See that's another thing, the only meat I touch is fish and very rarely eat that, so the other housemates probably wouldn't tolerate my eating habits. I could very very happily live on porridge for breakfast, salads for dinner and toast for tea, every single day without change

I often think about this and too be honest, I don't think one person can ever go in that house without a bunch of people calling them fake, no matter what you do and how you do it normal human behaviour is considered fake.
The only way to not be consided fake is to be considered completely boring and get evicted for that anyway.

I wouldnt bare thinking that if I got upset about something people would call me a wimp, if I didnt get upset i would be an ass.

Get into arguments and im bitchy, avoid arguments and i'm a coward.

Show an attraction to a girl and its a fake showmance/me being a disgraceful player/perv. Dont show an attraction and 1 million "is he gay" threadspop up along with the pathetic vigin ones.

Do cook, i'm a control freek, dont cook, im lazy.

If i'm unpopular I would get nominated, if im popular I would be considered a bully to unpopular people.

If im self confident im arrogant if im shy and modest them im depressive/seeking attention etc.

And god forbid I do anything that mildly contradicts something I have once said as I would be slaughterd.

My Grandmother always said if they were as big as 'big ben' you could still bring them down with just words if you know how.

Ohhhhhhh so slight over exaggeration on how qualified you are to read people then

Your grandmother presumably never got punched in the face then.

I would never in a million years go on a reality show like big brother. I would be too afraid of affecting my normal life, or having some affect on my family.

I would love the experience of living with so many different people, doing all the tasks, and even nominations for evictions, but only if it was not an actual tv show that hundreds of thousands of people could see.
It would be good if you could live the big brother experience, and for the company to just hand you piles of dvds of all your time in the house, but that it was never an actual public tv show.

I don't really know how I would fare if I was in this years big brother show. I think the public could possibly find me boring at the start, because [at the the risk of sounding like Louise], I might just be too "normal". There's nothing particularly weird or unusual about me I don't think.

I wouldn't be constantly over the top happy, jumping around the place dancing and singing. I would be fairly chilled out most of the time, but would get involved in fun and craic with the group if I was in the mood.

I would try my best to not say anything behind someone's back that I wouldn't say to their face. If I wasn't brave enough to say it to their face, then I would just keep it to myself and not even say it in the diary room, because I know how bad that and two faced people like that come across on the tv show.

I would probably follow Alex's example and either not drink any alcohol, or severely limit my intake of alcohol when in the house, out of respect for my family, incase I spilled something private about my life that I didn't want the entire viewing public to know.

I think I would easily get along with everybody in this year's house. I would probably spend the least amount of time with Louise because she has not once yet had a single conversation that interests me, although maybe she is different than what we are seeing.
I don't think I would have much interest in Aden either. I would either just not pay any attention to him, or else shake him and tell him to cop on and start thinking for himself.

I think I would like spending time with Harry, Jay, Maisy, and surprisingly I think I would actually get on quite well with Anton if I was in there despite his gameplan.

If I wanted just a bit of light hearted fun, I could hang with Tom and Alex at times, but I couldn't see myself getting particularly close to either of them.

I would like Aaron and Faye when they are being good humoured, but I think most of the time I would find them too whiny and miserable to spend too much time around, so I'd probably just leave them alone until they were in a better mood again.

I wouldn't deliberately start rows, but I think viewers and fellow housemates would probably be surprised by how I reacted if someone started a row with me. I have got quite a temper, but only if pushed.
As I said I could get along with just about everyone, but if somebody did something to piss me off, I would be well able to stand up for myself nomatter who the person was.
I'd like to think I would be brave enough to defend anyone who I thought was getting excluded or bullied aswell.

I think if I had been in the house with Alexandra from bb9 I would have had some massive rows. I despised her.

Don't know how the public would perceive me overall, I think they'd either see me as boring or else "down to earth" and likeable, could swing either way.
If I did get into a row defending myself, they would either be pleased, or else I could be edited to look like I was in the wrong.

It's kind of impossible to tell. It is probably so much different than we think when actually in the house.

You are quite right Whatever a housemate does will be scrutinised, analysed, torn apart/dissected, and then considered we know them inside out, when in all fairness we don't

Being in the house would be the least of your/whoevers worries though, as you/whoever would have to contend with the boos, as very few if any never get booed, papers splashing in and outs of what may or maynot have happened in your life, then possible verbal and gawd forbid maybe even physical abuse afterwards from disgruntled fans. Places like facebook and twitter can show how nasty some can be ;o. There may be pluses to being in the BB house, but just as many if not more negatives.

Bit of an odd response,however no she didn't actually and I have seen her tear a strip off people if needed with absolutely no comeback whatsoever.

+ 1 to this post!

I forgot to add to my earlier post, that I don't think I would ever win big brother. I think I would last quite awhile though, if I was genuinely getting along with the housemates though. I can get along well with most people, so probably wouldn't be up for nomination that soon.
The public might be dying for me to be up though, "get that boring one out"

She was kazanne, we lost her just over a year ago,she taught me so much.

I follow lot's of the guidelines and advice she drummed into me.I just don't think I have ever seen violence solve anything.

If I was ever to be in a BB house,her words and one liners though would be something I would draw on a lot.

Aw sorry Joey,our grandparents are a great source of knowledge,I lost my grandma a few years back and I too remember her advice a lot,one that I remember vividly is her saying"If you have no love for animals,you have no love for humans" and I have always found that true.I really despise people who fight,I much prefer a war on words.

Odd comment?



Joey's is correct. They say the pen is mightier than the sword - and how true it is: even when in verbal context - words are incredibly powerful.

Not in the slightest. Have you worked in that enviroment, had the training to handle the 'problem' clients, council the high grades and act as advocate for all those you are prime care worker for? No! then you haven't the first clue on either the training or insight it brings do you!

Clearly not qualified enough to have missed 'reading' that Alex is actually far smarter - and having watched/paid little attention - to the clips showing her having very much tongue in cheek convos and well as intelligent ones.

[Black Dagger]

I think I'd last two weeks... I'd either walk or be evicted for being overly annoying and potentially aggressive, I'd no doubt get loud boos.

Problem clients. That's how you refer to the mentally handicapped in the locked wards that you allegedly work in is it?

Methinks you might need some re-training.

I think you just shot yourself in the foot Raven. LOL

oh...and the phrase you were looking for is 'Primary Care worker'.... not prime care.

I would be very much like this great man:

It was a joke response really, im just saying that if someone wants to hurt you words wont stop them.

[G1dds]

I could go either way.........either Id be there until the end as I am pretty boring and would slip under the radar OR id be out early as I am pretty boring lol

I would have thought you'de be the understanding caring type of person then,but look how wrong most of us were over Louise I guess you can never tell

Problem is quotes = a client with a problem that requires more care than simply being in the locked ward enviroment.

I don't need re-training at all, the problem here is your basic laymans lack of understanding.

That ACTUAL phrase is Key worker, but in a forum where that wouldn't be understood by the majority of the readers, in-house terminology would have been simply a discussion point scoring ego trip... The person responcible for the clients primer care requirements is much more informative to the layman reader.
