Who does Nobbi remind YOU of?

Hi dmg, this was the first one that starred Paul Walker and Vin Diesel and had the Yakuza on sports bikes.

That's true, but that's the thing about people who lack empathy - they can't manufacture it. They just feel indifferent to the feelings of others. Even when people like that say they are worried about their lack of empathy, they are doing it from a narcissistic point of view. ie, how does this make me look? What does this mean about me? A bit disturbing really. I'm sure Nobbi isn't quite at the sociopath level - but he does lack a sense of remorse when he upsets people.

Im telling you andole....Nobbi is the closest thing to a sociopath Ive seen in a while....I know a person who is a sociopath and yes Nobbi is so much like this person. They never consider the feelings of others and always have a motive that enhances only their own needs and dont care who they hurt and whose toes they tread on.......very dangerous people indeed.

Read up on Narcissist Personality Disorder. Nobbi fits a lot of the criteria.
ObNobbixious indeed.

DSMM IV criteria doesn't cover being a total wally, Tia. Borderline maybe.

Dom, you have to admit that the house will be less interesting without Nobbi. I think it's a bad move. Imagine a house with Terri, Cherry, Alice and Travis, for example - total snooze. Nothing would ever happen.

I would have much preferred Cherry be evicted than Nobbi. When Nobbi wasn't being nasty, he was entertaining.

I must agree with you both, much to my chagrin the knob was the most lively HM if a bit evil at times, certainly with more personality than the most of the others.

Totally agree. I even sent sms votes in for Cherry & Terrence when I realised how boring the house will become without Nobbi. I didn't like Nobbi, but he was the only person creating any mischief, entertainment & controversy. With 4 weeks to go I could have stood another 2 or 3 weeks of him, & I do think it's a shame he never got to enter the house for at least 24hrs or more during his time there.
