Nowhere could be somewhere if the feeling's right so come on.

Surely this should be entitled;

I AM NOT! SUCKING! ARSEHOLES!

Please tell me she won't be kicked out on Friday. She is the only one worth watching.

Absolutely.

It's concentrating on something that will (or might) have more relevance after today.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

My Nikki love seem to be waning. Her tantrums are still for the most part hilarious but I'm starting to find her chipmunk/crying face annoying.

Glyn ingenue mask appears to be slipping too.

i agree too! but i wanted to chose something that wouldn't piss you off after 2 days of looking at it and would sit ok on the new answers page.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

A Neil Young album title is more than enough to piss me off. My drunken downstairs neighbour drags this and Harvest out when he has had too many and plays them incessantly.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder if Glyn's ~~goats~~ friends will support him.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

From the poll:

Imogen 21%
Lisa 44%
Mikey 15%
Nikki 21%

Imogen's percentage has fallen away to be level with Nikki.

Guess it's Lisa week.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

the reason this is a good title for the thread is that the show seems to be at an impasse. unless something exciting happens tonight i don't see how it can remain interesting.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck. Just missed the early 8pm edition of BB, can anyone give an update?

― Affectian (Affectian), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

i missed it too.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

Nothing much, they had a catwalk task, Pete doesn't fancy any of the girls in the house, Mikey would only consider Aisleyne out of all the girls, Glynn won't shag Nikki because he'd be scared of breaking her, no one wants to shag Glynn because he's just a kid and Lea and Aisleyne still fancy Pete. And Nikki, rightfully, hates Bono.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, have we been lied to or something. This is all yesterdays stuff.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

we've been lied to. nothing exciting is happening. mrs fiendish thinks the two-show thing is some watershed-warping weirdness so both gordon ramsay and the housemates can swear a lot.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

on the Guardian TV guide:

8:30 - First of two visits to the compound to catch up with the housemates — who could be in for a surprise later in the evening

9:30 - The second visit to the house, where the group are unaware of the surprise that could be awaiting them

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

i'm really pissed off now

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm glad someone has turned around the "NOWHERE" sign so that it now points towards the house. I've been itching for someone to do that since day one.

Imogen looked fine on the catwalk.

― David Orton (scarlet), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

i've never heard this word "oilies" before. I don't like it!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

The watershed thing occured to me as well.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

they've obviously pulled the "surprise" at short notice for some reason, because all the advance listings mentioned it.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

"whatever tickles your pickle" then nikki giving that crazy cheeky-nan look to Imogen - thats up there in the top 10 best moments of the series

Hmm, it seems no-one is voting for anyone else *but* Lisa.

You know, they'll all be crying Farewells on Friday.

I hope Lisa throws another beaker of water in Susie's face, and that it becomes a weekly tradition.

what's mikey up to with imogen then?

glen has terrible, terrible, and weird ideas about women.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 22 June 2006 09:08 (nineteen years ago)

mikey and imogen are a bit touchy feeley, i don't know if anything is going to happen though.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 22 June 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

i can't watch her at all, it's embarrassing. i've pretty much given up on BB this year - nobody is remotely likeable. a real shame, i've enjoyed every other series (except 4, which i totally missed). i just don't enjoy watching the show when i don't actually like ANY of them.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

better than last year.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

nah, last year was ok. not the best, not the worst, but the LOLs far outweighed the GNNNGHs. this year's is far more annoying than entertaining to me.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

this whole marching task thing going on is teh dullest

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

i thnk it's much better. last year was pretty awful apart from the craig/anthony saga which was incredible. having said that the show has reached an impasse and i'm not sure if it's because of the format becoming overfamiliar or the people on the show. i still watch it every night though.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

ashlene keeps saying "off the shizzle". is that even a phrase? "off the hizzle" yes. but "off the shit"? what?

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

fo' shizzle

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

My intense and burning hatred of Nikki unfortunately overwhelms any entertainment factor she brings to the show. Obv it would be boring telly if all the housemates were likeable and got on, but she's just too much for me.

I'd rather Grace was still in doing her scheming and bitching, for example.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

Poo OTM. i surely don't want them ALL to be nice and everybody to get along. but a couple of people with a couple of likeable traits would go a long way.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 22 June 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

aw, that's sweet of you.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

unless RJG had my eviction number on speed dial, obv.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

The chants of "Get kit out!" might confuse Lea into flashing her baps.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 22 June 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

Nikki and Lea are getting all upset/uptight because Pete has made friends with Aisleyne, even to the point of showing her his scars (which he declined to show Nikki, apparently).

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH CHANTS.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

what kind of scars?

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

I wish Pete would just get a bit more ballsy with Lea and say something like "Look, you're not my mum, you're not my best mate, I like you and all, but I need some space sometimes so chill the fuck out." He should have done exactly the same thing with Lisa a couple of weeks ago too.

Of course, I'd be exactly behaving the exact same way, I'm sure.

― dave q (listerine), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

hahahah. "majtourettes". hahahahah! pete to win.

for the first time ever tonight, i felt some sympathy/liking for nikki (the bit when she was in the diary room talking about how much she liked being a majorette). but it won't last.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

All I felt for Nikki was PURE UNBRIDLED HATRED. Aisleyne's impression was spot on.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne comfortably topped this week's DigitalSpy favourite housemate poll.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 23 June 2006 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think Aisleyne is probably just as scheming as anyone else in there, but is smart enough not to show it (much). I remember when she was having that conversation with Sezer about him being a bully when she first got in the house thinking that she could turn out to be some kind of evil genius.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 23 June 2006 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

I believe it is obligatory when he is mentioned to tell the "When does Saddam Hussein have his breakfast?" gag.

There are Christians in Iran, you know!

i guess so but not many. what i was implying though is that he's clearly not iranian (even if he had been born in Iran [i'm not sure, i doubt it?]) but quite typically liverpool+catholic in more ways than he is iranian.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 June 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

or what i actually meant was that i hadn't really considered the christian from iran thing & it's worth thinking about but it seems less important than his liverpoolness.

i think they were maybe planning to do this midweek, they should have done it earlier at any rate. this new house & garden looks very close to the old one though, they will know it's there, surely?

only if the new lot or the non-evictee go(es) into the garden and shout which should be forbidden

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

So will the person going into the second house think they're being evicted until the last minute? And is it theoretically possible for one of these five new people to actually win Big Brother? Will this series ever end, or are they just going to keep shovelling more people in there? It's all very convoluted.

I read somewhere (i can't remember where) that the 2nd house housemates didn't know what had happened in the first house. Is that right? Where have they been then? Not in the second house the whole time? And will the 2nd house have a garden? It'll be a nightmare without one surely?

I'm confused.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Saturday, 24 June 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

They will be introduced one at a time into the second house on Friday night just like the normal house. They apparently have no idea whats going on, as they've been in hiding (Beach trip to Portugal, perhaps?), though how long they've been away I don't know. The second house does have a garden, which makes me wonder how they're going to deal with the noise issue. Also, they share the same Diary Room, and I've seen housemates listening in on whats happening in there, so I reckon that might be difficult as well.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Saturday, 24 June 2006 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

I thought, in past series at least, they'd always made an effort to make sure the Diary Room was properly soundproofed - I remember in one series, Big Brother assuring the housemates that anything in there couldn't be heard outside.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Saturday, 24 June 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

just namechecking, basically, derrida or barthes isn't v funny
-- RJG (RJ...), June 23rd, 2006.

the derrida ref was apropos. the barthes one was just funny, partly because his imitation of barthes was actually of roland rat.

two key brand moments this week:

-advertising the show as involving refeences to "ballbags, dinkles, and proust"
-last night's extraordinary bit with lea talking about his drug habit

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Saturday, 24 June 2006 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe they can't actually hear, but they've been showing a lot of shots of Richard and others with their ears pressed up against the door.

I think the real problem would come when one of the five decides to sit in the Diary Room for 40 minutes, and the main housemates are stuck waiting for ages.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Saturday, 24 June 2006 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

maybe the five will be:-

Hahahah! No. My friend knew her in an entirely non-kinky context. They lived in the same hostel for a few months, that's all. Where she was known as "Chlamydia Grace", as she was believed to have been responsible for a rather large outbreak of it there.

Ew. Suppose she had to catch it from some schmuck, though. Girls in this age and class group often think it couldn't be 'them' but also think that condoms are invasive. AND A COCK ISN'T?

Someone on the Big Brother Google Group has used the www.1837online.com facility and electoral register to uncover that Lea is really called "Lisa Michelle Colton" (presumably called herself Lea here to distinguish herself from the other Lisa) and *really is* 35 years old (she was born on 14/9/70)

Another interesting discovery, is that Aisleyne was born as "Aisling" and only had one of her two surnames then.... she must have changed it sometime.

Didn't Lea end up giving away her age when she was talking about fancying Pete, and said something like "What am I doing, I'm forty ffs"? I'm sure I remember something like that.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Sunday, 25 June 2006 03:57 (nineteen years ago)

There was certainly one episode in which she gave her age as 35 and 37 at two different moments.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Sunday, 25 June 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

i'll be voting for Pete to move to the other house. Partly in the hope that he'll find someone he can talk to among the 5 new HMs (ha fat chance, they'll all be psychotic wannabe TV presenters and bitchy models too, right?) but mainly because it'll be great to see one or more of Lea/Nikki/Ashling implode when Pete is suddenly taken from them.

― zebedee (zebedee), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

This second house thing is all very confusing - can someone elaborate?

I'm assuming it's like a cross between the Bedsit in 2004 and the Secret Garden in 2005, right? When the evictee goes into the second house? Do they get back into the main house at the end of it? How many housemates go in?

Worst case scenario for anyone in the 2nd house = Lea goes in, and does her uber-clingy thing on all and sundry.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

I assume nominations are going ahead as usual, so it won't be Pete. If it was, and the other housemates thought he'd been properly evicted, it would lead to much confusion which might be fun.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

She may have made discrepancies regarding her age, but there is no doubt in the fact that her real age is 35.

Her mother's name was given in the paper as Doreen Colton, so all one needs to do is look up a "Lea Colton" (Assumedly Lea's maiden name) in the year she was supposedly born in.... there is a "Lisa Michelle Colton" born in September 1970, in the Northampton area, with the mother's maiden name given as "Whyler". In order to prove this is Lea, you would have to search through the marriage records to see if anyone called Doreen Whyler married a Colton, and there is.... in the Northampton area.

