Ok, lets try again

Can we all agree to ignore mischief makers please. It is counter-productive to try and debate with them and has led to an Appreciation Thread being locked, which is just shocking and a real damn shame. If anyone is breaking the rules, the report them and leave the rest to the Mods.

Nobody - not friend nor foe - should be attacking the subject of the thread. If you have nothing good to say about Dexter, then please, say nothing.

Eek hope all is well again.
I've been a bit busy lately (difficult pregnacy) so haven't been too good at keeping up, have I missed any interesting Dexter news?

Thank you Changa for the new thread.

Agree totally - just solid appreciation for Dexter and support for whatever he decides to do with himself for the future

Good Morning,

I may not have posted on here much since Dexter came out of the BB house, but I still lurk to see if I can see what he's doing now.

So yesterday was a very up and down day what with spotting Dexter's posts on here - FANTASTIC - and then being absolutely horrified at finding the thread locked due to an infiltrator!!!! Basically the infiltrator, or should that be (infilTRAITOR) had won.

I can't tell you how overjoyed I am to see this thread up and running today. Mega thanks for that Changa. Hope this one will be a pure Dexter love fest from now on.

Sticks and stones may break our bones but no infiltrators' words should ever be able to harm our appreciation for Dexter! Hope Dexter, and all his supporters on here have a great day!

I missed what happened last night. Did that Anthony Lowe fella go too far? Let's hope he doesn't come on here again.

Anyway, good morning to you all.

My version of the Talk of doom speech:

People go into the house for many different reasons, Which can include the following: Finding your self.-The chance of winning the money-Fame- ETC..

As a Ex Housemate I can Tell you all that no "Talk of doom speech will stop you in your tracks as you are all here for your own dream.

And you think you are going to break the mould!

What I can tell you is the odds, The odds of breaking thru the media wall is little to none those days are finished, and over after the ch5 merger with the show.

The only media outlets that run BB related stuff are owned by the same company that ch5 operates from so the demographic of people you will be reaching after the show is a lot smaller than the ch4 years.

Everyone in this room thinks they have the power to be different and stand out from the crowd... But ask your self this? Who do you remember form the last 3 series? Who made a lot of money? or who changed the views of thousands and kept the nation gripped?

Going into the house is no joke and from my personal experience is only suitable for a select few people who have the mindset to survive the aftermath not just the show.

It can be the best or worst thing you will ever do but it is a gamble?

Would you lay your life , friendships , work , and romances on spin of a ball or a roll of a dice?

If the answer is no! Then its not for you. If the answer is yes then jump on board you are the media puppet we will pull your strings and you will dance to our tune.

Its a hell of ride but when its over and you have cashed in your chips.
Who's the real winner? even if you win the show I assure you it wont be you.

You will learn a lot about yourself if you be your self the best way to survive the house is just let it happen when your in there.

Nothing you do can change what people will think you give the show the narrative if your a bad guy thats how you will come across. If your weak you will be weaker.

They can only edit what you give them to edit. Dont blame anyone if you come across different to the self perception you have of yourself because what the public see is you.

BB is not a golden ticket to fame and fortune but it is a confidence building exercise and the chance to have a Cv of your life, skills and the ability to handle different situations and people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Every year BB try to raise the bar. The question is can you jump and grab it hold on and do a pull up.

Hope this helps guys.

Great thread.

Regards

Ooh! How exciting - a real HM

I have a couple of questions for Dexter - admittedly from one of his biggest critics as a HM! No hard feelings.

You made these two statements in your post:

Prior to the house I created SPIN to make myself hated and get a job done that I was paid to do
If you don't like the product don't buy,watch,read,or consume it.
I'm surprised to hear the second quote from you. Wouldn't you agree that many media personas thrive precisely because people do buy, watch, read and consume characters they don't like?

In hindsight, do you now wish you could have entered BB without the 'spin' that gave many people such a negative opinion of you?

Or do you recognise that the 'haters' you acquired as a result of that 'spin' contribute to keeping you in the spotlight, and use that to your advantage?

Anyway, nice to see a HM come on to DS to give back to the peeps who have been so loyal to the HM and the show. Good luck!

Good to see Part 3. After lurking for a while, even I was surprised to witness the unacceptable behaviour from Anthony. Anyway, I hope that Dexter decides to come back.

Iam guessing he has been banned for a while and it seems a shame that the mods closed the original thread for Dexter because of the trouble he caused. I am hoping reader 123 will come back, you were one of Dexters biggest supporters and this thread will not be the same

It is never worth your while argueing with the likes of them because they do it to get attention, its best to put them on ignore and you wont even see their posts.

We all knew that Dexter went into the house with a persona which was not his own, we know that he changed and became himself and the reasons to why he did this. Hopefully his book will be published and we will find out how BB changed him as a person.

has led to an Appreciation Thread being locked,
Just to point out that all AT's are locked once a new "chapter" is started

Sorry everyone - just realised that this IS a new thread and not a continuation of the previous one. *hides head in shame*
