Is it me or are most of the housemates thoroughly unpleasant.?
Olivia , Tom and Jenkin are just awful.
Deliberately trying to paint Trish as ‘aggressive’ because she is the only one who is honest and fearless. She accepts that she is not perfect, but definitely has her heart in the right place
As other posters have pointed out, none of the other housemates seem to look out for Trish
The only likeable housemates are Trish, Henry and Yirun.

I liked how Matty stood up for Trish too - he seems more mature that way & he grew on me after that.

I agree.
Im not too sure about Matty as don’t feel he has shown that much of his personality in the house, though he admits he is quiet so maybe that is his personality.
But I liked the way he stood up for Trish.

Lampzade · 06/11/2023 11:14

Forgot Matty
I like him too

😂 Farida is always eating!

I like Yinrun, Hallie, Trish, Matty, Henry and Jordan.

Oooh quite proud of my younger self, seems I am rather astute when it comes to BB personalities. Only Hallie from my original line up has gone 😜

Trish, Jordan, Henry and Yinrun are my final 4 - so thank you for noticing them :D Definitely want them in the final, but Trish to win.

Another champion of Trish here. So far I really like her.

I'm glad Paul went as he was coming across bullyish, plus I didnt like the way he effed and jeffed every sentence. I mean I'm no angel, but the constant swearing made him sound thick.

Dylan had anger issues - goodbye sonny, don't let the door hit yer 😀No doubt he's raging at his poor girlfriend as we speak.

I've gone off Chanelle, but want to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Jenkin certainly did not expect them to vote for him to be nominated. Bet he's seething with Jordan for setting the scene.

Olivia would get right on my nerves with that toddler scream - is she 4?

Not sure who I want to win yet - favourites so far are Trish and Henry.

He did recognise his behaviour, that's why he spent hours talking to Henry and apologising last night. He took full responsibility. As an Autistic person, (though he isn't diagnosed and we should be careful with this dialogue) I really empathize with him and his need to hide/get away from people when you're upset. He dealt with the upset of hearing H and M talk about him in a poor way, but I think it's understandable. Especially as Henry denied that they had been talking about anything. Some people cry, and some people put their defenses up.

Oh and by the way people don't get less Autistic with age you know.

I thought one of his friends had confirmed he had autism a week or so in. It was on an earlier thread.

Sheisready · 06/11/2023 13:28

I really don’t enjoy the Love Island-esque production of playing dubious cover songs as background music.

rockingbird · 06/11/2023 13:37

Looks like poor Trish is feeling it - first look 😞 I'm really not surprised, she's put up with a lot and supported so many that now the cracks are starting to show! Can't see how Jenkin can redeem himself and his little group are all looking rather bitter now.. his half hearted attempt to clear the air with Trish (like so many other times) have not been well received.

Thesearmsofmine · 06/11/2023 13:40

I also liked Matty sticking up for Trish. I have found him quite creepy at times although he seems to have calmed down a bit now with the sex talk and I feel he is probably the most intelligent and mature out of that group and I imagine he thought Paul’s behaviour was out of line.

His mum has said he isn't. So its a bit of speculation. Not that I blame people for seeing it. There's a lot of behaviour that I recognize. Retreating in the face of big emotions, small social battery, big attachment to objects and safe people, etc. I sympathised when he was angry/sad about Hen and Matty talking about him. Unfortunately for Jordan and a lot of people with these traits (including myself),our frustration tends to mean retreat, which makes it seem like he wasn't feeling anyway. He thought he'd lost a friend too, but rather than cry as Henry did, he may have thought, "fuck it, he doesn't like me any more so I'll push him away first."

YinrunIsMySpiritAnimal · 06/11/2023 13:52

Getting a bit bored of the Jenry love triangle. Jordan needs to get better at communicating, the lack thereof is hurting people. Although I have NO idea what him and Matty bang on about.

Love love love Trish. She stands up for what’s right. I find the labelling her ‘scary’ and ‘aggressive’ to be a racist microagression. Olivia literally screams and Kerry several times actually had a really loud violent tantrum over things like eating tofu and getting wet in the rain, yet no one calls them aggressive.

Love Yinrun (see username). I think her experience of being ignored, patronised and belittled is a very good reflection of what people whose second language is English experience in this country.

Agree with all you said about Trish.

Olivia also telling her and Noky that her and Trish "you's are a dangerous pair" was also a racial micro aggression.

SunflowerBaby · 06/11/2023 16:01

It's really bothering me that I've read so much stuff people have picked up from watching the live feed but they aren't showing it on the main show.

We're getting such a highly edited version of what's going on and I'm sure it didn't used to be like this in the good old days.

Scorchio84 · 06/11/2023 16:11

Yinrun is totally playing up & I find it beyond annoying, she knows or is aware of way more than she lets on, the "childish" responses does a disservice to her culture & eductaion...
I agree with the comment about Olivia et al with their micro racial aggressivnes against Trish... way more blatent aggressiveness from that crowd throughout the past few weeks

Edit - the irony that I spelt *education wrong 😂^^

It's a completely different show if you watch the live and it's stupid. Just allows BB to get whoever they want hated (like they're doing with Jordan this week, and it's working!)- they're engineering the votes.

rockingbird · 06/11/2023 17:07

@Scorchio84 agree - Yinrun is most definitely putting it on thick.

Quirkyme · 06/11/2023 17:15

Hey ladies, I'm so nervous about my interview tomorrow. I think it's more adrenaline than nerves, but I'm pretty prepared. It's via Teams so I can have notes /docs etc around, ahhh just nervous.

I have a pole class soon so hopefully that will get rid of the anxious/nervous energy tonight!

NowNumber5 · 06/11/2023 17:26

Hey Quirky, you sound like you got this in the bag 💼 so go out there and smash it!
Can you say any more about it - is it a totally new job away from your current one, or are you going for a promotion of your current role?

Enjoy your pole class, I bet it’s a good tension reliever! Don’t forget to pick up some chocolate for later 😁

I’ve got DC swimming between 6.30 - 7.30, pray for me 😞😆

NowNumber5 · 06/11/2023 17:29

In my mind, Quirky’s new job is ‘Senior Editor of Big Brother 2023’… 😂

or ‘Presenter in Chief’ - move over AJ! <hair flick>

I also have autism. I would have done exactly the same. Can't process the emotions so cut off the problem. Only difference being I'm stubborn to the point of stupidity so they'd be dead to me.
