Alex more obnoxious than Kate. Give me a break !!!

Willingly!

or perhaps I could have a crack at one of the 5 banned zones.

Depends on what you find obnoxious, of course.

Personally I would find boiling dirty underwear in shared saucepans pretty obnoxious, not to mention pi**ing in a shared shower.......

I would have no problem whatsoever with anyone who objected to such practices however. I certainly wouldn't consider THEM obnoxious. :sleep:

But I would consider someone who makes thoughtless remarks about the 9/11 disaster pole-axing their modelling career (like anyone with any sense of proprtion would give a toss) in their introduction video to be not only obnoxious, but thoroughly crass with it.

I did see this sometime before-not a great bit of journalism.
Not even risking a byline-but it actually said nothing new at the time either.


I did love the title though-that will have to be stored away and used again at a good time!

Sometimes the horizon .....tilts......

Precisely. Alex dumped Kate on the poor side continually - as Kate and most of the other housemates noted, it was unfair. He was the only one who tried to make her unhappy apart from the awful Sandy.. The psychologists repeatedly made the point that this represented Alex betraying his jealousy that she preferred Spenser, PJ and Jonny to him. They even suggested reasons and anyone noting Alex's discussions of his schooling or seeing his parents could suggest more. Given the oranges saga, the arguments Alex had with her friends over similar trivial issues, her dumping on the poor side and the fact that she liked all of the other candidates for eviction more (PJ, Jonny, Spenser, Sophie, Adele. Allison) Kate's only logical vote was Alex for precisely the reason she gave week after week.

Her only real choice was Alex or Jade in the last week and that was a non-event as it was clear Tim was hated by the GBP and would go if he was up against anyone. Kate's votes were completely predictable throughout and followed exactly the conclusions Allison, Kate and Sunita had made on Alex and the other boys on Sunita's last night. Indeed, as someone noted the tactical vote was always to avoid Alex in case you were up against the person who beat Spenser. Kate just voted for the people who gave her grief and Alex was the prime cause of that.
As Adele said to Alex when she found out Kate had seen through Jade before she did - Kate is a good judge of character.

so shes dating a convicted thug?

I agree -what a love-although you never seem to post much-are you a busy bee?

For goodness sake!

He didn't leave her on the poor side to make her unhappy. I doubt that he was thinking about her at all. Kate and her few remaining fans seem to think that everything has to revolve around her.

The fact is that at the time he liked Jade better so he preferred to have her with him on the rich side. It's quite simple really. He liked Jade better than Kate. And he's not alone there either. :sleep:

He knew she was coming on and like a bully took advantage of the situation gifted to him.It had been accepted that whereever possible people only spent one week on the poor side especially the girls(hence PJ was irate at Alex for breaking it the previous week).
Alex did apologise later for his conduct and that for me was one of his better moments-so it is a bit odd not to simply accept his original error -given that Alex did.No one is perfect after all.

How did he know she was coming on? Did she tell him? Or do you imagine he's psychic?

Accepted by who that people only spent a week on the poor side? Its news to me and I expect it would have been to Alex. As far as I know the task winner could choose who they liked. And Jade had also spent a week on the poor side and is a girl - or doesn't the "accepted" extend to her?! And, if not, why not?

He didn't apologise because he had no reason to do so having done nothing wrong. When he fell out with Jade (for about a week in the middle) he said that he was sorry he'd picked her and not Kate. Once he got to know Kate better he thought better of it I'm sure and was very glad he'd picked Jade. For all her faults, who wouldn't be.

Everyone new-Kate had made no secret of it.(She is open and honest about things and it was no doubt very much on her mind at the time)

Two weeks in a row i meant to say.(Everyone looked quite shocked when it happenned-even Tim must have wondered about his hero then)

He apologised to Kate when they were getting on well but she just laughed it off as she had already forgiven him anyway-ancient history-she is a very forgiving person.

"Everyone knew" did they? Alex and Kate weren't even talking and they had spent two weeks on opposite sides of the divide. But you (and Kate I expect) still think he was avidly following every intimate detail of her life from afar. Get real!

If Tim looked shocked it was because Alex didn't choose him for the rich side. He certainly wouldn't have been worried about Kate.

Like I said, he didn't apologise because he had no reason to do so having done nothing whatsoever wrong. Only those who think Kate should always be first in everything (and I'm including her in this of course as she certainly thinks so) would think that he had.

Hear Hear!

