Big Brother 2012: Is Luke S actually gay?! And my opinion of the £50k White Room debacle & Luke’s reaction
Oooh you are awful, but I like you…
As we saw in last night’s Channel 5 highlights show – aside from Deana’s rather awful drunken behaviour – Big Brother housemate Luke S added fuel to the Are You In Fact Gay? fire by displaying a rather comprehensive knowledge of shoes…
Now of course, this issue of Luke S’s true sexuality has been rumbling ever since he went into the house, given that he’s obsessed with his looks, wears make-up, considers himself very buff and generally carries out – both for himself and for other housemates – a good deal of grooming, and were it not for his ‘romance’ with Ashleigh, I think the question would be answered.
But as to his almost encyclopaedic knowledge of women’s shoes, if it were that he worked in a shoe shop, fair enough, and though I’m somewhat reluctant to stereotype, do straight men usually know that much about women’s shoes?
To be honest, I’m a woman and I don’t know that much about women’s shoes. And I know that as far as my husband’s concerned, if you put a gun to his head and asked him to name three types of women’s shoes, you’d end up having to shoot him because he just wouldn’t know…
Opinions in a comment box below please.
Now, onto the other part of this article, which is my take on the whole White Room £50k debacle, which initially Luke S tried to imply he had no intention of going for…
As fans will know, while in The White Room, Conor and Luke S discussed which of them were most keen to get to the final. It was evidently decided that Conor was, and therefore, Luke S had apparently resigned himself to ‘giving’ that to Conor when it came time to choose which of them would land that free pass to the final.
So, here’s how I think it panned out in the end…
From Conor’s viewpoint, he might have said, and meant it, that he wasn’t interested in the money and only wanted the place in the final.
However, when £50k is staring you in the face and you have one minute to decide which you want more – £50,000 or another eight or so days in the house – he of course chose the money.
From Luke S’s perspective – and bearing in mind that ahead of that one minute decision, neither he nor Conor knew that money would be at stake – he I think genuinely believed Conor would eschew money for that place in the final…
So when the money countdown began, and the total rose, Luke S worked out, via the medium of counting Mississippily that the total rose about a grand every 90 seconds, so he knew by the time the minute was up, the cash would be at it’s maximum of around the £50k mark.
Now, as mentioned, and as fans will know, initially Luke S claimed that he had no intention of taking the money, and his pressing the buzzer was merely a “reaction” to Conor pressing it.
I think we all know that’s crap and the fact is, he was merely waiting for the money to peak before pressing, but in the event Conor beat him to it.
So in one regard, Luke S’s greed in waiting for it to be the most it could be actually cost him the whole lot. On the other hand, if he really thought Conor wouldn’t go for the cash, then fair play, why wouldn’t he wait until the money maxed out?
But later, when Luke S branded Conor a “lying ba**ard” and at the time, cried and wailed “But you wanted the final!” what he didn’t take into account is that that sum of money genuinely is life changing.
And if I were Conor, I’d have done the exact same thing.
So I don’t know why Luke S can’t just call a spade a spade and admit that yes, he was just too darn slow to bag the cash, but I think he should also acknowledge that regardless of any prior arrangements with Conor, when faced with the swerve BB threw in, all bets were understandably off.
What do you think?

Well frankly Luke deserved every bit of Deana’s drunken rant. He’s more than happy to dish it out but obviously not man enough to take it!! I haven’t laughed so much at his discomfort in ages.
As he’s given Ashleigh the finger already maybe he was checking out to see what the fit was? Maybe he doesn’t really know what to do with the real equipment. Maybe he thought that’s what girls like!
I was soo happy conner beat Luke that made my day, Luke needed bringing down a peg or 10 and his face when he realised conner beat him was a picture,
And hats of to Deana the only one not Afraid to laugh in Luke’s face they all know he would of took the money and ran for once he was not 1st
Oh Luke S you dumb ass, let it go now you were just too late and Connor is one devious Bxxxxxd so put it down to experience. I think there have been worse characters in there than Luke S frankly I think he is a bit of a loner and I do think he is wrestling with his sexuality hence Ashleigh lets be fair he. Is way ahead of her in the intelligence stakes and in the real world neither of them would be attracted to each other they are both playing a game. I actually don’t mind him but he should of dumped that girl ages ago. Luke S if your gay just come out I think you would get far more respect. Let Connor have the £50k it just shows the measure of the man, say one thing do another he knew neither one of you would win and took the best option. Luke A or Adam to win, Deana 3rd place she doesn’t deserve to win.
Deanas “drunken behaviour” was very tame. She is the only one to retain most of her dignity amid the bitching and bullying in the house. No surprise that at last she let off some steam.
Deana is showing her true nasty colours. Conman was right afterall. she needs to go shes vile.
Like Deana said he should have pressed the button sooner is he that delusional to think he could trust someone who hes only known a few weeks when theres £50.000 involved. Well he has to take a chance on the final and as far as im concerned the only chance he has is no chance
Deana, was so funny last night, the only housemate to speak the truth. With reference to Luke’s sexuality, only he knows that one, but if he had a fumble with a guy, do you not think it would been sold to the press, Ashleigh shaving his underarms and then throwing the hair on the floor, and she says that’s she is not Chav she is the biggest one of all. Let’s hope the dirt girl she is in all respects gets chucked out on the next eviction.
IF i was Connor i would have absolutely have taken the money. Anyone who says they wouldn’t is only lying to themselves. He got half the winnings and got out early. Deana is just an evil bit of work. Too many people defending her saying shes so nice. As we seen when connor left, she wasd the one who tried to get people to go against him, the rant that got him the warning was fater weeks of her being two faced bitch
I have made my thoughts on Connor winning the 50k well known- a disgrace- and it could well spell the end for future big bros, I hope not because up until the White Room I was enjoying the series and defending it to the hilt. The producers really need to look at big bro USA with vetoes etc its edge of your seat stuff and 100% more exciting than ours now, its just too tired so why not completely revamp it. as for Luke being gay I have said so from the start. If you notice he only kisses Ashleigh, any full bloodied male I know- whether he be on tv or not- if they were in bed with a female all night and for as long, would have defo done the business by now. There is no spark there cos ….?
Is Luke S gay? I think so. It doesnt fit into his lifestyle or perception of himself at the moment so watch this space.He’s trying to con himself and everyone around him by going through the motions.Also what we have here is a narcissistic mummy’s boy.He really does love himself and believes he is the most intelligent and knowledgable person on this planet.He will realise how stupid he’s acting when he matures.This is also when he will come out and admit he’s gay.
