Richard, bit boring but seems like a nice fella. Ali was painfully righteous

[Ray.]

What a delightful image of Richard in the OP. Playful, mischievous, soothing, a twinkle in the eye, etc.

Whilst Ali is clearly mid argument. :laugh:

[Ray.]

Whilst Ali is clearly mid argument. :laugh:

Absolutely. Dead-eyed, confrontational, condescending, self-righteous. God it tired me out, just looking at that picture.

[Liam-]

I like Richard well enough, but Ali is obviously the far superior housemate

[Christmas Dynasnow]

She would have hated Richard

[JingleJones]

She would have hated Richard

She would have hated every straight man in there :joker:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Tate would have been the target for sure

[millyrose]

Richard by a mile, Ali was awful

[thesheriff443]

Richard hasn’t won yet

[FromBB8]

Tate would have been the target for sure

Ali v Tate would have been very similar to Ali v Marcelo, I imagine.

Marcus may have been more of a Khaled.

[Peppermint]

Ali, I loved her and Lily in that series. I like Richard but I do think Caroline got him most of his popularity

Marcello and Tate are both awful but Marcello was far worse

[Zizu]

Marcello and Tate are both awful but Marcello was far worse


Yeah


Marcello was a slimeball

[Katmieow]

Richard by Miles, I loathed Ali and her narcissistic psycho babble

I much preferred Ali.
Richard is okay but Ali far better in my view.

No real comparison really for me anyhow.

[In the Drunk Tank]

I quite like Ali on L&L now but didn't like her at all as a housemate. Very nasty and manipulative

I don’t recall any of that …

Even so the house is a pressure cooker so people will all react differently ..

She bullied poor Khaled and Marcello and made them doubt themselves when they were both lovely lads

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Ali, I loved her and Lily in that series. I like Richard but I do think Caroline got him most of his popularity

I don't think she was trying to make him popular though :laugh:

[Zizu]

That’s from your viewpoint..

I loved Ali and detested that slimeball Marcello

[Ray.]

Marcello and Tate are both awful but Marcello was far worse

I can understand finding Marcello repugnant (even if I think the level of derision expressed was grossly disproportionate to his actual conduct in the house), but what's been particularly objectionable about Tate? :laugh: Literally the only thing he's done that's bad imo is being a bit unduly short with Emily.

Tate was a good housemate.. wasn’t keen on all that bible stuff but it is what it is

[Adamw92]

Ali :love:

[Thotmas]

Feels like Ali won 2 years ago not last year

[Merry Mockmas]

Ali was more unlikable imo, but she was more interesting than Richard to watch.

Richard with all due respect only had a fanbase thanks to Caroline.

[Merry Mockmas]

She would have hated Richard

Well he is a man.

[Merry Mockmas]

Marcello and Tate are both awful but Marcello was far worse

Marcello was funny imo.

And Tate's a good guy I think, and I can see why he found Emily irritating after that eviction interview.:laugh:

[Merry Mockmas]

She bullied poor Khaled and Marcello and made them doubt themselves when they were both lovely lads

She made it so that Marcello and Khaled were scared to tell jokes around her.:laugh:

[Zizu]

Marcello was creepy

All those sexual comments towards the females and instigating play fighting/ wrestling with Lily or whoever … then it comes out that he works with young people …

Gruesome

[romeofahey]

As a person Richard. As a character, Ali, even though I do not like her

[Peppermint]

I don't think she was trying to make him popular though :laugh:
Yeah :hehe:

Marcello's comments were literally vile and the way he spoke towards people was so rude. Tate definitely isn't in the same league, but calling Emily "jarring" whilst spending a decent amount of time with her and his general overall vibe has always given me "superior alpha calm good guy" energy. He's got a reserved arrogantness that makes him super unlikeable imo

He likes women?:omgno:

Somebody call the police!

And there's nothing wrong with Marcello and Lily both consenting to a fake Wrestling match, because by that logic Tate this series was being creepy when Wrestling with Elsa in that one episode in the Living Room.

They said they didn’t like the constant sexual comments - so that’s not acceptable

That’s not the same as Mercello .. plus Lily was vulnerable and innocent ..

It was always Marcello instigating everything

[Merry Mockmas]

Yeah :hehe:

Tbf, Emily is annoying going by the eviction interview tonight.:laugh:

Who? Ali was the only one that we saw take an issue with Marcello out of the women.

Sarah, Emma, Baked Potato, Hanah, and Lily all liked him.

[Ray.]

It feels like male housemates are damned if they do, damned if they don't lol. If they're yelling, they're being aggressive, and if they're quiet, they're projecting a superior alpha energy. :idc:

But isn't Elsa vulnerable and innocent?

Marcus raising his voice to Elsa was equated to a domestic abuser by some people.

BB has a large section of it's audience that despises men, especially young men.

People will try and deny it, but it's 100% true.

[Zizu]

You aren’t seriously comparing Marcello instigating physical contact with Lily to Teja and Elsa copying Marcus and Tate acting out a bit of WWE ?

Absolutely, it's not difficult to spot. :pipe: Not necessarily including caprimint in this when we say that though. In that case, I think it's mostly down to Tate slandering her favourite HM lol. :laugh:

Wrestling is Wrestling at the end of the day, it's a lot of the same moves.

Oh I wasn't thinking of Caprimint when making my point.

She seems to be a more balanced member when it comes to the men and women on BB from what I've noticed.

[Zizu]

I guess you just messing now


Night night mate !

I think it was more the thing he was yelling at her about was so ridiculous to be reactive over.. I don't remember what it was, though

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Sorry but Ali's Instagram skills couldn't be as good as this:

See you later Zizu.:wavey:

Oh he was being silly from what I remember about the argument.

But the "abusive" claims were even more crazy.:laugh:

No he wasn't being abusive, but it was not a very good side of Marcus and it made him come across horribly... I would see it as a red flag for a potential partner to be screamed at like a child by someone I haven't known that long, but my tolerance is really low for that kind of thing.

It's easily resolved though by not dating that person. Elsa is not a Disney Princess that needs saving. She can make a good choice if it becomes a problem for her... some people like the screaming yell-y thing.

That's fair.
