Must. Go.

Also - why the fuck did Channel 4 not get their fingers out and do a highlights show tonight given that publicity for BB3 is at an initial peak today ("Halfwit House" as the mirror rightly claims) - the live footage is, of course, awful and half of it's censored anyway.

In other news: Greece wuz robbed by the Baltic stitch-up

My "Helen is not thick" campaign discovers. Jonny is annoying and PJ (or maybe Spencer) really doesn't want to be there.

― Graham, Saturday, 25 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

...discovers a new cause.

― Graham, Saturday, 25 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Also mark, does the s stand for Sandy?

(I haven't heard him speak yet, so apologies if he's a twunt)

― Graham, Saturday, 25 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's not thickness thats the problem Graham - it's that you can't understand anything she's saying anyway because it's all in one loud monotone shriek. Alex however would appear to indeed be v.thick witness his misadventures with Super Noodles.

Yeah Jonny was losing votes in the bit we did see. All the ladies want to mother poor Spencer. Sandy is fine.

― Tom, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus, Tom! Wasting your grey matter on BB3? Proof that voyeurism traps even the intellectual.....

― Nichole Graham, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I admire Jade's raw Essex edge.

― Andrew L, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

JADE IS THE MOST ANNOYING CREATURE EVER TO HAVE SULLIED THE AIRWAVES OF THIS ONCE-PROUD NATION etc etc but HONESTLY she is a screeching thick meedja wannabe in CHIEF WIGGUM'S BODY and i cannot watch her for fear that i will chuck a brick at the TV in my RAGE!!!!! RickyT haf just pointed out that Alex is Jamiroquai's even stupider younger brother in the body of Guy Pearce and frankly who am i to disagree when this is so patently the truth.

― katie and RickyT being v hungover and possible still pissed, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to burn Davina McCall slowly and painfully over a stake and then dissolve her body in acid to ensure she can't ever get on my fucking TV ever again. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH she's the most annoying person on TV by a million miles.

― Ronan, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jade must die. Painfully. If Lee can get through the series without beating anyone to death it'll be a miracle as well.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

jade = shoplifter w.prison record (says NoW at Tescos this morning) = i am 100% behind her

― mark s, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cd you not use that stake in the more vlad the impaler styleee, ronan? i mean if you get the opportunity, you might as well make the most of it

― mark s, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Alex and Jade must stay so all you non-Essex fuckers can understand what I've had to put up with for the best part of 22 years. VIVA ROMFORD! (It's not in Essex it's in the London Borough of Havering as Alex wisely pointed out ha ha)

― DG, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

so what postcode does it have DG? and what phone code?

― gareth, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha this is where I win cos my 'ouse has an 0208 code, Romford is 01708. Yah boo sucks to you sir.

― DG, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

MARRY ME JADE

― Graham, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Look Graham, just go on the pull at the Time & Envy, South Street, Romford and you can have your very own Jade.

― DG, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Spencer is brooding. He is either evil or just wants to get the hell out of the nightmare. Sandy is planning to be Alpha Male, he'll be happy to let Lee think he is the bees kness for a while.

― J>E>L, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I voted for the Russian song at Eurovision!

― J>E>L, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the pretty, blonde girl who looks a bit like Kirsten Dunst - even if she is a sport-billy. Can't wait for hot weather.

Jade must go. I have to turn over when she starts screeching.

― DavidM, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Lynne! Yummy. And 36. My (ever so predictable) vote.

― Mark C, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But I want that one (ie the one Tom ect. hates).

Is Sandy going to for transvesticism what Anna (was it?) has meant to have done for lesbians?

(It's Spencer I mean above I think)

― Graham, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

can I haver a completely biased and imflammatory ruin-down of the ciontestants so I know who to hate when I get off the plane please?

― chris, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The first time I switched on this dreadful programme I had cause to inwardly ask "Who is this incredibly apalling woman?" Yesterday I had my answer. It seems some of you agree with my estimation. I tuned in again yesterday evening to see the subtitle 'We apologise for lack of sound. This is due to legal reasons' under a lingering shot of a floodlit barn, I think, followed by a uninterupped five minute take of a bloke flicking through a magazine. Magnificent stuff.

― Gordon, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It has become clear to me that Jade is the Queen of the House (possibly the World). She's also reprzaentin' Bermondsey so I can't front on my homiez, or something along those lines. Can't work out Spencer or Sandy yet, the others seem painfully obvious.

