It's 'Fabulous TiBB' and it sucks. There is a really monotonous zeitgeist of buddy up back slapping, .gif over content, a droning manifesto of what's 'fierce' and what's not [usually relegated to a small handful of media personalities/pop faces and not much else] and a you'd-be-stupid-to-deny-it clique mentality that permeates and drags down almost every thread.

Apparently making vulgar comments about others obesity is in [even though most of these people are bound to have a few friends and relatives who would be considered overweight]. And most of the teenage boys would kill to be black and female, seemingly.

I have just made a joke in another thread but in all seriousness the comments that aren't jokes are a little bit OTT.

[Marcus.]

there is no need for it

[Vanessa]

She looks fine to me.

[Kazanne]

It shows a small mind really with nothing intelligent to say.

[Vanessa]

There's more to someone that their appearance. It's what's inside that counts.

She must have gone something pretty traumatic to put on all that weight (probably the Steps fallout). She used to be pretty fit though.



But yeah, i agree petty comments regarding her weight are just small minded.

[flamingGalah!]

Not really, she's very happily married with 2 kids, a lot of women (& men) put weight on when they are settled & content...

And many keep it down, especially those that are in the public eye. You can tell she does not possess that much confidence either, whenever there is any conflict she retreats and refuses to speak her mind.

Matter of opinion i guess. I could be totally wrong but i just get the impression that she's been through something draining, lost confidence and has turned to the comfort of food.

But she hadn't been in the public eye for years. She did of course drop a lot of weight, then it slowly crept back on again, as it does to many, many people. She is a wife & mother first, celeb second...

I still think she looks great, she's very pretty & if she's comfortable with her weight I don't see why it should be an issue for anyone else.

I never said it should be, i merely offered a reason as to why i thought she put on the weight.

Tbh, I'm not entirely sure why you seem adamant on disputing my opinion. It's just an opinion. Neither you or I can prove one way or the other. I'm not saying my opinion is categorically the reason why she put on the weight, it's just the impression i get through certain actions of hers and things she says.

How many of you can honestly sit there and slag someone off because of their weight without feeling the slightest bit guilty...

It isn't at all fair.

Rant over.

I very much agree with your thread and Razor has also been subjected to the insults from some people on here. I mean, who are anyone to judge/rub it into their faces about their weight? If they're happy with the way they look, I tip my hat off to them and yes, I did come across some nasty ones too through previous threads. I won't point no fingers though. It's disgusting what some of our GBP resort to when it comes to insulting our own kind of people. It's not like any of these HM's have said or done anything to any of us personally. I don't see why people feel the need to lower themselves whether they like the HM's or not.

Making fat jokes is not morally wrong, it's just immature. So people need to stop acting like it's a criminal offence

[erinp5]

Wait to you see her hair ,it looks like the perm and set my granny used to get.
I saw the picture on the live tweet feed.

[cheapbbfan]

what weight? She looks great

[MB.]

[Alf]

Are some people really mistaking this thread to be about this years Claire?

It's obviously a thread about Claire from Steps.

[Sophiee]

claire looks so great after her weight loss!
