253rd. Harriet Jackson (BB16)

I am appalled that people like Harriet.
Well, sort of. It seems to mostly be people who are nostalgic for a pre-#4in4out world, which I can understand. It’s a welcome contrast to the ‘EVERYTHING WAS WELL BORING BEFORE MARC’ school of thought, and Harriet’s an example of that. She wasn’t boring. Heck, if she was boring I might like her more. But it turns out that she just sort of sucked?
And she wasn’t setting herself up for a particularly strong start either. When you pull out the UKIP card about thirty seconds into your VT, don’t expect the crowd to automatically love you eith-no wait they did exactly that oops. That’s when I knew that BB16 might not be all it was cracked up to be (not that it was ever cracked up at all) – the likes of Harriet and Joel were cheered to the rafters. And since Joel ended up in second, god only knows where Harriet could have wound up had it not been for #4in4out. Yes, I’m going to keep insisting on hashtagging that.
So why didn’t I like Harriet? Well, she loved an argument to levels more than any of us could deal with (case in point: her argument with Danny that I believe went along the lines of “shut up!!!” “shut up don’t tell me to shut up!!!!” “well you can shut up and all!” “you shut up!!!” (her offence at being told to shut up was made slightly less valid considering she’d requested Joel to do the exact same thing mere moments earlier)), she’d burst into tears at the opening of an envelope which was funny in an Aisleyne-way at first but was soon not funny in a everyone-else-that-isn’t-Aisleyne way, I don’t recall her smiling once, and her main role in the house was to be the messenger between groups who for some reason decided it’d be wise to feed both sides of the house any information from the other side that she could get, which as far as tactics go is kind of a terrible idea?
And then she was evicted lol. My main gripe about her eviction was that she didn’t get the boos she deserved/was about to get because she was sharing it with
Kieran of all people (also fewer people paid money to evict her than they did Amy & Sally, how do people like that even exist on this planet), but at least we got a good quote and an even better housemate (“oh yay you’re back!! :):)” and Harry Amelia respectively) out of the experience. Oh and she was kind of bitter about it on BOTS but less so than Sarah and we’ll save that for when Sarah is eliminated. Hopefully that’s sooner rather than later.
Oh and I'm saving
Laura. Tee hee.
