Every year the public votes out the most entertaining housemates, then complain when the show gets boring. They never sem to learn from their mistakes in previous series. It really annoys me.

Lisa, who has provided us with barely any entertainment was up for eviction in week 1, yet Steph went. Steph done more in that week than Lisa will do in the whole series. Lisa isn't likely to be nominated again in a hurry, and was only up in the first place because they failed their secret mission. At any oppurtunity the dull housemates are up, we should evict them because who knows when they will next be up? It happened last year with Carole and Tracey. They were up in the first eviction with Shabnam then Billi the next (who both went) and they sailed through for a couple of months without being nominated. The same will happen for Lisa, Mohammed etc.

It's bad enough with the boring housemates not being nominated (Rachel) so when they are we should seize the oppurtunity.

This year's BB has almost already ran out of momentum due to big characters going and it's got a massive 9 weeks left.

It makes me angry that the audition process is intended to find dynamic interesting people. And the ones which are exactly that are evicted within a few weeks which almost makes the effort of the auditions pointless.

The only "entertaining" housemates that's gone is Dennis.
Jennifer isn't entertaing and all Alex did was moan and spoil the fun, so I think you're wrong.

I'm not talking about Jennifer because she hasn't been evicted (yet). And Alex and Dennis were removed, so wasn't down to the public. Obviously it's down to personal preference who you find entertaining but I think Steph and Sylvia were potentially stars of the series.

Sylvia was potentially the most entertaining housemate but I think Steoh was dull and boring.

I totally agree. People can easily see from the series, Steph done more in 9 days than Mario or Lisa have done in 25

It never will change while it's vote to evict.The majority will always vote to get rid of people they don't like rather than someone boring.

You cant blame the British public. They vote out the people they hate. Thats the point of the show , and the voting system. Their not obsessed fans/seers who look ahead to the future before choosing to dial a number.

But the Public Hate Jen
due to that Fight
and the day after.
She got control over two men Stu/Dale
When a housemate gets that Evil
they will go.

And Jen is so down
she is a waste of space.


Jen Goes Friday
hard to bet on it
as the betting shops Know she is going.

I'm not an obsessed fan, far from it. I can just emotionally detach myself from how I feel for a housemate in favour of entertainment.

I don't
actually care
if Jen goes
because I think
Rex is
equally entertaining
as her. And I
think we may see a different side to
some of the other housemates (i.e. Bex)
if she goes.

I do agree to an extent about keeping the entertaining HM's in. I have disliked many in the past but wanted them to stay in because it was funny (Charley, Makosi, Jason etc) but I think when you're watching the show and actually getting irritated it's a different story (Jennifer, Dennis...)

Tasks and people going in.

Housemates should make the series, not uninspired twists thought up by the producers.

We need new housemates, only because so many big characters have gone.

Two peoples definition of entertaining completely differ.

To you, the most entertaining and likely to make fun in the house are leaving. Bad times.

To me, the people who make me want to uppercut my screen are leaving. Good times.

02-07-2008, 03:56 PM
I dont think it's that big an issue. Each series seems to survive the big characters going.

I was trying to think of a good topic on this subject but it was going to be more along the line of - Do people prefer big characters dominating the show or do they prefer to observe the group dynamic. I prefer the latter so I'm not sad or concerned or even bothered about any particular HM leaving the show.

Erm not really, please don't speak on behalf of me. :thumbs:

Steph was fun. Sylvia was fun. Housemates like Lisa just want to go to bed early and fondle Mario and pick his spots. Not my idea of entertaining.

02-07-2008, 04:03 PM
I used to say this but at the end of the day, Lauren is spot on.

When Nikki was evicted i was like WHAT ITS A TRAVESTY, but some people didnt like Nikki, hense why she was evicted.

If they are evicted- the majority of the public dont want them there. So therefore they 'deserve' to be evicted.

Its a part of BB- and sometimes it makes it even more entertaining because we get juicy interviews at the beginning.

You say it's a part of Big Brother but I can never remember it being this bad. It's as though the public find someone to hate for the sake of it. Evictions used to be really excited and ceremonious, mainly due to the fact that you couldn't predict who was going to go. Now they're are just boring.

Chrizzle
02-07-2008, 04:15 PM
Entertaining people always go. It depends on how you define entertainment

I think Sam should have stayed over Roberto in BB6
I think Kinga should have been evicted instead of Craig
I think Michelle should have stayed over Jason
I think Nikki should have stayed in BB7

But whats the point in complaining about it?
I used to- but Im over it.

Big Brother always finds a way of making the series an entertaining one to watch.

