Poor Jenny. She looked very cute asleep last night, once more.

At one point, she must have shouted something potentially libellous while asleep, as the sound reverted to the 'summer day, birds singing' track.

Oh, and no, I 'watched' for 5 mins as couldn't sleep at 03:00 so watched the "Return of the Goodies" i'd DVDrecorded earlier.

on the whole, it really has been absolute shit this year. barely an attempt at creating a watchable programme; instead just a tedious lot of soi-disant "personalities" shouting and bitching. sure, there have been a handful of interesting or comical moments in there, but for me the key problem is that i'm just not interested in any of them. even glyn, who's apparently undergone this magical journey to adulthood bollocks, has merely gone from being a curly-haired welsh lad who couldn't cook an egg to a short-haired welsh lad who thinks he's going to be god's gift because fucking mikey has shared some pulling tips.

i don't know what i want from big brother - interesting tasks, exploration of the group dynamic, mind games etc - but i do know this one has ended up boring me shitless. if subsequent outings are going to follow the same pattern, i'm giving up on it. too many wacky wankers, not enough good TV.

Jennie continued, talking of Aislyene's insinuations that she fancied Pete: "If she's jeopardised my relationship, I'll go fuckin' psycho."

"If my boyfriend's not there for my leaving night because of stupid words..."

Um, I think Jenny has probably done enough jeopardising on her own without any help from Aisleyne...

A better programme would have just concentrated on the existing housemates and dealing with them in an intelligent entertaining way.

It was all quite watchable until the six new housemates arrived.

Perhaps they'll just have two houses next year.. combining halfway through with half of each making the cut. That might work.

Perhaps, if they just put everyone inside a giant egg. Whoever eats the others and gets the strength to peck through the shell emerges victorious! That'd be a GRATE show.

That's what a TV show is. Not "Nikki screaming in week 2 was good, let's bring it back again for weeks 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10"

1) Bonnie, for being booted too early?
2) the dude that Aisleyne didn't pick, who was way too nice?
3) actually, that's it.

When do we get to vote Makosi back in?

i'm personally at a loss. my girlfriend's housemate watched it with us last night, and she thinks nikki is hilarious, a real character, so maybe. i *do suspect that the Great British Public didn't quite know what it wanted, and perhaps voted Nikki back in out of some pavlovian obeyance of the Heat magazine narrative - that star-crossed lovers Pete and Nikki must be reunited.

even tho she is utterly, utterly hateful, i would've liked to have seen Grace go back in, even if the end result was just finally receiving her just desserts - ie, living in a house which, glynn apart, severely disapproved of how she behaved in there. without her greek chorus of lisa, imogen, mikey and nikki, she would've been a different proposition. mostly, though, i wish they'd just left it.

she was fucking vile and repellent last night from start to finish. horrible bitching and mocking about aisleyne and cackling with richard (who is a smiling nasty piece of work) and then those massive tantrums just because she doesn't get her own ways. when alba said early on she was interesting cos he couldn't figure out what made her tick, I sort of agreed, but now I think it's less complex, she's just horrible selfish brat!

grace was never as bad as nikki.

xpost Well, she got her 21 minutes which panned out much as you just described. Aisleyne confronted her in a reasonableish manner, Glyn hugged her a lot, and Grace bemoaned that Ais had 'ruined her birthday'. Which is a meme in the making, surely.

i missed this whole grace's birthday thing - can anyone link to a precis?

Anyhow, .....

"Would a housemate come to the Diary Room," came the call as the housemates lounged in bed. Nothing abnormal there, except that the words were spoken in Glyn's native tongue... kind of melodic and phlegmy.

If any of the housemates were confused, they would have worked it out soon enough when Glyn yelped in excitement and sprung from his bed like a blonde-haired frog.

Story continues below

He then sprinted as fast as he could to the Diary Room, as if he was worried he might miss out on the best thing ever. When he emerged a few seconds later, the warm glow on his face suggested he hadn't been disappointed.

