Default Why do haters view any vote for Mikey as a sympathy vote?

It really annoys me that the Mikey haters are making it out like anyone who supports Mikey is only doing it because he's blind. That's not the case at all. I love his fun, energetic, entertaining personality. He's a great person and so far he's been really nice to everyone in the house. The fact that he doesn't let his disability get him down (and think how hard it must be to be blind!) is just a bonus.

The only reason someone wouldn't vote AGAINST Mikey is because he's blind. Yes, he could be annoying and you could have reasons to like/dislike him, but at the end of the day if you're voting out a blind guy, you'll seem like a bad guy.

Supporting him doesn't make it a sympathy vote.

Hm? I'm not voting against Mikey and it has nothing to do with his disability.

Yes, deffo i like mikey because of his kind personalitiy, hes also very amusing. People dont vote for him because they feel sorry for him, people need to understand he is just like other housemates, and has his own fans too Go Mikey WOOP!

I think he is a bit annoying and his stand up routine really shocked me, having said that tho, he is harmless and he means well. at the mo he is not my least favourite Housemate, so I'm not bothered about getting rid of him just yet.. whether he is blind or not doesnt come into it

I can't see any reason to vote against Mikey. He's fun and genuine which most BB fans claim to be their most important factors when picking a favourite. Yes his voice can be slightly annoying as it's quite nasal, but it's not exactly an issue.

Plus he's Scottish. I like the jocks.

It's nice to see so many Mikey fans speaking up!

I think people who have Mikey on their "hate" list are just trying to prove that they don't worry about being politically correct, thinking that somehow makes them "cool." I'm not politically correct either in other ways, but why be offensive just for the sake of being offensive? They complain about people liking him because he is blind, but they actually dislike him for the same reason.

Is it too much to believe that people hate him simply because he is a tit?
I dislike him cus he's vile, pompous and condescending.
If he wasn't blind he'd still be the same, so that kind of blows your argument out of the water.

I hate Michael because he contributes nothing to the house. He's rude, vile, boring, insipid, naďve, and incredibly annoying. If he were entertaining in any way it might be different, but at the moment he hasn't really done anything to deserve my vote and/or respect.

i think hes a good housemate!
but his personality is not good!

i dont think him being like or dislike has nothing to do with him being blind!
thats why he doesnt realy have much hater and much fans! cuz he hasnt done anything nasty, he may have said a few things, but it was probably influenced by mario!

get luke out!
kat 2 win!

He's arguably got the best diary room sessions, and he's definitely in top 3 at least.

I think people who like Mikey like him because of his personality
as with people who don;t like him.
nobody really thinks of his disability as a reason to support him or not.
I find him incredibly irritating

I dont like Mikey becuase hes really grumpy! but I wouldnt say his votes would all be sympathy, although some will be, and then the odd scottish vote and maybe a few actual Mikey fans. Not all sympathy votes.
