Looked up my very first BB13 post, just after the doors closed on opening night, when someone put up a 'first impressions' poll. Pleased to see that I voted for Luke, and commented that Luke, Adam and Lauren were my favourites. I must have powers of divination.
Here is the first night poll btw, with Luke second to Lauren: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/8895/pollp.jpg I see that Conor and Luke Scrase made an immediate good impression... I know I keep saying this but I can't help myself - he is as lovely a person on his facebook group as he appeared to be in BB. A really top guy. |

That very interesting. All these people who supported Luke from the start make me feel very bad. I didn't dislike him, you understand, but he didn't make that much of an impression on me although to be fair neither did any of the others.

I've never really understood why so many forum members feel that they have to rubbish his fans and pretend that his popularity wasn't real. (Not that he is the only one; think how many times people have alleged that Josie's supporters were 'chavs' or that Pete 'had people fooled'.) I think it is just horrible behaviour to refuse to admit that someone has won honorably and by winning the hearts of the people; I would never do it myself, and think bad sportsmanship is one of the most dislikable traits. |

I think Jack would have been a cert to be in the final, but he never made it to the house!
![]() Actually I didn't support Aaron straightaway either although he did make an impression on me pretty quickly - he came across as a typical wimpy posh boy (sorry Aaron if you read this although I dare say you've been called worse) but his face when Rebeckha talked about weeing on him was pretty hard to forget

Don't get that one - must be a bit numb or something, not for the first time.

I don't think you should worry about that at all. In the past I have taken ages to make up my mind about housemates. This was definitely the first time I have picked a favourite on the first night. Actually I think I picked a favourite within the first 5 seconds, because we have got used to spotting immediately the housemate 'type' - model, tick, beauty queen, tick, body builder, tick, posh person, tick - and I was momentarily baffled when someone with no obvious ticks started talking. What is HE doing here? Then of course he did have a kind of Bb tick, but by then it was already too late - he had already stuck in my mind as the person who got through the net just by being likeable.

I think it is just horrible behaviour to refuse to admit that someone has won honorably and by winning the hearts of the people; I would never do it myself, and think bad sportsmanship is one of the most dislikable traits. I adore Luke because he is a genuinely lovely person and I wish more people could get to know him the way we all have on the facebook group. |

Working a 50 hour week. Sigh. My brother is a chef (not a very elevated one) and he is the same. You have to not mind work. At least that meal he photographed for facebook looked incredibly yummy, whereas my brother's place has gone downhill to a kind of steak and chips joint.

I guess if that's your calling in life you'll put up with long unsociable hours. It's great to see him back using his talents so hopefully that'll do his confidence no end of good.

Oh dear! Do I make you think of Aaron?
![]() Just for the record, I adored Aaron in his BB. For sheer entertainment value and virtually carrying the whole show through the last few weeks of his series (as well as the Producers' attempts to stitch him up) Aaron deserves a medal. However, from the way I've got to know Luke since leaving the BB house he is now probably my favourite person ever to take part in BB - he really is a sweetheart and I still believe he got a bit of a raw deal in terms of sharing a house with some of the nastiest housemates ever to participate in BB because they sucked all the fun out of the few decent housemates and also in the editing (he's very funny for example but we rarely saw that). |

Sorry Mr Fox, I missed this post first time around. I still have no idea of what you were talking about before but, yes, you do make me think of Aaron because I know you are a regular contributor to his Appreciation Thread, as am I.

I do rather like it that there is a thread about Luke being the best winner of the last 10 years, even if the contents of it are often hostile. It just looks nice to have a positive thread title in the list after so many negative ones.
Actually Kate is the winner I remember the least. I remember that she drank a lot and had an edgy relationship with Jade, and that I quite liked her at the time, but I can barely remember anything in detail that she said or did. |

Yeah, it's funny really when you consider those same few people saying how boring he was - he can't have been THAT boring because they still remember him well enough this long after the series finished and are still annoyed that he won.

Actually - although I have used it myself - 'boring' is probably the least useful term on the forum. (I once started a thread about how boring Becky was, because I was finding her daily pop-eyed babbling diary room entries unbearable; but perhaps 'boring' was not really the word.) It drives me mad when people say, "all Luke did was blahdy blahdy blah" because every time I think, "yes, and what were the others doing when he was sitting chatting to Adam, to Lauren, to Deana?" Were they forming human pyramids, juggling with chain saws, constructing time machines out of found objects? Or were they actually lounging about having desultory chats, because there is sod all to do in the BB house? The only clear answer I ever got, when I asked someone what he thought the others did that Luke didn't, was that he "didn't start many rows". I really am unable to take against someone for that reason. We know that Luke was almost the only person to use the pool much, and also that he did a lot of cooking; not that we know that from being shown it, but from what other people said; so he wasn't idle, like Sarah and Ashleigh were. He just didn't like fighting much. And generated about 20 times as much forum comment as Luke S, for example, did.
I'm still fuming that he did as much cooking as he did - and he's a real, live honest-to-goodness chef - for that ungrateful rabble only for them to treat him as badly as they did. |

It's a shame he didn't have a hapless assistant like me in that kitchen. That would have been comedy gold! ![]() Quote:
Lucky you, if you don't have to ask. One of our friends in the forum kept sending us private messages even if we asked him not to. He has now gone on a forum break.

Val - you don't want to know! Just someone on the main forum who didn't like it when we supported and defended Luke

I'm happy to explain that to non-supporters but I find it very tiresome when they insist we're wrong. |
