He doesn't add anything good or bad to the house really he's just sort of there. You could say the same of Ife to a lesser extent.

No Ife has got quite a lot to say on the quiet.... She sticks up for herself against the witches of endemol.

I disagree. I think he has an authority that the others respect. The other night JJ wouldn't stop shouting his mouth off until Steve told him to shut up. They need him there as a calming influence.

I missed that Cologne, I saw him just now watching JJ being so rude to Sunshine and he just sat there and let him get away with it.

He will fly under the radar gun for several more weeks... even to the final.... unfortunately ...

I think all the HMs think that JJ and Sunshine are dancing around each other, maybe that's why nobody jumps in.

Yes saw that too, Steve may not do much but he is the voice of reason(not hard really). So far I like his no bullcrap approach.

I like Steve and believe they all do respect him but he is boring at the moment but it is still early days ..it must be hell for him stuck in there with that lot of infantiles 

ohhhh - okay. Thanks.

I think Steve is just ignored, one evening he was talking about doing sports, i think it was basketball, but there are so many meglomaniacs in there that he is being lost. he has 8 kids, he said, so he must be a patient man! I think they have put him in there hoping that Keeva and her Irish militant views would cause some kind of controversy, Infact the only time i heard Keeva speak to him, was trying to work out if he was a Catholic or Protestant. I.E Keeva asking if he wore a wedding band! Why didnt she just ask straight out? Or was it just a coindence that Steve and Keeva were picked to go into the house at the same time as the Bloody Sunday findings were published?

Skylark, what Irish militant views, that's pretty strong stuff I haven't actually heard her mention much pertaining to Ireland? Moreover how does wearing a wedding band indicate if one is Protestant or Catholic. I have seen many religions wear w  bands.

when Keeva first went into the house, she wouldnt talk about Ireland, then she called where she stayed it was North Ireland, then she sang a song, which  was slightly edited. i have 2 sisters married into huge Irish Catholic families and they picked it up straight away! I am Scottish and a Protestant.  I dont want to cause any row, they may be wrong, but its worth a discussion x

That's cos of the editing Cologne.... on LF, if I remember correctly, JJ just kept on and in the end even Steve made a comment....

Okey dokey, didn't see or hear any of that. Anyhoo, she's not from the North,  Dublin in fact. I can't bear the snidey madam and wish she was up for eviction tonight.

A Catholic marraige, within the chapel, maintains a man wears a wedding band, The word "band" not a "ring" said who she was,  watched  Steve,, hesitate , he knew what she meant, then he said he lost it..he wasnt playing her game

I like Steve, I don't think we are seeing much of him on the HL shows at the moment because of the other drama queens in there, but hopefully once some of them have gone we might see more of him. Also I think he's an inspiration, with the right mindset you can conquer anything that life throw at you.

he as quite good at organising the task thing with the key.

he is a calming influence,
although  i find him a waste  of a place on bb, but he may come into his own.

i think the irish militant post, is uncalled for, even if it's about caoimhe.

I think thats the problem, he's being overshadowed too much atm so it looks like he does nowt

Nice but .......pretty boring IMO.

respect to steve for even being there. bb must think hes worthy of being in the house.
good luck to him but i think hes struggling,

Well, his Birthday's coming up, so we should see a lot more of him very soon...

Skylark, I'll have to take your word for it but it really isn't something I have witnessed and to be perfectly honest its not something that I think warrants any comment on from my end at least. I try not to get involved with contentious posts.

After eleven BB's and the stick they've had about no disabled folk in there (apart from Mikey)I think they felt duty bound to be seen to be doing right. Sorry if it offends but that's my opinion. He seems a really nice guy but .....that's it really. I hope when it all thins out in there he'll get the chance to shine - at the moment though it's full of in your face typical BB HM's.

not offended.

you know, i had to sit here and think hard who Steve was for a minute

either i am REALLY tired or it's true...he doesn't do much

he DID build a key out of legos though! and swear his arse off when they lost the task anyway

I like Steve and first noticed and respected him when Ben was being picked on and told by Shabby she did'nt like him..Steve stayed up and gave Ben moral support....

I think that was her trying to explain to a very thick Ben that Northern Ireland and the North of Ireland are not the same thing....he didn't get the distinction at all ...proving he's not the brightest in the house very early on 

Can't say i have a real opinion about Steve now. Am sure some of the HM's are thinking the same way as me. Fact is--- Nominating someone with a disability , and slipping up on your reason for nominating may cause uproar in the Generall public, It's eay for us to find reason out here, but must be very hard for them in there to actually nominate him without feeling they are being discriminating against him in the publics eyes.

Where's she from in Ireland?....

I'm Cathilic and call it a ring, my mother is old and calls it a band, maybe she just calls it what her mother calls it..and I am married into a Cathilic family who some served in the North and were Para's so I can't see it, also my grt uncle was hung by the british, we are all a mixed bunch, just cos your Irish does'nt mean you hate all English soldiers, infact I'd hate the government first....
