Celebrity Big Brother 2006 - Thread One - Who are these painful showoffs?

Message Bookmarked

By tradition, the thread one.

So the 'rumourmill' has it, one or more or less of the following:

Michael Barrymore, Esther Rantzen, Dead Or Alive frontman Pete Burns and comedian Liza Tarbuck.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

And Macaulay Culkin. WTF.

These colliding universes always seem far more interesting in concept than in reality though.

I think they should do one in a pitch black warehouse space, with offal pits, pugel sticks, halucinogenics in the water supply and heavy strobing. Music supplied by Whitehouse. The last to go insane is the 'winner'.

― Mestema (davidcorp), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

I'd love to see that! Especially if they used snazzy Predator heat-vision instead of the usual dreary green ParisHiltovision.

― melton mowbray (adr), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

If Esther Rantzen's in it, she'll win.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

I heard Anna Nicole Smith, Ruud Gullit, Faria Alam (hmmm, can you spot who they think may be the potential couple?) and Jimmy (as opposed to Liza) Tarbuck as well as everyone else you've mentioned. I will presumably see Barrymore's rehabilitation into society/total breakdown on the news, thereby relieving me of the need to actually watch the thing...oh, who am I kidding, I'll be watching it because I am sad reality TV junkie and observer of Z-list celebs.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Celeb BB is so short I doubt you'll need more than one thread for this.

― Sororah T Massacre: Thread Nazi (blueski), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

You are probably right.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

well at least these are people I have heard of.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

Really. How long before someone is killed in a reality tv show? Didn't Annalise from Neighbours smash her pelvis in the recent I'm a Celebrity...?? What if she'd split her nut instead? WHO WOULD PAY??

The Running Man is not far.

― Mestema (davidcorp), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

argh i really need to stop watching reality tv. not for moral reasons, i mean it'd be great if someone died, but shit all that wasted time.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

First person to comment on Barrymore via the outdoor Big Brother pool gets to write for the Daily Mail for the rest of all time...

How's anyone going to get killed on Big Brother? Pecked to death by chickens?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

there was a near stabbing in BB USA one year. and have been many accidents over the years, mainly running and tripping.

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

The Sun have been rather horrible about Barrymore.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

can't think why

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Unless someone should happen to cop it from an instantaneous starvation or things get reeeeeeally carried away with the bottlefrigging, I doubt it will be on CBB. Reality TV deaths are impending though, no doubt. We can only hope it's one featuring Robert 'Robbie Williams' Williams.

― Mestema (davidcorp), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Tbh, I don't know nearly enough about Barrymore to comment, but wasn't his "crime" to have a house big enough for the sort of party that the chattering classes would turn their noses up at (being full of teh gays and people who take drugs, oh noes!), where someone happened to die? For years before that, Barrymore was a high-profile meltdown waiting to happen. I never really liked him as an entertainer, and I'm not sure I want to watch his probably excruciating attempt to get back into favour with the people who drove him to the other side of the world.

Maybe he will outdo Vanessa and go completely bonkers before taking an AK-47 to the rest of his housemates.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

.. which he brought in as his 'luxury' item.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

a house big enough for the sort of party that the chattering classes would turn their noses up at (being full of teh gays and people who take drugs, oh noes!), where someone happened to die?

the chattering classes love gays and drugs, what are you talking?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

Not the Daily Mail reading tweedy nimby types, they don't. Unless it's nice cuddly gays like Sir Elton John.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

to be honest, the ILE threads during the last BB were several times more entertaining and enjoyable than watching the real thing. therefore, i'm not going to watch this.

no, really.

honest.

i'm not. i mean it. i'm really not.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

(unlike enrique, though, i'm hypocritical/silly enough to try to convince everybody that it really is a moral decision and i am TAKING A NOBLE STAND etc etc.

no, really.

honest.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Well SOMEONE has to watch it, or else the ILE threads will be shit. I'll selflessly propose myself, but I'll be needing company. *waves at Grimly Fiendish*

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

i will not watch the show probably, but i will read the thread(s).

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

The ILE threads for last year's BB reached their apothesis with the jubiliation of Science beating Maxwell, and the response to Kinga shoving a wine bottle up her cunny.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

ailsa, if you and dom are watching it for the rest of us, i'm happy with that.

no, really.

honest.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

*bashes GF round head with a copy of Heat*

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

and the response to Kinga shoving a wine bottle up her cunny.

this was shown again the other day but i managed to turn over just in time, in a scene reminiscent of where Homer and Bart desperately try and replace the batteries in the remote control in order to change channel and avoid the broadcast of a space shuttle launch.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

That alone was worth it for the look on Anthony's face though. But, yes, I would gladly never see it again.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

I'm hoping the Macaulay Culkin rumour is true and at some stage all the other housemates will suddenly disappear, leaving him on his own to defend the BB house from Joe Pesci.

― James Ward (jamesmichaelward), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

i had "the look on anthony's face" as a desktop background for a month.

i managed to turn over just in time

as opposed to yr stomach turning over, etc etc.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

[actually reads james ward's post, chokes laughing]

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Right, it starts tonight, apparently.

Other names possibly include (or not)

Boy George, US basketball star Dennis Rodman and actresses Rula Lenska.

Oh, and Johnny Vegas is favourite to win. Even though he's not on any of the rumour lists so far.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

I saw a picture of him in the Sun on whatever day they started their Barrymore stories (Tuesday?) as one of their names on the shortlist. (As I recall, their list was Barrymore, Rodman, Vegas, Shane Magowan, Gillian McKeith, Jimmy Tarbuck, Esther Rantzen, Faria Alam, Anna Nicole Smith and Brian Harvey.)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Shane? What would be his luxury item? Dublin?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Oh please, let Gillian McKeith be on it, but only give them junk food....

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

who's this basketball guy?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

if Culkin doesn't get in it then I ain't watchin it, no sirree bob

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

Dennis Rodman - the guy with the multicoloured hair.

I can't decide whether or not I like Johnny Vegas.

His 'show' (18 Stone of Idiot?) was the most excrutiating bag of shite I've ever forced myself to sit through.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

Paddy Power odds:

Johnny Vegas 5 - 2
Liza Tarbuck 7 - 2

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

he dated Madonna too, xpost

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

Rodman has done it with Madonna (xpost!)

