Sooooo, I've watched BB from the beginning.....and I'm still watching! I loved the original concept, because I've always been interested in human behaviour and, I suppose just plain 'people watching.' The programme/concept has changed beyond all recognition, (and tbf, not just by C5,) we no longer have lf, blah, blah, blah, but what I'm struggling with is: I've always favoured the ones that I simply, 'liked.' I think (maybe?) that, if I am to stay engaged, that I need to move on and begin to 'like' people for their machiavelianism....any tips as to how to do that?

Can't help soops - I've given up with it
I have stopped watching the show for the reasons you stated "The programme/concept has changed beyond all recognition".
Sorry, what are you asking Sooops?
Not watching it Soops, like you I always wanted the ones I liked to win. If I can't make my own mind up by watching them interact. I can't drum up any enthusiasm to watch it
Sorry, what are you asking Sooops?
How do you 'like' people for being plain machiavellian....rather than 'cos they're 'nice' people?

In the context of BB (as in life I guess) the game players come undone under pressure, and sometimes that can be satisfying to observe. I'm actually quite enjoying C5's version and find it similar to the last couple of offerings from C4.

i'm with you there Suzy....But some actually 'like like' them if that makes sense...can't get my head around why so many 'like' Aaron

I like him. I like the fact that he appears to be keeping a lid on any histrionics to get himself noticed. Do you find him machiavellian? I find Mark's Forrest Gump act a little more sinister at the moment.

That's the angle I'm coming from too.
Let me state for the record, even when I've supported a HM I haven't necessarily wanted to know them! They're there to serve a purpose.... for the duration of the show. That said, Aaron seems to avoid the t*ts and arse merchants, doesn't appear to want to semi combust proving his testosterone levels, and maybe - MAYBE might just have a bit of semi-intelligent conversation to offer.
If he wants to make a game of BB then that's fine by me too. Looking at the inmates, I'd probably resort to that tactic too.
Aaaah interesting Mister Jer...i serspect some of the luurve f the Aaron one is f similar reasons as fer t luurve for the Rex one

MMMM sweetie, dunno...if I had to spend an evening with either I'd go for the Aaron one , obviously, much more interesting blah blah, but trust anything about him...as far as I could bloody throw him
Ha ha, I'd make 'friends' with the young 'uns...maybe I'm more machiavellian than I think!
Opium of the people
See, I think he appears above all of that, but when there's the top 'tits n arse' prize to be won...he'll win it....
I don't know, it's hard to help because it's such a subjective thing but I have always been someone who appreciates the open gameplayers; most notoriously Makosi who I thought was really one of the best HM's ever (until she jumped the shark by declaring she was preggers).
I think it's because I feel they are less shallow than the people who go in there to get a record deal/presenting job/ show off their 'talent' in the broadest possible sense of the word. I don't exclusively appreciate the game players, I also appreciate the nice but bright type as well, like Eugene but I think that most of the people I have liked over the years have tried to play the BB game and I think that adds to the programme and makes it more interesting
Can't help you, Supes.
I always like the 'nice' ones, especially if they make me laugh.
Aaron appears to be rather cold and arrogant, but, without live feed, I am having trouble getting to know any of them.
Yup, as LLF says 'nice' is incredibly subjective. I remember thinking at the time that it was quite nice of Rex to pal up with the rejects of the 'cool' group Mo and Darnell. Rex is still firm friends with them, years after the BB madness was over.
