Seeing as we'll be off:

1) Who will be gone?
2) What else will happen?

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:13 (twenty years ago)

YOU'RE GAY

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago)

oh, shit!!!

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago)

The housemates will wake up one morning to discover some scary looking pissed blokes stumbling around the garden, then will realise that "Evil" Big brother has placed crates of Stella in a prominent position.

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago)

that was me, before, sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'RE GAY

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago)

You were in uniform?

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:18 (twenty years ago)

I'M NAKED

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:18 (twenty years ago)

RJG, I am going to get you!

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Not while you're naked though.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm not really naked; I'm on ally's bed

:' (

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:26 (twenty years ago)

You cuckoo

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:30 (twenty years ago)

aye-aye

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:32 (twenty years ago)

That about sums it up for me!

___ (___), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:34 (twenty years ago)

cathy and I thought they should send, like, a dog in, to the house, in the middle of the night, to scare the housemates. well, I thought it. cathy suggested they just send plagues of insects and stuff. I think they should send a plague of cuckoos, then a plague of aye-ayes, then a plague of...I dunno.

that's my two weeks hope.

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:37 (twenty years ago)

My go:

Marco gone, Jason gone, and *All* the housemates up for voting out by the time ILX back. And Becki will be favourite to go (or Victor).

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 July 2004 14:39 (twenty years ago)

RJG used up all the hope.

cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago)

naked on ally's bed.

cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago)

Can we send them a load of plagues, followed by an angel of death to kill their firstborn sons?

caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 1 July 2004 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Send in the 4 horsemen too? Or perhaps just Mr. Ed, who is scarier than all of the above put together really. C'mon, a talking horse? Now that's some serious evil.

gizmo (gizmo), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:29 (twenty years ago)

I want to see how Victor would respond to Mr Ed.

"He's gotta understand, man, there's only one stallion in this house"

caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:35 (twenty years ago)

" i got girff too, yeah"

jed_ (jed), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:50 (twenty years ago)

"I'm gonna start sending a few suckers to the glue factory 'round here"

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:02 (twenty years ago)

"i'm the mane man around ere"

jed_ (jed), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:19 (twenty years ago)

"people call me the grand national, because I go on for ages, there is lots of jumping, and afterwards lots of abnormally small men feel like they've been dragged through a fucking hedge innit"

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:26 (twenty years ago)

"I've declared myself the JP McManus of the house"

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:55 (twenty years ago)

Marco to go tonight, Jason next week (in a contest between him and Nadia), Becki and Nadia to be up as ilX comes back on, with Becki going.

Jason to be a grumpy cnut, Nadia to turn into an OK person without Marco in the house, Ahmed to start enjoying himself again, again, and to cop off with Becki once Jason has left the house. Stuart to dump Michelle, with her asking (and being refused) to leave. Shell to get her kit off at some point. Dan to be 'nice'. Victor to be the George Bush of the house.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 2 July 2004 08:18 (twenty years ago)

Stu to go the whole hog and have a sex change! Nadia will carry out the operation. Michelle will promptly dump Stu.

zebedee (zebedee), Friday, 2 July 2004 09:15 (twenty years ago)

I am moving into the house -- fact, actually.

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 2 July 2004 09:15 (twenty years ago)

yesterday, Stuart 2Hey, cross dressing"
Michelle "NO!"

Presumably not wanting a 'les exp'

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 2 July 2004 09:16 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...
My go:
Marco gone, Jason gone, and *All* the housemates up for voting out by the time ILX back. And Becki will be favourite to go (or Victor).

So, I was closest. Except Jason is not gone.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:20 (twenty years ago)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyhow.

The pretendy wedding is on Wednesday. The groom is Victor, the bride is Shell. Apparently Michelle is disappointed.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:34 (twenty years ago)

victor last night:
[Much ranting about how the rest of the house is his bitch.]
followed immediately by:
"Oh, and can we have some more bread and milk?"

he probably has a hedgehog to feed. or something.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:41 (twenty years ago)

"Can we have some more bread and milk" is easily moment of the series so far, especially as it followed a "fo shizzle ma nizzle" and a promise that "they're all in my pocket".