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

but then so has Johnny Vegas by now (probably)

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Sleb Big Brother Saves Lives!

(from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4172642.stm)

7. The day when most suicides occurred in the UK between 1993 and 2002 was 1 January, 2000.

8. The only day in that time when no-one killed themselves was 16 March, 2001, the day Comic Relief viewers saw Jack Dee win Celebrity Big Brother.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha 'done it'

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

you are all 100% insane.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Well, if Shane Mac's in it, he'll win. If not, he won't.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I might watch some of this, if it's on at the chinese takeaway when I'm waiting for my duck w/crispy noodles, perhaps.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

And next year, it'll be Wild Man Fischer.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

For a moment there I confused Jocelyn Jee Esien with Jocelyn Wildenstein. I'd have preferred that.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

It would be excellent if Shane Magowan went in and as his luxury item, he took Dickon Edwards.

― James Ward (jamesmichaelward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

Also, those Paddy Power odds, are they the odds to win or the odds to go in the house?

― James Ward (jamesmichaelward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

If Pete Burns goes on, isn't there a risk viewers may confuse him with Jackie Stallone from last year?

― James Ward (jamesmichaelward), Thursday, 5 January 2006 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

The odds are to win, no refunds for non-runners.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

It would be excellent if Shane Magowan went in and as his luxury item, he took Dickon Edwards.
-- James Ward (jamesmichaelwar...), January 5th, 2006.

hahaha! wonder how many people got this.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Thursday, 5 January 2006 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

And...we're on!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

IT'S ON!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

By the looks of those "guess the celebrity" video clips, this year's housemates include Valentino Rossi and the late Dermot Morgan.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

And, bizarrely, Chris Sutton (maybe that's why he left Celtic today)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to feel really foolish when none of them look anything like Chris Sutton, aren't I?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

OK, come on, first "You brought your swimming trunks?" gag on Barrymore? I'm saying by 11pm tonight.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

Wasn't the house, like, two rooms last year? It's the size of fucking IKEA this year.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

WOW PLOT TWIST UNFAMOUS PERSON GOES IN THE HOUSE.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Will Pete Burns' lips melt in the sauna?

The house looks great!

Haha, twist = someone non-famous has to convince the slebs that they are famous. Like when Jessie Wallace's ex-boyfriend went on The Farm then?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Pete Burns has already won it, for me. Call me mad. He's just so gloriously bitchy in interviews. So sharp. Has a wonderful turn of phrase.

PLOT TWIST - won't work. They'll just say: "I'm AWFULLY sorry to be so rude, but I'm afraid I don't know who you are." Some of them did that with Kenzie, dint they, last year?

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

Thus unfamous person better be damn entertaining.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

Well, that's that one gone.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

She looks like Tony Adams in drag.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

I hate her already.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

fun/ a bit dizzy/ outrageous?

how refreshing

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

lol nuts magazine cover girl, amirite?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

Oh God, she's an Essex girl, model, called Chantelle, is stupid, looks like Helen Adams* and is TOTALLY MADE UP (hopefully)

*or Tony Adams

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

That's MADE UP as in an actress playing the part, the fact she's covered in slap is totally obvious.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

This is easy though, she can just say she's a glamour model. Piece of piss.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

My prediction is that Hank Williams III will be a mystery guest.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

I bet she thinks she looks like Paris Hilton

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

AND YET SHE LOOKS LIKE ORANGE PEEL

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

Sole Google match for "candy floss" "i want it right now"

This is like the shit with Makosi's secret mission. Idiots be funny! (according to BB producers)

Oi, Dom, that's Kandy Floss with a K

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

HAH!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

"Shady's back, tell a friend"

BRILLIANT!

Oh my god, it's Michael Barrymore SURPRISE!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

Bernie Winters impressions! No wonder he emigrated.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

Is he gonna be doing these painful impressions all week?

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

(I think it was him from an odd angle at the back of his head that I thought was Chris Sutton)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

What don't I like? Easily rupturable anal passages.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

this is so so wrong

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

Other possible guests: Jimmy Snuka, Don King, Leadbelly, Andrei Chikatilo.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

Jeez, he's crying at the adulation of his carefully-selected public.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

DIGITAL SPY KICKS INTO GEAR! The best rumour so far: George Galloway is one of the contestants.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

That was really too much cheering.

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

YES PETE BURNS!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

I am CONVINCED that Chantelle is an actress.

YAY! It's PETE BURNS!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

he must rumble chantelle??

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, Pete Burns was really attractive in the 80s.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

Pete Burns has been married to his school sweetheart since he was in his early twenties. And yet he's said in the past that he wants constant change. It's interesting.

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

How *long* does Chantelle have to convince people she's a sleb for? What if no-one *asks*?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

The black one from Baywatch!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

She seems OK.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

sam and i just let out a massive whoop when Pete Burns came on. Barrymore is incredibly depressing already.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but Barrymore is The Show this year.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

To elaborate, she seems like a total cross between a bimbo and one smart cookie. She also seems to have a self-deprecating streak, which makes her 1000000000x the person that Barrymore is.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

One of Goldie Lookin' Chain.

Dennis Rodman! Someone for Traci to talk to!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

It's Rodman! This is like putting fucking Gheoghe Hagi in the US Big Brother house.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

"I fuck celebrities"!

RODMAN MUST WIN

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 5 January 2006 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and I bet the producers think he's going to chat to Pete about skirts and make-up all show. Why didn't they just get Izzard as well and be done with it.

One of the women in my office spent most of today telling everyone who would listen how she wasn't going to watch this on principle if Barrymore was on it, it was disgusting that "a man like him" would get to be classed as a celeb. I don't know if she meant a homosexual, a man who owns a house where someone once died and no charges were brought in connection with that incident, or a deeply unfunny and very troubled man.

I'm going to spend all of tomorrow talking about it with our receptionist who I can guarantee will (1) have watched it, (2) have no idea who at least six of the celebs are, and (3) will fancy Preston.

