Cherie - I may not agree with all her posts but she’s contributing a lot and not just with spammy posts.

Ray. - I like a lot of his posts and makes me laugh.

Ray. They were a fast fave for their dry wit and commentary when I returned, but I'm not sure I ever had the chance to acknowledge that openly (plus their avatar is *******ing awesome...)
smudgie Between their personality, their wit and their amusingly blunt reactions to some of the HMs have given me plenty of chuckles of recent In off-topic areas as well....

(Am I doing this right?)

Edit: Also thank you @Garfie and @joeysteele It means a lot and reading that I have some positive impact here genuinely helps brighten my day

Thank you all so very much for the acknowledgment. The appreciation is reciprocated towards all of you, believe me.

I haven’t seen any of your posts, Ray, but I’ll certainly be looking out for them after reading your nominations. Always here for a bit of humour!

Vanessa - always lovely to talk to

Lostie - same as the first time, I think we agree on a lot of things.

@Adamw92

…as much as I’d love to take your nomination for Lostie, Adam…as you nominated him last week as well, the same member can’t be voted for two weeks in a row…but you can nominate him again next week …

…if you could amend your nominations post and replace Lostie with another member that would be perfect, thank you…..

…ahhh, so sorry but them rules is rules and they’re quite stubborn old things……it’s just to try to get as many BB posting members in the mix and blend as possible because their are so many and Daniel I’m sure, will appreciate your nomination……(…and Lostie can be voted again on an alternate week…)…

[Mystic Mock]

Congratulations to Niamh and Benjamin, it's well deserved imo.

My nominations for week 2 are:

Dogeatdog - We get along really well, and he has opened up the iconic Cry Me A River Fanclub for Sarah.

Kate - For being brave enough to open up a Marcello fanclub, and has contributed a fair bit to the BB section over the past week.

Garfie - We may not always agree with each other, but I do enjoy reading their posts and thoughts on topics.

[Ammi]

…thank you all, you’re the ones that make it all possible as they say …keep those nominations coming……

[Black Dagger]

Lostie ~ Should have won the first week. Really enjoyed having him back on here.
Kate ~ She always tries really hard to get some engagement even if some of the threads don’t personally interest me.
Ray ~ Don’t think we’ve ever really encountered one another but I appreciate his posts an awful lot.

[jet]

Garfie - her posts are so interesting and well expressed and her analyses of the HM’s are simply a delight to read.
Rustigal - talks straight from the heart with honesty and insight and is practically my twin in the way she thinks.
Zizu - I like his fearlessness and how he always makes an effort to respond to other posters.

Thank you Black Dagger. Those words have made my day, I thrive on a bit of praise, it was lovely to hear I'm valued. I really needed it as I had a traumatic evening yesterday and it meant a lot.

Am I allowed to post in this seeing as I've only been back for less than a week? 3 people have stood out for me. If I can I'll give you my reasons.

I don't believe that there's a rule against you nominating.

Yes, everyone can nominate x

…absolutely, I would love for you to vote this week and all other weeks that you’ve felt that there have been standouts……

[Ammi]

…just a reminder also while I’m in this space…each week 3 different members must be chosen on a following week to the previous one to spread that appreciation around ….

[Mrluvaluva]

Thanks. Here are the reasons for my nominations...

Mystic Mock. Very engaging. Talks a lot of sense. Seems very intellectual. I think we're on the same wavelength most of the time. I like the attitude and impartiality. Honest. Stands by their convictions but isn't afraid to learn about other people's opinions.

Zizu. Very engaging. Also so funny. Tells it like it is. A real down to earth person. I look forward to such posts.

Garfie. What can I say? Very responsive. Love having a conversation with. Has great opinions that I can relate to. An asset to this forum.

Can I go now BB?

[Ammi]

…just to say one thing because Garfie is a very nominated member…(…and understandably so, obviously…)…that she is a ‘she’ not a he…I know that’s not always obvious but she’s a very lovely lady with interesting thoughts…

Sorry I was trying to be careful with my pronouns. I've edited it. Hope I didn't cause any offence. I feel bad now.

…oh no, that wasn’t aimed at you specifically…looking back you’ll see that there are quite a few ‘he’ in relation to Garfie when nominating her…and funnily we had the conversation on the forum last year of her being female …it’s more that I’d been meaning to mention it and as usual, got distracted…and your nomination reminded me …Garfie honestly wouldn’t in any way take offence at all…she’s someone who tends to mainly be a BB season poster so it’s not always obvious either when the topic tends to be only housemate/BB specific…

Divert the conversation so nobody notices. I love Garfie's posts whatever.

We did have that conversation, Ammi, and it was quite amusing from what I recall. However, I don’t believe I admitted to either!
I’m kind of thinking I might prefer my pronoun to be ‘it’, in fact! Basically, because the ‘Is she/isnt he’ appeals to my strange sense of humour, and I like the amount of confusion and debate it creates! Let’s leave it at whatever people imagine I am, or whatever they choose me to be!

But how do you know that, dear Ammi!? I’ve been called more things than I care to mention in my time!

[joeysteele]

Jones89, I really enjoy reading this members posts, always fair and balanced.
A member whose posts on BB are a must read for me.

Mystic Mock, LOVE his posts not unsurprisingly.
The humour he injects into many BB topics are really lifting.

rusticgal, another who makes balanced views on the housemates.
I like her analysis of them too.

[Mrluvaluva]

And I thought I was bad..

[Ammi]

…I’ll do mine now for this week…

Mrluvaluva……because it’s pretty terrific to have him back…he was always one of the members whose thoughts I looked out for and still is…and he’s bad, which is good..

Ray……because he’s always a joy to the forum in general but in the HL thread also, he’s just witty and pretty and bright…

Kate!……because she made the Marcello fan club so obviously needs help but I’ll nominate her instead because I know she’ll get through this phase and come out of it as joyful as ever…