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:43 (twenty years ago)

jason can NOT escape this week
it seems like victor hate outweights the love so he might go in the last "vote out" eviction next week (up against Nadia and Dan?), which is a shame. i'd love to see him in the last 4 or 5.

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:44 (twenty years ago)

Dermot let slip on BBLB yesterday that Jason is up for nomnation this week (he asked a guest if they were coming back to support Jason on Friday).

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 08:57 (twenty years ago)

he probably has a hedgehog to feed. or something.
Dude, you shouldn't feed hedgehogs milk, ya get me?

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:04 (twenty years ago)

Victor was quite cute in the diary room, probably a deliberate tic tac of his.

Somehow he even managed to make proclaiming oneself 'a loveable rogue' and 'the man you love to hate' endearing.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:09 (twenty years ago)

Victor is a tw@t! If we talking like that to everyone outside of the diary room & then speaking normally in the diary room, now that would be funny. As it is, he is just an irritant. Oh, & that anooying nose twitch he has.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:12 (twenty years ago)

yeah, but that would be no way to avoid nomination. (OK, this is no way to win either, but still)

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:18 (twenty years ago)

I want Victor to go this week, for the solely selfish purpose of that WE ARE ATTENDING THE LIVE EVICTION and I want someone who can give good eviction without getting Dan or Stuart out of the house. Shell would be dull, Jason would be alright to go I suppose, there's no WAY Nadia will be evicted and the same goes for Michelle. I'm just worried there's going to be more Big Brother manipulation going on regarding the nominees...

Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:19 (twenty years ago)

Why is Nadia so popular? I don't get it.

VIC-VIP-RIP

Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:22 (twenty years ago)

Well they have to have 2 double evictions if they want to have 3 left at the end. Maybe you'll get to see Jason & victor evicted!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:23 (twenty years ago)

Channel 4 deceded a few weeks ago that they wanted Nadia to win and have done as much as they can to make sure it happens and it will, of course. I'm not the least bit surprised by this (it's happened almost every year so far) i just wonder why they have chosen her above all others? she's pretty fucking annoying.

jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:48 (twenty years ago)

one this week, one next week, leaves 5. one mid week of last week, last 4 go to last day. 4th and 3rd in quick succession on the night.

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:50 (twenty years ago)

how have c4 done that? maybe i'm impervious and objective or something, but the footage i've seen has *almost* made me prefer jason. she's very very annoying.

ENRQ (Enrique), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:51 (twenty years ago)

soz. but victor ruled last night in the diary room. all the street hard talking .. then 'can we have 2 pints of milk and a loaf of bread' absolutely my fave part of the whole thing so far. and yes Nadia will win .. it has been decided upon. which is a real shame as i dont think she is in the slightest bit interesting. annoying ? damn, yes.

mark e (mark e), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 09:57 (twenty years ago)

I want Nadia to win as well, she's not that annoying and I think it'd mean more to her than to, say, Dan or Shell, even though I probably like them better.

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:00 (twenty years ago)

The Milk and Bread was pretty good but doesn't beat him ending his chat about the cold showers with "I've already got a bit of a sniffle"

Davel (Davel), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:01 (twenty years ago)

>Dude, you shouldn't feed hedgehogs milk, ya get me?

you are right. catfood is better.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:20 (twenty years ago)

He smirked through the milk and bread request, which made it a bit more obviously prepared and less funny, but still, yeah.

I loved the blatant anti-Stuart editing of last night's final five minutes. First him being all triumphalist about not having been nominated, then that truly horrifying weightlifting hall of mirrors, then the bum preening.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Anti-Jason, I mean - what was I thinking?

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:25 (twenty years ago)

As the house gets quieter Nadia will get more annoying, like Jade in BB3. I can see her finishing fourth but that last eviction before the end could be an interesting one - assuming no one is going to bother to nominate Shell or Stuart then it might require some more nomination fanny dangle on the part of C4 to get rid of one of the duller housemates.

What happened to all that 'Nadia wants to seduce Victor' stuff on the front page of one of the tabs yesterday? That'd make for high drama plus wonderful comic potential when Davina reveals the truth on eviction night...

