Who needs cocoa when you've got a cheeky Sauv Blanc before bed?

Ann is so concrete, she can't understand why anyone would do something they don't want to. She doesn't seem to feel vulnerable, so doesn't understand people who do or who succumb to pressure unless she can see why. A failure of imagination I think, rather than an intrinsic nastiness.

And she tends to vote to promote an old fashioned view of marriage and family life. It's a bit logical, if you think about it. Marriage is (and has been for hundreds of years) between a man and a woman, for the purpose of the family unit. Gay people simply don't fit that pattern. For her it's a definitional thing.

She does see homosexuality as 'less than' heterosexuality. But that was the norm until relatively recently.

I stress, I don't agree with her, wouldn't vote with her, but I don't think having those opinions makes her unusual or vile. She'd feed and clothe her single parent lesbian neighbour, should she need it, without a word I'm sure. Many people with 'right on' views would behave far worse.

I’m still not sure if Ann is homophobic or not. I think if anything she is sexphobic- there is a proper Latin word for that I’m sure. For Ann being gay is just what you do in the bedroom, and I don’t think she wants to know what anyone does in the bedroom.

She values discretion about sexual matters and hates pdas, dirty talk and making your sexuality a topic of conversation for that reason.

I don’t think Amanda, Ann or Wayne like identity politics.

I don't want Shane j to win for the simple reason Andrew would be a gloaty fecker.

Oft! I can just see his smug face now, greasy little fecker

SoleBizzz · 30/01/2018 15:15

I thought that they would be paid much more than 10k

Youcanstayundermyumbrella · 30/01/2018 15:34

It's more than I'll get paid this month!

Presumably for the lower paid ones, it's a springboard to more. PAs, magazine interviews etc.

picklemepopcorn · 30/01/2018 15:52

No! I've just read that they're putting Daniel and Andrew back in! Please no...

MrsJayy · 30/01/2018 16:07

Ach no why what for ? Bet shane j has been moaning he is lonely or something

misscockerspaniel · 30/01/2018 16:26

Pickle CBB twitter says that Daniel and a few others are going back in for a special task.

badabing36 · 30/01/2018 16:37

Ooh I hope it’s a guess who said this kind of thing, and they do the ‘hanging out the back of Jess’ quote

picklemepopcorn · 30/01/2018 16:42

That would be amazing...

Have you seen Shane L on feminism? He was great. I think I may be watching Ann too much, I rolled my eyes when Shane J was pontificating about intersectional feminism...

BeyondWitchbitchterf · 30/01/2018 17:06

Shane J just talking in general makes me roll my eyes now, I've heard enough of his manspaining to last a lifetime! 🙄🙄🙄

MrsJayy · 30/01/2018 17:30

You need to watch they don't roll out of your head Grin

GoldenGumballs · 30/01/2018 17:32

Oh Shane L you lovely lovely man.

MrsJayy · 30/01/2018 17:32

don't want Shane j to win for the simple reason Andrew would be a gloaty fecker.

Uhu Badabing

picklemepopcorn · 30/01/2018 17:41

We'll have to form a line for that lovely lovely Shane L. Can he be our brother? Or our dad? I've gone off Wayne. He can be grandad.

I bet the opticians are busy with the outbreak of eyerolling....

GoldenGumballs · 30/01/2018 17:47

Grin lovely lovely Shane L.

areyoubeingserviced · 30/01/2018 18:01

I have been supporting Shane L from the beginning.
He is lovely.
Shane L or Amanda to win

DoloresvanTroppe · 30/01/2018 18:02

badabing36- identity politics. That's it! It can be a turn off anywhere and this is what the other person IW was doing all the time.
Shane can be tedious!

DoloresvanTroppe · 30/01/2018 18:07

He's going to struggle after Malika eviction. She seems to be the only one on his side.

mirialis · 30/01/2018 19:34

Just caught up on both the show CBBOTS.

Think JJ saying " I want a strong woman to win so would like Amanda but in the end I'm going for Shane J" was very much related to her "please can you all not think that women of Ann's age - i.e. JJ - think like her because of their age".

I'm interested in how Ann can meet lots of people, have lots of gay friends, but not have her principles undermined in the slightest

I worked in "the Middle East" for years and as a consequence have lots of Muslim friends - I have massively different views from them on all the same issues as I have with Ann and yet that has never undermined my principles in the slightest.

I have British friends who do not get this and don't understand how I can have such a close friendship with people who feel so differently from me and I occasionally have to point out the irony of that!

mirialis · 30/01/2018 19:41

I am like Ann Widdecombe with my Muslim friends, including the elder men - they know what I think and I won't bring it to them but if (when, with some) they challenge me I will give an honest answer and a "I'm not going change my opinion" stance.

picklemepopcorn · 30/01/2018 19:43

That's an i teresting perspective.
