I don't think it is fair to say though that if you don't believe Ziggy 100% and don't think he is perfect then you don't appreciate him. I am a well educated lady in her mid-twenties. I have been through a fair bit when I was younger and none of my friends would call me naive. Most consider me upfront, honest and always balanced in my opinions. In fact my friends ask me for advice as they state that I always give an honest, unbiased opinion, which they respect. this probably comes from my job, where I cannot be biased, cannot ignore different sides of stories and always need to listen to two sides of a story and form a balanced opinion. So if people find my opinions non-glossy that is why.
I have never idolised bands/pop stars, have had exposure to self harming (through friends), domestic violence and been cheated on in the past. It is for this raeson I have strong opinions and some reservations about that side of Ziggys story.
As much as I enjoyed watching Ziggy in BB and following him outside, I do recognise he isn't perfect and I find it wrong to not appreciate him for his flaws as well as his good qualities. But that is just me. I saw a kind, well-mannered, polite, if somewhat deep and complicated person in the house. But he also was paranoid (which he admitted to), often put his faith in the wrong people and took advice without really listening to the people closest to him with his best interest. So it wouldn't surprise if agents had convinced him it was in his best interest to be single and that Chanelle was "mugging him off". But just because the agents said it, doesn't automatically make it true.
He also did get jealous and seemed to be constantly worried about being mugged off by convincing himself Chanelle fancied or was going to go off with someone else. And despite what he says, this is jealousy as this is exactly how I am in relationships. So it wouldn't surprise me if he did have a problem with Chanelle going to CW with the likes of Jack Tweedy and Calum Best there. He never seemed to fully trust Chanelle, despite her support in the house. Therefore, you have to wonder if he has been cheated on in the past or "mugged off in the past". He also made the comment to Liam/Carole that he felt a little jealous at the thought of Chanelle going out with other guys after her return visit.
He also was a little controlling in the house. ie. regarding Chanelle and the spots, telling Chanelle who to trust and not to trust. Not in a bad way. i think he honestly believed it was in her best interests. And my boyfriends are sometimes a little controlling and this isn't a big problem unless done in malice, which I don't think has ever been the case. I certain agree with Ziggy regarding the glamour modelling. He has always maintained that he was proud of Chanelle's intelligence, violin playing, singing voice and linguistics so can see why he would have been disappointed in the direction the agent seemed to be taking her and DS/Nuts covers.
Ziggy doesn't always seems to have a great deal of confidence in his abilities. I remember a conversation I saw Ziggy have with Chanelle in the hosue, where he came across very vulnerable. He was chatting to Chanelle and thought she wasn't really listening to him and said something like "are you not listening to me? Sometimes I don't think I am a very interesting". Chanelle told him not to be silly and kissed him. Then, there was the time about the Guru task where he was excited at being thought "intelligent". He also regularly changed his mind about what he wanted to do etc... in the house, which shows he is indecisive.
He also jumped into things quickly without fully thinking things through in BB. Often in an attempt to always be seen as a nice guy. He seems to have a real need to always be perceived as a nice, perfect boyfriend. ie. relationship with Chanelle gtting very deep very quickly and then out of the house moving in after a few weeks (after stating he wanted to take things slowly), dumping Chanelle on Caroles advice, boasting to Liam about his exploits with Chanelle. I can go into others. But the thing about Ziggy was that he always came through, showed remorse about his mistakes and went out of his way to correct them and redeem himself. This being said, in an attempt to "redeem" himself, he was sometimes a little economical with the truth or at least seemed to have his own version of events. ie. Charley. He also says himself he is crap at relationships. But Chanelles tantrums must be hard to deal with at times and I can believe a bottle was thrown, but not meant to hit him.
Anyway, just wanted to try and give you a little perspective on what I saw. As I said, I don't think Ziggy is a bad person. I just think he is one of these guy that acts impulsivel without always thinking the consequences through or sometimes overthinks things to the point of paranoia, which are conflicting character traits, which would not surprising result in confusion from family and friends and thoughts of his "somewhat complicated character". Sometimes I think if Ziggy would just be himself and not worry what other people think so much or worry about how he was perceived, he'd be better at realising what he really wants to do and make decisions to make himself happy, rather than what is easier or expected. Certainly, whoever advised him to do NOTW did not advise him well as he certainly hasn't benefited from it and it has given him more negative publicity than positive and it has given him the loverat tag he has spent months getting rid of
good morning.
