Okay, so someone coming in and exposing the original Big Brother villain for what he is would have been wrong.

And how come Helen should be forgotten about, but this Nasty Nick guy should be considered?
Helen is not being forgotten about. She is just irrelevant to what was going on with Danielle.

They can come in as characters or themselves or whoever and that's all they should be judged on by the people in the house. Outside info should only be revealed at their discretion. It's supposed to be about a bunch of people in a house with no contact with the outside world, so yes, their outside lives are irrelevant unless they want them to be otherwise.
Their outside lives are essential to understanding whether or not they are honest people in the house. It has always been that way. Nasty Nick started Big Brother off with all the controversy surrounding him and the lies he was telling such as having a wife that died in a car accident to make himself a more sympathetic figure. He was a manipulative person who the public turned against, but he was hugely popular in the house with the others.

Danielle was as much of a liar as he was. She was a total sham and continued to be one in the face of being exposed as such.

Helen is just a nasty piece of work. But not a sham.

One thing he's spot on about a lot of them very nasty they are and only pretend to like each other because they dont want to be put up for Eviction .

And then he goes back to them and pretends to be their friend himself...

It's a good thing that there's still enough decent people that can see Chris for the kind-hearted, decent and intelligent man he is and will support him 'til the end and hopefully help him win.:thumbs:
Saying he's "weak" because he's not a super-confident, abrasive, in your face person is a joke.:bored: Different people have different personalities and handle situations accordingly and thank god for that or we'd all be confrontational gobsh*tes like Helen!

Who does he pretend to be friends with ? Other than Ashleigh and Christopher whom I doubt he was referring to when he said there are nasty individual's in the house .

Yes, and his way of handling situations is to go to the diary room and assassinate people's characters. It's not about being "in your face" like Helen. I don't agree with that either. I just want to know why Chris is not being held to account for what seems to me to be rather duplicitous behaviour.

What was it Bianca said he had said about Helen... "I was worried you were taking Helen away from me again"

Why didn't he stand up for what he thought was right with Danielle? He could have done it in the calm and measured way he does other things, but instead we just see him in the diary room ranting behind people's backs

delta 19-07-2014 09:38 AM

He's a normal person and stating the obvious, yes there is a lot of fakery going on, come on just like Danielle, he went in there so new what he was about to face and the type of wannabee personality that he would come up against.


Yeah, he's playing a game, but he's not the biggest game player I will leave that for the little sh!t bag Mark. How the hell he is sneaking under the radar is beyond me. He is one that would certainly blow if the heat was turned up on him.


Edited to say:


How fcuking cringeworthy was that 'Blue Moon' song to camera in the garden??? Has to be the most blatant, cringe of the series.

Absolutely Chris has Ashleigh and Christopher to talk who will support each other unlike Helen and her cronies who throw weak links under the bus when there no longer useful Marlon can a test to this .

JTM45 19-07-2014 09:42 AM

Chris has actually explained in some detail why he does some of the things he does in the way he does them and it all makes sense.
The majority of the things he says in the DR are spot-on! He's the best judge of personality and character in there by a long way.

I just feel that it's not really that important. If they lie, the public will see it and they're the ones ultimately making the final decision. Helen is relevant because her whole prostitute/Wayne Rooney past is being kept hush and yet Danielle is exposed at every chance. I know there are probably legal reasons for the former, but there's no need to expose any of their personal lives. I understand wanting justice for the people in the house to know who they're dealing with, but it's just outside manipulation that I don't think is necessary. And they're not really lies that are that hurtful (this Nick guy sounds like a bit of a dick though). I don't like Danielle for lying, I don't like Kim for lying and I don't like Helen for lying but it's their prerogative to do so and keep whatever they want to themselves and in the long run it's only hurting their characters.

smudgie 19-07-2014 09:51 AM

He is playing the game very well.

He has every one of them sussed, he probably does deserve to win as his game does not involve nastiness etc, and he is great at analysing everything and putting his points across in the DR with a great wit.

Not so sure we are actually seeing who the real Chris is though, he is a pretty good actor but his mask slipped ever so slightly when they were shown the vid of the newbies and told they were coming in.

Yeah, I can see him as a worthy winner.

Yes, we know that. But Chris used what happened with Danielle as a way of promoting himself. And it worked.

Quote:

It's irrelevant to any judgement about Danielle's character. Is it unfair? Maybe. But this is about Chris and his attitude towards Danielle being revealed as the fraud she was. He was disinterested. He saw an opportunity to go and give another winning diary room performance, which worked out well for him as people are now cheering him on. But put it under scrutiny and it begins to not look so good.


Quote:

2 times it happened with Danielle. Once in a task by BB and then Bianca telling others. Steven's mum exposed Kim. Ashleigh has had conversations and diary room entries played back.

