Instead of being from the outside looking in...

Imagine you were in the house, living in a goldfish bowl. There are many things you would find annoying that normally you wouldn't. That's why so many things the viewers warm to, like things Corin says, or Ben's one liners and the way he always puts things off or wriggles out of things, and find these things amusing. Can you imagine living with Corin's voice 24hours a days, it would drive me bloody insane!! On the outside I love Corin, I think she's funny and genuine.

People need to try and be slightly more empathetic towards why housemates are annoyed by each other, and whether or not you care to admit it, the majority of the population has 'bitched' about someone they are supposed to be friends with at one stage or another.

Good points River. (Nice new avatar by the way)
Clearly to be in a rather claustrophobic situation, as the housemates are, must be incredibly difficult much of the time.
Because of the restrictions and lack of escape many of these minor irritations become massive.

Thanks Brisket

I do think that everything in there is magnified though. In the outside world if someone is annoying you you can watch TV, go for a walk go on the computer etc for a while, however in there none of them options are available.

Like JJ's constant moaning, whinging and starting arguments. Now that I would find hard to tolerate

I could not live in a house with all those people 24/7 you would find fault even with the nicest person in the house,they are hand picked characters and they wont all get on that is the concept of BB, as much as I dont like my own company I do like my own space which is something they have not got in the house,it must be hard for all of them.

Fair points RR.
Some of the characteristics which make someone a brilliant HM for viewers, can also make them a bit of a nightmare to live with. In addition, it is a pressure-cooker environment, where minor irritations can become major areas of conflict.
So I can understand why they all get ratty with each other, but I don't like it when they start ganging up on one HM.
