I meant Dave and Ryan being nasty, and you know it. Nice try.
I think that all of them, would have taken the $10,000 each in the first week. Priya most definitely manipulated Katie into going along with her. But that said, Katie had her own mind and was able to make her own choice. She could have said NO, I dont think she took much persuading, I just think she wanted a reason not to look greedy, to the other housemates, or had someone else to blame, if it backfired on them. Its now been that long ago and we get such fragmented footage from the house, in the minimal hours that they put it to air, that its all been forgotten now.
I personally WOULD have taken it and I wouldnt have given in to the other housemates sense of entitlement and paid the exorbitant prices for food and drink etc, but I'm a thick skinned old bastard and what they threw at me, would have been water off a bulls back. Having watched all the BB series, I would know that it had put a target on my back, as regards the next nominations, but I would have said its a game, we dont know who is going to be offered what, next week. It defeated their reasons for taking the money, once they started spending it. I thought it was pathetic to buy immunity for one more week, it showed that they didnt have much confidence in their own ability to get very far in the game.
As for Aisha and Travis, at their ages, I thought they made a stupid short sighted decision not to take the $50,000. I thought Aisha was pretty selfish, because she knew that she was already going to be walking out with at least $20,000 courtesy of Lawson. With her wearing the trousers in the Traisha fauxmance, Travis was easily persuaded, that it was a lot more fun in there. Duh, I'm sure I could have had a lot more fun spending $25,000 or $45,000. They gave their reasons for not taking the money, as money couldnt buy the BB experience, but they had ALREADY enjoyed the BB experience, a lot more than Gemma did. The brainless duo, couldnt work out that there would only be one ultimate winner of BB and with the rate that the prize pool was diminishing, there might not be too much left, for the eventual winner. Travis's ego has him thinking that he can win BB 2014, if only he knew how close he had been, to having the least number of saves, some weeks.
Priya has, in my opinion, had her game face on since week 1. I have no arguments about that, but she showed a nasty controlling, manipulating streak and was always looking for people to form alliances with and with Jason, she had the perfect foil, to courier the gossip, back and forth between all 4 corners of the house. I was surprised that he was evicted as early as he was, I thought he was way more entertaining than Teflon, who we didnt even know was still in the house. I thought the relationship that he struck up with Dion, was one that would endure on the outside, they genuinely looked like they were enjoying each others company, especially in the dance contest.
As to the eventual winner, I dont really care any more, as long as it ISN'T Teflon. It wouldnt bother me if Priya won, because she has played them like a violin. Personally, I would like to see Dave win now, but his downfall is trusting Teflon. Teflon would throw him under a bus to save himself and certainly wouldnt have been giving any thoughts as to where Dave was on the nominations board this week, like Dave was looking out for him. He had to endure the first few weeks of being the odd one out, I think people are only gravitating towards him now, because they realise that he must have some sort of a following, on the outside, because they probably thought he would be the next one to go, after Gemma and yet he will still be there for the last week, by the look of it. Anyway with no programme until Monday, if you read this far, its occupied 10 minutes of your life
It's a bad look for Dave, unless hatred is considered a good thing now.

I would have taken it as well and but probably would have disclosed it came off the prize money. $180,000 is still a good chunk of change for the winner.) I'm not sure I would have caved on the meals either. I've survived much worse in my life than anything the HM's could do to me. However, diplomacy goes a long way so might have bought a couple meals for all to share. Trying italics for quoting you for the rest as it keeps putting the whole thing as a quote.

Nothing to disagree with you on there

Now we'll disagree. I don't think she was any more manipulative than other housemates. It is a game after all. I think she made some genuine friendships with Jason and other HM's. Any msg's we've seen have had positive things to say about Priya. Skye seems more manipulative to me. She's trying to fool not only the HM's but the public as well with the persona she's trying to portray. Skye has usually been given a favourable edit until recently though we've seen some of her nasty side come through. Ex-HM's have all said there is more nastiness there than we are seeing. I'm sure without the live feeds there are many sides to the HM's we aren't seeing. I am definitely over Skye though

I want Priya to win (1st choice) or Dave to win (2nd choice). They are both people I would love to get to know if I got the chance and both are playing the game without pretending they're not.
Now I've added to your 10 mins a few minutes of my own
I can understand it though. If I forget to change it to the Canadian dictionary it will either change correctly spelt words to something totally different or it will take out the "u" (eg. change colour to color)
The family's to nominate in the last week ??? They'll fuck it up for sure... Although it's probably a gimmick & BB will give family just 1 point to nom with...
.I really hope David is not this naïve. However, I guess he deals with black & white, 2 dimensional people most of the time. No offence to Radiologist, I'd be happy for David to do my X-rays
but perhaps he does miss true colours sometimes...or is just extremely stealthy!!!

Skye outdoes Ryan in terms of putting up a performance about 20 : 1I did say "As to the eventual winner, I dont really care any more, as long as it ISN'T Teflon". I hope your favourite wins, as long as it isnt Teflon
Yes, I fear you're right. I don't think Ryan has delivered enough/worked hard enough to warrant winning, but then again there could be plenty of footage on the cutting room floor. Big Brother has a very big hand in steering public opinion.
. In case it isnt obvious, I dont like the bloke. I think he has been given too easy a run. I dont think anyone should get an easy run, to win a considerable amount of money. I would rather TRAVIS win it, than Teflon. Now, thats senility showing up there.
