If someone "being themselves" means they are a twat, then no it's not good.

the mantra repeated with nauseating regularity n forums, only works if being yourself, and being true to yourself and just being you, is by some one who happens to coincide with your view of the world?

No. This view doesn't apply to those who belong in asylums

so it's conditional then?

Does Smirnoff have a place in this somewhere? If not, not sure I can help

Be yourself, but only if you are like me.

Pass it here, and I'll test a hypothesis.

No, just in some cases.

I like HM's being themselves and not playing up to camera like some do (Sophie, Charlie) but that doesn't mean you have to like them.

I love the way you do not include your own favourite in playing up to the camera... the one housemate with such vanity in front of the camera - as soon as he saw his promotion picture he insisted that it were changed.

Yep, thats right, Marcus sitting alone staring into space not saying a word is really playing to the cameras...the dastard.

OK, be yourself, but only if you have a personality that is in any way tolerable to a civilised society?

Obviously if you have a nasty streak a mile wide, it's not good to 'be yourself'

I can name some despots to prove the point, if you wish

So in that case anything any of the HM's do is playing upto camera, we would never trust anything they did in that case.

He is being natural, it's very clear.

Sopie fake drunk, Charlie...well...fake everything, is clear that is false behaviour.

Well, his excuse was that he thought it would entertain us, but if it was just him being himself, then that's a bit odd really!

Bea, like Noirin, had to go. The longer she stayed, the worse she was appearing in the eyes of the viewers.

Because he understands that it's a TV show and there was nothing of interest appening in the house, that is one situation you mentioned, doesn't mean everything he does is fake.

Yep, but according to some we have to just accept them no matter what their like.

nearly.

In years gone by I've supported and liked HM 's that were nothing like me, I'd hate to watch me (or anyone like me) on BB.

it's a point about hypocrisy.

I've liked some HM's who I would never be friends with on the outside and others I wanted out of there that I thought were lovely genuine but dull people in the BB house.

You have to separate what sort of people youwant to see and (or) win on bigbrother compared to who you like as people.

Is it that people judge others on how they themselves would be in certain situations, whereas we are all different and react differently?

oh you ae fasr deeper than me , i was just making a cheap point about the laudable qualities of being yourself, as expressed on bb forums and yet when some is , and is proved to be, as bea was and is, she's pilloried for it.
s it's nly acceptable if you are 'nice' or wn up to beng unpleasant and vow to change wh you are, hence not being yourself.

typing is shit cos i am a bit 'under the weather'
