They are just people. Some of them genuine. They have lives and loved ones, and it makes me sad to think of the possibility that so many people in the world are selfish and in it for themselves.

Look here's the thing, yeah all 14 would/would have (in Rachaels' case) loved to have won and gotten the prize money, but I think few of them are so intensely desperate for that, that they are just 100% cunning and selfish snakes.

Generally speaking, they want the Big Brother experience (I would PAY to do it, without the being on tv bit. It would be such an incredible thing to do, I would love it). They might want to get to be famous, aka easy career/future. I wouldn't personally want to end up as famous as like Jade Goody, but if I could stand to get like the guy out of Brainiac. But generally speaking I don't like the thought of being famous or of being on tv. But anyway, they're just in it for the experience, and they may as well try and win... cos' why not. Why even compete if you're not going to make some sort of effort to have success in it. And if they do win, then cool, if they don't, it was a great experience. I'm sure 2nd and 3rd place would be incredibly grateful just to have achieved that. If I didn't win the money I wouldn't be fussed. If I was in the house and someone like Shabby won then I'd be pissed cos' she doesn't deserve it, but most housemates I'd be happy for.

The housemates are not just contestants. They are people, and more than half of them I reckon I'd really get on with if I knew them.

Everyone in that house will most likely be labelled a bitch by some people at some point, even if it's not an ongoing feeling.

It makes it harder to know who is really bad and who is really good because the public consider any housemate that does bad things a bitch or a gameplayer.

I bet if you saw them in real life and not in a closed environment they'd come across as better people. The BB house really does villainize people too much.

Nobodies perfect, and I think everyone has the ability to be nasty in them.....but they can do good too. I'm not sure if there's many real "angels" or "devils" in the world....

Well, I take issue with you about Rachael, but I think most people say the h.m are "game-players" because they want to slag that particular person off and calling them game-players is the only way they can think of doing it in a way that makes them look intelligent when really, they're just jumping to conclusions or have a particular dislike of a specific h.m.

Endemol villainizes people and manipulates the audience. Just look at a show like BBBM and look at their bias. We know they have favourites and just press the buttons of the audience. Of course there is good and bad in all HMs, no doubt, but the problem is they don't show this enough in their programs.
