Anyway I remember Aisleyne getting upset at BB for that test. Didn't understand why as it wasn't neccesarily a bad trait but an expected one really of many a BB housemate.

Anyway who would some of you consider from BB11 and earlier BBs to possess that particular trait of Machiavellianism, more than their fellow housemates.

Big brother set Aisleyne up with the Machiavellian test it was designed to make people suspicious of her and it worked, they also set mario up with his introduction into the house no one would trust him while in there because they believed he was still a mole all the way though the series and didnt want to appear stupid to the public by not getting it so dave and John James (who suffers from massive paranoia) in particular never trusted him because they wanted to save face and not look stupid i think ben was over thinking things too and a lot of his bitchy gossip was probably due to his thinking he was taken for a fool.

I think certainly in the last few series of BB, a good 50% (if not more) of the housemates showed Machiavellian traits. The nature of the game partly demands it in a lot of ways - by way of trying to avoid being nominated, I think in trying to avoid the nominations, behaviours will be adjusted (manipulated) to suit, I think it brings about a degree of Machiavellianism just by the very nature of the show.

:xyxwave: So funny ... so transparent ... so predictable ... almost gives one something to look forward to in life ... like the sun rising in the morning ... or the tide coming in ... renews ones faith in the utter reliability of the world ... stability and permanence can be wonderful things ... it is always good to know where one stands ...

Doncha just hate surprises ... ?

Freddie: crying little bitch who played the pity card to get this far but got screwed in its own game. Bullying? wtf? let's get real, he was a manipulative wanker.

Bea: Wow, that one was nasty, a true bad girl. I wish she stayed longer, she made the second half of the show along with Siavash and Marcus. Should have been top 5 for being so entertaining and for shutting the hell up of Freddie.

Makosi: She's drama, yo. The Queen of all bitches and game players. She's a goddess. Should have won series 6.

Noirin: Being a slut or what? Bitch got trapped and got her ass sent home.

Brian Belo: Still mad at him for stealing the twins' victory. I still can't believe he actually used the "I'm so dumb" card to win. Shame on you loser.

Rex: but in a good way. Should have won series 9 along with Rebecca and Sara.

What about Jen from BB9? - she was such a manipulative, attention seeking drama queen. And Nicole, the Queen Bitch.

Oh god Jen was a hateful cow wasn't she? I'd totally forgotten about her, but I loathed her at the time. Awful, self absorbed, childish spoiled daddy's princess. Her "tantrum" when Rex smudged her painting was one of the most pathetic things I ever saw on Big Brother. Total over reaction which led to the second fight night. And she even had the cheek to blame Mo for getting Dennis kicked out, even though it was Dennis who spat in Mo's face! Everything had to be about her, she was obviously used to be the centre of attention. A real "me, me, me" type.

Stupid bitch!
