― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 18 November 2002 09:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Isn't lovely ickle Stephen Gateley in there as well?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 18 November 2002 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Popbitch sez:
"Stephen Gately is going to be on Celebrity Big
Brother. He looks set to be joined by Goldie, Les
Dennis, Mel B, Esther Rantzen and Denise Welch."

― Graham (graham), Monday, 18 November 2002 13:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Caprice is out cos she is doing some acting thing. Goldie is deffo in. Les Dennis would not surprise me, plus a soapstar and a down at heal popstar.

So Popbitch seem OTM. Maybe Mark Goodier now he has left the chart (who is taking over btw?)

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 18 November 2002 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

They named names on Thisislondon last week incl. Mark Owen ex teen idol in the Keith Duffy role.

― Emma, Monday, 18 November 2002 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.thisislondon.com/news/showbiz/articles/2049639?source=Evening%20Standard

and it's Mel (not Sue). Has anybody else seen Mel's "Tell it to me straight" daytime thing (actually does 9am count as daytime).

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 18 November 2002 14:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I was really hoping they'd put someone from "Changing Rooms" in there.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 November 2002 14:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Denise Welch is out because her ickle baby son is poorly sick

Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen would be good, as he could turn the house all Gothic for a larf.

― C J (C J), Monday, 18 November 2002 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

(I SAID Mel! Some people do not pay attention pah)

― Emma, Monday, 18 November 2002 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

B-but Caprice isn't on it:

What about Trevah from Enders? He's got nowt else to do now.

― Plinky (Plinky), Monday, 18 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete has been googling the phrase "share a lesbian kiss"

Anyway, what are those birds in the ad for Chicago getting up to?

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 18 November 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Needs more Mels!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 18 November 2002 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

personally i would like to have:

1. Ron Jeremy
2. Linda Lovelace
3. Ally from NYC
4. Philip K Dick
5. Elvis/Jesus Christ
6. Courtney Love
7. Arthur Lee
8. Margo Kidder/Christopher Reeve/Richard Pryor
9. The Cast and Crew of 'Don't Go In The Woods'
10. Wynona Ryder.

That would be great television!!!!

― doom-e, Monday, 18 November 2002 19:55 (twenty-three years ago)

If anyone has a good sized house going spare for a while, we should totally do an ILX Big Brother. Doom-e and Momus and Mark S can be the first three contestants.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 18 November 2002 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Dave Q MUST be included.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 November 2002 21:24 (twenty-three years ago)

And Ally and Toraneko, and indeed you, Dan. And it would hardly be an ILX event without Ned and Tom.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 18 November 2002 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan and momus (and a copy of vice magazine of course).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 18 November 2002 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark S and Doom-e have been outside for three hours.

FUCK THAT FUCKING MOMUS ALWAYS FUCKING SING NO ONE, NOOOOO OOOOOOONNNNEEEE WANTS TO HEAR!!!

Momus: Guys, I made some baked beans.

Doom-e: Great I'll be right in.

Momus: I wrote a new song.

Doom-e: Great.

― doom-e, Monday, 18 November 2002 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

This year's list 'apparently':

Bez
Mark Bosnich
Caprice
Craig Charles
Sam Fox
Eddie Irvine
Myleene Klass
Brigette Nielsen

No Pete Doherty!

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

WHERE IS FLAVOR FLAV??????

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, that was almost completely wrong, then.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

so what was the final 8? I saw up to Bez and switched off in embarrassment.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Racing pundit John McCricick was first in, followed by feminist writer Germaine Greer.
They were joined by Brigitte Nielsen, ex-Holby City star Jeremy Edwards, model Caprice, former Happy Mondays man Bez, Blazin’ Squad star Kenzie and DJ Lisa L’Anson.

The first eviction on the Channel 4 show will be next Friday.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine!

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Well that's my English literature degree worthless.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha, did you see Shaun Ryder? What a fat little man with a horrible tan!

― Charles Dexter (Holey), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeremy Edwards is Rachel Stevens' ex, and I never realised he was so fit!

http://members.lycos.co.uk/jamiethehut/actors/jeremy_edwards3.JPG

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 6 January 2005 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine: "We could solve the problems of the world"
Bez: "That's boooorin' tha'"

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 7 January 2005 01:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Fucking BEZ?!?!

