why do people with an attitude think they will get anywhere on bb?

[cardi88]

every year we get a few housemates with an attitude problem and they always act like they are going to win - but every year without fail its always the nicer/funnier person that wins - when will people learn that having a gobby - i speak my mind / i dont care what people think of me / im not here to make friends / if i dont like you i'll tell you to your face - attitude wont get you anywhere in this world - im not advocating being two faced and introverted but having a little dimplomacy must be a better way (omg i sound like my mother!!)

This is a really good question in my opinion. I�m surprised that no one has answered it yet.

I think that the most objectionable, opinionated people are the younger contestants. Often they are not long (maybe 2-3 years) out of school (or college) and they believe that the �law of the playground� still rules in the real world. Often they have very limited knowledge of the so-called �real world� and continue to behave like they�re in the playground. Such as, verbally attacking people and putting them down, claiming that their �victim� has �no respect� for them, when they have done nothing to earn respect.

Sometimes the 'bullying set' will receive some support from likeminded people, but ultimately the vast majority of viewers will see past the rhetoric and throw them out.

The real pity is, that bullies in BB and in real life never see their actions as being bullying.

It�s a sad indictment on our society when some people see bullying as �being real� and when they tear verbal strips off another, they claim, �I�m my own person, innit?�

I also agree. I just found that uncomfortable to watch last night. I don't understand why she got so upset over ruddy chips!! In my opinion it was just an excuse to attack someone. I can't stand bullies/people like that. I don't think I will be able to watch her again tonight.