Most of them are already getting on my nerves. It's going to be the best BB yet I think.

― Tim, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The first proper stuff I've seen was the highlights show tonight. I don't see how Jade is so much worse than the others - they're all annoying except maybe Sandy and the cute blonde one. I'm not sure, I'm makiing initial judgements and my view, as ever, will probably change.

Spencer = FOOL though. Complaining about NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT after ONE DAY. WHY DID YOU APPLY, ARSEMAN?

― Ally C, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The tough girls at the back of the bus to Bermondsey station were giving Jade short shrift this morning: "She's thick! And so LOUD!"

― Tim, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sunita is MUCH worse than Jade. And I am enjoying Spencer's heroically pissed sulking.

― Andrew L, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was watching gangsta rap ubermensch Angus Deayton instead.

Hey Angus! Who's the greatest? El-P or Aesop Rock?

Saw a bit of it after Graham Norton but couldn't be bothered to stay with it. House looks like a mortuary. Also nothing of what was actually going on in the house - all that was on was that old junkie Davina McCall pratting about screaming PLEASE LIKE ME!

― I Think You'll Find The Vast Majority, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sunita is very irritating, but at least she's not as bloody loud as Wiggumface.

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

WHAT! Watching jade is like watching COD FILTER FEED. Down to the important and subtle assessment of their personalities...

Sunita... you WOULD wouldn't you. >pant< etc

Kate... too thin, but you still would. and she knows how to make the oven work. bit too football obsessed.

Spencer... too male, but you still would. brooding = russel "i command an aaaaarmy" crowe

Johnnie (geordie/durham bloke) really annoys me.

FACIAL HAIR -- NO!!! and JUST CALM DOWN ALREADY. previous year's contestants weren't so wired. it's like they all took one last enormous blast of coke before they went under constant surveillance -- they're certainly worse than in previous years. no wonder sandy (who i'd like to see win) and spencer stay out of the annoying chat circles.

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How come Kate is too thin but Sunita is shaggable when she is just as skinny as Kate? Boys are weird. And I think popular wisdom has Spencer down as a brooding psychopath.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

JADE MUST GO!

― Sarah, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Spencer is absolutely fantastic, he NEVER SLEEPS (at least not the sleep of the living) and is a psycho and I think he should win. Another WIN! vote goes to SUNITA for making Jade cry. I know she's "percieved as" extremely arrogant already but... she made Jade cry by not really saying anythign! Ha! Ha! Adele came out from her hood and we all wish she would go back in there...

― Sarah, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oooh noo, i forgot all my BRAS....

― kate (must go), Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If Kate's really that obsessed with football, why the hell has she volunteered to spend the whole of the World Cup in the one place on earth she can't watch/hear/read about any of the games?

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah and then yesterday 'ooh me oh my I can't work out in this top it's FAR TOO revealing' yeah Kate it would be if you had anything to reveal you titless council-estate-faced tart.

― Unnecessary Venom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's obv surface interest in footie only. like mine. come on, "plucky" cameroon.

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Spencer and Sandy are both suffering from a touch of the "Dean" i.e they will sit out in the garden looking miserable for as long as possible. I'd probably do that as well. Thank the heaven's that they don't have a guitar. Of the girls, I think Alison and Sunita are alright.

I want Sandy or Spencer to win.

― jel --, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"I am 25 and a trained barrister, I am not getting in that drawer" Sunita, not to keen on her hide and seek prospects.

I think its fair to say Jade's having an early bath. Alex introducing the country to green tea will be perceived as doin' a Sada.

― B, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hahahahaha Alex sleeps with an eye mask! The relationship building between stupid Kate and her 'workouts' and fitness instructor GIMP (oh sorry I meant 'Lee') can only get more fearsome.

― Sarah, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah it looks like Jade will be in the two nominated to go this week. PJ, Lynne, Lee and jade are consistently bottom of the popularity thingy on ch4 website.

Nike swoosh tattoo. ICK!

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am scared of Lynne's ginormous gummy teeth.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

grr, looks like you have to PAY for live realaudio feed. (pity me now... thank you)

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you titless council-estate-faced tart.

Emma, your excuse that you were drunk when you screeched this is starting to wear thin.

Jade must indeed go. Call me cynical, but I find it hard to believe that the producers put on for being one of the 12 most interesting people they auditioned. Surely she is there to be a 'God, she's awful' whipping girl that will get the nation talking?