Can someone tape this for me?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 7 January 2005 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

This is seriously brilliant

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 7 January 2005 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I see some fucking great clashes tween John Queerick and Germaine coming up

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 7 January 2005 01:36 (twenty-one years ago)

John is Talksport made flesh

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 7 January 2005 01:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine teaching young Kenzie about MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges
Bez hasn't heard of MC5??

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 7 January 2005 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

young Kenzie enters house

Bez : "Who's this twat?"

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

We turned on, saw Brigitte Nielsen's tatas, and ran away in phear.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:12 (twenty-one years ago)

this is gonna kick ass. nielsen is a bit of a sore thumb though -- who the fuck is she? still, germaine greer is a bit of a coup.

― henry miller, Friday, 7 January 2005 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Nielsen is now a professional incarceration reality TV queen - she's in The Surreal Life with Jordan out of New Kids On The Block as well.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

wish i'd stayed up -- i can't imagine gg talking about mc5 to one of blazin squad. too deck for words.

― henry miller, Friday, 7 January 2005 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

It's funny that Caprice was mentioned back in Nov 2002 as a possible entry - either the ILX campaign (?) was a success, or she's finally worn the producers down...

I want Germaine Greer and Bez to have many a deep & meaningful, late into the night.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Nielsen was also in Big Brother VIP, the german Celebrity Big Brother. And her appearance as Annie Lennox on Stars In Their Eyes will haunt me forever.

Also! (may spoil ending to The Surreal Life)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Caught Gree and McCrirrick late into the night getting ready to batter each other.

Lest we forget, Greer's first TV gig was 1968 Nice Time as dolly bird fluff to Kenny Everett.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 7 January 2005 11:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow this is actually the bomb. I love Germaine ever so much - she described John's strategy as 'serpentine' to Lisa, who just boggled at her, and she psycho-analysed everyone to perfection in the diary room. And she is LOVING having the opportunity to perv on Jeremy, who is simply yummy.

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 8 January 2005 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Bez: "Alright, have you ever said to your wife "I love you very very much"?
John "....!"

― mark grout (mark grout), Sunday, 9 January 2005 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I have not been watching it, due to my new regime of NO TELLY. Who has been chucked out? What's happening? Be my Heat magazine, won't you?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Sunday, 9 January 2005 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine had better win, as William Hill were offering 10/1 on her at one point yesterday, which I snapped up like the proverbial whippet.

She's back to 6 in most places though, Kenzi and Jeremy exchanging 2/1s on most accounts with Bez in the village of 4.

Lisa I'Anson is 40/1.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 9 January 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I have no thoughts or insights on this show apart from OMG JEREMY YOU ARE SO HOTT!!!!111

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 9 January 2005 23:41 (twenty-one years ago)

kenzie claiming to have said he wanted to do this 'for charidee' and being told he had actually said 'in order to pull a glamour model' was priceless.

― henry miller, Monday, 10 January 2005 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

So, who's the "Celebrity" Name from someones "past"?

Rachael Stevens?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 January 2005 09:40 (twenty-one years ago)

arnold schwarzenegger.

― henry miller, Monday, 10 January 2005 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Either Rowetta or CLIVE JAMES!!

― Starry (hello chickens), Monday, 10 January 2005 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, Rowetta 'sent' Bez in. Ah Germaine Greer's past. Hmmm. Just as well John Peel's gone...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 January 2005 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

felix dennis, natasha walter, eddie murphy, finn from hollyoaks, cressa...

― henry miller, Monday, 10 January 2005 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Jonathan Aitken!

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Monday, 10 January 2005 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I am still grinning at I'Anson's pre-entry worry that there would be nobody in the house on her intellectual level!

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 10 January 2005 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

She's close, though

― Masked Gazza, Monday, 10 January 2005 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll guess Rowetta

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 10 January 2005 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

My money, if I had any, would be on Tony Adams.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Sylvester Stallone's mum, apparently. Which could be interesting, because she's even more bonkers than Brigitte - she does psychic readings of people's arse prints.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone on the Digital Spy forum is claiming that it's going to be Lester Piggot. Jackie Stallone would be awful. Telepathic dogs and rumpology, honestly (I saw her on Graham Norton or somesuch nonsense once, and was terrified)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I could watch.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm enjoying this immensely and I'm not normally a BB fan. I think that the presence of McCririck and Greer makes it far more interesting. I've said all along about BB with members of the public that they should have a greater age range in it. Maybe now they've done it with the celebrity one they'll have the balls to pick someone for the public one who's over 45.

the task this morning where they had to pick the shopping out of the gunge in turn while the others were being pushed round on the roundabout was SO funny! McCririck only had to make sure that the roundabout wsa going at more than 17 RPM and he couldn't even get that right, LOL!