"It's a Welsh Big Brother!" he beamed.

"Aww, little Glyn, has that made your day?" asked Nikki.

"Yes!" he replied emphatically.

"Do you reckon he's Welsh or he just learned Welsh?" asked Aisleyne.

"No, he's Welsh," said Glyn proudly.

Pete was a bit jealous though, quipping: "I want a BB with Tourette's... and a we need a gay one for Richard."

"They've already got many of those in there Pete," Dickie assured him.

Oh really..?

Just struck me, how few stories I've reposted here from the main BB site. Last year, loads. This year, few. Certainly less 'highlights'. But maybe, like the question "Which is the best half man half biscuit track', the answer is "whichever one you are watching/listening to at the time"

Not without digging down into DS, but to summarise:

Aisleyne had been saying for a while that she wasn't happy with about Suzie and Grace and the water and that she would love to "dash her with water" in the same way.
Grace, aware of this from being outside, spent a lot of time in the house next door talking about how she was going to have it out with Aisleyne.
Grace is put into the main house for 21 minutes to celebrate her 21st birthday.
She enters the house and pretty much ignores everyone except Glyn.
Aisleyne spends about 10 minutes deliberating whether to talk to Grace about the Suzie incident, for fear it will ruin her birthday treat.
Aisleyne finally talks to Grace about it, it goes something like this:
A - "So, have you apologised to Suzie yet?"
G - "No, I didn't need to, there's a lot you have to find out about her. People have shaken my hand and told me I did the right thing."
A - "Don't you think that's rude?"
G - "No, because she's a strippe... anyway, it's my birthday!"
Jennie then appears and says "I don't think you noticed me when you came in, but I did say hello, I'm Jennie by the way."
Grace ignores her again to talk to Glyn and is eventually called back to the house next door.
Grace then tells everyone next door how she put Aisleyne in her place, and she was so scared of Grace she had to get Jennie over to back her up. She then ponders on why exactly Aisleyne is attached to Suzie, concluding that "it must be that it's the closest thing she has to a mother, since her own abandoned her" and laughing about it for about 5 minutes.
Since re-entering the main house, Richard was told what actually happened by Jennie and Aisleyne but prefers to believe Grace.
Davina asked Grace about what happened to all her boasting about how she was going to have it out with Aisleyne, to which she replied "Well I was only going to tell her she's a moose, and there's plenty of time to do that."

OK I'm paraphrasing, not to say distorting slightly, but talk about upping the ante: 'Vote Pete or you condemn me to hell'.

(xp)

Most recent, on entering the jail "OK, where's the secret luxury room?"

Jesus, Dom. Lesley is still possibly my least favourite person ever to appear on Big Brother, but that's a pretty vile way to refer to anyone.

it was really weird last night when she did that thing of throwing herself backwards, crablike, onto the floor. it was like the deleted spider walk scene from The Excorcist.

honestly, she's just self obsessed and mean spirited, the fact she masks this by acting like a child isn't any excuse. horrible.

I'm putting all my hope into Glyn winning, he's not someone I'd like in real life but that's not the point. If I were going to place a bet on the winner of BB, which would be the best and most user-friendly website to use?

What was the 'legal issue' preventing Bonnie from going back in?

1) Richard - Smarmy, conniving C-sucker, who has some plus moments (obviously the letter from his sister)and a list of down moments (not least of which was his reaction in the HND to Grace and Aisleyne; plus his 'I-am-so-wonnderful-I-bought-Nikki-and-Pete together' schtick that he has been playing for at least the last 4 days). His 'I'm everybody's friend' whilst being no-one's has worn thin pretty quickly. Has to be out either first or second on Friday.

2) Jennie - It's difficult to see any bad points in Jennie. Her Spiral moment may be seen as a failing but, personally, I see it as a plus. Her attitude to Pete/Nikki does her credit, only slightly let down by her illogical anti Aisleyne stance in the last day or so. If she had been around from the beginning, I seriously think she could have been a contender.

