They have done well to get all three of themselves to the final.

However the tactics discussion is what will ultimately have them beat as the gbp wont take their discussions chat too well and it will go against them and probably keep them 4th to 6th

Nice way to try to explain away the xenophobia that the "Great" British Public has for Americans.

That's fine...I will continue to know the famous Americans back here in the States and the British HMs can entertain you lot across the pond. Bear is the lowest paid, so I don't really get what he wins or achieves to brag about anyway.

I know the tactics discussion is a normal part of bb in the USA but it won't go down well here especially with Aubrey who will get huge boos

That's fine...and then in the interview with Emma she will kick @ss, which to me matters more.

I don't know. They have my admiration for fighting back tonight. It must have been a nightmare living with that idiot all this time.

True, they don't stand a chance, Ashley Roberts should have beaten Charley Brooks in IAC. Gary Busey was an abberation because he was badly treated.

The Americans said some seriously nasty stuff on live feed tonight ... and they were revelling in it triumphantly !

Depending on how it is edited it could go badly for them

I know. The British seem to esteem vile, disgusting behavior, and loath people playing a game they've been hired to play.

Very odd priorities.

The Americans know they are unlikely to win so they may as well get as much angst out as possible between now and the final. Give Bear a rotten few days after the amount he's given everyone else. Sam couldn't stand Bear either so it's not just the Americans annoyed with him. I'd make his last few days a misery as he's probably going to win anyway.

I found Katie's explanation on BOTS of her behavior very interesting and paints Aubrey in a very negative light. I believe Katie's explanation on BOTS and it explains her reaction on the HL (no longer seems OTT). The LF also showed how personal Aubrey could be with her nasty comments. Definitely not banter and very directly malicious. I do admit to being biased against her from my perception of her behavior on The Celebrity Apprentice which I perceived to be bullying (not a WUM but a bully imo). She is beautiful, intelligent and talented but I find her to have a very large mean streak. On this show, CBB, I didn't like her behavior toward Bear, Katie, and even Frankie (not a fan of his but I didn't like her throwing him under the bus to Katie and her calling him fake....even if he is fake you don't have to say it to someone's face especially on camera if they are a friend).

Well sure, be!ieve her. I mean she's shown herself to have such a great grasp on.reality. Not.

I don't perceive HMs as either American or Brit.

I just judge on who I like.

As for the GB public? Don't make me laugh!

What small percentage of them watch, let alone vote?

Katie's explanation is the only way it makes sense unless she is lying or delusional. I don't think she is "crazy". Maybe she was gaslighted (term??) but even I don't think Aubrey would do that. I'm trying to understand Katie's reaction. However, I do wonder why Aubrey would tell Katie that Frankie was nominating her...that seems strange (I don't see any good or malicious reason for her to do this so I can't make sense of that part of the explanation).

I'm not a Katie fan*...she was boring imo and I didn't like how she handled Boom's questioning of her and I didn't like her nominating Ricky then kissing his ass).

I'm not a fan* of Katie, Aubrey or Frankie but I do admit that Aubrey & Frankie (both of whom I don't like) have contributed to the entertainment of the show.

*regarding being a fan or not being a fan....I can usually find good and bad things to say about all the HMs and don't see any of them as pure good or pure bad. This isn't directed at you but just a disclaimer since some people seem see some HMs as just good or bad or evil or vile (some have done vile stuff or good stuff but that is just one or more behavior and doesn't encompass the HM as a whole or even their entertainment value imo)

I will go insane if I have to live with him.. I will go to murder someone.. Well, I guess that must be wimp bear

They were going to be 4th to 6th anyway. It's very difficult for an American to win unless their name is Gary Busey and they receive a favourable edit.

I'm not fussed that they're American, they seem ok but they are definitely a bit of a unit. Surviving in a group like that has backfired somewhat because their vote demographic will be split. Had they survived alone they'd have more of the share of votes for who supports them. Taking out Bear's group has only served to help him and Marnie.

Id be surprised is Aubrey isnt first out

Gary Busey won because he was wonderfully eccentric and is a true Hollywood star, not because he was badly treated or because he had a favourable edit.

I couldn't care less about housemates' nationality.

I liked Gary or should I say I liked what I saw of Gary but everyone in that house seemed to have had a problem with him and I don't think that can be a coincidence. I think there was a lot we didn't see and that's my opinion.

Possibly, but a housemate's perspective is quite different from a viewer's perspective. A lot of the housemates I have liked over the years have not been particularly popular with their housemates, but they appealed to me as a viewer.

They have done really well. You're probably right re their placing but I'd love to see Renee & Frankie in the top 3. Renee in particular has been a great HM.