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 10 January 2005 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Jackie Stallone!

My guess when they said it was someone from one of the housemates' past was Desert Orchid.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Dom in stealing "jokes" off Digital Spy shockah!

Best picture of anyone I have seen in ages...

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Did someone do that gag in Digital Spy? Bugger.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

this is rather disappointing. unless they really go at each other, it's a pointless disruption. only a 24-carat sleb would have worked.

― henry miller, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh. Suppose it had been Robbie Williams going in? Then all the others would have gone "oh, that's game over" and GONE HOME!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and did you spot the diet coke ad during the break?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

is john ever going to work again after this?

that said, the rest of them seem to have forgotten that he was responsible for them getting a fridge full of alcohol the other night and maybe they should've swapped some of it for diet coke. (yeah, ok, his optionaly bit was far easier than the others, mainly because ping pong balls float). he also has a point about BB being indian-givers.

and is it me or does Bez seem almost sensible at times?

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

wots 'indian-givers'?

― henry miller, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Here's a flame war over the definition of "Indian givers" for your amusement.

What are the current odds on Robbie turning up for CBB next year? And can anyone substantiate the rumour that Endemol turned down Macca for this year's CBB?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 09:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I was amazed last night as I watched Bez seem the most sensible in a room that had more than just him in it.

Brigitte is leaving, apparently.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

She's had to warm the toilet seat and bed for her, as well....

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

still no viewers texting in to say JOHN TO WIN COS HE'S FIT. quelle surprise.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

JOHN TO WIN COS HE'S F*T

― Masked Gazza, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still in shock that BB is properly good and entertaining to watch this time round.

Lisa is very, very bossy.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

> he also has a point about BB being indian-givers

i mean the way that they said 'here's your food budget' but then changed it to 'you'll only get what you win' (http://www.wordorigins.org/wordori.htm)

(which shouldn't really have been a surprise for anyone who watched last year's "Goldie in a mini-digger" extravaganza.)

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The only people who get onto the programme (Celebs anyway) are the ones that haven't seen it, it seems.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Is john ever going to work again after this?

Oh, come on... can't you just see the "ironic" Diet Coke ads already? The man stands to earn a small fortune. Smart player!

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Kenzie the world's politest man?

Betfair's moved Bez into marginal favourite.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked how they had to explain the rules and concept of the show to Jackie Stallone.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

The world to Maria Schneider : "Butter? *giggle*"

Soon:

The world to John McCrirrick : "Diet Coke? *snigger*"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently, Germaine is packing her case.....

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

...while shouting "happy, happy, happy".

She's also speculating that more than one housemate may follow her outside.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Brigitte unhappy about the press having an excuse to dredge up old divorce stories. Germaine unhappy about the tacky way of boosting the Big Brother ratings. Neither seemingly having that much of a problem with Jackie, directly. Oh, and John thinks its terrible too.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Bringing her in was fucking stupid, really. Vic Reeves was useless on IACGMOOH too. She isn't even a celebrity.

― Miles Finch, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine unhappy about the tacky way of boosting the Big Brother ratings.

Germaine, it's Big Brother. Get one clue.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... she's gone.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, there goes my tenner. Fuck.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Bez is being an absolute sweetheart. Does anyone reckon he'll become an Ozzy-style loveable former drug fiend accepted by the mainstream?

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Not having seen it yet, when everybody here and a guy at work told me that Slyvester Stallone's mother was going to be in the house, I thought they meant...

That'll be Estelle Getty though.

Yeah, but she's his mom in 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot'.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway.

So tonight, Davina McColl interviews Germaine Greer?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just checked the official C4 site to see how the head-tilt theory might come into play this time round.

GERMAINE'S HEAD IS COMPLETELY VERTICAL.

Brigitte and John next straightest.

Lisa, Caprice, Bez and Jackie all similarly tilted.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Jim Shelley, Daily Mirror
"[Bez] struggled particularly when trying to listen/focus on Professor Greer's dissertation on the problems faced by the Australian Aborigines. The previous night the world's most famous feminist had told him she used to write for the underground press. 'What do you mean? Like porn?' he asked superbly. Will you tell him or shall I?"

