Is being a "manipulator" even wrong ?!!
I couldn't stand Sam (and thought he was uninspiring) yet by the end even I had to admire him for how I perceived he managed to fool huge sections of the public.
What's most frustrating is when BB edit the highlights and show what they want which influences the voting public.
But that's not really the HM's fault - you can only be mindful....
At the end of the day, HM's shouldn't get preferential treatment (not that Charlotte was right !) and no-one likes foul play, bullying etc.
But I really don't see what's wrong with HM's using their strategic skills to sway other HM's or the public onto their side or to their advantage.
If you can be yourself and still be entertaining then great.
But the entertaining housemate just being themselves who really doesn't give a toss about winning (and won't act accordingly or act up to the camera) is a very rare commodity indeed !
Even Charlotte and Mario cosied up to the group and dropped comments about other HM's.
Courtney wasn't particularly a game player but you wonder if even she did a few things on purpose to boost her chances in there.
Sorry but the whole thing is ridiculous.
People complain about Charlotte for not being a "good person".
But really, the issue for many is they want to be entertained more creatively than seeing HM's just using vile, bad or anti-social behaviour.
Surely there must be ONE person out there in the country with a fantastic (and swallowable) gameplan that can't fail ?
If there is, I really want to see them !
It's not like there's not plenty of room for creativity...
