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?

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?