Furthermore the very same "Lisa Colton" married a Mr. Walker in 1995 (NB. Lea's surname is Walker) and her son was born the same year, making him the same age as Lea's son. Face it, it's her. Lea really is 35. Its hard to believe it but she is.

― JTS (JTS), Sunday, 25 June 2006 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

I assume nominations are going ahead as usual, so it won't be Pete
Not necessarily. BB could simply announce that noms cancelled this week and lead the housemates to believe they're all up for eviction.

However, it seems the HMs have pretty much rumbled what's about to happen anyway:

Oh, and the other day, Dermot was prowling round the new house saying "no-one! No Pete! No Richard! " etc, then chatted to Maggot, then finished by saying "No Vicky"..

Hmm. Vicky? (He could have said Nikki, but hmm..)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 08:43 (nineteen years ago)

Ash and Imo got tiddly on cider (must be good stuff that - one sip and you're zoinked) and had a mini bitch about Nikki and cackled their way through a pub quiz (prize: erm, marshmallows??)(surprise winners: Lea & Susie aka "Beauty & Brains", arf).
Susie continued to be snooty and wants some "TV work" to follow her time on BB. Zzzz.
Lea went on to Pete about him 'changing' in her mentalist fashion - and Pete snapped! "I've had enough of this", he said and chucked his beaker into the pool. They sat on the Nowhere bench and Pete tried to talk sense into her, to not much avail. While Pete was responding to something she said, she went "am I allowed to speak now?" for no reason. That would be my cue to strangle the life out of her, but pete went for the hug instead.
Glyn had a mini task - one hour to discover the meaning of life. The HMs had a disscusion about it and the general consunsus was that the answer was "procreation", but Richard thought it might be something more than that. That's where he went off on his "have you noticed how poor people are all happy" thing. I think he was trying to say materialism != happiness, but Mikey took it to mean that "tramps are all happy and dancing about" and took offence ("only 'cos they're mashed!" he reasoned).

What a complete disappointment. Aislene is becoming less likeable each day and Susie has proven herself to be more worthless than Imogen, what a WASTE to be choosing between those two to go in this new house! Idiot housemates for not nominating Nikki at least. The ideal would have been Nikki vs Glyn vs Pete for mega-entertainment comedy value.

The current situation will be on a par with the dreariness of Cameron going to Africa (BB3? 4?). I expect the BB bosses are gutted too - this is one of those situations where they really should have fixed it so someone with a bit of watchability got nommed.

Remember the dizzy heights of Emma and 'no naked jacuzzi' lady in the bedsit? A Nikki or a Glyn being evicted then not evicted then RETURNING TO AVENGE could so easily have been up there. I'm genuinely annoyed about this.

I'm assuming there won't be any 'screen' in there, but never mind.

Suzie would act more like a concierge to the new people. And so will be very dull indeed. And will probably not meet any of the new housemates. For she willbe out next week oh yeah. Unless she's up against Richard.

(from http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=18424)

Former Big Brother contestant Sam has been dropping hints that she may be going back inside the Big Brother house.

Speaking during an interview with New! Magazine Sam said: “I may have been evicted but you haven’t seen the last of me on this year’s Big Brother.

“I can’t say too much- but the others won’t know what’s hit them.”

What does this mean, will Sam end up spying on the other housemates like Michelle and Emma did a couple of series back? Or is she just deluding herself?

We will have to wait and see…

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe I haven't watched enough, but I'm confused why Lea et al keep going on about Aisleyne wanting to be black. As far I can see this is based on her saying "innit" a lot, or something. Is this a provincial vs London thing, where "d'you know what I mean, innit" is seen as a "black" thing to say instead of something any Londoner might say? Or have I missed something?

A few tabloids have front page "scandals" about Lea & Pete today - I think it was the Star claims Lea's an alkie on a bottle of vodka a day, and they claim to reveal her real age. Is she on the wagon on the show? I haven't actually read the stories just saw the headlines when I was buying my lunch.

They did this "sabotage the task secretly" thing before - was it something Makosi had to do? It was better then anyway, it must have been so obvious Imogen was cocking it up on purpose.

Nikki's refusal to do tasks should make everyone hate her (she was at it the last time I watched too, I'm assuming it's her thing). Why don't they?

Aisleyne was being totally pathetic tonight. My affection for her has drained away like milk through a welsh lady's fingers.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

Imogen couldn't join the revolt as her mission meant that she had to be seen to want to pass the task. If the uvvers thought otherwise at any time she would have failed.

Aisleyne's strop was only outdone by Lea's snot-sniffing blub-fest.

I quite liked Imogen today.

― David Orton (scarlet), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

I actually liked Aisleyne more today because of her strop. Actually, it was mostly that bit on BBBM where she was slagging off Lea to her face about the Glyn thing. i also liked Imogen today.

Richard is continuously going down in my estimations, though I'm not sure how much further there is to go.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Thursday, 29 June 2006 00:16 (nineteen years ago)

Richard hate is reaching bafflingly high levels around here. He's really not that bad at all, slightly irritating at worst, has everyone been hanging out with Sezer or something?

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Thursday, 29 June 2006 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

oh no i really dislike richard. i haven't really hated any of the others, even sezer and grace.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 29 June 2006 00:25 (nineteen years ago)

originally, i thought he was alright for speaking out agains folk like sezer, though i think he could have chosen better targets than imogen early on. He has since become a real ego-maniac, and I can't stand his term "the plastics". He's lost perspective.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Thursday, 29 June 2006 00:35 (nineteen years ago)

he's horribly sarcastic. i, too, hate this term "the plastics". hellova ironic coming from him, plus whenever he says it he acts like he's in collusion with the viewer "oh and we don't like plastics do we?" kinda thing. he's doing the same kind of thing with his diary room entries becoming more and more like performances - the whole "oh you're gonna be surprised at this" thing before nominating aisleyne was pathetic. i'm not surprised, i always knew you were a prick.

wasn't there some sort of sandwich with salt and vinegar crisps on it involved as well?

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Thursday, 29 June 2006 22:42 (nineteen years ago)

Glyn bigging up black pudding and talking about how when he's at home all his family are always really happy when they eat it was my favourite BB moment so far this year.

But then I realised I was missing the muppets on ITV2, so I turned over, and that was better than any bits of BB from this or any other year.

Not the same then?

Watched some of the live feed last night. General rowdiness / karaoke involving Aisleyne and Imogen on the mikes, and looking pretty darn good. Pete, Lea, Richard backing vocals. What were they singing? Any Good? Who knows, they cut the sound.

Thesedays, if a housemate sings a song for longer than twenty seconds or so, it seems to be excised for copyright reasons.

Oh, and later on they waxed Mikey's nipples.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 08:07 (nineteen years ago)

how are they going to live broadcast two houses at the same time anyway, i suppose it should remove a lot of boring non activity in some way but what if there's 'kicking off' in both houses at the same time?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 08:18 (nineteen years ago)

and mikey does look like Ashcroft you're right.

Lisa is apparently attending my mates work place today, not sure why.

I have requested an autograph.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

What if it's like the video for "Walk This Way" and they bust through into the other house? Preferably using that cunt Mikey as a lanky battering ram?

― Goo-night, Swede Hurt (noodle vague), Friday, 30 June 2006 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

They already broadcast live feeds from one 'part' of the house or another.

Guess they'll switch when things get (too) interesting.

mikey's been pretty good recently (i guess it's all relative). i don't think he looks like ashcroft at all. ashcroft is quite skeletal. someone on BBBM compared him to:

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 08:23 (nineteen years ago)

He's way too tall to be an Ashcroft.

you can look like someone without being the same height as them, or even knowing what height they are. i don't think he looks like him but i guess ashcroft is one of the reasons those guys look like that.

― zebedee (zebedee), Friday, 30 June 2006 10:09 (nineteen years ago)

Presumably, these songs have been paid for...

The song choices are:

Dancing Queen - Abba
Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
I Got You Babe - Sonny and Cher
Delilah - Tom Jones
Livin' La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

Either Big Bro's released a bag of screeching cats into the living room, or the housemates have started their karaoke singing. You be the judge.
Susie and Imogen were up first with Dancing Queen. Imogen gave it her usual shimmy and the song obviously touched a chord with Susie, who belted out the words without having to read them off the screen. The pair nailed the prerequisite Abba move of singing to each other. But who was the blonde one?

After a quick vol-au-vent break, next up were Mikey and Aisleyne. As the scouser bounced around, Aisleyne hit the high notes, well tried to, before breaking into her own freestyle rhymes.
But what was eating Nikki, who looked like she was about to burst into tears? Surely their singing wasn't that bad.
But Ais wasn't finished, grabbing the mic she bust out her inner beat box in the quiet bit.
Richard and Lea then teamed up for a note-imperfect chorus of I Got You Babe. And as the last note was strangled, Nikki blubbed, rushing to give them a big hug.
Pete and Nikki then teamed up for Livin' La Vida Loca. With moves to make Ricky Martin wince, they tapped into their Latin, um, bits.
Last came Glyn with his pelvis-packed version of Welshman Tom Jones's Delilah. It was eerie. Like big Tom himself had walked into the room. It was knicker-throwing mayhem. Except it wasn't. We were just being polite. Sorry.

With no more songs to go round, the housemates returned to their finger buffet and daydreamed pop star dreams.

Hmm, apart from I did see Ais and Imo singing together, but I guess they are off the music...

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 11:31 (nineteen years ago)

but i'd rather have seen someone like Glyn or Nikki go in

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 11:32 (nineteen years ago)

Right, here goes for Clarity...

Big Brother never makes things easy, so the evicted housemate will be facing some tough decisions in the coming weeks. Either Aisleyne or Susie will be forced to evict one of their new housemates, face to face.

But, what neither the evicted housemate or the five new housemates realise is that whoever is chosen for eviction won't be sent back out in to the outside world. Oh no, they will leave the secret house and go straight in to the main Big Brother house where there will become a full-time housemate. Sneaky or what!

Ultimately, Aisleyne or Susie actually return to the main House, they will have to then live with the people they decided to bin.

The Secret House has it's own living room, kitchen, shower room, bedroom and garden. The bedroom has four single beds and one double bed, which means there is just enough room for all six housemates - cosy.

