Housemate #1 - Matt (Soldier)

I love the fact that you think for there to be a gay housemate it has to be classed as a "token" housemate.
How insulting.
It's the truth...
Not denying Matt has a strong story, my first impressions of him are actually quite positive compared to a few on here, I am just saying he hasn't generated much interest or discussion in the grand scheme of things. Even if they do reveal someone more in line with Matt, I think a lady in her 40's who the producers feel has a story Australia will fall in love with would still receive a bigger reaction from the public compared to Matt.I disagree... My reasoning is that it will be someone the producers feel is in line with Matt... Someone with a story they feel Australia will fall in love with... Like it or not Matt does seem to have a fairly strong story being a veteran and all...
Anyway we do have differing opinions in that I believe they will reveal someone who is more unique and will receive a bigger reaction from the audience to build some momentum in the advertising. I understand what you are saying though and I understand why you think they would do that and it would not surprise me even slightly if they did. Who knows if they will even reveal another Housemate tonight though?

I think the fact he has the 'soldier' element will carry him far. And he has the gym body too. He's already at a major advantage I think. Which of course means I'll try and vote him off first chance I get haha. I need an underdog and my underdog last year (Charne) got the boot the very first eviction!!

Does his Mum's advice reveal anything about his personality?
Matt's mum Carol O'Neill said she was proud to see her son diving into every opportunity that life throws at him.
Her advice to him before heading into lockdown? Don't hurt anyone's feelings.
"I just said to him that if he talks about anyone, make sure he would say that to their face,'' Carol said.
So is there anyone else who doesn't give a shit he is a soldier? To me that is almost a negative not a positive. I don't see soldiers as heroes at all.

I absolutely believe Australian soldiers are heroes. Just ask anyone in this country who has lived through a natural disaster how they felt when the army trucks rolled in with supplies and much needed aide, and you will find they say the same thing.
You don't see them as heroes because you haven't needed them...yet.
I guess we'll have to disagree on this one.I absolutely believe Australian soldiers are heroes. Just ask anyone in this country who has lived through a natural disaster how they felt when the army trucks rolled in with supplies and much needed aide, and you will find they say the same thing.

Amen on that. they are not heroes. they signed up to do a job and get paid well to do it. A hero is someone who does something altruistic.

they are doing the jov they are being paid to do.

Yes they are, They are paid to do it, as are teachers, doctors, police, nurses, fire fighters, paramedics, disability workers and a whole cluster of other professions, which I consider heroes.
So what is your badly articulated point?!
