Big Brother (UK 2006) - We really should have used a Sezer-based pun in a title earlier: thread three.

Sam: 5/2
Grace: 5/2
Aisleyne: 7/1
Richard: 15/2
Nikki: 9/1
Lea: 10/1
Imogen: 11/1
Mikey: 15/1
Lisa: 33/1
Glyn: 100/1
Pete: 100/1

Yeah, this is how I understood it. Still, when they said "Big Brother takes rule breaking very seriously" I thought they were going to do something much worse than ban her from nominating again (although I'm sure in the house that punishment seems more more serious than it does to viewers).

charlie brooker, on the other thread, was very funny, i thought, esp abt pete.

nikki just looks so constantly gormless, doesn't she? like a stroke victim or something, her jaw always hanging open.

i like aisling, she reminds me of my best friend when i worked at WH Smiths as a teen.

Ainsley looks good in the morning.

I am off Nikki after her being involved in the bitching about Sam, and insisting to Mikey that Sam fancies him, like it was a hilarious joke. I hate Imogen and Grace and the 'normals' so much now that nothing Aisleyne, Lea or Sam do annoys me even slightly. I actually quite like Aisleyne.

Anyway, Lea to be next evicted at 10/1. I'm having a tenner on that, easy money.

Aish Aysh Ashleeeeen can be quite sharp! relatively speaking. When she was parading her daft bikini thing, Grace scoffed "is that your bikini??!", Aisleyne was all mock-shock "ooh, who's bikini is this?", meaning: what a stupid thing to say. Which put Grace back in her place. Momentarily.

[coughs politely, gestures in vague direction of a certain post on the very first thread]

"bail, sezer" is actually slightly better. but hey, this meta-thread-title amuses me deeply too.

anyway. i've been away and missed a lot of what's been happening since thursday night, although i did manage to catch sezer's eviction. GOD DAMN, i was cheered by that. which probably makes me a bit of a cunt - i mean, should anyone really be quite so gleeful at another's comeuppance?

ach, yes. why the fuck not. it's sezer, for chrissake.

i did think he got far too easy a ride from davina, and actually managed to come across marginally less twattishly than i expected. i see he's in the NOTW today wanking on about his "DATE-RAPE HELL" and how, ever since the accusation, he's been "careful around women". mmm, yes.

vile little man. absolutely horrible piece of work. verily, a walking penis, as i think shahbaz said.

all the grace-hate going on here sounds justified; like i say, i've not seen much of it at all but she sounds like she's behaving appallingly. boo hiss for lisa getting involved in it all too. i think i was probably spectacularly wrong about her.

ooh, it's on in ten minutes. better go and see what's up.

lisa is really starting to actively piss me off.

So I need a new least favourite housemate. Suggestions?

i'm beginning to really, REALLY dislike grace here. i mean, she's so fucking stupid she can't even work out WHY people might think she's a knob. the other HMs not understanding kinda makes sense; they won't know the extent of her backstabbing and bitching. but surely she's got the mental capacity to stop and think, aaah, hang on, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M SUCH A SMUG, BITCHY CONTROL-FREAK BULLY?

she's a fucking horror.

*Smiles sweetly*

lol

keeping her in for another couple of weeks and THEN chucking her to the wolves could be even more joyous ... but what if she undergoes a personality transplant in the mean time?

[thinks]

naah. not gonna happen, is it?

the best outcome would be if suzie doesn't nominate grace. she'll be pathetically relieved and will go into bitch overdrive, thus keeping the show marginally watchable and hopefully pissing off enough of the remaining HMs that they boil her alive for dinner put her up in a "fair" eviction in two or three weeks' time.

See Grace as Makosi and Sezer as Maxwell. There are different approaches towards getting rid of people who need to be gotten rid off, and really, when there's so much expendable waste in the house, it seems stupid to kill off people who still have a, yes, story arc.

yes, i think i agree with this.