The Diary Room is the only connecting room between the two Houses so the new housemates will secretly share that sexy gold chair with the original housemates.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm bored with this Secret House thing even before it starts

― ¡Vamos a matar, Dadaismus! (Dada), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:04 (nineteen years ago)

that's a good sign

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:04 (nineteen years ago)

The Diary Room is the only connecting room between the two Houses so the new housemates will secretly share that sexy gold chair with the original housemates.

right, but when Aisleyne or Susie go in tonight she'll tell her new housemates about the old house. and then the evicted member from the second house who goes into the old house next week will then tell the old houseamtes about the secret house. it's not going to be much of a secret for long is it.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

they can tell them to keep things "a secret" (something you don't tell people)

hardly think the old house is going to be "a secret", though, is it?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

The People she decided to bin

So, she'll evict 4 out of five? So her 'best pal' in house 2 will be left behind then?

Blimeyoreilly.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

i hope endemol know what they're doing here, it sounds like it could go tits up very easily. especially if they're relying on housemates to keep these sort of secrets for long periods of time.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

i mean i know i would be 'bursting' to tell!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

but not 'bursting' to be automatically evicted!

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

This is the first thing on BB this year I'm actually looking forward to. Just to see the reactions of the evictees when they realise they're not evicted. Ste is right, it could all go wrong, but that might be quite good anyway. Should keep me interested for another day or so.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:29 (nineteen years ago)

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

hardly think the old house is going to be "a secret", though, is it?

this is what puzzles me. my co-workers think the new housemates will have a big grand entrance and will be under the impression they are the only house, that tonite is the start of the series.

i mean, if you can convince people they're in space/under threat of iraqi missiles, then maybe...

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

The twist = EVIL.

For the benefit of anyone who has understandably become bored of BB and stopped watching - Aisleyne now has sole control of who is evicted from the new house. She has to nominate four housemates to be evicted, one by one, but has to keep this secret.

The twist = Aisleyne doesn't know that the people she evicts will move into the old house. When she goes back in, the chickens come home to roost. And mercifully, none of the housemates is a model with a boob job.

This is fantastic. I suddenly care about Big Brother again.

Grimly, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Extremely well-respected and I think her connections run to the whole Cure/Depeche sector - put it this way, ask Ned if he knows who Anne Stephenson is, plus WHY, and he'll flip..

― suzy (suzy), Saturday, 1 July 2006 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

heheh: i read this little nugget in a copy of "new" magazine i, umm, found somewhere. actually, when i say "read" ... i saw this little picture of marc and the mambas and ~~nearly fell in the toilet~~ ... umm, anyway.

yes: it mentioned she'd worked with the cure too. a quick google suggests she's also worked with david ball from soft cell's wife. and roxy music. and siouxsie. and - ew, christ - texas.

rock on, pete's mum.

apparently daddy fantastic have been offered a record deal. this is appalling news. much as i like pete, his band honk.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

Argh I am so jaded I know which managers were hiring her, based on that list - and I know some of the managers still - so she has to be one of those music people who always sat on the ashtray roundabout in Maida Vale with their cider and fags in the early '80s because that's where the combined exodus of Basildon and Crawley pissed away their spare time.

That Texas link is therefore down to the songwriter one who's not Shar, who was the guy in Altered Images. To the ashtray, McIlhone!

ok this is completely brilliant. pete falling in the pool (not that funny) followed by nikki going to have a heart to heart with him in the shower. it's brilliant the way she opens the shower door, apologises, swears, then completely fogets and opens it again. the highlight of the clip comes at the end when she tells him "she doesn't want to make him feel delusionalized".

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 2 July 2006 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

Jayne has gone into the main house already.

I take it they will randomly be bundling people over to the house, and the evictions will be from the main house each week as normal.

Oh, and according to the famous "only newpaper that'll put Big Brother Stories on it's front page nowadays" had it that Aisleyne had worked out that her evicted housemates were going over to the big house, and that she's basically drawing straws to choose subsequent ones.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Monday, 3 July 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

.. and here was me thinking Johnathan was OK....

Jonathan however, had other ideas. "I would put them in the army," he announced. "If they were physically fit enough, it's a great idea. Cos it teaches you discipline and a lot about yourself. It would reduce the level of homelessness on the street, you're employed for your country, and you are giving them the opportunity to better yourself, get qualifications."

"Who's to say they wouldn't enjoy it?" he added. Finding his argument the more compelling, Aisleyne expanded on it: "I think that's what they should do with young boys who have nothing to do but go to crime."

What would they do?! Has anyone ever been to a PA by an ex-BB star? It baffles me what someone as reviled as Grace would do, would she just stand there soaking up the jeering and hate, using it to fuel her evil powers? Surely people would be throwing all manner of abuse and hard items at her too.

― Affectian (Affectian), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

I am officially bored of BB now; I haven't seen any of it since Friday because of Human Contact, and haven't even been peking at the thread (much) for catch-up. Are the new housemates making it more exciting or more tiresome?

> i'm baffled as to how ch4 could have messed up this second house thing so spectacularly.

they hadn't figured on Jayne's Big Mouth. which has been responsible for lea realising there were people next door and for next door realising that she'd been promoted rather than evicted.

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:38 (nineteen years ago)

so the main house knows about the secret house now?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:44 (nineteen years ago)

Lea heard them all laughing days ago and sussed it out, but nothing has been confirmed to her. Jayne isn't allowed to say anything about where she's come from. I guess they'll figure things out for sure when the other three and then Aisleyne walk in.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:48 (nineteen years ago)

― David Orton (scarlet), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:50 (nineteen years ago)

lea had heard people talking whilst she was in the diary room and wondered aloud if it was new housemates. a day later jayne turned up. so i'm guessing yes.

didn't jayne also mention 'some kind of secret house next door' (or words to that effect) in a jokey way when quizzed as to where she'd been and how she'd got there? (i could be wrong, was reading at the same time).

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:50 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne NOT stupid: it would be easy to suss Big Brother twist just by using loud woman as the canary in the mineshaft. She stays in main the house, she's heard by the 'neighbours'. If she'd been properly evicted, the silence would have told Aisleyne all she needed to know.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:51 (nineteen years ago)

If Mikey can look like Inspector Gadget, Jayne can look like Rik Mayall. She makes as much noise as yer average Bottom concert.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:52 (nineteen years ago)

No, I don't think she does!

I had wondered how long it took after Jayne went for Aisleyne to work it out.

In fact, Ais said to Jayne "You'll be going next door" before she went.

Everything after that just confirmed her suspicions.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:58 (nineteen years ago)

PLANK aisleyne relies on misuse of PATOIS for effect of 'sussedness'.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 08:00 (nineteen years ago)

Now, she's pondering "Do I send over people I like so they get a chance to win Big Brother? Or keep them with me so I have a better time here?"

I think she's doing as well as she can there. She's gone up in my estimation this week.

Oh, and Jennie looks very cute asleep.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 08:01 (nineteen years ago)

that all happened a while ago, didn't it? aisleyne pondering and jennie sleeping

leroy said, when aisleyne had to evict someone, "evict them to where, though?" and the student guy guessed something about it, too, so it's not like just aisleyne worked it all out because she's such a big brain

Is that new loud woman really worse than Nikki?

Nikki is entertaining. I took an instant instinctive dislike to Jayne, however. It was as though I had murdered her in a previous life. I found myself saying "you disgust me" at the screen several times, and that was even before I heard her belch.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

Jayne is horrible. But Nikki is kind of hateable too, I dunno, I guess with Nikki sometimes it's just disbelief, when Jayne came in and she just kept fucking screaming, and the way her stupidity is so real but also kind of affected. Very odd person.

That incident with the melon was just the tip of the iceberg for Spiral, so much for him being a nice guy etc as per his video intro, he didn't even argue with the other bloke, just kept shouting "it's only a shitty fucking melon, are you going to have a go at me over that". Worst Irish contestant ever and that's saying something.

As if there wasn't enough people in the House, without Big Brother doubling the numbers!
But that's what happens in today's mini task, as housemates in the main House will be asked to invent imaginary friends.
Each of the gang will be told to imagine their new companion, then present them on a blackboard to Big Brother.
Housemates will be called with their imaginary friends to the Diary Room and will be required to talk with their new best buds to BB. Or maybe that will be an imaginary Big Brother who'll do the talking.
Housemates will then be supplied with an imaginary tea party in the garden, where they must sit next to their imaginary friends.

With the way this lots minds work, we don't imagine they'll have any problems with this task at all.

Meanwhile, the original housemates are set to enjoy a tea party with their imaginary friends. If they successfully complete the task Big Brother will supply them with a real tea party. But what they don't know is that two real 'friends' will be gate crashing the party.
From tonight there will only be two housemates living in the House Next Door with Aisleyne. She is aware that at some point she will return to the Big Brother House, but she doesn't know when this will happen (or how).

They are failing tasks on purpose, so should be given a task that could find them up for nomination if they fail.

x-post: ! ... i thought she was putting spoiral in first?

i'm a bit annoyed at mike getting in so easily. he's borderline okay, but his arrogance once he'd "worked out" what was happening pissed me off. i mean, you're a fourth-rate backup BB contestant ... and you're acting like you've got a god-given right to be there.

still, according to "big brain" last night he's a serious manipulator, and will cause an absolute firestorm in the house. 'rah.

Noodle Vague speaks my mind!

Once again I missed it last night, bar a few minutes of Aisleyne in the diary room fretting about what to do about evicting. Not sure what she's playing at really. Isn't it obvious to her that the public can see she knows what's going to happen to the ones she evicts and therefore won't hold it against her for evicting people she likes as they aren't actually being chucked out?

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 08:52 (nineteen years ago)

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not using horrible to mean morally bad, really. Or I'm not making a judgement on intent. I just mean alternating bitching/manipulating/neediness. Which applies to most of the housemates, obviously. I suppose I don't want to believe that's what people are like in general. I liked BB when it was "bland" and huggy. It was like a slightly boring sociology experiment, ambient TV. Fair enough, I'm not part of its target audience. I just think, in this hippy way, that it's a tiny part of something that's rotten in our social thinking.

Pardon me for pondering, but does Aisleyne actually resemble a human being more closely than any of the others?

Right, basically Aisleyne has to choose one to go with her tonight into the main rooms, leaving one behind to get evicted/davina'd.

Basically, as it stood, a reward for the two who went over last night for being 'brave' enough to risk the 'eviction'...

I think there's a happy-ish medium beween the good old, boring days and the dog-eat-dog years - and I think this series has managed to achieve that occasionally. BB7 has had long, fallow periods where nowt much was going on, just the odd bit of low-level bitching. What's changed since the early days is that the HMs are now all wannabe models/presenters/whateva, rather than just being up for a social experiment.
Now everyone is a Nasty Nick or a Nichola, and no-one's Anna.

Ash has the hots for Spiral, in fact I'd go so far as to say that she thinks he's off the shizzle. if she can choose who goes into the big Big Brother house, it'll be him.

