Going on BB is, potentially, a reputation destroyer anyway!

This is about Harry and how he feels about the situation, it has nothing to do with Jedward. People are different in how the feel and act.

Jedward don't have a problem acting and behaving like naughty school children, it doesn't mean every other 19 year old should follow.

Or do you think everyone should follow everyone else?

What rich kid actually starts something on their own seriously, its either daddy's money or daddy's company with you there for effect.

My point is, if you go on BB you are likely to be asked to do ludicrous things and the situation can lead you into revealing plenty of career-destroying aspects of your personality.

Posing for a gay mag seems tame in comparison... in terms of "reputation".

Absolutely.

But wasn't he cool in just saying NO, No histrionics, a man sure of his own mind.

Impressive.

(PS what happened to his nose?)

I find rich people to be the tightest people of the lot, and find that people with less are often the most generaous. I have two friends who come from money who've started without any backing or financial help from their parents at all.

Even if rich kids do go into the family business, they're employing people... so is that not honourable?

I've been asking the same question, but no one seems to know.

Of course you are likely to be asked to do ludicrous things, that doesn't mean you have to say yes all the time, does it ?

He may have been more than happy to have his head shaved, but it wasn't for Tom and that's why he said no.

A lot of what goes on in that house is mind games and BB knows only too well how to get a rise out of most of the housemates.

For what it's worth I would have happily said yes to every question however I would draw the line at the gay magazine, but that's just me.

Harry has shown he is game for most things by sticking with that chicken task right though, how long was it before the first housemate gave up and said sack this ?

I had wondered if it had anything to do with eating that popcorn, did he knock his nose during that task.

They feel as though they can take the risk and start up without backing because they know if the world falls from underneath them there's a safety net of wealth.

Its almost like background wealth can give you the courage to take risks that you wouldn't otherwise have done, whereas a normal person would have to seriously think twice before going it alone.

It can be honorable but most of the time its just a free lunch and they often get put in very high positions right away such as vice chairman which frankly they don't deserve.

Rawrbear 22-09-2011 02:54 PM

I would not of done it..for all he know he may have to pose naked with a few other men

We're obviously coming at this from two angles, because I don't recognise much in what you say. Probably we're both right and both wrong in equal measures.

Harry wasn't being asked to pose unclothed was he? Just posing with a couple of guys in their pants!

Anyway, saying he wanted to be a gay icon - and then backtracking when BB called his bluff - has probably not done his credibility any good, anyway.

True he wasn't asked to pose naked, but it might have crossed his mind. (I doubt that it did though)


As for what the housemates say in their VT do any of them really live up to that 3 minute character introduction ?

There is still a massive difference between not minding to appeal to the gay community as opposed to being an a photo shoot to be included in a gay mag.

Nothing was outlined as to what form this photo shoot was to take, Harry may well have thought it would be a nude set of pics.
I have many gay friends,male and female, I would never though take part in any photo shoots that were going to be made avialable to a gay mag, or any other mag for that matter.

HBB1508 22-09-2011 04:01 PM

I don't think Harry knew what the photoshoot entailed - if my memory serves me right it was just announced as a photoshoot for a gay magazine - that probably conjured up a lot of things in Harry's mind and that's why he said no.

I think they said underwear shoot. I honestly don't think he would have agreed to do an underwear shoot for any type of magazine.