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:28 (twenty years ago)

Dan must win!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:31 (twenty years ago)

Meanwhile, after yesterday's runaway groom heartbreak Michelle and Stu are rumoured to have made up by 'doing it' in some revolting love den of her construction.

"Did he use a tool to give it to you or did he use his hands?" continued Shell.

"A tool," Michelle giggled.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:32 (twenty years ago)

So what do we think of stuart & michelle? Their relationship I mean. Does he really like her?

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:35 (twenty years ago)

matt - nadia WILL win, there is no question.

jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:37 (twenty years ago)

Unless she perks up a bit, she's in danger of peaking too early.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:48 (twenty years ago)

nadia will NOT win - i have fixed it

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:54 (twenty years ago)

"Can we have some more bread and milk" is easily moment of the series so far, especially as it followed a "fo shizzle ma nizzle" and a promise that "they're all in my pocket".

I saw this on the e-4 forum programme (repeated last night on Channel 4). It so works better with the canned laughter effect

p.s. Michelle will actually win. Ohyeah.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 10:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i'd bet on Michelle

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 11:02 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't mind Michelle winning, she certainly seems to have been through the most in the house!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Ladies and gentlemen, we really do have coitus this time.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 12:45 (twenty years ago)

Does it really count if we didn't see it? I mean we saw the teenagers actually getting down to it!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago)

So who's actually up for eviction this week?

Dan is like watching Marc Almond's little brother.

suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Apparently Dan, Nadia and Jason for eviction this week.

Anyway, saved from oblivion on TWX, I posted this set of Victor quotes. Worth repeating.

“My DNA stands for Dis Negro is Attractive”

“When I’m with a woman you could call me the milkman coz I always deliver.”


“ I’m gonna treat this game like having sex with a beautiful woman. You obviously have to make her feel good, warm it up a little – when it’s all ready, go for full penetration.”

“Nadia a.k.a Hack Jaw a.k.a Mrs Jimmy Hill Jaw a.k.a Sink the f**king titanic with my jaw.”

“Kitten is more wobbly than Rik Waller doing a belly dance on a three legged table.”

“It’s time to pick those suckers off one by one. That’s how it’s going down.”

on michelle..."if i was single i'd bang her"

"A beer in the hand is worth two in the fridge"

“I’m one smart son of a b*tch!”

“They call me ‘The Slick’ coz I
always get the job done.”

“You’ve got to stalk your prey
properly. Let her drink at the
watering hole and then pounce.”

“Ideally I’d like for Emma to leave to free up some room in the bathroom coz she sh*ts like 10 times a day! It’s like physiologically impossible. There are no bounds where the W.C world and she’s concerned.”

“Yeah you know if we were on the streets it wouldn’t have gone down like that. No one wants beef with me man, you know what I’m saying.”

“Emma maybe the most stupidest person on the face of this earth and I think that her time would be better spent in four years of night school learning her alphabets again.”

“They call me the plumber coz when I get close to women and start working I like to lay pipe, you know what I mean?”

“When it's stiff, u know, I got girth! They call me the girth man.”

“There’s a sayin where I come from, cut the grass and the snakes
will show their faces.”

To Davina “Oi! This ain’t no BT phone ad!”

“If you’re going to cheat on somebody it should really be with someone better looking.”

“If we were outside it’d be a different story I’d tell you that.”

“Some men will rise to the challenge other men will fall,
When it comes to the come down if you can’t swim you’ll drown,
And one way or another who will be the victor?”

“Anyone who can approach a black man they don’t know and call him a ****** on the first night just does not think.”

“I'd like to be richer than Bill Gates, so I
can walk up to him and say 'What's
going on, boy?'"

“I don't walk on eggshells for nobody. You
can give someone leeway if they've got a
problem, but no one talks to me with disrespect."

“Before me there was many, after me there will be none, I will not stop here until my work is done.”

"I plan to go to gay bars so I can meet girls without competition"

“Bring it straight to Victor and say what you've got to say.”

"I first thought Emma had a face only a blind mother could love."

"Time goes slower in here than Vanessa Feltz metabolism"

On Emma “She’s like an animal, even a monkey has more brain power than her.”

