Bus fare home. 

not Dave.

Get more wine and stop fretting.

I try to base my opinions only on what I see them do in the house

Thanks you guys ...most enlightening!

A good housemate should be able to:

1. Fake leave the house, but then return immediately.
2. Be verbally aggressive to almost every female housemate.
3. Dominate long periods of air time with under-the-duvet whispering.
4. Drag women across the floor leaving them with friction burns.
5. Make female housemates cry.

Most importantly to be a good housemate you have to be well fit innit.

thanks for answering my question brisket

Spider ...I suspect you have copied and pasted the Producer's brief

I've only ever based it on what they do in the house in other series, I remember being baffled why someone said they'd gone off Pete coz they found out he was into fetish clubs.

I base my dislike on Dave mostly on what he's like in the house...which I don't like and didn't like...when I saw the other stuff it made me dislike him more...I guess it may not have added to it unless it had hit a nerve. Which it did.

well my favourite HM of all time was Glynn I loved watching him go through the BB experience. He really did it for the experience

Leccy thank you for replying to my questions ... I am genuinely interested....I do see BB as a gameshow and it's all about how they play the game for me, but I am interested in others' points of view.

He was indeed on a journey!

I would have agreed with you for every single series bar this one   To be fair (to myself ) I DID dislike Dave anyway...this is just like the hate-cherry on top of my already loathe filled and intolerantly iced cake.

You have a wonderful way with words .... I could prepare similar baked goods in JJ's honour ....although I suspect mine would be topped with a prune

The ones that make me smile, or laugh, or sometimes weep silently into my perfumed handkerchief.

Like Leccy, I don't usually take any interest in what I hear of their lives outside, as it's usually tabloid bollox, but, if they choose to put it on youtube.......   

There's evidence to the contrary in the Jo-West Indian Woman thread

A HM is only as good as the camera time/editing they get. BB controls everything.

You could be doing with lending it to Josie!  It could have made a huge difference to how I see her

or a snuff scented one

actually I also really liked the journey Ashleen went on too...........another one of my favs

Hoochie Hallo!
In past years , and for the most part this year, it's what people do/ how people are in the house for me. This year though ( and I'm getting to the  stage about it!) Dave's really rattled my cage ! I think if I wasn't aware of some of his activities outwith the house , I'd probably just see him as a mildly annoying " you don't have to be mad to work here but it helps" look -how-zany-I-am type, but  my views are really coloured by some of the interwebby stuff that's out there and I find myself shouting at the telly when he slimes into view ( well I did till I stopped watching!) . Thing is , he probably is a fairly "good" housemate in that he can be funny at times, and is playing the game pretty well.. but I can't get past the outside info!
