All the HMs have one - so what's the big deal? BB is nothing more than a protracted GAME show and if you want to win it you have to beat the other HMs.

Some HMs are more blatant and ruthless than others, bitching and ganging up on agreed targets; some try the "I'll just be myself" strategy (fine if you're actually an interesting character); some try to make themselves indispensible in some way (hogging the kitchen), or to be "everyone's friend", or start a fauxmance to engage viewer interest, or to play the victim to gain sympathy, etc etc etc.

Yet every year we hear indignant cries that so and so is "playing a game" FFS, So What? Ultimately the viewers get to decide who stays, who goes and who ultimately wins because they played the best game of all.

Steve kinda spoiled HIS game plan early this morning when he lost his cool and raged at the "bedroom prisoners" - not a pretty sight. He soon realised what a fool he had been by telling all and sundry "I'm going in to apologise to BB" lol Too late steve old chump, it went out on LF!

Yes, it's not a good idea to deviate too far from your game plan of choice. It can be kind of hard to backtrack if you momentarily forget yourself