“I’m a contender, u know a champion,
depending on how you come back
shows how good a champion you are.”

"Men don’t mind good looking lesbians"

"I’m going to get ill if you keep giving
me cold showers, I’ve got the sniffles already".

Talking about the cameras “You Cant take a sh*t without a fibre optic camera pointing up your anus."

“Fat women are like mopeds, they're both alright for a ride until your mates see you with them."

"I always tell my friends when they get into arguments with old people, I stop them and say 'look, don't argue with this guy - he probably killed people in World War Two. 'He's killed before and he'll kill again!"


Talking about his game plan "I’m gonna take my time ... make them think that I'm not a threat ... and then alpha-male them to death.”

Victor (to Stu): "It's ok for you, you are gonna get your thing hard tonight... what kind of day have I had? I’ve walked in on Ahmed. (In the loo) not once, but twice... straining as he turns to look at me... what kind of a day is that?”

“Let them have their mourning time... then I'm going after the rest of them [Nadia, Marco and Michelle]. If they came in here to have fun, they should have saved their time, gone to the funfair instead.”

"Men can sleep around and get high 5s from their mates… But women get called slags in reality",

"It is time to separate the wheat from the chaff, the weak from the boys.”

“Let this be the first time the bad guy wins."

“To be the man you got to beat the man. And I am the man.”

"Better not drop the soap in the shower
there are too many gay and bisexual guys in here.”

“Let me give you some information... everyone in there still loves me! Why is that, people at home? ... I'm a loveable rogue. You can't help but like me - I grow on you like moss... it's just one of them things."

“Nadia seems to have found a way of harnessing TRAPJAW'S (from He-Man) DNA and fusing it with her own to create some new being.”

“I waged the war on terrorism and become the George Bush of this house and my administrative team doesn’t like terrorists.”

“The first person I see booing me, I have a lung full of spit for them.”

“Man I hate flip-flops, they mess
wiv ma walk!”

“Sometimes people take my
kindness for my weakness.”

“All I’ve got is my pride and my
balls.”

On Nadia “Sometimes I catch her looking at me from the corner of my eye, meaning she either fancies me or wants to kill me.”

"If my son ain't outside here when I leave, I'm gonna jump over the barriers and catch the night bus home."

“I thinks it’s about time we started mixing it up in here, get a bit f**kin’ lively.” (Kicks Pillow)

Nominating Dan "Dan A.k.a ‘Gandalf the Gay’ Its time for him to have a coke, a smile and get the f**k out of this house!

“This house is already filled with enough village idiots without the new girl coming in.”

Dan: I wouldn't know what to do if someone was having a panic attack.

Victor: Don't you just give them a slap?


Victor's theory on why BB put Becki in the House "She is opened to being banged"


To Marco about his eviction “It’s kinda like we’re all different genres of film and that’s it’s too early for your genre to come off the shelf.”

"I'm a chess player.....I make moves"

“Marco when you get out watch the tape…Your being a bloody idiot now man.”

“The only thing that they could have done to make Becki better is make her more attractive.”

About school, "I Used to see my name scrawled on desks and I thought 'Woah! Those chicks wanna bang me!"

About Becki "When I first saw her she looked rodent-like. I thought I might have to call Rentokil to sort this gaff out."

“I don’t trust anybody but myself, coz when you put your trust in someone that’s when they go and do something stupid.”

To big bro after taking his noms away "You left me like a sitting duck... 'cos it's hunting season,"

"I don't say much, and when I do say something that means it's serious,"

"I do more dirt than a mole, a worm. I play dirty. Everybody in here knows I do"

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 13:58 (twenty years ago)

I saw Victor's girlfriend on BBLB the other day. She looked very young.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Okay that set of Victor quotes might actually be the funniest thing ever posted to ILE.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 14:13 (twenty years ago)

For shizzle my nizzle.

Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago)

Stuart and Michelle's relationship fascinates me in so many ways.

Victor totally overshizzlenizzled his pudding in the diary room nominations, I thought.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Victor and Jason singing along to "The Time Of My Life" is my favourite moment of the series I think.

