..anyway, my opinion still stands...posters and members post their opinions and thoughts on housemates who have put themselves up to be 'judged' so that's what we all do and enjoy doing and always have done...I find it very sad personally that I have seen so many interesting members being 'put off' from posting their thoughts on housemates because of personal comments to themselves for doing so...I don't know why this has been allowed or seen to be allowed so frequently, that saddens me as well but as it has, then my opinion is obviously here in the 'minority' as well ....

Well said Ammi.
Very off putting to say the least.

I think james was great for the show!

we are seeing a new more intense in your face celeb series that is mirroring the normal series.
james was a full on in your face housemate, despite how much people knock him on here!, he still came third!.

viewers want to see conflict and so does big brother, without james this year there would not be a lot to talk about.

He needs to learn a massive amount as to how to talk 'to' and deal with people,especially people who are a little more vulnerable too.

His constant talking 'at' people comes across really badly and how ungracious he was as to Gary personally in his defeat,I found his interviews on leaving the house really bad,only surpassed by the awful Dee's interviews.

Two truly rotten bedmates for me those 2.
It is for me, just a pity he and Dee weren't shoved out as the first 2 out last night, Dee certainly didn't warrant a top placing and for sure neither did he at all for me.

I agree,I think the fact that Gary and Audley were always so calm really wound up alot of those highly strung egos in there.They very rarely got the reactions they wanted.I do this at home to my misses sometimes when she pee'd off and laying in to me,I just laugh and it gets her soo angry!I am a fairly calm person and it takes alot to get me mad.Same with those two,Especially Audley.

Like attracts like, Gary and Audley on the spiritual vein and the calmness of understanding, trying to work out peaceful solutions.

The rest with the exception of Frenchy eventually Lauren, have their own issues and it makes them feel better to down someone else. As they are making others look small it takes the pressure off of their own faults, it makes them feel oh so big!

Twat to the very end. I hate James with a passion. He tried to jusify his actions by saying he was joking. Yeah, right. Tool!
