Why so concerned over the booing?

The type of person who boos is pretty low human life-form.
Therefore why should we or the HMs be bothered about this baying mob behaviour ? Any more than kitten should worry about Russell Brand's scumbag personality on EFORUM.
Now if decent,nice people were to boo you..start worrying. But THEY don't.
Vanessa,Adele,Tim..the list goes on.Whatever your faults, there are scores of low-lifes at Elstree on a Friday night who are far worse.
I can only wish on them that on their way home they bump into some English Football Fans who might educate them further in the art of sick behaviour.

A violent, bullying, snobby, manipulative, arrogant, spiteful, selfish, self-obsessed, fame-hungry individual got the welcome from the crowd that she herself had earned.

I am no great fan of most of the so-called kiddies in the House, but it is clear that the four together have many fans. In the next few weeks we can expect these fans to deliver a terrible revenge on all those that THEY believe were responsible for 'fight night' and the injustices that followed it.

Vanessa was the first to pay the price. To be fair it should have been Big Brother & Endemol but I am not, on this occasion, going to argue with the crowd. I just don't like Vanessa so I don't care what sort of post-BB reception she receives.

Victor made things a whole lot worse for himself last night with all the big talk about spitting on the first person he see when he comes out of the house, calling the public all sorts of names for booing, going on about how they have given up being with family freinds etc, giving up a life on the outside just to entertain us well when big head comes out hopefully next week, he will be the one getting the biggest boos ever.

get a grip, theres nothing wrong with booing, its pantomime, its showbiz, weve all seen it in previous series evictions.

When you apply for this show you sign up to face the approval or disapproval of the public on your own personal eviction night.

Its part of the game, and the game isint over untill your 15 minutes is up.


Personally i like to see a negative reaction from the crowd its much more entertaining than blanket cheering.

And lets face it, making sure that i am entertained is what's most important.

To even audition to be a HM on BB, you would need to crave fame or recognition in some way. Every HM being evicted, who thinks they've played the game well (as Vanessa clearly thought she had) is going to be horrified by this setback in their perception of a 'career' to come. Being inside, listening to the crowd baying for the blood of a fellow housemate must be chilling for their fellow fame-seekers!

I'm really interested to see how the crowd react to Ahmed, and how he reacts to them. He's perhaps the hardest to get to the bottom of, and bizarrely for a chap who does nothing and says little, is the most interesting housemate for a good few series.

It's a long time since I last disagreed with you zz but, on this occasion, I do.

A little pantomine-like booing from an excited BB eviction night crowd can hardly be put in the same category as violent thuggery.

It is a tv game show!!!

Whether you like each housemate or not, they have evoked emotions in each of us, good or bad. Do they deserve to be booed? In my opinion 'NO'

It just makes me cringe with embarassment went I hear it.

I am not certain, but aren't the eviction shows repeated?

Vanessa signed on the dotted line. She was warned of the possible penalties of accepting a place in the BB house. But, just like all those other 'Z' list celebrity wannabees, she went ahead with this once in a lifetime money-making opportunity. Why should I feel sorry for her?

I accept that the booing is part of the pantomime, but surely it should be proportional to the size of the villain?

I thought Vanessa was alright, she came across as a bit over-confident and bossy, but I think that is a South African cultural style of talking. No way was she the main villain of this show, but her low vote and the amout of booing must put her as one of the most unpopular hms ever.

I couldn't believe those middle-aged women in the crowd that Davina interviewed calling her a prick-tease - she was the only one in the house who kept her clothes on, and if she'd done anything with Jason those same women would have been calling her a slapper. I really worry about the hostility to female hms.

But the herd mentality is exactly the same. Having watched many an eviction show over the years, it seems that the chief prerequisite for being in the Friday night crowd is a single digit IQ.

Good point. BB1's Mel was also booed for allegedly being a flirt, manipulative minx etc. when really she wasn't anything of the sort.

The worst ever booing has got to be when BB4's Lisa left the house. Now, that was just despicable.

If abusing the crowd makes you feel any the better then just carry on.

I loved them to bits last night.

Bet you didn't think much of them when Adele was booed though.

Correct. On that occasion I didn't. But I didn't find it necessary to sit here posting abuse about them.

Over to you for the last word???

What suprises me is the hm's are shocked by booing, by now anyone entering BB must realise there is a high chance that they'll be booed when leaving.
The exception was last year when Jon Tickle left to what appeared a standing ovation on the double eviction.

But of course. You condemn Vanessa for being haughty and lashing out at someone in the heat of the moment (and later admitted that her behaviour was out of order and apologised) and yet support Adele, who admittedly started off as an interesting housemate in BB3 (the only one) and then devolved into a cold, jealous, spiteful bully who appeared to remain quite unrepentant about her behaviour after leaving the house. Although you will no doubt find some specious justification for her conduct.

Interesting case of double standards.

myself i have no problem with booing. after all isn't this just a game show dressed up as a pantomime ???? we are asked to vote for our faves, which means that as long as they are still in the house we will be cheering them on. unfortunately, just as in the xmas special and indeed other game shows, when we see the ones we dislike we all boo, hiss etc etc. remember we even did it in "it's a knockout" !!!
i'm sure the evil sorceror in the local panto doesn't require councelling and he gets booed every night for 3 months.
maybe, victor et al should remember that we actually watch this 24hrs so, maybe just maybe vanessa did something a bit nasty (eg. nadiagate or ahmedgate )... maybe, she wasn't the nice, kind, caring , blonde totty after all ??? just a thought

That's because he's an actor playing a part. The housemates are real people living in a strange, stressful environment who have no idea how they are going to be perceived or indeed how some of their personality traits and behaviour are going to be magnified and, in some cases, distorted.

Though I'll admit that I do think that now we're on to BB5, the HMs should be more savvy and clued up about the whole situation and what to expect. I still don't agree with booing though.

No double standards whatsoever. Those are your views of Adele not mine. Adele was none of those things.

In any case if you wish to discuss Adele with me (once again), please start a new thread and I'll join you there.

As far as this thread is concerned I just want to celebrate the fact that Vanessa was booed. Have I told you just how much I enjoyed it?
