Spot on for me is your comment.Well said.
I am convinced they watch very little of the show too really.

I doubt they spend their days watch CBB so prob just watch tiny bits of footage.

Since Lauren is BOTS' chosen one this time around, if they want repeat appearances then they have to toe the BOTS party line.

Why do psychologists talk crap ... Please give some examples of this before you start a thread alleging this. What are your reasons for saying this ?

Are you qualified to challenge their professional views ??

are you having a giraffe? this twat was telling big ron he should treat footballers like you treat housemates i.e with no respect, pretty much verbally abuse them and youd do well? big ron has been at the top of professional football for 40 years and shes telling him his? her advice was of course utter drivel. maybe she should try football management? she wouldn't get a mop job at Accrington Stanley....waste of an education

You do make a valid point. A person without any qualifications can see that something is wrong. This information has been passed down to us through generations. We should never underestimate the value of instinct.
The housemates have been deemed by psychologists fit to appear on this show. Some of them are obviously not fitted to be in that environment.

I'm not sure they are evaluated now, they can't be...I thought that was a channel 4 thing? This lot don't give a toss about psychological wellbeing.

The problem is the people with the "qualifications" are being paid by BB! If they had psychologists on giving an unbiased opinion,then you might have some degree of respect for them!?!

Succinctly and accurately put ! (yet again)

Bet they love C5 though.

I'm starting to wonder if Emma's outward affection for Judy James is to make up for Judy's obvious lack of razzmatazz, showbiz appeal and youthful looks.

i.e. so people with an attention span less than a fly don't get bored simply because Emma says so.

I mean...
Even the old duffer is quite entertaining when he dances...

Take the rest they've either got a "funky" name, can jump about or look half attractive.

That's not a like for like comparison.

You can have an opinion, but thinking someone else talks "complete crap" purely because they have a different opinion/perspective to you is ridiculous.

As though you are completely right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

That's a bit different to psychology though - which with all due respect to psychologists is never an exact science. At best they can be incredibly helpful and even life changing to bounce ideas off, talk with and get to the root of issues. At worse they get rich off listening half heatedly and dispensing some routine advice at the end of it.

Some of them are compassionate, intelligent people. Some should be out under the tend with the palm readers and jugglers. It is not an exact science and asking someone are they 'qualified' to go up against a TV psychologists opinions is ridiculous.

It's not like you're telling a qualified surgeon how to make an incision. You're simply having an opinion ... on someones opinion about somebody. Whilst coming at it from the perspective of "but he doesn't like my favorite housemate!" is certainly dubious if that is indeed the case - nevertheless let's stop pretending it's some mad ass leap of faith to disagree or have an opinion on Channel 5's crack team of mind probes. They've taken a job with the same producers who allowed Lauren Harries in a TV house. I doubt their sense of professional ethic is particularly arousing.

I hate Judi James, but i love Pam. She's so nice and always makes interesting comments. Now she would make a great housemates. I find her very sweet.
