Seen it a few times now, Darren is used to flirty behaviour, he needs to get over himself etc etc, Darren has gone in there with a womanising and addiction background, and he wanted to change viewer perception, he has has to deal with John nominating him because he might fall back into addiction and he has had to deal with Tiffany flirting with him even though he has indicated several times he is happily married and not interested. Darren knows he had to tread carefully he knows the show can be edited to show him in a make or break way. I can understand why he has kept himself on the down low in there and especially why he avoids Tiffany

He's so petrified of being edited badly it's made him incredibly guarded and boring.

He's not even wallpaper, he's the paste

I know but he has explained he has gone in there to change public perception, so it's hard to blame him especially with Tiffany trying to mix it up, he is my least favourite type of HM, keeps his head down and coasts to the final, but I can understand why he has reacted to Tiffany the way he has, it's not that he can't handle her, it's because he doesn't want to

He's been so dignified ,he can hold his head high

Exactly Chuff...doesn't throw a tantrum and owns it and always apologises.

He is a cool dude...decent,fair and honest.Nice guy. He is defo my winner in there. I doubt he will win..but he is my winner by far.

He seems to be slagged off because he is nice ...at least he owns it and apologises if it caused offence..what the **** is so wrong about that.

Jim went in for that reason too, to change public perception but he didn't try to stay under the radar and coast to the end.

I hate the **** but at least he got involved.

when you think how much temptation he has had with his problems - it really is a strength to object to it. great post and observation Cherie.

The ageism on the forum this year has been disgraceful.

Darren looks really good considering he is 47,I'd have thought he was a lot younger than that.
Anyway age is just a number.

Same every series, Im shocked you've not noticed it before

[Amy Jade]

He's just boring for me, every few episodes he brings up John nominating him or Tiffany finding him attractive.

He's trying to get the sympathy vote imo

[reece(:]

One of the biggest bores since Gareth Thomas.

[cassieparis]

Darren knows that if he engages with Tiffany his personality will be seen for what it is.
A shyster trying to pull a fast one of the BB audience.

If he's truly committed to his sobriety he'd be able to challenge Tiff's teasing and deal with it for what it is. The real Darren wants to tell Tiffany to get the 'eff away because although he's repulsed his disease wants to play. IMO.

Rubbish,he doesn't like her or her slutty talk

I didn't say Darren likes her. He's repulsed. Doesn't mean that when he isn't focused on his recovery his mind doesn't like intrigue and innuendo. It does. He's an addict.

I agree completely....not only as he moved his life forward but his history of women and his current wife are all in a different class to Tiffany...she's brash, crude, loud, brassy and volatile....he wouldn't give her the time of day...he just wouldn't

He has politely told her not to do it, by telling her that he is married etc.
Tiffany by her own admission doesnt like being told no, and stated repeatedly that she will always do what she likes. Gillian was right when she said called her sex predator. She should learn that no means no. But she never will.
What is the point of Darren telling her to stop, when she does not liisten, and wont take no for an answer.
