What you have to realise about the British (and Niamh), is that we have, built within our DNA, a history of public floggings and executions.

We get blood lust and lose our minds. We'd rather throw cabbages and tomatoes at a "baddie" for one night, than provide ourselves with 3 months of entertainment.

We let ourselves down continually when it comes to this attitude, and ruin the show year after year.

Yes how dare we like nice people. How very nice of us.

but yes the quiet, background character gameplan seems to be a hit
i know i'd do it if i went in and i'm sure many future housemates will think the same which is a shame

the public are basically sabotaging their own show, no wonder you guys lost all your world power and are now irrelevant

I agree. We should never have given the brown people their countries back.

What? This isn't an excuse, it happens all the time. Housemates that do relatively little won't get nominated, and if they do, they won't be evicted. Then when they get through to the final, they normally win because every decent HM has been evicted (See BB10 and BB11). For me personally, Sam's win was probably down to a mix of the vote between Gina and Dexter being split and the fact a lot of watchers found him attractive.

It's much harder to be disliked for doing nothing than to be disliked for doing something, you cannot deny that, surely?

Another ignorant yank trying to make Brits feel pathetic, concentrate on your own country's troubles before trying to point out ours.

to be fair, the same happens in BBUS and Survirvor were a bitter jury votes for the boring useless person because the other one beat them all through their superior knowledge and strategy (Russel Hantz in Survivor, or Dan in BB)

the United States has no problems

God no BBUS is pathetic. If people want to watch that trash they can.

yeah, ian beating dan was ridiculous

I rest my case.

i wouldn't have

Oh he would have won anyway. I very much doubt anyone is thinking about who they would most like to win the money when they vote. The voting public just love a bore, preferably one with a disability or who has had gender reassignment.

Eviction nights on BB are about "evicting the baddie". They are never about keeping the entertainment in (at least with VTE).

Like any housemates you want, it's no concern of mine. I haven't really had a favourite this year - I liked Charlie at the start for a few weeks, then lost a bit of interest, and I've been increasingly favoring Dexter over the last couple of weeks, but I haven't slagged off any other HM's off, and have been fairly ambivalent to all of them.

I'm just trying to provide Roy with a reason that we like our pound of flesh on eviction night.

the final straw with my disdain of BBUS

You'd be nice and funny though Karl without even meaning it :laugh:

the dirty north-west accent would win everyone over:joker:

karl would be like Eugene in BB6

The problem is that the British public is a sentimental moron. To win Big Brother you have to appeal to that sentimental moron.

ah here, i'm not that bad!

Absolutely :love:

Eugene was my favourite HM from BB6 :pipe:

The mistake people who use bb forums make is to think they are a representitive sample of big brother fans when we arent at all not even close.
We are extremist examples of fans who look far more into what happens in the house and what type of people are in there which is why forum polls are usually so wide of the mark when it comes to what the audience really think.
Somebody was working out last night that between the big brother forums we account for something like 0.02% of the audience.
We have no influence whatsoever.

no surprise there

Doing what Sam and Luke A done doesn't work if you don't have a story. You end up a bore out first in the final otherwise.
