Charlie playing the ill mum card yet again!
 

Let me start by saying I fully appreciate that his mum being in a coma is awful and I sympathise with that.
But in my opinion what he is now doing is playing this card far too often in order to make people feel guilty about competing against him.
Charlie needs to appreciate that everyone in that house has entered a competition to win, they all have their reasons and people they may want to help with the money etc
I really do not feel its fair for him to keep on about the situation about his mum, I think this is the reason more and more people are saying they want him to win, he has obviously told them his story and they feel guilty now for trying to beat him.

Isaac said the main reason for him wanting to go last night was hearing charlie`s story
Without live feed we cant see what is being said through the day, but it is becoming apparant that charlie is saying about his story on a daily basis.
Now he is talking about charities and wanting to give to needy causes etc
Talking about the starving people abroad etc, bea is engaging him and is genuinely talking about the plight in the third world countries etc
But Im not so sure charlie is as passionate as he would like us to believe.
Wish he would just be himself and stop this guilt trip stuff he is putting on people

He's over doing it, it's reminding me of the X Factor.

Yeah they seem to be editing that out on the HL's, I only found out about it all yday.

your right jay he's over playing it right now and its sicken me:bored:

I'm also starting to think that he must keep mentioning his mum.

The fact that Isaac knew about it when he had only been in the house two days speaks volumes really.

I'm with you, I feel terribly sad for him and his family, but to keep reminding people why you are there and trying to gain sympathy is a bit much.

On the other hand though, BB haven't actually SHOWN us him doing this, so we haven't been influenced by the story of his mum, I doubt very many of the voting public will even know about it tbh.

Him telling the HM's isn't going to help him win, unless we think that every HM who is evicted saying they want Charlie to win may somehow sway people towards voting for him?

Charlie IS being himslf. He suffers from Attention Deficit Hypeactivity Disorder as a consequence of a Vagus nerve condition .
His apparent 'back-stabbing' that people refer to is a conseqence of his condition whereby in order to process knowledge he needs to share it. If you watch his so called 'back stabbing' anything he says abut people, he tells them about. he needs to share knowledge to achieve a consensus. He needs to estblish a common Weltanschauung (world view) before he can process knowledge himself. He can't operate in a world with secrets or competing perspectives because he doesn't know what to believe.

I don't think many have said Charlie to win, and it's not like he is really favourite or anything.

:thumbs: I agree, he is playing the guilt card far too often.:nono: I know he may not be aware of what he is doing, but it still has the same effect on the viewer as well as the other HMs.

As for Bea attempting to educate Charlie and Marcus about third world plights, it comes across as both condescending and a little misinformed, but I do applaud her intent.:flower:

Thats exactly what will happen when the hosuemates are evicted and asked who they would like to win most will say charlie.
Its happened a few times already

Are you Charlie's doctor or something?

A few people I know have actually gone off Charlie since Noirin said she was backing him to win.:shrug:

There is a weird unhealthy obession there lol Charlie has a stalker!

u know pete of bb6 played "god said i will win, if i dont win, god doesn't exist etc.", then he won bb!

maybe manipulating housemates and public obviously works sometimes.

however, charlie's story seems genuine, i think.

charlie does need the money!

his story of gay bashing, coma mama etc are very very sad.

he needs sympathy and empathy.

it is not a bad things if he wins!

I think regardless, big bro should give a donation to charlies cause. he's put hours in and entertained us so his loss of time with his mum should be credited to a worthwhile cause

He shouldnt win just for that, i have sympathy but i dont want him to win this simply because people are sorry for him.
I want a person who has entertained me to win

And here he is yet again going on abot his mothers story to marcus

sorry but if my mum was in a coma, i would talk about it. he doesn't seem like the type of person that would actually use something as serious as that to win a gameshow.

whether the other hm feel bad for him is their choice. they aren't voting for him anyway, it's the public, so it makes no difference and it's not been on the HL shows so can't influence the public

What a judgemental expression 'going on about'. He is just telling Marcus how much he loves his Mum. How proud he is of her.

