Big Brother (UK 2004) - Chain of fools: thread 8

The Slickman is now The Sun's official BB columnist.

And...its not even accurate 'Nadia's a man' - no, fuck off, she ISN'T. I don't know any men that look like that, DO YOU?

Sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, it just makes me angry. If they got her in there to open up people's minds, it doesn't appear to have been all that effective.

On another note, Michelle is clearly leaving this week, isn't she? They're editing against her to an incredible degree, having apparently decided having Jason in the house will be more interesting, and make more revenue in the telephone votes.
A shame, because I find Michelle endlessly entertaining. She's been the funniest one in there - often unintentionally, admittedly.

The head-tilt theory is quite something.. there are clearly hidden messages in those publicity shots.

This was sadly inevitable. He's more media-savvy than the rest of them put together..

'cept Becki, but she's clearly upset quite a few media-types in the past - its the only way to explain the way she was treated.

We just don't know....where....

I really like her. I think she's the funniest one in there and I feel bad for her that she's so insecure. Even tonight on the main show, when Shell and Stu were suggesting that she should become a ski bunny, she looked like she wasn't sure what they were talking about and suspected them of mocking her because they are posh and she is not.

I don't really know who I want to go now. I even want Jason to stay, to see how he would react to another week in the house. Maybe I want Stuart to go.

BBLB being a bastion of impartiality on all matters Big Brother.

Yes - you could tell they had heard and were pretending they hadn't.

Not only is it awful for Nadia, those shouts spoilt it for everyone as well. It's like the other inmates have been told the ending of a book or film. The uncertainty was good for dramatic tension.

I think Michelle's really entertaining too but maybe she thinks everyone loves a romantic couple, like Helen and Paul. Except she's hopelessly jealous which is a bit unattractive to the voters.

Because they have the viewers best interests at heart.

Mad coincidence ?

Nadia gets thrown over a wall with "Man is a potato" on her.

The perfect eviction.

(blimey ILE has been nice for almost 48 hours now!)

no, that's silly.

in the infra red nighttime light Dan looks about 60 years old, has anyone else noticed this?

Emma appears to have turned against her in recent days too - she appears to have realised how manipulated she was in the bedsit and has made it clear what she (Emma) was actually responsible for and what Michelle 'encouraged' her to do.

Oh, and negative editing? Not a bit of it - if anything, Michelle has been shown in as beneficial a light as possible: take Tuesday's highlights/Monday's double task fail over lip gloss by Michelle and Nadia. On the highlights show it seemed like an innocent exchange - on the live feed, after the point where the bit shown on the highlights was over Michelle flung it back at Nadia's face shouting "Catch", then apologised after it hit her, claiming "I'm sorry chicken, I never meant that, I never meant for it to hit you." All the time her eyes said exactly the opposite as she glared at her. I think the highlights show has done the best to present her in as neutral a light as possible, given the material they have to work with.

I see my Jason=Top 3 theory has spread, with some other forums quite happily referring to him as this year's jade Goody - hated in the house, but having enough fans to get to the end, but with no chance of winning. A lot of bookies now have him closing on Shell for 4th place.

the only tricky bit was the way the numbers would change as they scrolled across and faded in / out - you ended up with a lot of alternatives, only one of which was a real word. still, kept me and the Tivo amused for 5 minutes.

I think he'll be fourth, after Nadia, Dan and Michelle/Shell (not sure which).

Has BB just decided to forget about all the rules to do with contacting the outside world, then? I seem to remember that in other years that kind of thing would have got you a warning. Although I suppose so much has gone on that they probably don't care anymore.

Shit, I've turned into Peter Beardsley.

Eh? Wha you say?

shell looked gorgeous in her dark make up.

Michelle in diary room: "I know that our relationship will continue after we leave the house and there'll be adventures and happy times to come"

It's hearbreaking! Looking forward to the Davina interview more than any other.

That was partly Michelle's fault, sounding like a bloody politician.

"Did you have sex with Stuart?"
"No comment"
"But did you have sex with Stuart?"
"No comment"
"Go on, did you have sex with Stuart?"
"No comment"
"Aw, tell us!"
"No comment"
"You're just saving this for the tabloids, aren't you?
"No comment"

(or something along those lines)

A dull week on BBLB, and (unless Davina's right and she's saving her story for the tabloids) no career to follow - unless the Peter Andre/Jordan 'Hello/OK/Closer/Heat' route can be described as a career.

Stuart to marry Michelle by the end of the year: 50/1
Stuart to marry a member of Girls Aloud by the end of the year: 40/1

Both DS and the Channel 4 forums, in their "Who do you want to win?" poll have, obviously, Nadia winning. However, both also have Jason in second place.

I have to vote for Jason really, out of... I dunno. I just enjoy the ridiculous. For a man who's stay in the house has been characterised by boredom, thongs, and shouting "VICTOR EBUWA!!!" randomly, I kind of like the guy.

the housemates know about Nadias secret which is why Davina didnt tell Michelle tonight during the eviction.

They have diary room footage of the hm discussing it but CH4 haven't shown it as they dont want to aliente voters and make Nadia as the BB5 freak...

Endeol told the HM talking about it would have a negative impact on them!

what other reason would Davina have for not telling Michelle since it has seemed to be the point of the interview in some cases?

I suppose it would be too much to hope that the reason is because the producers have actually developed some sensitivity and dropped the titillatory 'guess WHAT?!?!?' approach. Really, it isn't up to Davina to tell anyone about Nadia's past. I wish I could say I was surprised that it was such a big part of preceeding interviews.

Is it me, or has this been the most blatantly edited Big Brother so far - and does the fact that The Sun has consistently managed to tip the person who will leave, a couple of days BEFORE BB starts editing the footage to get them out, seem a mite suspicious to anyone else?

Its a shame. Michelle should have WON! The last week won't be worth watching now.

The only thing we've had about this one so far is that Michelle got 67% of the vote. One and a half million people voted her out. Most hated housemate ever?

The look on Jason's face will be classic unless Victor's posse has morse-coded him the details from the Tesco parking lot adjacent, but really the funniest exploration of this will be when Dan has his interview, because he clearly has sussed it (as I would have) and all that remains to be seen is what bons mots will arise as a result.

Dan does this thing that I like which I call 'getting a case of the Veras' which camp English people do all the time - speaking in the depracatory tones of a tacky, affected older auntie (think of Pat Butcher going 'gawrrrrr!' in exasperation). Also he says 'all right?' like Jarvis in I Spy, quite naturally, as a bonus.
