The public is becoming more and more accepting of game players and entertainers in BB. 3 years ago, they would've NEVER come as far as 2nd place. It's actually great to see, and thank you Channel 5 for creating a vote to save - it has ended up being the best thing about C5 BB. Now, if only the public's acception of entertainers and gameplaying had come a little bit sooner - then Karissa & Kristina would have been awarded their rightful winning title on CBB9.

Let's hope this trend continues with the regular summer series.

Yup. Eternal blessings to Channel 5 for so generously awarding us the opportunity for a vote to save each week.

It could just show a smaller voting demographic now though

Aaron winning BB12 was proof enough that the public are loving game players now.

I don't think Aaron had lots of support because he was a game player, I think it was more the fact that Big Brother blatantly had it in for him & tried their hardest for him to not win...

Macie Lightfoot · 26-01-2013, 01:07 AM

Aaron winning just meant that viewership was small and the flukes of FB voting allowed the forums to control the voting as a fringe group

Done a great job Speidi

Conor · 26-01-2013, 12:06 AM

I think this is mostly only true for celeb BB. Theres no way spiedi would have lasted 10 weeks, until the final of a regular series. As much as I loved them, their fame and the short duration of the series was mostly what made them last.

Jack_ · 26-01-2013, 01:13 AM

I agree. I also felt that this time around the support for the 'entertainers' was more of a 50/50 split whereas I've felt in previous series that it's been more around the 35% mark on the side of the entertainment in the 'entertainment vs nice people' or housemate in the 'housemate vs person' debate, which has been refreshing. We've definitely had a lot more people on our side to help back us up which is good

not quite there yet though.

But yeah, I hope this continues. We've got second, now it's about 1st. We had glimpses of it with Aaron (and he's still the best winner ever) but for me, he didn't play the game nearly as much as Speidi did. So hopefully we'll get there this summer...we have a lot of obstacles to defeat first though.

No MTV can get more viewers than Ch5 , at times.

So these 2 Freaks
were one of a kind.

What's funny is that people constantly slag HMs off for being 'fake' and now here we are celebrating the fact that 'fake' HMs are being accepted?

Btw, i don't have a problem with gameplaying/fake HMs at all, but many on here apparently do and go on and on and on and on and on about it.............and yet here we are celebrating them.

They said they were playing a game, how is that being fake? However Ryan said he wasn't playing a game and yet he obviously was?

They said they had 'tactics' in the last week of BB, before that no one really knew if they were being genuine or not and yet they had a strong following. And if it's as simplistic as they 'were playing a game' then surely anyone who throws out the criticism of being 'fake' should just accept that they are playing a game and praise them rather than to criticize them. You say because they admitted it it should be alright, but why shouldn't people that are playing a game, and their tactic is not to say they are playing a game, not be acceptable.

My gripe isn't really with Speidi, well done on them for playing a game, my gripe is just i guess a petty annoyance with people constantly using tired old BB appraisal and criticism cliches in 'fake' and 'real' anytime they dislike or want to support a HM.

If it was the ''MTV'' fans like you've been saying Arista, wouldnt the ratings of been way higher than what they were? the ratings have been the same as they always have, so it just shows that the people who have watched this series are the same ones that have been watching for years. not just the ''MTV'' fans that you seem so convinced to be
