This is a good one, just shows there's not much to do Mo for.

You say repulsive, vile and hypocritical. These are all just generic insults which people seem to throw around on here especially when they can't justify their dislike for a housemate. They certainly don't apply to Mo.

You've used boring 3 times for effect.

So all you've got really is....he's boring, lazy and greedy. Which is a very weak argument for disliking someone even a bit. I believe the term is "clutching at straws".

Oh he is extremely hypocritical and when I prove that I'm going to show he is greedy as well, kill 2 birds with one stone.

In his VT he said he eats pork, and he also drinks and smokes. However in the house he pretends to be this Muslim and demands that Halal Meat should go on the shopping list, just so he can eat it. However if he does the three things in the first line then how is that not hypocritical at all? And how is wanting food for himself that noone else can eat not greedy?

The reason for using boring 4 times was for effect, you are right. Mo is one of the most boring housemates in Big Brother history IMO. I honestly can't think of 3 things he has done that have entertained me.

I can't point my finger on why he is vile, he has just made me feel repulsed. I also find his manners quite disgusting and tonight in the ashtray with Sara just made him out to be so desperate.

Just look at the housemates from BB5 and BB6 and see how Mohamed compares.

He's definatley not the worst housemate there, but he's for sure nowhere near the best.

Its funny that people call mo greedy when lisa eats more that mo! I have seen it but nobody says anything.
Last week kat was making some food and she asked lisa if she wanted some.. Lisa replied, "no its ok because i've already had 3 bowls of musli" 3 fking bowls! But again nobody says anything. Kat and darnell eat loads but mo gets called greedy.
Now with him sleeping... All of them have slept in the day and mikey has done the most.. Your falling for the bb edits all the time, i see it on here that one highlights show its like yay yay i love that housemate... Then the next day with the edits its grrr i hate that housemate... The same housemate aswell.
Its the same with the mo bullying.. The haters are like sheep.

Totally going in my signature

Yeah I mean I have nothing against the guy, I just think he should have been out a long time ago because he doesn't provide much entertainment compared to the rest of the housemates and there have been a few housemates who've been evicted that I think should have gotten further than Mo, and now that he's definitely in the final I find it a bit annoying that we can't evict him properly

The main difference is Mo eats loads when they are on a basic budget and he always takes what he shouldn't have, ie other peoples. Lisa doesn't do that.

Bogey Mo is selfish, nasty, stinking, filthy & lazy. He is a liar & a thief. He slapped Mikey on the head and deliberately hit him on the back of the neck with a ball.

He is a scumbag & a snake.

Bogey Mo & Demented Darnell out.

Is this your biggest gripe with him? Pretty pathetic really, seeing as you support a maneater who plays guys off against eachother and plays with their feeelings, causing heartache and distress.

What has Mo ever done to hurt anybody in there?

Going back to the whole muslim ordeal. He comes from a muslim family, and maybe his parents have accepted that he drinks and smokes but would be very angry to see him munching down on non halal meat on national t.v. Its called disrespect, and the halal thing is quite a big deal to muslims.

Why not try looking beneath the surfice?

Oh, and everyone can happily eat the halal meat, and they have done on many occasions.

Its just ammunition really, and also a very trivial reason to dislike someone so much.

Every housemate in there has been hypocritical at some point, and so have most of the population. Its human nature.

What about Stuart? Rachel? Maysoon? Dale? Sara? Kat?

What the hell have any of them done that is so special?

And thats just this year alone.

Mo has been part of some of the biggest storylines of the year, and his Mo-ments are hilarious.

What show are you watching man?

Sara and Mohamed have a banter based relationship now. They have disliked eachother in the past, but do the mature thing and stay civil to eachothers face. They have a light hearted relationship based on playing around and generally consisting of Mo winding her up with flirty comments.

If you don't get it, then thats your problem.

What about pizzagate? (Stu, Dale, Rex)

What about Sylvia hiding the food for the whisper club? Once again on a basic budget.

What about Mikey hiding food underneath his bed? On a basic budget....

What about Darnell and Dale's late night cook ups?

You are just using any old ammunition to express your dislike for this character.

Is is it one rule for some and a different rule for others?

That seems to be the case here. Otherwise going by your logic, you should hate everyone in the house.

