It's not even clear that she was really selected as a housemate, but she's already getting more comment than some HMs manage in a week on the show.

I already like her more than almost anyone in BB6.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I see her in the show (if she ever is in it), but for now ...

(Remember that appreciation threads are for positive comments, not slagging. There can be plenty of other threads for that.)

Come off it Veri, Imogen won't be in the house now and how can yo judge her against any other housemates? She could be the nastiest pig in the world!

Or she could be the best HM ever - I think the point Veri is trying to make is that far too many have assumend the worst for her and this is an attempt to redress the balance.

Personally , although i'm still very much undecided on her and will be for at least the next 10 days , I haven't read anything to say that she will be at all nasty but plenty to suggest that she will be victimised and is deserving of our support until we find out otherwise - remember innocent until proven guilty applies to good looking women as much as it applies to gay men

Mesostim -- no, I'm not kidding. Or, really, only partly. If there can be threads attacking her without any direct evidence whatsoever about what she'd be like as a housemate, why not one equally unfounded pointing the other way? But she does sound like someone I might like as a HM, and she's already having an entertaining and revealing effect on the forum. So there's already something to appreciate.

Micha1991 -- If she turns out to be nasty, then I will of course change my mind.

She's hardly being criticised is she...she's not even on the show yet...Assuming you will love her because she's good looking is a bit weak to be honest (really aimed at the post above yours that bit)...a full on appreciation thread based on a rumour...oh dear me no...

I think there is an assumption that she is going to be disliked purely based on her looks and this thread is countering that by loving before the fact...

This intital assumption of course is a flaw because the theory that women on BB are disliked because of their looks is generally held by their fans looking as a rationale why someone they like so much is less regarded elsewhere...

In my experience...

In fairness she has been criticised quite a bit and several (negative ) assumptions have been made on her personality so why shouldn't we be able to make a few positive assumptions .
Also ,there are frequent demands that she be kicked out for being in the press - despite the fact that genuine hms will be in hiding and therefore have no official contact with the outside world and more importantly there were two lists of 12 names each published but only the good looking women being complained about
Looks shouldn't matter either way but we both know that good looking women are criticised for their looks so why shouldn't anyone be just as shallow and love someone for their looks ?

Everything else has started two weeks early so why not the appreciation threads

I appreciate her name. I love it! Although you do have to be beautiful to pull it off. And gracefully beautiful, not sexy. Pale and such.

She's not a housemate, she's using BB to boost her career.

She's worse than Orlaith.

It's more a reaction to existing dislike already evident in other threads.

That dislike seems to be based on her being regarded as a model and a wannabee, though, rather than her looks per se. (Yet some are already drawing conclusion based on supposed similarities with Orlaith and Sam in which looks does seem to play a key role.

The first signting of "desperate" has already been made. (Evidently she has had her teeth fixed, a sure sign. )

Please remember that this is an appreciation thread.

I know some dislike such threads, and with good reason, based on some of their history; however they proved their worth during BB6 when some of the best discussions were in appreciation threads.

I like the name too.

Anyone remember Imogen Stubbs, the actress? I saw her at a film festival once, very beautiful.

Daughter of Una Stubbs wasn't she? She was in that 'Erik the Viking' movie and a few TV things...

I'm quite prickly on the whole "you hate her because she's a gorgeous woman" thing...it's a tiny step from "you're jealous" which for me is the very bottom of the debating barrel

She is Welsh and that is good enough for me

Although, her parents have been stupid for speaking out that she is going into the house. In a way, I hope she doesn't now as it ruins the whole first night.

People do seem to give a bit more leeway to the beautifically challenged though. Being good looking divides opinion more than being annoying for example, it often seems.

According to the NOTW there's a bald gay guy going in. I wonder if I should start an appreciation thread. I'm sure to like him