William Hill odds:
Kate 5.5/1
Sandy 7/1
PJ 7/1
Alison 7/1
Alex 7/1
Jonny 8/1
Spencer 9/1
Sunita 13/1
Lynne 13/1
Lee 13/1
Adele 15/1
Jade 21/1

I fancy the same people as Alan T, eek. Esp. Sunita, even though a repeat viewing of her audition tape has revealed it to be twice as bad as I had remembered. Lynne, hmm... maybe. Spencer yum. Alex har har what a prat his beard is as bad as mine etc.

Jesus, Tom! Wasting your grey matter on BB3? Proof that voyeurism traps even the intellectual..... ARF.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

more than evah i back jade all u hataz = ass

― i choo-choo-choose her, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

key question: why are the ILE gurls more tit obsessed than the boys?

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's like men being obssesed by willies, innit?

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not obsessed with willies. I don't have dreams about enormous horse cocks.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You're obviously not a REAL man then.

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No no the dream wasn't exactly about that it was far more complicated & subtle. Anyway on related animal sex news I read something in the Observer yesterday about how pigs are better than sheep which would seem to bear out what Tom said on this subject.

(Ph34r the secret bestial life of ILEers)

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pigs are MUCH worse than sheep in the providing wool stakes. so about this dream?

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

N. you seem to have cooled on Lynne.

Spencer is ace. Lee is a frightener with his hanging around (clearly completely unwanted) in girls dorm and his eyebrow shaving ways but I still like him. Alex and the super noodles!

Sunita is great. 2002 is the year of the new snobbery after all and her arrogance is justified by her being the prettiest and cleverest. I am sure I will hate her by next week but then I'm sure I will hate all of them by next week.

(Except Spencer. And Jade who won't be there ha ha.)

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel vindicated re. the pigs. Can I just reassure ILE that I was speaking from desk research not field research on this issue.

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Next up - Roman Showers!

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I read that as Ronan Showers which is a terrific idea.

Tom is OTM re: new snobbery. mark s is showing his age with his sarf London chic fetishism.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I just looked at Kate's page and saw that her favourite book is 'The Homecoming'. As in the Pinter play? Fantastic!

Jade's page seems to be inaccessible.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i have only seen ten mins' worth so far but clearly jade must go AT ONCE, if only for her inanities about how you cd take lots of heroin without getting addicted if you didn't choose to be an addict. and then for suggesting that people had to talk her out of not listening to anything anyone says.

― toby, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Teen Wolf is PJ's third favourite film of all time!

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How come everyone else is allowed to do new snobbery but when I say - quite truthfully - that Kate has a council estate face I get in trouble? Eh? And I live on a council estate I should know! (But don't have the face for it)

I am revelling in the brief flurry of BB excitement which will be usurped all too soon by fecking W**** C** prattlings.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Adele and SPENCER both have Michael Jackson for fave pop star. The spencer backlash starts here ;-) Kate mysteriously has no stated fave.

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not as mysterious as the complete lack of any details at all for Jade 'must go' Goody. I thought at first the page just wasn't loading properly but now I see that it's just blank.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Book choice horror - Lynne picks STARK BY BEN ELTON.

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And she was reading Marie Claire. I hope they had an article on cosmetic dentistry so she can use any money she gets from being on BB3 on it.

This is reminding me of why I liked Narinder, BB brings out the total bitch in me as it did in her. Helen & Paul were passing informed (???) comment on this year's bunch in yesterday's NotW and 'surprisingly' were both supporting Jade as she is 'bubbly'. Paul doesn't fancy Kate, btw.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is he not a RED-BLOODED MALE? I was appalled to hear Davina utter this appalling anachronism on Friday (well, the Saturday repeat - everyone was screaming too loudly to hear on Friday).

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My no-life trawl of the BB 'latest news' has revealed more key Sunita action. She refused to take part in a stupid 'saucy' dress-up game and she has had a row with Alex. Good for her.

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NotW bloke was v. scathing about Kate's charms, in response to Davina's claim that Kate had all the redblooded chaps at C4 in a tizzy he pointed out that this probably amounted to 2 (leading me to suspect that my grandpa has been writing for them as he has assorted confusing theories re-number of gay people working in TV).

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am going to forgive her her rubby 'Pulp Fiction' choice for that.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

PJ- Teen Wolf? Hilarious

― B, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"JADE MUST GO" is an anagram of "TOM AS JUDGE" - it is a SIGN.

