Great post, OP. I know how hard it is, supporting a housemate when her opponents are so hate-filled and nasty. I know for a fact that many supporters of Katie H were too afraid to post anything online for fear of being attacked. Fans of Katie have been made to feel like pariahs, as if they are the worst possible specimens of humanity because they support a housemate. It was always "How in earth can anyone support the "horse faced, vile, repulsive, evil slag - you must all be the same as her'. Nice!
Like Katie H I choose not to be offended. I admire her for trying to get people to be real and to show some balls.
Katie gave Perez a whole show. Without her he wouldn't have been able to cry that he was being 'isolated' or 'hurt through the heart'. He would have had to rely on doing silly dances, and talking to himself (the cameras . He couldn't have played the victim. So we'd all be hating him as much as ever.
Katie gave Alicia, Keith and Katie P the opportunity to be real and show their fiercer sides. And not forgetting Nadia who got oodles of airtime because of Katie H's generosity.
I heard her say, many a time when somebody cracked and showed a bit of passion "Good. I was hoping that would happen.
It's her prime motivation, to get people to comr out of their shells. Get some opinions, show some passion.
That side of her is brilliant. Harsh at tines, but no worse than I've seen on here. In fact a few people here are much more adept with their 'vile' (anagram of 'evil) comments.
Katie showed all her sides, each facet of her personality. She's certainly not been dull or boring. No wonder she was disgusted when Katie P was voted as winner. She said, she'd rather it had been Callum or Michelle, anybody who had shown a spark of life in the house. Katie P really was a damp squib. I can't think of one instance when I thought, 'uh oh, she's a winner.
We was robbed.
