For the first few weeks Luke S felt like a contender.

He had the girl, the looks (apparently) the cunning hint of being an enigma
but over last 2 weeks he's looking increasingly irrelevant.

Where has it gone wrong?

[Niamh.]

He hasn't got the personality, no one ever won the show purely because they got a girl and were good looking. If his aim was to get the girl and avoid being nominated however then that has worked for him so far

[cassieparis]

He ain't got no game.
He's got Ashleigh's flat arsse.
It's almost abusive offering the inadequate your "attentions" as missile cover.
Be a man Luke S. Be a man and stop hiding behind your Ashleigh's desperation.

[Patrick]

He's a dull bint.

[Patrick]

But that time he spent an hour in the small task room talking to himself? Legend.

[MTVN]

Has it gone wrong? I think he's almost a cert for the final and can't see him getting nommed, he gets along with most of them in there and I can see him getting votes because he's a pretty nice guy really, he's had a romance and he's probably quite popular among teenage girls

But what's the point in being in final and not being a contender? Eg Everyone bar Josie BB12. Andrew???

I think it's better to be out now, get a few BBOTS shows under belt and cheesy Daily Star interview etc. When final approaches it will be time for CBB and only the winner will get any attention. I'd rather be out now (not next week due to Olympics clash) than face the embarassment of being first or second out in a 6-person final.

[Jords]

Very boring HM.

And you were able to cap it off with his lucky standby "legend." Class.

Fwiw, I don't think Luke S. and his plan are at all off-course, at least not in his own opinion. Like MTVN said, popular enough, most likely won't get nominated. Just built up a "friendship" with Luke A, has stayed off Deana's radar enough while leaving Conor in her sights, etc etc.

[Jords]

Whats the point getting to the final if you have no chance of winning?

I doubt he could win the whole thing as well, but it doesn't mean he can't.

[Jords]

Luke S has polled in the bottom 3 with Ashleigh on the favourite polls for weeks on end now all over the internet (here, DS, Tellymix etc.), he definitely wont be winning.

[MTVN]

He has a chance at winning depending on who else is in the final, he's possibly the most popular of the Insiders and if he can build bridges with Luke A that'd work in his favour, hard to say how he'd do though when he's never been up

[EzzaB]

I never thought he had a chance anyway, there's people in there with way more personality and character and air time (the most important thing) than him

[alex_front2]

Luke S can only win if Deana, Lauren Adam are not in final.

[WCR1942]

Alex
You are surely not suggesting that BBUK will be, in even remotest way, affected by The Olympics?
It's only the biggest sporting event in The World! Billions of viewers in almost 200 countries.

In general hes more liked but the other Insiders have more fans than him.

[Locke.]

He played the first few weeks perfectly. The relationship, going under the radar to avoid nominations, not letting his disagreement with Chris turn into the argument Chris was leading it into, forming a large group that would stick together.

But really he could have done with Ashleigh being evicted midway through the series. If that had happened he'd have had a better chance at getting more airtime and letting himself go a bit. Will probably make the final week now but unless something big happens between now and then he hasn't got a shot at winning.

[alex_front2]

And Conor has replaced him as alpha male.

[joeysteele]

His problem is that he cannot really shine with Ashleigh always there, in the tasks when he has been separate from her he is a really good and entertaining housemate overall.
He hasn't seen that, hopefully sometime over the next 3 weeks or so he will and then really step forward and go for it.

I still think the public like him enough to take him to the final even if he was nominated for eviction, once there anything could happen.

[Petershaw1984]

He CAME he saw and he never conquered. Simply didnt last long enough

[MrWong]

It went wrong when his only choice for his fauxmance gameplan was Ash.

She's horrific and drags him down.

He's also incredibly dull.

[Marcus.]

the fauxmance whit trashiegh

[Vanessa]

Conor is a better alpha male than him!

[Kizzy]

He is very very boring...
