Thanks. Here are the reasons for my nominations...

Mystic Mock. Very engaging. Talks a lot of sense. Seems very intellectual. I think we're on the same wavelength most of the time. I like the attitude and impartiality. Honest. Stands by their convictions but isn't afraid to learn about other people's opinions.

Zizu. Very engaging. Also so funny. Tells it like it is. A real down to earth person. I look forward to such posts.

Garfie. What can I say? Very responsive. Love having a conversation with. Has great opinions that I can relate to. An asset to this forum.

Can I go now BB? :)

…just to say one thing because Garfie is a very nominated member…(…and understandably so, obviously…)…that she is a ‘she’ not a he…I know that’s not always obvious but she’s a very lovely lady with interesting thoughts…

Sorry I was trying to be careful with my pronouns. I've edited it. Hope I didn't cause any offence. I feel bad now.

…oh no, that wasn’t aimed at you specifically…looking back you’ll see that there are quite a few ‘he’ in relation to Garfie when nominating her…and funnily we had the conversation on the forum last year of her being female …it’s more that I’d been meaning to mention it and as usual, got distracted…and your nomination reminded me …Garfie honestly wouldn’t in any way take offence at all…she’s someone who tends to mainly be a BB season poster so it’s not always obvious either when the topic tends to be only housemate/BB specific…

Divert the conversation so nobody notices.:) I love Garfie's posts whatever.

Jones89, I really enjoy reading this members posts, always fair and balanced.
A member whose posts on BB are a must read for me.

Mystic Mock, LOVE his posts not unsurprisingly.
The humour he injects into many BB topics are really lifting.

rusticgal, another who makes balanced views on the housemates.
I like her analysis of them too.

And I thought I was bad..

…I’ll do mine now for this week…

Mrluvaluva……because it’s pretty terrific to have him back…he was always one of the members whose thoughts I looked out for and still is…and he’s bad, which is good..

Ray……because he’s always a joy to the forum in general but in the HL thread also, he’s just witty and pretty and bright…

Kate!……because she made the Marcello fan club so obviously needs help but I’ll nominate her instead because I know she’ll get through this phase and come out of it as joyful as ever…

…just a wee reminder…

Saph - good to have her back and she’s butch about her own grandma comment cracked me up.

Ray. - great poster and contributer. Well thought out posts with great points.

Jones89 - I may not always agree with his post, but again great contributions

Thanks for the nominations @Mrluvaluva and @joeysteele you've both been great to read too.

And I hope that my Marcello-Meter thread hasn't taken the intellectual tag away from me in your eyes, Mrluvaluva.:laugh:

But how do you know that, dear Ammi!? :laugh: I’ve been called more things than I care to mention in my time!

We did have that conversation, Ammi, and it was quite amusing from what I recall. However, I don’t believe I admitted to either! :laugh:
I’m kind of thinking I might prefer my pronoun to be ‘it’, in fact! Basically, because the ‘Is she/isnt he’ appeals to my strange sense of humour, and I like the amount of confusion and debate it creates! Let’s leave it at whatever people imagine I am, or whatever they choose me to be! :laugh:

Cheers for your nomination, Mrluvaluva! I appreciate your comments. I’m liking your humour and take no offence at anything you choose to call me! :laugh:
I’d prefer to be whatever people want me to be, or think of me as (well, within reason, I suppose)! :thumbs:

@Garfie I too thought you were male, oopsie. It doesn't matter anyway, you're very sweet no matter. Xxxx

Maru: great contributions throughout the highlight discussions and other threads, always has an interesting angle

Garfie: always worth reading Garfies posts, a lot of thought and consideration clearly goes into them

Ray: reliable solid opinions on all things BB

…while you’re all here and buzzing with nominations…

Dear Kate, I have never admitted to either, so you’ve done nothing wrong. And thank you for your kind comment. In all honesty, I just want to be Garfie, and it really doesn’t matter to me whether I’m perceived as male or female. I’d say just go with your own feelings when referring to me. X

There are so many members I’d like to nominate this week, that it’s hard to reduce it to just three. However,

Mrluvaluva - has been part of so many interesting discussions, and I find myself looking forward to Mrluvaluva’s perceptions of housemates and events.

MysticMock - our views and opinions can differ a lot, but I enjoy Mock’s interpretations as they can be food for thought. I also have to express my appreciation for the kindness Mock has shown me, even though we don’t always agree. Thank you for that.

Fredmeneedle - He might describe himself as a grumpy Northern old git, but I find him adorable! I love the way he expresses himself, and the humour he brings. I also genuinely appreciate how kind and thoughtful he is. Thank you, fred! Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Thanks @Garfie I honestly hope that you're enjoying yourself on here.

I am, and I always do enjoy myself on here, and that’s the reason I return for each BB season. I have so much time, appreciation and respect for so many great people on here, that it genuinely feels like catching up with old friends after a long time apart, and that feeling is great. :love:

I'm glad to hear that, Garfie.:hug:

Cheers, Mock, and respect to you for allowing me to express myself, and work through my thoughts and feelings. It helped during my moments of overthinking and self-doubt. :hug::thumbs:

…if you’re looking for something to do this afternoon while we’re waiting for house updates and sneak peeks etc…just pop in here with your afternoon coffee and…
