Anna Nolan was lovely. I feel like the Scots receive worst representation (and no representation so far at all this go )

What a pathetic, pointless & ridiculous thread...

Do you think the Welsh are being represented well this year? Or do you believe that ALL Welsh people are weirdo bible bashers who get drunk on the love of our lord??

Do you now believe that ALL Australians are argumentative, self contradictions & pretty women haters??

Perhaps that all men from northern England have mono brows??

No?

Well there you go then...

Whilst I do agree with your points, I just read in another Thread someone commenting that "Thank God they don't live in Australia" so.....................

Caoimhe may not be a nice person. But she is not a sterotypical stupid but harmless rural fool. She is a person. That can only be a good thing.

plus if you look at all the Irish HMs down through the years, they were all very different so whether they were twats or not, it shows that we're not all the same!

Brian Dowling is Irish and he's one of the most popular winners ever. You get idiots in every country. It'd be pretty unfair if all the Irish housemates were perfect and brilliant!

The old view of the Irish as simple country people. Who are too stupid to even be nasty. Even a Nasty BB house mate dispels this myth.

This why I think by far the worst Irish HM was Seany from BB8. He played the role of the simple and innocet irish boy every time things got hard for him or he was confronted by someone.

I dont like Caoimhe. But she does not do that.

I liked Seany though, especially when he pushed Charley in the pool

Seany was far from 'innocent'... nasty piece of work actually.

This year it's Caoimhe, the annoying, boring, bitchy gob****e - again who everyone hated.


I just think it's unfair to have these 2 morons be a representation of the Irish on a show like this because it's not an accurate portrayal of what our country is actually like? It annoys me :P
I liked Spiral bb7..

Orlaith bb6 was okay..

Norin was meh..

Keeva is a piece of sh!te.

I hope Gillian or Maggie from Northern Ireland go in on Friday
