298th Place: Gina Rio


Oh yay @ me getting to write about Gina all over again :/

I understand that she's a popular housemate and I understand the majority will disagree with her being culled this early (blame Cal!), but meh, I think she's awful

When I say she's awful, I'm not too sure whether I'm talking about her as a housemate, but I certainly find her to be an awful person. Slut-shaming is never a great look and oh boy did she know every word in the book to throw at Hazel on a daley (lol sorry) basis; "Skank", "Whore", "Home-wrecker", "Disgusting" etc whilst she couldn't have been more accommodating to Daley and his actions (taking him for a quiet chat to be a good pal and remind him of the girlfriend he has on the outside and to be careful). It all clearly stemmed from the fact that Hazel was a good looking girl (who got on with the guys) and also had more than 20 brain cells, whilst Gina was severely lacking in both departments.

On occasion she may have raised a chuckle (asking Big Brother if she could be excused from the Diary Room to grab her Louis Vuitton shoes because she wanted to "nominate in style", only for this request to be refused) but generally I found her to be an ugly person who was only lapped up by the trashy BOTS crowd because she gunned for the girl who flirted with the taken guy.

So moving on

I found Gina hilarious and honestly can you imagine BB14 without her?

I think we've established here that Jake doesn't love himself!

BB14 would remain overrated either way I'm sure

293. Deborah Agboola (BB19 - 3rd Place Goddess)



Clearly off to a great start again, I see! Deborah should obviously be 200+ spots higher but duh, we know that already. I actually don't disagree with the critique of Deborah not having many Moments, but she's more of a ~presence~ anyway and a damn good one. Every BBUK house can use a sassy Nigerian mother figure and Debs played her part well. She had fun relationships with just about every single person in the house, and I credit that to her steadfastness in not switching bedrooms, a move that I think was a pretty darn strong one strategically? I remember there was a live from the house right after the Second Chancers entered and Deborah explained that nobody will ever make her feel so uncomfortable as to move her from her bed, especially so that they can talk **** about her and her friends and scheme about them behind her back. Not only was that a strong move strategically, but it showed that she's a strong badass who doesn't back from from anybody.

Deborah also exhibited the rare quality of... being a human on Big Brother who is capable of self-reflection like, I think she's the only person ever who showed remorse and even embarrassment from a Fight Night before Big Brother was forced to intervene and give out formal warnings and lay into everyone separately in the Diary Room. Not only is that a great ~human~ quality to have, but it also led us to Han-nuh screaming at her about LET'S GO TO THE BEAUTY PARLOUR!!!!!!!!

My final favorite quality of Deborah (and really both of the Agboolas in this case, let's just make this a joint write-up) was that she was one of the only HMs in franchise history who was fully aware of Race and Big Brother don't exactly mix and she was able to discuss this both explicitly and implicitly in ways that didn't entirely alienate the viewing audience. Contrast that with her VILE SISTER who trotted out the RACE CARD according to the cat ladies (is that still a banned phrase? Don't report me please x) and we actually landed ourselves in a scenario where Deborah was the favorite to win for some time?!?!?!?! And then the show doubled down on Isabelle WINNINGton and Deborah faded to 3rd place goddess, but we also had the rare instance of someone actually going on A Journey in the house so it wasn't all for nothing.

I read the OP again and it doesn't say when you can use it, so I assume so.

[Babayaro.]

I thought we are to give reasons as to why we eliminated a housemate and not what we like about them/why they are a good housemate??

[Babayaro.]

Actually, forget that. It wouldn't be possible to do that for everyone :/

[Jake.]

thanks for that

[Macie Lightfoot]

okay if we really want to be pedantic about it then just copy/paste "bc she's not Isabelle" 25 times and that will be my 100 word Deborah write up

[Babayaro.]

I wasn't being pedantic. That's what I thought you had to do. I've never played this game before.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I know hun, I just woke up from a nap and am tired and irritable, no shade x

[Shaun]

Re: final passes, you have to use them when making your "save X, cut Y" decision you can't change your mind with whatever you decide to do this round once you've made that first post, otherwise we're open to all sorts of indecision/gameplay

[Cal.]

Sorry for the confusion Shaun!

I feel like my actions tonight have aged you 5 years already.

[Shaun]

That's quite alright! Who knew the death of the Agboolah sisters would hit me this hard?
