I've seen his Irish T-shirt but not his teddy! He has an Irish twang to his voice but I'm not sure if that's just a Manx accent?

SunflowerBaby · 14/11/2023 12:08

Matty's dad is Irish Grin

Tom is a little weasel. He's got all my votes!

His green Teddy has a shamrock on its tummy.
I think when his dad was on L&L he had an Irish accent , so guess that could give him a bit of a twang.

"Tom was in the spare room, watching the house, and Jordan was out of the room and did not have the headphones on. The housemates were all saying how they missed people who had left, and Henry said something like ‘I love you Jordan’. Jordan came back in and asked if he had missed anything. Tom said that none of them cared about any of them having left."

When Tom said that, wasn't it part of a wider discussion on their reactions, and his headphones were off too?
Also how do you know Henry said that while Jordan was out of the room and that Tom heard it?

(Tbf I wasn't fully paying attention to the entire episode so probably missed bits)

It was shown on L&L. Tom was watching on his own when it was said. Jenkin then came back and Tom told him what he'd heard them say. Then Jordan came back into the room and Tom said nothing had been said and got Jenkin to back him up. Jenkin hestitated but then backed up what Tom said.

You don't hear much about the Isle of Man which is strange!

I know their Gaelic is very similar to Irish. I watched some YouTube videos about it and could understand what they were saying even though they pronounce some things differently.

Figgygal · 14/11/2023 12:16

Tom and Jenkin are just dim aren't they
Theyve taken it all too seriously from the start and been too emotional which has isolated them as individuals and when I the bigger group

I don't think Olivia was being unkind about Jenkin either she was empathising with him but he took it badly - guess they're not friends anymore

JaneJeffer · 14/11/2023 12:18

I'm not a Jenkin fan but I do have sympathy for him WRT Olivia discussing his weight after he "left". Imagine how that must feel.

mcmen05 · 14/11/2023 12:18

I like Noky would like her or Henry to win.

WhyDoIFancyGeneHunt · 14/11/2023 12:51

I like Noky best yet at the same time I forget about her! Not sure who else I'd want to win maybe Jordan then Henry? Or Matty...

I liked Yinrun at first but the wailing put me off her.

Tom is horrible. He looked fuming whenever someone nominated him. It just reflects badly on him though.

I know Jenkin isn't popular but I do quite like him. I feel sorry for him often, and he has come out with some funny lines. Plus I'm Welsh so maybe biased 😁.

I hate to say thay Olivia has grown on me!!!

Do we know when the eviction is happening? Someone said Wednesday I think but that means the person who goes back in will only be for like a day before the final?

SwankyPants · 14/11/2023 12:51

As we know BB is edited to show certain people in better or worst lights.
How do we know that what Tom said wasn't cleared up later? That he told Jordan they were only joking.
And Will twice had a go at Tom. Aren't they supposed to be neutral?

AgentK · 14/11/2023 13:04

Not sure how accurate this is but any fellow Jordan fans need to vote all 5 for jenkin to go, if not already voted
apparently Jenkins on 28 percent and Jordan 31. Tom 41

TellingBone · 14/11/2023 13:09

I said quite early on that Tom is the one that loads the gun and then gets others to do the shooting. Well here he is again:

Big Blagger

TONIGHT! 👀 HOUSEMATES REFLECT ON THEIR EXPERIENCE AS TOM IS LEFT FRUSTRATED

Big Brother supplies housemates with a number of questions on different topics which they quiz one another on.

Noky says: “Henry, what makes you laugh?”

Henry says: “Dry, witty humour.”

Noky says: “Ah you mean Jordan!”

Yinrun says: “Name five things you regret saying in this house.”

Olivia says: “I regret saying that maybe Noky isn’t what she is telling me she is based on Halloween. I regret saying Matty was doing my tits in via secret coding.”

But Jenkin, Jordan and Tom are watching the housemates in the spare room and while the housemates reflect on their Big Brother experience, Tom in particular is left frustrated with the housemates' conversation.

Speaking in the Diary Room, Tom says: “I am f*ing confused. What have we just watched? Because I hope I haven't been like that. That was so backtracking on things and just chatting s**t about people you were friends with two days ago.”

Tom adds: “In a matter of two days, everyone has just changed in there. We’re all in agreement that whoever goes in is going to put all three people’s points across and say exactly what we’re all thinking.”

I thought Will was particularly biased last night, in fact he called Tom "mean" iirc. Definitely not neutral! I didn't like Will last night.

Ah thanks for filling me in @Olive19741205 and @MrTiddlesTheCat I don't really like the presenters so don't ever bother with L&L.

That said, I still don't trust the producers to give an honest edit and think they're only interested in creating storylines/conflict. it could've easily been made to look a certain way. I feel like half the time BB relies on people hate watching/hate voting so like to rule people up 😅

No, it’s not the BBC

I’m surprised people are saying Tom isn’t that bad. He started hating Farida and Hallie, then Noky, and transferred his hate to Trish and Yinrun. Basically any marginalised woman. He’s given nothing - he’s so boring and his only trait is being bitchy. And not lying to Jordan about no one caring that he gone was purposefully nasty. I watched the live feed the night of the fake eviction and they very much were missing them and saying lovely things. Tom and Jenkin just wanted people sobbing because they’d left

I have watched the live feed a few times and there’s definitely characters who come across differently than they do on the edit. Olivia for example comes across really well and is kind and Noky is very playful and funny

TrishIsMySpiritAnimal · 14/11/2023 15:15

Also re Tom - him casting doubt on Yinrun’s authenticity because she <checks notes> moved country and has a boyfriend Hmm what does he think she should be like?

AgentK · 14/11/2023 15:47

Apparently it’s now 25 percent jenkin
32 percent jordan

Vote jenkin to save jordan!

one of the bb Facebook groups.
Can’t verify it as definitely true but percentages sound likely so I’d be doing it just in case if I hadn’t already voted! I love Jordan 😁

Oh I know I was being flippant because the BBC have to be neutral to I imagine C4/BB have no obligation to be neutral.

In fact I always thought in previous series there was a VERY clear favourite in each year and also a villain
