Have anyone's opinions of HMs drastically changed?

Im actually warming to Rohan, I like that he stood up for himself and he actually seems more normal tha his introduction would lead you to beleive. There is a 'cool' group of the fitness meatheads that a ruling the roost and add nothing with bland personalities. When they said they cant talk to Rohan because he doesnt work out or play sports, that sold to me that they are actually the boring ones who have nothing to offer than their bodies.
 
Like others, I intensely disliked Tim at the start. Now I quite like him.
I really liked Tully but now she's one of my least favourites.
I liked Heidi on the first day or two, now she's one of my least favourites.
And I'm liking Ben less, it may be influenced by reading this forum but he's now just sitting in the middle for me while I try to work him out.
Oh and Jasmine, I thought she'd be okay but she's coming across as a bit of a snarky biatch in the 60 seconds or so of footage I've seen of her. But since that's all I have to go off, I'll have to settle for that.

Tahan is the one person I feel the same about - I still really don't like her.

More than a few:
Tahan-I thought she was a vapid princess but really like the spunk and no holds barred game playing now.
Tim-thought he was a no hoper. Now he's probably my favourite.
Tully-thought she was going to be the one to watch and now I'm happy when she isn't on the screen.
Ben-thought he was sweet and endearing. Now I'm relatively sure he has people locked in his basement at home.

Yep have to agree. Though I have never been endeared with Tully from the start. Thought there would have been more to Matt but he seems to be content to sail though. Xavier I waiver from liking to disliking to liking to disliking to liking again. Drew and Mikkayla I like. The rest have their moments now and then when I think there might be more to them. As nothing is set in stone I'm sure this will change as the show goes on. :)
 
Negative to positive:
Tim - narcissism seems to have declined, certainly adds a lot of value
Tahan - was a probable pot plant, but turns out to have some passion

Positive to negative:
Xavier - thought I'd like him, but seems to be too high on game-playing and too-low on personality.
Tully - expected more from someone with media-smarts, now a spoilt brat, but I'd keep her in for interest.

Neutral to negative:
Sharon - lost me when she said she couldn't be bothered talking to people, what would lead you go on the show if that's your attitude?

Positive to neutral:
Ben - he seemed someone very different, now it's all seeming a little more superficial.
 
Positive to negative:
- Tully
- Mikayla
- Xavier
- Ben
- Heidi

The same:
- Jade
- Drew
- Ed
- Caleb
- Matthew
- Tim
- Jasmine

Negative to positive:
- Tahan
- Rohan
- The sisters

I'm really shocked by those I like more now. Rohan seemed like a narcissist in his intro video, but he seems like a nice guy. Either that or he really is a good actor. The sisters are sweet, too (so far). Tahan has a big personality and although I'm not sure I would like her a lot in person, I like her for the show. She's stronger than I thought.

The ones that are the same are mostly because I liked them to start with and still do, except for Matt and Jasmine. I find them bland. Ed is a bit bland too but it's because I think he wants so much to be a good guy that it can seem boring. It's a good trait though.

Positive to negatives - Xavier, wanted to like, but he's turned out to be odd in a bad way. Heidi is annoying, although I wanted so much to like her. Ben's act is getting old. Mikayla really is too much of a control freak as is Tully. Tully I wanted to like based off her seeming like a cool girl with a sad past, but she's blown up a lot.
 
One of the things that made me really detest Tim was his lack of compassion towards the halfway house inhabitants at the beginning. I was really hoping he'd end up in there the second week to get some just desserts, which he did. I was expecting him to be a total hypocrite about it and expect the fair treatment he didn't want to give the HMs in there the week before, but he took the whole experience in his stride and didn't whinge at all. That's when I realised he really is in it for the game and to enjoy the most intense experience that he can, whilst being as entertaining as possible - he's going for broke. Unlike Tully, for example, who whinges or cries every time something doesn't go her way, or Ben, who oscillates between contrived exhibitionism and total withdrawal. Did they not realise what they were letting themselves in for? They don't seem to be enjoying the experience at all.

First of all I thought Jade was okay because she seemed more intelligent than your average lingerie model. But her recent nauseatingly immature flirtations with Ed (and also Matt) have made me think twice, and I think it's cast the seemingly perfect Ed in a slightly negative light too, so he's wise to keep her at arm's length.

Tully seemed okay to start with, but she's been doing her utmost to help cultivate a clique in the house, and ostracise the people she doesn't see as "popular" or beneficial to her, and what's really weird is she seems to so much favour the "meathead" guys in favour of the female HMs. And as I mentioned, any time anything unpredictable happens (and being regularly undermined is pretty much one of the most guaranteed aspects of being in the BB house, because, duh, it's entertaining) she has a total meltdown.
 
Tully has dropped hugely for me, her tears and tantrums at every single change has gotten old, as has her manipulative stirring. Ben also has gone down, the whole man/boy thing is getting uncomfortable to watch. Matt comes across as a nice guy, however I think he's being very careful about what he's doing in there and avoiding any chance of being nominated... he seriously needs to lose the mo.