"I don't know what you're upset for, you've got your way. And anyway, it doesn't mean anything it's not important." Michelle doesn't get her way about something quite important to her.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 21:12 (twenty years ago)

I don't really see Stuart and Michelle lasting post-show. I think he is kind of scared of her, and regarding it rather like a holiday romance, to be abandoned at the airport.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 21:30 (twenty years ago)

I think Stuart's parents will be waiting when he leaves to drive him to an airport and then issue Michelle with a restraining order myself.

Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 21:58 (twenty years ago)

Sweet Jeez, Slick's price to win has collapsed today from a best priced 12/1 to a best priced 13/2, and more commonly trading at 11/2. His odds have basically haved in a day, and he's moved into third favourite.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 22:47 (twenty years ago)

But his diary room performance today was a like someone doing a bad impression of Victor! It was so contrived and deliberately delivered.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 22:52 (twenty years ago)

No Jason and Victor singing the theme tune from Cheers was the funniest.

Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:03 (twenty years ago)

Skidmore otm. His 'rents must be mortified. Love the way Michelle has made her hair more Shell-like. However, it was a fascinating performance on many levels, especially C4's use of sound. Michelle and Stu dumped their mics, so C4 had to maximize the volume of other mics around the place to get the moans and squelches. It was obvious cos of all the hiss.

Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:09 (twenty years ago)

I have absolutely no idea how they managed to make out what they were whispering to each other in the garden. I think they made half the subtitles up.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:12 (twenty years ago)

Having said that, my TV speakers are completely crap, but even if they were audible on this occasion, surely it is possible to whisper quietly enough right up close to someone that anything but a microphone actually implanted in their ear would be useless at picking it up?

I am impressed with Michelle's resourcefulness, spotting the opportunity that the table provided.

The '"'m going to handcuff every part of him to the walls" bit earlier was also impressive, in its own way

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:16 (twenty years ago)

I geniunely fear for Stuart's safety when he gets out. Especially if an when he dumps Michelle.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Could Michelle's tactics be classed as sexual abuse?

Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:20 (twenty years ago)

She's certainly no slouch at pressuring people into sex.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:22 (twenty years ago)

Alba, no. They've got some very, very good quality unidirectional mikes in various places and by pointing them correctly you can pick up pretty much anything. That's why there's so much hiss when they're doing it. < wanders off into mini-lecture on signal-to-noise ratio >

I suspect, despite all the professed hate in various places for the JCs, that Victor and Jason being up could substantially split the voting and Dan could be in real trouble. He obviously thinks this himself, as he left the stag party last night to 'be one of the girls'. You have to ask also if he was genuinely serious about his "I'll walk if I might win" threats, why he's getting upset about being up for eviction - this must be getting picked up in the house as well.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:23 (twenty years ago)

I am v.impressed with their terrific mikes, but with my hands cupped around my mouth, and at the threshold of the listener themselves even being able to hear what I'm whispering, I reckon I could take them on.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:27 (twenty years ago)

Latest odds:

Nadia 5/6
Daniel 100/30
Victor 5/1
Stuart 7/1
Shell 10/1
Michelle 12/1
Jason 100/1

Lots of money must have been going on Victor, but no one seems to be backing Michelle as only Jason is less fancied than her.

Davel (Davel), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:39 (twenty years ago)

Some more clarse Vic from last night:

"number 6 in the house, number 1 in your hearts"

"dont mess with the ghetto V I C or you'll R I P, yeah for real...er and can we have some bread and milk please, thanks mate"

"I take names. You're in my pocket. Shut your mouth. Rest your gums, I own you, bi'atch."

I doubt he can win, but he should. Fo' shizzle.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:39 (twenty years ago)

The thing I do like about Victor, which all this prepared script for the diary room illustrates, is how intensely self-conscious he is about the whole thing. It first hit me when he raised the prospect of a 5 year reunion with Jason the other day. He's thinking about the whole game all the time, and its possibilities, rather than just living life from moment to moment in there. It's interesting to watch this, because it's the way I'd imagine myself being.

Daniel 100/30

Can someone explain to me why bookies sometimes give odds like this? Why 100/30 rather than 10/3?

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 08:49 (twenty years ago)

For the first time I almost feel sorry for Stu. It seems to me that he's been trying for weeks to avoid losing his virginity live on TV with an audience that probably includes his parents and now has gone and done it, purely by being too spineless/inarticulate to admit it.
Ben above OTM re the parents and restraining order.

Adam Faithless (Adam Faithless), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 09:50 (twenty years ago)

Can someone explain to me why bookies sometimes give odds like this? Why 100/30 rather than 10/3?

Alba - bookies quote odds in that scale because 10/3 (ten to three) could easily be mistaken for the time of a race. therefore, they quote the odds so it doesn't cause confusion on placing the bet.

It is common convention, as it really wouldn't confuse anyone on big brother betting.

___ (___), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 09:52 (twenty years ago)

Ah - long time puzzlement has evaporated. Thanks.

Is/was Stuart a virgin? That's one of the things I was wondering about last night.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 09:53 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I didn't realize that.

Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 09:55 (twenty years ago)

But they have 5/2 and 10/1 as odds! How are they less like times?

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:02 (twenty years ago)

Just a hunch, based on his general lack of maturity and awkwardness. The love of dressing up, Team Handsome business and general unworldliness seem to indicate a certain lack of life experience. Terifying though Michelle is, surely he could just have said "I want to wait until we leave the house" unless he was self-concious about his reasons for it. X-post.

Adam Faithless (Adam Faithless), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:02 (twenty years ago)

I never thought of that, but it makes so much sense now. One would have thought that the old posh school fandango would have given him experience in boylove, but a pushy older woman with scary skinny eyebrows is an entirely other kettle of fish.

Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:04 (twenty years ago)

I share your hunch, Adam, though I didn't get it until last night and the way in which he said "I can't"

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:05 (twenty years ago)

If we're right, it'll make for some dewy-eyed reminiscences. "Ah, it was perfect, the kitchen table, the lights, the cameras, the carefully concealed mics. Oh, and the nation watching with bated breath. I wouldn't have had it any other way."

Adam Faithless (Adam Faithless), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:11 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. I'm not 100% convinced that penetrative sex happened, in fact. I know that Michelle was boasting it did with her tool comments, and the bookies are paying out, but I wonder.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:14 (twenty years ago)

I don't think Michelle would have let him out from under the table if it hadn't...

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:15 (twenty years ago)

Are you technically still a virgin if it's only bum sex?

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:18 (twenty years ago)

It's weird to think that less than a week ago Michelle was favourite to win. Has Nadia got it sewn up? And if so, why? I mean, yeah, OK, she's brave and all that, but she's not actually entertaining.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:19 (twenty years ago)

It's possible that Stuart's parents threatened him in some way if he made a show of them in the house. I reckon having sex with your scarey girlfriend counts as an embarrassment.

accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure Nadia has been favourite for more than a week, hasn't she?

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:21 (twenty years ago)

they may not even have known he was going in. i do feel sorry for the boy though, the way he spent time walking round the table checking the views afterwards. He looked crestfallen.

xpost, she has yes.

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I really like Stuart now. I think he's replaced Dan as my second choice to win. Also, I think he actually has a chance, unlike Shell and Dan.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:28 (twenty years ago)

this week's will be the first interesting eviction anyway. They are all so sure that Vic is going to leave (because of the booing after his name was called last week) that the look on everyone's face when jason's name is called will be classic. will vic be able to hide his surprise/glee?

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:30 (twenty years ago)

So, tell me why lovely Shell doesn't have a chance of winning? And why Nadia's a shoe-in? I presume the bookies pay close attention to voting patterns more than anything else, so I have to say I'm baffled.

Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:33 (twenty years ago)

me too.

Dan and Shell discussing failing the task and having to live off basic rations for the week and potentially incurring victor's wrath:

She told Dan if they lost the shopping, "[Vic's] going to go nuts at us."

"It wont affect him anyway," said Dan, apparently certain of Victor's departure on Friday.

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:37 (twenty years ago)

The bookies only concern is how much money bet on each person.

