Celebrity Big Brother 2009: I have a steve strange fondness for these painful show-offs except Terry Christian

Full line-up revealed

I think I will be watching this.

what's up with mutya's tooth?

It's 2009! I failed at the first hurdle. Mods please?

Thank you.

Christ's teeth, that's actually just about tempting. I've spent the entire week going: "There's no way Tommy Sheridan's really going in there," too. The world doesn't really need a Happy Shopper George Galloway, but it does need more Steve Strange.

What time does it start?

(9pm, if anyone gives a shit. The more I think about it, I'm not even sure I do. Still.)

I'm in. Strange being the deciding factor, although Terry's going to be pretty good as well. As long as C4 dust off those "I'll do anything to get on telly, me" clips from The Word.

Here it comes...

Bugger. I'm up to my eyes with reading (and I should have made much more headway already) so I'm not going to watch them go in. ILX, I'm relying on YOU.

#1 - La Toya Jackson

She looks like Zelda from Terrahawks after a trip to the botox clinic...

Although to be fair, in her intro VT she seems quiet normal. Lots of booing from the crowd though.

She looks more like Michael than ever.

She's just dumped her bag in the private single bedroom. Oh this is going to be a clash of egos. Especially as...
#2 - Mutya

Mutya looks like an old Hello! magazine glamour puss before her time. I kind of like it.

#3 - Vern Troyer

^^^ bookies' favourite, BTW

Crowd not booing Verne Troyer.

(patronising cunts)

La Toya is mates with Verne.

stupid bloody "Rude Tube" programme

#4 - Tommy Sheridan

TBH the housemate I'm least interested in.

You won't be saying that when he ends up in a four-in-a-bed romp with La Toya, Mutyah and Verne.

Verne knew Tommy before he introduced himself... mmm...

"such is life"

"I'll need to go for the humility"

#5 - Lucy Pinder

just capped this from the more4 live stream
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tmz.com/media/2008/06/0625_mini_me_video_ex.jpg

TOP TORY ACTION.

Crowd are chanting "Tory! Tory!" (oh, xposted)

Ahhh, Lucy talks to Verne like a baby.

Oh, that explains how Verne knows Tommy - he's seen the leaks in the paper. Which is different from the civilian version of the show where they're kept away from the media.

#6 - Ben somebody-or-other, who I don't give a shit about...

Fancies himself a bit, doesn't he?

Just a bit.

pull down your snickers and I'll give you a boost?

^^^bluergh

#7 - Tina Malone

I can confirm that she is not the last person on Earth I would expect to do this.

4 stone in 2 days

o_O

must say, pretty stellar cast so far (w/the exception of ben)

#8 - Coolio

Coolio should be the new Doctor Who.

major o_O at coolio

... over 18

"young girls, er... over 18"

Did his intro VT just get badly edited, or is he really a cock?

I thought he came across well.

OK, I've stopped working and switched this on. Fuck me, it's Coolio!

Oh, that explains how Verne knows Tommy - he's seen the leaks in the paper. Which is different from the civilian version of the show where they're kept away from the media.

They've done this before - last time round it was all "when's Jade getting here then?"

Am relying on you guys, I have darts to watch.

#9 - Michelle Heaton, ex Liberty X, me ZZZZZZZZZ...

Christ, Tommy looks old and haggard. I fear he is going to make a TOTAL COCK of himself.

Michelle Heaton was on Celebrity Come Dine With Me once. She was shit. I expect no difference here.

no, he was talking about the thickos that actually vote.

oh, wait...

Has anyone here ever actually phone voted for BigBrother, ever?

(this does not make you a thicko, OK?)

that said, given that they are voting for rather than against people he might get away with the (the dissenting votes spread out amongst the others rather than targeted at him)

have voted twice in the past, can't remember who though.

yeah, but it might actually stop people voting *for* him. I guess.

I used to vote from time to time, but not since the 2006 final (when I voted for Aisleyne).

maxwell

i cant see many people voting for verne after the way he was lipsing up that baby last night. Who could know that there was something more disturbing than seeing him on a full size lady?

The Verne boosterism just tells me that the UK didn't see him on The Surreal Life, a train wreck matched only in its unwatchability by Celebrity Rehab.

I think that was what Michelle was referring to when she said she saw him on something, and was expecting more drunken-ness mentalism from him.

(in fairness I can't watch CBB so it's possible he isn't as completely tragic on this as he was on TSL)

Latest Odds:

Verne Troyer 8/11
Terry Christian 13/5
Ulrika Jonsson 14
Ben Adams 20
Coolio 28
La Toya Jackson 40
Tommy Sheridan 200
Any Other 999

verne's annoying

coolio's annoying

ulrika's a bit annoying

la toya's annoying

tommy's annoying

ben's boring

terry's OK!

he was well funny doing tina

I have to say, Tommy was far, far, far less of a bell-end than I expected.

I believe that he can make up for it in the Davina interview

Good point. Let's see ...

tommy boring and crawling

Ach. He's being OK here, too.

he's rubbish

Compared to what I feared and expected, he's been a godhead.

Objectively ... yeh, he's a bit rubbish, I guess.

Anyone know why Terry's wrist is in a bandage?

he hurt it.

lol, and I thought it was a tribute to Kirk in the new Trek movie...

Did you know, this is the only ILX thread with steve strange in the title?

Terry, evens.
Coolio, five to one.
Ulrika, five to one.
Verne, six to one
Ben, sixteen to one.

That's to come second, that is.
If you want to bet on the winner, Verne is evens and it's free money, innit?

Verne, six to one

Verne is evens

uh?

oh, right, for second.

Verne didn't take a hit with the papers going for the simulated baby fucking scandal?

One went with a rep from a Child Protection league saying "C4 broadcasting that shows how little importance they place in protecting babies" or somesuch.

Another comment had it "now I know what's weirder than Verne kissing a fully grown woman"...

wtg.

Who could know that there was something more disturbing than seeing him on a full size lady?

Oh, it was here. ahem....

Daily Star went with BIG BRO SICKEST STUNT EVER (thusly erasing Kinga from history, if not from my memory).

(on that note: can anyone find that excellent gobsmacked picture of Anthony from the bottle episode?)

http://shinymedia.headshift.com/images/images/oh_dear.jpg

awesome, thanks snoball - there's a bigger closer up version which is maybe my favourite BB thing ever.

So, today, this thread ends.

You reckon that they gonna do one next year? I mean, all that "I don't wanna win, I wannaget out early with my fee" nonsense...

Surely it's in their contracts that they forfeit some of the fee if they leave before being evicted?

I mean, when they are sitting on the sofa come eviction timegoing "Pleeeezz!ME!!! "

Oh I see - because maybe they all get paid a flat fee regardless of how long they're in the house?
Final on now...

oh fuck excellent Bird's Eye are making Arctic Roll again!

5th - Ben
4th - Verne

3rd - Coolio

given that it's only 3 weeks and they have obligations beyond being in the house (bblb, magazines, the final) it's hardly money for nothing even if they leave at end of week 1.

(actually, the mags are extras)

2nd - Terry?!
1st - Ulrika?!

WTF WTF WTF?!

Verne shouldn't have licked the fake baby.

Seems a bit odd that no-one seemed to like Ulrika yet she got 57% of the vote.

I LIKED HER.

How the fuck did Coolio come third?? Admittedly I've not been watching but he was an insufferable penis in at least the first week.

Glad I didn't believe a bet on Verne at evens was free money then. We were looking at this in the pub last night to a whole chorus of WTFs.

Fucking fix, I swear.

yeah, sorry about that ailsa.

This coming from the person that reckoned Tina was a good outside bet!
