Toya is reminding me of early Shievonne
 

She really gives me vibes of Shievonne from the earlier weeks, before she got all moody. I mean, I liked Shievonne even when she got more angry because we all have downer moments (her eviction still angers me!), but I definitely preferred her earlier, more upbeat attitude and wish she didn't get too bogged down by the drama.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing more from Toya in the show. :cool:

I thought this too, her hand movements were so similar to hers

I liked Shievonne until she started to get all hummussy on us. So as long as Toya doesn't start waffling on about chickpea dips, she'll be fine :shrug:

Hopefully no one proposes to Toya.

Shievonne was a mess

"Wake up and smell the houmous"

When will Toya?

I'm liking her a lot atm, shivonne was a bit neurotic I can't see toya being like that.

Toya seems more sensible than Shievonne so far, but who knows it's still early days yet so Toya might still go down that path.

I got that more from Pauline tbh.

I hope not.

she's not as annoying as shievonne yet, but I could definitely see her heading that way if she's not careful.

Shievonne was a control-freak bitch who thought she could get by on some little catchphrases. Hopefully Toya's nicer.

Toya is queen.

These comparisons are only being made because they're both black #racism

Bingo.

You clearly have no idea what racism is. Lucky you. :)

Toya happens to remind me of Shievonne personality-wise, with her way or speaking, the little sayings she comes out with, her general quirky attitude. Much more than just their skin colour.

Serious question: Do you cry racism when two white housemates are likened? I somehow doubt it.

I mean they're really not that similar at all other than their race and gender so yeah #racism

Again, you clearly have no idea what racism is. It's seriously pathetic, and offensive, when people trivialize something like that. :sleep:

I've quite clearly explained what similarities I think they share beyond skin colour.

Nice that you didn't even bother to address my question regarding white housemates being likened. :)

Toya is older than shievonne was when she was in BB D:

Toya looks so much younger, but I see what u mean about comparisons

You actually didn't explain anything clearly at all. You said that she reminds you of Shievonne before she got moody and that you preferred Shievonne's upbeat attitude before she got bogged down by drama. Like... that says nothing at all. Check your facts ---Naomi Campbell ---troynuncdicit

I didn't need to address your question regarding white HMs being compared because it's such a dumb argument and doesn't happen without someone backing up their comparison with common personality traits, which you failed to do.

Wait, did you just quote a black female in this thread? #racism :o

Oh, and white housemates being compared without extensive reasoning much longer than mine happens all the time. There was an entire "housemate comparisons" thread last week, where there were no reasons given for most of them. :)

I get a reminder of Shievonne in Toya's general personality. It's as simple as that. I actually explained further than that in one of my later posts, and I could go further but I don't feel the need to expand further to someone who's just looking for trouble. If you want to keep making a mountain out of a molehill and bitching about an issue you clearly know nothing about, good for you. :)

Toya is shaping up

lmfao so much for your quite clear explanation on what similarities they share :joker: guess you have nothing to say

Nothing to say to you? Absolutely right. I don't see why I need to explain any further for someone who'll happily trivialize actual racism just because they're looking for a fight. :)

No, nothing to say in general. You didn't say anything substantial even before I posted, just that you sense that Toya and Shievonne are similar. If you actually had other reasons other than their gender and skin color you surely would've stated them by now, but of course you don't so you didn't.

I absolutely love how you completely gloss over certain parts of my responses. Nothing to say about the countless times white housemates are likened without tons and tons of expansion?

And I've already expanded beyond sex and skin colour. It might have been quite a general overview, but that's because it's early days. The witty lines she comes out with combined with the bubbly, quirky yet seemingly-strong minded attitude reminds me of Shievonne. I find them both humorous in similar ways. I'm sure I'd find more comparisons with other housemates with similar traits, but Sheivonne is more fresh in my mind. I've explained no less than, as I've said,most of the white housemate comparisons. You've only taken offence because they're black. You're the one making race an issue.

If their only similar I see was skin colour, why would Toya only remind of of early Shievonne? Surely, she'd remind me of Shievonne the whole time? Surely, she'd remind me of every single black housemate ever to step foot in the house? How come I'm not comparing her to Pauline? Well, because she doesn't remind me anything of her. Shocking, I know. :o

But I don't expect anything to change, you've got something to be outraged and all morally righteous about, even if you're completely insulting the true meaning of the word. Carry on, love. :)

She is great so far

Like I said (which you seem to have glossed over, ironically enough), your point about white comparisons is a dumb one, and I can't comment on a the white housemate comparison thread you brought up because I haven't seen it myself and can't find it. I found a housemate LOOKALIKE thread from 5 June, however. If that's what you were getting at, lol.

But even in the quite early days they're not that much alike. Shievonne in her early weeks was a mama bear and Toya's been a fierce feminist with metaphors about weaves and such. I don't think Shievonne even had any notable lines until she went insane. Again, I only found a comparison thread on HM lookalikes, and those don't need explanations since it's about looks.

and if you actually think "well, I didn't compare Toya to any other black HMs so I wasn't being racist!" is a valid excuse, you really need to reevaluate yourself. Racism isn't all or none.

:laugh2:
