this is like parliament in the 18th century, when there was great ideological hostility to the idea of "faction" - ie ppl deliberately banding together and voting in blocs for what they wanted (fopr wehatever sleazt reason) - as opposed to some abstract (and idiotic) ideal of the free independent vote multiplied by [however many mps there were]

According to one of the tabs the other day interviewing a 'source' the producers had decided to show her in a bad light and Jade in a good light because they want Jade in for as long as possible, she being the thing people are talking about.

Apparently, she can mean that with a straight face....
And here I thought it was only a TV show. Silly me. It must have been a slow week on "Brookside", to get this kind of attention.

PJ didn't even know Adele had a girlfriend! Maybe the people in the house claiming to have partners outside don't really and are inventing them to fend off unwelcome advances from other housemates. Only it backfired on Adele when she developed a crush on Alex. On the other hand Tim's pathetic outburst about his girlfriend was truly nauseating and I hope she dumps him asap.

PJ blubbing = REDEMPTION! And he now MUST STAY ahead of tedious Kate! Also according to OK magazine PJ is a genius!

Isn't it a bit suspect the way Big Brother just cancelled the nominations and gave them a bottle of wine to distract them a bit? I mean who exactly are they trying to keep in the house, Jade possibly? I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but if this isn't the Annunaki then Box Car Willie isn't an interdimensional sasquatch.

I did not trust the way the first reaction PJ had after crying was to say 'oh no the girls will be laughing at me'. I think he knows FULL WELL that women are supposed to love men being in touch with their emotions & crying and therefore not only is he a wuss but a manipulative wuss at that. Kate must stay. She makes me laugh (in a good way) also the GBP is always very sexualist in voting out BB people and I don't think it's a good idea to have Jade being the only girl.
I am like Jonny in the being liked thing and I can't work out if it's because I am arrogant or insecure.
Why would anyone want everyone to like them? What about people you really dislike, why on earth would you want them to like you and always be bugging you? The level of support for Jonny on Friday dismayed me. If he wins it will be a travesty of something or other.
I'm not sure why this was funny but I thought so. I want Johnny to win, though for some reason Alex saying "that's a real man" when PJ was crying made me like him a bit more.
Yeah PJ saying "I'm a wuss" was a bit pathetic, I mean he's what age? I guess this is inconsistent with my support for his laddism in the past, but I can pick and choose as I please.
when pj blubbled i liked that alex said "that's the sign of a real man" and it was completely impossible to tell if he meant it or was sarcastic, or of what consequence it was either way anyway
i ph34r tim fucked up his Bold Revolt Against the Arrogant BB God by fatally mixing up wine-hiding and girlfwend-missing into one tearful-pouty diary-room performance
pj's blubbling was very laddish have-it-both-ways blubbling i feel
I'm glad someone agrees with me about the travesty of Jonny support. He's horrible and I can't stand a word he says.
I used to think Kate was boring and goofy looking, but she did something great to redeem herself though now I forget what.

I thought Tim's performance was quite interesting, do you reckon Big Bro replied but didn't show it? It cut scenes and suddenly he was all "I understand big brothers viewpoint on this", did they hit him with the ray gun or something? I thought he had a point, Big Bro were thick to have people someone else knew in the film, someone really dropped the ball there.
Tim never has a point the fat-arsed ginger snotty twat.
I think if I was English I might hate Tim more, it's harder to find prejudices about the people when you don't have a frame of reference so to speak. I remember lots of English people liking Anna back in the day, whereas anyone from Ireland, specifically Dublin had her down as a certain type of person which she may or may not have been, and hated her.
Yeah he is an idiot alright but I did feel sorry for him at first.

The thing with Jonny is that he has been breezy and matey all his life and obviously got on pretty well with that and now suddenly he gets in the BB house and gets nominated more times than anyone else. So he's interesting as a test-case for what happens when a popular good-bloke person suddenly faces rejection. And what seems to happen is that he goes all quiet, tries to get people to like him, wears a perpetually haunted look and actually I end up thinking he's rather sweet.
Tim - I keep trying to stop myself thinking that he was FAKE crying re. the video/his girlfriend - he has more than a touch of the casual Nasty Nick about him.
Johnny - remains wholly average and thus exactly the kind of person you expect to win Big Brother.

blimey the kid who played jim hawkins was tremendous though: he leapt abt the stage and declaimed for england and he looked exactly like a pintsized zoe tate off emmerdale, pre-craziness makeup => haha and the kid who played Ben Gunn looked exactly like T's dotty little dog nacho

also his HIDING PLACE was lame!! the old lady over the road when i wz growing up had a horrible little fat dog called flora which stole biscuits and hid them, by leaning them up against the skirting board while we watched her: WE ARE WATCHING YOU AND THAT IS NOT HIDDEN FLORA!!
tim = flora
I'm also beginning to think PJ's not so bad
Maybe Flora was just lining her biscuits before she ate it. Toy with them then destroy them!
When I was little, I was in my garden and a hedgehog tried to hide behind a clear plastic bottle while I was watching it. Though, that said, when I was even littler, I used to think all I had to do to hide was cover my eyes (I can't see you = you can't see me)
His frothing last night about Jonny's juvenility - "He is a 29 year old man and I bet he doesn't have towel fights in real life" etc. - was feeble-minded: in real life Jonny has TV books magazines and perhaps the interweb to keep him from the dread recourse of towel fights. Then it was followed up by his bitching about Jade for being desperate to win - well yes Tim and has it not occurred to you that you care less about winning than her because you have your own business and a BMW and she has a scabby flat in Bermondsey with a one- armed mentalist mother?? It's the lack of empathy that does for him.
And the posh thing is kind of a reason to dislike him because he is such a typical public school boy - speaking as a public schoolboy myself dont y'know.

I liked it when he turned away in scorn from the pillow fight and instead did his hair in the mirror. That's much more mature and useful, eh Tim?
TIM MUST GO.
― Emma, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
Maybe he just likes black hair! I dye my hair black, it doesn't mean I'm trying to conceal my very dark brown hair or that I'm ashamed of it, I just prefer having black hair. I think it looks nice. Lots of people dye their hair. Also, even if he did try to conceal it, can you blame him? Nearly every other comment against him includes the word 'ginger'
Heh, when I watched that, I thought it was quite good the way he turned away in scorn but then GAH! he ruined it by looking in the mirror.

And, no doubt, in real life Tim has TV books magazines and perhaps the interweb to keep him from people who towel fight.

Yes, yes Tim Must Go - but he can't go this week. I have rather warmed to PJ, as I have to Kate. This is a very tricky one I'd say. I'm playing my cards close to my chest (and then spinning round loads to make meself dizzy).
so now is aware he has given himself away half a dozen times and is furious with HIMSELF for being as useless or more than the others that he despises so: so he DISDANES their silly coping strategies, as at least that way he is still a cut above (= revealing himself, once again, as a cut below - but then he is by some way the dimmest person in the house, EQ-wise) (that too is a public schoolboy cliche i spose)
