I got angry the other day with the dopey counter woman who works in my bank but I didnt threaten to shove something up her pussy or smash her face in. Conor is a bit more than someone with a short temper

imho,you have nothing to apologize for,
:xyxwave::xyxwave:

He never said that to Deanas face though, if he had actually said what he did face to face then my opinion would probably have been different but he never so I stand by my opinion that I previously posted.

I did see BOTS last night and nothing I saw made me feel any differently about him, it's hard to change your conceptions of someone when they make you feel very uncomfortable just to watch them, however I acknowledge you have put forward valid reasons for liking him, as has Josy ^, it's the first time someone has offered a concrete reason (that I have seen) so fair play. I'll concede that my opinion of him is based on what light BB have shown him in, as I said in another thread about Shievonne, they can only show what really happens BUT... to be logical and fair, they also can choose to show all the bad side of a particular housemate and very little good, so maybe my opinion of him would have been a bit better, I don't know. But it was the epilator rant that did it, and I think that's what all the people that dislike him so strongly what say is the main reason as well. If that isolated incident hadn't happened I'd probably just feel Meh about him.

Well said.

The fact he didnt say it to her face doesnt make it better IMO. In fact, the way he said absolutely NOTHING to her makes it worse. Surely if he's keeping it real then he'd have had it out with her.

What has he done for you to like him?

"Been himself" ... is being an arsehole ok as long as its really you? Really? Plus I swear the other day he admitted hes gone really bitchy and thats not him, so theres a dilemma for you. Is he bitchy or is he not being himself?

Hes done nothing but act an aragant arsehole - whines and threatens to leave when things dont go his way (and knowing enough about MTVN and Josy, you normally hate stuff like this and would normally tell them to f off then), and he has singled out and been very verbally aggressive directly (DR with Arron) and indirectly (epilator rant) constantly towards Deana. And yes its either bordered or been bullying, which either way, is not somebody anyone should support.

Hes had a limited amount of funny moments, such as jumping out the hot bath, but far from enough for people to want to support him.

In all honestly, I get the impression his fans just like to come across a bit controversial by supporting a cock :shrug:

/rantfortheday

I watched BOTS too,and I don't have any kind of respect for benedict so his opinions don't interest me.
He should not have been given a place in the house if his fuse is so short, it is not conducive to a positive environment.
Misguided loyalty is not a commendable quality in my book, there are many characters that have played an equally large role in the house without the aggression.

He says absolutely NOTHING to anybody's face. Hes an out and out utter coward.

:love:

Not a fan but I dont think hes quite as bad as hes being made out to be. And from reading FB comments, the majority say they like him because they hate deana...which makes no sense whatsoever to me (or that they are from his hometown...theres LOADS on there from Derry it seems :laugh: ) but a few say just coz hes one of the lads etc etc, or are former Arron fans who switched to conor.

I just watched Arrons eviction last night, and I found it quite funny how brian asked his girlfriend if he was being himself, and she said yeah...then he said 'so what we are seeing is the real conor?!' and she backtracked immediately :joker:

One more thing I will say is that we are watching Big Brother, it's late night trashy reality TV, I don't expect high moral standards from the people on there and I don't expect to necessarily really like someone as a person to be a fan of them. I said he was being a dick with his epilator rant, nobody really sought to justify that and I don't deny that he has the potential to be a bit of a *****, but I'd also say that from what I've seen he's shown he can also just have a laugh and be quite a nice guy, there's been a couple of times when he's sat and cheered up Ashleigh and stuff, and he's always joined in and gotten involved with things. So what if he doesn't say things to Deana's face, they all bitch about each other in there, at least he keeps out her way and doesn't seek out big arguments with her. It's quite ironic that she goes on telling Conor to "say it to my face" and then sits there bitching about Lauren as well. Tbh I was away last week and haven't seen all the episodes from then so can't really comment on him wanting to leave.

But at the end of the day the point of this show is that the housemates and incidents are always gonna divide opinion, I don't see why people should be surprised that someone likes, or has a different view on a housemate to the one they hold. It'd be a pretty boring program and even more boring forum if we were never gonna disagree on anything

Edit - also it isn't even really like Conor's my favourite or anything, I pretty much lost my 3 favourites all in a row, I'd just say he's one of the best out of a pretty bad bunch of housemates left in there

To be honest on this occasion itd be great if everybody came together and thought yeah, what a dickhead lets get him out.

It seems so immature to like Coner because he hates Deana.
I think Coner sealed his own death warrant with that vicious out of control temper of his,it wasn't just someone being angry,it was someone who was portraying violence,in the worst way,at that moment,he lost any chance he may have had to win BB.imho.

You think he's an arsehole, I don't :shrug:

Arron was worse than Conor was in DR IMO, and I have said over and over that I think the epilator incident was out of order but him now being referred to as a nasty vile thug, rapist, racist is just over reaction, the producers obviously agree since he's still there.

I couldnt give a **** if he's turned bitchy either, most of them in there are 2faced bitches so it makes no difference

I think some of the housemates people support are nasty, sly etc but I won't go around the forum telling them they have no right to support a certain housemate or ranting at them for having a different opinion as its not my place to do that and different opinions is the reason the forum is here in the first place.

Also I can't speak for all his fans but I have always liked Conor so no it's nothing to do with being controversial.

I like him as well! He makes me laugh! Not always on purpose, but still! :tongue:

Wales.

Italy! :dance::elephant:

Without him who would be the main character in there? the show would have been the ultimate borefest and people know it. Deana and co couldnt carry the show...well they could but it would be another Rachel Rice snoozefest. He's been funny a lot of the time and yeah he's lost the head a few weeks ago.......and yet here you are still bringing it up......

Firstly I commend what you have said in this thread and agree 100% esp about how scary it is he hates someone so much without talking to them.

I do wonder a few things however:
1. Has any man on here ever imagined sexually assaulting a woman out of anger?
2. Has any man on here talked about doing such to his friends?
3. Has any man on here said it in front of the person they were talking about/directly to them?

I personally have not done any of the above. I HAVE however imagined hitting a woman in anger but have never done so. I have mentioned this desire to other people but only to work through the feelings. involved.

What is a 'conor fan' ?

It wouldn't.... there are many other interesting HM's, I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times I found him slightly amusing.
His outburst still has relevance as he has shown little or no remorse for it and continues to influence other HM's against the same two.

Agreed! Conor is a great housemate. That's why i'm supporting him. :cheer:

Conor needs to grow up and develop a personality, and learn how to care for other people instead of just for himself. Currently he's just a cretin, I don't know how anyone could support him but there's nowt as queer as folk :pipe:
