..I can actually understand in such a house and with such self protection against the negative environment that there is no escape from, how a balloon being protected becomes such a focus and her upset at it being purposefully burst by that very antagonist that she was thankful of a task to escape/to escape that negativity for a short while..but boom, the balloon was burst by him and her little haven of focus of some small shred of something less negative was burst also and she was snapped back into 'Bearworld'...she's not a wuss, she's someone who is trying to self-protect against a house of hostility which is being purposefully created for amusement and tears are how she's releasing....

I love you, Ammi! You have such an insightful understanding of human behaviour, and as always, you are totally right about Katie and the reason for the tears.. It is clear how so many of them are feeling this way, even though their responses differ.

Katie such a child

[hot2go]

Silly girls who cry easily or turn on the tears for air time shouldn't be in the Big Beother house in my opinion. That stuff can cause more trouble then any amount of shouting and arguing....it can be lethal....luckily she doesn't have some bloke in the house because that would make the tears even more effective....passive aggressive bahaviour

There are differences in men and women in certain situations.....women in the house cry more easily and more frequently ....they often don't attach shame to the concept of it and they often use it to shut down some else to win a fight....men cry a lot less, it usually takes greater stress or longer periods of time leading up to it....men in the house rarely cry to win a fight and on the rare occasions that men fake it, like Jackson for example, no one runs to their aid, no one sees them as a victim, no one starts a fight over it and usually no one watching or in the house has any sympathy...
Women crying in the house can be a powerful tool....men crying in house just dimishes their power. Crying comes with some responsibility and can change the dynamics of a group of people for the better or for the worse. An example of that is Katie getting upset with Biggins instead of letting him know she was offended and demanding an opology, like I imagine Saira would do or Aubrey or any of the guys in the house....the outcome may have been a very different for Biggins and for herself....she has cried numerous times now and I see it at best as a sign of insecurity and at worst as an act of passive aggression. Either of which are not good traits for someone going into the Big Brother environment.

But they know this Amy, before they go in..it's Big Brother not a weekend break.....she can react anyway she likes but how she reacts has different implications and in the case of Biggins it's threatened to destroy his livelihood and his name...unfortunate for him and for her and maybe unavoidable because of the kind of person she is but we can't ignore that it's happened. Maybe she should consider leaving if it's too much to bear. She's not tough enough to handle it. If it's a build up and the environment that are the reason she keeps crying then the kindest thing for her to do would be to at least explain that to people like Chloe, imagine how Chloe must have felt about it. She may feel upset but she's upsetting other poeple as a result, as a lot of them are, but in her case it's making villains out of people who don't deserve it as opposed to Heavy and Bear who are making victims out of people who don't always deserve it. For the most part though, when Bear and Heavy upset people those people have usually done something to cause them to bahave like pricks, even if it's only because they have reacted to Bear and Heavy and lost their cool ...but the people who fall victim to Katie's reaction have meant no harm when they've said the things they have said.
Maybe it's not been shown but I've seen no sign that Katie feels bad about how her reaction to Biggins contributed to him being removed and shamed.

Ammi's her name, not Amy.
I see what you're doing there, putting Bear and Heavy on a par with upsetting people...nice try.

[Munchkins]

I love her, probably my favourite in there

Well Biggins nominated him out of 15 housemates week one....six people gave him killer noms last Friday ...This week the housemates have put him up for eviction...three times, that we know about, BB have called him to the diary room to calm down....Siara thinks he's offensive, Lewis thinks he's bad mannered and greedy, James thinks he's annoying and Sam said she can't cope with him singing all the time. And of course then there's Chloe.

So yeh, I am putting him and Bear on a par with each other. I don't know why one is a villain and one is a saint.

[Anaesthesia]

I really want to like her. But in order for me to do so, she has to show me something that's not purely reactive.

Did I say he was a saint? Stop putting words in my mouth.
Now tell us about Bear and all his noms and his actual killer nom, smashing a window, breaking the DR door, wasting peoples coffee and eggs and saying he doesn't care, making Katie cry, most of the house thinking he's offensive, irritating most of the HM's to breaking point (which you have agreed with and love). I could go on and on, but you get the gist.
No, Bear and Heavy are not on a par with upsetting people. But once again, nice try!

[johne]

In every BB I always get annoyed when the nasty, muscular, pretty boys get a pass to the final purely on their good looks, but being a hypocrite I always fall for the attractive female HM's (except Helen Wood), especially those who get overshadowed by the extroverts. Being honest, Katie hasn't done enough, being emotional, she is beautiful and vulnerable so I'll be sad when she goes.

[empire]

the problem is that katie is a 30 year old woman who seems to have child like feelings, when bear burst her balloon she acted like an eight year old, okey bear should not of done it but katie should of took it far better than that.

I don't need to list Bears annoyance again, you've just provided the list yourself, again, we all recognise and accept it...it's the reason some of us like watching him....so what's the point of keep dredging over it...we know already....we get it...Big Bad Bear is a wrong un and we like it.
It's this idea of Heavy not being annoying and not being offensive that I'm struggling with.....I like watching Bear cause he acts like a bell end, which is true....you seem to like Heavy because he acts like a friendly misunderstood guy, which is not true.
If Bear wasn't so basic I would prob like him too cause he's a proper wind up merchant but I'm never gonna be interested in a bloke who dresses like a school boy gangster and shouts Boom 50 times a day like a pleb....what ever floats people's boat, just not my cup of tea.