Nice to see GG taking his job of representing the people of Bethnal Green and Bow so seriously. The Commons comes back from the Xmas break on Monday, but Georgie will be locked in the wrong house.

But then he is one of the biggest fuckwits on the planet, so I shouldn't be too shocked. How will his new mates at the MAB react to him hanging out with men who sleep with men and men who dress like women and women who don't dress very much at all?

Who goes first?

So, who put bets on Johnny Vegas to win (at 'favourite' prices)?

Also, how will we know that chantelle has 'fooled' everyone into thinking she's also famous? Seeing as how they all are more worried about their own 'image projection' to be too fussed about anyone elses, I think she will avoid 'detection'.

Unless they all have to vote for the 'least famous' person later. (Actually, that isn't such a bad idea! It would certainly fit the bill).

Or are they waiting for someone to say "Hang on a minute, You aren't actually famous at all, are you?"

Pete Burns "I can go both ways"

aldo otm re Jodie's nose. She seems to have two different noses welded together at the wrong angle (not that I'm claiming there's a correct angle to weld noses together at).

I think Dennis may walk if he isn't evicted first. He seemed to spend the entire evening standing around saying "What the fuck am I doing here?" to himself. Nice to see Chantelle attempting to bond with him - "I played netball at school!"

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 6 January 2006 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

I think you're right about Dennis. He seems somewhat claustrophobic.

What's the story with him? The intro seemed to gloss over 'cross dressing' and accentuated his macho testosteroneness. One photo? That makes it a 'stag' night lark. Is he more into it than that?

Preston felt he had to put his jacket on last night to cover up his microphone pack because "it looks a bit... you know..."

But then he did introduce himself to Barrymore with "awite!" so he's not all bad.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 6 January 2006 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

Mostly minor slebs, yes, but three of them are huge: Rodman, an international superstar who happens not to mean much to large sections of the British public; Barrymore, who was for years the biggest thing on British TV and whose downfall made him a Fatty Arbuckle for our times; and Gorgeous George, who, for better or for worse, is a major international figure as long as the Iraq war is in the headlines.

I did think she looked a little like Paris, it was the annoying hair.

I hope she starts saying "Thank you bitch" to everyone, and "that's hot".

Then she can make a sex film with Maggot that he sells via the GLC website.

Apparently the Ordinary one has sussed her this morning, mainly because she was talking about how Kandy Floss were successful in Japan and had to cancel a tour to be on the show. Which, coincidentally, is his story.

― CLassic or Dadaismus? (Dada), Friday, 6 January 2006 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

my mate was unwittingly caught up in the faria alam scandal. can't remember quite how: think he rented a flat she used to live in, or something. anyway, he got a shitload of hassle from a very downmarket red-top tabloid for a week or so, and was at one point offered a small amount of cash for his "story".

"i don't have a story," he protested.

"that's ok, we can make one," they said.

she was a vague friend of his family, and he told me he remembered first meeting her as a teenager and going: "phwoar, eh, coo." only in a more erudite and elegant way.

no, really.

honest.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

if i was watching it - and i'm not, really, honest - i would observe that surely it would have been much funnier/more challenging on the part of the producers to bung chantelle in there and NOT TELL THE VIEWERS AND MEDIA that she isn't famous.

oh, and i might also observe that rula lenska is oddly hott. but, given that i'm not watching it, i can't say any of this.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

I have been stuck in the world of disconnected wireless thingy for the first forty minutes, so have been unable to share my views with the world. And, having the attention span of a carrot, I can't remember very much except that Preston is annoying me already. And, oddly, Barrymore isn't.

I'm scared of Jodie's teeth - surely they will keep everyone awake when the lights go out. Also, watching Traci chase Dennis round a table for ages was amusing.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

To derail the thread totally, the result of the public vote on Soapstar Superstar could see Wendi Peters (her what plays Cilla Battersby-Brown) singing Here's Where The Story Ends. They even said it was "The Sundays' Here's Where The Story Ends" and not "Tin Tin Out's...", so perhaps the public won't know what song they are talking about and not ruin the song even further by making the horror happen.

grimly, I don't think it will happen, but presumably on the next episode of Soap Star Superstar.

Early indications are that Maggot and Pete will be my favourite people, by virtue of not being any of the rest of them.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

Maggot is very likeable, inne?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah I thought so too until he came out with all that "Well, Barrymore seems ok but I hope the public understand that I don't really like him, I just have to play along til I get out of here. And uh, he kept giving a few gay looks like. Because I'm uh, irresistable to gay men like." Which made me think: Prick.

― Affectian (Affectian), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:15 (nineteen years ago)

Action on the markets: Barrymore and Maggot narrow to joint favourites, Preston drifts probably on account of not doing anything so far. Big money laid on the Honorable Member for Baghdad South, Pete Burns drifting heavily, being overtaken by the similarly heavily backed Chantelle.

Jodie Marsh on the drift out, Rodman's price has collapsed from 15/1 to 30/1, Lenska's pretty steady, and they're giving zero chance for Alam or Bingham to win (Alam now available at 80/1).

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

7/2 on Alam being first evictee, with fours on Rodman and Rubberlips available at 6. Chantelle at 8/1 seems good value if being chucked out for not being famous counts.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

See, Affectian, I thought Maggot was taking the piss with that bit. However I also thought Preston may be OK being that he's probably not stupid (even if his band are rubbish, I would have thought his influences might have rubbed off a *little* bit on him), but no, he's hanging about with Jodie. And he doesn't know who Rula Lenska is.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

Preston seems like some humourless way-too full of himself wideboy who bought his first suit last week. And that multicolour tattoo is one of the most disgusting things to hit my TV all week.

Ailsa, I don't think Maggot was taking the piss, I don't think he's sharp enough. It was typical scratty pothead talk: 'lets take the piss out of the gayers, but in a stoopid voice so it's all ok and fuh-nee'. To me he seemed genuinely concerned about the public tarring him with the same brush as Barrymore. If he was taking the piss (and parodying the fears of his fellow housemates along with demonstrating remarkable self-awareness) then jeez Louise, he's savvier than I give him credit but I doubt it. I hope I'm wrong though, I was warming to the guy before that bit. The next few days should reveal all.

Alba, I don't think it is Annalise out of Neighbours, but now that you mention it, I can see that too.

She was on about it all day yesterday as well, as people were discussing it, she was all "I can't believe they let him on the TV, it's so offensive, blah, blah". Everyone nodded and agreed, except me. I said "What exactly is wrong with him doing this, he hasn't actually ever been found guilty of doing anything wrong? I find it more offensive that a person PAID public money to represent members of the public is taking part" and they all looked at me funny, so I just sloped off again.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 7 January 2006 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

I just turned this on and Burns and Barrymore appear to be duetting furiously like pub singers, but we can't see them so I can only presume they're starkers. Occasionally we can't hear them either because Rodman and Lenska are have such a slander-heavy chat they keep cutting to birdsong. It's all pretty avant-garde.

Oh, Ava's just turned the telly off.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 7 January 2006 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Sadly/fortunately on Soapstar Superstar, the public voted for Cilla off Corrie NOT to sing the Sundays. Given the mauling she is giving Be My Baby at the moment, we can only be thankful.

Nothing of note has happened in CBB yet. Though the task is for the music people to sing their music - so we will get to hear Kandifloss !

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 7 January 2006 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

Jodie showing a masterful lack of tact towards Barrymore's issues despite pulling the "love me love me, I'm human" stunt almost permanently, even when no-one is talking to her. ("Well, I don't feel sorry for him", when Traci has just said she admires him for being open and honest about his problems and his strength in conquering them)

(haha, Barrymore is eavesdropping on them talking about him)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 7 January 2006 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

How can she possibly think the public will vote for her as a poor misunderstood little girl (I take it this is her "plan", such as it is) when she is showing no regard for anyone, and every conversation she participates in is just an excuse to slag off people she doesn't like or to be turned round to how wronged she has been by the public, and how badly it affects her.

we turned this on at about 12.30am and barrymore was whammed. slurring nonsense about soundmen and jesus. it was almost painful to watch. more painful, however, was watching jodie trying to understand a word of it ;)

maggot was being quite cool, in that "oh christ, this guy's pissed, but i'll try to keep him happy and not upset him" way.

having read that (very good) independent article linked above, the most obvious thing about barrymore seems to be that he perceives himself - correctly! - as a victim of the media. i'm just not convinced that an emotionally fragile man with a massive axe to grind should be being paraded in front of us in the name of entertainment.

to be honest, i'd rather like him to win: his ego needs it.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 8 January 2006 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

ah, the joy of a lazy sunday afternoon: sitting here with the laptop, waiting for mrs fiendish to come out of the shower so we can go for lunch, and watching a group of assorted singers, politicians, actors, sportspeople and muppets trying to do their shopping.

rodman is doing the weediest arm exercises ever, using what looks like a pair of barrymore's braces. pete burns is combing his hair. maggot is unshaven in a dressing gown, and i therefore feel a great affinity with him. that smug teetotaller galloway is sitting pontificating about booze while belching foul-smelling cigar smoke into the atmosphere.

jodie's nose is a miracle of science, isn't it?

hark: mrs fiendish is out of the shower. back to life, back to reality.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 January 2006 21:55 (nineteen years ago)

noooo. sorry, I find her very annoying

Preston and Maggot, it's quite 'indie' of them isn't it? Usually famous people think they are the most fabulous people in the world, and the two who are in bands who have played the toilet venues go straight for the other end of the line.

some fool pointed out to dermot this morning that if they released the Kandyfloss single as a download it would get into the download chart (whatever that is) with about 4000 downloads. they couldn't do this without real vocals, could they?

maggot falling on his sword like that and his whole 'it doesn't matter' was probably 100% correct - it doesn't matter. unless the people who came below chantelle were then put up for eviction but i doubt they'd do anything other than straight evictions with the celebrities. the psychologist this morning also said interesting things about faria, about how she was holding back and even when everyone had sorted their positions she stood very sheepishly on the back of podium they had left for her. (she is probably recognised by name by more english people than a lot of the others given she was in all the papers at the time, not just the tabloids)

Then I felt happy for him when he entered the house to screams of delight from the crowds. And in the house he seemed pretty smart, on the ball, looked askance when galloway came in tec. Then he did a 'comedy' routine involving impressions of Hitler and Frank Spencer and I remembered why I don't like him.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 9 January 2006 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, but there are so many people watching that and saying "Wow, I remember how good he was" while crying with laffter.

Each to their own I guess.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 9 January 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

I suppose so. Preston looked bemused, which made me like him for the first time.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 9 January 2006 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

I liked it when preston first came in and was rummaging in his bag beside maggot and said, to him, "alright mate? what you up to? celebrity big brother? yeah, that's what I'm doing today too..."

but I don't like him, otherwise

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 9 January 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

what's not to like?

Michael Barrymore is awful. i guess we all know people who, when you ask them "how are you doing?", go an and on about themselves and what a hard time they get and never ask you a single thing about yourself. well he's that guy x1000.

Actually, moment of last night was:

Pete: "Oh hang on, why am I calling you Tracy?" to Chantelle, after she 'became' a 'celeb'.

Who Will Win Celebrity Big Brother 2006?

Price Stake
Michael Barrymore 5/2
Preston 13/5
Maggot 5/1
Chantelle 6/1
Pete Burns 8/1
George Galloway 14/1
Rula Lenksa 14/1
Dennis Rodman 20/1
Jodie Marsh 22/1
Traci Bingham 28/1
Faria Alam 50/1

I think George is way too high in the list, Jodie is too low (but isn't actually going to win), and Pete is a good bet. Oh, and unless Maggot is suddenly going to get more charming, he's way too high up there.

If Barrymore wins what will the tabloids do? Stick to their GAY RAPING MOIDERER guns or realise that the GBP generally like the guy, and opt for 'aww Bazza, we forgive you you big bloody gay!'?

The Sun are still doing some half-hearted anti-Barrymore stories - 'Barrymore is going ABSOLUTELY MENTAL AND WILL PROBABLY KILL HIMSELF', 'Barrymore pays tribute to HITLER BECAUSE HE LOVES HIM', 'Barrymore ATTACKS the QUEEN' - but the intensity seems to be decreasing as they realise most people feel sorry for him (helped in part by the way the tabloid press have been treating him).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 9 January 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

so when they asked how famous they were, did dennis say 'i'm namechecked in christina aguilera's "dirrty"?'

whoever was saying they didn't know anything about him-- he was a 'bad boy' in the detroit pistons when they were back to back world champs (er, 89/90? i was in middle school). he was known as 'the worm' because of the way he wiggled in for the rebound. drugs, drink, girls, and considered committing suicide in the parking lot of the palace (of auburn hills, not a real palance). got straight.

fast forward to the mid-90's when the chicago bulls were ruling the NBA, and rodman was the leading rebounder for several years in a row. he was part of the 'dream team' with pippen and that other guy, whatshisname. he had funky hair and lots of piercings, which hardly anybody (if anyone at all) in the NBA had. i thought he was swell, the real rebel of the league. i had his jersey and the whole series of dennis rodman plastic cups from mcdonalds (his hair changed color with the different temperatures), both of which required queues by a friend's mom, since these items were so desirable in chicago.

he didn't get along with the NBA commissioner, and was always getting technical fouls for attitude, and kinda sunk into nothingness after that.

so i can kinda see why he's a bit pissed off having sunk so low.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 9 January 2006 22:24 (nineteen years ago)

I missed most of tonight's show, having decided to give in to my John Simm crush-ette and watch "Life on Mars" on BBC1, which was so-so. However, I turned over at the end just in time to see Dennis lying on top of Jodie. Explain, someone - I have the fear of digital spy.

George Galloway is pissed off cos nobody wants to talk to him about parliament and he's the most important person there and the most famous because he's a household name to all 1.5 billion of the world's Muslims and girls who talk about sex are disgusting. But he can't help leering when he talks about them. Jodie is "lewd and crude and nude"? – he should be writing copy for jazz mags. And that fucking cigar, he's just pointing his choad at whomever he's ~~arguing with~~ shouting down.

This morning, on the live relay, Pete and Michael were bonding over tabs, approx 05:30am (I saw it on the 1 hr later e4)

Regarding Jodie and the 'fur' argument, and how she's writing her book:

Pete "I'm paranoid about leaving my pants around now!"
Mik "Why?"
Pete "She'll nick them and use them in evidence" (apparently, Jodie did this with a previous boyfriend to check for infidelities)

Pete "You know, when she does finish it, we'll both be in it"
Mike "Yeah, and it'll be the first time I've been in a fuzzy felt book!"

Who Voted How:

Chantelle

Rula: She’s very controlling. She’s got to be in the middle of everything…she’s clocking everything I’m eating."

George: "He more or less said I was uneducated. He said he couldn’t understand why I was a vegetarian when I come from Essex because most vegetarians come from North London."

Dennis

Preston: "He’s too shy and not open enough to be involved in the house. He’s always trying to find his place with different groups. Hhe’s too square, too conservative…rock stars don’t act like that."

Jodie: "She bitches too much about shit that got her famous. She said ‘I hate people talking about me, about my saggy tits,’ but she forgot that’s what got her in here, got her in the tabloids…that’s what got her famous."

Faria

Jodie: "I think she draws attention to herself a lot. She’s quite argumentative, even at the slightest thing. She draws attention to herself for the wrong reasons."

Pete: "He complains a lot, stays up a lot and talks a lot. Those things annoy me. He doesn’t seem to be happy with anything…he always seems to be a hypochondriac."

George

Jodie: "She’s a very troublesome element and a very troublesome person. She’s very negative and always looking for an argument. My absolute requirement is to seek harmony, she’s the opposite…she’s sexually obsessed of the crudest variety."

Pete: "He sings like an angel but is the housemate from hell. He is a person who is fantastically obsessed with appearance…the only man I know who took that long in the toilets when people are crossing their legs."

Jodie

Pete: "He called me the lowest of the low for taking revenge on my ex-boyfriend. That’s none of his business."

George: "He's old enough to be my dad but I feel bullied by him…and what he said to Chantelle about her being uneducated. I don’t think George is a very nice person. He hasn’t made any effort to get to know me or Chantelle."

Maggot

Pete: "He argued with Jodie yesterday and it went on a bit. I don’t mind a heated debate but it’s got to go somewhere. Don’t dwell on it. If Pete stays in the house there will be massive fireworks."

Jodie: "I see her looking unhappy now and a bit glum. I think the house will get on better without her."

Michael

Dennis: "He could join in a few times rather than being aloof."

Jodie: "Everybody’s to blame with everything that’s wrong with Jodie’s life. I can see in her eyes that I’m the enemy…I’m trying to help to mend other people.

Pete

Jodie: "I’m just not comfortable around her energy. I don’t like occupying the same space as her. Some of her views on things I find absolutely abhorrent to my principles. I wouldn’t piss on her if she burst into flames."

George: "This is just a short stop for him…I don’t think it would make any difference to him whether he stayed or not. He’d be strongest to cope with the rejection…he can take it."

Preston

George: "He doesn’t seem to get on with young people. When Chantelle had her party, I overheard him say ‘She’s going to win it now…’"

Faria: "She just bores me to tears.“She’s not really earned the right to be in here, she’s just had sex with someone. She fancies having a cookery show of her own… she’s trying to get in everyone’s favour by mothering everyone."

Rula

Dennis: "He doesn’t seem to participate in any of the group duties…he seems to need to be waited on hand and foot. He is always in the bedroom looking at the young girls getting dressed…I find it a little difficult to take."

Jodie: "She carries a chip on her shoulder and she keeps needing to prove that what she imagines people to think of her isn’t true."

Traci

Jodie: "I have a sense that she’s making more than a few people uncomfortable in the house. She wants to attack…I think you can prove a point without offending people."

Preston: "I never got a sense that he ever actually wanted to be here. I just don’t recall him doing chores around the house."

haha, Colette, I have no recollection of even typing that last night (I took a sleeping pill about half an hour beforehand, and don't even remember going to bed, so that must have been around the time zonked out, decided to turn the computer off and go to bed)! I'm sure I thought had a point, probably based on something you didn't even say, so, erm, I'm sorry for shouting.

Did George really say that stuff about most vegetarians being from North London, was he taking the piss, was Chantelle not understanding what he was really saying, what's the story? I mean, it was reason enough for Chantelle and Jodie to nominate him, whatever it was.

Jodie is even worse because she does it without prompting. And then when the subject changes to something completely different, oh, listen, she's still bleating about about herself. Dennis' reasons for nominating Jodie make him the OTMest MF on this show.

That was horrible. I assume Jodie Marsh is a pain in the arse, but out of context, that was nasty bullying and I'm surprised she didn't lash out, really. They interrupted her and when she had the cheek to try to respond they tell her not to interrupt.

All that fucking "this game" shit from Barrymore. What a nasty piece of work.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

See, when I started typing that "they are making her look stupid" comment, it had just started, and they *were* showing her up for the vacuous little girl that she is. But then they kept going and going and it got a bit uncomfortable.

Then she pulled the "but my dad's *ill*" line and I roffled a little despite myself. But yes, two grown men should have known where to draw the line, they'd made their point, such as it was, well before that.

Barrymore is a bully and has got a nerve lecturing others on how to conduct themselves in public. All that mumbling and sobbing during his nominations was so transparently calculated I was biting the sofa with embarrassment for him. Pathetic twat.

Marsh just needs help.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:45 (nineteen years ago)

I quite like Pete's "no bullshit" hard stance, but with Barrymore egging him on against Jodie who, let's face it, isn't really mentally equipped to deal with a reasoned argument from anyone with an IQ in three figures, he should have known better.

I would also actually have thought Barrymore had a point with telling her to get over herself, and that Burns had a point telling there that she should listen to Barrymore as he knows what it's like for the country to hate you and he's done something about it, had it not been for Barrymore's earlier diary room snivelling.

I could put up with the excruciating horror of his nomination process (come on, it's Big Brother! what do you expect?), but the hypocrisy of calling Jodie out on it the same thing was a bit stupid.

However, I am sure that Barrymore is not a well man. Do they put the celebs through the same psychological testing that they put the regular contestants through?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, OK, I've just read what *really* happened on digitalspy. Seems to have been pretty much edited against Jodie. Let me make it clear, I don't *like* Barrymore, but he is fascinating television. Marsh, on the other hand, is a self-centred cry-baby who needs professional help if she really can't see why this is making her so unhappy.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

(I am tired and under influence of sleeping pills again - I realise Barrymore needs help too, but at least he seems to be able to put on an act, even if it's a shit one (fascinating = wondering if he actually believes he's fooling anyone, or whether it's even an act or is he genuinely deluded), Marsh can't even do that, she's all "I hate Jordan, why do people hate me, why aren't we talking about me, I hate people who don't like me, I hate publicity so I'm going on Big Brother to put that right, I'm nice really, did I mention I hate Jordan, how dare she be nasty about me, she's just a daft old tart" etc etc)

Pete is 'hard' because he's had to put up with a ton of crap, being who he is. So, he's not going to be a shoulder to cry on, as even if he wanted to he'd still be "Pssh, I've had worse to put up with".

Barrym was 'listen to pete don't interrupt' even to the point of pete saying "I don't mind if she does".

Barrymore mentioned about the 'drink' during his nominations. He is coming over as a belligerant drunk. He's fallen off the wagon hasn't he?

My guess is that in a month, he'll see that 'discussion' with horror "Oh god I was bullying her into submission"

By contrast, Jodie's exit had quiet dignity. Went to bed, didn't burst into tears there. If all that was edited against her, she must have been mother theresa before.

I don't believe that George Gallawy "Fixed Saddam Hussein like I'm fixing you just now" and told him to get rid of his WMD's.

Is there any transcripts or proof of what was actually said during his conversation with Hussein? Because the last I heard Saddam Hussein was a calculated evil dictator who took no shit and backed down from nobody.

Of course I may be wrong, but the way Galloway was going on it was as though all he had to do was ask Hussein himself and then everybody would believe him.

GG claimed that Saddam assured him Iraq had no WMDs, which may well be true. Galloway's melodramatic account of the meeting, as told to Lenska, is probably bollocks though. Of course he is a self-aggrandising bore, but that differentiates him from 99.9% of politicians how exactly?

He shouldn't be in the house, mind.

i genuinely don't think barrymore should be in there. for his sake, for the other housemates' sake - and for the viewers' sake. i take back what i said upthread: it goes much deeper than him needing a win to boost his ego. the guy's not well, and there's something distasteful about watching him.

i didn't really pay much attention to the three-way fight last night, but barrymore didn't appear to be engaging with anyone on a normal conversational level; to my untrained eye, there was a slightly psychotic thing going on. that could just have been the editing, but ... hmm.

there was a piece in the guardian about this a couple of days ago: some psychologist saying barrymore's ego was so fragile that he needs the adulation of the public just to reassure him he actually exists. what the FUCK is he doing locked in a house with people as damaged as JM and PB, then?

Yeah, you're right RJG, I probably am misunderstanding. Never mind, hey? ;~)

Barrymore's one of those people who keep shouting you down. I hated it last night when he kept interuppting Jodie with "Explain it then, go on, explain it" and everytime she tried to speak he just shouted "EXPLAIN".

GG reckons Preston is a scheming stirrer and that he "arranged it" so that GG and Pete would be up for eviction in an attempt to keep Jodie in. He doesn't seem to get that *someone* has to be 2nd in the nominations and that Jodie can't simply be put up for the vote herself (or to put it another way, that this isn't Saddam's Iraq).

His entire theory falls to bits when you realise it relies on Preston actually doing something.

Do they only film Pete from the front? GG and Rula were just talking about how his arse cheeks have been exposed for days. I hadn't noticed.

Something about Preston's dress sense irritates me. It looks like he's wearing those clothes for the first time and isn't comfortable in them. As if his mum (or his record label) just nipped to Gap the day before CBB began and bought him a bunch of quasi-Mod clobber. And that little gold stud in his ear is drrreadful.

Maggot is rubbish. But any GLC member would have been equally out of their depth on their own and without their gang hyuck hyucking at every feeble wisecrack.

Rodman is odd and pretty unpleasant. He does two things: mumble nonsense and leer. One of the least essential housemates.