God, it just goes on and on this series. Why don't they just do BB constantly, all year round, so when someone is evicted, a new housemate goes in? Pete will be locked up in there for years, decades.

Lea is nasty.

the main house still doesn't know aisleyne's coming back and her main nemesis (lea) is up for eviction

jayne & michael don't like aisleyne and will have made friends in the house by tonight

plus, saw davina on bblb, earlier, and she said that when the house next door heard "jayne" it was actually lea so it is all guesses and not, like, a big fuck up but yeah how hard would it have been to separate/insulate the houses from each other better

Aisleyne drove me to distraction from Friday night on. The switch from her pathetic sulk at being evicted to her feigned wide-eyed "ooh what's going on, I don't understand" when she sussed she was staying in was nauseating. She kept that wide-eyed schtick up for most of the weekend, with plenty of "I'm the happiest person in the world", like a child sucking up to an auntie she thinks she'll get money off. That desperation to cling on to her 15 seconds, plus the laughable idea that she was voted into the other house as a reward by her loving public, was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

Aisleyne was v.dim for thinking that "I'm only chose you because you said you didn't mind going" wasn't just about the worst thing to say to him. Lesson he thinks he has to learn = nice guys finish last/you're a sucker. That's the kind of thing that eats away at you.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 07:35 (nineteen years ago)

what is aisleyne's game here? why, if she liked them, didn't she put spoiral and jonathan through instead of student and northern girl?

i loathe her anyway, more than ever for her shtick last night, and while maybe one well chosen extra housemate would have been a good idea, i think four is too many, at this stage.

I think the fact that we have seen genuinely upset people makes Aisleyne's impression of one all the more pitiful.

she's a meany. she's mean to people and talks tough. but when, as part of the extremely predictable mechanics of the gameshow she's participating in, she has to -- oh noes -- say goodbye to someone she's known for all of four days, she gets an attack of the vapours. to me it adds up to pandering.

Who has she been mean to? Lea, who desperately needed to be called out on victim mentality? Nikki and her tedious "we were just... experimenting" I-am-so-interesting reminiscences? As for "talks tought", is this another reference to her lack of the Queen's English?

to me it adds up to pandering.

I think a good rule of thumb when watching this show, every year, is to assume that after the first couple of weeks of living on rice and with lunatics, every one in there has lost any ability to have a "gameplan", or try to play the audience, etc.

― Toad Roundgrin (noodle vague), Thursday, 6 July 2006 07:57 (nineteen years ago)

it's her decision to use language in the way she does and in a way that she knows will -- not mystify, but seem more 'real' to the viewing public and her fellow housemates. it's actually nikki who called her on that. all the 'you'd best know yourself' stuff is ok from london schoolgirls but kind of rings false from a self-described hampstead girl in her late twenties. i think that's why she 'called out' nikki, though actually i can't remember what this calling out consisted of. iirc it invovled aisleyne doing big mock-yawns. like yeah, merked, nikki.

So noodle... Aisleyne is scum because they are all scum, because anyone who goes on the show deserves all they get? Is that the argument?

cross-post: Even before we get onto the idea of it being "okay" or not for anyone to talk in any way, do you honestly think that the way Aisleyne talks is not the way she talks outside the house, and instead a conscious choice designed to further her cunning schemez?

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:03 (nineteen years ago)

Just checked, they retail at around $210 (what, £140 or thereabouts?) so check out how much 'extra' a personal call from Bonnier and a signed photo and the thought of ther nicks usedtobeinthur adds to the value.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:05 (nineteen years ago)

Plus the fact that in fact, the way in which she talks has in fact resulted in her being pilloried by luminaries such as Nikki, Grace and Lea, Russell Brand, and some shit comedienne on BBLB yesterday, always with this weird reactionary "she thinks she's a black girl!" tone, which would be mildly less baffling if Aisleyne spoke in a full-on patois, but she doesn't - she says "you get me?" every now and again and that's about it.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:06 (nineteen years ago)

No, my argument is that she's been manipulative and dishonest and, to a point, a bully. How prim of me. "Scum" was used purely for rhetorical/comic effect.

I understand you're trying to argue that Aisleyne is disliked because she's working class or over-fond of saying "off the shizzle" but that's not the case: she's disliked (by me at any rate) because she does dislikeable things.

― Toad Roundgrin (noodle vague), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:08 (nineteen years ago)

No, my argument is that she's been manipulative and dishonest and, to a point, a bully.

For example?

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

it's more complex than that, isn't it? it's absolutely okay for people to talk that way; but all the same, ainsleyne like most people has a choice of different lingusitic repertoires she can choose from depending on her audience(s). no linguistic repertoire is entirely 'natural'.

and the one she's choosing may well be the one she uses on the outside (not betting on it, actually), but that's not the point. (god knows if nikki is quite so extreme outside.)

the point is she chose a rude gal persona, even if it is how she usually speaks, and it comes over as arrogant and shitty cos she uses it to sound tough, ie intimidate people.

no-one has explained what 'off the shizzle' means.

so last night i wasn't sharing her pain any more than if it were lea bawling away.

Well I could just repeat what Enrique's said the last couple of posts but you seem to be ignoring him too so this isn't really a debate to be won. And in the interests of full disclosure I'll admit that some of those dislikeable things involve craving minor celebrity/notoriety. It's an ambition I don't understand at all. But that's my problem.

― Toad Roundgrin (noodle vague), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

plus the laughable idea that she was voted into the other house as a reward by her loving public

how is that not what happened?

― Toad Roundgrin (noodle vague), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:14 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really understand how anyone could enjoy watching Big Brother if they find anyone with an ambition for celebrity annoying to watch.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:21 (nineteen years ago)

I've learnt from my limited dealings with ILX to date that ignoring Enrique is in general a good policy, but had he said anything at all convincing I would engage with it.

Having said that, if her language/diction isn't the reason you dislike her, I don't know why you'd refer to Enrique's posts, since it's clearly the reason he dislikes her: the point is she chose a rude gal persona, even if it is how she usually speaks. She could choose to speak properly, couldn't she? She's just doing it to try to seem cool! Young people these days, with the hipping and the hopping, they don't. Know what the. Jazz. Is.

and it comes over as arrogant and shitty cos she uses it to sound tough, ie intimidate people.

Again, any examples of this would be great. As you've already basically said, her fight with Nikki did not actually consist of her being intimidating: she just yawned heavily and muttered "boring" while Nikki was telling a story about a not-threesome very slowwwly and deliberately, which is fair enough. The "know yourself" remark came only after Nikki had stormed off and called her a bitch as a result.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:22 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know why you'd refer to Enrique's posts, since it's clearly the reason he dislikes her: "the point is she chose a rude gal persona, even if it is how she usually speaks."

no, actually i dislike her for her hauteur. she thinks she's it.

She could choose to speak properly, couldn't she? She's just doing it to try to seem cool! Young people these days, with the hipping and the hopping, they don't. Know what the. Jazz. Is.

well, 'properly' is your word isn't it? i don't think i've put it in those terms. she could go in for less of the 'off the shizzle' bullshit though, yeah. in the same way suzie couldn't stop with the ridiculous posh-isms.

I LIKE AISLEYENE.

That said, I've only seen this once in the last two weeks, and she was asleep all the way through. In fact, I'm basing this solely on her reactions when Sam and Grace got evicted. She seemed the only person to give a toss at Sam going (and I didn't think this was false) or to stand up to Grace about her behaviour. I don't imagine I'd be able to live with Nicki or Lea without having a go at them at some point.

She can't last long when she comes back to the house, though, can she? (has this already happened?) one house full of people she voted out, and one house full of people who voted her out. And I hope they bring back Jonathan. He seemed allright.

So - what happened in the end? She had to vote someone out, knowing she was voting them out? I thought she was under the impression that the people she voted out were being evicted?

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

That question didn't make any sense... I thought she thought those she voted out were leaving, rather than going into the other house. Did she realise what was going on at some point?

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 6 July 2006 08:57 (nineteen years ago)

So - what happened in the end? She had to vote someone out, knowing she was voting them out? I thought she was under the impression that the people she voted out were being evicted?

it's hard to figure out what she thought she was doing, because she seemed to figure out that the people she was 'evicting' were in fact going into the main house. but having deduced this she, for reasons of her own, 'evicted' two people she wasn't so close to, instead of jonathan (who seems a bit dull tbh) and the awful spiral, who she likes.

so in the end she had the terrible life decision to make of sho to keep in.

"I thought I was eating something," he said, referring to the last moments of his dream.
"Cherries," explained Nikki in between giggles. "Let me just show you how a cherry should be eaten."
"No," said Pete.
"Why not?" asked Nikki.

"Errr... I know how to eat a cherry," he squirmed, before suggesting they "fall asleep together".

Russell Brand had a friend of Jayne's on the phone last night and even she was finding it hard to say anything nice about her.

Jayne unsettles me a bit because I don't know if I'd intervene if I was seeing her being tortured or something. In an Abu Graib sitution, I might even join in. :-/

Thank god Aislene's time in the extra house is over. Such teeth-grindingly bad TV (Wednesday's live thing was the most worthless BB live thing since the 'Cameron wins!' days). I lost track of what she was trying to do in amongst all the tears (in floods of tears because some schmuck she barely knows is going home? oh come on... there was more than a little 'must make public think i am caring lovely girl with heart of gold and mouth of guttershite' going on there). Nikki or Glyn would doubtless have made that TV gold - and it wouldn't have been too hard to arrange, all BB had to do was pull some shock ALL HOUSEMATES ARE UP FOR EVICTION THIS WEEK trick. #63 in the BB Producers Screw Up Royally list 2006.

I v much hope the housemates make it a Nikki vs Aislene battle next week with the latter to go by a landslide - she's bored my eyes for too much too long. Amazing how much she's fallen from grace, from the time when she was riling Grace when she seemed on the side of GOOD, whereas now she seems self-obsessed and brattish (and not in the 'aw bless' way that Nikki is).

Spiral reminds me of the creepy paedophile in Family Guy. And scallies in small NW towns circa 2001. And East 17. ie. He's VILE.

Pete [...] decided to pay tribute to Lea's breasts. "When we get out of here I can't wait to see your tits for real," he teased, adding: "There hasn't been a time when I haven't seen your tits and thought 'God, I'd like to put my cock in them'."

I honestly can't remember a housemate more vile and disgusting as Jayne.

What a mentalist!

Nikki has confessed that she is banned from all of her local cab companies.

The wannabe footballer's wife admitted that not only is she an unreliable customer, she also regularly clashes with taxi drivers over the temperature in the car.

Recalling one incident, she told the others, "I woke up and it was boiling! He turned the heating off and got lost. I always sit at the front so I can keep an eye on the heating situation."

Nikki then explained that she got involved in an argument with the taxi driver in question, who shouted, "I've sweated all the way from London with the heating on!"

She added, "I'm barred from all my local cab companies. They won't come and pick me up. I order them to pick me up from London and I go and get into a cheaper cab. They've come all the way to London to pick me up."

― "C" (Holey), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

That's terrific, but I don't really understand the last bit. In the past (before she was banned) she'd order local Middlesex cabs to come out to London to take her home and then she'd get into another cab instead, wasting their journey? Yes?

Actually I don't understand the heater story either.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

the only possible conclusion, after watching the jennie-jayne "argument", is that jayne is impossibly stupid

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

Am I horribly mistaken or did I hear that Spiral is joint 3rd or 4th to win BB? He's a disgusting creepy aggressive cunt, so how the..? Jayne gained a cpl of points in my book by being the only housemate to call him out for keeping everyone awake. Hate the way his voice goes all indignant and squeaky when he's arguing with someone. Even Sezer wasn't as punchable as this guy.

And what's his relationship with Mikey and Pete? I recall Mikey saying "Why hasn't this new feller come over and said hi?" after Aislene and Spiral came in, and Spiral ignored everyone and ran after Aislene to hold her hand while she was bawling away over FUCK ALL. Most decent folk would have gone over and greeted his new housemates and ignored Aislene's attention-seeking but instead this prick delivered an almighty snub to them all. Hopefully it'll be him and Aislene up for eviction this week. But probably not. It'll certainly be Jane but I'm not sure who else.

― Affectian (Affectian), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, spiral is horrible

in bed, the other night: l-r: glyn, jennie, aisleyne, spiral

spiral: "glyn, have you told jennie a secret yet? I'm going to tell aisleyne a secret"

leans over, like he's going to whisper in her ear, then tries to kiss her. she laughs and moves her head away. glyn and jennie look on. spiral does it again, "gonna tell you a secret" tries to kiss her, she laughs and moves her head away. and again

what w/ this and spiral being in bed w/ glyn and lea and asking if he could feel lea's boobs and her letting him and glyn saying "O! can I have a go??", I fear for his disgusting influence

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

hehe, Spiral's ur punchability is probably down to the simple fact that Sezer isn't there anymore. I'd love to know how the'd react to each other - they're both sleazy self-obsessed brats so they'd either create an unbreakable bond of evil or clash bigtime. I'd like to know.

It doesn't look like Spiral and Mikey have bonded at all so AGAIN, I wish for Mikey to grow some balls and do battle with the Irish scally.

I'd also like to know what Grace and Sezer are thinking watching Mikey and Imogen. £5 says they've already fucked in some pact of spite - they'd make a fine couple, leaving the two goody dullards to each other. Very much looking forward to reading the postBB coverage in HEAT about this whole love ... square (?).

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 July 2006 06:54 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, this weeks noms will be interesting.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 July 2006 06:55 (nineteen years ago)

Jayne goes from 0 to aggression in 1 second, especially whenever the name Aisleyne is mentioned. Her "put your hands up if you hate Aisleyne" will be tough to beat as the most sorry, primary school-level piece of whacked-out jealous hatred of BB history.
I would honestly love to see Jayne torn apart by mad otters.

But aaaanyway, I caught a bit of the live feed very late last night and it seems Spiral really lost his rag during a game of spin-the-bottle. he was telling Mikey it's over between him and Ais as she spurned his advances "twice! On live TV!", and Nikki gave him a look that was "disrespectful". I thought he might be pissed like everyone else, but then remembered he doesn't drink, so he must be just unhinged generally.

Glyn looked extraordinary covered in whatever that black stuff was.

Richard and Jayne are coming out of this Nikki/Aisleyene thing worst, aren't they? They're either being very conniving, or being edited to look very conniving. I'm sure the whole fish/chicken for dinner thing wasn't a mistake on his part.

"You've been flirting with me and I thought we were getting on well. So to reject me like that, people will be at home laughing at me," moaned Spiral.
Now it was Aisleyne who lost her temper, snapping: "Rejected? Yeah that's why you're in the House, because I rejected you." Then she stormed off, kissing her teeth as she went.
She left the rapper muttering to himself: "You're just a little Mickey teaser, that's all you are. You're on this earth for attention, playing games with people's heads and making a d*** out of them on TV. You're a walking tease."

This one-man conversation continued for several minutes. He rambled at full volume, even though there wasn't a soul there to hear him.

EVERY HOUSEMATE EXCEPT JAYNE UP FOR EVICTION!

Web Exclusive: Mass Nomination Shocker
Monday 10 July
Day 53, 16:03
The housemates have been dealt the harshest punishment for Jayne's persistent rule-breaking.

Every single one of them will be up for eviction this Friday... all except her.

Big Brother stunned the House when Jayne was called to the Diary Room and given a severe telling off live on the plasma screen. Big Brother cited her "talking about the outside world on numerous occasions" and told the 37-year-old: "You have let yourself down, you've let Big Brother down but most importantly you've let your fellow housemates down."

Story continues below

Only then did the House learn the significance of that final sentence as it was revealed this week's nominations had been cancelled and every housemate bar Jayne would face the public vote.

Nikki greeted Jayne at the Diary Room with a hug, but what do the other housemates think?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha – that's quite cunning of BB. Make everyone hate Jayne but with no way of getting rid of her = punishment for her and potentially great TV.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:29 (nineteen years ago)

It also prevents another eviction landslide.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Yep.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Basically, it means: -

'bye Nikki.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

well, basically it'll be Nikki vs Spiral.

I'll add the poll vote link, when they make it. (they've got a 'who next' general one going right now, Jayne is madly in the lead, with Nikki second)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

I approve of this!

Actually I was hoping a few days ago that noms would be cancelled and everyone would be up this week. Shame that Jayne's not up, but there's always next week.

― zebedee (zebedee), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

At first, Jayne seemed so-bad-it's-not-good and I just wanted her off my TV. She's been a little more restrained of late and now I'm dipping my toe in the "actually, this could cause some great entertainment, keep her in" waters, but I may live to regret that venture.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

So..this punishes her how, exactly???

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

i'm RIDICULOUSLY pissed off about this. BB is over if Nikki goes.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 10 July 2006 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

This will make them lots of nice money, I'm sure. Unfortunately, if either Aisleyene or Nikki goes, and its bound to be one of them, the programme will be much duller.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 10 July 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Aw, nominations is my favourite bit.

― chap who would dare to start Raaatpackin (chap), Monday, 10 July 2006 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

You seem to be the only person on this thread making sense re: Nikki. OTM

Surely Endemol are smarter than losing Nikki or Aisleyne Resurrection, so maybe they'll find a way to get Richard out via editing or something. BB's just starting to get good, don't kill it now!

― teh_kit has 22 friends (g-kit), Monday, 10 July 2006 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

It'll most likely be bye bye Spiral once the spin the bottle party is showm. He is fucking mad: "she'll NEVER get to kiss Spiral after this" rant rant rant. Referring to himself in the third person is just the tip of his crazy ice-berg I feel.

Otherwise, yeah, probably Nikki. Maybe Susie but I'm not sure where the GBP stand on her.

― David Orton (scarlet), Monday, 10 July 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

the indifference for susie is deafening.

― teh_kit has 22 friends (g-kit), Monday, 10 July 2006 18:11 (nineteen years ago)

Grout, stop posting that poll link - it's ruining whatever minimal suspense there is left. There hasn't been a Maxwell v Science at all this year.

I don't want Spoiral to go - there's a lot of entertainment still to be had from him. The house needs a really menko bloke in there to balance things out. Surely Susie will go purely through a) being fucking boring and b) still being the target of anger over all that wasted Kit Kat money.

Imogen in tennis gear = k-rowr.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

Also, this house is going to explode into sexual jealousy very shortly, isn't it? It's not just Spiral and Aisleyne, it's just that the number of women who want to have sex with Pete is going to reach critical mass very shortly. And Pete's face on seeing Mikey and Nikki together was murder. I sort of want him to get it on with Jennie though, she's by far the most likeable girl this year.

But by miles the best thing to happen in this BB is for Mikey and Imogen to get it together. And then watch in horror as Grace is let back into the house.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

just for being boring

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

Watching Spiral humiliate himself to an INCREDIBLE degree just then was awesome TV. Quickest jump from 'ugh unlikeable wanker' to 'DESPICABLE RAPIST-IN-TRAINING' since .. well, Sezer. BB2006 = The (worldwide) rapey one.

Him shouting at Nikki got me very angry (I like how this thread has basically turned into Nikki luvvers VS Aislene luvvers) and yet again Mikey proved his lack of balls by being sat right next to Nikki and still letting Spiral scream venom at her - then going having a quiet chat with the guy afterwards making him think his actions are all ok! The one person who would have possibly stopped him being such aggressive slime is Jonathan - if only he'd gone in instead of the appalling Michael..

― Affectian (Affectian), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Oh and Spiral is going on Friday, without a doubt. Suzie is dreadful TV but Spiral's actions just then won't be forgotten. If it wasn't for that I'd say it'd be a close call between Aislene and Nikki and that'd be fantastically gripping viewing - especially for this thread.

― Affectian (Affectian), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:28 (nineteen years ago)

from 'ugh unlikeable wanker' to 'DESPICABLE RAPIST-IN-TRAINING' since .. well, Sezer.

I should add Sezer but without the looks and - I hate to say it - the charm. Though it wasn't really charm, more relentless smirking smarm. Still, only slightly better than Spiral - his dancing to Candyshop was utterly ridiculous and horrifying, all at the same time. The look of a guy so 100% certain that this girl would 'suck his lollipop' only to be shot down in flames minutes later. Superb.

― Affectian (Affectian), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

i agree with all of that except that i really don't think there's any chance spiral is going. it seems to be nikki all the way :'(

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 07:18 (nineteen years ago)

Jed, I will Paypal you a shiney one pound piece if you're right. I'm staking it all on Spiral - my guess/hope is that the producers will start editing in favour of Nikki over the next few days (she's too good to lose and BBLB had her as 2nd or 3rd favourite to win I think). Plus Spiral has shot his load too quickly, now's the right time to raise his public hate level to Sezer/Grace proportions and make this eviction 'event tv' again.

