Please....no freaks

[spacebandit]

No freaks.... Nikki - Marco etc


idiots looking for a "career in pop", which unfortunately seems to be the majority of the "good looking girls", and the likes of Spoiral, [I would include include Victor and Science but they have brains and use them, and while I doubt their musical aspirations at least they could help along an entertaining show]

No wannabe wags


whiny clueless idiots chosen for their screechability, Emma, Michelle Bass et al

Anyone with a brain the size of an amoeba, Stuart


any obviously chosen ones designed to tug on the emotions, Pete

Anyone who says the have to win for a dying or dead friend, family member or because they need to know heaven is real, they had a vision of God holdng a cheque etc etc.... Pete [again]

Anyone so blatantly chosen they can temper tantrum and demand anything they want from BB because by hook or by crook - Endemol is gonna make sure they win.... Nadia

Rule breakers dealt with fairly and evenly across the HM specrum

Tasks that engage the whole group, and with a regular frequency


I could go on, but hankering after a proper show like BB1 [as impossible as it would be to have something like that now in our me me me fame at any price culture] may be a dream scenario that I'm not gonna get - but I can only hope.


Basically a mix of 1 and 3, but I have to admit a smatterring of 5 wouldn't go amiss if its a character like Victor, scheming = good, so long as theres not someone with the temperament of borderline psychopath to take the wrong end of the stick - or an utter sh*t stirrer looking to get someone else to start with the fists by egging them on, then running away and pleading innocence like a whiny bitch when it kicks off - Marco again

:flowers:

Marco was not a freak, it was his character.

This is BB, so we shouldn't expect miracles! :laugh: We should all know by now that they do send wacky and outragous housemates in there.

And TBH they aren't freaks.. they are just unique!

[Mike]

The freaky sort of characters usually start off ok but then do downhill for example Nikki didn't seem that bad at first but then as the show progressed it got boring listening to her moan all the time, Marko on the other hand was not too bad because at times he was actually funny as well as annoying, the house needs someone like that in my opinion.

In a "this is bad, she shouldn't be on TV like this as she is unstable and I really shouldn't laughing at her" kind of way

which i think it good

how dare you class someone a "freak". I find that so offensive..... and wrong. Could you give me the definition of a freak and then come back to me....

Swearing is NOT allowed on this forum nor is insulting other members

The problem I had with Marco was that he was stirring others do do the dirty work, for me he stopped being funny when he baracked Jason to the point where he looked like he was going to get a slap [he deserved one IMO] - then ran and hid behind Emma and Nadia for "protection".

I don't find that kind of gutless stirring funny, especially as others paid the price for something he had a good hand in starting, his tears flowing in the DR where the biggest crocodile tears the show had seen, til Nikki and Pete that is

im a freak and i am proud!!!! lol lol lol :banana::wink::dazzler:

Bottom of my OP I said what I would like to see but know I'm not going to get - which as I understand it is one of the points of this kind of speculation on a board such as this.

I'll see what we get tonight, same as you.

[J.C.]

I don't think we will get a Shabazz Kitten or Ahmed type as that would be asking for trouble too early on. We should prepare ourselves for a very different type of group and possibly a very different type of Big Brother too. And given a chance it could easily be the best. In fact , if the management were a little less accident prone then every year should be better than the last.:thumbs:

I actually agree with you. The thing for me was though Marko played a decent part in what was a great series, yes he was an annoying character no doubt about that but it got others wound up and caused conflict.

That's not a definition of a "Freak" That is a definition of someone who is simply eccentric....

To be cruelly honest Nadia I think was the name sorry about my memory was of confused sex and could be regarded as a freak.......Freak is a horible word though and I think the more tolorent of us would not want to think of people in that way.

One think for certain Nikki and such ECCENTRICS are not in any way freaks.....

[thatsmyname]

I think the fact that the Pete 'tugged on people's emotions' is good thing - whether he was 'designed' to or not is irrelevant. I assume the producers chose him because they could see that he was a really lovely person who was completely different and unique to anyone who'd been on BB before; and that's what the public saw too. I thought it was great to see the public voting for someone who was actually a nice person for a change. Also I think Pete did have a vision (sounds like he was off his head on something when it happened) but that's what he saw and I don't understand why anybody should have a problem with that. It's a better motivation for going on BB than most people have.

sorry... i wasnt making an insult.... i was making a point that freak is not a good word to use.....The OED describes freak as a person or plant with a distinctive physical abnormality. so there......

