Half the housemates might as well be potted plants. The only people that seem to be doing anything on their own accord are the twins. Aside from them, it was entertaining watching Michael talking to himself and love it that Denise was stunned that Michael stayed over Kirk and Natalie. Everyone else is just kind of hanging around. Even Gareth(?) only did something because it was his task to do it.

One of the things I notice is the twins are getting a weird amount of criticism for plotting and playing the game. Why do people fault them for wanting to last a little longer in the house and to save their own necks? Everyone is playing the game even if they don't admit it. It seems to me the rest of house has made a decision to gang up on the Americans and the twins are trying to do something about it. Is it really such a bad thing for them to WANT to advance themselves and get closer to winning? Are they all supposed to be on there and not care about winning? They all care about winning and they are all playing the game and twins seem to be the only ones that are open about it.

You really are coming across very bigoted and a more than a tad Xenophobic.

Apart from that - the twins and Michael have absolutely MADE the show this year.

Sounds more like borderline rasict to me.

I didn't want to put it quite so directly - but I have to agree. It's becoming unbelievably tedious.

Oh really?? So you were praising the twins when they were sticking up for Georgia when she was being ostracized and bullied? I must have missed that.

Would definitely disagree re Michael, he has had a lot to put up with and had Denise not been so forceful with him in the beginning things could have been different. The house was turned against him but of course no one wants to think that D could be a bully, maybe not a bully but other words could fit in. The twins kept moreorless to themselves in the beginning.

Being british I feel quite distressed about the quality of our supposed celebrities, a few have put me off of their programmes altogether and I sincerely hope they do not get into any other slots.

I try not to get wound up by his comments and, frankly, it's actually kind of easy. I always consider the source and the source is someone who has a smoking baby as his avatar. Clearly not someone to be taken seriously.

Please try to keep to the topic and don't get personal ...

I'll ask again: if the 'Yanks' as you call them have made it all such a hellish ordeal for you - why on earth are you still watching the show. If they have ruined it for you, why are you still tuning in.

The twins may be oapaedos but I love them.

You really are going to flog the 'oapaedos' thing to death, aren't you. It was funny once. Once.

Getting back to the original question.

Having worked overseas in America for 11 years I can see why the original
poster is puzzled by the British reaction to the Twins. In America the
strategic style of gameplay is admired on shows such as 'Survivor'.
However there is a tendancy not to like this in the UK. So it is partly a
cultral preference issue.

Even as strategic players, there are many ways you can do this.
I think the Twins are precieved as playing with a cold ruthless style
that does not come down well.
This is opposite to players such as Yel Kwon on 'Survivor: Cook Islands'
who held on to the respect of his jury members.