3) Nikki - What can I say? The best BB contestant ever until she was put back in the HND (Sorry, g-kit,; as much as I do value your opinion, you are/were wrong...at least until last Friday!) And now...a twisted parody of herself, to the extent where we don't even know if she is real anymore.

4) Glyn - For the first 75 days or so, he was up there in the running for winner. But his naif schtick has given way to an insular, twisted, nerd who I would shout down in public if I ever had to argue with him.

5) Pete - A genuinely nice guy, who's lack of confrontational abilities have counted against him in the last 2 or 3 weeks. His attitude to Jennie (have we all forgotten that wonderful 'animal' conversation they had, where Jennie skirted around the issue by using a rather lovely metaphor?) has been awful - she doesn't deserve the cold shoulder. The Nikki thing is lovely from his point of view, but he has been tainted by the 'false' Nikki premise since she re-entered the house.

6) Aisleyne - A great BB contestant, whose major failing has been to let BB's machinations get the better of her. She hasn't been the same person since the HND episode, but has slowly reasserted herself in the last couple of weeks, culminating in the 'let's tie Glyn up in knots' argument over Grace's supposed divinity. Her ability to empathise and constructively bolster her fellow contestants has been brilliant in the last few days (witness her Glyn in the bath conversation and her Pete conversation where she dragged him from the depths of despair into a much more confident frame of mind)

So.. Pete will win (which won't bother me too much) and I hope and pray that Aisleyne is at least second. In a perfect world, Jennie would be third, but it ain't gonna happen cos Glyn wil be there instead. Nikki will be fourth, Richard fifth and Jennie sixth.

And Jennie should count herself seriously unlucky, whilst Nikki counts herself seriously lucky to be heading off into the sunset with her own series...

And then, amid the gasps and squeals, he stands up and shouts "AND GUESS WHAT? I DON'T REALLY HAVE TOURETTES EITHER! YOU WANKERS!".

That's the only thing that could make me happy, at this point.

hmm. i think her boyfriend might not be too happy about all that pete business. that was out of order.

Mind you, I reckon 1) they made it up 2) they've all put big bets on Ais 2 weeks ago when the odds were nice and ABUSIG THEIR POWER!!! (they do this most years but usually fail: JTickle, EuGene, etc..)

Each housemate was assigned to give a speech on another housemate on why they should win.

Aisleyne had Pete and said this:

http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/...=1&housemateId=

"He's brought laughter, fun and music to the House, and respect for nature and creepy crawly things"

Then Pete got upset and started crying in the garden because he believed her speech wasn't as good as the others.Nikki,Richard and Pete went on a bitchfeast about Aisleyne saying she didn't want to compliment Pete and that's why she gave a rubbish speech.Glyn and Jennie agreed saying she was out of order.Then they started ignoring her and being cold because they thought she was out of order.Aisleyne started crying in the bathroom and started apoligising saying it was a mistake and she gets nervous in front of people.Meanwhile Pete was praying to God in the garden saying she's blown his chances..

http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=2968&articleMask=1

"After all I've been through and done I'd like to have got at least a nice speech... I don't think it gave much of a message to the outside. I'm a bit worried about Friday now."

http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=2967&articleMask=1

But there was a distinctly frosty distance between the pair, with Aisleyne now sat inside the House and Pete peering in from the garden door.

Frantic apologies from the promo girl followed, despite Pete constantly insisting he's fine.

Then, out of nowhere, Aisleyne delivered a passionate, off the cuff speech that overshadowed her earlier effort:

"I just want you to feel better. I want you to realise that [the speech] is not a representation of me thinking 'I don't really think much of him, I don't think he should win' or anything like that. I am so c*** at putting things like that into words, especially in front of people."

