What you have to realise about the British (and Niamh), is that we have, built within our DNA, a history of public floggings and executions.

We get blood lust and lose our minds. We'd rather throw cabbages and tomatoes at a "baddie" for one night, than provide ourselves with 3 months of entertainment.

We let ourselves down continually when it comes to this attitude, and ruin the show year after year.

Yes how dare we like nice people. How very nice of us.

I agree. We should never have given the brown people their countries back.

Very good though i might add that to the top 5 best excuses list.

What? This isn't an excuse, it happens all the time. Housemates that do relatively little won't get nominated, and if they do, they won't be evicted. Then when they get through to the final, they normally win because every decent HM has been evicted (See BB10 and BB11). For me personally, Sam's win was probably down to a mix of the vote between Gina and Dexter being split and the fact a lot of watchers found him attractive.

It's much harder to be disliked for doing nothing than to be disliked for doing something, you cannot deny that, surely?

Another ignorant yank trying to make Brits feel pathetic, concentrate on your own country's troubles before trying to point out ours.

to be fair, the same happens in BBUS and Survirvor were a bitter jury votes for the boring useless person because the other one beat them all through their superior knowledge and strategy (Russel Hantz in Survivor, or Dan in BB)

I'd always take the nice guy over the nasty guy to win 100k, regardless of if they're my favourite or not.

If the prize of BB14 was the title of Big Brother winner alone, Sam wouldn't have won. People just didn't want to reward nastiness with money.

Oh he would have won anyway. I very much doubt anyone is thinking about who they would most like to win the money when they vote. The voting public just love a bore, preferably one with a disability or who has had gender reassignment.

Eviction nights on BB are about "evicting the baddie". They are never about keeping the entertainment in (at least with VTE).

Like any housemates you want, it's no concern of mine. I haven't really had a favourite this year - I liked Charlie at the start for a few weeks, then lost a bit of interest, and I've been increasingly favoring Dexter over the last couple of weeks, but I haven't slagged off any other HM's off, and have been fairly ambivalent to all of them.

I'm just trying to provide Roy with a reason that we like our pound of flesh on eviction night.

The problem is that the British public is a sentimental moron. To win Big Brother you have to appeal to that sentimental moron.

ah here, i'm not that bad!

The mistake people who use bb forums make is to think they are a representitive sample of big brother fans when we arent at all not even close.
We are extremist examples of fans who look far more into what happens in the house and what type of people are in there which is why forum polls are usually so wide of the mark when it comes to what the audience really think.
Somebody was working out last night that between the big brother forums we account for something like 0.02% of the audience.
We have no influence whatsoever.

no surprise there

Doing what Sam and Luke A done doesn't work if you don't have a story. You end up a bore out first in the final otherwise.
