They all are - that's the whole point of the show.

And your point is? The fact is that when someone is genuinely upset, they wouldn't even be aware of the cameras at all. Jodie, however, positioned herself so that the cameras were directly on her. It was fake and calculated, and she was found out.

He's in the house because he's getting paid £150,000, just like the rest of the hm's. And to support his chosen charity, sell his back catalogue, and promote future releases and performances. They're all in there for self-promotion of one sort or another.

So when Pete is looking into the camera?? I guess he's just being Pete to you.

I think if a camera was in front of me, i'd be aware of it, and you and your idols are just making too much of it.

They aren't all getting paid the same? I very much doubt he's in for charity, maybe the 'bring back hunting' campaign.

Of course they are all in for self promotion. Jodie so she's not so hated, Pete to get money for his surgery, Michael because he's bankrupt and needs public sympathy, George for politcal reasons etc.

I think Pete is great, he talks alot of the truth and people dont like that. He is one of the smartest men on the show and is great to watch. Ok he doesnt have the perfect face but who cares? He doesn't he is happy with himself and that is all that matters. If you look at him you will think he is odd but if you listen to him and his comments on life, people, media etc he is a very smart guy and I hope he does great when the shows over.

I think Pete is great he says what he thinks and he is great entertainment

Exactly! Everyone is saying how great Pete is for saying what he thinks then Jodie does and it's a crime! I do really like Pete like. When Jodie said she didn't approove of his fur coat him and George both had a go at Jodie then when Jodie would speak her mind, she would then get Pete and Barrymore on her back! Either way, she can't win with them and she will always be in the wrong with them. There all ganging up and bullying her and it's just not fair on her!

I disagree over the whole fur coat and Galloway getting involved thing. As far as I recall, Jodie had said that killing all animals is murder. It's always dangerous making such a generalised and sweeping statement about any issue cos nothing is ever that black or white. George made the point that certain cultures need to kill animals to survive, giving the example of the eskimo people IIRC. Jodie counters with some rubbish about how they don't have shops or something and so they're primitive. Now, such a statement is begging for trouble, especially with an experienced public speaker like Galloway in the house.

What disappointed me the most about Jodie in this little exchange (and I started watching CBB with an open mind about her) was how inarticulate she was about a subject she supposedly feels strongly about. She goes on about how she supports animal rights and PETA (sp) and all, and yet when a discussion arises about it she comes out with generalised and sweeping statements and then goes on to back that up by criticisng a whole culture cos they don't have shops and stuff. It's fine to say that killing all animals is murder but you need to be able to back it up when someone challenges your stance, especially someone like Galloway. She couldn't back it up and instead resorted to insults and then turning on the tears for a bit of sympathy. Pathetic :bored:

And I just realised that this was a thread about Pete and I've turned it into another jodie-bashing thread! Sorry guys :bigsmile:

About Pete, I think he's been good entertainment so far and not repulsive at all. But then I try to judge people by what they say and do and not by how they appear so the fact the he may not be the prettiest thing to look at doesn't really bother me that much.