Well just as long as housemates don't nominate him just cos of his sob story.

IF my mum was in a coma i wouldnt be on BB full stop
I dont care if i had waited 10 years to get on I wouldnt go on knowing my mum was in hospital

I didnt say he shouldt talk about his mum, what i said was he keep repeating the same story about her being in hospital all the time, its apparant that it is affecting h/m`s people are commenting in there all the time how much they would like to see charlie win.
Marcus has said it, freddie has, lisa, kris did, saffia did and noirin did the other night
If he is upset about losing these months with her etc then why enter in the first place? he said its not about the money

When Siavash had the choice to make one housemate immune for nominations, nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww we know why he chose Charlie!

i think they all nominate people they have had spats with or don't get on with.

don't think he's been nominated yet coz he's not really ruffled any of their feathers except rodrigo

I actually said this myself when I first heard about his mum, I don't think I would have gone on a show where I could be gone for 4 months.

How would he feel if she suddenly passed away (God forbid) and he wasn't there with her?

you have got no proof that he keeps talking about it though. they have got limited things they can talk about in the house, lets be honest. they can either talk about other hm or what's happened in the house or family/friends on the outside.

Probably what he has asked is they keep him informed of any change he needs to know about etc
They usually do that dont they??
It wouldnt be enough for me though, I would have to be near and definately not on BB

For God's sake get your facts right.

He chose Marcus.

plus, his mum has been in a coma for two years. why should he not go onto big brother?? he's getting on with life, while still thinking about his mum

I'm sure he's asked to be kept notified but to be fair she could slip away completely very quickly (my OH's nan was in a coma from the same thing as Charlie's mum and she passed away suddenly and there was nothing they could do).

I'm in agreement with you on this one, I just couldn't not be there, whether she knew I was there or not.

Maybe it's what his mum would have wanted him to do, and noone saying he shouldn't be on BB, well I'm certainly not.

I'm just saying I couldn't personally do it.

Ohh so you know unfortunately how quickly things can happen then sorry to hear about that
Im a huge BB fan and if i got the call and was told your in the house but it was at a time when my mum was really ill and admitted to hospital or if she was already in hospital and had been for some time i would decline any offer to go in.

I agree with you there its purely what I would do

Charlie is a fake and everything he does lately there seems to be an agenda behind it,fair enough its a shame about his mum but every1 has there own sob stories but dont feel the need to keep mentioning it,remember when he got a bb wish ! if he was so concered about his mum why did he choose to have a big mac meal instead of a letter from home!

ADHD does not turn you into a backstabber or **** stirrer. I think yiou are making up pathetic excuses for his vile behaviour.

The adhd excuse is just that another excuse,some people try to justify all the shiet stirring and nasty things he does when he is just plain fake.

What if his mother wakes up......

Mother: " Where's Charlie?"
Nurse: "His in the BB house partying it up!"
Mother: "WTF, I'm gunna kill him!!!!!!"

David just said to Lisa "I want Charlie to win, its the principle."

i don't think any of you can comment, imagine how hard it must be for him. i'm not putting the sympathy card on him as i wouldn't choose him to win but have some bloody empathy.

Sob stories on TV are awful, so many on BGT, X-factor, AI.. Every year they seem to get more and more depressing. I think sometimes it is geniune, others it's a ploy for the sympathy vote but I think it does some harm because noone deserves to win on sympathy and it ends up turning a lot of people off.

He's in there singing and dancing, playing pranks on people, sunbathing and having a laugh. It certainly doesn't look like it's been hard on him.

true, its the pity card been shown every Hm has it

I'm sorry but this makes me sick. His MUM is in a coma, she's non responsive to her son!! How do you think that makes him feel?

How do you expect him to react? Moping around EVERY day that she's in a coma, constantly reminding himself he can't joke, laugh, smile, have fun... because his mum back home is in a vegetative state.

Whether you like the HM or not (I don't), have some compassion at least, this is the sort of thing that can destroy someones emotions. I'm not saying want him to win, or vote to keep him in, but certainly don't underestimate the effect something like this could have on someone.
