I think must be one of the dullest and most boring housemates I have ever seen in any series of Big Brother.
I simply cannot understand the bookies making him 2nd favourite.
I find him dull in the extreme.
I do prefer him to some of the nast-minded housemates, but charisma he has not and entertainment value is minimal.

I do, I do

You're allowed to say he's boring, you're allowed to say you can't stand him, if that's how you feel.

Do you think he'd want to be patronised?

I prefer him to the grrrrrrr HM's,  but can't actually see that he adds anything much to the house...  And while I agree about the editing, he doesn't really seems to do a lot in the LF I've watched either.

I wasn't patronising him, I was just covering myself for anyone who thought I was being callous - in this day and age some people will call you for saying anything negative about someone in a minority group!!

I haven't seen enough of him to judge, yet.

He's dull yes.  Maybe he'll pick up once the drama calms down.

I don't think you would have started a thread saying "Please don't take this the wrong way but Nathan is boring" would you?

And for the bolded bit, no.  If you said you didn't like him because of his disability then people rightly would have called you.

No.

Moomin, you're cool, understand exactly what you are saying I haven't seen him do anything contentious, funny or anything at all really. He's just there.

The nearest he came to doing anything interesting was when he tried to tell them to all stop the noms talk last night, but once Shabby started arguing back, and the Ben *fight* kicked off, he just went quiet again.

Fairfax -

But my post might be misconstrued as saying he was a waste of a housemate and boring because he can't run around and join in things in quite the same way as the other housemates.

Moomin, I never took it that way

He is not entertaining and rather dull but it is early days he seems genuine enough but at the moment he is very boring...

Fair enough Moomin perhaps I was being a bit touchy.  I've just watched another Dave video which has upset me so...

Sorry

And I now actually HATE Dave, really hate him. *sigh*

You're totally spot on here 

I'm glad someone else has said this as I have been feeling the same but was afraid to post it for exactly the same reasons as you - and this is coming from a disabled person.

The most interesting thing he does is snore  although to be fair to him he does help with the household chores and takes as active a part as he can with all the tasks.  More than some housemates I won't mention!  I also understand from his point of view how tiring moving around might be and with pain added on top he would get tired easily so would need to sit more.

but as a person I think he's naturally boring and I would suspect he was like this prior to the dreadful injuries he suffered.  His whole life seems to have revolved around the army which obviously played a big part in his life.  What happened to him is both dreadful but equally fascinating but once you've heard it there's nothing else left to say.  He doesn't seem to want to engage actively in any of the banter for whatever reason and that's what makes him a boring housemate in my eyes 

I hope no one is offended with what I've said as most of what I say these days seem to be misconstrued 

Pengy - that's just it - you have put it all very well

sorry can't do the double posting thingy  but I agree with what you've said here Leccy    I'd be first in the queue.

Pengy as with Moomin all I can say is there is absolutely no offence taken. I know how careful you have to be when discussing disability, race etc.
I absolutely 100% agree with your assessment of Steve. I'm hoping that in time with gobby, minging Shabby out of the way he may show a bit more personality.

Great post Pengy...

S'ok leccy - I'm feeling extra-sensitive today, so I might have been overly self -defensive. Believe me, I have met people who would have told me I was being discriminatory.

  <--- 


 < ------- we can only hope that with Shabby gone the housemates may blossom.  Perhaps Steve is waiting to see how things settle down and is getting the lie of the land so to speak.  Maybe when he's more comfortable, he'll open up more 

One will have to hope that gobby minging Shabby will be out of there soon then - hope she is up again next week - it's beginning to feel like the Shabby Show atm.

yep.

He bores me rigid but he will be there forever because they will all shy away from nominating him.

i think hes a lovely bloke, but i also think hes struggling around this nut house.

Had high hopes of the fact he's a father of 8, at least he could contribute with a  bit of parental advice to the l'enfants terriblés, maybe at least give an opinion now and again.  Unfortunately he's doing absolutely NOTHING!   

I think everyone on here can rest assured that they're pretty cool when it comes to talking about minority groups...I was called a spaz, a retard and a joey the other day because I happen to support the Asperger's Syndrome FB page (the twatter thought I was a sufferer too, which I'm not, but I told him I was more than happy to let him think I was)...now THAT'S what you call disablist :blink:







Back to the main point of the thread...yeah Steve does seem like a bit of a boring bugger..maybe he'll come out of his shell given half the chance, or a gag for Scabby, whichever comes first

yep he is a waste as a h/mate.....he rarely joins in discussions and just goes unoticed most of the time...mind you i think ife is the same......as irritating as shabby,govan,the mad monk etc are..at least they give us something to talk about

Yes he is a waste of a housemate, obviously brought in to appeal to those tabloid readers who like to spout all that pro-war patriotic garbage

But to be fair to him, he's not getting that much air time compared to some of the others....I suggest he starts flirting with Dave ASAP to up his profile !

Definetly a waste of a housemate, he's so uninteresting.. hopefully that will change if the TOT gives him a task.

I don't think he's a laugh a minute, but he does seem to be quite good at putting things into perspective, which, if nothing else, is a good influence on the others.

He went down in my estimation when he put that bloody horrible eye back in and that's just something he'll have to live with!!

Muwahahahahahahah!  Have you been collecting elastic bands too?

I'll have you Know  I have an elastic band ball the size of a football

Open your eyes people Croc is crackers!

No....I can always find an elastic band when I need one.

Now I'm worried you really are 'elf n safety Mario
