Default Could Gina winning be bad for the show?

The prize is 100,000 pounds.

If you used to watch Big Brother and was thinking about getting back into it..

You would first learn that a woman who claims to live off 10,000 pounds a week, got in a fight on the first night and has spent a vast majority of her time in the house being rude has ended up winning because she is the most entertaining..

I mean, how bad does that sound on paper.

If a second newspaper was to write an article on the show after the finale, this is how it would be worded and I think it would be awful for the show.

Dexter or Gina winning would be great.
Dan or Charlie winning would be ok.
Hazel or Creepster or Twins winning would be bad.
Jackie or Sophie or Sam winning would be bloody awful.

Not really. We choose the winner, and most of the time nowadays the media doesn't care for BB. You just say that because you dislike Gina.

No, I think the winner should be entertaining rather than a fencesitter like we usually get. And I dont care about the prize fund really either.

Its down to the voting public in the end, they are watching it and know of her financial situation, so doubt very much it would be damaging to the show...
Its a bit like saying shes rich already so she shouldnt be allowed to win....
If the public think she is worthy of winning then fair play to her....
Celebrities get paid a fortune for being on the show and no one complains there....

At least its money she has earnt and not an allowance that mummy gives her.

Whoever wins it is fair..
The great percentage of the public get who the want.
Does not matter who wins you will always get disappointed fans.

The fact that someone has money or not should make no difference. Wolfie had no money...but we did not keep her in on a pity vote..it works both ways.

Gina or Dexter winning would be great for the show. It would mean being a fence -sitter, nicey nicey and flying under the radar a la Sophie and Sam no longer guarantees victory. Too many HMs follow this behaviour and sail through to finals but add NOTHING to show. What story-liines have Sam, Sophie really been in?

Gina or Dexter winning would mean new HMs would not be able to predict a template for a winner and therefore HMs would have to rely on personality.

Also I think Gina and Dexter are a lot nicer than some of the others. When Gina returned to the house, she didn't make a bee-line to slag off Hazel to Daley, he sought her out. She showed compassion to Callum and kindness to Wolfy. Dexter is genuine towards Daley and patient with cow Jackie, who I would have told to ******* off by now.

yes I agree....shes been selfish, self centred, obsessed on appearance, attention seeker, insulting, very little thought or consideration for others, greedy.....and shes one of the better housemates lol

I think shes rude and blunt not as cruel as the likes of sallie, but still she takes too much pleasure in insulting people just to get attention and air time
she has made me laugh a few times and some of her opinions hold water.
so this may save her.

I read in the daily star that Gina is a liar and lives on a council estate and has never stayed at the savoy and that she was in a girl band for a bit because all she wants is to be famous, but she got kicked out 3 months in and the whole poshness is just an act, has anyone else read or know about this???

I half agree about the quieter ones winning, but Ill hold my opinion as BB simply haven't shown sophie , she may be hilarious who knows. nice people can be both honest but also kind and funny too.....gina doesn't have the all round qualities for me

They should bring in Sallie one week before the end of the show and she wins.

But no it wouldn't be bad for Gina to win...I don't think. :?

I agree, I think she is accidentally hilarious sometimes and she is fun to watch when shes not being all the words you called her in your first paragraph.

But I can't imagine a person who isn't already a BB fan feeling the same way. I think they'd be pretty disgusted at what BB has turned in to.

Its a shame everybody (bar you) is talking about themselves (again) and nobody is answering the OP which asks how a casual/ex viewer would feel about this.

The only bits we have seen of her have been her bitching and moaning. I have no idea why her odds are so good..I suspect that if she was shown more, she would plummet. I know Gina bitches an moans too, but shes funny with it

The only way she wont win is if she is evicted before the final IMO..it doesn't matter too much how disliked you are once the vote switches to vote to win

I know why Sophies odds are good, it's because she's been cast as this years "ditsy blonde". Especially with that voice, that role is always popular.
