Just watch Thomas coast to the final week, like last year's Tom

. It will be another under the radar situation.

I'm not finding much depth to him currently. He's ok but he's a bit vanilla. He's obviously not doing much as he hardly appears in the HL shows. There's so many other characters that overshadow him. They must have picked him to be a HM for some reason but I haven't a clue why. Let's put it this way, I wouldn’t be sorry to see him go.

As LT has said, Thomas ticks a disability diversity box.

That's why BB has put him on the Show, just to be blunt about it.

I hope not. I know we've seen these traits in the past but I would like to think people can see past physical disabilities and into the person instead. I know it doesn't really happen in society that much. It's not even a disability for him from what I've seen. He manages his day to day tasks really well. Being born without a left hand and foot has shown it isn't a problem for him and he hasn't needed to adapt as that's the way he's always been. Maybe I just see things differently? I know they like a diverse mix of HM's but I would be horrified to know they picked me just because I had different physical attributes to the "norm".

I'm struggling to think of anything else though. Like it's the token person with "disabilities". The trans person. The neurodivergent. The extrovert. The introvert. I guess things haven't changed that much when I think about it.

I'm like you in the sense that I hope that I'm wrong about why Thomas was cast.

It's just that so far he hasn't exactly displayed loads of charisma, so I am curious as to why he was cast for the Show.

Livelier than Izaaz, and hes got 2 feet.

I agree as they want to be inclusive ,plus he's young . BB was focusing on adding so many youngsters...they didn't bother to care if any of them will be good viewing.

Unless Thomas will come out his shell more in the next few weeks, like I said ...he has final week coaster written all over him. He'll probably never be up for eviction ,and
he'll probably slip under the radar.

That's why we needed Ryan to stay as he was going to nominate Thomas.

fredmeneedle · 13-10-2024, 09:45 PM

He's a child with most likely only a superficial interest in politics at home let alone in the US..... don't castigate him for a a throwaway opinion that he put little thought into.... he is doing the "staying under the parapet/radar" technique that has worked very well for many housemates in the past

rusticgal · 13-10-2024, 09:54 PM

Well he ran out the door promptly when the discussion was taking place between Khalid and Isazz..

GlitterUK · 13-10-2024, 10:44 PM

I have noticed that he seems to shy away from any arguments and I am a fan of him. I also don't see all the banter Ryan commented on. I think he is being edited to look dull as that suits BB at present.

Trump supporters in general are not normally casual in their opinions about him.

I get on with a few of them on the Internet, and they all love him.

Ray. · 13-10-2024, 11:33 PM

That's quite the large sample size, Mock.

Trump has the largest fanbase in American Politics currently.

I'm on about in terms of how many people actually love him, because the Democrat candidates at the moment are mostly getting their votes from people that despise Trump, rather than people loving Hilary, Biden, or Harris.

Ray. · 13-10-2024, 11:48 PM

All I'm saying is that it was amusing seeing you pivot to the few Trump fans you know online as automatically being indicative of his larger voter base. I wasn't seriously criticising or seeking to poke holes.

Well there was also January 6th.

And I'm having a laugh as well don't worry, I don't think that I could get too serious over Thomas of all people.
