CheeseMaster,,,, you accused me yesterday of hi-jacking a thead, it appears to me you are doing exactly so here. You are not a fan of Pete's you made that clear on a thread this morning, so why are you on here?
Hi everyone.........keeep voting.

I think some people will do anything to make Pete lose support. I'm used to all the slagging off of him on this forum, so I'm glad there are other people still here who've stuck by him

Pete to win!

"This is an appreciation thread, no negatives allowed on such a thread thank you"

I counted that as telling someone to bugger off. If it wasn't then fine, I apologise for taking issue with it.


I don't mind at all about the way you post, I just felt that a better tactic would be to just ignore them rather than telling people to go away.


Frankly, it doesn't matter a jot. You have an ignore button and I certainly would never want to force people to do anything on a forum

I am not a fan of Petes, but you have to equally accept that I'm not a fan of any of the housemates. I am on here to make points the points I have made so far, and to read the other side of the debate about Pete ( given some of you are too timid to stick up for him in threads ) to try and reach a balanced view.

Hijacking a thread is deliberately throwing a different subject in it entirely that is contentious, like say for example, bringing up the Lebannon and Isreali conflict. In this context, if I started banging on about Glyn and Wales that would be hijacking.

You are so good with words. I was not hi jacking either.

Pete would never lose my support at this stage of the show, unless he did something drastic that warranted it. He hasn't done yet and I don't expect he will do My support has only changed in who I like 2nd etc; in reaction to how they have behaved.

Whatever the outcome on Friday, I can't see my opinion of Pete changing to be honest. And will probably for a while follow how he is doing away from the BB house. I wish him well whatever happens this Friday He got/gets on with most of the BB household and I can quite easily see him staying in touch with quite a few

Yes i agree with you .

Hi Belsa, fellow Pete supporter

Pretty words can mean nothing though Belsa, however some may choose to tie them up with pretty bows All we need to remember is this is an appreciation of Pete thread And if the appreciation isn't there of Pete, then why are some posting on this thread who are not appreciating him unless to try and cause conflict on this lovely thread. There are plenty enough threads out there to do that I believe.

We can just carry on and keep up the Pete support on this lovely thread at least

This is a good one... giving advice, being a friend, funny... Just some of the reasons we'll be voting for Pete to Win!

Methinks one of the reasons that people like (or dislike..) Pete is that he is not easily categorised - hence the constant scrabble to discredit him.
He is not defined by his tourettes, and some people really do want to just put him in that box, because it is easier than unravelling the complex character that he really is. Pete is certainly the thinking persons choice... you liked him on a hunch, he has charisma, yes... but, as we know he has sustained the interest of the viewers and of his fans, most of whom have liked him since the beginning. If he were one dimentional, he would not have been able to achieve such a strong and loyal fan base - and picked up many other 'conversions' along the way!
You can't bring him down... or us Pete fans.

A lot of Pete fans are feeling that way now... The mask is starting to slip, hooray.

Hi Susann, yep you are right.... let's all still keep on supporting Pete, feel he's having a rough deal on the threads at present. So keep on voting , i for one am not gonna give up on him.

Undermining the fundemental principles of a thread is also hijacking. It is more of a passive/aggresive tactic, granted and can be viewed as establishing debate. But, whether you are aware of it or not, people on a thread such as this, will have already discussed, debated and considered the hms in order to decide where their support should lie.
By trying to start 'debate' here (or on any other appreciation thread) you will be met with resistance, because you are trying to undermine the basic principles of the thread and the reasons why the thread was established.
This is hijacking, because it steers away from the specific topic and, pointedly, upsets the thread users who are using the thread to support (in this instance) Pete and eachother.

Oh well said trinsk...wish i had said that.

In case you haven't had time to read or realised what an appreciation thread is about

Beautifully put Trinsk

We will have to link this thread to Pete's MySpace, so he can read all the support posts on here

good link Susann!! We should stick it on every page!!

PETE TO WIN!!

and (((our thread)))

i really do love pete and want him to win but whats with the allovasudden obsession to win>??

I like Pete and I'd be happiest to see him win. And the last few days haven't changed anything for me personally, other than make me think he's more of a space cadet than I first thought.

But, for example, when I was younger the God stuff would have had me recoiling away him quite quickly. Back then, I liked my world black and white and things like a belief in was God was too grey and something I dismissed as only for losers.

And if you look at some of the fanatics, they appear not to accept any wrong in their favourite. They cope with the reality that everyone has bad sides by either putting their head in the sand, twisting things to make a negative a positive, or dumping their idol. Maybe some of that is what's going on for Pete.

Alternatively, the wave of support for Ash seems huge and people, particularly young people, love to belong. Maybe being a supporter of Pete is a bit too lonely on the forums for some ?

There's two reasons I can think of for the apparent fickleness but I'm sure there are more. I'd be fascinated to know the age of various posters.

Incidently, I think the fans and their response to BB is more interesting than what's going inside the House most of the time, this year in particular.

I'm making the PETE TO WIN!! telephone number banner for my car now before I go out!! (Don't worry, I'm doing it on the computer properly... not bubble writing/colouring!! - which, incidently was how they 'penned' the sign for 'Passport control' when my daughter was at Rhodes airport!! Bizarre!!)
Back later guys X

Catch ya later Trinsk. Good luck with the banner and drumming up that support for Pete

Good idea, sounds like Pete needs all the support he can get. I think tonight's highlights will finish him, especially when the public get to see him still obsessing over Aisleyne's speech in the early hours of the morning - and he then tried to manipulate the viewers once again by saying 'Oh Glyn will win anyway, nothing ever goes wrong for him' etc.

I'm hoping they show her in the bath calling herself 'pathetic' then taking something out of the corner of her eye and adjusting her hair .... her face was emotionless.

If she loses it will be called a 'fix' and if she wins it will be because 'she sooooo deserves it'. You know I think I have lost the will to live.

More votes for Pete and a couple for Richard.

Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away
