Well Saira who lived with them has said they do nothing, they dont offer opinions anything and they want to coast through. Thats why Im more on team "Knob squad" than the "boring squad". Ricky practically summed all of them up when he called out "security" when a little plastic tree was knocked over. All they actually do (when we do see them) is bitch about the other 4. On pretty much all the LF's Ive seen, the rest sit in the bedroom bitching about the other 4 whilst Marnie, Lewis, Bear and Chloe simply just have a laugh and dont even mention the others.”
I don't know if it's down to intelligence either, Lewis has got something going on behind the eyes but he's not a nice person.
I'm not particularly liking any of the others either tbf, I don't like Ricky's white knight thing he's doing with all the camp 'babes' and 'honey's he adds at the end of most sentences. Aubrey's a nasty piece of work, Sam takes herself too seriously, James is an opinionated shock jock who's still a grumpy old man (self-proclaimed). I could do a list for all of them if I had the time or inclination.
The point is none of the others are willfully antagonising, rude, arrogant, aggressive or any other of the adjectives I've used before.
I'm bored of the whole situation, everything and with the KS monopolising the screentime we're seeing nothing else and IT'S BORING.
Now if you'd come back to me and said, yeah the 'boring' housemates are so full of themselves, they need taking down a peg or two I could at least understand where you're coming from but this travesty of a show isn't entertaining for me and this kind of ugliness for the sake of airtime is pretty despicable IMHO. If they're behaving as they are because it's who they are then that's even worse.
It's up to the producers to give them something to do to show their personalities and let the feelings evolve and clashes happen naturally, not send a load of alcohol and watch the shitstorm unfold.
