David Appreciation Thread

Sweetgeek said:
Ok, so David has an issue with saying whatever is on his mind, but I take this flaw as a strength too. Because how else would we truly gain an insight about someone, not only that but at times he will express exactly what some of us are thinking and hit the mark too. Example, telling Skye that Leo's tongue is not down his throat hahahaha... best comeback of the night!

I understood how Priya would feel and I thought it was great she spoke up for herself, but I don't think David deserved the malicious comments from people, because he was not being malicious. He said to bb the other day how he would love people to talk to in the house. So lets focus on that for a second. He clearly feels like he doesn't have a good bond in the house with anyone and it is him and the house. So he got a little excited at having some companionship and people who don't question every move or word he says. Do you know how much weight that would take off your shoulders? A great deal! For once he feels he can be who he is without thinking he will be judged. The incident in the pool was just a case of things that went too far without real realization of what was happening imo. So once Priya explained herself he spoke to the rest of them. HE SPOKE TO THEM! That tells me that he wanted to make sure that there was no misunderstanding that this was a gang up of any sort, he was remorseful. I do wish he just said sorry and the others too and left it, but thinking about it, it's human nature to go on the defensive about it, especially when you know what happened wasn't your intent to begin with. No excuses regardless, because I do believe the person that feels uncomfortable should be the one acknowledged at the end of the day and you should put your own feeling aside for such things, but my point is that David is a good person and like grown adults they resolved the matter. The end!

My issue now is that David will be made to get a bad edit from all this when really these things happen everyday and are so quickly misinterpreted. He has always been the leftover for hms and I can understand wanting some appreciation for who you are rather than disapproval for what you do and say.

^Yes. We like who we like and you and I both know what it's like having our faves slated and or pitted against each other in threads.

Not bothered by it girl. And you've said it all beautifully here.
 
@David's beard
I disagree. Dave started it by having a dig at Priya in front of the newbies. Her taking the opportunity to pull him up on it was... defence. HAHA

I personally think it was an overreaction from Priya. But hey that's up to her. She felt what she felt. What I find funny is she was talking like it was mostly an issue that the other guys joined if and yet she initially targeted Dave. Dave started it all as a joke I feel but he didn't ask them to join in. He didn't ask Tom to comment. And in fact he said that whole thing about letting the women tear shreds because it's the best thing and I thought that was him trying to stop the scenario. He apologised to Priya and even helped her talk it out with the other guys. Even Priya said something like Dave is the last person who would want to gang up or target someone. The whole Aussie culture thing may put people a little offside if anything. Even though I don't think anything racist was meant behind it. Priyas reactions may get people offside too so it may all balance out anyways.

I liked David's edit tonight. Priya was just being a whiny sook. All her allies have one by one been shown the door over the last couple of weeks. She must know she's on her last legs so she's moving into panic mode and is creating drama for the sake of.

Take on David at your own risk. I mean, ask Lisa how trying to paint David as a misogynist worked out for her. Goodbye!

I actually think Priya may have been looking for an opportunity to make the new guys look bad. She has been living with David for over 50 days now - she would know his sense of humour. I think it was an over-reaction on her behalf. But I think it was also strategic as well.[DOUBLEPOST=1414584810][/DOUBLEPOST]

What it shows is that Priya sees David as a serious threat and she knows her time is up. Therefore, she grabbed the first opportunity she could to make him look bad, and tbh it will backfire on her

Agreed. She was just waiting for the opportunity. Like I just said in my post a second ago, she was just waiting for the chance.
 
Priya herself admitted she knew it was a joke. I think she just didn't like how it was making her look and how the new guys were joining in with Dave. Maybe she really did feel ganged up on but I just don't think she likes there was this impression of her being put out in the open in front of the newbies. The fact that Dave said it while Priya was there says to me even more that it was a joke. If he was being malicious he'd have said it behind her back to the newbies. I don't know I'm overtired atm so my brain is trying to think too hard. Plus I think she was trying to make some kind of statement to newbies. Like don't mess with me and I'm alpha female and all that.

Priya has been living with David for weeks now, she would know his sense of humour. I'm pretty sure she even said something like that. If it was just them two somewhere else in the house and it happened, she wouldn't have cared. It's because she had an audience and new people joining in too. It gave her the opportunity to shame David in front of the new people but also make the new people look bad. She's a strategic player and she knows David is a threat.

@natalia
in a situation where you have just been accused of being defensive, of course Priya wouldn't say fuck off right then and there.. that would just reaffirm their point. If I was her I would have felt ganged up on as well.

I get that and ok, fine she felt ganged up on but she could have addressed the whole situation in a less condescending manner.



Priya took david aside and said “They don’t even know that I defend every time. But right now they believed what you said and went on with it,”

Oh shut up!
They know who you are 100%, they've seen the bloody show and definitely know more about you than David (and even who she has nominated) so don't act all "oh you were changing their opinions on me"

She's so fake. Definitely over reacted.
She said many times to Skye she thinks David should NOT still be in the house and for sure she's smart enough to know that David is popular.
She took a simple situation to attack him so he could look bad.
I'm sure worse things have happened in the BB house that would have offended Priya, yet this one we got shown because she literally shat in davids reputation with her 'I am so much better than you approach'

I liked Priya but this was just pathetic.
 
Interesting that this episode got some teams fired up today. Though whichever housemate that has 'a bash' at Priya would get the same criticism regardless though from her fans :p I didn't approve of how she was being chanted at by the group but it's water under the bridge now. We already know that Dave has a habit of speaking his mind for good or bad but this episode hasn't made me re-evaluate my reasoning on why he's still my fave. He's being himself and there's enough of him demonstrating that at previous episodes: he wouldn't suddenly possess ill intent at such a time.

Why does Lina ask David so many personal questions? What's next? Is she going to ask for a blood and DNA sample?
Click to expand...
she sounds like a crazy stalker doesn't she? I thought you liked that :p Lol. I'm only joking btw :)

I think she really is interested in David and wants to understand him better and I really like that. For once he probably feels like someone wants to know of him rather than him ask them questions. A nice change I think
 
davidftw said:
That's came totally out of left field. Is there some sort of bromance brewing between those two? Even though we haven't seen much of it, I can actually picture them having a laugh together.

They're literally the only two housemates where I don't want to fast forward everytime they talk. If there was a bromance developing, I'm not gonna lie...that's going to be hot.

Waiting for that moment Lina starts watching David sleeping. Her interest in his private life is.....interesting. I'm keeping one beady eye on her. Ha! O_O:laugh:
