I see a lot of complaining about winston being evicted , I really don't get it , he was such a boring static character , he didn't develop at all from his vt, delivered exactly what it says on the tin , boring "bro" type with no depth. He never faced any challenges in there , was never pushed out if his comfort zone , had the easiest ride ever , and would only have won because he's the sort of dull , uncomplicated character the general audience love for some reason. I watch big brother to see how people change in the house , how they react to certain situations , how they reveal their personalities (or what they choose to hide) how their storylines develop , winston had none of that , except some abortive showmances where the other party was always much more interesting (except tamara , she was as one dimensional and flat as him) , he didn't change one bit from his entrance , wasn't really affected at all by the experience , never caused any major stir , Chris , Ashleigh , Helen , Pav , Christopher (at least he had a storyline) have all showed many aspects of themselves , and have had to deal with many different challenges. Winston types always get an easy ride to the final based on nothing so I'm glad the audience have finally started to weed these sort of dull , static , un changing characters out.

very true, my main memory of Winston will be other people doing stuff while he is in the background pissing himself laughing while constantly glancing at Ash for approval

Winston is no big loss, although I've seen a lot worse who have gone on to win.

In his favour he didn't sit on the fence and even criticised his closest friends. Best of all he understood how Big Brother worked, he's the ONLY one in there who knew that whatever you said behind people's backs would be fed back to them at some point, so he never joined in the bitching sessions.

The one time he was given a challenge (the letters) BB made it immensely easy for him by pairing the housemates off into beat bundles where he could justify giving his mates letters.

He did sit on the fence. he only picked an argument with people he thought the public wouldn't like. Hence the trying to argue with Helen constantly once he realised what the public thought of her. He was a big, thick useless plonker of a hms sat most of the time offering nothing but his Bluto like muscles. I am glad he was evicted.

He sure did understand how BB worked.

You may well be right.

But what does that say about the characters who get the support?

That somebody balanced and unphazed by spending God knows how many weeks in that house can never win?
What is admirable about being so flaky that you let the situation get to you?

And surely the same can be said of Ashleigh?
She hasn't changed an iota, she's still doing the same she was weeks ago. We know even less about her character than Winston's once you get past bitch mode.

What do you know about her background other than she has a mother and a boyfriend?
She had no reaction whatsoever to seeing her two BFF evicted, just moved onto the next BFF.
We heard nothing from her about her thoughts on Toya being evicted or her thoughts on what Bianca revealed about Danielle.

This particular eviction said nothing more about the audience except that there are few people voting overall and that small numbers of frankly misguided people are taking the show very seriously.
Unfortunately, because of the low viewing figures, the average casual viewer who doesn't take it that seriously and puts the odd vote in for somebody who appears relatively stable and provides the odd casual laugh are being drowned out.

So yes, the "fans" of BB have won.
That's not necessarily a good thing.

I thought he was a reasonable HM.

He wasn't too close to Helen, and supported the like of Ashleigh against the cool group at times.

Don't think it's fair to say that he wasn't challenged either.
BB put in Bianca specifically to 'challenge' him, but he didn't bite.

Don't think he's a huge loss, but he's a more colourful character than Pav, so I'd have preferred Pav to have gone.

Very good summary and I agree with you.

Spot on! He was a one-dimensional bore, arrogant enough to think his looks would seal the win for him.

I agree with you.
Winston was harmless enough and did have the potential to be the winner.
But there are far more interesting choices for winner this year so he had to go now
Well done BB.

He was glued to Helen and her greasy house hubby Ash and he spoke up for Ashleigh on ONE occassion ....interesting that this old chestnut comes up as there really is nothing else of note that he did.

He was an hysterical hyena for most of his time there. Laughing his arse off at others misfortunes. Wonder was he laughing last night

I know that I and most of this forum certainly were.
