...would they be as popular as they are?

I doubt the producers would have picked them anyhoo, were that the case.

ashf7 · 14-06-2007, 14:21

they wouldnt be in the house

Ziggur · 14-06-2007, 14:21

Say "Please" and retract the ginger part.

Funky-town · 14-06-2007, 14:22

ginger people can be attractive, but i do think if they were ugly they wouldnt be liked as much..... its their prettyness that adds to their sweetness

I think their prettiness is their saving grace.

the ginger twins would have to speak English, not scream, not bounce off the furniture and be entertaining in a less 'pink' way.

so the short answer is no - they would not be so popular - which is a pity - i miss them already

BUUURN THEM!!!!!

Perhaps not (though being overweight and not especially good looking didn't stop Laura from being very popular initially).

But that wouldn't mean they're popular because of how they look.

It's just that, for some people, bad looks would get in the way of seeing their other qualities.

Also, it has to be said that if they were very overweight, they probably wouldn't be as energetic as they are. So if they still had the same personalities, it would be a lot harder to see that they did.

14-06-2007, 14:24

I don't believe looks and personality can be separated in this way.

If the twins were ginger, spotty and overweight they wouldn't be the twins. We are all to some extent a product of the way we look.

mitacond · 14-06-2007, 14:26

They would problably not have been chosen and they would defo not be liked by the GBP as they are not blonde perfect and silly.

SparkleBabe · 14-06-2007, 14:26

They are the dullest in there. BB obviousley thought it would be a wonderful gimmick having identical twins in there, but like most things this series its backfired.

And no OP, if they were fat and ugly men of a certain age would not be fawning over them as they are doing.

Board member feels the need to create two virtually identical threads having a go at the same people within hours of each other...she is jealous?

Not on this forum.

?

if Charley was a middle aged Yorkshire man, if we where watching a serious documentary instead of a gameshow, if my sofa was green.

Just what is the point of asking if someone would still be liked if they where someone completely different

True...but if they were fat and ugly, they wouldn't also have women of a certain disposition disliking them.

Swings and roundabouts.

Guru Tart · 14-06-2007, 14:30

Yeah, because they would still be twins but if they weren't as innocent or excited then they won't be as popular.

spoty · 14-06-2007, 14:31

I find them quite boaring, the fact I can not understand them does not help. Perhaps they have never had to say much, just smile?

I find Carol a waste of space, and she is not that pretty. I think I expected more form her.

Seany is not good looker but very amusing, and comes across really nice. I would go for a drink with him.

What I am saying is looks don't count much in there for ME. If they made me laugh & love them it would not matter what they looked like. I am over 40 though.

Vincey2007 · 14-06-2007, 14:32

But they are NOT... They would not have got on the programme if they were dumbass!

I've heard them say a lot, but then I watch a lot of the live on E4.

perceptive · 14-06-2007, 14:34

It seems that Toxic Bunny has a vendetta against the twins, in near enough every thread she posts in has made it clear she doesnt like the twins.

If the twins were spotty, ginger, fat or whatever would they still be as popular?

Well, they arent.........its all if, buts and maybe's

*adopts Tracey's voice* DEAL WITH IT.

Taffycwmru · 14-06-2007, 14:34

They're okay but grate on the nerves after a while and would do if they were ginger. It's their silly behaviour that gets me. They definitely shouldn't win it. Mind you, I can see anyone in there who deserves to win it so far.

Is the OP not allowed an opinion? So she doesn't like the twins, she is entitled to. Its a free country. Im sick of seeing posts saying how 'sweet' and 'cute' they are, most probably posted by men who are old enough to know better I don't doubt.

Ive seen nothing that makes them 'sweet' and 'cute'. What I see are two immature girls who look far younger than they are who have little personality and life experience. Its hard to believe that say Chanelle and Emily are roughly the same age as them.

The only difference would be their looks though ... and that *really* shouldn't matter. It seems a fair few people think that it does though.
