That's how he comes across to me sometimes.

No , Chris is the only sane one in there , the voice of reason , a decent man with a brain and morals and so deserves to win.

Seems smarmy to me.

[mrflibble]

No, I just think he feels he can't really speak honestly to most of the housemates and needs somewhere to vent. He's a reserved person, so doesn't want the confrontation and he's also a polite person, so doesn't feel the need to get in people's faces or upset them. That doesn't mean he doesn't have opinions or feelings though and the diary room is the place for him to let those out.

I love Chris. I think he's the most genuine person in there.

Definitely this.

He says so much stuff both in the DR and to his mates in there that I would say myself, normally he is spot on with his judgement on the other housemates too.

[Yaki da]

I think he's a con artist personally. Always be wary of the people in the diary room

I love how every HM who just goes to the diary room whenever they have a niggling problem is seen as sly or cowardly... like, can you honestly say that every time something happens you don't like you immediately jump in and make your voice heard? You never stew on it for a few days and say it behind someone's back?

I can only imagine trying to reason with Helen/Steven is like trying to teach a donkey to cook an omelette. I wouldn't want to have to tell them every time they do something I find objectionable either because:
a) I'd be nominated immediately
and b) I'd be talking 24/7.

[MrWong]

His opinions on the other hm's are spot on.

I like him.

They NEVER are. The diary room is the one place you can be a bitch without a problem. Chris is clever enough to know this.

You literally just made a thread about it, so...yeah... they are...

I don't see what the problem is. Why is it a good idea to bitch where there would be a problem? We've seen him talking to Ashleigh and Danielle about stuff a few times, and we probably don't get to see a lot more, so it's not as if he saves it all for the DR. Not everyone wants to cause problems and get into arguments, I would imagine I would also go to the DR to let off steam a lot just because I wouldn't be able to trust people in there. I love how restrained he is though, I'm quite reserved like him but I'm quick to anger and would likely end up losing it with the rest of that lot which wouldn't be any good for anyone. The fact that he takes himself away from all of that and saves it for private time in the DR is one of the things that makes him so obviously genuine and sincere.

I'm slightly biased with Chris because I'm friends with some of his friends so I know how they are and by extension have some knowledge of Chris, but I think is just a genuinely nice person.

[icecakes]

He,s a right misery, always moaning,he should marry ashleigh

[Heaven = Winner]

I like his opinions, but there's something about him that I really don't care for :/

Yes, but I am in the minority here.

I think there is something of the politician about him. I remember when Nick Clegg supposedly won the debate against David Cameron and Gordon Brown. He won it by looking down the camera lens and making people feel like he was talking to them at home. Chris does all of his bitching and character assassination in the diary room and I think there's something a bit insincere about it.

I just wonder if what he's doing is essentially trying to manipulate the audience. That's what the diary room is for.

Not true. He has similar chats with Ashleigh, Danielle and Christopher.

[karezza]

He's a creepy fake but he isn't evil like Ashleigh.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I would respectfully suggest op that you may be a poor judge of character

Possibly. But I think someone needs to sound the alarm on this guy a bit.

What Bianca said tonight about him and Helen for example...

"I was worreid you were going to take Helen away from me"

Vomit inducing.

[Me. I Am Salman]

@Lily @Josy he's clearly not the most genuine one in there, lol. helen is far more honest and real than chris.. she just goes about it in a way you don't like. shouldn't let your hatred for her cloud your judgement.

personally i don't mind him on the whole but he has a bit of a superiority complex about him.

Well he did spend 5 weeks trying to get her to actually talk and listen to him. It obviously takes him a long time to open up to people and he'd finally gotten to that point and then Biannca came in and tried to stir trouble and take everyone back to week 1. I think that's what he would've meant by that.

Have you ever read my posts about Helen? I defend her a lot on here.