Portraying yourself as something you're not to people who have put their trust in you is a hurtful thing to do.

Is Helen lying? To me, she's just a cow. Kim has definitely lied and we rightly judge her badly for it. Danielle, the same.

It's as though people have no objective standard of right and wrong and just base their opinions on what this person does for them.

Not everybody is at the level where they can only find entertainment in slags who wave their tits about or miserable little tramps who sit in corners bitching.

Chris is one of the most entertaining and witty people in the house.

What a great and accurate post:clap1:

You have seemingly ignored points by other poster throughout this thread that dont fit you're agenda .

starry 19-07-2014 10:07 AM

I suppose he might have some contradictions but that's hardly unusual. I prefer him as he has a brain unlike someone vacuous and empty like Winston.

joeysteele 19-07-2014 10:33 AM

I have come to like Chris,he seems the only one in there more level headed and his summing up of Biannca was spot on too.

Tarryn 19-07-2014 11:21 AM

I would rather watch Chris talking about the other housemates in the Diary Room than watching Biannca getting naked or Steven slobbering over Kim.
If he were to tell the housemates to their faces what he really thinks of them he would be jumped on like a pack of wolves.
He was totally right last night. They are two-faced.
Chris is just playing an intelligent game.
Mark is playing the "Look how stupid I am, I don't have the brains to play the game so love me for being real" game.
Steven is playing the "I'm so rich I should win BB as I don't need the money & am better than you" game.
It is a game show. Chris is playing it well but that does not mean he is fake.

Razor 19-07-2014 11:21 AM

Chris is my fav. Awesome housemate it's just a shame we don't see much of him.

Yeah, that's great. But it doesn't speak to any point being made about him using the diary room to manipulate the public.

So they're two faced but he's playing an intelligent game. Righteo.

I'm afraid it does. Worse than that... He's being two faced with the other housemates and he's being manipulative with the public.

rubymoo 19-07-2014 11:26 AM

I really like Chris.

I think everything he's said about the others is spot on, and i like the way he tries to comfort others when they're upset, i loved what he said about Danielle in the diary room too.

He comes across as a great guy, a worthy winner imo:)

Why do you think he is manipulating people ?.
He is speaking the truth about the other HM's isn't he ?.

Looks more like attempts to assassinate other peoples character without them having a chance to reply and it's being done during a performance in the diary room designed to endear himself to the public.

There's something two faced and disingenuous about it.

What he said about Danielle was BS... He essentially said "I don't care what the actual truth is. I am only interested in how Danielle presents herself to me"

It's like someone saying "I don't care if Nasty Nick made up that his wife died in a car accident, he's seem like a decent honest chap to me"

And the others are total Angels who have never been two-faced or tried to turn HM's against each other have they (?)

Daffodil 19-07-2014 11:38 AM

Chris makes some good, intelligent, observant points in the diary room. But I am very wary of his tendency to 'snobbishness', his VT in which he dismissed all his future housemates saying he would sit in a corner and call them bastards. His hugs at times seemed very forced. His art work is brilliant (was on BBOTS the other night) BUT very gruesome, sad and surreal. Not the sort of stuff to make you feel uplifted anyway :(

Ellen 19-07-2014 11:41 AM

He seems like an ok-ish bloke but i do find him hypocritical saying the others were two faced when he is just as bad.
For the last few weeks he has sat with Danielle & Ashley bitching about other HM's but then critises others for bitching but denies he does this when it has been shown.
He seems to pride himself on how he as sussed out the HM's but the one who he spoke so highly of in the diary room nominated him so maybe not such a good judge.

Of course I'm not. If you want to a start thread discussing the faults of others, then by all means do so and I'll probably agree with a lot of what is being said.

But this constant deflection away from the topic under discussion is just that. It's not a question of whether Chris is better or worse than anyone else, just a question about his character.

That's exactly how it should be. It's an entertainment show, not 'Who Do You Think You Are'. Judging them as housemates and as they are on the outside are two completely different things. Helen shouldn't be judged for being an ex-hooker for example

I think he is a genuine & nice guy who does not like confrontation so vents his feelings in the "Safer" environment of the Diary Room. That's what it is there for.

Jake. 19-07-2014 11:48 AM

Chris is an actor, and for all we know, he could be the biggest twat outside... But it doesn't matter, because they shouldn't be judged as outside people (I know Chris is probably a really nice bloke but you get my point)

It's also there to put on a performance in front of a camera, knowing full well that you are essentially communicating with the public.

It's "safe" alright. It's safe from other people being able to defend themselves against his catty comments or assassinations of their characters.

What you call "safe" could be perceived as, at best, weak and at worst, something quite manipulative.

Again, they should be judged for who they are, based on all the info we have. Simple as that.
