So you don't like him. I get it. Don't vote for him then.
I don't like Steven. I think he is a total twat who loves himself & is clearly lying about how much money he has. So it's safe to say I don't want him to win.
Chris is the only housemate I feel is speaking what I'm thinking.
I don't think any less of him for saying it in the diary room and not to the other HM's.
This years group has been the nastiest bunch of people I have ever seen on this show. He is just being sensible by keeping his mouth shut.

So tell me then your reaction Nasty Nick making up that he had a wife who died in a car accident to make himself a more sympathetic character to this fellow housemates.

Does it not bother you what the actual truth is?

I like Chris. I find him interesting. Would be nice if he ends up winning.

Apart from in the diary room where he's all mouth before he goes back to being friendly with the "nastiest bunch of people" ever seen on this show.

I guarantee no woman would get away with it.

Nothing wrong with being polite.

I was only 5 in 2000 so I didn't watch/can't really comment. But no, the truth doesn't bother me whatsoever, because it's a game show and they are playing to win. These aren't my friends, I don't know them and I'll never see them once the show is over,

Why are you even bothering to defend Chris then?

So he's polite, but others are two faced...

Yep :dance:

Because I've watched Chris and don't think he's a bad person in the slightest

Unattractive, sofly spoken white man = Polite

Attractive woman = Two faced.

He's disingenuous.

Of course he is

Nope, Ash is just as two-faced as the rest of them.
If you hate Chris so much then don't watch him.

I like Chris. He doesn't let every half-baked thought that pops into his head, spill out of his mouth with no filter of tact. I suppose that might make some people think he isn't completely open. There are plenty of people in there who think that 'being upfront' means voicing every single thought, no matter how hurtful or ridiculous it is. Chris, for me, is the one relatively normal person in there.

I think he is one of the more genuine people in the house actually. Just a bit of a bore and immature.

I don't hate him that much. I just think people should be more wary of him, before they vote for the smugster to win.

Yes, he saves it for his latest diary room performance where he and the viewers watching him get to feel morally superior to everyone else.

[QUOTE=Yaki da;7071979]I think he is one of the more genuine people in the house actually. Just a bit of a bore and immature.



Yeah, calling another housemate a maggot & taking the piss out of their weight.........................What a genuine guy (!).

He's entitled to do that. BB asks him questions, he answers. I doubt he imagines that everything is says is broadcast. Other housemates do the same. You can't possibly know he feels morally superior unless you have access to this thoughts, that's just your own perception based on the fact that you don't like him.

:clap2:

:clap1:
Chris is a quiet guy who would not be heard by the others even if he did choose to speak up.
Seeing him in the Diary room is the best we can get of him.
I enjoy listening to his observations.

They sound pre-prepared to me. And he can answer those questions however he likes. He doesn't have to put on the show he does.


He slagged them all off for being fake whilst in the diary room before going back and getting along with all of them himself.

I think we are all mature enough to make our minds up on who we like, I like him,be happy for him to win

You know that the diary room is there for people to unload, right? Or would you rather they all dicuss what they had for breakfast instead?

Yes, it's there to put on a show for the viewers. It's there to manipulate people's thoughts and get them on side. It's there to assassinate people's character to the public without them having a chance to defend themself. Something Chris does very well.

One question is why are people who do the more natural thing of going off with a friend and having a bitch regarded as nasty and two faced, whilst someone who choose to go to the diary room and bitch about others to the viewing audience regarded so highly. There's a phoniness about it all.

In response to your first comment, sounding pre-prepared to you means nothing. Again, it's just your perception because you don't like him, coupled with the fact he's intelligent and eloquent, which would make him stand out in there.

Secondly, they are mostly fake. Would you have preferred him to lie? And then he went back into the house and got on with it, tactfully, without creating yet another boring, shallow bitchfest. I would see where you were coming from if every single other housemate had not, at one time or another, bitched about other people in the diary room and behind their backs. But they ALL do it.

He seems to do this a lot more than the others though and I think viewers should be wary of him. My suspicion of him really goes back to the speech he gave when up for the chop with the lads, in front of the girls. I thought there was something very strange about a man pouring his heart out like that in that situation.

So in other words, he's doing what the diary room requires him to do...

Most viewers are intelligent enough to make up their minds. What you mean is, viewers should agree with you.

He's different from the other "lads" in that, he isn't a "lad". He may have been genuinely pouring his heart out, he may have been acting. In any case, it saved him. It's a game.

The diary room doesn't require anything of anyone. Hence no one being anywhere near as bad (or good depending on POV) as him.

Ah okay. So any level of manipulation or insincerity is always to be defended with this line.

I like Chris. He does what I would do in that house pretty much, spill the truth tea in the diary room and keep relatively to myself in the house.

I hate it when people come out with the "I say it to their face", it's pretty much just them saying "I shout and blurt out like a chav". Why should Chris say what he says in the diary room to peoples' faces? They will just seclude him and be even more horrible than they already are. It's not bitchy, not insincere, not rude, it's just common sense and Chris is doing just that.

You think the rest of them are sincere? Are you kidding me? They are all playing a game and they're all desperate to win. Otherwise, what's the point of taking part? What about Winston's performance in the same task you mentioned? Your opinion of Chris is based solely on the fact that you don't like him, so it's blinding you to the faults of the others.

Exactly, we were promised ruthless characters yet people seem to cry at the very thought

Totally agree, Jamesy.

Well said Liv! :thumbs:

That's pretty much all this thread is and it's getting really stale now! He's done another one hating on Danielle.:sleep:

Chris wasn't 'wrong' about Danielle, what he said was he judged her as the Danielle he knew in the house which is a great way of looking at things instead of being ate up with curiosity about the outside world and what if's when there is nothing any of them can do/find out about it whilst in the house anyway.

Of all the people to accuse of being insincere I would never think of Chris to be one of them.

Hmmm some could think you are trying for a character assassination on him because he is competition for other housemates. :smug:

Chris is old school BB IMO, a breath of fresh air between the fame hungry, nasty, miserable wannabes, that's why people like him.

I don't remember Danielle making up a dead person:smug:

Well said Josy:dance:

Couldn't agree more, love little Chris, intelligent, gentle, kind, and very funny. Check out some of his videos on youtube e.g http://goo.gl/oM41MI
