Default People need to shut up and stop getting so angry if we call housemates boring

We're allowed to make judgements this early (especially considering we're expected to choose whose up for eviction) and it doesn't mean people will hold this opinion forever, so I don't see why it's a problem. Callum is dull now so I will call him dull, but if he turns out amazing then I'll call him amazing.

Agreed. I think Dexter might turn out to be a great character but so far he's been dull too. However, as you said, it's early days yet.

Remember how undull Cardboard Conor turned out to be. They have to be given time.

We were right about Conor, he was dull, but on top of that he was a bully. Anyway I don't get this 'early days' nonsense. Why can't opinions change as the show progresses? What's so important about having one opinion all throughout?

I've no problem with it at all. The point I'm making about Conor is that he turned out to be one of the talking points of the last series. I don't care if people call HM's dull, I don't quite understand it though given they have only been in there for a few days, but you are entitled to call them dull if you want.

Individually most HM's who enter the house are dull. It's when they start bonding and forming groups and friendships/enemies that they start to become interesting.

Opinions can and do change throughout.

I like Hazel right now - some people think she's boring and she may be, and it could change and might not.

The bit in bold says it all. If they expect us to put people up at such an early stage (which is silly) then we have to target those who are boring right now. No point sticking the current entertaining people up because they're more likely to continue being entertaining throughout the series. However, no one knows how the dull people of today will be acting in 5 weeks time.

Just like people need to stop going on about what is and isn't entertaining. Bitching and arguing is great to many, and not so to others. It works both ways.

Salman this thread isn't about being entitled to opinions, not when the title is incredibly rude telling others to shut up for not jumping in with the crowd that insists so and so is dull boring whatever else, it's only a couple of days in and already members opinions are being shunned, laughed at because they don't fit in with the majority, well that's not what a forum is all about.

I Agree, Callam, Daley & Sophie are already labelled as very dull.
It seems that anyone that has been likeable over the first 3 days is labelled dull
