When Bubble got evicted...
 

Can anyone remember when Bubble got evicted?

At the time it was the most shocking eviction ever. Bubble got evicted over Paul. The vote was neck and neck, with Bubble going.

Now, as I said, at the time everybody was hugely shocked that Bubble went (including myself). However, when I think back to it, and compare it to BB these days, I am not as shocked. Why? Because Bubble was a big character. Big characters tend to get evicted in favour of 'smaller' characters.

This was one of the first times ever that this had happened (a big character getting evicted over a 'smaller' character). Which was why everyone was shocked at the time.

But since then, it has happened loads hasn't it. Which is why it doesn't shock me anymore when I think back to it.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't say Paul was a small character I loved his little story :hugesmile:
I didn't like bubble at all if anything i found him very boring.

Fair enough Paul wasn't a small character throughout the series, however, at the time when he faced Bubble in eviction he was kind of a small character. His story developed later

i think its because the public think that big characters play to the cameras!! and then the overused and overated word "fake" springs to mind!! thats why!!

but the public are stupid for voting big characters out!! and then its an ongoing cycle for people saying the show is boring!!

bores out before baddies!!

and a baddy NEVER wins big brother which is a good thing :) so the public should not worry "but they might win"

what about mel and caggy in BB1 they were big characters and got evicted

I can't really remember Mel. Who is caggy?

Bubble got evicted not because he was a big character but that the majority of viewers wanted to see Paul and Helen's ronance blossom. That's what help kept Paul in.
