The plain overweight woman who had a go at Sam on BBBM, because he had said something about her weight. Why are a lot of her fans fat and plain? I don't want to offend anyone but I couldn't help but notice that her fans could be seen as females who don't like attractive women. Just like Josie doesn't like them either.

'I don't want to offend anyone',

I think you just did..subtly your forte.
Women like women that can laugh at themselves and have a sense of humour, personally I prefer women who don't automatically think that because they think are attractive men are going to fall at their knees, its pathetic. Josie has something about her, yes she comfort eats and that is an issue she needs to address but I prefer a woman to be a woman and not starve themselves to stick and bones. I am a healthy looking woman and I am far from being plain and I like Josie.

OP - As you obviously did not read the Forum Announcement at the top of the page, here's what it says

"Just a quick reminder, insulting fans of housemates will not be tolerated. It is fine to insult the housemates themselves within reason, but to insult fans is not. Remember, everyone has different tastes/reasons to like anyone, and respect that. Thank you"

Hmmmm i disagree! I am not a fan of josie nor am i fat you only have to look at my pic to see! Its nothing to do with thin plain fat or over done! Its about personality! For me it is anyway, i never ever like or dislike because of how someone looks, i just happen to have gone off josie after she hooked up with jj1 and her treatment of keeva whom i disliked immensely

'Why are a lot of her fans fat and plain?'

Because they can look to her for support as she isn't your run of the mill stick insect and 'normal' women like that. There aren't many ambassadors out there for the 'normal' sized woman!
I don't want Josie to win but I do think people are a bit harsh saying she is really fat, she's only a size 18 and when the national average size is 14, she aint far off.

Insulting fans of housemates, hmmm...?

How long before this thread is locked? I'm going for seven minutes...

Now, I am a huge fan but am not overweight and I dont think plain either, but I am probably older than a lot on here and maturity and experience has enabled me to look past certain issues in life, like people who are bigger, ugly, colour etc. I have made some wonderful friends of all shapes and sizes and colour but personality is the main thing I go for .

That is why I was careful with my wording and said that (it could be said)

I like her but I'm not overweight LOL. What a stupid thing to say.

Im sorry. The lady on BBBM who vicsiously attacked Sam was very pretty and very slim, I think my telly was on the blinker. I apologise for getting it wrong.
