Weighing in on the Tully boredom - I have never been particularly fond of Tully in or out of the house, so I am kind of glad too see that she has taken a dive from the pretty undeserved pedestal that she has been put on within this forum. What I find to be a problem with a lot of the pics she posts is that her friends are pretty unlikeable. I don't know if I just don't get the lesbian scene or if Im just really not interested in it, but I don't get any enjoyment looking at the posts of her with her friends. I do enjoy looking at posts of Drew or Tim when they are with their friends. They seem more genuine and less try-hard or something. Im only a few years older than Tully, so it cant be a generational thing, surely. There is just something off. I can't put my finger on it.

Tully's friends certainly lack the charm of Drew's (which might be an unfair considering no one can compete with the awesomeness that is Dougal). They just seem really humourless to me but I think that's the vibe they go for.

Drew's friends also look pretty cool for being so welcoming and accepting of Tully. Same can't be said with the names reversed, although somewhat understandably.

Also looks like Tully's gonna be on Mornings at 9:15 for anyone interested.

She's been pretty open about having a tough time of it--the need to keep putting her down here to the point of name-calling escapes me. And I'm tired of people who clearly never liked her in the first place acting like she's been some sort of disappointment to them. Please. It's not like all the other HMs have been oh so interesting, posting deep, insightful things. Everyone's entitled to their opinion; it's just the faux tsk-tsking and putdowns that make me roll my eyes. Anyway, rant over. Felt good. :)

Other than her mother's Alzheimer's, any tough time that I imagine you're referring to is self-inflicted so it's difficult for me to have sympathy after six months and counting. And seeing as her and Tahlia are now BFF's or more again, I'm not sure what tough time you'd even be referring to now. She willingly quit her high-paying job to go on BB and her and Drew were together for a whopping 2 months and have now been apart longer than they were together so I can't see you referring to either of those. Regardless, I can't speak for Moose but there's no faux tsk-tsking happening on my part as I defended Tully many times in here and spent way too much time trying to give her the benefit of the doubt in situations repeatedly. But just like she lost a chunk of followers after her and Drew broke up, she lost me after realising that this really is all her life entails at the moment and none of it interests me. I don't initiate conversations about her nor have even posted updates from her in close to two months but if someone says something I agree or disagree with, you best believe I'll comment and say what I want. Tully doesn't get some sort of golden ticket free from criticism especially when every HM has copped much worse in here. This thread was a basically a friggen Tully fan page for months ffs and God help anyone who tried to disagree.

Regardless of it being "self-inflicted," I don't believe she deserved the levels of abuse she got and continues to get (yeah, six months later and still going), nor am I going to apologize for still feeling empathy toward her. The piece she wrote after Charlotte Dawson's death made it pretty clear to me she's still having a tough go of it a lot of the time, and the fact that her life being screwed up was largely her own doing doesn't necessarily mitigate that--in fact, it may well only make it worse. "What does she have to feel so bad about?" is the kind of thing that makes depression even more lonely and isolating, and it really gets to me.

Nor should she get a golden ticket, but those of us who get tired of the same old criticism have every right to say so, too. And I really don't recall this thread being a "fan page"--and even if it seemed that way at times, imagine how it feels now, or how the rest of the site felt, for those of us who didn't hate during the actual season but were afraid to say so. And as far as every HM copping much worse--I don't see that either. I didn't and don't want to start some kind of fight--we're just not going to see eye to eye on this one.

I grew up with severe depression in my home and almost lost a parent because of it but just as people tried to attribute various psych diagnoses to her behaviour while she was in the house, I feel uncomfortable when people try to pin depression or the like on a total stranger or use a serious illness like that as a tool to try to elicit guilt. I also never said I don't feel empathy for her. If she's still copping abuse on SM then that's horrible but as been discussed in here repeatedly there are ways to mitigate much of that: Have a private account and another one for her paid photos or don't have public accounts at all. I, like you, don't want to get into some drawn out discussion about her either as quite frankly I'd rather talk to you about 100 other things in here rather than Tully at this point so yeah, I'll leave it at that for the moment and let's agree to disagree. :)
 
I'll leave it too as soon as I say this: I don't like diagnosing people either, but based on my own experiences and the things she's written, I don't think it's overreaching to surmise that she's experienced some sort depressive episode. As many, many people will at some point. But my intention is not to "use a serious illness to elicit guilt"--it's to explain what I feel and why, not to tell people they should feel bad for disagreeing. If it reads that way I apologize, but there is a difference.
 
for any TD fans my friend just drove through some place you might recognise?

I STILL haven't rewatched Ep1 to try to get into it - think I need to quit watching BB Canada streams at home so I can find the time ;) lol

Well....even though I very much enjoyed watching MMc and WH craft their characters and the mystery of TD I still prefer Rake.

If I have to choose. If someone points a gun to my head and forces me to choose - it will be Rake.

Off topic so I'll just mention Tully again.
 
very spooky - cos I was just typing and deleting a post re Tully ... and thought MEH leave me out of it lol
 
am enjoying BB Canada - totally different style of BB game ... thought I wouldn't like the conniving etc but I am
 
Jade also made the Sunday Telegraph re the KerryAnn / Dr Katrina / Doggie photo shoot thing
but also there was an intriguing bit in the Guess Who Don't Sue


something about a certain TV Channel Head being asked to hire a former reality TV star and ignoring all pressure to do so. Wonder why?







don't have a copy of it in front of me so it was words to that effect ..



and wonder WHO?

I don't believe Tully has depression, but even if she did it wouldn't matter. I'll use an example to explain a point. A peadophile says they have a sickness or compulsion that makes them act a certain way. Maybe they do, I dunno I'm not a shrink. What I do know is that the peadophilic acts are disgusting and bad and should never occur. Do I care if the person doing those acts is not right in the head? No. I will condemn the acts and yes that even includes the person. Even if they say it can't be helped, it won't matter. I will judge because it's human nature.

Now I'm not comparing Tully to a peadophile, but I am saying that if a person acts in a way I don't appreciate then I have every right to speak against it. I don't care if they wanna blame it on some mental illness. I'm not the court system, I'm just a person writing stuff on a forum.

You want to use your belief about Tully's mental state to try and explain away her behaviour. I on the other hand don't believe anyone can truly know another person's mind so all we have are a person's actions to judge them on.

As for Tully's behaviour I don't really care. She is super boring and is only interesting when nude or skimpily attired. Also her friends have terrible taste in fashion and it annoys me looking at them hahaha.
