Timbo somehow gives me the creeps. He exudes insincerity. Something about his eyes. So I guess he has a good chance of winning then.

Bert Newton once said (not recently)  "if you can fake sincerity you've got it made"

Tim is good at it.   So he's gunna win I reckon

Interesting. I can understand how insincerity can attract followers like Tim does in Big Brother.

If they papered over the mirror's and window's Jade would get lost, she is continually checking herself out.

It's a tv show designed to win viewers who want to see melt-downs of other peoples' strained relationships.

Germans have a word for it. Schadenfreude.

Not sure about that.   The willing participants are aware of the consequences.  Even if they are not winners, the exposure has opened doors to quite a few of them.   Someone will be $250k richer.  The "misfortunes" are just part of the game.

Personally, I watch it because of the funny characters.  Ben used to make me laugh a lot,  some of the things Drew comes up with are very funny.  All the conflicts are naturally unavoidable but mainly,  its the funny situations I look forward to.
