Seemingly most people who voted think that anyone interesting or talented or intelligent is not worth anything anymore...
Rather pathetic.
Yes, Chantelle is nice and sweet and happy... but **** me I'd much rather have Pete, George, Rula, Faria or even Maggot round for dinner. At least I could talk to them about something.”
Were the others so interesting, talented, or intelligent that they ought to win a show that - we're told again and again - is "about personality"?
In any case, Chantelle handled a number of difficult situations very well in a house in which the supposedly more intelligent people often behaved deplorably.
If you couldn't talk to Chantelle about anything, that says something about you as well as about her.
I'd much rather have her round for dinner than Pete, George, Rula, Faria or even Maggot.
itsnotcricket has expressed the case for Chantelle very well, IMO.