Grace isn't that bad, is she?

yes. she's an appallingly smug, spoiled little rich girl who's elbowed her way through life while wanting for absolutely nothing. she has no self-awareness at all; i mean, i think nikki's a chump but, as i pointed out upthread, at least she realises her flaws, and might one day get round to doing something about them.

sure, nobody's perfect. but grace is genuinely just ... unpleasant. and bitchy.

as someone else pointed out, though: sezer was a million times worse.

I think this might be a somewhat presumptuous statement! (If potentially true...)

Not seen this Suzie lass. Sounds like the Golden Ticket has backfired apart from killing MORE BABIES IN AFRICA.

Australia's one is still like this, and it's ridiculously boring. So much so that half the country has moved across to the UK one.

- 15-odd HMs go in, three of which are remotely interesting
- The three remotely interesting HMs are voted out
- Remaining HMs sit around doing nothing, and refuse to drink or argue or cry or be interesting in any way [apart from shagging each other loads, which isn't interesting when they're happy and content doing it]

The UK had more drama in its first two days than we've had all year, and I mean that without a trace of hyperbole.

The host trashed an entire 90-minute special one night, though. That was entertaining.

Last night's perfect example:

Lea (caressing Pete's head and face and making big eyes at him): You get some sleep now, Petey babes...
Pete(shoved up against the wall, quaking in terror): I'm trying...

can i get an amen?

enjoyed watching last night though, had a great shout at the telly!

Grace really doesn't seem to get it does she. Telling people not to eat the chocolates that Suzie offered them, dear god that was the height of playground dickishness. How quickly Grace forgot about wondering what reasons the public have to loathe her.

I want Lisa out next, she's not providing me any amusement she's just an insufferable c**t who likes to bitch seemingly to impress team grace.

When did Shania Twain go in?

you should remind yourself of his audition tape.

Richard and Lea are both leechy drama-chasers and I like them less than Grace, who has good reason for having no idea she's seen as Heather Number One (pragmatically speaking, they're all stirring and most are louder bitches). Also, the editing is over days and girls in groups say the most horrible things about a girl one day and then sort it out the next.

I wonder if Golden Housemate's husband is originally from Bearsden and the son of a really crap but wealthy Scottish architect.

I'm finding my urge to mother Glyn a little distracting. Every time he opens his mouth to say something sweet all I want to say is "Ahhh!"

I disagree that Grace = Makosi for this series - except in the GBP's hatred stakes. Makosi knew exactly what she was up to - most of it being at the instigation of BB itself - and took a certain amount of mischievous glee in what she was doing, I think Grace does what she does out of a combination of insecurity and snobbishness. (ie "I'm the best and I'm in charge and anyone who doesn't agree with that is a threat to me") And as could be seen from her diary room performance she has no self awareness whatsoever and the thought that her actions might be considered in any way questionable by a semi -objective observer hasn't occurred to her and probably never would.

you'd think it was a game show or something. dom otm, endemol = idiots for letting the chanting thing happen.

Grace breaking her heart in the diary room was pretty awful. All those gulpy sobs! I reckon she knows exactly why the crowd were chanting, but she won't have any defence if she admits it. If she deliberately remains in denial, though, she can do the contrite "I didn't realise" or the vengeful "it's how they edit it" when she comes out. She's not going to get in Zoo or Nuts with her pancakes, though, is she?

Yeah Grace's eviction is a done deal. I'd say that part of her reason for that display in the diary room was exactly because she knows this. If Suzie's smart enough to realise this, I like her more than I do already. (It's got to be the speaking voice, 'cos the basketballs she's got badly welded to her chest are very offputting. Her and Lea in the same room is the stuff of Freudian nightmares)

The one who I'm really warming to is Aislyne (or however you spell it) She actually seems to be a nice person. Lea thinks she's in there to disprove the "Blonde, big fake tits" stereotype, but Aislyne might be doing more "good" in that respect.