Astonishing BB obsessive photoshopped treatment of the 'house split' plan reported in the papers today. Nickie told me of this upstairs-downstairs scheme months ago. I almost mentioned it on my application form.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hang on - it would appear that these photos are real.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jade is feeling homesick

Ananova comes up trumps with the last sentence.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this heaven/hell house thing has been the talk of the bb boards. it's all a bit survivor if you ask me and will make it all less pleasant. i like seeing the way a group comes together then explodes apart and so on.

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DUSTY JAM SEAT!!

― mark s, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The heaven/hell thing is rub. Keep BB pure!

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Several contestants this year surely chosen to raise awareness of various personality disorders:

Jade = BLATANT case of ADHD (and kleptomania apparently)
Kate = OCD (WAY too many workouts, fiddling with hair etc)
Sunita = attention seeking high achiever, probably neurotic
Spencer = possible Aspergers Syndrome

All the rest seem relatively OK but I fear that only Sandy and Lynne will provide consistent sanity.

JADE! MUST! GO!

― Archel, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes but where would humanity be without its attention seeking high achievers eh.

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Lynne sane? She is clearly a woman on the brink complete with trembly voice & assorted tics.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So who else will the GBP nominate apart from Jade then? What will the BB producers do if 100% of calls are for Jade?

Thank you Tom for your helpful translation. The fact that Lynne got her boobs done on the NHS proves that she is prone to becoming mentally unhinged as you have to prove that having small tits is driving you insane in order to get them done for free.

― Emma, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Alang is implying that I am breast fixated but I was merely passing comment on the Sun's article.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think poor old "psycho" Spencer is in the early stages of sensory deprivation - that house has been designed to be as subtly oppressive as possible - all white, for starters - sheer purgatory! The fact you go *down* a long flight of stairs to enter the house - reinforces the sense of being cut off from the outside world. The fact that one bedroom is clearly more "cosy" than the other was quite obviously designed to promote tension and conflict.

Spencer's hit the nail on the head - there is bugger all to do - *apart* from interact with the other occupants - the blandness of the house was consciously designed to encourage interaction.

Communication with one's fellow (wo)man is the only way to stave off Spencer syndrome....

― Mr 101, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the cozy/harch bedrooms is part of the "split" plan for later. grr. and as for the video stream charges. grrr. again.

grrr

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The bbfans.com website is a bit of a sordid experience. They are v.angry at Sandy for his huntin'n'shootin' activities (NB this is not why it is sordid). Thank goodness "intellectuals" like me have this forum to raise the tone.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sunita hasn't actually shown much sign of having an opinion of her own yet, to be fair - she's just shown a glorious willingness to call Jade on her absurd ones.

― Tom, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

[just to clarify, it's Sandy that's an intriguing mess of contradictions, not Graham]

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sandy looks so familiar...who does he look like? Dr.Fox?

― jel --, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no fair!

― Graham, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

He does! I noticed this on Sunday and it gave me the ph34r.

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

He is indeed the Dr Fox it's OK to like.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Again, that's Sandy, not Graham.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think it's OK to like any sort of Dr Fox.

― RickyT, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Sunita hasn't actually shown much sign of having an opinion of her own yet, to be fair"

...and what she did say was spot on, actually... suggesting that imposing stiff custodial sentences on young and vulnerable (read Class A drug addicted) petty criminals is NOT the most appropriate course treatment.

Not a popular view granted, but one I applaud her for making. All she objected to was Jade trying to shout her down during her attempts to explain this further. Fair play, I say. Jade could have at least given her the courtesy of listening to her first, and THEN disagreeing with her.

Still that's the problem with a house full of extra-extroverts (Spencer and the reassuringly stable Sandy excepted), everyone wants to talk and no-one wants to listen.

― Mr.101, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I would love to see Graham talking to Jade in real life. Or better still, locked in a room together for 10 weeks.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mmm

[slides down into chair, stare into space rocking gently side- to-side, grinning inanely]

― Graham, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That would just freak her out.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can see how some lanky gett locking in her a room with a perfect stranger for his own amusement could be quite upsetting, yes.

― Graham, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

lank·y
adj. lank·i·er, lank·i·est

Tall, thin, and ungainly.

Err.. have you grown a lot recently, Graham?

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh - duh. I'm the lanky git. I see. You win. THIS TIME.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am astonished at the way you all neglect Alison, who is clearly the best. Spencer is the fittest bloke because he has hair like Ally C, who is scrummy, if misguided in his admiration of Minnie M..., sorry Kate.