"Who cares about my opinion anyway? It's about the last 13 weeks and how amazing you've been, how funny you've been, how entertaining you've been, everything you've achieved... finding your old self again, finding Nikki, sorting your mum out... all those amazing things are what matter. Not a three minute speech."

http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=2965&articleMask=1&housemateId=

"Okay, I was a bit disappointed," he said at last. "I thought 'that's really gonna get the votes in'. But all my insect friends out there with mobile phones will vote for me."

you can get a ringtone of spiral's 'you got the 1210s' rap from c4; on reflection that was one of the great bb moments.

"Can you do a portrait of me?" she enquired.

See, she has moments of humanity, but rather than say "don't say that, you'll get everyone stopping you now!" ...

I don't particularly like Aisleyne but considering she's been bullied to fuck in there I really hope she beats Nikki.

Yes, but this one had one big highlight for me: (paraphrased)

Pete: You know everything about me from the outside, don't you? That I'm a manky old perv...
Nikki: I don't care

oh for FUCK'S SAKE. i've really gone off pete.

they're all knobs. hildegarde to win.

why was aisleyne so upset by seeing her saying 'if you cross me i will fuck you up'? that's what she's like.

i suppose what i'm saying is that i still want pete to win, and i'm prepared to write off all this nonsense as last-week temporary insanity. i guess the most interesting thing will be watching him in the outside world: seeing if he stays true to his brighton skedge-punk roots or becomes a throbbing fame-hungry bell-end. if the latter, his stock will plummet faster than shahbaz's self-esteem.

Surely not, after all the official reason for Dawn being sacked was that she received a message from the outside that contained information about the outside from which she could interpret her popularity.

Am I the only one who has considered the possibility that it was a pre-arranged 'booster' for his voting chances? "I'm so proud, and Dad is back" and so on?

It would explain Pete's anger at not receiving it at first.

(xpost but the letters would have been checked for overt signs of that. Covert ones you can't really. "Dad is back" = you're winning. "Dad is nearly back" = you're doing well. "Dad's off to cleethorpes" = you are sezer.)

What was the drunken animals speech? I've been away you know..

The animals thing was when Jennie was drunk and started telling Pete she had a secret. He wouldn't let go wanting to know what it was (she kept on saying she'd tell it outside) and despite apparently realising it was that she fancied him actually wanted her to say it out loud (which is an odd thing, particularly since he was allegedly "in love" with Nikki at the time). She then wandered off into this twee speech about what animals would do if we told them that we loved them - "They'd probably just want us to cuddle them more. Yes. So that's what I'll do."

It was adorable.

The pollsters at http://specialbets.blogspot.com/ have Aisleyne ahead. Their analysis is pretty interesting.

Win Only,Singles Only
Pete 		1 - 5
Aisleyne 	3 - 1
Glyn 		10 - 1
Nikki 		50 - 1
Richard 	80 - 1
Jenny 		150 - 1
Any Other  	350 - 1

Looks like Aisleyne is the only housemate anyone is betting on at the moment. Pete's solid 1-5 is probably due to the mountain of cash that went on him before Nikki's return. Everyone else is drifting, not looking good for Hildegard :(

Nice picture of Jennie, you guys.

Pete sez: "It might have ruined a few chances, but i've done enough"

What an ego.

i only saw this part though: "He's brought laughter, fun and music to the House, and respect for nature and creepy crawly things"

is there more to it than that?

Pete  		2 - 7
Aisleyne 	11 - 4
Glyn 		7 - 1
Nikki 		66 - 1
Richard 	80 - 1
Jenny 		200 - 1
Any Other (Not listed above) 	350 - 1

Pete's gone from 1/5 to 2/7 in 4 hours! More money in for Aisleyne and Glyn. Am I kidding myself on or could this actually become a competition? Pete was 1/10 before Nikki came back.

Pete 		1/3 		 
Aisleyne 	7/2 		 
Glyn 		6/1 		 
Richard 	40/1 		 
Nikki 		50/1 		 
Jennie 		150/1

you know in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when Mr Rooney's car gets towed away? he has the exact same crabwalk fit! including animal noises and nearly falling over backward. amazing!

