so it is "Encouraging" then bec brian was gay and nadia is ts? i think that is bad reason to win. should be done on personalitys only.

it is imposible to look at nadia as a woman. i see nadia and think ts bec she keep saying in diary room. nothing wrong with being ts if thats what you want to be. but i think majority of public look at ts as being novelty when really it is not. so if she win it is bec she have votes bec people look at her like freak value like elephant man. i think is v bad choice by her to go on show like this. her private life is now public life and for some one who wants to start life over as a woman is ridiculuos thing to go on TV game show like BB. what ever she go through in mind with sex change op will be ripped out and replaced with something else now "X facter" bec we dont know wht it is. but i think is dangrous thing she is doing. isnt it enough to change your sex, why have to go on TV as well?

I'm not voting for Nadia, though I do see the attraction. She is very OTT in her manner but underneath she seems so vulnerable. Maybe she strikes a cord with a lot of people, we all show the world what we prefer to be seen, some manage to keep the 'real' person totally hidden, but most, like Nadia, can't help emotional leakage.

I take your point SD about going out in the street and finding 10 people (though 12 would be better ). I sometimes think that the audition process is at fault, instead of looking for interesting people, they spend too much time looking for people that will clash with each other, hence they end up with HMs that make ridiculous statements at the auditions, then don't live up to expectations.

In an ideal world, yes, but as long as there is such a large segment of the population which persists in spouting homophobic, racist, or bigoted drivel, I think having a gay winner and now a transsexual winner sends an encouraging signal to those who are too often the targets of hatred.

I'm not stupid; I don't for a minute believe that a transsexual winning BB will change the world, but having to choose between four decidedly uninteresting, self-absorbed, wannabe personalities, I'd rather the transsexual won.

Besides, she's let it all hang out, as it were, rather than hiding behind a safe facade created specifically for the show, and that's worth a couple of votes in my book whether I like her not.

Yeh I'm going to have tears in me eyes when Nadia wins, she's so scared about coming back out and facing the public, to win will take that fear away and the crowd will go nuts for her. Plus her mother will be there, omg its going to be emotional. Davina will probably cry too, I mean she cried on Popstars! lol
