Fair enough. But there is also the possibilty of clearly stating that this is the PERSONAL view of whoever is posting and not an official one.

I think it is important to put in that disclaimer in the hope it will not make you all look like hypocrites.

Now for me to be a hypocrite: Thanks DS and all the staff for a great Forum this year. See yer again in 2003.

The words Grapes and Sour spring to mind, can't think why?

Any of the winners would have been the wrong one to many people. Personally I don't think any of them shone too well.
So Kate didn't say thanks to Jade, maybe she will when she sees the whole episode on tape. Maybe she already has, we weren't watching and listening 24/7. Jade had much to thank Kate (and Jonny) for but I don't (a haven't) hear you pointing that out. If it were not for Kate Jade may well have walked when no one but Kate was talking to her. As to the Pork scratchings, a bit weak isn't it. Said as a JOKE, and one that Jade heard. How can you profess to know what Jade feels about it? I verbally abuse my friends wife all the time (and she me) we are the best of mates I assure you and we know it's a joke.
Sorry but cleaning up someones puke does not a BB winner make.

Emzi I almost totally agree, Kate, as an IT contractor on (according to her) 30k+ is not exactly skint, and she is definitely adept at public relations (ok I'm being nice here). The way she has behaved at times n the house has been awful (and I am not averse to the odd pint and game of pool myself) , BUT I wouldn't puke all over the place and let someone else clean it up. Kate was particularly weak-willed to my mind. She could not have coped without someone to hold her hand, and Jade showed in the past couple of weeks that she can. Kate needed constant reassurance, and Jade coped with constant derision from her fellow HM's.

Sarah
apologies for typos, I had more to type but I have to go cos the baby is awake.

I totally agree with you, I was thinking exactly the same thing. Alex wasn't my fav, but him behind the door was funny, talking to the chickens etc...natural humour as opposed to the forced humour of Kate, she is one of those people who I neither hate nor love, every 'funny' moment of Kates includes other people and relying on their humour to back her up.

How did I miss out on getting lectured.
Damn I miss all the fun!

Fallyhag perhaps if your re-read your post it would explain a lot.
Chill out a bit for gods sake. No-one was forcing you to express your views in this forum the way you have been doing.

LK does the Peace and Love sign

Yep, I agree.

I've got to say that though I liked and even admired Kate that the reasons I watched avidly this year were Jade and Alex. They both made me laugh (frequently) and cry on occasion. I found them both fascinating charactors. That said I salute Kate for a game well and honestly played.

On another note I think that the eviction shows have not been as good this year. Tonight was a bit shambolic, after seemingly endless crowd interviews everything else seemed rushed. Also I do wish Davina (much as I like her ) would lay off imposing her views on the contestants by very leading questions...

'You do love her.....'
'You had a soft spot for...'
'You were happiest...
et al

Finally- Kate is a great looking girl, normally very stylish. I think she may come to regret that eviction outfit!

uuuhhhmmm.....yeah, good one????

Who are you and where did you spring up from. Its all over now so......well nothing really, just go away

Bye

All this "performing arts student", "actress" stuff is rediculous!!
She did A level drama for gods sake!
I did A level psychology (I'm not a psychologist), A level maths (I'm no mathematician) and A level history (you get my drift......).

I find it bit disappointing and odd that I could vote for Alex after the voting had closed when he was the next one to leave. In my mind this seems fraudulant. What do you think?

I won't say that I am disappointed with the result,but...please excuse me while I go and slit my wrists............er no smilies !!!!!!!

I'd definatly have prefered Jade or Alex to have won as the two most interesting characters, but they did'nt and to be fair I have no big problem with Kate winning and I wouldn't of with any of the four finalists although I would of if it was Tim who had won.

Was'nt Jade just great with Divina, I think she is a STAR in the making

You are so right. I am devastated at tonights result - the sad thing is that she will be forgotten in a few weeks time. Once the public get tired of her pretty smile they will realise that there's nothing else to her !

Yes its very clear to me now.

Never mind .... you will hopefully be in a better frame of mind by next year and learned some manners.

LK - won't stick her tongue out.

Agree - she is no actress. She proved that during the show.

Not really, as anyone should have known he didn't stand a chance anyway.

While I think she deserved to win as she played the game very well, I don't think she should have, simply because as people have said, she didn't win due to being outstanding but due to being less charismatic than the others and so there was less to dislike about her. My dad watched the final tonight, and from the little he's seen of BB this year he said
'She won because she's ordinary. Alex and Jade just weren't ordinary enough, were they?'
The fact that they stood out to him immediately, for their flaws as well as their positive traits makes them the memorable housemates this year, regardless of who won.

LK - YOU ROCK

It's not ridiculous to assume that she want's a career in acting though, and she does display a talent for mimickry.
Her Father said on RI:SE, that she wants to act in films.

No matter how you look at it she's a wannbe actor,and faked it right to the end. She lied about the follow the van thing.

Yes, good luck to her you may say, but it doesn't escape the fact that she must have learnt enough about acting for her Father to say she's talented enough to appear in feature films.

So it's not ridiculous.

Amazing revelation - Big Brother is a popularity contest nothing more.

I'm probably from the same era as your Dad. he talks alot of sense. Good post - that just about says it all.

To be fair a diploma in Performing Arts alone could get you a job as an actress etc. On the other hand an A level in Psychology alone is hardly going to get you a job as an Psycholigist.

I know. Although I hope Kate enjoys her moment. I have to say it sets a bad precedent for next year.

Jade's interview looked like the interview of the winner. Her interview would have finished the show on a real high.

I didn't feel emotional this time.

Exactly my feelings..u beat me to it !

nor me - lousy final.

phone still on redial
