I haven't voted for anyone yet. I'm feeling fairly benign toward both Preston and Chantelle and, weirdly, Barrymore. Don't think I'd actually vote for the latter, though.
Traci and Maggot? Meh. They seem nice enough people, just a bit detached/ineffectual - according to the editing, anyway. There's the 'vote for the the most entertaining character' school of thought and there's 'vote for the nicest/most likeable'. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle: I want to 'reward' those I think have been genuinely pleasant housemates (or, at least, not enormously vile) but I also like them to have played at least some role in the major dramas.
This year, for me, it's been about feeling disappointed or nauseated by people about whom I previously felt vaguely benign. I've always quite liked Pete Burns, and have generally given Galloway the benefit of the doubt. Even Dennis Rodman, based on what little I've known about him (tattoos, penchant for crossdressing, shagged Madonna) seemed more interesting than yer average US sports star.
Of Barrymore, I expected little, so I've hardly been surprised - other than by the times he managed not to be blatantly self-obsessed. |