Looking briefly at the odds, and my maths could be way out, and a bit wrong, currently out of every £100 bet £60 is on Nadia to win, £15 on Dan, shell only £5 and Jason only 50p


Davel (Davel), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:41 (twenty years ago)

People don't dislike Shell, but when it comes to actually voting for the winner out of the final three, I don't get the sense that many of the typical BB voters will feel strongly enough about her.

They like to vote for someone who's a 'national treasure' in some way, I think, as well as someone who's not a threat to them in any way. Women rarely win, but Nadia is a special case, being a crazy Portuguese transsexual.

I do think the odds on Nadia should be (maybe are) lengthening. She's in a real rut at the moment - as I said I think unless she perks up, she's in danger of having peaked too early. I think a lot could still change, depending on what happens in the next couple of weeks.

I'd say Dan, Shell and Jason are the only ones who I can't imagine winning it.

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:42 (twenty years ago)

The odds on Nadia will only go out if people are betting elsewhere.

Davel (Davel), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:45 (twenty years ago)

But how can they possibly fail the task?

xpost Dan 'could' win. Stuart is a good looking chap but has no pers. away from Michelle.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:45 (twenty years ago)

would channel4/endemol respond to anyone else in the house's pleading desperate request for a luxury (albeit and addictive luxury) item?

x post - they currently have a mini-task involving pole dancing (!) according to ds:bb

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:47 (twenty years ago)

oh, OK. ta.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:50 (twenty years ago)

You really can't imagine Dan winning? I'm sticking to my guns and still reckon he will.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 10:56 (twenty years ago)

i tend to follow the txt messages on the late night live broadcasts to guage who is popular at any given time among likely voters.

in week 1 nobody was saying "nadia 2 win" at all, or even mentioning her much, but for about the last 3 weeks the majority of txts seem to say this. mind you, Ahmed was also getting a lot of +ve txts about 5 days before he got evicted - his behaviour during the boot camp task probably did for him. Victor is still running about 50-50 on supportive and negative txts.

zebedee (zebedee), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 11:16 (twenty years ago)

First UKIP and now Nadia with a chance of winning. I feel out of touch w/ this country. Shell has grown on me a lot, and is obv the prettiest, so her to win. Dan I initally liked but, like Victor, he's deep into self-parody territory. Michelle again I did want to win but she's gone a little bit too far towards 'psycho hose beast'.

Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:10 (twenty years ago)

I think Victor is amazing, if he comes out winner he'ls think he's a god, a star and the cleverest man in Britain.

How cool would that be?

mei (mei), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:16 (twenty years ago)

Victor, on not winning:

"Oho! would'st had been done! Thou didst prevent me; I had peopled
else this isle with Victors. Shizzle my nizzle!"

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:31 (twenty years ago)

Stuart is a good looking chap but has no pers. away from Michelle

And not that much with her either. The Emma and Michelle double act > > > the Stuart and Michelle double act.

The only people I can't see winning are Michelle and Jason.

The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:50 (twenty years ago)

I still think Michelle will win.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:51 (twenty years ago)

I like stuart, now -- he says funny things, now and then.

RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 12:55 (twenty years ago)

I think Stuart should just out himself and be done with it, get it on with Dan under that table.

mei (mei), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago)

Not that I have any basis for that, but it would be good viewing.

mei (mei), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 22 July 2004 00:40 (twenty years ago)

Women rarely win

Eh? There've only been three winners so far and one was a woman. All it takes is one more and we're back to 50/50.

I'm getting increasingly pissed off with Michelle's double standards and insensitivity - it's OK for her to lick jam off nipples but not for him to get in the jacuzzi with other girls and she's happy to brag to her mates (and x million viewers) about what she's up to, even though he's asked her to keep it quiet. I honestly don't know why Stuart hasn't just said "look, I'm a private person and I don't want to do anything in front of any cameras". Unfortunately, I can see him caving in to the promise of OK cash and staying with her for a month or so after they come out of the house to do a couple of photo shoots and Our Story interviews but they're definitely not going to turn into Helen and Paul.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 22 July 2004 09:18 (twenty years ago)

There have been four winners so far and only one has been a woman. Keep up!

