Bullshit.....It was the other way round.

I've read a few posts speaking about George Galloway scheming to get Preston in line to be nominated. Using a DS article as evidence.
http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds8670.html

But the truth is that Preston has had George Galloway in his sights long before George got nominated.

Preston has been bitching about Galloway with jodie a few days before it was revealed that George was up for eviction.

As it turned out Preston nominated George.....George did not nominate Preston.
To make out that George has suddenly decided to target Preston for nomination for no reason is absolute nonsense, he has good reason to see him as a rival who wants him out.

The article says that George suspected that Preston nominated him....and he would be right because he did.
Yet I'm reading several posts speaking about preston as though he's a nice genuine, decent bloke who is above all the skullduggery.
As far as I can see he's no better than anyone else, and isn't this innocent bystander that some make out him to be.

Preston targetted George long before George mentioned that he felt Preston had conspired to get him nominated.

Preston had been slagging George off long before nominations.

Both Jodie and Preston's views about the 'old' contestants are asolutely identical. In some places in their nomination reasons they were almost word for word identical.

Not forgetting Preston's own shiftiness in the Diary Room tonight where Preston asked BB if other contestants probably know who nominated them.
That's probably because he probably realised that George knew that he nominated him and is slightly paranoid.
Plus Preston literally campaigned to the viewers to vote out George because he has 'shifty' eyes, and that both Pete and Jodie love each other really.

So it was Preston who had the knives out for George first before George was onto him.

But it's not just George that Preston has set his sights on nominating.
His discussions with Jodie about 'old' contestants that MIGHT spoil their fun indicates that they both intend to target contestants for nomination in the future who fit into their definition of 'old'.

'Old' contestants MIGHT spoil their fun??
And where is this 'fun' that Preston and Jodie are supposed to be having?
Where is this brand of 'fun' that they are speaking of?

I can't say that I'm entertained watching all this 'Preston' fun,..I've seen better funerals.

So all this stuff posted about Preston being such a decent, honest, down to earth guy is absolute nonsense.
He is no more an innocent than any of the others, and is just as much of a bitch as anyone.
But any sign of trouble, he's outta there. He doesn't really defend his friends in there by putting himself on the line,...he just sits on the fence and lets them fry.

And another poster and I mentioned that Preston seems such a square before Dennis even mentioned it in his own nominations. The mockney crap doesn't convince me either.
I think he's a poseur, with as much of an ego as others who wants to project his own image as being the voice of reason.

the Voice of reason often means the 'peacemaker' who doesn't make peace in BB terms. They just sit on the fence, stir the pot, but don't get involved with anything.
nice if that's what you like to watch and find that entertaining.

Preston reminds me in some ways of Scott from BB4, who always promised that he had a lot more to offer if we kept him in,we would see a lot more of what he's like in the future, ......but never delivered on his promise.
I would imagine Preston reeling that kind of line out to viewers should he ever get nominated,...which I doubt very much he ever will.

I think he's as fake as his 'Mockney' image that he seems to try to project.

Anyway, I just wanted to say this because I don't think he's this 'decent, innocent, down to earth, honest, bloke' that some people insist that he is.
I beleive he's as competitive as anybody else in there, (which I'm not saying is necessarily bad in itself), but it contradicts this romanticised image of him that some seem to be trying to project.

So far he plays people like others do,....but he does it in a very boring way.
Obviously he's going to fly under the radar and get far, I accept that, but I just wanted to post what I feel about him anyway, as it feels like a lot of people just assume that he must be a really nice bloke who is above all the histrionics just because he doesn't feature a lot on the highlights.

Trying to get George evicted because he has 'shifty' eyes is a bit crap. To be honest I find that Preston looks pretty shifty himself, and his eyes are a bit too close together too.

Just on that one point -- there's been talk at least that bad between George and Rula.

But that's them.
I'm talking about Preston and the perception of him being above all that kind of stuff.

You also said "It was the other way round."

Yes it was.
Preston has been targetting George long before George rightly suspected that Preston nominated him.

