Agree alm

Agree almost 💯 except on Nikita.

It’s disappointing in a way that he does not seem to fully address Fern’s beefs and listen to her but she is a loose cannon and he’s already witnessed her spite with ES (deserved or not and the HMs’ perception may be different).

To me Nikita seems incredibly wary which is understandable given a) he is mid 20s and English not his first language; b) He will have been warned it is career suicide to be seen to argue with an older woman. c) He possibly has been warned off Fern after her attacks (as Strictly community would see it) in Artem; d) he just can’t handle her.

I really want to like Fern as relate to her drunken aunty antics, feeling unheard and generally putting herself out there. Her father’s rejection must have been hard.

However, I really don’t like her spiteful side and the way she weaponises the age thing and turns it on young people to make THEM look bad. Total gaslighting. A dangerous woman who other HMs especially younger ones must find intimidating.

Fern has to deal with getting older but Nikita was diagnosed with T1 diabetes at 13. Wonder how Fern would have dealt with that?!

Nikita’s young life has not been a walk in the park with a nomadic existence and dealing with other languages, close family in war torn countries. Has Fern experienced that?

He hasn’t shown the sparkle he does on Strictly as not his natural environment but he has not done anything wrong.

What do you mean ‘her father’s rejection’? She was really close to her father Tony Britton.

She also experienced a long period of depression which is well documented.

Her split with Phil was a mutual decision and they are still friends.
 
Fern being an arse again on tonight's preview. Pretending she "unintentionally" upset Nikita.

It was completely intentional. She made a drama out of nothing then felt embarrassed when he didn't entertain her shite, so now she's removing all responsibility from herself and acting baffled as to why he was upset. She's so immature for a woman in her 60s.
 
My winner is Louis . I kinda feel like the rest of the house pick on him a little bit , and he’s in his own little bubble and doesn’t realise . No one really has his back in there , they throw him under the bus any chance they get . Yet , all admitted last night he’s a kind soul . I think he’s lonely outside big bro and trying his best to gel with everyone , he will really miss this experience. He’s never said he wants to go home . Kinda breaks my heart !
ZeZe has grown on me , didn’t like her at the start but sad to see her go last night .
im not a huge fan on David , he’s funny and entertaining but I think abit bitchy . I’ve seen him a few times pulling strange faces at people behind their backs and I just think it’s mean .
Nikita is too worried he’s gonna be cancelled and has a martyr mentality, I don’t buy it 100%.
I also don’t think Bradley needs to be kept in purely for being neuro divergent and on the show , are we forgetting Pete , it’s been done before .
 
My take on the Fern Nikita drama, and I have no particularly strong feelings about either of them tbh.

It's been obvious since day one that Nikita seemed to have an issue of some kind with Fern. He's been sullen around her and I've seen some speculation about why this might be (her being rude about her SCD pro?) but who knows.

I think was Fern was attempting to say to him last night was that she felt slightly patronised by the "it's in fashion you know" comment. I don't think she was implying he was nasty or anything, just that younger people sometimes see older people as old and invisible. I remember my Nan commenting on when shop staff etc started saying things like "aww bless" to her and she felt really patronised.

That's not even what he said, she completely misinterpreted him - it was more like a throwaway 'stripes are cool ATM' which (IMO anyway) is way more breezy and chilled than how Fern put it - a VERY condescending "Stripes are in FASHION, Fern'.

He didn't say "it's in fashion you know." He said "I like your top. Stripes are in fashion." There was nothing patronising in his tone. It was a throwaway comment that Fern held onto for days then twisted it into something ageist when she had a few wines and was clearly feeling bitter. She's becoming more grumpy and immature by the day and her behaviour towards Nikita had been completely unfair.

I saw that too but afaik, her time on Strictly was way back, and the pro is gone since before Nikita's time.

I like him because of Strictly, but I thought especially in the garden, he kept talking over Fern.

As I said in an earlier post, show us the full conversation, although if it was anothing as boring as orange gate, maybe not! 🤣
 
Agree im

Unpopular opinion coming up, but I like Colson, he seems a nice grounded young lad and reminds me of an ageing Labrador, Zee Zee was really annoying me glad she's gone. I don't like Nikita but he did pull off his stunt of of putting himself up for eviction and is still in there. Not surprised that Fern isn't that nice she wad brought up in a showbiz acting family where the friendly false mask is the norm. Louis isn't particularly nice but he is observant and entertaining. I was sorry to see Marisha leave I liked her.

