What is wrong with being a game player?
 
It is a game show after all, and to my mind the best game player should win.

Ramsay 17-08-2013 07:32 PM

nothing at all
i hate when people use it against someone as if it's a bad thing

Every one of them is playing a game. Its the type of game that some seem to have a problem with.

Any housemate that says they do not have a gameplan is lying tbh. Even purposely keeping quiet to avoid nominations is a gameplan

Vanessa 17-08-2013 07:33 PM

Nothing at all. Lord Aaron was a gameplayer and he's the best winner we've ever had! :dance:

Marc 17-08-2013 07:34 PM

Who's being a game player?

The game they play is survival. It is exactly the same game plan every one of has has to survive life with other human beings except they do it under a microscope. :pipe:

All the housemates! :hugesmile:

The voting audience only likes three things, nice bland people, people who ***** out their sob stories and morons. If you don't come under any of these categories than your chances of winning are almost non-existent.

There is a limit to playing a game that gets people's backs up.

Playing with people's emotions, getting people to fall out with each other or just blatantly inventing a fake life are just some of the things.

I don't care if its a game show some things are just cringey and wrong regardless.

But Aaron won. I didn't watch it myself but apparently he was a gameplayer

Agreed, I reckon that Dexter is one of the best game players in there, and I prefer him over Sam, who has done sod all to entertain.

Also, I will never understand why wanting to win is seen as a bad thing :laugh:

'almost non-existent'

There's a few exceptions to the rule but most of the time the moron/sob story *****/bland but inoffensive person will win.

BB12 ended differently because it was the online vote that clinched it for Aaron.

See I think Dexter is the worst gameplayer in there :joker:

His gameplan failed drastically in the early weeks(or appeared to, unless theres more to it than I think), and he has tried to salvage himself ever since. Failing at that too.

He had a lot of the public onside though I guess, so he can't be doing too badly

If you have a complex personality, competitive and generally a real human being than you will be villified. The twins are testament to this since they've constantly been acting and reminding each other of the cameras so that the act doesn't slip. The voting audience is what ruins most BB series.

It can't be that bad. It got him this far. :joker: He was AMAZING during the live task to win immunity. That was genius gameplay! :worship:

I do apologise. I didn't watch it but I didn't think he was bland etc. This is why I love Kate as a winner, best by far

Marc 17-08-2013 07:45 PM

What has Dexter actually done to be seen as a game player? I think you're giving him too much credit there

I think he did have a game plan when he entered the House, but it went wrong. So he had to think on his feet. :hugesmile:

Macie Lightfoot 17-08-2013 07:53 PM

Because the specifics of audience-manipulating gameplans are usually gross.

south12345 17-08-2013 07:55 PM

Nowt wrong with being a game player, after all it is a game show. Its just how you play the game thats the problem.

Issac 17-08-2013 08:58 PM

Gameplaying is against human rights and religion.

smeagol 17-08-2013 09:05 PM

being a game player is fine but depends on how they play,
being a bore plan doesn't justify them winning. doing a wolfy and taking the public for idiots is not a good plan. doing a callum and pretending to be nice when your not is another bad game play.
the best game players will always be ones who dont any of the above
