You can't be nice but you can't bitch about people either...

Something I heard Dexter say about Callum on BOTS last night got me thinking about how housemates should behave in the house without attracting criticism...
Dexter said that Callum is nice to everyone - he said this was a bad thing and that he was 'playing the game'. Dan has also brought this up in his chats with Hazel so it's not just Dexter who thinks this.
Conversely Dan tends to bitch a fair bit about other housemates and gets stick from a lot of people on here and other people in the house.
So what strategy does somebody have to adopt when going into the house to avoid criticism? They can't be nice because they're playing a game and they can't be honest because they're a bitch. Is it even worse this year because of all the paranoia?

Dan has made a conscious decision not to sit on the fence. I actually respect him for this.
There's no sure-fire strategy for avoiding criticism. Even keeping your head down gets you labelled "drift wood" and "radar dodger", and rightly so.
It was on live feed.
I liked Sophie up to that point but she seemed to be relishing the bitching a little bit too much. And as for Wolfy she was practicall salivating. I've never seen her so animated:D
I loved that part where Dexter explained he was doing this because he wanted to give everyone a "present" before he left.:D Hope he goes around and gives everyone a present like that... it'd be like an early Christmas.
But most behind the back bitching is just hm's way of saying who they're nominating without saying the word 'nomination' and i'd like 3 different hm's up for eviction next week, but i can't see that happening.
I doubt it was a "decision" as such, more like he had no choice in the matter as he can't keep his gob shut, lol.
I think humour is a good way to go in the popularity stakes, and standing up for yourself but not in an aggressive manner. A calm disposition helps a lot too.
Yes that's true. I think there might be a bit of a change in noms next week though. Pretty sure Charlie will be up and possibly Wolfie. Probably whoever stays tonight will be up as well although Gina did earn some points by doing that disgusting task so you might get your wish;)
Oops - forgot Gina has been saved:D In which case I would say whoever stays tonight will be up next week.
I loved it and they were right what they were saying.:cool:
I don't agree but hey ho that's what the forum is all about:D
I didn't like the bit where Wolfy was re-hashing the Hazel/Charlie saga. Sophie apparently knew nothing about it and Hazel and Charlie had sorted it out and put it to bed. No need for Wolfy to drag it all up again. To me, that was backstabbing.
