Even though he is cringe factor 10 and that fucking hair - he has just got that independence of mind and a slight twinkle in his eye...

I am BU aren't I?

There are no words!

Thunderduck · 24/08/2009 18:12

YABVU. He has a mullet fgs!

ApplesinmyPocket · 24/08/2009 18:17

I 'quite' fancy him too. Mainly because his independence of mind, as you say, his confidence, and his refusal to be bought by anyone (let's forget Noirin - a moment of madness) and his diary room cheek/irony are all quite attractive traits. I don't find him physically horrible either - if push came to shove, I'd certainly find him more shaggable than Funtime Charlie, who is supposed to be a sort of Mr Universe but whose sneer and whine makes him completely repulsive to me.

So YANBU in my, admittedly usually off-kilter, book.

Fight for him? Covered in baby oil?

I think I'd concede to you Apples I am, after all, a married woman!

I think it all started when I saw what an elegant dignified woman his mother was in the mummy task (and I guessed her straight away!). I realised then that his cringey David Brent persona was just him being ironic. I just sit back and enjoy it now and I've found myself strangely drawn...

YABU, he is gross and that hair!

Siavash on the other hand, I so would.

No No say it isn't so.

curiositykilled · 24/08/2009 19:09

EEEEEWWWWWWWW!

hocuspontas · 24/08/2009 19:11

You both need to get out more, you know that.

This is the most AIBUest thread ever

gettingabitnervousnow · 24/08/2009 19:44

I have to admit he's grown on me a bit recently but fancy him???

Not if he was the last man on earth!

nekonix · 24/08/2009 19:48

oh no. his hair is awful and he cant say a sentence without swearing.....

hatesponge · 24/08/2009 19:51

I actually find the constant swearing quite endearing!

I definitely would

oh, the shame.........

curiositykilled · 24/08/2009 19:59

I shall back up my earlier post with some reasons:

He'd always love himself more than you could ever love him... how attractive(!)

He models his 'look' on an X-men character... How old is he!?!?

undervalued · 24/08/2009 20:54

I remember him saying to someone in an argument...'Don't speak to me like that, I'm 42 years old...' (???)
Anyhoo, I agree with the comment on his sense of irony, and this makes him an interesting character with an indepenent personality (A first for BB I think) but I could never forgive the mullet and sideburns - never mind the showering with a scourer..
I suggest you remember the shower scene every time you have these thoughts - or picture him combing that hair. Oh God, I feel sick now...

ApplesinmyPocket · 24/08/2009 21:04

His mother was elegant and dignified, you are right, Fairy! He comes from good stock, it's clear

Let's see how the highlights go tonight before we finally commit...

SerendipitousHarlot · 24/08/2009 21:37

I fancy him as well

He's lovely and hairy as well. And loads of tattoos. He reminds me of my dh. BUT NEWER

ApplesinmyPocket · 24/08/2009 23:39

He was Mr Cool personified tonight.

Come on all you scoffers, if you had to pick one of that dire lot to be stranded on a desert island with, wouldnt it only be the Irrepressible Dark Horse who had a hope of building a canoe out of palm leaves and coconut shells and getting you rescued?

ApplesinmyPocket · 24/08/2009 23:50

Though I've realised I fancy Siavash TOO.

Oh me! I'm such an Apple Tart

SerendipitousHarlot · 25/08/2009 10:23

And did seeing Siavash in those lycra leggings have anything to do with that Apples

It's a whopper
