To be fair, your point probably did get missed. I read this "I can't cosign on that. As an American, I've never felt American accents are that far off from Canadian ones. Surely, there are obvious vowel sounds that differentiate the two. Whenever I've been in Canada the O sound was all the stood out. Leo doesn't sound that different."

And that's what I was responding to.

His bloody accent nor where he comes from doesn't matter to me though. I adore him *so far* regardless and while he'll never win - this forum's discussion about whether 'foreigners' should be allowed on and his accent are yet more indicators of why and what I was referring to two weeks ago - I hope he at least spices things up in there before he leaves. It's pretty crazy when the Facebook crowd are more accepting of him.

@tanique - there's a lot of variation here in Australia. Even from one side of the city to another as I had mentioned earlier.

Wasn't Ed's accent picked up last year? And that was just from Australia.
The main argument was that we seem to have different accents from different parts of Australia.
As long as I can understand the person then the accent doesn't matter imo.
 
So if Leo is actually Canadian-born, what's to stop someone like me from moving to Australia in a few years to become a contestant? Do you have to be an Australian citizen?
 
i think Leo is just about my favourite housemate.
i dont really like him very much but the rest of those people are so plain

Going based off this picture: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014...ge_galleryImage_Big_Brother_2014_nFor_fur.JPG

She looks about 27/28 to me.

He's Canadian, not just Canadian-born. :P Although I believe he has Australian citizenship. I wonder how he went through that process? I'm always curious about that.
 
I think that Leo is an Australian resident for Tax purposes..... Last year Alex said on Twitter that Kiwis can apply if they are a resident.
 
I feel like a lot of the HMs are going to dislike him no matter what, and I honestly think his accent/demeanour is a big part of it. He's just a confident person and that + him being foreign = bad combination. Thought it was hilarious that Travis made the distinction between Canadians and Americans and how Leo comes off as more American for being more vocal. Canadians are vocal too, Travvy, lol.

The funny thing is, I think he's actually really simple as a person. He obviously wants to be liked and seen and not dismissed, but all the talk about him being fake is just misinterpreting his differences. I've heard this is an issue between Canadians vs Australians - Aussies are generally a lot more blunt. Canadians are generally a lot less so.

Anyway, I hope he smartens up and stops being so despised. He needs to win Ryan over because Ryan's controlling the herd! Not an easy task though considering Ryan's a huge shit talker.
 
Well, some of us Americans can be very blunt, but we just feel like we have to be nice even when we don't want to. It's called "being appropriate".

Americans are generally more blunt than Canadians, but yeah, the "let's be friendly until it gets too awkward" thing is North American, for sure. Leo has that about him and I think it makes them all uncomfortable.
 
The HMs were so welcoming with Layla. It was probably because she was so unthreatening. With Leo, it's like they all want him to be deported LOL.
 
He should still try to prove he's an actual "Aussie bloke" who isn't just living on the Gold Coast for tax purposes.
 
What exactly are the tax benefits of the GC?? None of my family in Aus lives there, so I have no clue what the deal is.
