I go near insane when people claim Eugene is 'funny'.
You are laughing at him, not with him. I don't laugh. I cringe for him, really CRINGE for him when he speaks. I don't hate the guy, but be honest, if you worked with Eugene, you would dread if he came up to you in the staff room.
I'll give you that he's genuine and a decent human being, but so is Ant.
Don't use Eugene as an ugly stick to beat Endemol/Channel 4 and the other HMs. Whilst it would be funny to thwart all of their plans by electing the HM they would least like to win, it's not in the spirit of BB. Vote for someone who has contributed more than tears and politeness to the show. We're not electing a representative of the human race, but the best chimp in the zoo.
The man is wallpaper. And you are only voting for him as a sick joke. If it genuinely as a sympathy vote, as with Nadia last year, then that to me is equally disgusting. You're patronising someone and saying their personality and behaviour have not been enough to merit your vote but you're gonna vote because, aw, they are the runt of the litter and you're all such kind hearted souls.
Eugene doesn't need your patronage. Vote Ant! At least he's done things in there! Hell, vote Makosi before Eugene, she's at least given us so much to argue and laugh about.
Excellent post!!

I agree with everything you say.
