Well only if not minding making a bit of a tit of yourself is who you are. Its a reality show and I guess we saw the real Ricky. It contradicts "this is a reality show" if people do things just because it is expected because they are in a reality show. To act like a performing monkey is not very real for many people. They are fuflilling the brief much better if they do what their sensibility guides them to do because that is reality.
Well yes, except for the fact that he's an actor. That's his reality. Surely he could have ACTED the most outrageous? |

He didn't want to do it so he didn't. I respect the fact that he wasn't going to be coerced into doing something that may have made him feel uncomfortable. Not everyone likes doing that type of thing.

Bear could be criticised for always spoiling the tasks but if it is him and he wants to be an idiot, then fine but no one should critisise Ricky for not wanting to do a task. |

Ricky is such a party pooper, even if he thought Frankie was going to win he could have still had a go even Lewis shaved a lock of his hair & he probably knew bear was going to win but still had a go.

I honestly think he's been humiliated enough this last year with that woman selling footage of him naked. Maybe it's still a sore point.

I don't watch soaps so had never heard of him before CBB but I like Ricky and I get him. |

I'm not high on Ricky, but reading this thread, why the eff did Eastenders kill Fat Boy off? he was like the only halfway funny character in that miserable show.

He's not earning his fee at all
If he doesn't want to be 'humiliated' then why the hell did he go on BB ? |

I did. You saw what Frankie did. Ricky knew what Frankie was going to do, it was set up for Frankie. Why would Ricky humiliate himself? I respect him for not doing so.

I don't think we've seen Ricky topless at all have we? He knew he'd have to take some clothing off to do that task, he wasn't going to do that.

I agree. If being a bit of a show off isn't who he is, why would he compromise his personal principles just to do a task that he was never going to win anyway?

I thought he was exactly as he has been throughout the show - A wet blanket.
Could he actually get any more boring? ![]() |

(Or ridiculous half-hearted attempt to be ''out-there'' as I would call it) Better to not do it at all, than look pathetic. Good for Ricky. |

EXACTLY!
The rest thrive on getting naked, talking nonsense, fake relationships, getting drunk and doing silly things. Ricky, boring or not, is an actor and he was a good one especially as Fatboy was the total opposite of who he is in real life. People also forget that Eastenders has a huge cast and has a serious work culture plus the whole moral code in the contract so they do tend to keep a low profile. Even Jacqueline Josia who is with that ex-Towie, Dan doesn't get too involved in all that reality stuff. With the exception of Daniella W, I personally have respect for Eastenders actors as its substance over style (most of the time). So it is not surprising that he is a bit like dear in head lights and probably finding it really hard with all these extreme characters in the house. He probably doesn't interact with loads of so called celebrities normally and hasn't been on many shows. I can imagine it being intimidating on all counts. Plus the guy was depressed! I think its so brave of someone to come out and try to pull himself out of the darkness and take the plunge to do this. BB is not for the faint hearted and I don't think we will truly understand until we actually sit in the house and have to hear people screaming at nothing, every word you say, analysed and twisted plus people pulling out their boobs and willies at every given opportunity, ![]() |

Well as I keep trying to say perhaps because he takes Reality TV a bit literally and assumed it was about being his real self. I suspect if it had had 'Humiliation TV' on the tin he wouldn't have accepted the invitation.
you're quite right; sometimes I actually forget reality does indeed just mean being real not necessarily bells & whistles entertaining, shame on me.

Frankie was going to win anyway. I would have done the same. No reason to sully myself just to lose when there is no prize at stake.

Yeah I didn't get why he didn't do it.
I could imagine if he did do it other people would be making post saying he is so desperate to win blah blah blah. |