You might get better odds on "other than Pete" or "Top woman".

www.oddschecker.co.uk

ngh, I can feel my sympathy levels rising for Aislene watching this now. Last thing I want.

I'd like to congratulate Glyn on his journey - from being a gormless brainless twattish waste-of-space in Wales to being a gormless brainless twattish waste-of-space on national television

hehe, class.

Perhaps it is a Zidane-like existential act of defiance.

No, he's just an arse.

agreed, really sad to see a) how much he wants to win, and b) how spineless he is being over how aisleyne is being treated.

of course, he's still treating her better than jennie (transposing her guilt re: her behaviour with pete onto aisleyne), richard (who only ever kicks people when they're down) and nikki (evil, evil, evil, the only thing that makes her bearable is the knowledge she'll never be happy). but really, very disappointing.

Ooh! Harsh, but fair

Jennie has a highlight! On the last day!

I'm reminded irresistibly of Samuel Beckett. Jennie 2 win!

Hmm. Wonder why?

Agreed. That's why I was pointing out that getting 1/3 for Pete was very good money. He's a stick on to win, even though he's turned into a bit of a prick.

and Pete's swearing :-)

Oooh, get them!

Setting my Humax to record it has become a weekly ritual (I work till 10 on Fridays). Then I have to walk home through the streets avoiding hearing the outcome.

Red wine: check
Chinese takeaway: check
laptop in front of telly: check

Davina, you did that last week. Don't sound so excited about it.

Jonathan and Jayne (Jayne burps)

Spoiral 'n' Michael (underwhelming response)

George 'n' Sam (crowd falls asleep)

No Sleazer or Dawn, I notice.

lol

(my chicken'n'sweetcorn soup was lovely, btw. Jennie's interview was dull as fuck)

YES! FUCK OFF NIKKI!!!

Dickie out.

!!?!?!?!?!

xp

! i missed that.

IIRC he had a string on pearls wrapped round his wrist over the glove on his way in to the house.

(actually, look at the career trajectory of winners past. who gives fuck? The continued success of Jade versus, say, Anthony Hutton and Nadia Almada should give you some sort of indication of how much it matters)

pete is better than nadia at any rate.

Nadia is on 8 out of 10 Cats now. She looks good, better than in the past at any rate.

he is?????

1) Craig
2) Brian
3) Kate
4) Cameron
5) Nadia
6) Anthony
7) Pete (pending vote)

I forgot Brian. :(

Aisleyne is being booed somewhat fiercely.

(scourage = g-kit, sort of)

Steve, he's been a complete knob this last week. Invoking God and dead friends and things, and worrying out loud about how things make him look to the outside world.

x post

Pete won.

Glyn is singing "here I go again" by Whitesnake. I wuv him.

It's weird to be so welsh tho innit?

Was it someone on here that said it would be the best thing ever if he stood up mid-victory-interview and said he didn't have Tourette's at all? Because that's all that could redeem this now.

(xpost, why? i was that scottish when I was his age - yeah, yeah, I still am, sometimes)

I'm looking forward to Glyn's interview/best bits.

pete must die.

Pete is a cock.

tho BBBM is still on.

Anyway, good old Big Brother. I will be sad when it stops. It's already been part of somewhere between a quarter and a fifth of my life!

I liked Glyn alright, but I do think his journey was, while amusing, for the worst.

Cameron is some sort of star up here still

on behalf of the soi-disant "greatest small country in the world", or whatever that phallus mcconnell called us, can i just point out that NO HE ISN'T?