[BB-Rocks]

Its obvious that someone will act like a "freak" during thre vt's, but once there in the house i think they will be less freakish lol.

[GiRTh]

Iagree with this thread, but unfortunately I think we're in for a house full of them.

In current usage, the word freak is used to refer a person with an unusual personality. The older usage, referring to the physically deformed, such as would be seen in a sideshow, has nowadays generally has fallen into disuse.



Thats from Wikipaedia.


You appear to have chosen a single specific usage of the word freak in order to make your case and ignoring the full definitions..... .


freak (STRANGE)
noun [C]
a thing, person, animal or event that is extremely unusual or unlikely and not like any other of its type:


freak
adjective
very unusual or unexpected:

In the context of my OP you should have checked the noun variant, but that would not have supported your POV

so there :tongue:

[GiGi]

i would trust the actually definition in the OED more Wikipedia.... but it doesnt really matter... lets move on...

i like the eccentric characters because they make it more fun..... i mean think about it if it wasnt for them big brother would just be a house full of anthony huttons and cameron stouts.

[Sunny_01]

I understand what you are saying Spacebandit.

I dont particularly want to watch a house full of idiots, drama queens/kings, attention seekers, BUT I do want to see some of that kind of person in the house if that makes any sense what so ever.

I want a good mix

Other definitions are from Cambridge, only the first from Wiki
don't actually have an OED at hand

[BeeBee]

Let's face it, it wouldn't be BB without a little freakishness....

As long as it's not another *ahem* witch ("Yeah, alright Mary - You're a witch, OK!")!!!

Same here, but theres just been too much of a bad thing the lsst couple of seasons, and certain HM's picked only for the sake of controversy.

No-one wants BB4 pt 2, but thanks to the actions of certain HMs in CBB its a possibility.

Like I said earlier, for me the dream show would be a mix of 1, 3 and 5.

1 for the [mostly] ordinariness of the HM's.

3 because it was pretty much fun all the way - few bullying things coud have done without, but the tasks were pretty good and the HM's characters were well matched, which I think is the most important thing. Although we began to see stupidity hailed as a virtue and reason for fame, something that has always troubled me

5 started with the over the top characters too much, but did have the advantage of a couple of blatantly scheming admitted gameplayers who were able give back what they got, however it was given - when it was verbal it was the most fun to watch but then the idiots couldn't handle it and pushed the boat out, the tempers flared and it started to get uncomfortable to watch in places, the winner was obviously chosen, Nadia made demands of BB and got away with it every time and it became a car crash programme.

6 had its moments, but the selection of some A1 category lowlives to take part was obviously a deliberate ploy for attention of the wrong sort. But I have to admit that even for car crash tv it was hypnotic to watch at times, but sometimes disturbing, especially Craigs amorous intentions on Anthony.... and the rest of the Maxwell klan, though their downfall was a joy to watch :devil:

7 was fixed from the getgo.




A good mix of HMs and a show that is some of 1 mixed with 3 and 5 and a sprinkling of 6 for flavour

[the_chosen_one]

Spacebandit, I dont agree with some of things you are saying but i agree with some of them. I dont want to see people causing trouble (like the example you give of Marcus) but I think you have been very unfair to brand people freaks for the reasons such as 'tugging on heart strings' and wanting to do something for their family. If someone is doing the competition for good reasons like Pete, then I think they should be encouraged to do it, and not be called a freak and prevented from taking part.

I think there are certain types of people who will be good for BB shows and you have described alot of them in your opening post, the types of people who will make good TV and have fun with the other housemates. Aslong as there are no people looking to start fights and arguments, I think it will be OK.

[Chrizzle]

Not fair to call them 'freaks'
Imo theres been no freaks in Big Brother. They are people and deserve a chance to be in Big Brother.

If there wasnt unique characters we'd get a repeat of BB4, and then youd be moaning.

[Rory]

I think we can all say this...nobody like Pete.

He played up to the cameras more than anyone.

[MarkWaldorf]

I agree Rory. I was looking back on footage last night and noticed that.

I hope there BB5 type people, that was a great series. But not too similar.
