Since nobody ever does I have to defend Ziggy. He has been called all kinds of names, when we, lets face it, set him up to fail from the start. He was the 1st Male housemate, joining 11 women. When he went in, everyone on this forum was trying to figure out, who is he going to hook up with! that was the 1st thing people were waiting for. Not only that, his 1st task was a date with each HM. We pretty much gave him an assignement to go in there, and get it on with one of the girls. Any man in his place would have figured those were the expectations. He chose the girl he found the most attractive. No surprise. Of course we all know that in real life you dont necessarily have to hook up with someone within a day of meeting them. So straight away, it was a c**p shoot, weather he was compatible with Chanelle or not. He only could go by physical attraction. And when he realised that the girl is not for him, he tried to break it off, but the fact is, Chanelle never wants to let go! She is desperate, to have Her David Beckam when she comes out of the house(mentioned it numerous times). So of course, now, Ziggy doesnt doenst want to appear as a horrible person to the public, therefore he forces himself to endure this relationship that he desperately wants to get out of. If you watched the highlight show yesterday, and seen how she made a scene on him for no reason and started crying, youo would understand in what awful situation he is now! Especially if you are a guy. Imagine wanted to end a relationship and unable to do so! I aint saying he is a saint, and he plays games to win just like everyone else in there. But people need to stop blaming him for this Chiggy fiasco. BB made it happen, with the format of 11 Girls and one guy. His bad luck is to have picked someone like Chanelle, who is pretty much a bowl in chain!

Most of this is a far fetched point of view bordering on fallacy in order to defend the actions of someone who simply doesn't warrant defending. Ziggy's actions have got him where he is today and to start blaming other people is the type of childish behaviour I'd expect from the boy himself.
Zach was put into a house with 11 women (many of which were very attractive). It's the kind of scenario most of us men can only dream of. It was a no strings attached week (at least) of 100% female attention with no other males in the area with which you have to share it. Far from it being a "no-win situation" it was actually a "Strong chance of winning - small chance of not winning" situation that only an imbecile could mess up. True to form, Big Brother found that imbecile for us. The moment Zach walked in the house and saw all the women, he knew the score and knew it was he who would be the only male representative for the time being and he loved it. So, did he get amongst his new housemates and let them welcome him and get to know him? No, within the space of a day Zach's desperation to manipulate had seen to it that he'd picked a favourite, an accomplice. In the space of 24 hours, probably less, he'd picked a favourite out of 11 women he didn't even know, not only signing away any chance of romance with most of the other girls, but also losing
alot of respect with most of the girls for making such an uninformed, rash, desperate decision so early in his tenure. Let's not forget, he'd already singled out Chanelle as his favourite before they even went on the "dinner date" task, so to blame
us or Big Brother for cornering him into this decision is, frankly, preposterous.
As for the relationship as it has continued since, yes, it's true, Chanelle does want her pretend Beckhams relationship, but that's not such a crime. In all honesty, I think Zach should be satisfied with that role. The whole "Chiggy" relationship is a two way thing which is a vehicle to take them both further in the competition. Blaming one for one argument then blaming another for another argument is futile, seeing as all arguments they have serve a purpose for them both. The only reason people get the idea that Zach isnt happy in the relationship is because he's always wimpering behind his girlfriend's back to the audience or to anyone who'll listen how he wants to get out. They're the same sort of lies as the "I'd like to leave, please, and that's final" ones.
So yes, defend Ziggy if at any time he is unfairly treated, but please don't tell me I, the audience or Big Brother are to blame for the way he acted in his first week, that was his own fault and his alone.