Agree on all except Nikita!

I know a number of neuro divergent young people and none of them act childishly like Bradley.

Fern annoyed me yesterday making the snake episode all about her. Louis was fine with it and acted more maturely. Fern is desperate for attention and validation from people which I find rather self centred. She had to get sympathy for herself when she should have told Louis privately that it was her and made a joke about it.

That really annoyed me too, Fern the martyr boo hoo.

To be fair it was BB that told her to gather everyone together and tell them.
I’m sure she’d have done it privately if BB hadn’t said that.

Yes the argument over bleeping stripes being in fashion was ridiculous. I'm inclined to think Nikita thought he was paying her a compliment and she took it to mean that he was amazed an older woman would know what's in fashion.

As someone who doesn't give a toss about fashion I thought Fern acted badly and was way too over sensitive. She shouldn't care if Nikita likes her clothes or not (I certainly wouldn't). Just say thanks (even if you don't believe him) and move on.

I was more perturbed by her statement about having a 26 year old brain 😃 no you don't Fern.
Of course we all think that we're the same inside as the body ages but the reality is that we're not. You should have learned a few more things by the time you're 60 and one of them is don't get hung up on ridiculous things like bleeping stripes 😄

Fern found out that Nikita voted for her to be evicted, three times.

I can't even remember how it came about that that was revealed? Did anyone else find out anything similar about who had voted for them?
Click to expand...

It was revealed during the Brainless part of the Evil fairy tale shopping task. The 3 lads were in the task room, and it came up as a question how many times has Nikita voted for Fern to leave!

I think it must be hard for Fern in there, what do you do and say if you find out Nikita has voted for you three times? Or you find out Big brother was lying to you about the snake task. Her head must be all over the place.

She is already being isolated from most of the group because of her age. It currently too easy to become invisible to younger people as you age. Her comment to Nikita about still having a 26 year old mind inside a 60 year old woman really resonated with me. As an older woman I wish my experiences and knowledge would be respected, and not dismissed.

re having a 26 year old mind........Its that I can still feel as upset as I did at 26...about people being unkind or mean.... just because Im older I havent lost all my dreams and desires. Im now retired, but could still wonder what I would like to be when I grow up........!!

Big Brother is often unkind to contestants, but this year they have been unkind I think to Fern, dressing her as the fairy godmother in a task where the evil side of the house was celebrated, it was a badly considered costume because she was having big issues with her mike and battery pack, fitting correctly, and I didnt like the way ITV edited Ekin Su.

I certainly agree that order people aren't always shown any respect and that Fern is finding it hard because she has no mates in there.

I don't think Fern is helping herself though. If she didn't get so wound up over inconsequential things and was a bit more laid back she'd probably find it easier.

I agree. She feels unheard and lonely, probably exhausted by now, excluded from the clique, hurt by Nikita constantly nominating her, and behaved badly after a few rosés. Nikita talked over her or they might have had a good conversation.

I'm hoping David wins. He has a lovely energy, which I did not suspect when I first saw him. My big question: does he wear shorts under those hoodies or just pants??
 
Scotch Mist said:
She denies that she said it though, so who do we believe? There's no proof either way is there.

Personally I don't think that Sharon is a 'nice' person. She's been catty and nasty to many people during her career but I don't believe that her dislike of anyone is race based. She dishes it out to everyone 😄
Click to expand...
I agree being "nice" wouldn't have worked in her line of work especially as she is a woman but I think she is pretty straight talking to the point of brutality but I also don't think that race/gender / sexual preference comes into it.
 
This year BB havent been that kind to the female contestants, Sharon excepted, but then she is far too professional and well respected to be pushed aside. Now there is only Fern left. and I can imagine she must be feeling doubly isolated, isolated by her age and her sex!

Although I am wondering what on earth posessed Fern to enter this show! this year has been great fun in some respects, especially because of louis and Sharon, but I am wondering if they have created an own goal for themselves for future seasons! What sensible celeb will want to go on this show again?
