Perez, single-handedly, has put back all Michelle's efforts to assure us that they are normal people just like us.
Oh I can't keep this shit up! I find Perez funny. I just do. Shoot me if you want. I just can't see the 'vile repulsive thing' that people talk about. He's just an arse being an arse. OK, it's annoying but it's a damned sight funnier to watch than anything else in there.”
My sister said exactly the same as your first paragraph. I did say to my sister that in America you have to remember they face a lot of right wing, Christians who think anyone who isn't hetero should die. They have a lot of power. I did wonder maybe she was thinking about them, more than here. Although I do think some Americans do still think of Britain as quaint and the whole 'homosexuality' issue will make us women faint and men shoot guns!!!
Second paragraph, my other half has saud he most probably shouldn't like Perez but he does! He makes him laugh. He doesn't like how they gang up on Perez. My sister thinks he's ok and hasn't been nasty and for her, that's what's important.
Reason I'm telling you their reaction is because I've adandoned BB! I watched who was going in, knew with the current BB watchers the nasty piece of work will no doubt win (that's KH in case you wondered) and after Jim Davidson and Helen, can't watch anymore. Unfortunatley,my OH and sister talk about it!!! I actually came on here to see what reasons people were using for supporting KH but wandered on this thread!
Thought I should explain why I'm quoting relatives, but pretty much wanted to say, they agree with you!!!
