but both interesting people and I feel you could at least have a decent conversation with them.

[chuff me dizzy]

I don't watch an ENTERTAINMENT show to see women putting on their make up, unemployed people washing the dishes and prancing queens who's eyes never leave the mirrors, I watch to have a laugh ....there only one person who's provided that laugh this series Bear

Interesting enough to keep on posting links to videos which include him though

[Robodog]

Ricky is popular, not for anything he has done (he hasn't really done anything) but he is popular just for who he is.

Eastenders helps but that alone wasn't enough save Gillian (Kathy Beale) or Cheryl (Heather Trott) but Ricky has the edge for being younger, being on BOTS alot and talking in that typical fake daft 'streetwise' Ali G voice that is so popular nowadays.

Plus people vote Ricky for the Anti-Bear vote. His only memorable moment was saying to Bear 'you are an ugly human being'. That was enough for people to think 'urrr.. if Bear is a villain then Ricky must be the HERO'. Basic public pantomime reaction. Boo the bad guy and therefore cheer anyone else who stands against him.

Honestly if the final was between Bear and a teaspoon then the the spoon would win simply because it 'isn't Bear'. It's happening now in the USA, people will vote for Hillary not because they like her but because they like Trump less. The media makes Trump out to be 'the villain' so whoever the other guy is must get the vote, just as long as it isn't Trump! Maybe Trump stood for office as a clever plan to 'be the bad guy' to make sure Hillary got in, who knows? Not outrageous to think that, seeing as she was even at his wedding in 2005 - google it!

As for Ricky being the other guy who is 'Not Bear' - he can now just sit back, not do any tasks, not even say much and still win the show.

Eastenders + Stupid street voice + Standing up to the show's 'villain' = easy, boring winner.

So, he does "nothing" and he's a bore. He does something and he should "give it up".

He can't really win. Maybe you need to give it up?

[Amy Jade]

Same way Jason did and you approved of that :laugh:

[Marsh.]

If he was that boring we'd see nothing of him, yet there's all these videos you're posting and feel the need to keep going on and on about it.

Almost like you fear he'll beat Bear.

[Amy Jade]

He can't win, i've seen the same on facebook, he gets called boring, but when he does something it's false...or contrived...and nobody followed by #beartowin

And some people dont like to watch reality shows to watch people act.. (I understand that you two do and I would deeply recommend watching towie, geordie shore and ex on the beach instead, its more your thing) Its just a bit silly that people cant see why someone as gross as Bear may be disliked

[Liam-]

I notice Chuff is still referring to Frankie as the 'dancing queen' then, casual homophobia is great.

Your judgement of who is "gross" can be taken with a pinch of salt since you declared that Aubrey spitting in Bear's food wasn't a big deal.

Right.. But I acknowledge that it could offend others, that the warning was justified and that I understood the uproar about it. Acting as if Bear is great tv and there isn't a second side to the argument is what I'm discussig (maybe read thread before joining mid-convo). Theres two sides to every argument, youd do well to remember this.

If the word was prancing it had eff all to do with Abba then. :pat:

Not on the ball today.

And the great judges of characters was proved right the day after when Bear asked her to spit directly in his mouth.

[Liam-]

Well he's nothing to do with Abba and whether it was prancing or dancing (which I've seen you use multiple times) you're only using that term because he's gay and you're using it in a negative way, which is homophobic and that's not very nice is it? as Bear would say, that's very narrstee behaviour.

I started the thread. You could perhaps try and keep it on topic. It isn't even about bear. You have lots of threads that you can throw your dummy on the floor of. There is no need to hijack this one.

However, Bear IS great TV. I see nothing wrong in his antics.

The thread is about Bear.. Its also about Lewis, James, Sam and Ricky. Although youve already made it clear you dont actually want the answer to your question, so I dint think anybody really knows.

The thread is about all those who faced eviction in the vote Ricky topped.
It's right there in the discussion title.

No the thread is about Ricky and how he could possibly top ANY vote to save with any bunch of housemates. He has had about 5 minutes of coverage in the highlights and he was washing the pots for 4:45 of that.

Who he was up against is irrelevant.

Idgi though. Like, what's the point in questioning why a housemate got the most votes? There's no conspiracy behind it. It's simple, more people decided to pick up the phone and vote for Ricky than they did for Bear, Sam, Lewis and James. It's nothing really to stress over :shrug:

I just can't wait for this series to be over so the debates stop (Jason and Bear fans vs everyone else has been more tiring than Katie Hopkins vs Perez :))

Anti bully vote.
Good versus evil.
Moral over amoral.
Real over fake
Mature over immature
Sensitive over insensitive

Is that enough for now?

that's fatboy, not the sweaty camshank man.



half his voters will still be amazed he survived the crusher.:joker:

This is a little confusing! You say the thread is about how Ricky could top any vote to save. This is clearly prompted by Friday's result.

Your question, therefore, basically requires people to consider the reason for his positioning in the vote, i.e. why he came top, rather than bottom or somewhere in between.

Therefore, a response to your question, makes it necessary to consider his competition in the vote, in order to try to explain why he was ranked above them. Yet, you say that who he was up against is irrelevant. How can it be when the discussion is about ranking? :shrug:

He's coming top of the vote because of who the alternate choices are for voters. :joker:
