Do we need to change Tom’s icon from sheep to chicken since chickening out of saying what he really wanted? 😁

It was sobering to see how all the older people were slung out pdq.

It would be a shame if BB became another children’s playground. We have Love Island for that.

meh they weren't interesting enough and I say that as an over 50 year old myself

Aixellency · 15/11/2023 10:51

True, @Twiglets1 - let’s hope they pick more exciting mature participants next time.

(Oh god, am I really carving out time for the next season already? Grin)

Leelaseye · 15/11/2023 10:55

I don't think the older contestants were any less interesting than some of the younger ones. Tom and Jenkin were as dull as ditch water if you ignored all the bitching and aggro

I dislike Tom more than I disliked Paul.

Paul had a charming side he could turn on when it suited. Tom doesn't.

SwankyPants · 15/11/2023 11:14

This was probably talked about many threads ago but I just read that Matty is only 24 😮

TrishIsMySpiritAnimal · 15/11/2023 11:15

I think the oldest is Jordan - he’s 26!

JaneJeffer · 15/11/2023 11:18

To be fair to Tom he said he would say his piece if he got back in the house. As he didn't know the results he wouldn't have wanted to leave them on bad terms so he said nice things.

It's all gone a bit flat and needs to be a longer show for things like fake evictions to be entertaining.

TrishIsMySpiritAnimal · 15/11/2023 11:19

Yea to the longer show - I miss the bettering of new housemates. It always shook things up when the dynamic reached a stalemate

Needanewname44 · 15/11/2023 11:38

5 votes to Jordan from me. Most entertaining.
Ba-bye Tom. Aka snoozeville.

brassbells · 15/11/2023 12:31

So glad Tom has gone

I would like Matty to go next

Virgo1958 · 15/11/2023 12:54

I cant see how Tom and Chanelle got through probably quite a stringent and lengthy process to get on to the house, they didn't seem to have much personality.
Tom and Jenkin avoided a bad reception last night.

Twiglets1 · 15/11/2023 12:58

Jenkin was funny in his exit interview and showed a lot of personality. More so than when he was in the house so I feel like that environment just didn’t suit him. I can see how he got through the stages of choosing the housemates though.
Unlike Tom & Chanelle - just cannot see what the producers saw in them tbh

Aixellency · 15/11/2023 13:24

I imagine Chanelle-Two-Moons was there to fill the Jade role …

And it may well be that the producers saw in Tom exactly what Trish, and Noky, and I, and anyone with any discernment could see in Tom - and thought it might be interesting to have that exposed in this context.

I’m sure there’s more to it than picking 16 I’m mad, me! people who all promise to bring the fun to the house. They’ll also want housemates the viewers might … despise.

MadEyeJudy · 15/11/2023 13:51

Interesting how Jordan seems to have totally seduced Tom & Jenkin during their time in the spare room...definitely the winner !

I think they just thought he wasn't as bad as the others left in the main house.

They went into the spare room wanting Olivia to win but after seeing how easily she switched over to the dominant group (& Olivia made that comment about Jenkin's weight that he didn't appreciate (they decided they preferred Jordan.

zsazsagaboredom · 15/11/2023 16:50

They agree no hot tub anythings then immediately embrace and kiss
I love them too much

WallaceinAnderland · 15/11/2023 16:52

I'd be happy for Jordan, Henry or Yinrun to win.

Jordan - has been interesting to watch even though he's actually very quiet and moves like a sloth. He was/is manipulating Henry and Matty but I don't think it was a strategy to win, I think that's just his character and how he protects himself from being vulnerable. He seems to be honest and he does stick up for his friends. He's had it quite easy in the house but has remained 'in character' so I do think we're seeing the real him as much as he will allow.

Henry - Bloody nice bloke. He has been completely passive but allows others to speak and have opinions without bitching about them. He has genuine feelings for Jordan and I think we've seen the real him. Although I'd be happy for him to win, I don't think he will. He doesn't seem to need the money and has also had it quite easy in the house, knowing that someone has always got your back and will never vote for you to leave.

Yinrun - is very funny, kind to everyone, explains herself well and has worked hard to try to and fit in but my god, the wailing. Wearing her heart on her sleeve has come across at times as fake but she has also stayed 'in character' the whole time so I do think she is just an openly emotional person. Tom was disappointed not to see her celebrating him going. He was wrong about that. I think she is genuine and has had some struggles in the house.

Noky - is only just starting to speak up so has unfortunately left it too late to make much on an impression. She was cowed by the bullies and afraid to speak her mind so I was hoping to see a different side once they were gone. Especially with Tom and Jenkin in the spare room. Perhaps we'll see more of her over the next few days if she stays in. Maybe she does just have natural poise but I really wanted to see her let go and be silly for once. I don't think we've seen the real Noky, she is too conscious of how she may be portrayed and can't risk sullying her reputation. Therefore she won't get my vote to win.

Matty - has tried to be a friend to everyone but his weird mix of childishness and hippy, free love, adult content conversations make him come across as a bit off putting imo. Despite knowing a lot about what he's done in his life I still don't feel his real personality has come across. He's been entertaining to watch and has had to navigate carefully to stay under the radar. I would say he has been playing the game and good on him but he doesn't get my vote either.

Olivia - is very entertaining but was part of the bully group and very unpleasant at times. She saw the group get evicted one by one so changed her tune and jumped off that sinking ship. She is the most glaringly obvious game player and very good at it because she has the ability to make herself likeable to people if she wants to. I do think she has a good chance of winning but she won't get my vote because of her earlier encouragement of Paul. I will forgive but won't forget 😁

Finally a message to Tom. I'd rather watch singing and dancing than bitching and whining. You were not entertaining in the least and only got as far as you did because you only talked about people behind their backs, like a coward, instead of being honest to their faces. Disappointing housemate really, but that's why you're out at the first opportunity.

Spoiler alert for those overinvested in the Jenry romance - BB have posted over on Twitter

Jenry are reunited tonight!
Speaking to Jordan in the hot tub, Henry says: “Honestly, I don’t know what’s happened in here. It was really strange. I genuinely felt different when you left. I was so upset. I won’t lie, it annoyed me a bit. How have you got this control over me? Not control over me but why am I feeling this way? I missed you a lot.”

and there was footage on one of the many Jenry fan accounts of a smooch from last night which they obviously hid on the live feed to save for tonight.
You were right @TrishIsMySpiritAnimal

beautifulyoungmind · 15/11/2023 16:56

Jinx @zsazsagaboredom 😁

AgentK · 15/11/2023 17:29

I just voted x4 for Jordan to win and x1 for Yinrun

ILostMyself · 15/11/2023 18:08

I just remembered at 5.55pm that I read either on here or twitter that voting was closing at 6pm? Just about got my 5 votes in! Usually I have a definite favourite but I don’t mind if Jordan, Henry, Yinrun or Olivia win so I split my votes between them.

Did someone say we get to vote again when they reopen them after tonight’s eviction?

I think my order of preference to win is:

Jordan
Henry
Yinrun
Olivia
Noky
Matty

How I think it will go:

Jordan
Yinrun
Henry
Noky
Olivia
Matty

AgentK · 15/11/2023 18:32

Can I just say I will be absolutely devastated if something is revealed about Jordan like the Trish thing?! I loved both of them from the start and felt so gutted re the Trish issue
surely Jordan is genuine 🙏

matty
noky
olivia

no idea what I think will happen maybe matty and noky last as people don’t feel strongly enough about them
