I'd find it quite watchable - you don't have to be constantly screaming at people to be entertaining.

The two are relative, and have no meaning without the other.

Surely a villain isn't a villain without a good guy (and vice-versa)? There'd be no such thing as good if there were no bad, surely?

I like to think of Big Brother as -
The Hunger Game of Thrones: You win or you die, so may the odds be ever in your favour.

My point is, do-gooders patting each other on the back isn't as entertaining as shit-stirrers stabbing each other in the back.

The villain makes a hero. A hero cannot make a villain. Therefore it's the "villains" that make the show and therefore deserve to win and be rewarded for their services to entertainment.

I disagree. There is no hero without a villain. A villian can stand alone.

About 80% of former winners have been 'good' people, though. Only real exceptions were Helen and perhaps Aaron.

Most of the time, audiences LIKE 'good'!

I like good. But you have to bring something else to the table . Brian Belo was a funny dunce and was also a good guy and that's why he won.

Cristian, Danny, Chloe are duller than soapless dishwater they don't deserve the prize fund.

Even Aaron is a nice guy. Helen only won because she had a pass to finale so nobody could ever vote to evict her. Most of the viewers who vote are decent people who want decent people to win. I doubt a real villain could ever win BB if production doesnīt manipulate it.

And i feel really bad for people who only can be entertained by assholes like Marc or Helen who always try to put people down. I rather root for Danny and i donīt think he is boring at all. I bet if we had live feed he would be one of the most interesting people to watch in there.

Brian was a fantastic housemate, and besides one spat with Charley, he got on with everybody pretty much throughout. He was absolute living proof that you didn't have to be a complete **** to be seen as entertainment. I LOVE entertainment! Peacemakers can too be entertaining

Oh I liked Aaron a lot and wanted him to win, but he had his sneaky side, and could get stroppy too. He was one of my favourites that year, though.

Danny is very much in my top 3. In last nights ep, he did a very decent thing by checking on Harry, and advising her to mingle and try to have fun. He was great with Jack when Marc returned, and he's not been too bad with Marc himself, either. I don't think trying to get on with people makes you a bad housemate, but eh.., in not a critical person by nature I'd rather root for him, rather than someone who'll happily put people down and belittle them.

Its a toss up between Danny & Cristian as to who has said and done the least this year, they are both digging a tunnel under the fence to the final, that they spend most of the time sitting on.....

Disagree that they deserve to win. They are there to be yet another challenge to the other housemates. It's how people in there cope with the pressure in there that will give them the win generally (and a bit of good luck). It's a game of survival, not by being the most obnoxious, but by being the better person whatever is thrown at you.

Not if their personality begins and ends with peacemaking.

He failed miserably in being the peackeeper in last night's episode. But he is arrogant when trying to be.

To you perhaps.

I'd much rather watch a houseful of people who got on than watch a bunch of arseholes making everyones life uncomfortable.

Big Brother have no need to force confrontation.

What, with nobody to be bad to?

No!! Danny has just got his eyes on the prize ...... Ģ150K in his own words would be 'life chaning' for him.
Remember Danny is very experienced with Reality Shows, he's just coasting to the end of this, typical 'sitting on the fence'!!!

He seems dull but genuinely nice, for me that wins out for me every time.

Absolutely, and who knows, without all this engineered drama and few nasty characters put in there he might actually have turned out to be a fun HM!

you can't compare Danny to Brian, Brian came out with joke after joke and had his housemates laughing non stop for weeks, Danny only entertains when he's making himself look a complete prat like not knowing how to spell canoe

However, in another clip on the website, Marc asks Danny if Cristian is still unhappy and Danny says, "you know what he's like, he takes everything to heart".

Is Danny just trying to keep the peace and smooth things over? Or is he being more calculated and duplicitous and attempting to stay out of Marc's firing line.

I can't work him out.”

When marc came back in the house he told them in a group "a lot of people in this house are two faced bastards"

Danny replied "Really..Just to you?"

That said a lot about Danny and the situation...he didn't care if people where 2 faced about marc..he just wanted to know if he was backstabed..

he isn't a peace keeper .. he is a self serving prick like most of them

I didn't interpret it like that. I thought he was saying they're is probably a lot of it going on and Marc is likely not the only poor sap on the receiving end
