[rquote=2561906&tid=147373&author=vladicus]im not starting this to start fights or get this shut down but i want to know how some posters can be so hatefull and obsessive against someone there dont even know [/rquote]

I think there is a reductionist view in what you are saying.

Firstly, you do know the person. You are trying put a grading on how well you know something... who is worthy of judging somebody? Their partner? Mother? Father? Friend? Neighbour...

Some would say nobody...

The fact is, this show thrives on likes and dislikes. People create the good guys on the show and the bad guys - and you follow on your own relationship to the story from that. Just like fairytales, you hate the wicked witch and you root for the damsel in distress and wait for knight in shining armour to come.

For instance... what did Freddie do in the Big Brother house apart from moaning and groaning about not being disliked to everybody? Just for clarity, I'll rephrase that... what did Freddie do in the house apart from being (not my opinion this) ganged up on by Lisa and her clique who got everybody in the house from Marcus to Siavash to Rodrigo to vote for him?

My point is, without Lisa, Marcus wouldn't have been popular, neither would have Freddie. They both argued with her and because Lisa was the archetypal "wicked witch" of this story, you rooted for anybody who wasn't part of Lisa - even though for 10 whole weeks she was very very quiet and basically sat around smoking...

If this is your view of 13 weeks.

Anyway...

Big Brother only ended last week... Expect the hatred or love in or in Marcus fans' case the feeling of "what the **** was I doing admiring such an ugly loser like that?" to settle in until the end of September - by which point Strictly and X Factor will be in full swing.

Just give it a chance - the excitement to fall over. The BBBM reunion is on tonight. That should ruffle some feathers...
