I can't understand what all this class warfare is about. It seems that a lot of people have taken a dislike to Joel because he is interesed in politics and even worse supports the Tories!
Well I'm not happy that they won the election but I don't go around forming my views about someone by first asking what political party they support. And then assigning them with aĺl the negative attributes that I associate with a party I'm not keen on.
All the descriptions of him being slimy, smug, manipulative etc are very harsh. To my mind a lot of those views can be said of most of the housemates at some time or another.
I think a llot of people distrust Joel because he is defintely not your typical teenager - he seems to have been born old or just out of his time. But then the little boy in him escapes and it's a sight to behold. Love, love, love that he's into ABBA, can do a **** drop with the best of them, is not afraid to let out a girly scream, but is interested in other people and can hold an intelligent conversation.
in a sea of mock stupidity (or actual in the case of Danny) Joel is breath of fresh air!
So Joel for the win or at least in the top three along with Nick or (ducks first) Jack as although a moaner and a bit bitchy has been interesting and insightful at times.

If you'd said, "Hands up if you dislike Joel because he wants to be a politician" then it would probably make more sense to me. But even then, it's his life he can do what he wants.
I don't think there's anything more admirable about being a Labour or Lib Dem or UKIP supporter, than being a Tory supporter. Just my opinion.
Now hands up if you like Joel because he's a Tory.
I dislike him because he has no personality whatsoever & isn't remotely interesting. His questioning other housemates to make them look bad are certainly not endearing & his 'performing' how he believes the public want to see him is so annoying!
I could go on for hours about how stupid this country was to vote them in, but have had my political moan in the early weeks and this is a BB forum.
He is only young, hopefully he will switch as they won't be in next time.
Joel to win
...or Jack
Questioning other housemates to make them look bad? Surely it is up to the other housemate and their response as to whether they will look bad or whatever.
For me Joel justs like debating with others and I enjoy that side of him as he asks the questions that I want answering. And more importantly he doesn't accept nonsense answers and will probe the others. This is what I watch BB for. It's is to find out about the housemates and their motivations and not for silly tasks where they get dunked in fish guts.
I think it's because his heart seems to be in the right place even if his political leanings are a bit off the mark.
Democracy for the win!
Isnt that the same?;-)
Same here, he is pompous and has a very high opinion of himself, which can go hand in hand with wanting to be a politician. I don't vote Tory therefore why would I vote for someone claiming to want to represent them. Plus he obviously can't let it go that Jack choose to take the £24 k. Joel thinks he will win and wanted it all!
My reasons too
Remember Joel isn't in for the money lol as if
Agree.
I think being a UKIP member would be even worse for most people.
I couldn't give a rats ass what politics he stupidly decides to devote his life to. I dislike him because he is a comes accross as a smug, self righteous and superior individual. I have disliked him all the way through, he has done nothing to change my mind. Moreover, the new cabaret, all singing and dancing Joel has only exacerbated my dislike for him.
If by stating MY opionons on him are perceived by you and his other supporstes as insulting, so be it. It is me giving my valid opinion on a BB housemate and calling out the traits I find deeply diselikeable in him. Every person on this forum will have a particular person they will like or dislike and post their opinions accordingly.
It's churlish to insult the forum members for being insulting when all we . well I am doing is stating my opinion. You do it too connor.