I know this is an old debate that went quiet over the new year but I knew that Alex did know that Kate was starting her period when he made his choice on 22 June.And now I find conclusive evidence from a suprising source.
As part of a slightly humourous affair on another thread I was directed onto an Emzi Hunt and came across Emzi's article of 24th June(have not had time to read them all)
I have copied it below-so Emzi has provided the evidence-I guess Emzi was not reading this thread or the information would have been offered at the time directly.
Presumably the arguement may be added to by others that-oh he knew but it was excusable because.......but at least we have cleared this little issue up(so to speak )

Welcome back to Emzi’s latest Big Brother column. Your blingin’ bitch-fest of Big Brother banter.

No harsh words for the housemates this week? Say it ain’t so!

It ain’t so - this week Adele ‘My Dad’s got six houses’ Roberts comes in for the Emzi treatment - oh yes. Despite being an independent young ‘club DJ and bodybuilder’ (that’s code for my family are so loaded, I don’t have to hold down a full time job)

(Edited for space
Interesting OTT rant against Adele )


But after the events of that fateful night, Adele looked like any boozed-up, track-suited tart you find stumbling out of a dodgy nightclub on a Saturday night looking for a bit of a brawl. The only thing missing was a taxi rank, a kebab van and a couple of bouncers to laugh at the threats of girl-on-girl violence Adele spouted. Pitiful.

Is that enough character assassination for Adele? No! If she utters another word about her Dad’s six houses, electric gates, limitless American Express cards, carbohydrates, competing in muscle contests in memory of departed loved ones or the questionable levels of her sexual experience - I’m going to start up a Kate fanclub. That’s a promise. The Big Brother Experience will take Adele from being DJ at Leeds nightclub 'Speed Queen'…back to being DJ at Leeds nightclub 'Speed Queen'.

Kate - Feminist of the Week! Or "Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny ‘monthy’ girl in brave bikini…"

Yes, this week I’m actually going to praise Kate. Not only has she been resourceful and hard working on the poor side, she finally shunned ex-housemate Stinky Spencer the ponging puntboy after it finally clicked that he didn’t want to play happy couples with her.

More than this, Kate gets my Feminist of the Week award for complaining several times of an impending ‘heavy menstrual period’ and yet wearing a tiny white bikini all week. Brave girl .Still about as genuine as those designer watches you buy from blokes with suitcases on street corners living on the poor side has sure bought the IT worker from Kent down to earth. Thankfully.

Emzi X"

QED

How long has this been niggling you Vilt ? Digging up an old thread and delving into the archives

You are probably only going to start up the whole debate again and you must know you are fighting a losing battle on this one

Still it might keep us going until BB5 starts

They weren't talking Vilt. They hadn't been talking since Alex kindly (as is his way ) pointed out to her that tossing the food on the floor when they didn't have limitless supplies wasn't a good idea and she got a strop on.

They were also on different sides of the divided house. They had been for weeks.

If she told blokes about her period (what girl would do that and why?!) it was the trio of Tossers on her own side - PJ, Spencer and Jonny. She didn't get a megaphone and broadcast it to the house in general.

Alex didn't know.

And even if he did (which he didn't) who cares! He could choose who he liked and he did.

He's wonderful.

And perhaps Adele and Jade were on their period too and too discrete to broadcast it to the house. Just a thought..... :sleep:

HI EEJAY GOOD POST
WHEN I FIRST STARTED WATCHING BIG BRO I WAS ADDICTED LOVED IT OOPS IL JUST TURN CAPS OF LOL

ohh did i sound like jade lol anyway kate was great on rise i was gutted when it finished sadly i live in the north east and didnt get to here her as a dj but io here johhny and hes ok on tfm

anyway i think kate now is great she deserves a career unlike jade who has made her million by ridiculing herself

I do sympathise. It seems quite hard that you should have to put up with Jonny.

On the other hand, its either you or us, so ......

lol darling yes sadly i have to listen to johhny while the trensy southern lot get kate

well as you ask it niggles about 1-2 days every month thank you.


it was fairly easy as I knew about the thread condition and as I said I was directed to the Emzi article by pm.

As I said QED-thanks to Emzi-not a Kate liker at all it seems-if there was not an issue he would have not had such an agonising decision would he?
Adele and Jade did indeed have periods in the house but as was obvious to anyone who watched BB3 they only ever had one single week on the poor side.(Idid think the" celebration" was rather nauseating.)
Yes he had to choose whoever he liked but he obviousely was judged on the choice -just as everyone was throughout the 9 weeks -that is the point of the programme.

Perhaps the arch inventer himself Mr Tickle could invent a special sensor that will warn when female HM's are 'coming on'.

it is called a woman's mouth and a man's ears and it was all working perfectly in week4 of BB3
