he's one of the only normalish ones in there. a glimmer of the type they could of had in there.
to gina i cant give you my bed as im head of house oh and i wouldn't anyway lol
funny.

he isn't always acting he has no script most of the time.
maybe the secret and lie should be to reveal him then say sorry your now a housemate no longer a actor. that will freak him out lol

[Jords]

I liked how he spoke with Dexter as well when he was chatting to Hazel.

He would make a wicked housemate - when he's being himself there's been a few moments where he comes across as a really lovely guy who actually isn't afraid to speak his mind. There has to be aspects of a great housemate in him for him to do what he's actually doing to be honest.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the option to become a HM, if he pulls off some 'good stuff', and gains in popularity. They'd be silly not to put it to a public vote, or whatever 'justification' for changing the rules. Another story though, if he gets 'rumbled' early...

Gotta disagree with the drift of the thread here, I'm afraid.

So far this looks like a complete debacle. He's over-acting and the producers' heavy-handedness with the gimmick seems like it's only increasing the odds that he'll be found out. Sallie has an instinct that he's off. They're lucky the public voted to have him let the newbies keep their bags, otherwise, if he'd done it again, his credibility could possibly be shattered.

When Sallie tried to confront him on this - his tactic was to run away. Doesn't seem like he'll do a good job of maintaining the deception if put to a sustained bit of scrutiny.

Will keep an open mind, but, so far, this seems like a terrible gimmick.

Yeah but don't you think the guy would actually make a good housemate? Ignoring what you think of the twist?

[ruiphillips]

He is such a bore. Thank god he isn't.

[Ammi]

..we don't know that he isn't going to definitely become a housemate. they could have put him in the house first o launch night without his entrance, VT etc and the housemates wouldn't have known, so maybe he's an actor who went through the application and is going to be offered the chance to become a proper housemate..the public might have to decide...

[karezza]

I disagree - he is an awful actor, he would make an awful housemate.

[Me. I Am Salman]

He's boring and his voice is irritating

[smeagol]

cant see how he is a bore. he has to hold back so he doesn't get sussed out.

I think as a housemate he would speak his mind a bit. he has already put down dex and gina and that wasn't anything to do with having to act. thats just him not being able to resist saying things.

[joeysteele]

I wouldn't like to see him become a full housemate, it hasn't been said he could as was the case a couple of series ago.

It wouldn't be right for him to be immune from being nominated and then give him full housemate status either after a time.
No, I don't want him to be a full housemate and quite frankly as I have said before, I could have done without this him being the peoples puppet.
I would have thought something was very wrong from the first night, he didn't even need to ask where the diary room was and they had all just gone in.

The sooner it moves on from him being the 'puppet' farce the better for me I'm afraid.

[Fosse]

He is a really crap actor.

I think he's already been rumbled, or shall be presently.
