Jon is certainly strange in my eyes, but you just have to watch him to see what he does or says next

Addressing the thread-title ..


They keep harping on about Jon = boring. Jon talking about Star Trek, yes. Jon himself, no. Strange, yes (in an Eddie Izzardkind of way). Valid case there. But again, boring, no.

I'd call it more unusual, than strange (but then there ARE those who worry about motility-issues, synthetic progesterone in drinking water and its effects and its future or even current impacts).

The paper's use of word bizarre - read readership-increasing judgemental put-down. Their we are defining things for the good of society stance is anything but. Attention-getting, yes. But then so is an OAP farting in a rush-hour tube. And just as good for society?

If anyone else goes on about Jon and boring (on BBLB or C4) the minds gonna do an instant shut-down and reboot.

It's not so much a bias as having literally DEFINED the whole of many shows!

Get ON with it. Move on. Enough already.

There is plenty of fascinating stuff to focus on ( well, apart from Fed, yet).

He (Jon) is not TRYING to be anything, just himself. Even if he was the only one in the house he would/could still entertain himself AND anyone watching. If believing all that's been written/shown about him hasnt blinkered the perceptions already.

You don't have to LIKE him. You just have to make your own mind up (and being critical, curious, open) when watching BB.

Using voting to keep only those in the house you LIKE is disastrous.

Once again (as with HD, Crystal and all) not replying to Rose's post as such, just the thread.

Word re-use (ie 'strange', etc), is only to use associations that have been generated (for impact) but not picking up on/replying to, previous posts issues.

Its just general airing of a view really.

I know its a bit of a heart-stopper having a long post follow yours.

I am going to create new threads to keep mid-thread flow. It is inspired by the thread so seems right to put it there.

I love Jon. He reminds me so much of me. Plus he is not boring. He's eccentric. Scott is boring. Ray is boring. They do nothing of any note, but Jon is a geek and fabulously long-winded, just like me. I have totally forgiven him for bringing fake tits into the house. I now want him to win.

BBro....are you Jon's twin by any chance?

Lol Except he's the good twin .

Jon is the only one to make a real impression so far [apart from Anouska's dirty flirting] but at least he is making an impression of some kind which is more than can be said for the rest.
They really are a dull lot - on C4 live they all just drone on about completely inconsequential matters and I fall asleep in about five minutes [unlike last year when I was still awake till the end].
Plus that blinkin' stupid singing 'game' was abysmal - only Jon injected a bit of interest when he snided at them for not knowing the words and then put them right. Great!!

Well it appears to me to be a private email to his closest assosiates and someones let it out of the bag - some friend . His style is articulate and intelligent , whats wrong with that? is this too "posh" for some ? who are these people who feel so threatened? the Pikeys that read the Mirror? Reverse snobbishness I find hilarious please remember we spent 9 weeks last year looking at the antics of someone who couldn't string a sentence togehter( nor could their family or associates)

Some great points made in this thread. Days ago I pointed out that just coz Jon likes things many of us find boring, it doesn't stop him being an interesting person.

To make an assessment that he is 'boring' does not do him, or the show credit.

I like Jon... his eccentricity *sp*? makes him very interesting/funny.

May I add boring BUT very WATCHABLE - I think its time for my medician

what we have to consider is that even if we DO find Jon detestable - he is GREAT TO WATCH. so many times i have seen texts scrolling across the screen saying things like 'Steph to win, she's so down to earth and genuine'. Perhaps, but she's crap to watch at the moment.

i do hate to harp on about this, but this show only works because it is in the public's hands, and if we vote out any hint of a character (even an obnoxious one) we kill the show as entertainment.

Pikey's dont read the Mirror they read the Sun, Star and the Sunday Sport-

Looking forward to tonights (sunday) ch4 show as its the psycologist thingy. I bet Jon will take up about 2/3 of the programme though!
