« June 2007 | Main | August 2007 » July 31, 2007In, Out, In, Out...No, not like one of Shagessa'a punters. Like a bloody.... Chavelle walked...Ziggy hiding out it in halfway house (for how long?). A total of 24 housemates have gone in so far and it's not over yet. My capacity to care is dividing faster than my attention span. July 30, 2007Change the ChanelleI bet one group of people likely to be very happy at her departure are the much cochlear-abused team of 'Big Brothers' themselves who had to endure hours of her potty mouth Jane Horrocks-style ranting and raving. The guy who put up with Violin-gate must be doing a jig around Borehamwood as I type. When will we get the Chanelle interview? Has it happened? I was going to paste the whole transcript of her final Krakatoa-argument with Ziggy below but hey, I remembered people hating copy-and-pasted stuff from Celebrity BB times past. Feel free to post your own moving tributes to dear Chanelle. I'm sure you will. Have you all closed your curtains and are wearing black? Sombre music? No? Slack and disrespectful, the lot of you... By the way, HATING Carole. My new thing. Ironic that as pagan David was discussing "the death crone" in highlights show last night, BB's very own was listening rapt. And she's backIn out, in out. Great, this means I have more time to get her accent right. http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=17181&housemateId= The drama. Can I recommend the highlights show tonight? I knew Betsey wasn't going to be spearated from Gerry-bear, or Chunkety, Monkety or whatever Jonty's is called, without a tussle of paws. July 29, 2007Sayonara Pea-headHere's the story: it was bubbling under during BBLB (we love Suranne Jones, her and Wendy Richard are ace, true BB fans) and here is confirmation. Chanelle has gone. What will (Heath)Cliff do now? http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=17102 This is a great shame; during Diary Room Uncut I found myself trying to replicate her saying "This boooooo has no resin" over that violin task. I think she just got fed up with those roots coming through but then I'm unfeeling. Charley on BBLB: limited vocabulary and clearly being coached to say things by agent/someone to market herself as "the bitch". All very depressing really. Her hair looked nice though. The rat of nine tails has gone all sleek. July 28, 2007Freaks?The teddy bear man. I get that. The world's a difficult place. You need a furry toy to help you vocalise. So he's 36. So he looks like Poirot. You lot are so judgmental. And the planet is like, being so, raped. I think the best way to help it is definitely wear bad eye make-up and make a public spectacle of yourself. I like David the pagan. One thought: why are the Aussie housemates so hot and ours are so... British? Theirs looks like a Neighbours cast, ours looks like chucking out time at a Harvester. Although their gay one... Gerry, my lovely man (Carole, leave him alone), you can do so much better. July 27, 2007First Impressions...LastCharley is out and we have five new half-way housemates (Prisoner Cell Block H anyone?). They are: We get to turn two of them into real housemates on Monday. Let's see what the weekend brings... PS I am FEASTING on the profiles just slammed up on C4 site. Amy 'loves' Oscar Wilde (wonder what he'd make of her?). Shanessa is a care assistant/stripper! Jonty is a 'Dr Who superfan'. David believes "man is a parasite on earth, resulting in the tragic rape of our planet". Kara-Louise is a joke--but you knew that already. July 26, 2007The Chamber of SecretsI've been dealing with Harry Potter...hence The Paucity of
Posts. By far the most interesting thing about the book is the jacket
photo. JK is posing casually in front of bookshelves we assume to be
hers. Look closely at those titles: decode them. There's some Freud. A few shelves up you will spot The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall. Nearby is The Ladies of Llangollen by Elisabeth Mavor. I am JUST saying... How Clean is Your BB House?I hereby rob Carole of her crown as the queen of clean. I could almost smell her hovel as we were shown around on the Behind Closed Doors quiz. I'd rather see into Zelda's soul than take another tour of that midden. Watching led to washing. Great towers of dog-eared magazines tottered either side of a greasy looking sofa. Would Kim & Aggie dare enter that kitchen? Every surface screamed DIRTY--even her relatives looked like they needed a good scrub. The squalid horror of it all proves Carole just made the cleaner persona up to give herself a role in the house. A role she must now lose, as surely as Rentokil are en route to her lice-encrusted crib.
Mrs Twit? Bo-Selecta Rose West? You decide.... Play the violinsOK, not for the first time, I find myself wondering: "What is really wrong with Chanelle?" These meltdowns, which we periodically see, are not funny in any way. It should have been: a freakout over a violin. Watching them I am invariably not smiling or laughing but watching with my mouth in a kind of "Ye gads, someone get restraints" expression. In the past she's said something about meds. Anyway *shudder* then we had the talent show. I loved that. The BB News thing is really grating though - it ain't that difficult to read an autocue (if you can read). Why are they so bad at it? Oh, and Friday night: if she is evicted Zelda says she's going to say her piece when at the door prior to her actual exit. I expect she will outdo Grace's drenching of Susie with water? But how? Could this be the first BB Waco-style siege? July 25, 2007D'oh, don't apologise!Chanelle was doing so well. Her rant at the evil one was well-directed, long overdue and altogether cheer-worthy. Why then ruin it all by apologising, and doing the decent thing? Bike the Dynasty DVDs over to Chanelle immediately. Replay Alexis and Krystle's best bitch fights. After whupping her nemesis's ass, did Krystle say, "Oh sorry Alexis, but I really thought it was rather rum of you to fire that gun leading to my miscarriage?" No, she smiled wickedly and left the villainess rolling in the dust. (Hans, you're liking this aren't you?) As for Ziggy and his dog... please let's all get a grip - what a dumb animal. All it had to do was go over a see-saw and through a rainbow-coloured tunnel. This required Olympic effort and two bags of doggy-bics, tears and kisses. Poor Chanelle would have been wreathed in doggy breath had she gone in for a snog later. July 24, 2007Charley is right about one thing......Chanelle REALLY needs her roots doing...What would Posh say?
Get Charley OutIf Briff is correct (and he always is) then might I suggest we, all our friends, and any woodland mammals with paws able to text, follow this crowd-chant to the letter. Forgive me, but I am willing to bear more of Krusty's "phat", "largin' it" and miserable head-scratching if it means Zelda walks. Once and for all. Out of there. Not even my contrariest bone can fully maintain a "she provides entertainment" argument. Sorry. In other news, Jordan and Peter Andre have named their new child Princess Tiaamii. I had to share that as well. Anyway, Charley will probably try to muscle in on the christening. Proper CharleyThe quiz show. Charley was the focus, desperately trying to be fine when Chanelle got the better responses and desperately again trying to act dumb over the potential to earn £1 million, when secretly those hooded, evil eyes glittered, "Kerching". After earlier saying that she was only there to get well-known now she spluttered "Why? They hate me out there," in an absurd attempt at humility. "They'll still want to know/read about you," said Gerry wearily. I particularly liked his vision of Carole cooking for the cockroaches after the apocalypse. He's right: as the mushroom cloud blooms, she'll be there turning the mangle. Actually, some of those quiz show answers made little sense. Does a typical BB audience think Charley fancies Liam over Ziggy? Have I missed something? (Entirely likely.) And Ziggy and Chanelle's shower-time sessions are getting ever more interesting, um, position-wise don't you think... July 23, 2007Transformers: housemates in disguiseOk, ok, ok the last thing to get me as excited as this movie was the appearance of my first pubic hair. A surprise trip to the Transformers preview was the last treat on my birthday. Earlier that evening we watched All About Eve and made plans for frolics in my newly acquired hot tub. TMI? Moving on, the Goodies are the Autobots and they Protect. The Baddies are the Decepticons and they Destroy. This makes Charley Megatron: leader of the Decepticons (transforming to and from a pair of straighteners). Who will be our Optimus Prime and save us from Charley? And what form will he/she take? Maybe I should paint my bedroom black and be done. The BB Ark?With rising water levels near the studios in Hertfordshire and falling viewing figures everywhere else could the BB House flood? Should it? A local MP is concerned about local flooding. Elsewhere there has been looting and panic buying of mineral water. The producers will certainly have flood-proofed the house and, if nothing else, Ziggy's hair and ego will keep it buoyant. If the waters keep rising the BB House will become a sort of Ark--they will be all that's left of us. Do you want that? Here is the House address and detailed map. It's every viewer for him/her self! July 22, 2007NooooooCharley's road to Damascus... Or Peckham. Yes, right, and tomorrow night she'll be baking muffins for everybody and discussing emotional intelligence. Let's see how long nice-Charley continues... I'm still with Gerry and his observation that she has a "pozzzonus tong". (I love Gerry and I love Gerry's pants. They get better every day.) Belated eviction analysisOh dear. Gervase Chalk (I do so love the name, but how is it shortened? Gerv? Chalky?) is upset because we have not provided adequate analysis of the eviction on Friday night. He also doesn't like Doogal of course. I want to make Gervase happy. I simply won't have upset on the blog - even though we have a Sharks versus Jets situation with the looming blog-off between Hans and Doogal and their sharply divided supporters. (Can I be Maria? Just this once.) So, calm words are required. Well, Gervase, sorry for not keeping the blog running ALL WEEKEND in the manner of News 24. Here is the official analysis of the Nicki eviction on Friday night: Sad. Toe-curling. Oddly moving. Like watching a vain attempt at resuscitating roadkill that wanted to be left alone to die. Sad again. Painful. Dreary. Why didn't we vote her out sooner? What happened to that great hairdo and 'tude on entry night? Davina, there ain't any laughs here, don't try to elicit any. She is going to crumple. Handle with caution. OK, this is just awful, let's put some ads on... There, that's the analysis. Anyone, got anything to add? Also, on another note: does that new cleaning stuff, Sillit Bang, actually work? Love the name that's all. July 19, 2007Je Suis Back!Like Alexis Carrington Colby from beyond the grave or that itch you got in Thailand and as surely as the Scabs of Shabs. I hereby return from my brief holiday-ette. Anxiously scanning newspapers on the journey back from airport I saw little of the housemates. Chanelle is, apparently, having some kind of weight crisis and that seemed to be about it. News me. I need neat little parcel of information. NOW! PS it's my birthday tomorrow (Bon Anniversaire Monsieur Tim also). July 18, 2007I had 'a fall'...A really funny thing happened to me the other week, and when I say 'funny' I mean 'sad'. It made me cry... twice.... actually, I tell a lie; it was three times, but the third time involved me soiling myself so I don't like to talk about the third time... mostly.... Guess what? I'm back. No you shuttup. And you shuttup too; no-one asked you and even if they did, they were only trying to involve you because they felt sorry for you. 'Go on, give ****** a chance. He/She hasn't spoken the whole time. He/she looks sad and could really really do with a friend.' Yeah, a friend? Well guess what? This is real life baby and there are no friends - look at Kerry Katona. She thought she was opening the door to someone from The Friendly Society. And look what happened. And now she doesn't even have her Porsche. How's she supposed to get down to Iceland for her curry for a quid? I'm sick to the back teeth of Barbara complaining about everything. Yeah, Dickson. She's such a pig's trotter. She's always been jealous of me and it's gotten out of hand. Last night she came round with a victoria sponge that she'd made. 'I made you a cake' she said when I answered the door. She had a look on her face that was a cross between the best of Roger Moore's expressions (choose one, there's only two) and Elaine Paige's face (there really is only one of these, so there should be no confusion). So there, make of that as you will, but I'm not going to be listening to Chess any time soon. God, the screaching.... So, I think after my falling out with Big Brother over recent weeks, I'm beginning to appreciate its charms again. Charms? Well, 'charm' in this case has a name and the name is 'Brian'. God, I love him so much. He's articulate, musical, has great dress sense and isn't afraid to cry in front of the nation. He also looks like Grace Jones (when he was wearing that black suit tonight) which is super-hot and terrifying at the same time. He refuses to travel by Eurostar, did you know that? Well, look babies: Brian to win, yeah? You know you want it. Discuss. and stop doing that. I can see you. Put it down. Behave. Right, bed. Now. They are so boredNew housemates needed. I mean, really. I'm a BB fan but even today found myself rolling my eyes ever so toward the ceiling... If it wasn't for the Children of the Corn and their water fight (as condemned by dear old Carole or is it Pauline Fowler, mysteriously reincarnated as a bigger ball of misery than she ever was in EastEnders?), well if it wasn't for that and the sheer joy it brought me, I may well have turned over to... Nah I would have stayed watching... but new housemates wanted. Some news: Doogal's agent, which he shares with Barbra Streisand - both soooooo demanding, Doogal's insisted on a better suite at the Dorchester than her to carry on blogging - informs me he is set to return at any moment. So look sharp. The Times looks fabulous and so does he. July 17, 2007The life of BrianI realised last night he reminded me of Frank Spencer (if say Frank Spencer had been hit over the head with a hammer and left to wander the streets untreated). He's kind of camp and mad and chaotic and his body moves at angles like a toy soldier. Anyway, I quite like Brian. It really doesn't matter if he is (secretly, very secretly) Mensa material or just an apple who's fallen far from the tree: he just seems sweet. Other issues of the day: Tracey - I can't stand her, for many of you she's ceased to be of any relevance, for me, she makes my teeth chatter and nostrils flare - not attractive; Charley and Ziggy: it's gotta happen, and I want Chanelle's little teddy bear to be in the room, watching, when it does; and Nicky - why does everyone hate her? Alright she's got an annoying voice, but all this scheming she's being accused of? Are we not being shown it? Poor caaaahhhh, I'd hole myself up in the caravan if I was her. More water fights! More Carole mopping up! July 16, 2007'They loved me, big banners and everyfink'They were booing you - that's what going to Attica on a Tuesday does to a girl's mind. Charley in insane dervish form last night. She really has convinced them she is loved by us. Maybe she is. This season's BB has left me bearing-less. I put it all down to Brian - whenever I see him I think of that Pet Shop Boys song, I'm With Stupid. His demented ravings make me feel insane and desperate. But at least he beats Chanelle whose weeping has curdled my own milk. You may have seen the stories at the weekend - but as of next week, five new men will enter the BB house. So Carole will be hiding a lot more pairs of shoes, pointlessly very, very soon. Requests for the Uber-Gruber to blog have been passed to our blogs supremo - who's a bit like the Wizard of Oz. So let us all remain hopeful. July 14, 2007Fake evictionWorth it for Chanelle's face (Charley's impersonation of the slack-jawed whinger was rather inspired). I felt it all seemed soooo scripted. Remarkable initial restraint of audience though. But still fun. Brian's "politics is just showbiz for ugly people" remark again indicates either a passing acquaintance with a dictionary of quotations (if it's someone else's) or if it's own free-forming, natural thought then he's definitely not stupid. And, hey, not all of us have given up on the blog. Some of us have been faithfully tip-tapping away since those twins first bounced into the house like demented Bratz dolls. They wouldn't let me on Alpha Mummy: I think it was my remark that all children were good for was shoplifting. Anyway, it's my birthday and I want a cake fight in a room patterned like a chess-board. See ya. July 13, 2007KrustinessTracey's become so annoying. It's been bugging me. I didn't mind the 'largin it' shtick for a while, but is she all there? What iz er problem? She's gone all limp lettuce. Keep the faithI know lots of you are feeling jaded and grizzled by this year's show but anyway... Here's why I hang on in there. Charley, dear Charley. I want this Zelda from Terrahawks clone to win. On the basis that BB is an entertainment show and Charley is, possibly, the only reason many of us are watching, she deserves to. Anyway, is she really such a nightmare? I thought she did great 'dog' in that Aussie soap task the other night. Let's hope her eviction/non-eviction will be fun. Tedious and tortuous? Really? Nahhh. I think the best survival tactic is to focus on little obsessions. Mine this week has been, 'Is Brian really that stupid?'. When I questioned his stupidity over that Shakespeare thing you all seemed to think he couldn't be that stupid. Then when that ignorance ramped up I was inclined to agree, especially when he showed flashes of guile and dictionary acquaintance - eg, he said someone looked "Bohemian". But now... That voice? The secret agent thing around Pauline, fake housemate. Hmmm. So is he that stupid? Then there's hating Chanelle. I have realised that hating Chanelle can also occupy a large amount of time. Swathes. And the twins. Their hold over people. Their weird connection. Their innocence/scariness. The twins. Hours of pointless fun. And the pointlessness of Liam. That occupies me. So really no need to be bored at all. Damian, have a good holiday love. If anything dramatic happens we'll have tapes biked over to French-land obviously. July 12, 2007Housemates Forced to Watch Paint Dry...We know how they feel! I am not even sure tonight's fake eviction will be all that thrilling. Charley and Nicky haven't exactly held back so we pretty much know what they think. Don't we? Whatever happens, it'll be a joy to see Charley strut into the lion's den. I'd love it if she got a heel stuck in the steps outside the house. I'd love it all the more if she gnawed her leg off like an animal in a trap to get to the waiting papps. That said, I won't see anything tonight or for the next week because I am popping over to France where I will be sans mobile and web. I might watch French BB and report back. Or I might just have a holiday. PS isn't it interesting tat no one seems to care that there is no prize money? Proof, if it was needed, that they're in it for the love. July 10, 2007'Noice' New HousemateLook at moiii, Pauline, PLOIS! LOOK AT MOIIII! For those whose lives have not been enriched by Kath & Kim I give you this! Pauline clearly atteneded the K&K Antipodean Accent Masterclass TM.
PPS She was in the band allSTARS* who fronted cITV show STARStreet* See here for the information you crave. Points to the first person who finds a clip of her Pre-Pauline. July 09, 2007Fake WeekLook, I really will watch anything but last night, eating the new Pringles rice crisp I was struck with the same thought about said crisp and Fake Week. Namely, why? The Pringle original is fine, it doesn't need additional gravelly roughness on top. And similarly Fake Week. I know I have yet to see the chaos, confusion and all-round hilarity Pauline (Pauline? Pauline?) will bring to the house (and isn't Tyler a boy's name?). But beyond all that what does it bring to the house if she's only staying in a week? And it all seems a little dumb to a) tell us she's a fake and b) evict someone on Friday and then put them back into the house. The housemates have all showed themselves to be loudly honest in their opinions of each other. There's hardly any bitching or revleation that stays secret or unspoken. So, they'll bitch to Davina, the others will see, but who's going to be that surprised? And after all that hooha over us paying to evict people only for them to go back into the house last year, why try and make us do the same this year - at least they're being honest this time I guess? And Charley and Carole have already rumbled Pauline's a con anyway. It all seems like too much palaver without a purpose. I very much liked Carole's sage nodding as the pairs of housemates told her about the (totally invented) foods they had to eat. Wangers wants to do Page 3...she's threatening to unleash them! Surely that should be Pages 3 and 4? Give It Up Emily!It's possible I need to stop reading the tabs but the Daily Star has produced another Emily story. She's going to complain about perceived inconsistencies in the way the BB producers deal with rule breakers after Charley was merely warned for using the N-Word last week. A friend of Emily's told the Daily Star: 'She plans to lodge an official complaint to Channel 4 about this. It seems like it's one rule for one and another for Charley. It's pure favouritism." Tomorrow: Emily runs to tell her Mum that it's raining but more drops are, unfairly, falling on her than anyone else. July 07, 2007The L WordL is for Laura and also for Loser--bye bye wanger sloth. Wonder what product endorsements she's going to get? July 06, 2007The P-WordCharley can use the N-Word in reference to herself (though I can think of better words). And I can call myself a poof. But I am not comfortable with either term, not really. I'd rather reclaim a fireplace than rescue racist or homophobic or sexist or even Laura-ist terminology. GaydarRadio is an award-winning digital radio station. Listeners have unanimously voted against the use of the word ‘poof’ by people
