Out of the constraints of the BB house I'm quite sure he's just an average guy that can get along with pretty much anyone. The current state of our society in general is appalling in my opinion. Unfortunately we live in a time where stupidity, vulgarity, and general lack of compassion is rewarded on a daily basis. So even though it's just a game, a lot of us want the good guy to win over some vile idiot just so we know there's some hope left for society lol
I'm over 30 and I favor him for a number of reasons but mostly because I agree with a lot of his views and can relate to him more than any other HM. I think in general, the majority of the public closer to his age and maturity level will show him continued support (hopefully). Remember they're playing a game to win 100,000. It looks like he's in it to win it and people always seem to begrudge him for actually playing the game instead of being a floater like the majority of the house.
Sorry..I'm bored..and I'm really enjoying the forums :-)