Where teh fuck is grimly when you need a grammar pedant, eh?

i was at work, being a professional grammar pedant. (actually: when you posted that i was about to knock off my shift, going: "fuck, i wish i'd done more tonight so sunday wasn't going to suck so hard.") i then picked up a tipsy mrs fiendish from y*t*s's (srsly) and zoomed home with the radio OFF, hoping i'd be able to get home without finding out who'd won. sadly, i made the mistake of stopping to get chips; for some reason the chippie had installed a fuck-off great big telly, which was showing pete's glorious exit the second i stepped in. bugger. still, wasn't exactly a shock.

like alba, my humax has the whole sorry night stored and ready for me. we haven't watched it yet; we watched "big mouth" instead. i figure that judicious use of the fast-forward button should allow me to do the whole thing in 15 minutes.

Aw, really, he should've won. I think he's a genuinely decent bloke.

see, i'm not sure about this. he's been tainted by that jizzer mikey: his charming egg-fearing naivety has given way to the dubious notion that "pulling birds" is the noblest aspiration a young man can have. i'm not looking forward to the inevitable pictures of him and mikey (and slezer, assuming he's not otherwise detained) being laddish and leering in "heat".

Can we now have a brutal post-BB Russell Brand bashing session, please?

no. sure, he can be a bit much in large doses, but the highlights package at the end of last night's BBBM was fucking wonderful. best thing about the whole debacle, that. other than these threads.

- i am DELIGHTED nikki got voted out so early, and was "beaten" (for what it's worth) by richard and aisleyne. i mean, i don't like richard or aisleyne, but ... they're not nikki. actually, the whole putting-nikki-back-in thing might do wonders for society in general because i think it wrung every last second out of her 15 minutes of fame, and people have got really fucking bored with her. here's hoping, anyway.

- i'm glad pete won. yeh, he went a bit loopy at the end, but i think that's an occupational hazard when you're pete. good on him. i'm intrigued as to how he'll copy with the resulting fame etc, but ...

- when do we find out the voting margins? i want to know how close - or otherwise - the whole thing was.

Of course Glyn thinks "pulling birds" is the greatest thing ever. He's an 18 year old boy. It's what they do. You were one yourself once, you cantakerous old sod :-p He still seems quite decent, and I think fairly likely to slip back into his old life again.

Mrs Fiendish was right to be pissed, btw, it's the only possible option when you find yourself stuck in Y*t*s's (see my Christmas night out with work last year).

I agree with Ailsa about Nikki. Bit chavvy but seems decent-hearted and not overly irritating.

How wrong can people be, eh?

no, okay, you might have a point there. i just worry that he'll be ... i dunno, "corrupted" is the wrong word, but i fear that his nice-laddishness is going to be eroded and twisted into lad-laddishness. it's basically because i hate mikey so much, i guess.

...........Actual%Votes@8pm Pre Show
Aisleyne...20.00%
Pete.......44.50%
Richard....9.10%
Nikki......6.50%
Glyn.......19.00%
Jennie.....0.90%

Quick counting on my thumbs would indicate only Glyn pretty much got voted during the shows (or got significantly more votes than eveybody else) based on those percentages.

i just loathe the way she tits about with that constant scowl; like the world owes her glory. "why are they booing me?" because they're the GBP and they're notoriously fickle. jesus christ, get over yourself.

mrs fiendish: "she's like an old woman." she IS, isn't she? like some crazy old crone who smells of cat wee.

countdown to her and pete going spectacularly tits-up (because, let's face it, pete isn't the kind of bloke who'll keep a relationship going just for the magazine deals) ... 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...

xpost: thanks, aldo.

even though i'd dearly like to pretend he doesn't exist.

me, three days in "Grace seems nice - I'm so used to girls on BB being hateful, it's odd to find ones that aren't."

Oh dear.

I don't mind the top three winners. Any order would've done me really.

They should've put Shabaz back in instead of Nikki.

I'm glad Pete won because a) unlike the hivemind I still think he's a nice bloke who's brain just got a bit warped by the house over the last few weeks and b) my mum now owes me a fiver - we made a bet in the first week and she thought Lisa would win, haha.

So, in conclusion, most of the HM's this year were at least sympathiseable, whereas last years were not.

