BB9UK: I dont really have anything against Darnell but ...?

Question

.. when he was in the bathroom with Kat yesterday trying to take off his fake tan. Kat asked him why and he said:

"it just aint me, this isn't how i was born you know - its not my colour"

but then he's always moaning about how he's so white and can't ever change his colour. I just don't get him =S ..

Answer 1

I said exactly the same thing when i heard him saying that. He's not happy being white and he's not happy being tanned!!!! He doesn't know if he's coming or going

Answer 2

I guess that he didn't want anyone to think that he wasn't happy with the colour he had....??????

Answer 3

He's a(and I mean this in as nice a way as possible) a freak of nature, so to ask him to change overnight is a bit of a d**n big ask in't it?, how would you feel if you woke up a different colour or s*x?

Answer 4

He is a really complicated person and I think its down to his albinism. He talks about how its so difficult to live with and how he wishes he had colour etc and basically how he wants people to see past his albinism - "Don't label me, respect me." But to be honest, it seems to be like he's the one who treats his albinism as his identity and who he is. After all, it is what makes him special and unique. Would he have even got on BB if he was a regular black guy? I doubt it. I think he knows it too so when he had the fake tan on, he took it off because he didn't feel special anymore.

Answer 5

its because hes confused. part of him wants to be what he percieves as normal and the other part of him wants to accept himself for the way hes made. the two thoughts cross each other.  

Answer 6

he would make an interest case for a psychiatrist, he would drive me crazy if i lived with him, id have to avoid him

Answer 7

i think he is proud to be different but doesnt like to brag about it, thats why he took off tan cause he looked like everybody else

Answer 8

Yeah I wondered that too... I think he's one of those guys that is just never happy!  If overnight he won the lottery, he got perfect eyesight, he became really popular, he could go back to america etc, he'd still moan that breakfast was cold!

Answer 9

He is one of the ugliest individuals I have ever seen ... ugh!

Answer 10

he always has to be talking about his favourite subject - himself he does my head in he is never happy

Answer 11

It obviously went deeply psycholigically with him.  The fact that it was FAKE had something to do with it.

Answer 12

Don't try and work out the meaning of what he says, the sexist t**t talks bollocks.
