In other circumstances, in a different series and with different housemates, I don't think Ricky would have come out top in a vote to save. And he certainly would not have a chance of winning.

However, I don't believe this vote is about Ricky at all.

This is not an Eastenders vote, but a protest vote, and the large majority of viewers sending a clear message to the likes of Bear and Lewis (and probably BB) that they've had enough of the fake, regurgitated 'performances' of those from what are ironically referred to as 'reality' shows, in which there is more acting than there is on Eastenders, but of a very poor quality.

It is a protest vote from genuine long term fans of CBB who don't want to see the show they love become just another version of GS, EOTB, TOWIE, etc. It is a protest vote for genuine, decent housemates with morals over the infantile, selfish, conceited and one-dimensional housemates whose bullying and degrading actions have suffocated other housemates and destroyed this series, making it the worse CBB we have ever had.

Yes, that just about sums it up for me.
The VTS has a lot to do with it, we can't vote to evict those we want to so choose an opposite character to save.
Bear would have been out on his arse by week two with VTE.

Shaun 22-08-2016 09:47 AM

He's a queen of something alright [/needless homophobia]

Ammi 22-08-2016 09:48 AM

...jeeez, that was just a phase, let's not stay with the Helen years and Liam-....ONE TIME..!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............

Liam- 22-08-2016 09:49 AM

Helen was my exception to that rule, we all have a past!

Shaun 22-08-2016 09:50 AM

He called her the greatest c5 hm the other day he clearly is relapsing.

Liam- 22-08-2016 09:51 AM

I do love me some WooWoo tbf and I'm not all that big of a Ricky fan, I just naturally prefer him to the likes of Bear.

He actually makes housemates like Maysoon look interesting.

Is it just eastenders fans voting or what? I honestly forget he is in the house most of the time.

Three things in his corner.

1. Eastenders fans
2. Looks
3. Taking on Bear

In fact taking on Bear is why his not as disliked on here as he normally would be I reckon.

I like Helen too,nothing wrong with that,she wasn't as bad as some painted her,I also like Ricky who is the polar opposite to Helen but both interesting people and I feel you could at least have a decent conversation with them.

Interesting enough to keep on posting links to videos which include him though

Robodog 22-08-2016 04:11 PM

Ricky is popular, not for anything he has done (he hasn't really done anything) but he is popular just for who he is.

Eastenders helps but that alone wasn't enough save Gillian (Kathy Beale) or Cheryl (Heather Trott) but Ricky has the edge for being younger, being on BOTS alot and talking in that typical fake daft 'streetwise' Ali G voice that is so popular nowadays.

Plus people vote Ricky for the Anti-Bear vote. His only memorable moment was saying to Bear 'you are an ugly human being'. That was enough for people to think 'urrr.. if Bear is a villain then Ricky must be the HERO'. Basic public pantomime reaction. Boo the bad guy and therefore cheer anyone else who stands against him.

Honestly if the final was between Bear and a teaspoon then the the spoon would win simply because it 'isn't Bear'. It's happening now in the USA, people will vote for Hillary not because they like her but because they like Trump less. The media makes Trump out to be 'the villain' so whoever the other guy is must get the vote, just as long as it isn't Trump! Maybe Trump stood for office as a clever plan to 'be the bad guy' to make sure Hillary got in, who knows? Not outrageous to think that, seeing as she was even at his wedding in 2005 - google it!

As for Ricky being the other guy who is 'Not Bear' - he can now just sit back, not do any tasks, not even say much and still win the show.

Eastenders + Stupid street voice + Standing up to the show's 'villain' = easy, boring winner.

So, he does "nothing" and he's a bore. He does something and he should "give it up".

He can't really win. Maybe you need to give it up?

Amy Jade 22-08-2016 04:40 PM

Same way Jason did and you approved of that :laugh:

If he was that boring we'd see nothing of him, yet there's all these videos you're posting and feel the need to keep going on and on about it.

Almost like you fear he'll beat Bear.

He can't win, i've seen the same on facebook, he gets called boring, but when he does something it's false...or contrived...and nobody followed by #beartowin

And some people dont like to watch reality shows to watch people act.. (I understand that you two do and I would deeply recommend watching towie, geordie shore and ex on the beach instead, its more your thing) Its just a bit silly that people cant see why someone as gross as Bear may be disliked

Liam- 22-08-2016 04:58 PM

I notice Chuff is still referring to Frankie as the 'dancing queen' then, casual homophobia is great.

Your judgement of who is "gross" can be taken with a pinch of salt since you declared that Aubrey spitting in Bear's food wasn't a big deal.

Right.. But I acknowledge that it could offend others, that the warning was justified and that I understood the uproar about it. Acting as if Bear is great tv and there isn't a second side to the argument is what I'm discussig (maybe read thread before joining mid-convo). Theres two sides to every argument, youd do well to remember this.

And the great judges of characters was proved right the day after when Bear asked her to spit directly in his mouth.

Well he's nothing to do with Abba and whether it was prancing or dancing (which I've seen you use multiple times) you're only using that term because he's gay and you're using it in a negative way, which is homophobic and that's not very nice is it? as Bear would say, that's very narrstee behaviour.

I started the thread. You could perhaps try and keep it on topic. It isn't even about bear. You have lots of threads that you can throw your dummy on the floor of. There is no need to hijack this one.

However, Bear IS great TV. I see nothing wrong in his antics.

And spat in Chloe's knickers whilst he had a girlfriend sat at home watching.

The thread is about Bear.. Its also about Lewis, James, Sam and Ricky. Although youve already made it clear you dont actually want the answer to your question, so I dint think anybody really knows.

The thread is about all those who faced eviction in the vote Ricky topped.
It's right there in the discussion title.

No the thread is about Ricky and how he could possibly top ANY vote to save with any bunch of housemates. He has had about 5 minutes of coverage in the highlights and he was washing the pots for 4:45 of that.

Who he was up against is irrelevant.