Jade is a dental nurse. Think about this. The scream of the drill and the screech of Jade at the same time! HORRORS!

― Madchen, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a shame about Kate's sport/fitness obsession and her scrawny hard-body. Still, she is the best looking woman on the WHOLE of the TELLY, so that makes it all right.

I'm really beginning to like Spencer. Heroic laziness and inertia, slumped in the setee staring glumly ahead whilst the rest jump excitedly around their provisions. My man!

Hang on, housemates get to choose who actually goes => Jade is SAVED

― Graham, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Depends who she's up against - Jade vs. Spencer might result in the wrong outcome maybe...

Did you see Alex's Speedos? MwahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAH!

― jel --, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I heard that too Jel, I've not checked the wibbly wobbly web for facktZoR on this yet though. It sounds like right bollox and really cheapens the whole Big Brother format *sobs*

I really need a life, I've spent all morning mailing someone who sits about 6 feet behind me in the office about spreadable 'butter' products.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sarah you do not need to check the entire web as the whole issue is covered up thread. Tch young people today pay no attention to what other people say up thread.

If it's only for a week it could be OK but not so early on as they need some more time to form their little gangs first.

― Emma, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i tried so so hard to watch BB3 last night but i got so annoyed with Jade in the first 3 minutes that i had to go and put new sheets on my bed and sort out the washing. routine domestic tasks dispell the HORROR etc etc... she is just as screechy and chief wiggum-like as i remember her being and i wasn't even drunk last night!

― katie, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Emma, young people want to know what happens PROPERLY rather than a brief description which doesn't tell you EXACTLY what is going on. It is because their brains aren't senile yet ha ha. (And you asked for that one cos you YET AGAIN did the 'young people' thing ARGHHHHHHHH).

― Sarah, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm let us examine the statistical facts. Jade - who is 20 - is the least popular BB3 housemate. Sandy - who is 43 - is the most popular (stats from I can't remember which site but was emailed to me earlier). Age = popularity as science has proven.

― Emma, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I really must take out the "good attention to detail" from my CV, it's like the 5th time I've been caught out this year.

mark s, chief wiggum is grate but he only looks like a piggy. jade looks AND sqeeeeeels like one as well.

― katie, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

christ, watching it a bit last night with adele and cod-face in the pool for a bit of a bitching sesh, and YOU COULD NOT HEAR A WORD THAT GIRL WAS SAYING. it was just a stream of noise, with the odd "eyebrow" audible, and adele was giggling away, but there is no way she understood a word of what she was saying.

― Alan T, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm, if I were in the BB house I'd last about three weeks. I cook well, I'm nice to people in a living situation, but the oiks would drive me nuts (not because I'm better, though my diction is).

However Nick in the house = one week tops. He'd chew his arms off because there was no broadband link, and outlive his usefulness once he'd wanked on the live cam and pointed out the Eames chairs. Not to mention the Puffa girl bloc-vote against, 'cos 'e's weird, innit?

― suzy, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Go, Jade must.

― Yoda, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm on the JADE MUST STAY side of the fence. She's awful, yes, but she makes people have opinions, both in the house and outside. I'm sorry she made Katie soil her bedlinen, but she's just a bit too necessary to be booted out. I can't deal with that cunt Alex, but again, if it gets your blood pressure up, you're probably going to keep watching.

I've gone off Lynne after the sizzling pics. But I must say that Kate is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL and will SO not win as she will rapidly irritate the entire female population. Current favourite = Sandy.

― Mark C, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate is actually an animatronic model of the kind of woman the producers (rightly) think men want to watch. Ph34r her etc.

― Archel, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I do not want to watch her. Her audition tape made me growl with anger, specially the bit where she downed a pint so gingerly you'd think she'd never drunk beer before. As pointed about above football fan thing obv = lies as well. AND she was indirectly responsible for the revival of the dread term 'red blooded male'.

KATE MUST GO

― RickyT, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

MarkC: OI! my bedsheets were already soiled i'll have you know! (hence the washing)

No but mainly because she quit almost immediately after entering the house.

― vita susicivus (blueski), Thursday, 18 January 2007 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

for perspective recall Faria Alam in the house last year. a rant about how the GBP would never let an 'Asian' win, but otherwise she coped well despite more casual racism from housemates at times (er, that time Lenska called Galloway a 'lying Arab'?)

