Just because Chris is one of the oldest + least attractive in there
 

and was slightly octracized because of it on night 1, does not mean you have to feel sorry for him at every given opportunity. it doesn't make him a saint, it doesn't mean all housemates must go out of their way to please him and it does not mean anyone who goes against him is a bully that deserves stoning.

let's say it was Pauline's name which was shouted from outside.. absolutely no way would jale be condemned the way she's being right now. in fact people would probably have condemned jale if she did conceal the information, accusing her of always pandering to Pauline

just why should Jale be expected to keep it to herself for Chris' benefit anyway? IT'S A GAMESHOW. the power housemate's at an advantage to everyone else in the house so of course they're all gonna want to get to the bottom of who it is, especially when the PH makes decisions at their expense. coupled with the unnatural levels of paranoia in there it only makes sense for Jale to do what she did. her actions were nothing personal. if the roles were switched and Chris was the one who blabbed, I'd bet a lot of money people on this site would defend him and be all He Was Just a Thinking Of The Others

getting really, really fed up of the extremely fickle and songs of praise mentality on here. what chance does the show have if even the supposed diehards have adopted the general public's way of thinking that has destroyed/come close to destroying so many series in the past?

Jale is disloyal and a liar soz

Um.

1) Pauline is the oldest, least attractive in there.

2) Not many feel sorry for her.

If you say you're not going to say anything then you shouldn't say anything, Jale only blabbed because the information she was given made her feel important.

If Jale had kept the information to herself she'd have come across to the public alot better.

Agreed it is a game show...however i think the housemates have forgotten this!

If Jale had kept the information to herself she'd have come across to the public alot better.

This above I agree with.

This sums it all up!

but bitchiness/two-facedness is everything the show is about?? s2g I don't understand why people want to watch BB but hate on the one thing that embodies it. and anyway for reasons I brought up in the OP what jale did wasn't two-faced for the sake of being two-faced, it was understandable. chris isn't even a friend of hers, why should she be loyal him? where was he when jale was supposedly being bullied? chris hasn't done anything to gain her trust

lmfao what? the BB house isn't meant to be some kind of finishing school. it's a trashy show geared towards people who thrive off trashy behaviour

Um. Not sure what point you're trying to make. Pauline never 'stood out' from the rest like Chris did on the first night, he was never octracized. Perhaps you should next time read the rest of my post instead of the first two lines.

I thought it was a social experiment show, for us the audience to observe behaviour???

Maybe i should switch off then as i don't like trashy shows!

It stopped being a social experiment after series 1 :joker:

True, that's when i stopped watching!!!:hehe:

Just restarted watching a few series ago.

I do find peoples behaviour fascinating:pipe:

I see your point, though I don't think Chris being old and unattractive has anything to do with it really. It's true though that the whole concept of the power housemate is supposed to mess with them and even if Jale doesn't personally suffer from it it's still aimed at affecting all of them negatively by secretly elevating another housemate to a position of power over the others, by sowing seeds of doubt in all their minds and by trying to promote dissension among them, I don't see why she should be obligated to keep it a secret from the others when its something which doesn't really help any of them. It's unfortunate for BB and Chris that some randomer has spoiled it but that's just tough luck. Jale wasn't entrusted with a secret and it's not like Chris confided in her, she was just relaying something that could have been heard by any one of them after it got shouted into the garden

:puzzled:But she said she wasn't going to tell anyone!

People change their minds I guess, I think it was more stupid of her to promise that in the first place and start going on about how she wasn't a 'grass', it would only make her a grass if someone had entrusted her with that information as a secret but they didn't

the edit just made it seem like she promised to stay quiet one minute and went back on her word immediately after

a lot of time probably passed for her to think about it more/things that didn't make the edit might have happened and swayed her thinking

Chris has an attractive personality

Pauline has not

simples

I just see it as Chris is doing what big brother has asked him to do.

It was unfortunate that some idiot spoilt the 'secret'.

It's just a game, so housemates need to lighten up.

And i'd rather Chris on my side than Pauline and Jale.

exactly
but chris being the oddball is definitely garnering him more sympathy, imo

so you admit a double standard?

I like oddballs, they bring colour to the world! (and i don't mean that pervy!)

Well said, absolutely spot on.

this is about jale's behaviour though
you all are pretty much admitting what I said in the OP.. lolz

BB told Chris not to let anyone find out.
Jale knows the shouting is the truth and hates that Chris is lying to her face about it.
He's kinda between a rock and a hard place but she's right about him lying to her face. It's a shame really cause they'll probably be good friends in there if it wasn't for him having power this week.

:worship: agreed with pretty much all you've said

My thoughts also.
