An American perspective on the latest episode of CBB:
Half the housemates might as well be potted plants. The only people that seem to be doing anything on their own accord are the twins. Aside from them, it was entertaining watching Michael talking to himself and love it that Denise was stunned that Michael stayed over Kirk and Natalie. Everyone else is just kind of hanging around. Even Gareth(?) only did something because it was his task to do it.
One of the things I notice is the twins are getting a weird amount of criticism for plotting and playing the game. Why do people fault them for wanting to last a little longer in the house and to save their own necks? Everyone is playing the game even if they don't admit it. It seems to me the rest of house has made a decision to gang up on the Americans and the twins are trying to do something about it. Is it really such a bad thing for them to WANT to advance themselves and get closer to winning? Are they all supposed to be on there and not care about winning? They all care about winning and they are all playing the game and twins seem to be the only ones that are open about it. |

Getting back to the original question.
Having worked overseas in America for 11 years I can see why the original poster is puzzled by the British reaction to the Twins. In America the strategic style of gameplay is admired on shows such as 'Survivor'. However there is a tendancy not to like this in the UK. So it is partly a cultral preference issue. Even as strategic players, there are many ways you can do this. I think the Twins are precieved as playing with a cold ruthless style that does not come down well. This is opposite to players such as Yel Kwon on 'Survivor: Cook Islands' who held on to the respect of his jury members. |

Michael and the Twin's are making this show for me. Am so glad they lasted into the finals week :)

But, on a high note, if the UK public doesn't like people who are playing the game, then Michael is your winner. I don't think he cares at all if he wins and is content to let whatever is going to happen happen. |