You don't need to prove he's greedy, we'll accept that as a given, seeing as he's nicknamed "Greedy Mo". Even though it's no big deal him enjoying a bit of food and drink.

So you're just left with this claim that he's hypocritical, to add to your measley list of "greedy, boring and lazy" as good reasons to dislike him. Now the problem here is you've misunderstood the concept of hypocrisy. It's a close call, I'll give you that, but Mo's attitude towards his religion does not make him a hypocrite, certainly not because of the halal meat issue, and here's why. Mo is an independant thinker who tries to honour his religion, but is intelligent enough to see through it's old fashioned pointless ways. Therefore he uses it's guidance where he sees fit and still allows himself to enjoy certain aspects of life such as smoking, eating pork and drinking alcohol. Now, the reason Mo might request halal chicken or lamb is because these are available to him even within the strict rules of the Islam doctrine - so he refrains from crossing that line. To call him a hypocrite for breaking some rules but not all of them is to misunderstand the situation.

Your theory that he does it to be greedy and get more for himself is something you've dreamt up yourself, therefore void. Often Mo's settled for different meats rather than chicken or lamb seeing as other housemates kick up such a fuss. I believe he even honours the "no beef" rule, too.

Why does who I support have any relevance at all? And for the record its harmless flirting that she does with everyone, you don't see Mikey going into a big strop because Sara rejected him do you? Mo is starting to take it seriously and his attempts are laughable. He treats her like crap saying "I wouldn't go out with her but I would bang her" and "you can have this cider for a 10 second kiss".

LOL that is the biggest load of crap I have ever read. You're saying its disrepect to not eat halal meat, then what about pork? Pork is forbidden to Muslims so will his parents be angry with that too? Is that disrespectful? Because pork is forbidden it cannot be halal, therefore not only is it breaking the pork rule but its also breaking the halal meat rule.

What show are you watching man?
Kat I really liked in the opening weeks, she provided some great entertainment but she peaked too early and I no longer like her.

Rachel has shown a huge strength of character being attacked by Rex on various occasions, one of which Mohamed of all people laughed at. After everything he went through in the opening weeks I would have thought he would be better than that, that was a real turning point for Mo for me.

I find Sara very endearing, if you watch the live feed she is very entertaining, if you watched the other night where Big Brother pulled a prank on her in the camera run that is a recent good example.

Again, Mo's treatment of her behind her back is bad. I know Sara nominated him every week but at least she didn't go around being derogatory towards him and remained quite civil. Mo is only civil to her face.

The thing about the others is that they take repeatedly what wasn't theirs.

Yes it does, that just seems to be a long paragraph to try and excuse what he does.

The dictionary definition of hypocrisy:

1. a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.

2. a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.
3. an act or instance of hypocrisy.

In religion you do not pick and choose what rules you follow, especially two which are so closely linked.

Oh and I'd like to add extremely bad manners to that list.

You most certainly do! Religion is a guidance for people who are sensible and intelligent enough to use it's benefits properly - like Mo.

By tradition he feels obliged to follow religion for his family's sake, but they are also a family who are clearly willing to not stay stuck in the past, adhering to pointless rules which sensible people can see right through. The only reason Mo continues the halal tradition is out of respect for something which he doesn't necessarily need to rebel against, seeing as it is available already.

What you are confusing as hypocrisy is actually respectful, jusfied rebellion against backward traditions. Although, your confusion is completely understandable, given society's obsession with forcing down our throats the inherently ridiculous concept of religion and it's importance.

Religion is moral guidelines by which to live your life. If you say you are a good Muslim, Christian whatever then the chances are you follow the vast majority of the rules, especially all of the obvious ones. If you don't follow most the the rules, especially the obvious ones, then you are not a good follower of your religion and the "rebellion" is just an excuse for not following your religion properly but saying you are still a part of that religion.

Mo does not follow the halal guidelines, otherwise he wouldn't eat pork.

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. If he wants to be a Muslim then he should follow most of the rules. I say most because its impossible for everyone to know them all, but the obvious ones, and especially ones so closely linked should definitely be followed.

He says he won't eat non-halal meat because its against his religion, however he thinks its fine to eat pork, pork which is forbidden and as a consequence is not halal meat.

That is the point I'm trying to get across but I thought both of you might have been intelligent enough to figure that out.