― vita susicivus (blueski), Thursday, 18 January 2007 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

what was Sunita's reason for quitting? I have to say from a lot of the press reports about Shilpa Shetty's experience one could be forgiven for thinking she was the first Asian person to ever appear on BB.

― New Mark H (New MarkH), Thursday, 18 January 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

sunita left because she suddenly realised that fannying about on "big brother" wouldn't do wonders for her career as a lawyer.

She's made it blatantly clear that every bit of money she raises now is to leave to her kids. The fact that people are ghoulish enough to allow this to happen is all kinds of weird, but I can't blame her at all for capitalising on it, she really doesn't know any different. I wish she would leave the kids out of the publicity machine though.

Today on some interview I caught on the radio at lunchtime, some lassie was on about how brave Jade was and how her illness would make other people go for routine smears. If that works, fair enough, but I would have thought it would be more important to go for them and then NOT IGNORE THE RESULTS IF THEY ARE ABNORMAL. Also, getting cancer doesn't automatically make you brave. I don't think she's been particularly brave. If she'd been brave, she'd have got checked out after the initial test results came back.

But, still, a 27 year old girl is dying. There's nothing funny about it.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:22 (seventeen years ago)

― StanM, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:45 (seventeen years ago)

According to some of the media overload I haven't avoided, she was scared and thought it would go away if she ignored it. I think, basically, she was stupid. Not brave. Cowardly. Ill-informed.

She's done wonders for raising awareness in a way that a million publicity campaigns couldn't do, I'll give her that.

she ws scared ailsa, it's a bit cruel to call her stupid; I'm sure many many intelligent ppl have been so scared by illness as to not go to hospital

I think there's something inherently interesting about this in that Jade is the first person to have come up through reality TV, sustained her fame for years pretty much through PR alone, and then died of a terminal illness right dead centre in the middle of the public glare. As far as observing a media circus goes we're kind of in uncharted territory here, not least because Jade is a willing participant.

Especially men, who are notorious for only going to seek medical care when it's often too late.

Good God yes, and also who are experts at symptom creation - chest twinges, intestinal dropouts, neck cancers, shin splints - once discovered, they all portend death, so you are left saying, 'Is it? Isn't it? Leave it a bit and see. Probably just the booze'.

Aye, but smear test results coming back to you with something bad on them tend to indicate OH NOES (potential) CANCER - it's what they are screening for after all - so to ignore a letter which basically says HI DERE YOU MIGHT HAVE CANCER is, shall we say, not clever. It's not like ignoring a headache which *might* be a brain tumour, it's ignoring an actual test for cancerous cells which has told you you have cancerous cells. For someone who is now making as much money as she can to help her sons, did it really never occur to her that seeking the help offered to people with a smear result showing cancerous cells might be a better way to help them by trying to ensure they still had a mother?

i am already awaiting the "jade's life is a parable for our times" opinion columns which will surely follow in the wake of her death

with trepidation, that sentence was meant to finish

Bit unfair to second-guess her experience, isn't it?

You talking to me? I'm only going on what she's told the press (let's face it, there's little being kept secret here), and actual real experience (not my own) of what happens when you get a not-what-you-hoped-for result back from a smear test.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 21:47 (seventeen years ago)

Okay, sorry.

From http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1136142/Doctors-warn-miracle-drug-cure-Jade-Goodys-cancer-slim-chance-working-all.html

Tragically, Jade ignored a letter stating that she needed to have abnormal cells removed from her cervix.

The mother-of-two had already been treated on three previous occasions for pre-cancerous cells found during smear tests. If they are left, there is a risk that some of them could go on to develop into cervical cancer.

'When I heard I had more abnormal cells, I thought this is the fourth time I have been told I need to have the same operation now,' she told Heat Magazine.

'Once you have them burnt off they should not come back, but I was too scared,' she added.
It wasn't until she collapsed from blood loss for the fourth time in four years that she realised she couldn't ignore her condition.

OK, I can't get past this opening sentence: "I’ve never been in prison – but I’ve watched enough episodes of Prisoner Cell Block H to have a good idea what a miserable and lonely place it must be."

Am surprised I got past "says Coleen Nolan", tbh.

^^^ that

And whether innocent or guilty of this latest charge, the mere fact Jack put himself in a situation where the allegations could be made is a damning indictment

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 12 September 2009 11:25 (sixteen years ago)

Really even thinking about the giddy vortex of darkness that is celebrity opinion columns is a bad idea for a shaky saturday.