Good to see that BB has become interesting again.

don't get me wrong: i don't like nikki, and i really don't like aisleyne. but i'd far, far rather the despicable spiral went - or the tedious suzie, or the boring imogen, or the non-entity jennie - than either of those two, who at least bring some small degree of interest to the show.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

For a brief moment I felt sorry for Nikki when Spiral had a go at her. It lasted about 10 seconds then I was back to the hatred.

I still don't understand why anyone likes watching her.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

I would dearly love to see Nikki go.

Has Michael done anything whatsoever since coming into the house? For someone with such an epically awful intro video (tantric masturbation, etc), he seems to be rivalling Susie in the doing-nothing-whatsoever stakes. Have I missed something here, or are they maybe editing out everything he says or does?

― M Carty (mj_c), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 09:18 (nineteen years ago)

Michael was moaning yesterday that he feels he's unable to be himself in the house.

Re Nikki, she used to be solid gold every day, but it has been a couple of weeks now since we had some endlessly quotable Nikki-ism. Maybe it is time for her to go.

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 09:22 (nineteen years ago)

Oh absolutely. I'm over Nikki, but there are tiny moments when she's more entertaining than 2/3 of the house.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 09:25 (nineteen years ago)

For a brief moment I felt sorry for Nikki when Spiral had a go at her. It lasted about 10 seconds then I was back to the hatred.

i dated a girl like nikki back when i was 18 or so - the tantrums, the attention seeking, the insanity - and watching her on big brother brings back horrific memories.

Still days left on this thang, anything could happen.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 10:03 (nineteen years ago)

Ok Grimly, if I'm wrong you get a quid too! (no one else though) I'm watching this as a soap opera and Spiral going on Friday is right and correct in the age-old 'bad man gets punished' way, and I'm guessing the producers will tweak it towards this. Or maybe I'm just hoping beyond hope..

Reasons I like watching Nikki:
- I've never seen anyone quite like her before, she's fascinating in so many ways (the way she over-pronounces words, the little-girl-who-never-grew-up)
- She's in the TV, ie. not here in my face making my brain explode. I pity the housemates for having to put up with her and it's great being able to switch off when she gets too much.
- She's baby. She serves as the baby of the house and it's interesting seeing how people treat her. Same as Jade a few years back, she's a horror but one with an important role in the house. One of the reasons I don't hate Richard as much as most on this board is because he treats her like a little kid, and hey, I like that.
- She's a spoilt brat and it's just plain funny seeing her wind people up. Swaggering 'street' girl Aislene really can't cope with it and I love that.
- She's not malicious. She never does anything intentionally nasty, it's just pure self-obsession and yes that's bad but it's more forgiveable than the out-and-out spite of Grace.

and I dunno, help me out here? Jed? Anyone?

― Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

i've never seen anyone express themselves quite like her before. people assume she's thick but she's got an extensive (and surprising) vocabulary, the fact that it's littered with mistakes ("amniosity") makes it charming, to me. i cant TOTALLY understand why people find her annoying but if you go with it you get seduced by it. i really don't want to watch BB, i just want to watch the Nikki show.

i dunno, i'm starting to worry about my state of mind though because i was thinking i'll genuinely miss her when she leaves the house. more cause for concern is the fact that i scour youtube for clips of her, some of which i must have watched 10 times in a row.

lets turn the question round though: why would anyone want to watch any of the rest of them? even pete is only interesting now when he's gravitating towards nikki.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

Pete is still interesting to me because I'm beginning to realise he's not the sexless, saint-like figure I (and maybe the housemates) had him down as. The jealousy he was giving off when Mikey was all over Nikki was an eye-opener. I want to know what makes him tick, the same as I want to with Nikki.

I like to know how unusual people ended up the way they are, and Pete and Nikki seem ... more unusual than most.

it starts off pure nikki, the way she expresses her disgust at whatever she's picked up on her foot is classic. but then, what transforms the clip from being a pretty standard nikki moan, is that when she does an impression of jennie... it just a gobsmackingly good impression!!!!

Spiral is definitely worse than Sezer, I don't remember Sezer ever being aggressive. Spiral is fucking awful, I almost want him to stay in just so he might accumulate more hate for when he does finally leave.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

Nikki to Jayne: "I've never been so scared that you were leaving in my whole life." It must be true, considering she's only known Jayne for 8 days and has never been up for nomination.

Anybody else finding the camera placement and "shot compositions" to be excellent this year? Spiral talking to himself behind the couch was great.

Why aren't there a string of girls going to the tabloids with their Stalker Spiral stories? It's turning into a creepier, scarier version of Craig and Anthony.

My prediction is that he will survive the eviction but get chucked out for violent/menacing behaviour. Jonathan will replace him and make it to the final.

Ohhhh no, now she's just spouting the Lea-isms all over again. I like to see Pete and Aisleyne together, it's like they occasionally have moments when they seem like normal, nice people boggled by the nutiness in the house! They seem good for each other! I don't like Nikki and Pete because whatever he does she remains completely obblivious and might as well be talking to any of the other housemates. Pete's Morals For Beginners lessons are still quite funny though. BORED of Nikki.

I'm also bored of the announcements for evictions - Spiral will definitely escape eviction as by the time you get to his name you're so bored of hearing housemates and phone numbers that you've turned off.

Oh you know what Pete's like! Some examples are when he was trying to explain to Lisa why he was against her killing insects, and last night he was trying to explain to Nikki why he was uncomfortable with nicking off with some of the other housemates plonk (yet he still drank it albiet under a fair bit of "oh peeeteeeeey, someone ELSE would do it anyway, we ALL do it" which was really depressing and insistent - an example of repetition NOT MAKING THINGS ANY BETTER Nikki - see Grace et al!).

I second 'bored of Nikki!' now. It's got to the stage where her removal might actually lead to a more interesting dynamic in the house. As it is she seems to hog half the screen time.

Is the unspoken issue in the house the fact that Ash / Jennie / Nikki all fancy Pete and so hate each other because of this?

And if sex-attacker Spiral doesn't go on Friday - and really, how can the public not want this cunt out?! - then it has to be Aislene. Both Jennie and Nikki have said how she intimidates them, which I can imagine all too well. Swaggering about, casting snide looks, rolling her eyes at people - and she doesn't add anything back! Both Nikki and Jennie bring the cutesy laffs but Aislene does fuck all except a) cry, and b) complain about how awful it is that she's the centre of attention. Was it Nikki who said that Aislene has somehow become a major player in the house (due to being be the lesser-of-two-bores put into the 2nd house) and doesn't deserve it? She's right.

But back to the main point, the lack of Spiral footage worries me. The more they show of him the more public hatred he'll inspire, so why aren't we getting this?

― Affectian (Affectian), Thursday, 13 July 2006 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching the same show as some of the people on this thread.

Last night for example - Pete & Aisleyne are in bed chatting, Nikki throws a strop and bitches on with Jayne about how they're talking about her, which is all a load of bollocks. Where are the cutesy laffs? All I see is a stupid paranoid spoilt little brat!

Luckily according to the poll the public agrees with me.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 13 July 2006 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

Both Jennie and Nikki have said how she intimidates them, which I can imagine all too well.

"Imagine" being the key word here, I think. Jennie's relationship with Aisleyne clearly revolves around Jennie needing her affirmation, which is understandable given the way she entered the house. Nikki is Nikki. My sympathy is entirely with Aisleyne having to be the focal point of a whirling vortex of suspicion, resentment, jealousy and neediness - she's almost replaced Pete in that position.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Thursday, 13 July 2006 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

Jayne has been punished yet again for talking about the outside world. The task has been cancelled and the housemates will automatically have a basic budget. She apparently came out of the diary and apologized, saying she was slagging of Aisleyne to Nikki. Wretched human being.

So once the "CENTRE OF ATTENTION" is removed, people can go back to having stops about Pete.

To be honest, I'd cast snide looks and roll my eyes if I had Nikki and Jayne (and before that Grace) throwing a huge bitchy stropfest about me at every opportunity.

Hmm. No-one learns Turkish for no reason

my ex did. well: she tried. she was absolutely bollocks at it.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 13 July 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne is everything she said Grace was. Funny that. She definitely gives off that toughest girl/queen bee vibe, and told Nikki that Jennie fancied Pete (she doesn't) just to wind her up.

Jayne really has to go next week.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 13 July 2006 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne's not so desperate-for-power as Grace tho, is she? Nor anywhere near as conniving. I don't know, I wanted Grace's head on a spike, but I like Aisleyne, a lot.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Thursday, 13 July 2006 14:24 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne seems ok to me. i don't understand the accusations of bullying/intimidation.
how could one NOT roll their eyes at a Nikkifit? "oh, a grown woman acting life a five year old - how normal *remains stonefaced*"

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 13 July 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I really can't see this Aislene love. A few weeks ago maybe, when she stuck up for Suzie after the Gracewatergate incident but now? Post-2nd house she's lucked into a pivotal role in the house and is handling it really really badly. She's like a dimmer less-crafty Grace with an embarrassing patois.

List pro-Aislene reasons pls thx.

Oh and

o aisleyne rolls her eyes, o how intimidating

Come on, if you're stuck in a house with someone 24/7 and there's one person who's constantly looking you up and down like you're a piece of shit then it's gonna grate and feel 10x worse than on the outside.

― Affectian (Affectian), Thursday, 13 July 2006 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I mean although Lea got on people's nerves the way Aisleyne hammered at her that time was pretty bullyish of her.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 13 July 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Not only Lea, Nikki too and arguably Jennie. Bullying the Baby of the house reflects on her in a real shitty way.

Great demolition of Aislene's ridiculous vernacular by Junior Simpson on BBLB just now.

If Spiral isn't going to go - and I'm sure he will - then it has to be Aislene. My only worry is that text messagers won't know how to spell her name.. I can't for a start.

GET PETE OUT

these people are insane. ever in my life have i heard anyone pretend it's cute to have a rat about the house.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 13 July 2006 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

OK, so jayne is ACTUALLY insane

tonight's show, after telling aisleyne she had been "slagging" her off but "thought the world" of her and, immediately after, telling her it was okay and not to worry about it (???), aisleyne was crying and jayne was annoyed by it and aisleyne was going into the diary room and jayne said "do you want me to come in w/ you?" and aisleyne said "no, I'll just go by myself" and jayne said "yeah, but do you want me to go w/ you?" (?????) she said she wanted to be honest and set things straight and that she wasn't a "bullshitter". a pause. "... like you", to aisleyne. aisleyne and michael, who was waiting outside the diary room w/ her, just froze, their mouths open. when they asked jayne about what she'd said, jayne didn't even bother making something up that the "... like you" could have been about but just totally denied saying it and used the common moron tactic of "yeah, I said it, then, whatever you say". INSANE INSANE INSANE GET HER OUT

crosspost

pete getting upset about the insects before always seemed a bit played up, even if it didn't seem put on, but, in the diary room, there, he seemed really genuinely upset when, asked if he thought anyone in the house understood why it upset him, he kind of realised he was all alone and that no-one did understand and I felt upset, too

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 13 July 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think it's so much Aisleyne love as the fact that she's clearly being bullied to fuck in there. Jayne's obviously targeted her as (apparently) the least popular person in there and Nikki is stupidly getting swept along in it. The two of them were hugely unpleasant today.

I'm coming to the conclusion that Jayne, having watched Grace in house, is deliberately going for notoriety. She knows she's not going to win. She knows the Nuts and Zoo career isn't going to happen. She knows she's not going to get a presenting job. So she's going all out for the quick tabloid Big Bitch sell. Either that or she's just fucking stupid.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 July 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

Also, there's a rat in the house, everyone is in the bedroom shouting at one another, and there's a clear lack of a hysterical screaming Nikki. She's nowhere to be seen.

I'm calling bullshit.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 July 2006 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

yeah that was weird that nikki wasn't at the centre of that. i like mikey more recently. i absofuckinlutely loathe pete these days though. that "what a little cute rat" thing is insane as well as fake and someone should rip 'is 'ed off for that drumming on the outside kitchen thing.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 13 July 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

she didn't say it.

now, i loathe jayne more than anyone. compared to jayne, aisleyne and nikki are both beautiful. but trust me: she didn't say it, even though it pains me to admit this.

we rewound to check. she said "about you" or "'bout you" or something, not "like you": ie she meant "i'm not bullshitting about you".

BUT she is absolutely awful - just horrendous and horrific and mad and dire - and really does need to get the boot. jesus.

and mikey proved (lest we forget) that he really is an irredemable fuckwit. "let me sort it out" and off he hoves to start a FIGHT, the great big knuckle-headed cumshot.

that's what mrs fiendish and i thought. we were going: "jesus! did she just say 'like you'? fucking madwoman!" and stuff.

and then we realised that the wonders of modern tech mean you can rewind the telly, so we did. and she said "about you". honestly. you have to trust me here.

of course, she's still mad; and she obviously doesn't have a clue WHAT she's saying half the time, because any half-normal person would have gone: "eh? i said 'about you'". but she isn't quite as vile/mendacious as i first thought.

nearly, though. nearly.

I watched the highlights show last night and this morning (by accident, of course...) and the editing this morning made Jayne's punishment seem very strange. They cut the bit in the DR where her calling Ashleyne (sp?) a 'conniving bitch' and also the bit back in the living room where she said "I was slagging Ash off...". So, cut to Ash looking like an egotistical hysterical buffoon. I wonder how often this kind of editing happens?

Also, on finding out that Jayne had got them all put on basic rations, why was the strongest comment Susie saying "We're all getting punished for something you've done?" Why was no one furious and shouting at mad evil Jayne?

― M (Madeleine), Friday, 14 July 2006 07:52 (nineteen years ago)

i'm sure i heard her saying it. but aisleyne probably looked at someone up and down or spoke in patois, so she obviously deserved it (SUCH A BULLY!)

It's because she hasn't had a proper education, stevie. If she had she'd think the rat was okay instead of thinking it was okay!

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:13 (nineteen years ago)

Why was no one furious and shouting at mad evil Jayne?

because they're all dicks? in last night's show there were various shots after that of certain people - jennie, certainly; maybe others - going: "ooh, the gloves are off now" and stuff, but WHY DIDN'T THEY REACT AT THE TIME.

honestly, i think they're all going mad.

re: aisleyne. her astonishing thickness ("what's a monarch?") suggests she squandered the basic educational opportunities that were offered to her because she was too busy being cool and street and hard. either that or she's so caught up in the image she's trying to project that she thinks she has to act stupid, which is even worse (although i don't think it's the case). either way, she is a complete and utter tool, and my sympathy for her is non-existent.

luckily for her, jayne, spiral, mikey and probably nikki are way, way bigger tools, for a variety of reasons. i'd far rather see any of them go before her.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:16 (nineteen years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:18 (nineteen years ago)

(also - all that said, jayne's constant half-arsed explanations of what she might or might not have said to nikki were so far removed from anything approaching logic or syntax that i can hardly blame A for being a little confused as to what the buggery might be going on.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:21 (nineteen years ago)

I can't decide whether I have sympathy for Ash or not. Although that terrifying thong bikini she was wearing in the highlights show is pushing me to really hate her.

Why oh why do people like Jayne? BB seems to exist to serve my belief that most people are idiots. I do not like this belief, I want it challenged not reinforced!

― M (Madeleine), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:34 (nineteen years ago)

who likes jayne, though? she said something in last night's show about how she's "lucky people in here like [her]" and i was thinking, well, given that you've had them all put up for eviction and condemned them to a week without shopping (not to mention a week with you moaning about no fags), you might be a little wide of the mark there.

nikki's alliance with her is born out of desperation, nothing else.

am i right in thinking jayne has a kid in the outside world? poor sod. at least we can switch her off or evict her.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:37 (nineteen years ago)

My favourite bit last night was seeing Jayne finally pushing Nikki into throwing off the little-girl persona and giving her a telling off. ("For God's sake Jayne, you're like a bull in a china shop").

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:38 (nineteen years ago)

Where's the evidence that no one likes Jayne, though? No one's told her off or given her a talking to (except Nikki, which I don't think counts as it was done with fondness. It should really be done with rage) so she can continue to think she's liked. Perhaps, though, she knows she isn't.... Thinking about her going up to Ash and demanding a hug, giving Ash no option than scarpering or getting on with it - she puts people in a position to reinforce her belief she's liked because she knows deep down she isn't? Possibly?

― M (Madeleine), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:46 (nineteen years ago)

i've never been under the impression that aisleyne is particularly less-clever than the other housemates. perhaps her 'patois' was so thick i couldn't detect the sort of gems other housemates have dropped, like 'amniosity', or how we call seasonably hot weather in June 'Indian Summer'.

jayne is a *mentalist.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

i'm sure i heard her saying it. but aisleyne probably looked at someone up and down or spoke in patois, so she obviously deserved it (SUCH A BULLY!)

haha, oh come on stevie you can do better than that. Lose the glib snide and convince us of Aislene's radiant inner beauty.

I don't dislike her anywhere near as much as Jayne or Grace but she is drrreadful. Today I am disliking her mostly because of her chinless 'hyukhyukhyukhyuk hyuk hyuuuuuk' gormless laugh, laced with a hint of sneering superiority.

― Affectian (Affectian), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

i'd like to take this opportunity to remind people that i don't actually like Jayne at all. i just quite like her boobies.

― teh_kit has 22 friends (g-kit), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:50 (nineteen years ago)

I like Jayne. I don't like all the things she does, but I like her. She seems quite familiar to me.

In the spirit of fairness, if she had told Aisl about what sshe had actually said to Kikki, she'd be talking about how Aisl came across to the viewing public and effectively talking about the outside world again.

Also, she's screwed up life in the house, twice over, and no-one has taken a stick to her. Therefore, she feels that she is liked in the house, and she may well be right.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:52 (nineteen years ago)

sorry ian, being a bit dumb and talking in patois (which loads of kids do) and having a 'gormless laugh' aren't enough to make me hate someone. she reminds me of a couple of friends of mine, and that's why i like her. and i can't help but feel sympathy for people who are persecuted by cowardly, lying mentalists like jayne for seemingly no reason at all (other than having to vote SOMEONE out of the house).

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

a) WTF is this "patois" thing? all i hear is, umm, a girl from london. it's not how she says things that bothers me; it's what she says. and the crying. and the "i'm not a weak person" protestations, which really did make me see her as the school bully brought down a peg or two. and ... oh, see my comments passim.

b) the rest of them are mostly very thick - imogen, mikey and others have come out with some pearlers of idiocy. but the clip of aisleyne on "big brain" or whatever it was, being asked a succession of simple general-knowledge questions and getting them all wrong, does suggest she's not the sharpest of the assembled tools.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 08:56 (nineteen years ago)

To be fair the "patois" thing is an obsession of her detractors + R Brand etc. - I think you're OTM at least there, grimly - "you get me?" is hardly some kind of weird affectation.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Friday, 14 July 2006 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

so why didn't she just say: "i was talking to nikki and i said something about how people were coming across on the show?" instead she barrelled in going: "i was slagging you off, aisleyne!" as if that was the reason everyone was getting punished.

but then the way aisleyne began crying etc seemed oddly unreal and forced ... ach, i'm probably being hugely unfair on her, but that's how it seemed to me. perhaps it's because, after all those ridiculous and unnecessary histrionics in the second house, i can't take her emotional outbursts seriously at all.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 July 2006 09:02 (nineteen years ago)

the 'patois' thing - well, apparently aisleyne's adoption of slang and accent - which, again, is something a lot of white kids do - is being cited above as one of the ways in which she is 'intimidating' people, or as a reason why she is so hated. the point is, she doesn't seem any dumber than a bunch of the rest of them. she just seems like a nice, not-entirely-calculating dude to me.

contrast that with nikki's ugly circus of passive-aggressive co-dependence, trying to make pete guilty for her feeling threatened by the other women in the house and wailing later that pete is 'hers', because 'i saw him first and we bonded' (which is word for wodrd what lea used to say)... well, i actually find someone like that easy to 'hate' (if you can hate someone who is on the telly box)

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

but then the way aisleyne began crying etc seemed oddly unreal and forced

i don't think it was... jayne's been fucking with her head for days, asked her abt her and pete in front of pete and everyone that morning - and then the housemates are gathered in the lounge, jayne is spirited away to be punished by big brother, and the first thing she says on her return is "i've been talkinmg about the outside world, i was slagging off aisleyne" - and this was the very first thing she said when she got back from the diary room. it seems like a pretty obvious headfuck to me...

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 09:06 (nineteen years ago)

so why didn't she just say: "i was talking to nikki and i said something about how people were coming across on the show?"

because Jayne never thinks before she says anything.

