Sadly I agree with most of that. I would not call him creepy however.

he doesn't have an "A" of asperger's, he's nowhere near asperger's, what a hell are you on about? You can't defend everyone with health issues, some people are just nasty. He's kinda a$$hole.

Sometimes I don't find him too bad, but it seems that he can't deal with being nominated which is in bad taste because it didn't go his way. Again when he heard his public reaction, I'm sure he was expecting to get cheers which is why he sat there sulking. I don't get any enjoyment out of watching that kind of behaviour, it's boring and shows a sense of self-righteousness.

I disliked him and Danny the most, right from the start, and I can see that no one seems to have same reasons as I do. I was quite annoyed that he seemed to be so popular with public as he was entering the house, cause he gave me a vibe of someone I wouldn't wanna have to sit next to on a bus, let alone watch him for the duration of BB.

In his VT he kept on about sticking for his friends, and against girls, as "bros over hoes" or some such, how as soon as someone gets a girlfriend it turns into disaster - and frankly, with history of over 2000 years of undisputed rule of abrahamic religions, someone blaming another disaster on some poor lass is bit overdone.

He didn't do himself any favors once in the house either, when in obvious set up he was given three immunities, and then out of four nominated housmates, he chose to save Christian - the blankiest blank of them all, basically leaving three ladies to fight amongst them selves. He even said he had least of a connection with Christian, and claimed that losing Sarah would be devastating for the house, but I guess Christian just had right set of gonads and was thus saved.

He was also always the second one (first one being Danny) to start gossiping about how wrong and terrible other housemates are - I hate gossiping so, yeah...

He also never stopped bytching about Nick spending too much time with Jade, and then with Harry, (as if it's normal to judge a guy you only know for 7 days as your friend who has changed because of a girl!?!) he never was able to accept what either of the three of them has said either about nature of their relationship or about themselves, he was annoyed by Jade claiming to be polyamorous, and insisted to call her "bedhopper", he kept complaining about Harry being naked - what? How in a world does that change his prospects? It's in no way, shape or form his concern. He kept acting confused and almost insulted about Harry saying she has a wife, even tho she explained exactly what she meant by that, and again, it had nothing to do with him.

So pretty much, he never did anything I'd find endearing but he did quite a few things that have annoyed me beyond belief.

Most of these Danny also exhibited but he felt more free to be a jacka$$ cause his good looks tend to obscure large portion of it. Danny was quite obnoxious with Sarah, and openly,her only fault was that she actually liked him, yet when they were both up for eviction, she got booted out, and he stayed in witch is both ludicrous and among top 5 reasons "why aliens won't talk to us"

He's never bothered me that much. I guessed even from launch night he was going to be a bit shouty and stroppy at times because he kept talking over everybody saying he was taking the green podium but I wouldn't hate him just solely for being a bit of a grump.

Times he has annoyed me is when he was over the top angry with Simon, and how he behaved in that whole situation with them watching secret footage and telling Chloe what they saw. It clearly showed Jack being angry and shouting at the screen at what Marc said on screen about Chloe but then just because everybody else decided to just focus on Simon he went along with that and was like "oh Marc didn't really say anything bad about you, he said things in a nice way" and focused all his rage on Simon. The same when Simon nominated Eileen, he was standing up shouting going bonkers at him even though he himself also nominated Eileen for a second week after saying before that he regretted it and and wouldn't. Just came across a bit hypocritical and also a bit of a sheep who let his anger out on an easier target like Simon.

Also last night on BOTS I saw a clip of him
Spoiler:

shouting a lot at Harry for reading their hotel guest book thing because BB said they were not allowed, he either tried to grab it roughly from her hands or else actually closed the book thing on her hands and I just found it a bit much.


His reactions to being nominated also aren't great...

Actually the more I'm remembering these things the easier I can see why people might dislike him..:think:

But anyways, generally he doesn't bother me that much and I wouldn't say I hated him, just a few things really that annoyed me a bit in the earlier weeks mostly. I don't find the fact that he thought he was really popular or the fact he really wants to win a problem at all.

I really like Jack, he is just an ordinary, likeable lad, I agree with some of the other posts, he makes me smile, especially when he is in the diary room and he is so happy just to be in the house. Some posts on here are just plain nasty name calling because of his weight:(

ozzyshaggah 30-06-2015 02:14 PM

someones gotta go
may as well be him as anybody else

The poor kid can't win either way and I am honestly convinced deep down it's because he's fat. The fact of the matter is he's a much better housemate than what he could have ended up being and for that he needs to be applauded :clap1:

Your theory about it being his weight doesn't really hold much water.

Josie was overweight and won. Alison Hammond was quite well liked as a housemate and she was huge and she has made a decent career on the back of BB.

Ramsay 30-06-2015 02:22 PM

Some of his huffs can be funny but more times than not they're just utterly annoying and i just want to slap his head for being such a moaner

........in my opinion dislike for jack is created by observers identifying in jack

characteristics that they don't like about themselves.................

Couldn't you just apply that incredibly tedious platitude to the dislike of any housemate?

To be quite honest, I'd love for a series where insults towards other forum members on the basis of their opinions isn't the norm. I won't hold my breath, though.



There are definitely some people who bring his weight into it, but that's certainly not the sole reason for the dislike of him. I can say that with absolute certainty because he's my least favourite and his weight has nothing to do with that.

I dislike him because his tendency to be miserable and moody pisses me off, as does his, frankly, nasty attitude that rears it's head when people dare to nominate him. Then there's his role in the unbearably smug Not-So Fantastic Four (and yes, the other members of that little gang annoy me too).

I just think he's a crap housemate and I get zero enjoyment out of him, and it's a fairly weak response to fall back on the "Oh, it's only because he's overweight" thing. No, it's not. You clearly think he's a good housemate, but that's just your opinion (as opposed to the "fact" you presented it as). Some others quite obviously feel differently and are entitled to do so without being branded "pathetic" or the suggestion that they're prejudiced against his weight.

If you don't ever call him fat then that comment obviously isn't aimed at you.

Most of the nasty comments are about his weight though.

Jack is not hated. If he was, he would have gone last week when up against Simon in the bottom two. Some might dislike him as an HM. But not enough to vote him out.

Gusto Brunt 01-07-2015 08:09 AM

He was great in the Hotel task.

Just shows he's not just a grubby dressing gown. He looks smart dressed up and carries himself well.

He has good inter-personal skills, even when John and Charley gave him a bad time.

No wonder he is a manager in real life. :)
