My point was that all these posters in this forum hated John James and Josie's guts. They wanted them evicted and never seen again. Could not stand them. I'm not saying you can't do anything. Merely pointing out that spending nearly a whole series of BB whinging about someone ruining the series for you and wanting to see the back of them and then for months after the shows ended you actually check what they're writing on twitter and what they're up to means there is a JJJ fan inside you. Yet back in summer you wanted rid of them.

And to the poster who mentioned something about "as long as they're keeping us updated we'll have fun ripping into them". Well, they're not updating you unless you're intentionally following them so just found that a bit odd.

Didn't say it was wrong, just odd.

Edit - Comparing it to discussing Hitler 65 years on is ridiculous. Massive difference obviously.

Thanks I do try.

Well I can only speak for myself but I have never said I hated them, I've never said I wanted them evicted, like them or dislike them they played their part in the Big Brother Soap Opera, I also did not spend the whole of the summer whinging about them, I had far better things to do with my time. I can also assure you that I neither have the desire to or have ever checked out anything they've said on Twitter. You might want to get your facts straight before making sweeping statements about forum members.

What I have done is give my opinion on whether I think the Romance between them is real or fake as the title of this thread suggested. I don't take it seriously because to be honest I couldn't give a flying ***** if their real or not, its not going to affect my life one bit. I do however like to have some banter and discussion with both like minded souls and others who disagree with my view as long as its constructive and good natured.

I respect your opinion and of course your entitled to it, I would however disagree that its odd for people to talk or vent about something that they dislike or disagree with, surely thats human nature? Come on admit it even you must like a good old moan about something thats peed you off now and again

The point of the Hitler reference was that we don't always only talk about people/things that we like.
I didn't spend the entire summer giving out about them or wanting them evicted, either. I thought they were the best pish taking fodder I've come across in a long, long time. I don't actively seek information on them, but when you hang out in discussion forums, the information has a way of falling into your lap

But, as I said in an earlier post, talking about Hitler is a bit more than talking about something you don't like. I'd hardly call JJJ on TV for 12 weeks in the summer of 2010 a world changing, memorable moment in human history lol. Would you?

I think it's hilarious that people think this is a 'romance'. Even funnier that some think it will last.

JJ will be out of the UK when their 6mth contract is up. Note: JJ. Not JJJ!

Tie me Kangeroo down sport, tie me Kangeroo downShe could always try holding him against his will, but then there will be the final bit of cash to be made for the split up story....and ' Ow Johnnie James broke me heart'
Thats about it for her then, consigned to the BB wastelands along with all the other has beens.

[Frillynix]

Ah sweet jaysus folks how wonderful it is to be in here today.

Ive been away at my daughters wedding in Las Vegas (met a thousand Elvises, never seen so many ugly ones!!)

Back last week and made the mistake of getting myself embroiled in the debate in the "other place"

Over here now for a bit of light relief!

Is it just me - someone answer me honestly - or some folk over there get REALLY irate when you have a wee joke about the gruesome twosome - I mean there are times that you would think its THEM you have made negative remarks about the way its taken so seriously............and its putting me right off posting - I think I'll stay here for a while till the heat dies down over there

[The Human Santapede]

Hey Raggle

I have no idea why your acount was deleted, will look into it now for you.

[fruit_cake]

The other place would be Digital Spy. Raggle I can't understand why u couldn't register, I had no problem when I first joined. However I would say that the T&C on the site are not quite as accommodating as those on here. Hope u can join us soon

[Raggle]

Ooooh that would be wonderful ukturtle, thank you very much! EDIT: If you manage to find out, could you PM me on here instead of putting it in the thread, I fear I have already hijacked this enough Many thanks.

fruit_cake, it's another forum where Big Brother is discussed

[Raggle]

Thanks POTS, yours are some of those posts I thoroughly enjoy reading and find myself nodding to with enthusiasm so it's lovely to finally have the opportunity to address you directly

I would love to join you all soon! I had mis-read their message a bit as I noticed since last posting that it said that they were deleting my "Registration" as I failed to meet their T & C's (without telling me why).

Although here seems rather good too, just not as busy. Let's poach people and bring them all here :P

Why thank you TBH both sides make some valid points but some do take it all a bit too personally. It is afterall suppossed to be lighthearted thread.

I don't know if you've been over today but we've started a whole new thread (Part 2 of the court case). Some interesting debates going on about JJ's hypocrisy in regards to Rachel and her entering the BB house for the sole purpose of mag deals when the first thing he did upon leaving the house was let em pencil in some crap looking Abs and pose half naked for OK magazine! Go figure.

I had seen that it went on to part 2! Well done and all that jazz I have to say you've all had me in stitches this morning. That revised JJ poster was a particular favourite hehehe

There still seem to be instances of people taking it rather seriously though. I mean, the thread is hilarious for the most part with both JJJ fans and doubters providing the comedy value yet there still seem to be people who seem rather too sensitive about what total strangers on an internet forum think of their heroes.

It baffles me a little!

[Frillynix]

It baffles me a LOT

Had to put someone on ignore for the first time ever on there. The snide remarks and digs were getting too much and I didnt want to rise to it.

The hilarious thing is that peeps are now quoting this poster so Im having to read what she posted anyways

I seriously cant get my head round WHY its so important for us to have to "believe its real" - why folk keep posting clips saying they prove something - also PERSPECTIVE is required, you would think they were the second coming and I was being blasphemous in not believing in them, rather than two wannabees on a tellyshow!

Excellent post. This is a BB11 forum and any housemate who wants to remain in the public eye can be discussed

Yes, I've just seen that Frillynix and I don't blame you really. One of the disadvantages to not being able to log-in is not being able to hide particular people's posts so I can only imagine your frustration at having to see them anyway. It all seemed rather angry and "baity" to me. Not a real word but you catch my drift!

I'm not sure why it's so important. I was accused by a friend of having had my head turned by "That poisonous forum". That was when I felt the need to explain that I'm a 32 year old woman who is more than capable of making my own mind up about people!

Nothing about them rang true for me after the newcomers came in the house. Before then I believed most of what I saw but even then, something just didn't seem to ring true for me, I guess a part of me wanted to believe but ultimately I just couldn't.

The media farce which has ensued only cements the opinion I had of them both before they each left the house. I will add my voice to the people stating that if BB expect us to believe that JJ1 just so HAPPENED to be there when Josie walked then they really are taking the piddle!

Oh I certainly know what you mean by "baity"

I dont give a stuff whats debated - if I really like a celeb and see bad stuff about them, I get a little self righteous, then think argh well its not affecting me personally - they are in the public and up for both good and bad said about them.

Its when I gave an honest view that I had looked at them clips they had put forward as "evidence" and didnt see chemistry between them, I was then told I was "not being honest"..........sorry but thats my line, thats where it aint funny any more! Its two wannabees on a tellyshow - and if someone has to get personally abusive to another FM over it, they need their bloomin head felt!
