Yet, you'll sit and become armchair physcologists in disecting each and every moment they make.
Does it not occour one iota that they will find posts hilarious, forget user names and then move on without a second thought to the arguments you have put forward over the hours/weeks they have spent in there?
So again I ask, what gives YOU the viewer, the affintity, drive, and direction you have in determining what role a HM becomes, validates, percieves, manipulates or juggles? Will they care anyway?

Great post and it takes a lot of sole searching to define the correct answer. I guess it comes down to who you are and by what virtues you live your life by. In my case, I loved Adam and liked Lauren. I didnt really think Conor was worthy of my support but after he got bad press from some posters that seemed to be overly wong about him, I decided to champion him.
The more they got at me the more I supported him. So in my case I suppose I supported someone in the face of him beng unfairly treated. Supporting the underdog scenario I suppose. I still dont think he can win but like Aaron last year, he got loads of support because some people tried to rain on his parade and he picked up the sympathy vote. This is what Deanas is doing this year but she dosent have Aarons finese or charisma and copycats dont deserve anything good in my book.
Nobody can form an opinion on someone on a 45 min a day viewing, we can only surmise and derive opinions based on what our eyes and ears tell us. It just becomes so god damm hard to take critisism from people that, in my opinion, have got it wong.
One thing I need to say. We are having our own little bb here on our laptops and if I met any of my nemesises in person, I would be friends with them very quickly becasue I can separate fact from fiction and serious from game.
