This house would be the most dull House ever if it weren't for them. Danny just sits around, doesn't do anything unless stirred by the newbies. Chloe would never have been seen if it were'nt for Simon. The 3 young guys are Ok but there are about as lively as stale cheese. And as for Christian, is he really there.
Jade can be heard on occasion. In fact she was the only one to stir it up before. If I've left anyone out that must be because they are wall paper.
We know by now they have been brought in to stir things up. Lets face it it needed it and Marc has been asked to do all this shit. He even asked if he had to still go on with it.
The others are like wax works in Madame Tussards.

The 'original' housemates are humorless non entities.
It's only after the new housemates going in that I realise why they needed to do that quadruple swap.

They take everything so seriously it's becoming tiresome .
They also clearly obsess over what the public thinks of them.
And Jack especially is absolutely unbearable !

I agree. The newbies kept me from switching off.

The only thing I will say about the newbies is that their entrance has made all of the oldies stick together, which is so boring. Its easy to guess who will be up for nomination in the upcoming weeks.

TimeWarp better stick some good'uns in there.

That is part of the reason I want him out of there as soon as possible. I don't mind the occasional big row in Big Brother just so long as it happens organically.

Marc (and to a lesser degree Showbiz) have been sent in to deliberately cause rows thus any rows generated by their behaviour is as fake as they are.

That's without even talking about Marc's knuckle-draggingly Neanderthal view of sexual politics which is dismissed by the man himself and his sycophantic followers on DS as merely being "Irish banter"

You are only saying this because the editors made it that way, they insisted on showing (and forcing) the showmances early on - and it was tedious beyond belief.

So many brilliant moments on the main site haven't been included in the HL's...

Now they'll be forcing the Marc/Sam fauxmance on us

Jade was the only entertaining one out of the original housemates but even she has now faded into the background i guess her story line was to hate any attractive females & now that the twins & Sarah have gone she has nothing to bitch about & plus Harriet has taken Nick off her

Exactly this.

Yes it was a good twist this one, badly needed

Completely agree. They made it dull IMHO so they could launch the despicable Marc on us and we would be grateful.

Personally think Marc oppresses the house and I am sick of the sight of him. The show is worse for his inclusion.
