At the end of the day, these people know what they are getting in for. BB is like a judging machine. You can't really say "It's silly that this happens", it happens in every reality show. That is why reality shows are still so popular.

The more they got at me the more I supported him. So in my case I suppose I supported someone in the face of him beng unfairly treated. Supporting the underdog scenario I suppose. I still dont think he can win but like Aaron last year, he got loads of support because some people tried to rain on his parade and he picked up the sympathy vote. This is what Deanas is doing this year but she dosent have Aarons finese or charisma and copycats dont deserve anything good in my book.

Nobody can form an opinion on someone on a 45 min a day viewing, we can only surmise and derive opinions based on what our eyes and ears tell us. It just becomes so god damm hard to take critisism from people that, in my opinion, have got it wong.

One thing I need to say. We are having our own little bb here on our laptops and if I met any of my nemesises in person, I would be friends with them very quickly becasue I can separate fact from fiction and serious from game.

I like that, diversity is the key to human interest.

We judge what goes down in the house and form our opinions, once the show is over nobody cares and we no longer spit venom or spread the love. Its just a show to enjoy whilst its on and TiBB allows us to share our views and debate and take it to the next level, if you like.

This encapsulates my question, we've NEVER met them, so who are WE to decide their strong points and bad points. Yet, I see arguments on this very board discussing ppl who have about as much genunine interest in us as we do in them.

Exactly, how can we REALISTICALLY judge them.

That's why I made this post, it's silly how us 'randoms' can argue, armchair anyalise, yet are no wiser from one day to the next.
