I want Faye to win the show because she doesn't hide anything, what you see is what you get, and that, above all, is the most endeering quality that anybody can have imo
Thanks Fruit, I appreciate you saying that.

I do like Faye as well, just for the record. I wouldn't be upset if she was the dark horse that took it at the end

You don't get Alex, we get that.

Others do though.

Others find her a funny, charming, infectious ray of sunshine in a pretty dark house this year. To others she is amazing for rising above the petty squabbles and vileness we have seen from others (that apparently count's as 'doing something' to most) and maintaining a positive fun attitude to what is meant, on some level, to be a fun show.

Let me ask you though, what is, to you, 'doing something' in the house?

Is it having a showmance? Is it arguing? Is it being misarable or making others miserable?Is it being given a 'narrative' by the BB edit suite? Is it being a general ****?

While I get the viles are fun to watch, what kind of person do you want to actually win this show?
This is a great post, concise and well put.

I like Alex for the reasons I have bolded above. She is very sweet and sincere, quite a loveable character. She is also actually quite pretty, I saw a pic of her on here in the first week without all the makeup and she looked lovely. Would much rather see her win than any of Jay, Anton, Louise, Aden and Jem.

Alex, Faye, Aaron or Harry to win! Wouldn't mind Tom in the final, he is ok.

I agree with Kate here, Vesuvius has offered the best 'manifesto' for Alex so far in the thread imo

good morning Pyramid..I see you have started as you mean to continue no doubt.

The answer is that no, it's not an attack on Alex fans, it's merely an attempt to get into the mindset of a group of people that many have difficulty understanding and to see if there is any redeeming qualities about them.

About them, the fans....rather than a housemate.

well I'd love to discuss Alex with you but let's be honest...there's nothing to discuss is there. Hence the reason for this thread.

And she knows how to laugh and have a good craic with all of the housemates. Neither does she get blind drunk and make a fool of herself, or go around groping men's crotches when she's bladdered, and hang all over them like a rash.

Lots of reasons to like Alex - certainly in comparison to Faye for example.

She's the best female in the house - been saying it for weeks and weeks. I'd have clones of Alex rather than the other deadbeat types we've had since the show started.

Then you had better hope the mods don't pick up on it, and continue through the alphabet until they get to I.

I like Alex too,would be happy for her to win,she doesn't seem to come with the "Touch me not,I'm temptation" lable the others girls do,she is down to earth and sees the good in people from what I have seen she seems a really nice girl and far surpasses the fame wannabees in there.

Yes, she would be a good housemate to live with as she is considerate, but she is not very interesting to watch.

Maybe we will see more of her as the more extreme personalities are evicted, but for now i struggle to see why she would win as she is very forgetable.

She is funny to watch, they don't show enough of her, but at the same time that is a good thing or people would only moan that Alex is being more airtime than everyone else.

I am not sure how they would shoehorn more of Alex into the Jay Show tbh.

I don't think she is forgettable, I think she has had some of the funniest moments in there, the Willy Wonka one being an example She doesn't have to be upfront and in your face to still get noticed, she doesn't have to bed hop to find a storyline, she is clever enough to do her own thing to get to those finals and it works without having to step on other housemates, that is why I find her likeable

Some people need to understand that entertainment is subjactive. You can't say you want Aaron to win because he entertains you then be surprised other people want Alex to win for the same reasons. People have different reasons for liking certain housemates and it has always been clear to me that Alex fans find her funny, unpretentious and down to earth.

With respect, you set this thread up, asking why and what it is that people like about Alex, yet when they provide you with the thing you asked for: answers, you negate any acknowledgement of their reply by ending your posts with this .....

You did precisely the same thing with Chuff earlier when she gave you her own opinion.

Seemingly you appear to be less interested in accepting people's opinions and views: the very reason for you saying you wanted to start the thread.