Umm, Yes?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

well, bez wasn't far off the mark, really. for anyone who's actually read Oz.

― Baxter, Friend to Bears, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what I thought. plus "Screw" magazine and so on...

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine -"brigitte's happy happy act seems to me to be totally demented... if that's having a good time i hope i never have one." made me laugh out loud.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

She will be missed. Now it's Bez to win. Lisa I have as second favourite so her actual odds are way off. But if Bez is going to win, the others may was well be 100/1

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

..the others may as well be 100/1

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

was there much said about germaine leaving on last night's show (i had bb-hating house guest)? it seems like a bit of a sea-change - she seemed to be enjoying it.

had to switch over when FARIA ALAM appeared on BBLB, Greer's interview was bad enough but couldn't stands no more when the FA bike turned up.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Totally -- wtf is with their booker? I prefer BBLB at 6pm, it's less 'TFI Friday' ish. Greer interview was awkward because Davina clearly didn't like her. Davina likes to be cleverer than her interviewees.

― Miles Finch, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh fuck yeah -- Newsnight also had an interview with Greer, a Kirsty phoner. She will be on Newsnight Review this friday, KW assured us. It was weird, like 'now you're back in the land of the sane' stuff.

What I meant by this is how it proved. Davina totally had teh FEAR!

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 13 January 2005 09:49 (twenty-one years ago)

davina has also proved herself to be only one of two women (annie lennox being the other) who do not look remotely sexy wearing a suit and tie.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 13 January 2005 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Last night's episode was a classic; I was chuckling to myself for hours at Caprice's "You are such a schmuck" comment.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Thursday, 13 January 2005 10:26 (twenty-one years ago)

davina seemed to have come as chris eubank for the entry show.

i do like the way that this all seems to have fallen apart this time, the resounding failure of the new introduction (see also Vic Reeves on IACGMOOH), the way they are trying to keep the contestants sweet to stop more walkouts (the extra food for instance although i doubt we'll see a harpist any time soon. a harpie maybe...)

You see, the improvisational aspects of Big Brother all fail because they are predisposed towards an endgame and for me the ideal situation would be to improvise in this house forever because there's no such thing as an end. Han would still want to play "My Old Flame" on his clarinet, mind you. There's no accounting for tuning."
John "He's Fit" McCririck: "Improvise me a bloody Diet Coke then!"

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 13 January 2005 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Voting, John McCrirrick vs Jackie Stallone. Voting is on who is to stay.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF, Big Brother has both Sylvester Stallone's mother and his former wife (aren't they both non-British?), and Bez, AND Germaine Greer??!! Where is the world coming to???

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Germaine is Australian, Caprice is from errr....Land.

13.42: John saying they will never meet again. Jackie says they could email once in a while (John replies "no"). Jeremy is going to LA later and wants her email. Jackie gets 50,000 hits on her website a month. She gives her website addy. [url]http://www.jacquelinestallone.com/[/url]

Brigitte: "oh my GOD!! LORD LUCAN!!!"
Lord Lucan: "You ain't seen me...right?"

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Jackie gets 50,000 hits on her website a month.

Is that all? Doomie gets 50,000 a DAY!

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

John is going to be disappointed...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 14 January 2005 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Last Nights (TV) best moment...

Bez: "I'm in a band"
Jackie: "What, you post bonds for bail, and track down those who abscond? That's an interesting job"
Bez: "um...No, a B.A.N.D., rock and roll and all that..."

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 14 January 2005 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Did no one see The Horror? John saying he was "quite partial" to "cleavage sex."

Bez: You mean a tit wank?

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I want to see this so badly! I have even e-mailed tv companies asking them if they'll buy it but they won't. Is there a live stream or clips on a website I can watch?

― Hanna (Hanna), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG, even Iain Lee managed to make me laugh simply by saying 'McCrirrick titwank'. Genius.

btw loving the way Dermot has started using 'oh em gee' as a catchphrase.

― Miles Finch, Friday, 14 January 2005 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

There's 24-hour live streaming, but you have to pay for it.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, from John's reaction I'd say those rumours about him having wagered considerable sums on his being the first evicted had more than a little truth behind them.

Gutted didn't describe it.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 14 January 2005 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Another phrase I thought I'd never say: Jackie Stallone OTM.