Was never particularly keen on Heidi and she's done nothing to change my opinion. Ed was a neither for me but this last week I've seen little to like about him so he's heading into negative territory.

Tim rose after nominations this week, but I find his behaviour a bit like Ben's, just not as sooky. Tahan and Mikkalya I'm liking more for their straight forward attitude and I'm really enjoying the sisters in the house and each week I find more to like.

Jade and Drew I like as I think they handled their task with good humour and grace, it can't have been easy having to get that intimate with someone you barely know.
 
Initially, I quite liked Jade for being reasonably smart and well spoken, and while I still think she's well spoken, the "Australian population: 100 000 000", high opinion of self and attempts to ingratiate herself with all viable males have made her less interesting.

Tully, I didn't warm to initially but I did think she could be interesting. The edit to show her every whinge and sook hasn't really changed my mind but now I see her and think 'Oh ffs what's the problem this time?'.

Rohan, I went from finding him mildly annoying to now thinking he's quite a thoughtful, tolerant, nice bloke who has something to offer if welcomed and given a chance.

Tim. A tad repelled by his childish show-off behaviour at first but now I at least appreciate that he's true to his own moral compass, lacks malice, and I think if people are genuine, he's the type that'll be sincerely supportive.

That's it so far :)

edit to add- I also now view Ben's behaviour and idiosyncrasies with more cynicism than I did in Week 1.

i dislike tully a bit more with each passing day. honestly with the current 6 in halfway house, i am just happy for them to all get evicted. :)
 
My opinion on just about every HM has changed.

Matt: initially I liked him, thought he was an honest, good guy. Now his (almost sexist?) egotistical nature is just ticking me off. He's just really arrogant.
Ed: He's playing it safe and I don't like it. Initially like nearly everyone else I was in love with 'prince charming' because he honestly seemed charming, but as of yet he's shown no wit, no humour, no nothing really. And what the hell does he have against Mikkayla? Even Matt let up on her during yesterday's nominations (4th), which is big considering he hates 'bossy' people.
Caleb: He's always been a bit of a meh HM for me.

Tim: full 180, initially I hated his voice, his seemingly pointless antics, but he grew on me within the first week and now I'm rooting for him over everyone else.
Mikkayla: I used to root for her, and I still like her, but she's not one of my favourites anymore. Stahp picking on Ben, Mikky!
Ben: I found him a little contrived to begin with, and I still do suspect him sometimes, but either way he's shown nothing but kindness, good humour and a good heart so far so I like him.
Heidi: been a meh HM for me from the start. My respect for her has diminished after her use of the 'insider' superpower. I was kind of hoping she was secretly a tactical genius.

Jade: initially liked her a lot, now I don't like her as much. Still like her though.
The sisters: Turning point for me was when they accepted Big Bro's fake tan challenge. I didn't expect those two to do it without complaint; I think most of the other girls in the house would have refused after two or three, but they kept going.
Tahan: I liked her, then I disliked her, now I like her again. She's just really honest.
Tully: Liked her to begin with, find her really self-absorbed and petty now.

Drew: no change in opinion, he's still awesome. A+ for Drew-y. His recent broship with Tim is just icing on top of the cake.

I've changed my opinion about some of the HMs. In alphabetical order (not including evicted HMs):

Ben: At first I thought he was kind of funny and interesting but then I began to think it's just an act. I still think he's acting most of the time and I don't particularly like him but I suppose i don't dislike him either.

Caleb: Had no opinion of him for the first few weeks because he didn't do anything. I'd probably still barely notice if gets evicted.

Drew: My opinion of him hasn't really changed. I still like him.

Ed: Went from neutral to dislike. When he's not being boring he's being awkward and annoying.

Heidi: I always forget she's there. She's ok I suppose, but I wouldn't care if she was evicted.

Jade: I liked her during the faux marriage, then disliked her with the Jade-Ed thing, and now I'm starting to like her again but my opinion on her could change easily.

Katie & Lucy: In the beginning I didn't like them because they seemed really fake and way too positive and happy. Now it seems like they're showing their real personalities a bit more, so for now I don't have anything against them.

Matthew: Always been totally boring to watch. I hope he gets evicted soon.

Mikkayla: I like her right at the start but I've just liked her less and less over time. She annoys me.

Tahan: I thought I'd hate her but she's become one of my favourite HMs. I want her to win.

Tim: Half the time I like him and half the time I hate him. I might never make up my mind about him.

Tully: I've always loved Tully. <3

My opinions are pretty much the same as this except I've always liked Jade, and I do 180's with Tully daily. Mikkayla is slightly annoying but she's ok, and Tahan is ok also but I don't want her to win

I try to have no opinion of them for the first few weeks, or to just like them all -
by then it's all fallen apart for the bulk of them, and they become the supporting cast, the stars have emerged:):):)
