There is sooooo much criticism on here for Calum in particular, but also Michelle.

Even to the point of slagging off ridiculous petty things like haircuts, eyes, etc, etc.

but up to this point I can't see anything bad that either Michelle OR Calum has done to anyone??

Well I don't think I have said anything about haircuts but for me Callum is rather sneaky and not very nice his gossiping about Alicia put me right off him and his calming way of yelling shut the .... up from a door way I never quite found endearing.
Michelle is a whole other desperate to win nasty, her persecution of the misfits and gays has for me turned me right off her.

Attack the best form of defence? It's all they can think of?

I like both of them & don't give diddly squat what anyone says

I agree. Michelle and Callum are fine. All of them have flaws (some huge) but Michelle and Callum are pretty harmless and have tried to be true to themselves under a fair bit of stress and manipulation.

I just haven't got the reason why Calum is adored. He doesn't come across to me as he as he does to others or himself.

I find his "dood" habit irritating. I find him simmering with anger, defensiveness and not exactly hugely pleasant in character (but nothing terrible). I think he has something of the typical Celebrity brittle ego (bog standard).

Others see handsome, charming, laid back.

It's a strange world.

As to Michelle, I just don't quite get her agenda in BB. If she were on some other programme then maybe I would get it more but it makes no sense to me on this one.

I'm not so sure Callum is adored but he is liked mostly. I think most see Callum as being fairly rational and the couple of times he flipped a bit - he still reasoned his arguments quite well. The dick comment to Perez was fair enough because he was being a dick - Perez. Again, quite logical response.

I lose most of what he says in the "dood" and "mate" tbh, so I can't actually remember what his rationale for anything was.

He got so tetchy over his trainers being joked about.
He got so tetchy over being nominated.
Didn't see much of him unless he was complaining about being nominated or expressing how he hopes the public see him, other than Perez confilicts.
Nothing special - bog standard for the house but just makes it hard for me to see anything specifically likeable, but I know for sure that others genuinely see it.

I'm struggling to think of anything nice about either of them. I just can't see anything likeable about either of them?

Hi mollie.
The way I remember it, it was the awful Cami Li who likened Alicia to a velociraptor (can't spell that!) and Calum just laughed along. He wasn't the one making those comments.
I could be wrong though, I often am!

Calum is ok but Michelle no way. She has arse licked Hopkins so much and not been her own character. Every time she does speak its to remind everybody that she is the spokesperson for the downtrodden minority. We all know that Michelle so just give it a rest.

I agree with your post.

To me Calum (and Michelle for that matter) come across as fairly normal people in a house full of nutters!

Yeah I do think he was concerned about he was being seen by the public. But so would most I guess. And I think he has kept some integrity along the way. Unlike others. So I don't mind if he wins. He had done well in that respect. I would probably prefer a different winner but that's a different discussion probably best not getting into

They both think Hopkins is a fake.

So maybe they aren't so bad.

Yeah. They have tried their best to deal with the house and keep some kind of sanity and perspective. I mean anyone would lose a bit of sanity and perspective in that house wouldn't they?! So they have largely held it together.

They like her though. And I wouldn't say they think she is fake. I think they believe she has played the cameras a bit. But don't they all?!

I quite liked Calum to begin with, but he just turned into a lackey and demonstrated a dearth of personality and depth. He was assimilated with very little effort. It takes nothing but cowardice and shallowness to be a follower without a mind of your own. His 'I had your back' nonsense and, let's face it, lies, to Perez were pathetic. Ditto Michelle. I've found her anachronistic and embarrassing from the beginning.

But people who think like me aren't in the majority when it comes to BB voters. So they'll probably be in the top three with that wasted, ugly dim-witted bully.

Personally I see that as a minor irritation.
She probably just wants to flog a few t-shirts or get a singing gig at the G.A.Y. club in London when she gets out - and good luck to her.

At the end of the day, they are ALL in there to earn dosh, raise their profile and get more work.
If the public see a different side to them and end up liking their personality that is just a bonus to them - I never believe it is their reason or motivation for going in.

I cannot stand Michelle because she is a fake two faced person who uses others sexual orientation to boost herself when really she comes across as someone who would do anything to be in the limelight and tolerates the cause as it's the only place she can be bigger than she is.
Calum, well he thinks he has it in the bag and is the most boring, talentless excuse of a housemate who is known because of who his dad was. Nothing to him with his fake accents and his smugness. He hasn't got anything going for him at all and even if he won CBB. He's still have to always wonder if people just voted for him because he's G. Best's son. He should have carved a career for himself without the spotlight. Then and only then could he ever be taken seriously.

I can't like any of them so it doesn't matter to me who wins. There's nothing that come across about any of them that's impressed me, makes me want to see them again on my screens or read any articles about them. I doubt I'll be buying his perfume.

I'm not sure about his integrity - he seems too guarded to really let much slip - whether that's the same thing or not I'm not sure.

I just think its a shame that kh and perez were in there. We havent truly seen the others characters cos they both wanted the limelight. Badly

Woah you have a harsh outlook on those who try to mainly just be reasonable.
Just because they were both as fed up with Perez as the rest of the house doesn't mean they were 'followers'. But of course, I'm not surprised you think that by the tone of your post..

I think he is guarded too. But has integrity
I agree with you. Nothing I would get too excited about when it comes to Callum but he is nice enough to win and I wouldn't be picking too many holes in that fact if he did.

I didn't think he was too boring. Put it that way. Something kept me liking him.

You may well be right, I don't like people who are considered good looking or intelligent laughing at others who are not, it isn't something people can change easily so it's cruel to laugh at them.

However my main problem with Callum is his association with Cami Li I have rarely see such a nasty person and he couldn't see that, add to that his adoration of KatieH and he was pretty much doomed to being thought of as just as bad as them by me.
