I agree it is all an act they have worked out what keeps people in the house and they are strong enough to carry it off. Twins are unusual in they are the closer than the closest friends. They don't need any of the other housemates emotional support they have there own.
I think the twins aren't that intelligent to start with but exaggerate their personalities somewhat.

Others do it too, Jonty, Brian- you can't tell me that's all for real...
arent that intelligent? have you been through primary secondary high school done your gcse's got into university.....coz it aint that easy! you cant have 3 brain cells to get in!
Now , now , they have 4 I believe.

They can't be that unintelligent they are training to be social workers.
They aren't that unintelligent, that's what I was saying- still social work relies more on empathy and understanding than actual intelligence and the twins have that.

These days you need more than empathy and understanding, you have there is loads of paper work, meetings and analytical skills. The twins are a massive double act.

Vote them out.

I got into uni and I'm pretty stupid...

Just because they are a bit dippy, doesn't mean they couldn't get ok grades- a lot of girls like that just study harder, I've met similar people. I don’t think social work is known as something that is particularly hard to get into and they haven’t passed yet so don’t hold your breath!

Now if they were doing psychology or medicine, I’d be worried…

Right on!!!!


Agreed. Smartness is not judged on a bunch of bloody test papers with rubbish they feed to you in textbooks. I know some dipsy-as-daisy-daylight girls who kick my arse academically , but their about as imaginative or creative as a wet sponge on the head of a very silly monkey.

I said the hate the twins movement was happening, but did you believe me?

Noooooo


Now can we get some facts straight here?

First of all, from how I understand their profiles they have only just started the course or at least admitted to the course. They also seemed to admit to struggling academically.

Now here is where I get hate mail

But this is for Social work

Not Physics, not Maths, not Engineering, not Chemistry, not Medicine.

In an era where they offer degrees in golf course management, one has to wonder why universities, like my Alma Mata are closing the Physics department to put on Micky Mouse courses. (I suspect somewhere is offering a degree in Mickey Mouse)

Someone has been overstating their intelligence in order to make character assassinations here.

Back to the facts

It was C4 that put them in as twins, remember, so if you have a problem with twins being in there take it up with Channel 4

The twins to their credit did raise this issue of were they one or separate on Day 2, Channel 4 kept them hanging around for 11 weeks.

Big Brother effectively told them they were up, or at least one of them was up, how fair was that?

Even some of the newbies nominated other newbies, why are they not criticised.

Big Brother could have granted immunity, like they have done with newbies in the past, but chose not to, why?


From the get go this has seemed like an attempt to remove them, so a chosen one could have a clear field.

C4 has done this before and people forget.

What ever their merits, by voting them out, you play C4's cynical game and help them rig a contest that purports to be a fair one.

Now I have gone on record as saying I would prefer they either went out in a genuine double eviction or were there to the end, with preferably someone else winning.

I am not exactly a raving Twin's fan, but I do find their treatment here has been totally under hand, but knowing C4's record, not totally unexpected

That might be the case but it's not certain..... However if they do stay they are almost certain to win.

Look at the front page poll.

And the show becomes boring since the game show part of the show is over and it won't even worth for voting in the final.

Great viewing that will make on the final night. It will just be like BB7 all over again.

I guess they can always take their clothes off together to make a few ponds unlike the other boring winners of the show.

The characters aren't the same as in BB7, with the twins and Brian it will be great to watch it and not like in BB7 where Pete and Nikki were absolutely pathetic and mentals ! It's going to rock on week 13 !

I was of course reffering to Amy. Barring the fact that she found a scientific way to split herself in two ,

Sorry thought you were talking about the twins.

But given the success of the winners in recent years it is one way they could make some money out of the show before they disappear into Big Brother Obscurity.

What's so entertaining about kara? Why is Jonty entertaining? It's all just opinion.

I think the twins are more entertaining than the others that are up.

Amy's pretty dull really.
