Id pretend to be gay to scoop the 100grand. I reckon I would have the bit on the side audience eating out my hand.

Zizu just hasn’t got the social wiring. I might not be his biggest fan but there’d be an element of genuine concern for his welfare there, and I don’t think he’d pass the psychological-assessments to get in in the first place. Anything could happen to him in there. He could be exploited or worse.

I’ve voted not necessarily for all my favourite members but the ones who I think would have the most potential for rightly-proportioned BB drama.

All bar one on that list (who’d be an absolutely terrible choice if we’re keeping it real, and wouldn’t be capable of fitting in at-all) would have at-least a rudimentary level of social awareness and competence and some are really some of the most lovely, agreeable people going but because BB just needs a punch of a certain kind of drama, people like that might not necessarily be my ideal kind of housemate. Ideal kind of person, yes, but maybe not-quite BB housemate material, and that’s just fine. We all have situations where we thrive and situations where we either thrive too well or just not so much.

The vote for Crimson Dynamo was a mistake, PS. I’m not being funny there. I just genuinely didn’t mean to select him.

Thanks for the vote.

And the same to @joeysteele and @Kate!

[Mystic Mock]

I've voted for nearly everyone on the poll.

[Barry.]

I voted a few. Like Ben said, you and Glenn would be fun on bb. I’d love to put Ammi but she’s just too nice but she could be the next Rachel Rice?

We want Redway and Zizu in a secret room

There'd be a wonderful journey from animosity to understanding

I would probably harm him …

I’d like to see you try, when you probably think “raining cats and dogs” means pitbulls and ragdolls are coming up to scratch and bite you without the safety of an umbrella.

Standing up to creepy misogyny doesn’t make someone a fool.

And day 3. LT has a meltdown when he realises there are cameras watching him take a ****.

…I’m pretty sure that there would be a name blend for you both Redway and Zizu…Zuway or Ziway or similar…?…the crazy and nonsensical thing is, is that you’re both so empathetic and show such consideration/awareness in terms of mental health awareness…/…the impact on others of words etc and the harsh world that the internet and social sites can be…?…and yet with each other, any understanding that you both can show so much, with regards to others and other issues, doesn’t seem to be there…which is really sad because we all see how much you can both show such kind and considered thought …

He might have a background of care but then he can also just be … Zizu. He might know things about mental health and I might have a shade of neuroticism that in some circumstances you could see even parallels him, albeit at opposite ends (like Maru was pointing out and trying to psychoanalyse), but as far as I’m concerned he’s just toxic. We all have our value and his value is definitely better-known to the people who know him personally, I’d never downplay that, but I just can’t with Zizu. I hear what you’re saying, I hear what Maru’s saying (even if I have to reject some of the psychoanalysis, because I’m not instinctively driven by anxiety in the way that she thinks), but we’re never gonna be mates, me and him.

I wouldn't have connected anxious behavior directly to either of you as far as TiBB is concerned (anyway)... but it's easy to get the tiniest bit of it mixed into communications with the way conversations like this are setup with society... that's why I said I don't really mind any oversharing that's being mentioned because I think it is easy to misinterpret where anyone is coming from, because it's sifting through more difficult things to get a point across. You both are keen to analyze things, which I see as a good? Like I would not worry to this extent how either of you are being perceived... you both bring valuable commentary to the forum and in the end, that's the point I was trying to make...

I wouldn’t even call it oversharing, though, Maru. I give a lot of voice to my daily irritations which I don’t give voice to in the offline world, so that thread is like a cathartic release, but I’m still fundamentally very reserved when it comes to getting into anything personal, and that applies to me as I am offline as well as on here (and on other forums). I reveal a few bits and bobs here-and-there but none of it deeply telling of what’s truly personal. I get what you’re saying about a vein of neuroticism and, again, that’s another thing I wouldn’t dare get into on the open, because that’s not one of the things I’m comfortable delving into except on a one-to-one basis with people I’ve personally vetted out and trust enough, but yeah. I know this forum has people who like to assume over-familiarity with various strangers (that’s not aimed at you at-all, btw) but we all draw the veil somewhere, and my bar’s inherently low, because I’m just naturally someone who sits on way more than I ever reveal, even anonymously online. That irks people who like to assume over-familiarity and project onto you for reasons that probably have nothing to actually do with you as you truly are (again, not talking about you), but I’m always eager to draw that boundary.

So, yeah. I have to disagree with you a little on the oversharing bit. What I air on that thread is small enough for me to be relatively casually explicit about. It’s more release (a little tongue-in-cheek here-and-there, building on my rep. for being a complainer) than reveal. The big-fry, the truly personal? That’s tucked away more than I ever give flashes of them on here (and only then when it’s apt and fits the context). It’s all me, but a version of me curated for different spaces. No bluff, but no getting truly personal with most people, either. Only the people who have more access to that side of me, and there aren’t many of them on this forum, who I’d share those things with. Like I say, it’s curated. Selective.

…Redway, I wasn’t suggesting that you were both alike or that a ‘mate situation’ could happen…just that you both have showed an awareness and consideration for mental health and well-being in regards to the impact of hurtful language etc …especially on the internet and with those we don’t know…it can’t feel or be healthy for either of you and ignoring is an option that would feel like the better way for you both…I’ve seen it mentioned but not really so much applied…anyway, I leave you both to continue with whatever this is ….