Also, I was talking in a broader international context.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 22 July 2004 09:30 (twenty years ago)

OK, I forgot Craig (it's understandable).

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 22 July 2004 09:53 (twenty years ago)

Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 22 July 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago)

"look, I'm a private person and I don't want to do anything in front of any cameras".

That would be more believeable if he hadn't got involved with her in the first place, or if he wasn't in a house surrounded by cameras watching his every move.

I like the virgin theory. Also the psychologist lady on BBLB today had a good theory - that he hides behind her loud personality to make himself seem more harmless and pleasant.

accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 22 July 2004 16:44 (twenty years ago)

I dunno, I could probably snog on camera but would no way do the deed.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 22 July 2004 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I would do the deed in front of a camera in a heartbeat but my wife wouldn't, ergo there will be no deed-doing coming from me.

Not that I'm on Big Brother UK.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 July 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago)

Which is something I lament with every passing day.

Victor was quite revelaing last night -- he has four sisters, so doesn't seem to find anything odd about his, uh, direct way of handling angered females.

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 23 July 2004 07:08 (twenty years ago)

Victor seems to have a pathological inability to grasp the concept that not everyone else in the world thinks like he does, and not everyone else in the house has the same massive hangups that they are simply better at hiding.

Dan totally 0WN3D Victor last night without even having to say very much. Also he looked like a Tim Burton character sitting in that suit, grinning manaically at Victor.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 23 July 2004 07:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that was classy. I kind of feel Stuart is being a dick just by not taking sides in this stuff. But the whole 'fence-sitting' thing I don't understand: J and V keep banging on about people sitting on the fence and not calling it like they see it. But all *they* do is bitch and piss together. They never call anyone out on shit!

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 23 July 2004 07:33 (twenty years ago)

but i don't get victor's 'we're providing the entertainment by being characters and having opinions and you're just riding on our coattails' thing. given the choice of voting for somone quiet or someone with 'character' when said characteristics were those he was showing last night, i'll go for the quiet one every time.

(this was followed by another such character in 'Missing Me Already?'. was disappointed when she turned up under the clock in the end.)

that said, ahmed seems to be an entirely different person now he's been re-introduced into society.

koogs (koogs), Friday, 23 July 2004 07:58 (twenty years ago)

You make it sound like a rehabilitation of offenders programme.

Alba (Alba), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:00 (twenty years ago)

If shell was playing a game of staying quiet so as not to be noticed then she is smarter than victor who will almost certainly go!

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:02 (twenty years ago)

I think Victor calls people out on certain things, just look at last night. Okay he had a bit to drink and got aggro (xpost yes this has not done him any favours with the public), though I liked the way he challenged Dan.

Jason on the other hand is either a coward or very cunning and he doesn't seem to out anybody, as you say he just sits and bitches to Victor about it.

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:07 (twenty years ago)

But his call-outs are so lame, they amount osaying... 'you don't call people out'!! What's he really said?

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:08 (twenty years ago)

"Dan, you kiss arse too much."
"Am I kissing you arse now?"
"......... You're a clever boy, Daniel"

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:12 (twenty years ago)

That argument with Dan was so lame on Victor's part. Dan to win!

get off this thread you lot ;)

in a minute - unfinished business here.

ahmed seems to be an entirely different person now he's been re-introduced into society

how so? details? (I haven't seen anything of ahmed post-eviction)

zebedee (zebedee), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:19 (twenty years ago)

he's stopped masturbating in front of the mirror apparently.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:21 (twenty years ago)

> You make it sound like a rehabilitation of offenders programme.

isn't it though? i was thinking more of an insane asylum but... 8)

> how so? details? (I haven't seen anything of ahmed post-eviction)

he's been funny, flirty and kind on bblb this week (was given a choice of three places to visit for the morning, chose the school and seemed to be really genuine and enjoying himself with the kids who were delighted he was there). hasn't been afraid to take the mickey out of himself a bit either (on the floor between two giant slices of bread and assorted salad stuff - 'Dermot, i've changed my mind...')

koogs (koogs), Friday, 23 July 2004 08:27 (twenty years ago)

He's basically loving the limelight.