This may go down as the year where they threw every idea at the house to see what sticked (stuck?), and some did, and some did not. It's remarkable that for all the confusion, each 'surprise' got second-guessed by Aisleyne almost immediately, almost every time.

Or, this could go down as the last one like this.

Possibly, it gets sold on to ITV, Davina gets put into mothballs despite not actually looking like a people mover 'this year', and they give it to the name they signed for big bucks but can't figure out what to do with anymore.

Or Paul O'Grady.

We shall seeeeeee,,,,,.....

Emily Marks
Princess Nikki

TV producers in being-stupid non-shocker!

Big Brother 2006 is over. But our souls will still not be clean, because now we have...THE X-FACTOR

1) Nikki was a £500 call girl, prev client includes Pete Doherty
2) Ais lived in a H drophouse
3) etc...

fuck pete and his jesus freak bullshit.

that said, i think pete may have won the battle but glyn will win the war, purely because i can't see pete doing live interviews on richard and judy, etc. he was obviously suffering during his exit interview and they practically ignored him on BBBM that evening.

did nikki skip her second exit interview? was richard as awful as i imagined him to be in his?

> It was a shame, about Jennie's awful eviction outfit and hair.

yes, one of those people who look better when they don't try.

i wouldn't have kept watching the show were it not for bbbm. i doubt RB will do it next year, will have got too big?

I'm going to break with the received wisdom that says this series was decidedly worse than last year. There was way too much fannydangle Craig or Roberto all of whom were so utterly hateful I can still remember all their names.

big shame Aisleyne didn't win, but looking forward in a perverse way to hearing Pete's band's MASSIVELY overproduced first single.

so, if you'll excuse the cliche, who is the REAL WINNER of BB7, kids?

btw (scourage = g-kit, sort of)
lololol wtf joo talxing about tbh i knoes how 2 talk proper k thx

I can't recall anyone saying other.

i heard some gossip this weekend off a mate of ...someone involved with the prog. including the fact that , apparently, week two, just after dawn left, was quite hard to edit because the housemates were suffering from the collective delusion (or fantasy that they had come up with amongst themselves) that shabazz had kidnapped dawn's sister amd was holding her hostage & this is why dawn had to leave so suddenly. apparently most of that week was spent with housemates in the diary room being talked out of that delusion. included - Lea breaking down because she couldn't risk her kid being kidnapped and held to ransom by shabazz, among other things.

i have to say i don't believe a word of it.

(obv, we've had "IT'S ONLY A GAMESHOW" already)

they began with housemates sitting in various different parts of the house; for some reason they had shahbaz hugging george on the diary-room chair. george was a squirming mess of misery. "how long will i have to stay here?" he kept saying. he was still moaning as dermot buggered off out of shot. heh.

Howzabout - Grace knew Nikki from working for the same pimp escort agency.

I'm giving up telly for a month.

i would have watched this if it was all spiral rapping.

poignant.

hang on, i missed this. was that right at the end, then? i was busy trying to get ready for work at the same time. but maybe that bit got cut off by the humax. goddamn.

i'd say he looked like billy idol, if I could remember who the hell billy idol was.

I watched it, but mass poxy-fulage meant no posting about it at the time. And now everyone's said what I was going to say anyway. I'm quite surprised George even agreed to do it.

It's funny how Russell Brand's ascension has made Dermot O'Leary suddenly seem such a square.

Mostly due to the convincing arguments by people on here, and the housemates' reaction to her Pete speech, I warmed to Aislyene in the final moments and was pleased she came third. Which is annoying as I spent the past few weeks thinking she was an overbearing manipulative teary-eyed dimwit. It's like the Victor and Jason year when I felt myself rooting for Jason in the final minutes, despite him being one of the most vile creatures to ever appear on TV. All credit to the ILX commentary.

I'm looking forward to the first kiss-n-tell about Glyn, almost as much as he is. It's sweet that he actually WANTS that to happen. I think, and hope, he'll come through it unscathed.

why has pete left nikki though?

What, is Sezer out on bail or something?