In her eviction interview - "You're just pissed because you thought Brigitte and I would rip each other to shreds and fight all the time. That's what you hoped would happen, isn't it?" Davina: "Err..."

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 14 January 2005 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

That was good.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 14 January 2005 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Hopefully Dermot will bamboozle her with his charm on CBBLB tonight.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 14 January 2005 23:39 (twenty-one years ago)

She really hasn't got a fucking clue, has she. "Big Daddy, or whatever he's called, what is it?"

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 14 January 2005 23:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not even entirely convinced she even knows she's on a show related at all to Big Brother.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 14 January 2005 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyhow. Now it's John versus Bez. This should be a tap-in, but Bez is taking the nom very badly indeed.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 17 January 2005 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Noooooo. Bez is the most genuine person in there.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Bez: "I don't think anyone's got a game plan in 'ere"
John:"Don't you believe it... They are all not to be trusted!"

Result: One paranoid Bez.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

My poor baby!

(I think I may be investing too much emotion in this, but not enough to actually vote obv.)

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

huh! as if "genuine" had anything to do with big brother!

unfortunately bb winners tend not to win because they're "genuine" but because they're "fit." so if john mcnazi wins it'll be a very curious concept of "fit" which visually would seem to indicate that a liver cyst is somehow attractive (i've seen x-rays of liver cysts and they do look a bit like the idiosyncratic racing pundit).

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 17 January 2005 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

This is true Marcello, possibly because those bothered by people being "genuine" are not going to call in.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

thus it will end up being between jeremy hollyoaks and Kenzie Out Of Blazin Squad

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 17 January 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

unfortunately bb winners tend not to win because they're "genuine" but because they're "fit."

er, are you sure, marcello? not that i'm saying jade, nadia et al are "genuine" - but fit??

― stevie (stevie), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I just punted a tenner on Lisa L'Anson, at 40 to 1. Don't laugh it could happen.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

bez was fascinating last night - he really is very damaged, isn't he? and john's tantrum at the ghost train task - ew. very uncomfortable viewing.

― stevie (stevie), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Tantrum? He was fretting about not letting the team down, the cart broke while he used it, there was a long gap until the BB team aquiesced the point, he seemed legitimately worried. For once.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

bez's nomination seemed a bit odd to me (with more votes than john even - i guess john couldn't vote for himself!) - id've said nobody actively disliked him. he did melt down the other night though, started going on about skipping over the wall to go dancing in watford. so i guess some of these may have been 'he wants to go anyway' nominations.

(they never seem to realise that the alarm will go off at given time every morning regardless of the time they decide to turn in. that said, them all getting an early night would make the live 12-2 feed really dull, which BB doesn't seem to have realised.)

no mention of the house invasion in the actual program that i've seen...

― koogs (koogs), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I can imagine that 24hr Bez would be kind of irritating. Edited highlights are easier to deal with.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

deal with = love

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

er, are you sure, marcello? not that i'm saying jade, nadia et al are "genuine" - but fit??

jade didn't win though, blonde girl whose name I genuinely can't recall won that series. Apart from Nadia (who definitely won for being 'genuine' rather than being 'fit') I can't remember any other winners so I can't comment further on the series...

the Jackie Stallone otm moment in the Davina interview was glorious. If Davina was in the house, she'd totally outdo Lisa in Lisa-ness.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 17 January 2005 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

24 hour party Bez.

― Masked Gazza, Monday, 17 January 2005 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)

> blonde girl whose name I genuinely can't recall won that series

kate whatsherface. had a twin sister. did RI:SE... lawler.

celebrity winners = jack dee and mark owen. bez, to me, is a cross between the two = obvious winner 8)

― koogs (koogs), Monday, 17 January 2005 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

But if Bez was up against Kenzie? Can you say "Save Bez" would conquer?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 17 January 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

wasnt there a trend for the borng person to win BB? thats why i think lisa will win, cos everyones forgotten shes in the house. kenzie will be second.

my girlfriend told me that greer tried to have an in depth discussion with kenzie about the youth slang and linguistics, can anynoe corroborate this?

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 17 January 2005 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

looks like you're right about the borng person. john mcnazi got evicted last night, much to his satisfaction, so it is the standard trend of systematically getting rid of anyone remotely interesting or showing the slightest trace of individuality.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 08:18 (twenty-one years ago)

So now it's "Vote for the winner" time, and the one with the least votes will be out Wednesday.

