Tonight was the best example so far that Speidi treat this as a gameshow

Tonight was masterful, they're trolling the other all so serious and boring hms with their antics. At exactly the right moments Speidi can be ultra serious or laugh when the time calls for it.

They are versatile and can use mindgames("we want to win") or also use flattery against their rivals ("rylan you have so much support out there"). It's just so fun watching them run rings around the other hms. None of them can figure them out, which is an advantage and infact all getting quite wound up by them.

Now of course thats not to say they will win because parts of the audience aren't gonna get it but for those that do and like that sort of thing its been a very good watch!

    Exactly right.

    They're masterful at keeping the others on the backfoot all the time. So good to watch :D

    I find it boring now, the same old script over and over again.

    Tonight ep was so funny.
    The other housemates were either worrying (the girls) or sucking up after getting caught cheating (Ryan/Razor) ... and Spiedi were just laughing at them and partying like it's 1999 :D
    Trolling at it's finest !!!

    I agree they are playing a game, and are very good at it but imagine a football match where only one side turns up to play....... And that one side Actually decides to kick off and play the game:confused:. It kind of feels like that to me. And i don't think their trying to win the game but get red carded. Pet peeve of mine, can't stand hm's wanting to leave but staying only for the dosh. A few arguments does not a good housemate, make.

    The way I see it is:
    Reality = real people in real situations.
    Scripted Reality = crap.
    Reality Gameshow = something with votes and a winner.

    Sorry - Trolling at it's most unimaginative, obvious and dull. Zero entertainment as far as I'm concerned. it seemed to me that most of the housemates can't even be bothered to engage with the tripe they spout.

    And it is hardly rocket science to realise it is a gameshow. BB contestants have been pointing that out since BB2

    I think they're brilliant. They make no bones about the fact and are quite open to the other housemates about seeing it as a game and are honest about employing tactics to win. This is frying the brains of 'trying to be humble, look what a nice person I am' housemates, because this has not happened before. You are supposed to compete 'honestly by being 'dishonest' about what your real tactics are, i.e. with this lot it's about being all nicey nicey to each othr to avoid eviction and not to reveal what they REALLY think at all costs.. :yawn: They can't even accuse them of playing a game (the usual tactic they employ to try to get people thrown out) because Speidi admit they are playing a game.

    So their lame excuse and the only one left to them is that they are 'scared' of them..:rolleyes:. Scared? Speidi are so laid back they're almost horiontal. :pNo mention of Razor's behaviour of course..threatening to thump Spencer and calling him a c**t. No judgement there of course because he's part of their clique. Pathetic...

    Oh right, I thought it was the following year. The first lot seemed to take noms very seriously, Still - if you say so. Anyway, I hardly think Speidi win prizes for insight and originality. Some subtlety would be far more interesting.

    Popularity Contest, Not a Gameshow imo.

    On the basis that most of them are in their just trying to be themselves.

    There is nothing versatile about them, as for using mindgames, forget it. This crap they spew about 'we want to win', then saying the want to be evicted, all they are doing is covering themselves from all angles. Once evicted, they will sprout that this is what they wanted and the 'we will win' comments were to make the public hate them. They are not clever enough to play mindgames, they are to wrapped up in themselves. The worrying thing about these two is they have no friends, she lost all her's when she took up with him, he never had any, says alot about them and it is'nt good.

    Completely agree. Their 'clever tactics' seem 1 dimensional to me.

    We know they are treating it as a gameshow, that is what they do. It is how they go about it that is horrible. Previous housemates who were open about it, i.e. Victor and Jason were disliked for it and they were angels compared to this vile pair. I don't find their constant nastiness entertaining. I'm all for the drama but for gods sake, they are just boring now.

    18 nominations out of 18 implies they're not playing the other housemates very well.
