hes been the voice of reason all the way through, not taking sides, not arguing - only that one bit with shivourne...maybe that was his game plan....seems to have worked for him..at least hes managed to hang on...

He doesn't cause any controversy and has been a steady and likable enough character. I suppose there hasn't been anything to talk about really. Someone like him could quietly do very well, but I don't think he can take the win.

I thought he was ok up until a couple of weeks ago, when he started sitting on the fence & trying to be everyone's friend...

he's without a doubt one of the most boring in there. I can't name a thing he's done all series, maybe apart from trying it on with all of the girls.

I like him being everyone's friend. I don't know why being a good and fair person is a negative.

I think he just doesn't do a lot that is controversial. Also I think that our society is still a little misogynistic and we don't pick apart every little thing a man says/does/wears, what other people have said about him etc etc etc. If Adam were a girl there would be a thousand threads about what a fat bore he is and how fake he is for being nice.

Also I think it's easier to comment on someone who you can be somewhat sure was raised like you were, and Adam is more American. It's hard for anyone to know what ruler to use to measure him by.

For me I think that Adam is great. He has taken when he knows in life and made himself a better person who continues to try to grow.

agree, I really like him but he causes no talking points. The Lauren scenario was caused by Lauren. This is the problem I have. Winners to me have to put their necks on line. Adam has never done this. He has deliberately flown under radar. More so than Sara, Luke S and Scott. If he wins its sets a bad precedent for winners.

I don't like his sitting in the fence. That's the reason i don't want him to win.

Adam is a genuinely nice guy and ultimately I won't be angry if he won, but his strategy is to do nothing to upset the apple cart. He carefully has been friendly with Conor and Luke S.

When Deana is being mad crazy outspoken/ controversial Deana and basically standing out - giving us This Is Big Brother - talking points he looks at her as if to say 'wow, you are soo going to be evicted for saying or doing that, you will be evicted out.' Obviously he doesn't say this but his reactions say it imo. Adam is Mr Cautious or Mr Careful Strategy. He's approaching this as if it's US BB and he doesn't realise the public voters don't always want perfection or generic behaviour. Bad*ss HMs can often survive an eviction battle if they are interesting, witty or entertaining - see BB9 Rex, BB10 Freddie and Marcus and of course BB12 winner Aaron. Sara just says 100% what she thinks the public want to hear but probably won't win.

He will get 3rd/4th
annoys me when he tries to be the middle man and never stands up for his friends

Maybe Adam's fans are laid back like him, and don't feel the need to shout their support from the rooftops. He has likely made the final, so I am sure he is happy with that as I expect his fans are.

Loads of threads on Alex last year and her being hailed as the winner, and she could only manage third. Others saying how boring Louise was, yet she stayed over Faye. So I am sure Adam must have the support to survive the last eviction in the top four.

Rubbish.....that look is "what IS the big deal?". Not having seen BB before, as he said, he went in there thinking all he had to do was sit around with 15 other intelligent people having a laugh and some great convo's. His life has taught him to contain his anger, but to stand up for himself and others when necessary - eg. Aaron - twice, Shievonne - twice, Connor etc. He's not about to compromise those hard learned lessons for the vicarious pleasure of a fickle public. BB is temporary - life outside is forever.

I would not say he was pointless, but he will have the least interesting 'best bits'. He's kind of the new 'stop Deana' candidate now that Ash and LukeS are no-hope of winning insiders, Conor and Becky are out, Sara and Scott don't get enough through series AT to really get to know them despite being featured more for last 2 weeks. And the loads of the pro-Adam people are a bit 'oh Luke A is a freak'*

Adam is a sort of compromise candidate. Insiders will be sort of OK if he wins (he's a hetero cis gendered male). His supporters are mainly made up of 'he's ok, he's meh, he's not Deana', kind of supporters. No real passion for him to win, but more passionate about LukeA and Deana not winning. Conversely Deana and Luke A fans won't mind but obviously would back their own first.



* Sort of people who probably don't know any gay guys, either and get freaked out by it.
