Love this - was nodding in agreement the whole way through. at 'which sold actual copies!' Bonkers.

This mentality is putting me off watching CBB. I don't normally like the celeb version but I'm interested in a couple going in this year but one of the Geordie TOWIE lot will win. These talentless scripted reality folk with the huge twitter support monopolise and I do not get the appeal at all.

Exactly this.

I disliked her on the Valleys because of her treatment of Liam. She had a grudge ever since the first episode. Sure he could argue his back socks off but she was the one that started. And he finished it. Then he looked like the villain in 'upsetting a girl' which is crap.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt because I thought 'that's a show and she's probably nothing like that'. I liked her for the first week but then went off her.

They spoil it, and that's one of the reasons I wanted Hughie to win, he was one of the few nobodies in there. Jason, however, deserves his win for stopping the Lateysha band wagon in its tracks. I hope Hughie will see that too once he's back with his family and is more grounded in reality.

Indeed - they are human, not robots. Hughie was visibly shaking - and I doubt very much it was because he didn't think he should win it I imagine it's pretty scary sitting there knowing you could win that amount of money, plus the idea of leaving the house to a baying mob - terrifying!

If he did look relieved, as somebody thought, perhaps it was that it was all over now one way or the other. Better to know the result than not.


I'd never realised that the top 3 had pressed the button! As for your bib - I totally agree.


As you say, it's a game show - Jason was eliminating the opposition (he isn't a fool, he knew Lateysha was likely to win the show AND that he was next on the chopping block after hearing his name mentioned a few times in the task that week).

IF you think he's greedy - then all of those who pressed the button were greedy. Just remember though, the money wasn't going back into the pot no matter what. ALL of the contestants are greedy - they all wanted £100k for doing very little for 7 weeks or so.


A 'big love of money' - who hasn't? Tell that to Philip Green


your bib - couldn't agree more. Jason changed the game around completely that week, a task I did not like the sound of at all changed the show for the better. It also brought a reality (pardon the pun) check for the rest of the housemates who suddenly realised they had to play the game better and up their game. He turned it on it's head and thank heaven he did.


If he meant deserving within the context of the show, then I'd say it's better than worthy - which sounds more of a judgement on Jason's character than his performance on the show.


You keep saying Hughie's easily influenced - yet not once was he averse to expressing his own opinion on the shown, nor going against those he hung out with or snogged if he thought they were wrong. He seemed a man of strong will and strong beliefs, a man not a gullible little boy.


They all deserved to be in the final because the public said it is so, they are the people that the public didn't evict, so of course they all deserved to be there. Fortunately it was also the best possible line-up out of all the housemates who went in, with none of the under-the-radar HMs still standing.


Indeed. People are doing Hughie a great disservice to suggest he's Ryan or Lateysha's puppet.


Well put.


I liked her for a while, for all her stupidity at times she often came out with something mature or a really good observation. Plus she was the one who challenged Marco and his behaviour. Yes, at the start I did like her. My opinion changed though

ETA: Meant to say, I think that Hughie was rather enamoured of the Lateysha he knew from the TV show she was in - to him she was a 'celeb' and he said he watched all the reality TV shows. He may have been mixing up her on-screen persona (didn't see it, don't know what she was like, but just being on TV adds gloss to a person for some viewers) with the reality of her.

Well.. Sometimes i'm lazy and think of the thread title as accurate Anyway my posts in the thread make general points mainly!

Anyone who has a problem with that knows where my office is!!


This^^^^ out of order!

You know where my office is!

kin ell...really got you fooled hasn't he .....successful at what exactly?.....screaming till he goes purple?....not many TV outlets available for that kind of party piece...the one that encourages it has just finished and he could only manage the runner up spot........he's history ...bye baldy

I'm not fooled at all.

It's true. Looking online, people are wanting to snap him up. He's in demand, a lot more than others. I think there WILL be a show, but about his family, not about Ryan thank God. They are in talks.

I'd give up if I was you Salv. Anyone still ranting on about Hughie at this stage is as beyond reason as the saddos ranting about Jason's win on twitter.

Agreed.

I'll fess up here, I can't be ar*ed reading all the thread, so apologies in advance if I upset anyone. (Apparently a quip from me can cause a fm to go postal)

Anyhoo...the level of bitterness and vitriol from Hughie, Lateysha and Ryan fans is quite frankly hilarious.

Oh and the assumption that only middle aged woman voted for Jason is pathetic.

Those that like a lovely decent housemate picked up the phone and he won. Get over it.

Old style manners shone through. Some folk might like to take a leaf out of his book and stop bellyaching. He was a worthy winner.

Amen SB....Amen

Must say I was pleasantly surprised when Jason pipped him to the post.

Can't understand the fascination with Hughie. Maybe its an age thing?

Right back at ya KKxx

I am sure many think Jason is not a worthy winner, they want an all singing and dancing person like Lateysha or Ryan (god forbid!). I am glad Jason won in many ways, because it shows you don't need to be that type of person to win a show, and why should they all be like that? I like that there are different types of people who win. Jason won it for other reasons, and his takedown of Lateysha was spectacular. I think Hughie is entitled to an opinion and, whether it is right or wrong, I think they all have opinions on who a 'worthy' winner is. He still congratulated Jason and that is just his opinion. But in the end, Jason won and they should just move on and let him enjoy his win.

I think many viewers and certainly several of the HMs confused Jason's lust for the money with his need for survival!

I don't think taking the cash was his main reason for pressing the button - he knew that if almost anyone else pressed it, his name would come out of their mouth.

It's a competition, called a Game Show, and the aim is to stay in the game until the end.

And that's about it, really. People forget that!

The reasons for going on the show get confused for the viewers when we have massively entitled HMs like Lateysha, saying 'that money would let me do so much for my baby' as though it was hers by right.

Hopefully a lot of single parents who watch BB and hold down a job - sometimes 2 jobs - to support their kids will have been shouting at the screen 'well get a regular job then'.

Very well said Scarlett, he was definitely the only winner for me.