Has Barrymore started drinking again?! I don't find him anywhere near as objectionable as other people on the thread do, but yeah his rant at Jodie was hilariously over the top. Still, it's a credit to Jodie's utterly repugnant nature that she didn't come out of that looking any better. [If it was her up against Barrymore I'd wager ten crisp pounds that she'd still be out by a landslide].

Pete is fantastic: "You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink, you can take a whore to culture but you can't make it think." And when he called chanting-calming-*spiritual* irritant Rula a 'dried-up husk'. Awesome.

It isn't okay, but it is funny. Naughty and bad for poor Rula (for a brief second before she no doubt forgave him for his transgression) but jaw-dropping 'did he really say that right to her?!' funny, yes. If it makes you feel any better I doubt Rula got too upset about it. She's on a higher moral plain than him, see?

Possibly disturbed by Michael's early routine, Dennis began to talk in his sleep and some of the words he used were, frankly, not suitable for print. At about 5:50am, he began groaning in a way that could only suggest one thing, before calling out "oh Traci."

This woke Chantelle up, and as Michael tip-toed through the room she sheepishly asked him who Dennis was talking to. Michael didn't know, but at that point Dennis seemed to wake up, look at Michael, say the words "and you... chainsaw massacre...", before dropping back to sleep.

It got cleared by the Charity Commission of spurious claims that it was linked to Hamas. The fact the the US continues to treat it as a terrorist organisation is, to my mind, despicable.

Last night Bawwymore told Jodie that he had got to where he was today by listening to people who know better and keeping his mouth shut at the right times.

example being not telling his wife he was gay.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 13 January 2006 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

Example being telling Rula that he liked Jodie and didn't want her to go down a bad route, and telling George that he couldn;t stand her etc.

jodie is a tool; a complete waste of space. if she's as clever and articulate as germaine greer seems to think, how come she's landed herself with a public image - which she obviously hates - as a ridiculous airhead with no clothes? the woman is a knob, and there's no getting away from that.

but, as RJG says, she is far from the worst in there. pete burns and barrymore, no matter how damaged they are, are horrific. and galloway needs hauled out and shot.

it's all relative, i guess. and not a little depressing.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 11:11 (nineteen years ago)

Everything Germaine says is what I was thinking.

Still, good telly. Celebrities! You are there for out ENTERTAINMENT! Suffer in the BB house for us! You VOLUNTEERED!

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 13 January 2006 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

How Dennis didn't smack Barrymore in his racist gob just now, I'll never know. He's just been singing 'Summertime' into Den's ear in such a cringe-inducing way to try to get a rise out of him.

Why is the bumbling bastard still alive?

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 13 January 2006 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

what's b'more been up to, racism wise?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 13 January 2006 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

you're daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 13 January 2006 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

yoor daddy

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 13 January 2006 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

i would pay good money to see barrymore pulped by rodman.

indeed, by anyone.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

i mean: barrymore must be either insane or an idiot. all he had to do was go on there and come across as vaguely acceptable to the GBP, and bingo: instant rehabilitation and probably a new prime-time show for him to be "zany" in.

but no: he's gone in and acted like an enormous spurting penis. and now everybody hates him again.

spunker.

This has always been a good indicator, it was only wrong once in last years BB, which led to some feverish speculation about vote rigging.

Anyway, it seems Jodie and George are neck and neck. Pete seems safe.

Paddy Power says

1st Eviction


Jodie Marsh 		1 - 3 	
George Galloway 	11 - 4 	
Pete Burns 		9 - 1

George was 5-2 at one point last night so it looks as if more money's gone on Jodie since then.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 13 January 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

i missed the show. barrymore singing 'summertime' @ rodman = racist?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 13 January 2006 13:58 (nineteen years ago)

Given the controversy that's followed GG around for years how brilliant is it that his career could be ended by miaowing at Rula Lenska?

Jim'll fix it for a celeb housemate

Email this Story

13 Jan, 7:12 PM

Sir Jimmy Savile
Full Image

Sir Jimmy Savile will visit the Celebrity Big Brother house this weekend, TV bosses have confirmed.

The ex-DJ will enter the house on Saturday afternoon, while the housemates are completing their latest task.

He will arrive to the sound of the theme tune from his former hit TV show, Jim'll Fix It.

The 79-year-old will bring his own food into the house, only two cans of baked beans and his own cigars, because he does not want to use up their food rations.

He will ask the housemates to write letters to him about a wish they want to be "fixed".

He will then collect all the letters and leave the house early in the evening instead of staying there.

On Sunday morning, the former DJ will return to the house having chosen which housemate's request he wants to "fix".

He will leave again later on Sunday afternoon.

― Masked Gazza, Friday, 13 January 2006 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I missed the start of that, but I just heard Jodie end a sentence with "...well I have an issue with people dying in swimming pools".

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

That display by Barrymore was fucking disturbing. He reckons he's happy and well. He's deluded.

― Cracks (Crackity), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, God, I'm so sad - the mister and his pal have gone to the pub and I said "I'll come over once Big Brother is finished".

Galloway "if I'm evicted, I'll be pleased to get back to...."(goes on to list a billion things)
Me: (screaming at telly - yes, I'm in on my own) "Your constituency?" Your FUCKING JOB!!!"

bye jodie. quelle surprise.

XPOST HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO QUICKLY?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

Mixed reaction from the crowd. Tenner says Davina hugs her during the interview, and she will cry.

(Fear me! And my excellent typing skills!)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not betting against that at all ;)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

(I had typed "Evicted:" during the silence, so all I had to type was [name, comment] when it was announced). A posting technique I learned during the penalty shootout in the European Cup Final last season...

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

i was so confident about it being jodie that i'd typed THE ENTIRE POST before she announced it! all i had to do was hit send! and you still beat me!

ach, it's 'cos i'm drinking this here wine. hic.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

So, I didn't follow that bit of her interview, did she want to be first out or not, she seems to have changed her point of view halfway through a sentence there.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck, Jodie has an IQ of 136?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

Jodie demonstrated that size does matter today when she questioned an embarrassed Preston over the length of his penis.