that are not gay themselves. "Seventy-seven per cent said that the term was derogatory and should not
be used by straight or homophobic people when referring to someone who is gay or
seemingly gay. Most
listeners felt the use of the word directly contributed to the negative
attitudes towards gay and lesbian people." Well, DUH! Course it does. Oh, and thank you Mr Moyle. This in the same week the government announces a crisis in schools (for once, the system, has too much of something: homophobic bullying). It's worth peeking back to a speech made by Audre Lord in 1979 to see how we might move this debate forward: "It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." And if anyone calls me a poof, I'll batter them. Or set Charley on them. So there. July 05, 2007PoofHang on. Emily is chucked out for saying the 'n' word, which is apparently never acceptable even if - as Emily claimed - said in a playful, non-bigoted fashion. Laura says 'poof' - she would claim in a similarly playful, non-bigotry-intending way - and is allowed to stay in after a stern-sounding talking to. So the 'n' word is always wrong, while the 'p' word is frowned upon but seemingly not as bad. Right. OK. Glad we got that line on "offensive" language sorted out, BB. Gown GateI've struggled to work out just who it is Laura reminds me of. Now I have it. Laura looks like Dawn French swallowed Catherine Zeta Jones. Or is the other way round? Or am I just remembering this ? Her deviousness is proving interesting--she's at the heart of every conflict. Like an arms dealer, she ferries ammunition back and forth. I want her out though. And BURN THAT FILTHY DRESSING GOWN! She hasn't washed it once.... Charley Conspiracy Deepens?So Emily claims the BB producers are rigging the show to keep Charley in (see below for what we think of that and her). Audience members from last week's eviction show claim Davina was encouraging them to chant 'Keep Charley In!'. Can this be? Could Emily be right? I need to stop 'reading' the Daily Star.... The real love triangleForget Billi (as if we haven't already) - the real three-way action in the house - in Charlie's mind, anyway - is between Ziggy, Chanelle and Charlie. The conclusive evidence came last night in the highlights - Charlie finally got to have a proper chat with Ziggy and impressed him, and then couldn't help waving it in Chanelle's face, which is what caused the argument and lost Charlie the task. Then Ziggy ran off to the Diary Room again wanting to leave (exactly what he did last time he lost an argument with Charlie) and admitted he was having problems with both of them. Does he have feelings for Charlie? It's a love-hate thing, for sure. Charlie is desperate for some status in the house, which is another reason for wanting Ziggy - she resents Chanelle's status as top girl (probably why Chanelle was nominated so much this week - she's top of the girls' pecking order but whingeing like a little kid). Chanelle should just feel relieved she's up for the public vote against Laura, who's proved herself to be a lazy, bitchy moaner this week. But wouldn't it be fascinating if Chanelle went? How long do you reckon it would take Charlie to win Ziggy round? July 04, 2007Hear Charley roarLast night... the live show. What HAD happened? She was attacking Liam with great gusto (someone had obviously thrown her some red meat) and then everyone else got a serve too. Ziggy got out of the way of her serrated axe but only just. Something about a failed task. It was magnificent to behold (everyone looked ready to just crumple with exhaustion and fear) but probably pretty gruseome to live within. Grief: a BB originalJonathan is bumptious, self-obsessed, vain - in short, it's no surprise he works in the media. But how fascinating for Big Brother to stray away from its usual numbing fodder of heated hair straighteners and Charley's hippo-bellowing to show us the first stages of Jonathan's grieving. I felt it was 'real', compelling, moving and quite a revelation - in the limited schematics of the show - to watch. He falteringly over-explained himself for sure, and the more cynical may have cringed as he went on about his dear old mum etc, but actually we so rarely see the immediacy of grief on television - still less on a contrived reality show like this - it felt like the first truly original moment of this year's Big Brother. The show prizes idiocy and lack of depth, and here - briefly - it demanded something a little more from the viewer and made us feel uncomfortable. Finally, some reality on a reality show. And far from being a lacking housemate, I think it may have showed why, if he wanted and felt emotionally able post-funeral, Jonathan should be allowed to go back in there. July 03, 2007Laura v ChanelleNews just in....*adjusts glasses and smooths hair before broadcasting live to the nation* Chanelle is planning her eviction outfit. Laura is fantasising about a renunion with Seany. Whose dream will come true on Friday? Do we reckon Laura's bitching has bought her a ticket out? Emily: 'It's a fix!'So, the soap-scented, fresh-faced N-word user has slammed C4 producers claiming they're rigging the show to keep Charley in. "It's definitely Big Brother fixing how people are seen. And everybody is edited into a caricature of themselves," she lisps, in the Daily Star, while twirling with her oh-so-blond hair. "They said they were sorry they had to boot me out," she revealed. "They told my mum they didn't use a lot of footage of me in the first week because they had planned to bring my character out later, then people would want to see more and more of me. What, I wonder, would we have seen and heard? Her YMCA-ing with 'queer' Gerry? Small-talk with her favourite 'fatty' Laura? It's over Emily. Over. And the only reason Charley is still in is because we haven't had a chance to vote her out. Yet. Through a glass darklySo Jonathan has left the house to tend to his family after the death of his grandmother. As he should. His loss is obviously very sad. (Why is it almost impossible to sound sincere here? Anyway...) Will the housemates (not counting Carol) miss him? Not really. Are we sad about losing him? No. Sadly, I am only saying what you're all thinking. Jonathan walksHere's the story from Times Online to mull... http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article2019932.ece Charley 4 Ziggy?Really? Nah? Really? Reasons for it not to happen: a) She can do a lot better; b) I am not sure I could take the inevitable universe-shattering Chanelle wailing/meltdown that would accompany any adultery. July 02, 2007Mucky madamJust in case you haven't seen it... And why would you, it's in the Daily Star and you're all reading The Times (which didn't carry this oddly) or the new Sebastian Faulks and fretting about school fees, right? Anyway, boing... even if you know and have devoured this already, all thoughts welcome. Me, I think C4 should have shown it all - it might have livened things up somewhat in those highlights show which draaaaaggg... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1948 ChanelleAll that roaring: LENTILLLLLSSSS, BIG BROOOOOOTER NOOOOOOOOOOOO AGGGGGHHHH What is the medication? Why the insane grief over the lentils? Is Charley spiking her Ribena? Why does Ziggy approach every day as if he is in Mission:Impossible? Chanelle is tabloid roadkill. It's odd, but I almost can't bear to see it play itself out to its inevitable grisly conclusion... Can Wendy Richard please take over BBBM duties? Fear factorThe sight of Carole doing her exercises - legs opening and closing like the gates of Hades - will remain with me, and keep me resolutely homosexual, for some time. Did you see Fraggle-from-hell Billie on BBLB on Sunday (what? you were out? seeing friends? remove yourself from this blog, shame shame shame on you). Anyway, he was banging on about a game plan and not for the first time this series I have realised how utterly stupid and facile many of this year's intake are. Their self-delusion, their sad, shallow hunger... OK, so it has always been... you might say but at least the publicity-seeking missiles of previous years have been distinctive, rather than this lot of pasteurised, vain mulch. Billie is by the far the most hopeless case to have emerged from the House. He is like a human white-board with absolutely nothing special about him. It's actually chilling. Charley so needs to stay in that house. Your Writers
