Any other converts from the 'without Charley the house would be boring' camp?

I've always disliked Charley for her aggression. That said, I believed she needed to be kept in the house because so many of the other housemates were so dull that she needed to be kept in to liven the place up.

Recently, my views have begun to change. Last night, I couldn't switch over to watch BB because the mere prospect of yet another Charley argument exhausted me, and it got me to thinking.

Charley's a one trick pony. We've already seen as much as we're going to get from her. In another two months time, she'll be doing exactly the same thing as she is now.

Isn't there a point when even arguing becomes almost as tedious as Tracey's unimaginative one liners? Whatever entertainment factor she had, Charley's becoming a liability for the show. For me, she's past her sell-by-date. We've had enough arguments for a whole series, now we need new housemates who are actually fun.

Anyone else feeling the same?

Charleys ruining it for me to now....I hate her aggression its just too much to watch sometimes.

I think her shoutiness and her need to be included in every argument even if its not hers is smothering other peoples personalities.

Get her out now....enough is enough....

One trick pony? At least she is funny and willing to have a laugh.

What about all the other no trick ponies in there?

Hey stop stealing my ideas.

Apart from that, great OP.

Hah, I guess I've had a slightly higher tolerance for her shrieking. I've had enough of the banshee now.

Laura's gone -- I don't think she has a hope. I'd prefer Tracey out over Charley, but not by much. Carole's actually improved a little, actually. She cries far less, and does occasionally do funny things to be fair to her.

As I say, it's reached a point for me where Charley's 'doing something' bores me almost as much as the dead weight.

Yes, I've been converted. I thought she WAS BB8, but she is NOT. Sooner she goes the better.

Sort of - I do reach for the remote and turn the volume down whenever Charlie starts to speak, however I do love the fast she's driving the rest of them mad!

Although her arguments are tedious I love watching the effect it has on the rest of them!

The other no trick ponys are being stopped from doing there tricks by the one trick pony, which is the point everyone is trying to make

When Charley leaves everyone will realise how much she carried the show.

BB didn't put enough characters on the show this year...Tracey,Carole,Liam etc might aswell not be there.

I thought that in the second week, now I'm more bored of her than I could possiby be without her.

I didn't bother watching it tonight, it's just the same thing every night. ......Charley starts a row about nothing, Charley shouts a bit, Charley twists her face.

I've never laughed at anything she has said or done.

And as far as I can see when people are having a good time she doesn't seem to like it, probably because she thinks that she won't be shown on the Hl's show if people are having a laugh.

Some of us don't want one preprepared 'character' dictating the script of the show by doing the same thing over and over again.

I don't want to see my ponies do tricks, I'm happy to watch them ponying about doing whatever it is ponies do.

I agree. All she is is an argument. There's no fun, no madness, no crazy nights. remember Makosi and Orlaith and Athony and all in the pool? And Craig stripping poor Anthony when he was so drunk, and all the other mad, crazy brilliant BB moments. Name one from this series??? The only thing that made me laugh was when Seany pushed Charley in the pool. But things have changed so much in BB that all she was bothered about was her Gucci-b**** boots. It's rubbish. Get her out,and maybe some of them will have more fun.

The show will evolve without Charlie

There were plenty of characters in the show but some people were not happy with them

Just think what this BB might have been if
Shabnam stayed
Seany stayed
Billi stayed
I know people did'nt like them but we should have kept them in because they where ENTERTAINING (oops sounds familiar)
