I'd never be on the same side as Whale or Saira. Biggins, Grant and Sam I can cope with.

On the other team Heavy D & Bear are an embarassment.

So I'm split both ways.

I don't want to be team anything to be honest.

And #TeamSquad was probably trending for a few reasons and none because of CBB. Mostly it seems to be about the Suicide Squad film or a hashtag to use as a shout-out to your friends.
Search for CBB Squad however and you can see them taking a bashing tweet after tweet.

Though it's been a revelation for me to find out how much I dislike the word squad.

Without TeamSquad there would be no drama - everything would be dull and uneventful.

There is a little substance here most of the towie lot are all middle class hence why the support never turns into winning votes.

Geordie Shore is a different matter though working class kids see the fame and fortune the likes of Crosby Patterson and Scotty t and Marnie get through this show and feel this is achievable rather than working in regular jobs . This is why the support for these people is astronomical in a vote to win.

Now if Marnie was a contestant on the regular one and didn't have the Geordie Shore fame might be slightly different

I consider myself normal I was brought up in a council house in a rough part of town. We had nothing but we were taught how to be polite and how to treat people. We knew how to have fun but not at the expense of others feelings.

There seems to be no option for; "I would never support such a bunch of vaccuous, talentless, cruel and thick housemates"?

I guess that is why so few people are voting.

Please fix this.

Biggies and Whale are the snooty establishment figures not to be trusted.

Hi there Nigel Farage!
Farage is the White Whale's best mate, so wouldn't be slagging him?

It seems more and more people on DS (after each series) seem to want a dull house full of old tea drinkers moaning about the British weather for a month.

It's just sad. BB is all about big personalities and big entertainment. #teamsquad is bringing it big style.

The poll has a range of options pick one option that best suits you. It's hardly rocket science.

Just looking at twitter and #Teamsquad has nothing to do with Big Brother.

But it is biased and assumes we have a modicum of like for them. I dislike all of them so where is that option?

The establishment celebrities such Christopher Biggins and James Whale look down on the likes of Lewis, Bear and Marnie and don't even think of them as celebrities. They have a complete and utter disdain for them and find the idea of having to share an entertainment platform with them utterly repulsive.

The squad members are normal people like you and me. They are standing up against the establishment figures, poking them, shaming them, and having fun in their faces. They largely come from normal, unprivileged backgrounds and their success in the entertainment business is typically against all odds.

Most viewers are ordinary working class blokes and women and will get behind the non-establishment celebrities.

This is also why #teamsquad is trending on Twitter at the moment.

#teamsquad are the people.

Is it heavy? That chip on your shoulder?

What have James and Saira done so far that's turned you against them? (Just wondering.)

I can't contribute to the poll as unfortunately there isn't "never in a million years" option.

a squad is more than a team, I think with only five members this squad must play tiddlywinks

There's no 'never' option on this poll so I can't vote. As far as I'm concerned they're worse than trash.

Yes.

The OP is incredibly insulting to the working classes imo

I suggest he or she do some research on social history before suggesting that TV reality morons somehow represent the ''anti-establishment'' working classes.

Normal people like you and me?

Like you maybe, I have never been like that. Aggressive, chavvy, scummy behaviour is not ever something I've aspired to.
