Some posts have been anti-Irish and anti-Derry. Even worse IMO are all the recent threads criticising his family and girlfriend. Way below the belt. I even had to respond to a FM who felt it was 'informative' to give a selective synopsis of the make-up of foreign nationals in Conor's home town and also describe how the local council was fighting racism amongst young people - with links provided. On a BB forum!
Of course I was disappointed in Conor when he said that rant about Deanna BUT the over-reaction has amazed me.
It's this that has made me sympathise with him and I'm sure I'm not the only one.”
I will be honest his behavior was disappointing and he let himself down but especially his family who are suffering abuse and unfair attacks at the moment.
Imo if they were going to show the rant, they should have ejected him as it has caused so much trouble for his family.
The proper way would have been to not show it but give him a final warning, if he said anything else, out the door.. This would have protected his family and g/f who seems lovely from libel and abuse.
But C5 wanted the controversy and ratings.They are loving all the ranting and obsessive behavior that's going on, it means ratings and money spent on votes.
he was very entertaining in the week he was up against Shiv and if he had not acted so stupidly he could have won the show.
His dislike for Deana is not racial, its more to do with guilt over what he said and the fact that she does not like him and never has..Remember what she said to Lydia, that she was glad she nommed him but not them.She did not even know him and did not give him a chance either.I am certain Lydia said this back to him.However he should have made the effort to be civil and get on with her as Luke S does.
I started the thread because I can see he is not a bad person, just someone who acted stupidly when angry and let himself down.Also I feel badly for his poor family, who are not on Tv and should be left alone.
I have a feeling he might win the cash and leave, if he does prepare for carnage here.