Which will be one of : Caprice, Brigitte, Jeremy.

(Jeremy has turned into one of those "Hey I'm gorgeous and have a great sense of humour" types)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 09:42 (twenty-one years ago)

oh come on, marcello - john was interesting only as a portrayal of an inflated and pompous ego forever on the edge of a meltdown. the truth is, he was more irritating and pathetic than the others.

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

that's exactly why he was interesting! and also why greer should have stayed in. better to be irritating and pathetic than be a blank nonentity like jeremy hollyoaks or Kenzie Out Of Blazin Squad, i'd say.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

So, it's down to Bez and Lisa in the 'keeping it real' stakes?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 11:14 (twenty-one years ago)

god, lisa i'anson (better not juxtapose these two, it'll give her even grander ideas). she reminds me of the clock at the front of wandsworth town hall. that hasn't worked since 1995 either.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

the whole 'people in the house pick the shortlist, viewers pick the evictee' thing is what makes it interesting and unpredictable. but i think the viewers only wised up to the 'vote the interesting people out and end up with boring tv' halfway through the Jon Tickle Years. (that said, 'interesting' comes in many flavours and sometimes other factors are more important.)

i think John was voted out because people so like Bez, who is interesting enough - i was roffling yesterday when the others were doing the hippy dippy stuff in the hidden room and Bez was trying to mime something (what?) for the camera.

slight Ahmed-esque rehabilitation for John on CBBLB last night, only slight though.

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

What Bez was trying to say was :

"You"

"W"

"Freaky Dancing"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

do u think this "who stays? you decide" rather than "who goes.." will have an infulence in the outcome of this or future series of BB?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

If Davina was in the house, she'd totally outdo Lisa in Lisa-ness.

You don't know how grateful I am for that. Of course, I have a vested interest here.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

bez is awesome tho. it was cute wen BB told him to get down from teh wall and he meekly complied

also, totally melancholic

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Brigitte: "Bezsh, mate, mate, cmere. cmere. Look, yr a luvly chap. luvly chap. nahnahnahnah ere me owt lissenlisses. Nah look, mate just ..nah angon... Look, sort yer teeth out mate. Nah you should you should youu shouldd.... serious. You've got luvly eyes, yeah? Just with yer teeth and stop taking so much stuff yeah, listen I know what I;m talking about yeah? Lovely wife, kids, all that, all yours. you know?"

Bez: "No, you're all right..."

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

bez doesn't seem to mind dressing up when he gets to be a soldier i notice... 8)

3% of people voted for lisa to win. ha-ha.

oh, and the one sentence i NEVER expecteed to hear:
"Kenzie and Bez are playing chess in the garden"

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 20 January 2005 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Just thought you'd like to know.

Last night, BB asked the housemates what would they like for Breakfast in bed. So they all asked for beans, sausage, porridge, whatever...

And this morning, they got it. From hidden panels above, dropped on them in their beds. Bez escaped the deluge, but Brigitte's teddy bear will never be the same again...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 January 2005 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Kenzie was brilliant on last night's show:

"I can't believe someone's said they've got the worst costume when I was in the room. Look at me. I'm dressed as an egg. Worse than that, as a fucking big egg."

Bez winning at chess ran it close, mind.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 21 January 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

"I can't believe someone's said they've got the worst costume when I was in the room."

Line of the Series!

OK, now its Bez, Brigitte and Kenzie, all together all weekend.

― mark grout (mark grout), Saturday, 22 January 2005 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

did anyone get evicted last night?

Hail Bez.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

caprice's alleged appearance fee was nearly 4 times what bez won. didn't a wise man once say: "You pretty girls have it easy"?

lost sympathy for bez when he started saying he was going to spend part of his winnings on chrome spinners for his wheels. his being poor seems to equal not having enough bits on his car.

― koogs (koogs), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

umm, flippant answer shocker?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:35 (twenty-one years ago)

.. I mean, he did more or less say he was going to dig himself out of a great financial hole, yeah?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:35 (twenty-one years ago)

he was already talking about buying spinners when he won the 10k for his Vietnamese Dong (fnarr!). i guess his appearance fee could've been large enough to bail him out financially so any winnings on top of that were disposable income but, yknow, poncy car parts are low on my list of essentials or luxuaries.
