Pete to win I hope

[bittersweet]

He really is the only tolerable one in there.

Plus, I heard today that his mother is Anne Stephenson who was one of the 'Mambas' (of 'Marc And The Mambas' fame, Marc Almond's 1980's spin off/side group from Soft Cell), which pleases me enormously as their "Tomrnet and Toreors" album is fabulous.

He's the only one who seems to possess any degree of genuiness and individuality amongst the banal and mediocre stero-types also in there.

[SweatShop]

I really, really like him. He's fantastic, interesting and really cute to boot.

I really hope Pete, Lisa and Glyn form a sort of "outsiders" clique which Nikki is forced to join by default. They'd boot that boring pretty lot out the house.

[somethingbiblical]

I had high hopes for Lisa but I think she'd rather try and get in with Grace's smug little crowd.

I just wanted to hug Pete when he was getting all worried he was going to hurt Lisa's feelings

[Robbing the Dead]

Is it just me or does Pete remind you of a certain other 'celebrity' whose name begins with P?

[xenomaniac]

Hmmm.

I do think he's a nice guy. But if he didn't have Torettes I think I'd probably find him one of those 'look at me, aren't I zany!" types that I'd usually want to strangle.

[xenomaniac]

Does everyone still love Pete? He's well down on my list of housemates now, only aboove Lea and Richard. He is like a less amusing Jim Carey, if such a thing is possible without being the devil incarnated.


I'm actually starting to like the remaining plastics best. Ashylene should spend more time with Mikey and Imogen, she is bringing them out of themselves. I loved Imogen's drunken dancing.

[Carrotline]

I was so pleased tonight when he finally cottoned on to how manipulative and horrid She-man is. Also, tonights episode cemented for me tonight as to why Ashlene is so fucking ace too.

I used to have a housemate just like Lea when I was at uni. She used to come in my room, sit on my bed ask me if I was pissed off with her and when I said "no" she'd go one about me changing. Being different round her.

Makes you really fucking paranoid, especially if you know that you actually really liked that person, it's just the fact they keep asking if they've pissed you off that starts to get mightily on your tits.

[smellslikesomeghost]

Poor Pete. He is desperately trying to be a good bloke and not just tell lea et al to go fuck themselves and all he gets is grief. Lea constantly whining over him is classic obsessed girl in unreciprocated love stuff, and she's just lucky that he is so understanding. He is the only housemate I actually like, and there's more to him than fame hungry whoredom too, he's in there to challenge the publics perception of people with Tourettes, and good on him, he's doing just that.
What does worry me though is the fact that Lea, Ashlene and Nikki are constantly putting him under pressure. I know that his Tourettes worsens with stress, and whilst i am sure BB psychiatrists are sure he can handle it all it has been rumoured that he is suffering from near constant tinitus as a side effect of the presure for which he is being given medication.
Back off bitches.

[WhiteNoiseMaker]

Aside from seeming like a decent person, Pete promises a lot but seems to deliver quite little. He's supposed to be all deep and sensitive but he never actually says or does anything *interesting*. This could be just because he is a nice bloke stuck in with a load of psycho nightmares, however. I'm not sure. When he was complaining about people talking about sex all day long, then couldn't come up with a topic to discuss when Lea and Aisleyne(I think) asked him to come up with something to talk about... hmmmm.

[sultenfuss]

He disapointed me Big style when he voted for Ashleyn. He seemed like a good judge of character as well, someone needs to let him know that Leah is a big mental as is Nikki.

[klee]

So, based on photos published in a certain red top newspaper today, does Pete plan to spend the winnings on ketamine or will he be spending his Ok/Hello/Closer 'exclusive' deal money on that and blow the rest on champagne and an Audi TT?

[drooboy]

Pete’s really not very interesting, but I didn’t like him on day 1 (oh, the ‘hilarious’ tumble down the stairs …) either. His nominations were utterly pathetic – in previous series people would rail against those who struggled so dismally to nominate. It’s not like you don’t have the entire week to think about it so how hard can it be?

That's what I always think - I'm sure if I was in there I'd have no trouble nominating half the housemates every week...

[somethingbiblical]

My sister was saying yesterday how she has "gone off Pete now because he voted for Aisleyne" but I watched it this morning and though I personally would have voted for other people, I didn't think there was anything wrong with his reasons for nominating her. Lea is his friend (though God knows why) and Aisleyne HAS been saying stuff about Lea behind her back (even though Lea IS a paranoid bitch, obviously) so I didn't get what the big deal was about him nominating Aisleyne. She HAS changed, now that Grace and Lisa are out of the picture.

I still like Pete but he's not much of an interesting character any more, is he?

[I Hate Lana Lang]

I absolutely can't watch Pete. He does all that daft clicking with his tongue, he takes ages to speak, he nominated Aisleyne for the flimsiest of reasons and he turns on his 'mad' schtick at the drop of a pin. I really find him tedious and very, very boring. So Aisleyne bitched about Lea - I actually agree with her estimations of Lea. A very messed up, very creepy woman preying on Pete because she knows he's going to win.


EDIT: And snorting Special K when you have Tourettes isn't very wise for your state of mind!

That's what I thought when I saw the pictures! Wonder if this little "revelation" will harm Pete's chances of winning? Maybe people will fear that he will blow the hundred grand on a mountain of drugs and a straw.

I completely agree! Most people want him to win because they find him 'hilarious'. I fail to see one single 'hilarious' thing about him. He provides virtually nil entertainment value and he just irritates me! He does seem like a nice guy, though, but I don't think he should win.

I already knew about it. I don't know why. I saw the pictures today though. I'm not exactly surprised he does drugs with his whole lifestyle and everything.

[Nicholas]

But he will win, won't he? Unless there's someone very special in the next door house. I doubt it though; which means Mr Niceguy will certainly win. Yawn. Having said that, I don't really want any of them to win. How do we make that happen?

[Tracy-Ann Oberman]

Even though I am finding Pete increasingly boring and really wish that he'd grow a backbone, I'd be much happier him winning than his only real rival - the odious Glyn...

BB must have had this next house planned just as long as the main one, I'm thinking the five new house mates *are* going to be pretty special.

I don't like any of them. Especially her who looks like Rasheen, from rubbish Scottish soap opera River City, who eats every scene with her steel teeth - God she's magnificent. I'll post a pic of her when I cheesed it for a snap at Waverly station. We got her to agree the gay guy in it is ugly and she stayed in character for us. She must have thought we were idiots.
