Don't like the way BB are treating him as some sort of Marc-wannabe "lad". I think there's a lot more to him than that.
Hopefully it's just a blip and crafty edits. |

But then they've also showed him in the bedroom with the others when they were criticising him and chose to show Cristian commenting on how he thinks Marc has crossed the line a few times.
If it's simply normal nominations next week, I think he'll be fine. The originals, possibly even Harry, will go for Simon and Marc. And I think Simon, Sam and Marc, will have others they want to nominate before him. That strip tease was wonderful, wasn't it? I'm not sure he used enough baby oil

I'm getting so ridiculously bored of the endless number of threads out there about Cristian's "fake" accent and about how he isn't doing anything. You can list of multiple examples of him being involved and the role he plays in the house, and they just dismiss it.

Accents are fluid. They change. I'm from Scotland but have lived in London for 15 years and lived in America before that so my accent is all over the place and varies depending on to whom I am speaking and what mood I'm in. Code-switching and accommodation theory are common and natural linguistic features. It seems Cristian has lived in several different parts of the country and mixes with people from different backgrounds so it's understandable there would be slight (and they are SLIGHT) changes in his accent. People need to get over it. I'll paste this in the accent thread should it pop up again, but until then I'll leave it here. |

Thought last night's was a great highlights show for him. He's really came out of his shell now and this task has been great for him.

Is it my imagination or does Cristian get a really hard time in the main forum? It seem more pronounced and unnecessarily unkind than the comments about other housemates.
I realise he's not a huge character in there but a houseful of Marcs and Simons would be unbearable. The house needs a balance. |

You can see he is involved as much as anyone else. It's just people choosing to ignore things that don't fit their agenda. And the mocking of anyone who dares to say anything nice about him is ridiculous. Loved the scene with him, Danny and Joel in the loft. Danny and Joel wetting themselves, and Cristian all "It's a f*cking moth."

This was posted in the forum, lovely video of Cristian and Chloe answering viewers' questions. They obviously get on well and have a good friendship so why BB have chosen to never show them interacting, I really don't know.

That's a great video of Cristian and Chloe - I was we saw more of that in the show.
I've noticed there's a lot of buzz on the forum and on Twitter about his hearing aid, which he was seen wearing in the live feed last night. Hopefully this will mean less criticism coming his way. He doesn't need a sympathy vote but people could do with being a little more understanding. |

Despite knowing about his hearing problems, I've never noticed him wearing his hearing aid before. So I was shocked myself when I saw it, but I was more shocked to see how many didn't realise he had any hearing problems.

Same here. I wonder if they'll show him wearing the hearing aid on the HL show tonight or give some sort of explanation. I kind of hope they do.

We saw it briefly. It would be nice if they showed him talking about it, as I assume he will have done at times. I'm sure the others will have asked about it.

There are now three threads on the first page of the main forum directing unnecessary and unfair vitriol towards Cristian. I've decided to stop responding to such comments for now in order to stop bumping the threads up the forum.
I really wish BB would give Cristian a chance to shine and feature him more, instead of the constant loop of Simon's histrionics and Marc winding people up. |

Please, producers, give Cristian a secret task. He just needs a moment!

I am getting sick to death of it being only about certain people in the house.

Nice moment of Cristian standing up to Marc and telling him to shut up tonight after Marc called him a coward for not 'backing' him during the picnic task. Cristian was clearly trying to keep the peace.
