Suggesting a possibility is not "hanging" anything on anything. Nor is it making a diagnosis, provided one says "that's a possible explanation - not "that's the explanation"..

Converseley, what is the point of "hanging a HM's actions" on a value judgement for which we have no hard evidence?

At some point we may actually try and discuss the rise and rise of the professional thicko on reality tv, and the general acceptance and indeed embracing of it.

Maybe.

At least, she/he has elaborated on her position which was essentially what I was asking for. IMO, she has only one that has made a fair attempt to understand what I was asking instead of dodging or deliberately being elusive in answering the question.

It's been discussed a good few thing's have been discussed in this mighty thread. But what are 'we' going to do about it hey, short of joining the teams who pick the contestants for reality tv shows. How else will we stop them from being on our tv screens. I guess no one watching these dumbed down reality shows could do it. But there isn't much we can do. Bar turn the channel over.

But when that 'possibility' is used to explain actions/words with no foundation then it's pointless. Every HM will have a 'something'' that could be used as a 'possible explanation'.

Another possible explanation is that the people who tend to be HM's are a rather self centered lot and if something doesn't directly involve or refer to them then they just aren't interested.

BIB. Don't know. Let's hope that Emma speaks slowly when she asks him.

To be fair JP, I don't really think it's been discussed in huge depth- sure there are a number of posters including the OP who have valiantly tried to keep in on track, and I think many have made some pretty spot on posts, but as I say, the main crux of the thread has been overun by people talking about dyslexia which is a total sidetrack, as opposed to the main points being made.

As I said before- 'If we're going to make totally random excuses for people, with the defence that 'if we don't know for sure we can't rule it out' why don't we just do the same for all of them, and why stop at dyslexia'.

I seem to recall you didn't like Marc. Perhaps you now need to recant all the mean things you may have said and totally change your view on him as for all we know he's on the spectrum and also 'can't help it'. I am kinda kidding here but I hope you see the point being made!

As I say, the dyslexia thing is a total sidetrack to the actual debate and it remains so.

Now , how on earth can you compare Danny's inability to spell canoe on the first occasion and his struggling to spell it again on the second occasion ( even after practising beforehand) WITH Marc's obsession of hogging the camera and getting airtime ( as he's confessed ). ??

Well if we are using 'logic' as you propose then logically there 'should' be at least ONE probably TWO dyslexics in the initial group of housemates . The latest figures suggest 1 out of 9 people are dyslexic . Many more show traits of course .

What are the main points ? As I said in the other post what are 'we' going to do about it... dumbed down reality tv.
Yep I talked about Marc's 'game' as I saw it. So what. He's long been evicted now move on is my view. My view Marc isn't on any spectrum when it comes to any leaning difficulty or disorder. He's as sharp as a tack, a very quick thinker.

All of the above . Marc was simply a major gameplayer but got his tactics wrong .

How very DARE You, Unless you can provide medical certification that Marc is NOT on the spectrum you must retract that immediately. *cue outrage*

I joke of course but it's as valid an argument as the dyslexia one.

I could also argue that Helen has tourettes and so also must be forgiven for any transgressions...

...assuming we use the logic so many seem to have bought into for teh likes of Danny that is


Perhaps he dived into the sea as a child and the tact and decorum part of his brain was eaten by a shark.

I mean just like we don't know about dyslexia, we don;t know about this either.

I'm being purposefully facetious but the point remains.

Excuse one, excuse them all.

Marc has no learning difficulties imo, put it another way i'd definitely put a lot more money on that Danny maybe has... Tourettes no she doesn't swear enough,. lol You're still not addressing the points about what are 'we' going to do about dumbed down reality tv, i've brought it up twice now in my last post or two. You seem to like talking about leaning difficulties and disorders as well.

Not 100% sure but my recollection is that he said 'Not sure what you mean by genuine, BB...'

In any case, no, I disagree re your conclusion, either way. Even if he said "What does genuine mean?" it would still be a reasonable query in the context of being asked to name the 'least genuine' HM, since 'genuine' is subjective, open to interpretation and inevitably influenced by who a HM likes and dislikes.

But this is my exact point! I actually thank you for giving me a perfect example.

You cannot make an argument for Danny (or anyone else) re dyslexia on one hand and yet rule out something similar for Marc on the other. A bit of consistency wouldn't go amiss.

It's picking and choosing when to apply the logic/ assumption which makes a total mockery of it in the first place.

Excuse one, excuse them all.


Jeez, give me break eh- it's taken about a dissertation worth of posts just to get my initial points across to a number of people posting at me who don't sem to take it in, and STILL they haven't been directly addressed.

Let's walk before we try to run eh?

Well you're a popular guy I guess. Lucky you hey. lol

Yes I am.... but if I have any fat bird come up to me in a club I either tell them to stick to their own kind or to SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!

Fu** off will ya.. and take your baggyfanny with you! Eejit! lol

I like your style.

We may disagree on a few things, but at the end of the day, it's just an irrelevant reality tv show and at least we can still have a laugh JP.

I couldn't agree more.

In the last two weeks or so of BB I usually slow down with the long post debating Thinking more about the fact as you said it is just a tv show. Unless occasionally a mammoth thread hooks me back in.
For the final weeks mostly I try to keep to shorter posts funny ones if possible.

Your second paragraph - indeed. And not at all pointless raising it IMO.

I understand your point very well, I simply take a different position which you are failing to acknowledge..

General acceptance lol

Really. I'm actually sad for you. How bl**dy condscending do you have to be to gain approval on a website.
