Damn right Cam, 95% of us on here were voting non-stop to get you evicted!! And it didn't work!! Aaargh!
Just kldding. It was actually closer to 98%!!
(The only time I ever voted these past six years was a few times for the idiot Sibley in the BB3 final week. And I've felt dirty ever since!)In all seriousness, we take BB far too seriously. We 'think' HMs are this, that, and 'whatever', but actually you HMs are just people much like ourselves. (Although for the past two series the HMs have been self-conscious, exaggerated caricatures.)
You are an intelligent, funny and likeable man Cameron; and you never seem to bear a grudge, get into slanging matches or get uptight or upset. Well done you. (Plus gerbilgranny loves you! And that's something to be proud of!)
Just please don't sh!t in my shoes! 
Thanks, and yes you're ABSOLUTELY right re. the bit in bold, and about the fact that 'normal' people don't exist, anywhere. I've used the word "mainstream" in the Sunday Post, rather than 'normal' or 'ordinary'.
Anyway... I was saying elsewhere on here about Makosi's reception, wondering (I suppose I was stating an opinion) about whether it was justified and I think -
relative to the other housemates - it was. Clearly in relation to the World at large it wouldn't be, that is obvious, but the eviction crowd are not (generally speaking) political commentators or analysis, anti-vivisectionists, race-relations officers or anyone else with serious issues on their minds or in their day-to-day existence - they are, to use a term of undoubted affection, "
BBFans".
In the same way that those mentioned above might not get upset over a housemate's behaviour, most Big Brother fanatics wouldn't go on hunger strike or hold hostages or murder anybody for their own cause. They're there at evictions because they're passionate about Big Brother.
And let's not forget, housemates are generally chosen to create feelings in us that will cause us to vote.
Whether the vote is a positive one or a negative one makes no difference to the production company - voting revenue is voting revenue.
