nadia has done little except moan about not having enough ciggies (when everyone knows you dont get 40 a day in there, so why go in if you have) and that her "past" would come up outside the house and in previous years people have flown message planes and done the tennis ball over the wall tricks...
shell has done nothing but cry and made very immature "yay" noises
stu has done nothing but been something meshelle has leant on
dan has tried to fix arguments and acted as a go between and thought through some of the tasks
jason was annoying and wrong on fight night, but done little. however has done everything taskwise without complaint as far as i can remember.”
Perhaps you are being a little sweeping in your judgements?
The following comments are my opinions.
They are bored and different people do different things to cope. One of them is talking, another is smoking, another is houseworking, another is cooking another is singing.
Nadia did indeed take a chance. Of course she knew that everyone on the ouside would be aware that she is a transsexual (and now legally a woman by the way). Her aim was to be in a situation where she could see if she could be accepted for who she is. And she has. Apart from Victor's nasty comments which he wasn't man enough to say to her face. All addicts react badly when their drug of choice is unavailable.
Shell has done a great deal more than just crying. Her bossy behaviour around the food issue irritates and amuses me. She is stunningly attractive too.
Dan has managed to form a relationship with Nadia despite their bad start. This makes him interesting to me.
Jason is a sad case and I have genuine sympathy for him although I do not care for how he has behaved in the house. He appears to be socially inept and an isolate in life.
Stuart is obviously stupid and socially immature. That's because he is young. He will mature in time. He has been suckered by Michelle but he has been entertaining and funny.
Any twelve strangers flung together in their situation would cause all sorts of extreme reactions in each other and in us. That's why I am such an admirer of BB.
