spot on Insider!!! Finally someone who didn't play it safe! So many people I speak with were bashing Tim and I decided to make a special effort to see what all the fuss was about. Turns out I like him the most out of all of them. I have to say, I would have been one of the ones who gave sooky lala her hairdryer back and gritted my teeth in doing so. Therefore it was really refreshing to see someone do what THEY want and to hell with the consequences. I find him to be the most entertaining housemate by far.

Tim and Drew are in a way better bromance than the other two for sure!! I think Tim has helped us to see a whole new side of Drew. I think this show would be a complete non-event without Tim. He is the highlight and like some others, I was also ready to write him off from day one. He has also caused a stir within my own household. My family despise him and I am the one shouting from the rooftops about how amusing he is.

I didn't like Tim until he went into the safehouse and when he took it with such good grace and made the most of it, I grew to like him. Strangely I also like Tahan who has become less of a whinger and quite look forward to Tim eating ice cream every week and depriving her of her hairdryer. After the Tully nomination and the Saturday Challenge he is one of my favourites to win and certainly makes the show worth watching. Imagine the borefest if it were all about Caleb and Matt......
Yes I think the turning point was when Tim got nominated and went into the half way house. When he was in the safe house he kept on saying things like he didn't want to give the half way house food and stuff like that and whilst I loved it and thought he was great, others thought he was an arrogant douche and everyone was praying he got nominated and got sent into the half way house so he got a dose of his own medicine.
Anyway, everyone's prayers came true, he got nominated and got sent into the half way house, only except instead of sulking and getting a taste of his own medicine, Tim didn't complain at all, he formed a close bond with all of his fellow half way housemates, had fun, and he became best friends with Drew and they created a lot of clever games to keep themselves occupied. Since then, everyone has started to like him and his nominations when he shouted at Tully sealed a lot of people as fans. Me personally? I have loved him since the moment he walked on stage and met Sonia on Launch Night and I will love him for the rest of his stay in the house.

Tim has quickly gone from being my least favourite housemate to my favourite. I think it was "DID YOU GET THAT TULLY?!!!!!" that sealed it for me.

Yes. Every time I look at him, I see a naughty school boy. Especially when he does this...

They have some similarities but Paul was more mature and more of an argumentative shit stirrer compared to the prankster Tim. Paul is my second favourite housemate of all time and I don't think Tim has quite made it to the same level yet imo. Tim reminds me more of like a naughty little boy and I am not the first one to say this. He is great to watch.

Hes being openly and unapologetically selfish which is what I love. I hope they keep doing it throughout the whole season and I hope he keeps eating the ice cream. It's a hair dryer after all so have fun with it. If he was holding an insulin injection or something actually important that would be different. i

Agreed. I personally don't like his selfishness but I do like it because it's funny, if that makes sense.
It makes perfect sense. Not necessarily a nice thing in the real world but in terms of entertainment it is very entertaining. Many fans of the show base their favourite housemates on who they think are the nicest and who they would get along with the most in the real world. My favourite housemates are simply those who entertain me the most. Doesn't matter if they are lovable people or hateable villains. I have a very different mix of people as my favourite housemates in terms of personality and moral compasses because to me, as a fan of the show, those things don't matter, the only thing that matters is who entertains me the most.

Yes, that's why I have a list of the HMs I don't like but want to keep in because they're entertaining (Tim, Mikkayla and Jade). It surprises me when people want to get rid of the HMs they don't like, rather than the housemates that do nothing and are boring. If someone is unlikeable on tv, it's generally because they have a strong personality, and that's what's fun to watch.
When he first entered the house I was like omg this guy is gonna annoy me, and he did during the first days when he was so selfish but after that I actually found myself laughing and agreeing with him at some points. Then he went into the halfway house and actually became likeable, I'm really rooting for him now and I love that he stirs things up and he is who he is and not pretending to be nice to everyone. He's much more entertaining and interesting than Ed or Matt imo

This. Although I genuinely like Tim and I don't find him annoying, there are other HMs that I love to hate and would much rather they stay in the house than the boring meatheads and models with absolutely zero personality.
