Thrombin, I hear you.

There is nothing positive about his anger issues, but I kinda understand them.

I acknowledge that flying off the handle isn't always the best way to go...someone needs to reign him in and give him a good talking to.

Perhaps after BB, he will learn that this is not the way to behave.

I like Hughie because I don't think there are two sides to him.

I don't believe he is calculating . He doesn't appreciate unfair play, he doesn't appreciate goading or taking the " rise out of other hm's, which the foul Natalie and dullard Alex used against him.

I like him for being him.

I agree. If he got his anger under control.
He shoots first then ask questions later.

Karen... just out of curiousity, and in the interest of fair debate, what would you have done in that situation? In an already intense lock-down environment, with everyone shouting over you whilst you are trying to make a reasonable point calmly..... and then two of the others telling you to 'shut up' (twice).

Would you have been happy with being told to shut up? Would you have been happy that your explanation or opinion didn't count and was being disregarded?

Perhaps you would have conformed and did as you were told (by a supposed equal) and shut your mouth. Perhaps you would have just walked away and kept your feelings and opinions bottled. Maybe he could've gone to the diary room to vent... but it's not in his nature to be passive and moan to somebody else.

Nobody's opinion in there is worth any less or any more than his. And he wasn't the only housemate shouting. He didn't throw any punches, he just broke loose of being restrained so that he could look the man in the eye whilst making his point.

Hughie was not involved but chose to poke his nose in which is something he criticises others for. So for me he had no need to get involved and behaved hypocritically.

Yeah I think he is up there. He's so lovable, and I think everything he does is genuine.

All are "real & genuine" in their emotions.

Alex is laid back and boring with hardly any personality.

Andy gets frustrated by the youngsters antics and finds it hard to interact with them. He's intelligent but emotionally immature.

Charlie is now a proven liar, obsessed with Jason & has a massive jealous streak

Chelsea is all mouth and no action, in his mind he's the best thing since sliced bread, deluded.

Emma is a flake, doesn't like confrontation

Evelyn she's a gossip but not malicious

Georgina is naturally miserable, she is controlling, slightly vulnerable, & holds a grudge for a long time. She's very jealous especially towards younger females who she deemed more attractive than herself. Georgina comes across as someone who hasn't had much experience with relationships & men in general. Emotionally very immature.

Hughie is naturally funny but does have a quick temper. He can be quite intimidating in one of his rages.

Jackson makes out he's getto but in the DR we've seen otherwise. He has a sensitive side, uses situations to his advantage. At times he's delusional & enjoys being pussy whipped.

Lateysha enjoys being the Queen Bitch in her little group, what she wants she will get. She doesn't enjoy seeing others in the limelight and shown jealousy. She acts like a spoilt brat when she doesn't get her way & is very self absorbed.

Laura is very open, especially sexually. She is a gossip but not in a malicious way. She's fun loving and always finds a smile even when times are hard.

Ryan is a follower, not very emotionally bright. He loves being centre of attention & isn't as funny as he thinks he is.

Sam is also a follower, rather go with the flow than rock the boat. He tries to avoid nominations by ass licking. He's also a proven liar & quite deluded.

Jayne being an older HM, she finds it hard to interact with the others. She is very secretive and a loner. She isn't enjoying herself in the house due to Chelsea being there. Jayne is one of two HMs that can't open up & be them self at this time

Jason is another who can't be them self due to his demented EX GF being in the house.
Jason has shown compassion to others and authority when needed. He's bored in the house with all these youngsters, so he keeps himself busy by planning and cooking the meals. He doesn't like confrontation & tries to be the peacekeeper.”

great summing up !
Although I think Ryan is of great comedy value

There is nothing wrong with refusing to be suppressed.

He comes from a culture where he has had to fight harder to be accepted; both in society and within his own community. He is programmed to recognise fair/unfair treatment.

He doesn't start trouble but if it lands at his feet, he won't be backed into a corner and I respect him for that!

He comes across as caring and quite laid back to me, he gets involved in all the tasks.... and he brings humour to the house

Hughie to Win”

^^^ Great post - I agree.

I just get the feeling that he is something we rarely see on Big Brother these days ... a housemate who is actually being himself

What think you ?”

I agree with all of the above. Hughie is real. Yes, he blows his fuse but he is not malicious. He's not perfect, none of them are. People seem to view a short fuse as the worse thing, when there are so many other character traits, that some of the housemates possess, that I find more deplorable; Natalie's vindictiveness, or Chelsea's inflated ego and his horrible stirring about Jayne. Yes, Hughie is angry and yes, he could reign it in, but I believe he is a decent human being.
