This year it's Caoimhe, the annoying, boring, bitchy gob****e - again who everyone hated.


I just think it's unfair to have these 2 morons be a representation of the Irish on a show like this because it's not an accurate portrayal of what our country is actually like? It annoys me :P
I liked Spiral bb7..

Orlaith bb6 was okay..

Norin was meh..

Keeva is a piece of sh!te.

I hope Gillian or Maggie from Northern Ireland go in on Friday

I think Seany was the worst of all Irish HMs. His arrogance was unbelievable.

Why do people feel the need to catagorise and label housemates? The world is full of multi-faceted people and stereotyping isn't necessary as more often than not people will not fill all the stereotypical traits. There are plenty of annoying housemates that are not irish or scottish that do not match the traits of their stereotype too.

only because the majority are English, there's usually only one Irish/Scottish/Welsh etc so people seem to think they represent whichever country they're from which of course is silly

Sadly, I feel that some people like their stereotype and try and make themselves fit the profile. This is true of too many housemates I feel.
