Me either

He's a silly boy who has latched on to a certain ideology as a mindset that he seems to extend even to us and them supermarkets, it was this conversation which I felt was the most telling about Joel.

:clap1::clap1::clap1:

yes yes yes

I'm so glad someone else notices that 'dead' look in his eyes. God, there is something deeply odd about it. I really don't like him at all.

Two other things I don't like about him are:

1. He takes a sneering delight when others are in trouble with the authority of BB. You watch his face.

2. He is horribly self-righteous and is the first one to gang up on someone when the crowd are against them. Think of how he stands over Simon for example, chopping his hand and acting like the big man.

His whole 'main thing' is basically trying to act like a politician on newsnight. The way he talks and argues with those very.. controlled.. pauses and the 'chopping down' hand movements = GRRRRR. It's EXACTLY how most politicans speak and act on debates shows, and is exactly why most people don't trust most politicians - it's all too contrived and unnatural that way of talking.

It's like he has watched and studied others for hours on end and then copied it.

It's not the real Joel.

Who is the real Joel?

IMO - it's the guy parading around in Eileen's gold clothes, the same guy who had camp banter and baths with Aaron for weeks on end.

Some might say he was a repressed homosexual in denial which would cause a lot of his self-righteous anger and control issues. I know someone like that who came out recently and is a much kinder and more relaxed person since coming out as gay.

Looking forward to have all the other housemates' political persuasion highlighted in a thread. That's if any of them can be arsed to vote, of course.
