..just going on from what Helen said about Kimberley..whether it be bitchy/boring or whatever their personality is, do you think in general as viewers, we're more likely to overlook negative aspects of a housemate's character because we might find them 'fit'..?...

I don't know, sometimes they get hate for just being boring eye candy though so I'd say it works both ways.

[Niamh.]

I don't know I think it could actually be the opposite, I think sometimes people automatically think good looking HMs will have arrogant or boring personalities so they may have more to prove (or disprove) from the get go

[smeagol]

looks are very important. just look at jale and chris grief they got soon as they entered.
pauline called one fat the other bitch called the other a slug and instant dislike.
then ash strolls in and they like him straight away.

thats life though. its like winston people like him but take away the looks what do you have. well what you would have is a creppy thick guy and everyone would dislike him but he gets a pass.
people claim looks dont matter but they are lying to themselves. as change the face you change the person

Personality is more important. Look at Nadia, for example. She wasn't beautiful, but she was strong and funny. She won.

Inside the house yeah but I think it's the opposite from the publics point of view

[Vicky.]

They tend to get more hate from what I have seen. And people who do like them get grief for 'only liking them for their looks'

Yeah I agree with this I was going to post pretty much the same thing.

Probably get shot down for this too but I have noticed Male housemates that are classed by some as nice looking seem to get quite a bit of hate too from the minute their vt is shown and normally for no apparent reasons, that's just my opinion from some posts and stuff I have noticed on launch nights..

[Me. I Am Salman]

good looking male housemates get away with too much

[*mazedsalv**]

Isn't it usually the opposite? People who are a bit more overweight are always supported more (especially women), by history goes, you can see that a massive majority of fit women are disliked even if they did nothing wrong. One of those that surprised me... Amy from BB8, used by Liam, patronised by Carole... came out to boos and disliked. Another Stephanie BB9, first week evictee...

I'm with you on that. I really don't see what she did to warrant that. I think maybe the overlooking of housemates negative points probably only applies if the housemate is male. The 'fit' females get hate no matter what.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Amy was vile from what I remember.

Really? I thought she did nothing wrong, all I remember is Carole's dislike for her.

[Kizzy]

I think it's due to them being 'cool' not 'fit' as to what they can say and not be berated.

Agree. Winston is not particularly fit in my eyes, neither is Tamara.

I don't get the Winston hype tbh ,in my eyes he is not good looking at all, and Tamara , well lets not go there

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes its actually called the halo effect and it starts in nursery school and goes on right through primary, secondary and into jobs

I don't care if people are good looking or deemed 'ugly' for me it's all about personality,take Ash for example,nice looking guy but just seems so dull and full of himself,and then there is Chris,not deemed fit but seems a nice genuine guy,also Aaron was nice looking and was imo a genuine nice guy too.so for me personality counts for a lot,Kimberly is also good looking and unlike others like her , seems also to be a nice genuine girl.

I think sometimes a housemates looks can determine what people think of them definitely.

A bitchy unconventional looking girl versus a bitchy glamour model? Saskia and Mary spring to mind. Sakia was hated from the beginning when technically it was Mary causing all of the ruckus. I'm not saying that was entirely dependent on either of their looks but there was definitely a double standard when it came to their arguing.

Also, to take something from the same series, I wonder if Anthony would've got that far if he weren't good looking? The fact Eugene was in the final 2 suggests yes but it raises an interesting point.

Slim pickings in BB6 thought tbf and I think had Eugene not taken half the prize fund he may have won

True. They were probably the two most inoffensive out of the entire series apart from Borlaith.