True, but people do have a right to complain about it. Like you said everyone's definition of entertainment is different.

"Big Brother always finds a way of making the series an entertaining one to watch."

Did you watch BB8?

Chrizzle
02-07-2008, 04:21 PM
Yes, I did watch BB8.

And although it wasnt the best series, it hads its moments.

I don't think BB8's problem was good housemates going, it was bad choices by BB. Halfway House ruined it.

Yes - They should put 5 new in right now

The alternative reason that people may vote HM's out that appear to be entertaining is because they lose the ability to continue to be in the house and continue with the experience. How many of us would secretly like to be in there but to watch bitchy, nasty behaviours coming from HM's when you of course will be so much better!!!

After all they get nominated due to negative behaviour towards other HM's and if anyone is to blame for the 'big characters' leaving is the 'big characters' themselves.

In the early stages you have to hover under the radar a bit to avoid nomination - but saying that even Rachel and Kat got nominated - but cannot accuse them of being boring.

I like Bex and Luke when they have a larf but if Luke was not there not sure if I would like Bex. Sometimes I am glad Mario stayed although wanted him out initially. Think Mario and Lisa's musing make me chuckle!

I think the problem is attractive girls get voted out very easily. Like Sylvia for example. Even some of the most innocent housemates have been evicted for being fit and that should be stopped.

Steph's the only one who I felt angry about.

Only if you find bitching and moaning and being a whinging toddler entertaining then all the entertaining housemates have gone/are going.

Could not agree more. Sadly it won't change because so many play BB like a fairground shooting gallary and shoot them down as soon as they become noticed instead of realizing that a pshchology based format needs to played with psychology in mind instead of knee jerk reactions of love,dislike or hate.

Another factor that helps remove volatile characters are the gamblers who are in it for a quick buck and have no interest in the puruty of the format at all.....

She did deserve to go. If you forgot, she put the least amount effort into her task and all she did was whine and complain about it to Big Brother. It doesn't matter if Mario is a 40 year old man. Its not like she had to sleep with him. When you go into Big Brother you have to be prepared for anything and obviously, Steph wasn't prepared.

I'm over thinking of the bitches are the ONLY ones that can hold the show up. The bitches seem to be replacing eachother this year and they all act basically identical so no worries there!

For the first time I'm ok with losing the strong characters because it gives the weak characters a chance to step up, as they have. Jen and Bex were invisible when Alex was around...can't wait to see who would step up if Jen and Bex were gone, because I can't imagine it. We could actually end up getting to know a whole cast this way.

Arneldo

People have different opinions on what is entertaining. And as much as I agree, we have to keep the entertaining people in - I'd rather watch fun entertaining people then bitchy, two-faced ones.

With Steph, she has nothing to offer. She was in the house for the wrong reasons, and was predictable. Lisa maybe dull, but she gave 100% in the task and deserved to stay.

With Sylvia, she was just an attention seeker. She was fun for five minutes but she became very boring. Mohamed may have been quite but the housemates didnt like him and it annoyed them that he was still there.

Now with Jen, its the same story. I like her and Rex, but I think the housemates will be more surprised and annoyed that Rex stayed over Jen and it will make good viewing.

This is what the Jen supporters can't grasp. No-one even heard a peep from Jen while Alex was there and Alex's few fans were going on and on about her leaving would ruin the show. What aload of tosh. Sylvia was 100 times more entertaining than Alex. Unfortunately she went because she was smoking hot.

Get Jen out. Then Bex will take over. Get Bex out and Luke will take over. Get Luke out and someone else will take over....and so on and so on. The perfect housemates have been picked this year.

Good riddance to Jennifreak.

And I'm fed up of people automatically assuming that 'the most entertaining housemates' are the ones which cause the most conflict- i have learnt that that is not the case! Alex made things boring by causing repetitive arguments which frankly were not entertaining! Jennifer going will not make the house boring- i actually think things will become more interesting.

did you miss my point, about jen and bex formerly being invisible/weak when alexandra was still in the house? Remember Bex not even being able to respond to Alex during Chipgate?

These are dynamic personalities and relationships, and they make for interesting viewing. So we dont have one solid villain to hate for a whole summer, not a huge problem for me. Their boots have all been very satisfying, and whether you want to believe it or not, others have stepped up in their place.

I agree with Lauren!
For me, what makes the show entertaining is the way BB drives them crazy with tasks and punishments!
I don't like watching people being nasty! For that, I watch the news!
Steph and Sylvia were wannabes and Jennifer needs to know she is not her parents little princess anymore and needs to get real!
The show is about REAL people, and, for me, the only REAL people in the house are Darnell, Rex and Cat!
