Same here.

(btw I missed him in IACGMOOH, and have little knowledge of him, so I've quite liked him from the start.)

Ahh right thanks. My mistake I read it as close as in shut not close as in near.

I agree, he's constantly trying to be such a bloke. Annoying.

Yeah I meant a potential Top 3 finish housemate.

I agree OP. I never liked him in his "lothario" days but he's one of my faves now.

I find him the most overall likeable in there. Also him along with Tiffany seem to be getting the support from Twitter and Facebook. John has ruined himself in the last 3 days.”

Spot on OP. I've really warmed to him.

It was cushion-munchingly awks!

I was cringing she sounded like a kid not in her mid 30s I hope to god she doesn't win,

As for Darren I really didn't like him in his youth,but as someone else said,marriage suits him,he's my winner at the moment

I didn't think I would like Darran ...but...he's in my top three and I think he could go far

The GBP love a survivor triumphs over their past journey......Barrymore, Davidson. Top 3 finish without a doubt.

I can see him doing an Abs, he's pleasant and nice enough although not someone I'd want to win.

We all swear or cuss a wee bit.
Im liking him a lot now.
He's coming across as an all round likeable guy.
Mind you that might change next week when bb changes the script.

Completely agree.
I am however reminded that in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
It doesn't take much to come over as relatively likeable amid that bunch.

He wouldn't be my first choice - that would be David Gest - but I wouldn't mind too much if Darren won. I think it would do him a lot of good. I never used to like him but he seems to have grown up a lot.

She was joking, because he had said he hates all things pink, sparkly, etc. etc.!

I like Gemma. She's admirably even-tempered, kind-hearted, funny and warm. I also like Darren, but he's a bit too serious - I'd prefer someone who makes me laugh to win.

I'd be happy to see Darren or David win but unfortunately I think it will be Gemma or one of the other reality bunch.

He's a good sort. I know he's had his troubles in the past but in the house he's be honest, pleasant and an enjoyable presence. Probably my fave male HM at the moment. He should move away from John who clearly sees him as competition

I just want to smash John's face in when I see him on screen
but Darren i'd just buy a pint ! ”

I don't mean now, I haven't seen him for years til he was in this cbb , I mean back in the day.

I think that Darren is coming over quite well and he seems genuine; he is very 'normal' (which puts him in the minority in there).

I see Darren morphing into Cliff.
