I don't think there's a problem with cliques tbh. I think there are friendship groups and that can seem a bit intimidating especially when you're new and it probably does affect games to an extent, but then you also get lots of examples in games where people do well who wouldn't be thought of as being in friendship groups, so I'm not sure how much it really effects things? And I think the difference between that and cliques is that from what I've seen people aren't really 'shut out' of any friendship groups, it's just that some people naturally don't get along with each other or gravitate more towards certain people, but without closing themselves off to everyone else. I'd imagine that any of the people who are being accused of being in cliques actually get along with lots of different people and don't intentionally segregate themselves or anything.
I know in TiBB BB though you've done amazing at the challenges Riley and you're one of the most active so I can understand that it must be really frustrating always being nominated for eviction, maybe it's just the way of the game and that particular format though, rather than it being because of cliques? Because it is a game purely based on popularity rather than being one where you're rewarded for success in tasks etc.

I'm sorry if you feel that way, because I do like you as a member of this forum.
My personal experience with games was different, having won The Bachelor and having quite a support from many of the contestants without being a prominent poster. I appreciate Luke and many of the members here for that, it was really heartwarming. :love: I'd like to think it goes the same as for other aspects and activities in this forum.
I read a lot in the forum, I don't always participate because it's not always my cup of tea (discussions/music/etc), but it's OK, I don't have to - I find my place here with the things that do interest me, with the people with whom I enjoy chatting, and it's a nice thing to have. Nothing else matters.
I think some games go a bit out of hand, and I wish it would be just fun and stay as a game, with people being more nice and respectful to each other.

I would say, do your thing, be the charming Riley the you are, and let things happen. For better, for worse, you do you. :)

Awh thank you that's so lovely :love:

Still iconic :love:

Thanks Jamie, you speak a lot of sense maybe you're right :) I do think some individual had acted out of order with me but I'll try not to generalise it to their friends.

Hmm I love 'smow' :joker:

In general on the forum I don't really think so but in games 100% yes.

This happens with TiBB BB quite a lot. It's normally the ones who have been known to "not have a group" who get evicted first and then the "clique" members remain. There's always a voting pattern when games like this happen I think.

Dont worry it isnt you i see you as one of the better hosts

I get a mod to verify everything before a game launches and before each round so no hunty

I agree luckily I never played before though so it's easier to not be tarnished from previous seasons.

Stop pretending you're an innocent bystander to everything. You were extremely rude towards me in the BB thread just because I picked who I liked and it wasn't you.

Idk and won't comment on games being fixed because it's not worth it and frankly it's all just speculative.

In terms of the forum itself though, I don't notice anything. Mainly because I only come on for Big Brother and then to run the game. I never post in the chat threads etc.

I've played games run by Jarrod, Shaun, Riley, Cal, Ben and lots of others and been evicted/voted off/killed and never felt it was fixed lol

I wasn't talking about the BB thread here :rolleyes:

I am fully aware of that but if you are bringing up stuff from a year ago and trying to insinuate it's cliquey for me to have a conversation with Adam (somebody I speak to rarely and am not even friends with) then I'll happily point out how you trying to come for me regularly for simply supporting those you don't like on a game by trying to get a cheap laugh from your friends by calling me male is quite cliquey too.

I don't think so. But there are some strong personalities in here for sure. That sometimes causes conflict :laugh:

I was stating that the reason Adam was blacklisted from my sweepstake is due to how he behaved last year. He attempted to shrug it off as joking so I had to get the reciepts out. We can't all say we've been innocent in TiBB BB when the fact is I fell out with you due to your baiting of me and Will and we've been at each other since.

This happens with the weaves

happened*
That doesn't happen anymore.

It happens

There always has been cliques (Brotherhood vs Zeta anyone?????) until some point within the last year when it died out

I don't think it's bad any more, at least it doesn't show

I think people have grown up though, I think I have anyway

I'm honestly bored of you deflecting blame, it's never your fault. It's always someone baited you or someone came for you first but if you look at the viewer thread all I did was disagree with everyone ragging on Adam which you took great offence over.

I'm honestly done though, crack on if it makes you happy.

Enjoy your delusion!

Oh no I wasn't saying you do, I just thought it was obvious Adam meant you

remember when we survived a very close vote together <3

also my cast picture was Sandra during the game WHEN she was actually filming game changers < 3

:flutter:

I love a Sam Bailey

A throwback!

:flutter:

I can't remember Sandra (but then I haven't seen survivor so that's probably why) but yes I remember the vote... good times :flutter:

Enjoy TiBB BB...wait wait

Jinkx tho :love:

I am enjoying viewing and voting, thanks :love:

You're all ****ing tragic.

I'm just going to close this since this thread is a MESS.
