She's caused the biggest uproar but let's not forget she was a nothing housemate before all this, and she's one of the few villains who is a despicable person and deserves no fans.

Makosi and Bea will always be my favourite villains, they stirred up so much **** and never went as bad Roxanne

She went too far for me to enjoy her individually as a villain. She was entertaining in the sense that her downfall in last nights highlights were amazing, but I also feel like she’s just that evil sometimes it’s hard to watch, tho maybe that makes her a good one? Like there’s other villains on big brother that are enjoyable to watch and their shenanigans but like watching roxy just makes me feel ill

She outraged and shocked me more because she tried to come across as a pathetic victim.

Bear, Marc, Perez, Helen, Connor revelled in being the bad guy and played it to the max.

It will have to be seen if I dislike Roxanne more than the others in time. At the moment I do but it is early days and still a bit raw.

No don't get me wrong I don't like any of the people you mentioned and Helen and Bear were two of the vilest ***** ever but them and those other people still had the same mentality of 'im on my own and people are against me!!!' despite them all deserving it for committing some of the vilest actions ever, and I suppose Roxanne is quite similar to that except I think she does it better because with her she actually got justice served to her whereas the others were celebrated, which is peculiar for people who are rather similar in theory

A 'BB Super-Villain' is something you'd say almost with a cheeky wink

Perez, Helen, Bear, Victor, Nasty Nick etc - all their drama is about things happening inside the house: nominations, big rows etc.

Roxanne went to another level, WAY more serious. Her actions threatened to destroy a person's career if not their life.


Super-villain is too 'fun' a word for the seriousness of her actions. You don't muck around with subjects like that.

Good that it sparked a national conversation, but if it had gone another way: Ryan could have been ruined.

Perez threatened rape, Helen compared someone to a murderer/rapist and Bear used homophobic and sexist language, encouraged a female to flash another housemate and was violent and invasive of people's personal space and mental well-being.

No way.

ROxanne's actions were very serious, with potential for devastating effects on Ryan's life and career.

Anything outrageous that those others said in the heat of the moment, simply does not compare.

Saying someone looks like a rapist isn't calling them a rapist. If you think that anything Helen did was worse than what Roxanne did, you really need to get your head checked.

Rape, murder and psychopathy are serious matters, as much as domestic abuse is. It's not something to toss around as an insult willy nilly. Helen intimidated people at the drop of a hat, vindicated and dragged out issues against people, yelled abuse at certain people even while they were shaking on the verge of tears, a vile bully.

Roxanne falsely declared someone beat her up when they didn't and made a tit of herself within 24 hours. A panto cretin

She only said it once. And why?

Because for the 3rd time that week, Brian was AGAIN standing over her, shouting abuse about her being 'vile and disgusting', while he was being physically restrained by other male HMs.

She had not bullied him once. He was bullying her.

She had every right to retaliate to his disgusting verbal abuse and physically threatening behaviour with whatever words she wanted.

Nothing about that scenario, neither Brian's intimidation or Helen's reaction to it compares to Roxanne's calculated attempts to take someone down for real.

Get some perspective.

She said it three times in a row followed by 'BRIAN KEEP PLAYING INTO MY HANDS.'

He wasn't standing over her to abuse her, they had a task where you had to assign a housemate as an answer to a harsh question and you had to stand up. He only shouted abuse at her after she told him to get a straightjacket, nasty **** should've been more abused by him she got off lightly

Helen abused him calling saying he looked like a murderer and rapist while he sat shaking not doing anything. An actual bully, Roxanne was just a manipulator.

I'm not even defending Roxanne but to drag Hel(l)en in as a saint is an utterly pointless thing to include in this thread

Right but didn't Helen say “You can’t tell me what to do. Your friend can *********g die for all I care" in reference to Victor, and also called him a cokehead? A tad vile

Oh and no matter what Brian did it doesn't justify what Helen said about Brian lmao. It gives reason yes but she shouldn't be excused because Brian was rattled by Helen

And also comments aimed at Epic saying "Psycho" is against the rules... it's best to avoid name-calling if you want your point to stand ground (especially when defending Helen Wood in regards to her name-calling and comments)

1. They both had beef. But Brian went beyond the verbal: he needed physical restraint by Danny etc while he delivered his angry tirade at her.

I mean helens vile but her and roxy are two different beasts entirely?
Helen was more brute and honest with her more vile demeanour. Screaming and antagonising people 24/7, forming cliques and bullying people in the most obvious ways possible. Hurling horrible insults like cokehead or rapist, but that’s what they were. Insults. In roxannes case stuff like woman beater were real accusations that she was willing to go through the leg room to do something about. She was vile in a more ominous and sneaky sense. She was willing to put on fronts and be more dishonest to do bad things, whereas Helen was willing to be honest that she was a vile bitch that made everyone uncomfortable. Not to mention Rox was playing with delicate situations too like domestic assault, and her conviction extended further than the big brother house as this apparently wasn’t the first time she pulled something like this.

Helen was more like getting hit with a bat, Roxanne is more like a slow acting poison.

The difference is though she didn’t accuse Brian of rape or murder? She said he was a psycho (which I’m pretty sure most people have used off the cuff to refer to others). Brian was literally stood saying she had no class and calling her a tramp (are you forgetting he was pretty aggressive as well?) i’ll never get the notion that Helen bullied Brian. It was pretty 50/50, except Brian couldn’t take what he dished out to Helen.

God no it was awful! I felt so sorry for him in the diary room but I won't apologize for being entertained by the whole thing. I think most found it thoroughly compelling but want their moment on the imaginary pedestal.

When they were all talking about Rox and she walked in I was howling haha

Ah ok, I get what you mean. I was proper angry at what she'd done and would rather it hadn't happened for Ryan's but it was impossible to switch off from. Its the most invested I've been in CBB for years

I think the problem here is the word "entertaining"

It smacks that seeing people going through upset and distress is somewhat enjoyable.

Fascinating, Compelling doesn't give the same enjoyment factor because it was both of these, gripping watching, it's just the word entertaining doesn't sound right under these circumstances.