Then when she inevitably says the wrong thing she has to do mental gymnastics to recover the position. And then immediately opens her mouth and says the wrong thing. Again.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 09:11 (nineteen years ago)

multi x-posts to stevie:

nikki is crazy and probably shouldn't be in there. she has some kind of weird egocentric disorder going on and seems unable to accept that the world around her doesn't necessarily involve her. this is why i wish i'd studied psychology; i'm fascinated by the way people react within these groups, and i wish we were being told a little more about it (as opposed to having platitudinous nonsense spouted at us on "big brain" once a week. OMG the housemates are "stressed"! well, NO SHIT.)

i digress. something about aisleyne's behaviour makes me agree with ian, suzy et al (her "queen bee" comment upthread sums it up for me) BUT i'll admit that a lot of her behaviour (trying to make it up with nikki etc) goes against that. i wish i'd paid more attention to her behaviour in the second house so i could actually make a more informed observation here, but ... i dunno. she seems to veer wildly between strutting about like she owns the place and playing the victim, and that suggests either a) she's quite duplicitous, or b) she's really not got the emotional intelligence to deal with anything other than the simplest of group dynamics (eg "aisleyne, you're the boss").

as for the "slang" and "accent" ... i dunno, it all sounds pure 21st-century london to me. that's one of the things i love about young london english (for want of a better phrase): it's informed by so many thousands of other cultures that by the time the rest of us have caught up with it it's morphed into something else entirely. you get me?

one last word on the language issue. i'm a 30-year-old north-of-englander living in glasgow. i call people "dude" all the time. this might make me a complete and utter spunker, but it certainly isn't me trying to be "fake" and pretend i'm a bloody californian surfer. aisleyne, i think, is very much trying to project an image as a tough girl (and i don't really think she is tough at all), but i don't think the way she speaks has much to do with that.

Once Nbbflgh is evicted tonight, and everyone's done with commenting on her or his (ah man say it: Her - top three are all fem) eviction interview,

What is the new thread going to be titled?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 14 July 2006 10:08 (nineteen years ago)

I am looking forward, in a way, to having the first possibility, really, this year, of a less certain/definite/inevitable eviction result

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 14 July 2006 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

I've just remembered the other highlight from last night – Nikki listening at the door and punching the bed in frustration at getting caught.

sorry ian, being a bit dumb and talking in patois (which loads of kids do) and having a 'gormless laugh' aren't enough to make me hate someone.

But the mindgames to the younger/baby members of the house is a-ok?

the 'patois' thing ... is being cited above as one of the ways in which she is 'intimidating' people, or as a reason why she is so hated.

Nuh uh, it's cited as a reason why she makes my toes curl - this woman in the late-20s talking like some kid hanging out with her mates at the bus stop, "I'm too ghetto for this house innit, hyuhyuhyuhyuhyu hyuuk". The bullying and victim-tears are the reasons to dislike her.

Oh and 'she reminds me of me mates innit' doesn't really get to the essence of this innate goodness that I'm failing to see in her. Try again.

Grimly hit nails firmly on heads with:

she seems to veer wildly between strutting about like she owns the place and playing the victim, and that suggests either a) she's quite duplicitous, or b) she's really not got the emotional intelligence to deal with anything other than the simplest of group dynamics (eg "aisleyne, you're the boss").

― Affectian (Affectian), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

get spiral out

jayne is a big fat fuckin' liar (i met somebody like her at a party last night - she threw a drink over me then denied doing it - then she fell into a table of glasses and started moaning about how nobody appreciated her 'speaking her mind')

richard calls mikey a "fucking asshole" to his face, then goes into the kitchen and complains about people acting aggressively

― dave q (listerine), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

But the mindgames to the younger/baby members of the house is a-ok?

i haven't seen the mindgames. they probably weren't as overt or obvious as those conducted by grace, nikki, jayne etc. i am quite slow, you see.

Oh and 'she reminds me of me mates innit' doesn't really get to the essence of this innate goodness that I'm failing to see in her.

well, i get the impression you'd probably hate my mates, so don't bother.

and i didn't say 'innit', but thanks for adding that extra bit of 'colour'.

altho i could see how i might be read that way...

i have to say, tho, i got majorly steamed at the way nikki and jayne were LYING to aisleyne when she was standing outside the diary room. it was just so blatant, and pathetic. i'm not sure if watching this programme is good for my health.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:11 (nineteen years ago)

i seriously thought mrs stevie was totally about to lose it last night as well. she gets even more stressed than me by nikki and jayne.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

Ok. Anyway, the last few shows have convinced me Spiral won't be going tonight sadly, so I'm hoping it'll be a battle to the death between A & N. Of course, if Su goes then everyone wins. I'm not putting much store in that online poll, where can you vote on it anyway?

― Affectian (Affectian), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:14 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, spiral seems to have faded to the background for a while. he's outgunned in the mentalist dept as long as jayne's in the house.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Friday, 14 July 2006 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

The vote for it is on the "big brother online" unofficial lots of adverts and popups website.

Such as? Also, Nikki is not ACTUALLY a baby.

Yet more utter, utter bullshit. Plenty of people "in the late-20s" [sic] say things like "you get me?", as far as I'm aware there isn't some kind of cut-off point in age after which one has to speak the Queen's English. Plus the phrase "ghetto" was used to describe Aisleyne first by the likes of Grace, with very dubious overtones - at no point have I heard Aisleyne saying "I'm too real for this house, I'm from the streets" - she might think she has a better grasp of reality than Nikki, but who doesn't?

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Friday, 14 July 2006 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

Aisleyne described herself as a 'ghetto princess' in her intro tape, didn't she?

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 14 July 2006 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

Plenty of people "in the late-20s" [sic] say things like "you get me?"

I thought I corrected that [sic]! Aislene as a 1920s flapper... hm. Anyway, sorry Flyboy I can't help but wince uncontrollably when I hear anyone out of their teens talk 'street'. Shoot me. With your 'gak'. And your 'posse'.

If you'd watched BBLB last night you'd have seen countless examples of Aislene making an utter, utter dick of herself. Including about 4 examples of 'I'm too ghetto for this place' and a brilliant snippet of Nikki in the diary room pissing her sides at Aislene's way of speaking. Oh and did you know Aislene is so ghetto she once has to eat bourbon biscuits for breakfast, lunch AND dinner? And this one time, yeah, she had nothing to eat but frozen peas! (that was her explaining just how ghetto she is)

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 14 July 2006 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

But all this focus on her harmless but silly manner of taking is taking away attention from the real reason she's so disliked - she's a spiteful dimwitted bully who plays the victim card at every opportunity.

Would this be the same Lea who had previously gone on and on and ON at Pete for daring to talk to Aisleyne, telling him he'd "changed" and snapping "it's STOPPED, FINE!" when he dared to try and tell her in a typically diplomatic way that he hadn't "changed"? I think telling her to pack it in was long overdue.

I would not like mice or rats or whatever in my house and wouldn't just let them stay there but I also wouldn't smash their heads in w/ a hammer or whatever which is what makes me more on pete etc's side, than glyn/mikey/SPIRAL's

SPIRAL actually as funny, when mikey said that richard had said he'd seen rats in his flat and just let them be and from THEN he knew he was talking rubbish. and SPIRAL sez "yeh, because de truth is dey're still in his flat. dey didn't say "tanks for the food richard, we'll just fuck off now"" lololol

thanks for the link, affectian. we're going to be late getting to perth to see my folks now, because we're watching it in another window while i type :o

it's a bizarre combination of quite disturbing (the muted colours; the fact she looks v young; the sinister "director's commentary" at the start) and fucking hysterical (the music! the camera falling off the bed! the unforgettable denouement of some welsh bloke's big fucking arse going up and down!)

poor imogen, though. i bet he promised her he'd destroyed that. ach. you can't trust anyone these days.

To add to upthread it was actually Sezer who first called attention to Aisleyne's patois issues. I am quite sure that considering his background - and despite his smarmy misogyny - that he would be well-placed to comment on just who is and isn't posing as a ghetteur. Aisleyne is like the girls who made my life hell at school until they inevitably became pregnoids at 15.

Rubbish. Worst possible result, Nikki had so much more in her. The only saving grace is that if she'd stayed in til the final we wouldn't have had a lengthy interview and a week of Nikki-based BBLB & BBBMs to look forward to.

Yeah definitely in the top three best housemates ever - along with John Tickle and Glyn.

The only person with any watchability left is Glyn. Same as Nikki's Tinkerbell schtick, his 'becoming a man on tv' is a one-trick pony but hey, it's a really really cute trick.

― Affectian (Affectian), Saturday, 15 July 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Ian dude, there's a lot of potential in the way that removing Nikki changes the dynamic of the house. There's only one woman left that wants to fuck Pete for a start.

― mark grout (mark grout), Saturday, 15 July 2006 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

okay, i have to admit that even i was slightly - slightly - moved by nikki's exit/interview/best bits. but then i remembered that an aura of total helplessness and vulnerability is actually a very bad thing in a woman of 24, and that i'm not sure she should have been in there for our entertainment anyway.

i dunno. i think - and i might be alone here - that she went at the right time. i've never particularly enjoyed watching her, as i've said elsewhere, but i can understand why other people do (mrs fiendish thinks she's great); however, her schtick was starting to become seriously annoying and i think that within the next two weeks the tide would have turned and the "fun" of watching a needy, insecure and borderline insane woman lurching wildly from emotion to emotion would have turned rather sour.

but this way she'll be remembered - like tickle and jade - as one of the great winners that never was; and she gets to keep her sanity (or what there is of it) and avoid the inevitable falling-out with jayne that was bound to come. etc.

i'm still surprised she was voted out, though. i thought everybody except me and the rabid pro-aisleynites absolutely loved her. ah well.

The classic BB episodes on E4 atm and the "who is she?!!!" Nikki Grahame freakout episode is one of those featured. Her screaming around the garden flailing her head around.

The fight night episode from 2004 is not featured although I imagine that one would be somewhat problematic to show just now, to put it mildly.

Aisleyne! Her autobiography is my favourite celeb book ever, it is the only one I own that comes with cover recommendations from Charlie Brooker, Mike Tyson and Amy Winehouse.

I think of the first seven series so fondly. It started just as I started high school so I was the right age for watching them, ie I was home pretty much every night instead of going out and missing episodes, which is why I couldn't stick with the later seasons. Plus, everyone was watching them and talking about them, I don't really think you get that factor quite the same now.

Coming from a small working-class insular town in the west of Scotland, BB was probably the first time I was ever exposed to people of such different backgrounds and experiences. It was really useful fo me to see Brian Dowling win at an age when I was figuring out my own gayness, that even despite the Keep The Clause campaign and the fear of homophobia everywhere there was another narrative possible, one where a gay man could be liked and successful.
