I'm really starting to see Carol, Mario and Louie like the 'Insiders' of last year.

Pack-mentality, sitting bitching away about anyone else who they deem to be weak in the house.

Nominating them en masse and picking them off one by one.

I really hope I'm wrong though

I don't think you are wrong, unfortunately.

I don't know if there's enough time for the public to turn on them though...it's very obvious to me

Sad thing is, unlike BB13, they'll actually be supported this year.

Dont like Charlotte but am glad she hasnt allowed herself to be dragged along with them.

I totally agree with you, they all nominated Dustin. Carol would have done if she had a second vote, then there was Mario, Louie and Charlotte!

I am sick of the bullies, now that Sophie has gone Carol is picking on Courtney and Mario and Louie are joining in too! Not at all nice to see!

I have really warmed to Charlotte and think that beneath it all she is a really nice lass!

I don't see how she hasn't, personally.

I agree.. The 'crew' are detestable with their ringleader drunken old embarrassment Carol.

But of course, they are Endemol's chosen ones this year so don't expect any to be gone before the final

They're really not that bad. People just over doing it because Courtney is the forum fave. The same every year.

Yep, and alas the others remain fragmented, allowing 'the crew' to pretty much take control.

Courtney has nothing to with it

Carol, Mario and Charlotte are just awful.

Charlotte hasn't even really done anything wrong.

You've disliked them all since the beginning so their's no point of been even discussing this with you.

Carol and Mario have gone a bit too far sometimes I agree but they're not evil incorporated like the forum makes them out to be.

Exactly, if they were just normal people they would be hated, but because they are "celebs" they are loved for it.

I would also add Charlotte to the list, she can also be pretty bitchy when she wants to be.

Maybe not in your opinion, but in my opinion - they are.

They do the worst of their nasty character assassinations and back-stabbing when they are together and they display the pack-mentality that I absolutely loathe.

Like all verbal bullies, they stick together because never would they want to be on the receiving end of a vicious tongue-lashing from each other.

As the unholy alliance that they have become they've heard every last one of the brutally horrible comments.

The Insiders weren't that bad really - didn't like Conor or Becky but I far prefer the likes of Luke S, Ashleigh and Caroline to these three celebs

Caroline wasn't that bad She was a horrible nasty little girl. She thought anyone outside her little group was beneath her.

Really?

Well I thought that they were charmless, spiteful, arrogant and smug and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the GBP boot them off. Especially Luke S - made it to the final only to get kicked out first

Few housemates in the show's history get as much unfair criticism as Luke S in my opinion. He was a pretty decent bloke - though I did find his reaction to finishing fifth quite funny.

I don't know - the Outsider v Insider divide and the way people reacted to it just annoyed me in the end. The outsiders weren't that good and the insiders weren't that bad - I liked some of the housemates on each side. I ended up rooting for the independent though (Sara )

Caroline spotted recently:

Well I think it's because as much as we all know that they all want to win (minus possibly the odd exception) we really don't like it when it's blatantly obvious if that makes sense?

A tiny bit hypocritical?

Possibly, but naked ambition isn't very British and is frowned upon and feels somewhat vulgar

I think I'd have had more respect for him if he'd have just admitted it, but he kind of tried to pretend that winning didn't matter, and it was all very unconvincing.

Then there was the fauxmance with Ashleigh, which immediately makes my hackles rise. She was absolutely nothing like him whatsoever and even she knew that she wasn't his type.

It took her all of 5 minutes post BB for her to call him a F***ing arsehole!

really?

Same post different thread ... not everyone likes Charlotte nor her crude mannerisms etc ... horrid girl

I think it's an age thing.

I'd do a poll about her and ask FMs to state their approximate ages but I can't be arsed

Please direct me to where they made this exact same post.

LOL ... I know what you mean

Had we been allowed to create polls back at the start of BB ....

but now - what is the point? BB doesn't care - so why should we?

This series has been way too negative ... its contagious
