I listened with interest to Judy James last night and her attempts to pigeon hole fans into groups depending on who they support. We have also seen on here that such a group of fans must be this that and the other depending on who they want to win.

I don't see how it stacks up, I've supported characters presumed to be bad guys in the past like Jim Davidson but also supported Sam the nicest guy in BB14, equally liked Glynn and Sophie in theirs. I've also liked Hazel, Aaron, Katie H, Josie, Gary Busey, Julian Clary and Ashleigh, hated Helen, Jay, Rylan and Denise Welch.

Quite a mixed bag so I don't get the generalisations neither on here or from the supposed experts about particular fans, that they must be this or that because they like a particular character and that's what it's all about to me the picking the characters you like and watching them evolve. I enjoy the banter on here to a point until it's not fun any more then I just leave the diehards to it.

Judi James prattles on about any old rhubarb, which she makes up off the top of her head. She has no qualifications in psychiatry or even psychology so you may as well be listening to the views of a 3 year old child.
I've done my own extensive research in the last 30 seconds and I have found that fans of Judi James are extremely gullible and love fairy tales.

I think Judy makes some key points but, sometimes, misses other influencing factors. I welcome analysis of HMs and can fill in the gaps inbetween for myself
(I have a degree in psychology), i.e. I find it a fairly useful guide.

Judy annoys me but does talk some sense every full moon.....

I think she's a galloping buffoon but is nevertheless exactly what BB deserves.

I gave up smoking years ago but last night she said that blowing smoke means you are seducing everyone around you. I immediately rushed out and bought 80 Rothmans.

I agree with you OP I think over the years I have supported a wide range of HMs and some years had quite a time of it because I supported both Jason and Victor and Nadia which was confusing on the forum I have never thought any one type of person must like anyone one type of HM I have occasionally wondered who could like for instance Helen or Carole but I never actually think they would be on homogenous mass of people.

If I felt her profiling wasn't simply based on who she likes and dislikes..I might pay attention.

She might as well just say-

"I like this person...anyone else who likes this person is amazingly intelligent and wonderful"

or

"I don't like this person....anyone who does like this person is a stupid poo-poo head".

That's about as deep as it goes.

Your research is astonishing. I actually do love fairy tales.

i think you're being generous with the amount of depth you accredit her conclusions with but apart from your generosity i agree

I wouldn't mind knowing what these groups of fans are. I want Keith or Katie Price to win. What did she say about Keith or Katie Price supporters?

She said Hopkins' supporters are submissive and need to be led.

Well she's probably right about that one.