George and Rula didn't specifically target Preston, George didn't even nominate him.

[Gaz22]

I fully agree.

His little speech about "letting the young people handle BB" was poor.

Ok; I see what you mean

However, I think George has been influencing nominations; and aren't the posts you mentioned about "Galloway scheming to get Preston in line to be nominated" now - ie for the second set of nominations? It seems to me, given what George seems to have been up to so far, that that could well be true, and his revealing his suspicions of Preston could be part of that.

You could be right that Preston targetted George first; and those other posters could be right about "George Galloway scheming to get Preston in line to be nominated"

Love to read the first post but lost the will to live!



Wasn't Alrightmate one of Barrymore's catch phrases?

Anyway: Alrightmate = out to get Preston however they can!

Hardly needed a post longer than the bible to say that did it?

Yes that was my initial point.

And a general point being that Preston isn't really true to this very positive image that is currently being portrayed of him on the forum by some.

Yes, I'm sure that George will now be directly targetting Preston if he has discovered that it was he who nominated him now. Which I suppose anybody would do once they discover somebody is directly trying to go for them. the thing is though, that it was made out that George is suddenly doing this for no good reason, and the fact that it's probably due to George finding out that Preston was gunning for him was completely ignored.

That's the second post tonight where you have decided to take a personal swipe at me instead of discussing the content of my post.

If you haven't read my post,...then you aren't really qualified to comment on it.

If you don't like reading long posts, then you really shouldn't be answering them should you?

If you take personal offence to any criticism of Preston, then maybe you should stick to the Preston Appreciation thread.

Stop making personal criticisms of me or complain about the length of my posts.
I don't do it to you, so please show me the same respect.

If you have anything positive to say about Preston, you should quite comfortably be able to be constructive instead of taking petty potshots and personal insults.
If you aren't able to be constructive, please don't insult me just because you don't agree with me.

No not good at all.
It sounds very snobby and elitist, as though who he defines as 'young' people are somehow better.

It was an 'old' person (Rula) who consoled Jodie when she was crying after being nominated,...so I guess 'old' people have their uses when it's convenient.

[metafis]

George wants to win. He is very adapt at political manipulation. Go for the one you think may be your biggest rival and discredit them, try to make them look bad. It's a well tried and tested political device.
That's my opinion of the situation.

[balth_dire]

I agree with every word of your post Alrightmate. I mentioned in another thread that he never seems to take sides during an argument, he's either quiet, or absent.

I have a sinking feeling that this trend will continue to pass unnoticed by the powers that be.

Anyone who has Galloway's number is probably a decent bloke in my book. Those who don't... Well...

Likewise!
A 'man of his age and class' should know better!
GG is a control freak - manipulative, childish, egotistical & quite 'crazed' IMO. The thought of him being an elected MOP is very scary indeed.
Preston has shown a maturity seemingly absent in those HM's that are actually 'older'!
He seems to have a much more rounded and sensible outlook. He was trying to advocate 'that they just all tried to get on', but was shouted down by the Vitriolic Three - who are hell bent on crucifying Jodie & no doubt, Preston & Chantelle, once they get JM out.
People often criticise the young - but in this instance they seem to be setting the much better example.

[max25]

I agree 100% alrightmate its good to see that you can have an opinion based on what you see as an individual, and not be one of the typical brainwashed sheep who watch bb

Are you George Galloway's parlimentary agent? Jeez, never has the expression "me think (you) doth protest too much" seemed so appropriate.

Gorgy Porgy, is an old hand at the world of spin, intrigue and self-agrandising - Preston is a pop "star". I think I know who is scheming here!

And as an aside - George's protestations that he wants Barrysnore to win is frankly chunk inducing!

[junkelfunk]

Galloway is CBB's Derek laud, and is using exactly the same tactics.

They are both VILE humans, and the public wont be fooled.

[lulu g]

George, given his profession, would have been a major disappointment if he hadn't engaged in a spot of scheming/manipulation. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing if Preston or anyone else does it either (although I don't believe it excuses any old kind of bad behaviour). It is a game show after all.
