I must admit i didn't want her to go in, i found her just a big act right from the start. To say i 'hate' her is a bit harsh though. I just find her repusive to watch. Not because she's large but because the only thing she has lived up to is the fact that she would eat you if you didn't move. I dont see the sense of humour she promised, i just see another wannabe who promised outragious, funliving, highspirits and has turned into a damp squib and a bit of a bitch. A big yawn really

Becky shouts everyone down and revels in sounding stupid, it appears to be her 'thang'.

Becky was all over Deana like a rash but decided to give her space when her usefulness had expired. From what we can tell, that space appears to be infinite and never-ending.

Becky wound Chris up for fun. He was (is) a **** and a pain in the arse but the way Caroline and Becky reacted to him did not portray them in a positive light.

Becky has pished off Adam, Luke A and several of the other, apparently more mature and level-headed of the housemates. They've seen a great deal more of her than we have.

Becky has a painfully obvious diary room persona - wide eyes, gormless smile, exaggerated accent, fun-loving, food-loving girl next door.

Becky has yet to be involved in a conversation or exchange that was shown in the highlights that demonstrated anything amusing or likeable to me.

My opinion, of course.

Or a modicum of intelligence

Adam is a bit of a chub, and most people like him.

I liked Alison but cannot remember if she was popular on here or not.

I really liked Alison too - wasn't on here at the time, though. I think it's ridiculous to suggest that people don't like Becky because of her weight.

Almost as ridiculous as the supposition that we should like her because of it - even in the face of a fairly unpleasant personality.

I totally agree. I can find no redeeming features about her. She's just thoroughly unpleasant. Nothing to do with her size, she just portrays herself as thoroughly unpleasant.

Alison is one of my all time fave HM

Well it's clear she's over thinking a lot of things she says and the way she says it... much of her behavior is appearing premeditated... even down to her "Hey Big" approach to the diary room... Which is fine, why not... but comes across as abundently fake to me...

Bugger all to with her weight...

Yes, but there were still plenty of threads that weren't "I hate XXX threads", and some people liked her.

Also, I think the new Facebook pricing has killed the accuracy of forum / website polls. The casual viewer is now back in control.

I agree that the new pricing shifts power back more towards casual viewers, but there were times before Facebook voting when the forum's polls were right about most evictions. BBs 9 and 10 might be examples.

Of course, the forum's often wrong too.

[headaball]

The new Josie. Not quite as bad yet though.

[gold fire 201]

The reason i think as chris said you can see throught her like glass.

Its all a act from the start and shes got a sly/nasty side that she trys to hide it but it has slipped out a bit.

Only on DS could Becky's entrance be considered rubbish. She was excited and it was HYSTERICAL...

It'll go down as the best entrance to the house ever!

Sadly people are judged because of their weight - there are plenty of posts that begin 'fat' 'ugly' 'greedy' etc., etc.

Just the same as some people cannot seem to see past good looks in some housemates.

I really can't think of anything that Becky has done that is any worse that what most of the other of the women in there have done. Often what comes across as two-faced is not that at all, but rather wanting to fit in and wanting to please everyone.

As for what happened with Deana, she was on a task and didn't really have much choice - what is Lydia's reason?

I think if a HM is a likeable but overweight person, their weight would be overlooked, but if their personality lacks charm, weight will be one of the sticks used to beat them with.

Becky seems like a caricature. A lot of her way of being in the house seems affected and studied, and we can see through that and don't like it. She's trying too hard to be OTT and a bit edgy. Maybe she's always like that, has found that it works for her, but under the spotlight of BB, it doesn't seem to be a good strategy.

But she does herself no favors with the weight thing when she herself makes a point in letting everyone know how much she likes to eat TBH I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't like to gain weight on purpose just to get the attention whether it's good and or bad.

As said with Deana it wasn't so much she did it it was the fact she loved what she did and was so happy over the fact she had hurt someone.

I wish people wouldn't reference her weight at all - there's no need, because I find her personality so objectionable. I think she's incredibly false and forced and I really don't like the 'Hiya Big' moronic Diary Room thang.

What inevitable happens, though, is that people are accused of judging people on their weight/looks when they don't/do like their personalities. Of course it plays a part, but if Becky looked like Sara I'd equally dislike her (in fact, potentially more so).

I don't think she's a people pleaser at all, to be honest. She couldn't give two figs about Deana once the task was over and was very openly contemptuous of Chris. Fair enough, he was a little pain in the aras, but he's also a few sandwiches short of a decent picnic and most people make allowances in those circumstances.

Again, I see your point, it does happen; unfortunately. It's a distraction from the unpleasant personality. She is a caricature and inordinately fake and forced.

Equally, I don't think it' working. She seems to have irritated a great many people in the house. It remains to be seen how the viewers have taken to her; this viewer is bordering on allergic already.

It was about as spontaneous and hysterical as Pete falling down the stairs and Anthony's little dance. Nothing to do with excitement, it was pre-planned and staged, she was calm and collected when she was in the diary room and walked along the corridor with her shoes in her hand.

Just had an awful thought Pete and Anthony went on to win!

not for me it won't. I sat there wondering why the hell she was doing it. And as someone said to already have her shoes in her hands ready to run around and then jump in the pool? I hate screaming for the sake of screaming - just why?

BIB -It's not Becky that has a problem with her weight though is it? I was talking about people on here who insist on using terms 'fat' 'greedy' 'ugly' etc., when those words add nothing whatsoever to the point being made.

I don't hear people going on about 'skinny' people in the same way, yet over the years there have been housemates that were very thin.

Becky loves her food and is not ashamed to say so, Lauren also said that food and eating was her favourite thing in the world - why is no-one picking up on that?

Well now that's fairly obvious. I love my food too, and say so regularly. But I'm a healthy weight. I eat in moderation. Wanting to eat 12 big macs in 20 seconds is not liking your food. That's just liking eating. Spending two hours on home-made soup is liking your food.

Or maybe that's her sense of humour? Do you really think that she wanted to eat 12 big macs in 20 seconds? I have been known to say that I want to put my head in a bucket of Ben and Jerrys but faced with the bucket I probably wouldn't do it.

As for the home made soup, I like that as well and often do make it, I couldn't say it excited me though, not like some other foods do.

BIB 2: Is it not now the same price more or less as a phone vote?

But it's Becky who likes to focus on her weight there is one thing joking about it and another making it your gimmick I don't give a fig about her weight but she just does herself no favors when she herself makes such a point of it.

I agree with the fat and ugly comments but not greedy when she herself makes a point of letting you know she's greedy and been proud over it.