Her interrogation began when Preston became concerned that he may have flashed her while in the pool.

"I was embarrassed because it might have unwittingly fallen out," he said. "I have done that in here before when I was getting changed."

"What, had a little flop out?" she asked.

"Yeah. No, not a little flop out."

"How big is your willy?" asked Jodie, a question she repeated multiple times, only to receive presumably sarcastic answers. "Tiny," Preston replied. "An inch."

He went on to claim he didn't know his vital statistic but Jodie was unconvinced, insisting: "All men know how big their own willies are."

"We're digressing," Preston pointed out but Jodie continued: "Seven, eight? You could just go like that [with your fingers] and show us the size."

"Yeah, but I don't want to," he laughed. "It's fucking tiny. You can't even see it, it goes inwards."

Finally he conceded with a riddle - "it's wider than it is long" - leaving Jodie impressed. "Is it? I like it that way."

Crying!!

Jodie Marsh got expelled from school when she was 16
for selling naked photos of herself to 6th form boys.
Her 12 year old brother took the photos. Class.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:51 (nineteen years ago)

Jodie, sweetheart, conversation is not "ask me about the things I want to talk about". It's a two-way process that DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

Pete is "the most hideous thing I've ever met, I don't think I could look at him". But yet, criticise Jodie's looks and you are WRONG. and EVIL.

Haha "most of my friends are gay and transvestites"

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

OK, she's gone, I can go to the pub now...

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

That's a pretty good summation of Jodie Marsh's career to date though, innit?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, Barrymore is 5/2 for next eviction, Georgie boy is threes, and Rubberlips is 4/1.

Preston just moved back into favourite to win, although money continues for Chantelle in second.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

george needs to be kept in as long as possible. the slimy fucker can talk his way out of all sorts of shit: the longer he's in, the more recorded evidence there'll be of him being a knob.

barrymore out next, for the sake of his own mental health, i think.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

i think that eviction and interview was unfair, misogynistic and depressing.

= every female BB eviction in the past few years.

― Merryweather (scarlet), Friday, 13 January 2006 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

I agree w/ jed I didn't see the eviction

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 January 2006 00:02 (nineteen years ago)

Jody was the summation of every female eviction in the past couple of years - the "I'll tell it as I remember it, and as long as I keep repeating it, it's true" interview.

See Saskia, Sam, Lesleh, Nadia (I mean, some people still believe it was Jason that turned the table over and not her, despite WHAT THE ACTUAL FOOTAGE SHOWS), Emma, Michelle...

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Saturday, 14 January 2006 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

I don't agree with jed_ = I am wrong. Seems fair enough to me.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't see the eviction, jed can you explain what was misogynistic?

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

I did see it. Can you explain, etc...

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

= every female BB eviction in the past few years.

Have you watched them all then? I don't think I've seen one.

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

I think I've seen most of them. It's basically "people with inflated egos being interviewed by Davina fucking McCall". They are always quite touchy-feely "we-love-you" hug fests, with the possible exception of, erm, someone last year (Sam, was it?) that wasn't very nice.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

I can barely credit the fact that I'm finally taking an interest in this thing.

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

sorry ailsa, i was furious last night so i missed out the "i think" in the "i think you're wrong in every way here" :P i Do think you are wrong though! i think this was the most disgusting interview i've seen from BB, with the possible exception of Makosi's last year. i WILL say more about it when i come back from town later but i'm off out now.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 14 January 2006 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Makosi, that was the horrible one I meant from last year. I'm also going out, but will respond later.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Can't wait for Pete Burns Vs. Jimmy Saville, though I suspect any real throwdown will be unbroadcastable.

― Soukesian, Saturday, 14 January 2006 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

I saw ms marsh getting interviewd at the chinese takeaway. i mean, I was in the takeaway, she was getting interviewed on the telly they had in the room. It didn't seem very interesting or controversial, though obv I haven't seen any of the prog. Mainly I was freaked out by her nose & lips. Why would someone do that to themselves?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 14 January 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

What's happening?

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

From the highlights show (last night's post-eviction stuff), Barrymore is doing a cunningly prescient impression of Jimmy Savile. Unfortunately he's doing it for the benefit of Traci, who I would imagine has absolutely no idea who Jimmy Savile is.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

To be fair he did say "now then now then aawaawaawaawaaa you no ave no idea who i am aawaawaawaawaa now then."

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

Right, considered opinion on Jodie Marsh. She is selfish, self-obsessed and utterly unlikeable. She is famous for nothing more than getting her tits out at every possible opportunity, yet hates her "public image" (see FHM photo upthread for the public image she portrays). She is mean and bitchy about people, yet bawls like a bairn or chucks hissy fits if anyone does same about her.

I don't particularly like Barrymore or Galloway either (I sort of like Burns when he isn't being a cock), but I find it very difficult to have any sympathy whatsoever for Marsh. She surely isn't that stupid that she can't see that not turning up at events in clothing measuring less than one square inch/not turning up at all would get her out of the public eye, if she hates the fame that she has craved and exacerbated by going on reality TV at every possible opportunity. Yet, there she is, pootling about the BB house wearing belts across her boobs, talking about shagging and bitching about Jordan.

The whole "my dad's ill" thing was calculated and showed her in a really crappy light - if she was that worried, why not pull out of the show? Oh, that's right, because she wants to be the centre of the fucking universe. Threatening suicide because, er, what was that because of again, because a couple of people she'd met four days earlier didn't like her very much? - that was low as well. Unless she is seriously ill and depressed and suicidal, in which case she needs help urgently. But no, she dismissed that one out of hand in her interview.

I don't hate her, I don't wish the girl any harm, but I cannot seriously put my hand on my heart and say she doesn't deserve the flak she's been getting. She could do with learning a few social skills and some self-restraint, or else learning to deflect flak, because she's going to go on attracting attention as long as she keeps putting herself in the public eye.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 23:16 (nineteen years ago)

Also, using Davina's "what have you learned about yourself" question to launch into an attack on the other housemates, i.e. not learned much then.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 15 January 2006 00:16 (nineteen years ago)

It would be nice if Jodie's supporters could stop just telling me they think I'm wrong and could explaining *why* I am wrong.
