How do you think you will do on first impressions when BB8 starts? are you the sort of person who ends up being right about a housemate or do you usually judge them pretty badly?

[Polka.dot]

i'd say 50/50 but its also caz some hms prefer to stay closed up until later on e.g. glyn .

[chazwwe]

yeh 50/50

[Ruth*Star]

It depends on the type of housemates

[~Kizwiz~]

I am generally good on susssing the housemates. But I try and keep an open mind until I get to know the charaters more

[GlitterEyes]

I think you can tell a fair bit from first impressions if the people in question act like an idiot...lol but then there is room for them to change over time and grow on you.

[Matt08]

I usually like all of them to start with and then a few days in I usually decide which housemates I like/don't like.

[MarkWaldorf]

I don't really like many of the housemates when it starts, but I grow to like more throughout.

[BigSister]

I usually stick with the housemates that i like on launch night

[Captain.Remy]

I like them at the start, I pick my favourite and normally I'm not so wrong, for BB5 it was Nadia, BB6 it was Makosi and BB7 it was Imogen !

[J.C.]

I usually find it quite easy to see who the top 4/5 might be and sometimes a likely winner. But of course first impressions are still very deceptive. Anouska springs to mind ,she blew it big time in the first impression stakes.lol

[Spike]

I'm usually very good on judging the housemates on first impressions. I know who i will like and who i wont like and it turns out to be correct.

[Arneldo]

I'd like to think I'm open minded but i usually judge them very quickly.

[cepb]

50/50

[Glenn.]

When they all go in and im watching live i absolutly HATE them! Someone has to be really different on first approach for me to like them straight away.

[~SAMZ~]

I normally judge them badly first hand and then i'm too stubborn to change my mind.

[Sam]

Im usually very good at predicting which housemates i dont like and which housemates i like but sometimes its hard as they lie in their audiition tapes to make them sound better

[Bells]

I'm rubbish when it comes to first impressions, lol - however, what I do do is pick some I like and then I tend to have a soft spot for them and defend them, which can either be a good or a bad thing. But as for impressions, they build up and gradually change as the series goes on for certain HMs, as their true colours begin to show in some cases.

[Chrizzle]

I give everyone a chance on launch night. I like everyone.
Then as the show goes on, I start to like certain ones more, and dislike certain ones more

[James_15]

Well, Last year i disliked Pete from the beginning and did to the end.
But i hate nikki at the start but then loved her.

[SnoringBear]

I can usually tell right away who I like and don't like and it usually stays that way all the way to the end.
Have fun everybody!

[the_chosen_one]

Im looking forward to seeing them but im not looking to hate anyone or love anyone as soon as possible, im just waiting for some fun.

[Sunny_01]

I tend to try and not make instant decisions about HMs - I usually have hunches about them but try to give them all a chance to settle into house life before deciding if I like them or not

But you probably get a fair idea of who is likely to to do well. Some HM's do create a naturally good first impression or give off good Karma lol

[Sunny_01]

yeah you are right J.C sometimes it is hard not to make snap judgements - some also give off instant bad karma lol
