I always forget about the Appreciation section.

I find Christopher to be a thoroughly decent man, who's done nothing but try to be friendly and supportive in that nest of vipers yet gets maligned and rejected for it.

By any of the usual measures...who you'd trust/want to be stuck in a lift with/etc, he would be my first choice for all.

Helen is the worst culprit for that, how she doesn't realize it is rude is beyond me.


Hi to all the recent people with amazing judgement who have decided to post on this thread.

Sudden influx of new people - welcome!! You have great taste. *

*I don't really know what this smilie is for.

I want to know what you guys think:

What is best for Christopher? Toya going or Ash/Marlon going?
(I think we can assume that those 3 are the one's at risk this week)

I want Toya to go because she has been absolutely vile to Christopher, possibly the worst to him. I don't need to go into details because obviously you guys know what she's done. I feel that if she goes Christopher will really feel the support from the public, he will know that we're not condoning this horrendous treatment of him.

However,

I can also see the (in my opinion) HUGE benefits if Ash/Marlon go. Firstly, it is likely that Toya will continue being horrible to Christopher, which isn't nice of course, but it will likely gain him more public support. ALSO, as other posters have said in the main forum area, if the 3 stooges (Ash, Marlon, Winston) aren't split up then they will feel vindicated, and it will likely mean that Christopher may well face an eviction against say Jale and Chris.
This is because Helen's team bitch will likely target Christopher and Chris (knowing Jale is always up) - basing this assumption on how previous weeks have gone down with nominations and bitching. The other group, the "uncool kids", will vote for any member of Helen's gang and thus splitting their nominations.
We could end up with Helen and Ash's dream, a 2 / 3 way eviction between Jale, Chis, Christopher (or maybe Danielle/Kim) in which case I think Christopher could be in trouble.

Sorry if that's difficult to follow!
Just wanna know your opinions on what's best for Christopher? Toya leaving or Ash/Marlon leaving?

It's not i have been thinking about it myself. To be honest i reckon Ash going tactically would be better because as you say if all the "lads" stay this week, then team evil (as i call them) could seriously manage to get Christopher vs Chris vs Kimberley vs Jale in which case i think he might go. Being realistic though there is very little chance of Toya not being evicted and i wont be sad to see her go.

This. I'd even risk going in a lift (I hate them) just in case it got stuck

Like Angie up there ^, I always forget about this set of threads.

Christopher has been my favourite right from the beginning and I just don't understand why he has been treated as an outcast by so many.

Also, any ideas why he is called Christmas by many of the nasty ones? Is it supposed to be a code name? If so, it isn't very clever!!

Lazy nickname because they find it too difficult having two Chris's in the house and saying Christopher must require too much effort? Christmas can sound like a dig at times when they are mocking him but i suspect they don't realize it can come across that way.

EDIT:You have clearly had good taste since the start of the series.

Hey, everyone, thanks for the warm welcome.

Re the current discussion on this page, I think Christopher's going to be up most weeks barring twists no matter who goes this week. The block vote from 'the other side' is probably going to keep putting Christopher, Chris and Danielle up alongside Jale as a matter of routine.

I'd like to see the above mentioned also blocking their noms to make sure one of the mean types is always up with them, that way whichever combination is up will keep surviving as the public picks off the loudmouths. Once Toya is gone they should try to make sure they get Steven and Ash and Marlon up with them.

Not sure the 'outcasts' think like that though.

An eviction between Christopher, Chris and Jale is the nightmare scenario. Too close to call for me. Would be decided by a handful of votes either way.

That's how I see it right now, anyway.

Dreading when/if he gets the poisoned chalice, but it also could be his chance to shine.

Another Highlight with Christopher being left out because we haven't seen enough of Toya,Helen and Mark for example.

Maybe not a bad thing he was left out.

If he'd been included it would mean he'd been dragged into all the drama going on right now.

That's all the producers care about.

True and i am glad that he didn't show himself up in all that nonsense.

By the way i wasn't watching tonight's episode properly (will rewatch later) but did i catch him doing some weird dance with Toya?

Nice to see Christopher having some fun tonight. Makes a change.

Do wish he'd steer clear from Toya though. Won't do him any good.

Another newcomer.

I thought Christopher was great tonight. Glad to see him stick up for himself.

Hi Selena nice to have another Christopher fan. I think it was great that he stood up to helen and defended Matthew, i also loved it when Mark tried to tell him to shut up he was like "i will say what i like".

I'm also glad Christopher stood up against Helen, it just secured him as my favourite even more.

Oh and his singing tonight was truly something.

It really was.......................unique.

Well done Christopher you are right Helen cannot tell you what your opinions are!

I imagine Helen thought she could spout her bile about Matthew at Christopher but he is far too mature and loyal to listen to her.

Not sure about Christopher's singing though he did put a lot of enthusiasm and effort into it which at least made me smile

Well done Christopher for refusing to diss your mate and telling her to stop trying to make your mind up for you.

Helen and Ash are all about the intimidation and it's good to see people feeling more confident in standing up to it.

When the horrors are evicted (slung out in Helen's case soon) Christopher will be able to come into his own and we'll get a much better picture of him as he relaxes and is able to have some fun.

Right this week Christopher has shown us three things he needs to stop doing
1. singing
2. dancing
3. Exercising (what was that?)

Christopher does seem to lack co-ordination

Here's hoping that Ash goes tonight - it would be best all round

Only likeable housemate this year... go Christopher.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to put my nose round the door and say good luck for tonight, although I'm sure Christopher is as safe as houses - he's a lovely guy.

I'm loving all these little Christopher moments.

I just wish that he featured more in the highlights. It's a shame that they only seem to be focusing on the bitching and arguing.

Oh my, his exercising had me in stitiches!

Good luck tonight, Christopher, but you don't really need it. Safes as houses.
