All Saints
Weird that whole All Saints hijack, as it seemed they were more desperate/housematey than the housemates who observed them - well a few of the housemates - with total pity. And what happens to certain famous people that they suddenly don't look or sound like themselves? I mean I never took that much notice of All Saints but I found myself thinking - "Is that really them?" - and those weird Californian accents, strangulated and unfunny. There is something depressing about a couple of ex-pop stars in charge of a microphone, to no discernible effect, squawking like parrots, with two flat flutes of champagne. By the way, Dermot telling the crowd to hush for the eviction was unnecessary too - they, like us, really didn't care. Where had they been bussed in from, poor buggers? HOWEVER, I really like Jeremy the rally driver. The sneer. The weedy arms. The posh disdain. Yum.


Jeremy is the moodiest and nastiest housemate ever!BOO!

This series of BB is ending not with a bang, but a whimper.
There aren't any real heroes or villains among the housemates. They are all tolerable ( even the Blubbing Scot, who engulfs each and all in his blobbish embrace at every available opportunity).
I doubt if most viewers care one way or another who wins.
The 'celeb' hijackers have on the whole been an embarrassment, with more than a few cringeworthy moments. We should be watching the housemates doing their tasks (usually rather feebly), rather than seeing the 'Hijacker' fuffing about in the control room, wondering which button to push, or pretending to find the antics of the housemates so hilarious.
How refreshing to note that there are very few conversations amongst the housemates about how they are going to 'cash in' on their new celebrity status (!!) when they leave the house. Well done folks.
P.S. How do these kids manage to sleep so soundly? Everyone seems to be in a coma, even past 9 in the morning. There's no tossing or turning, or dazed blinking, until the wake up calls are sounded.
Did I ever sleep like that? If I did, it was so long ago that I can't remember.
Anyway Kids, best of luck to you all, and if I pass any of you in the street in the future, don't be too surprised if I don't recognize you and ask for your autograph
(unless you suddenly do a handstand,and the splits at the same time), in which case I'll know you immediately.

I agree, Jeremy is gorgeous. That cynical disdain, the "only speak to say something proper" thing he does.
Actually, I can't commnet really. Despite all my fervour at the outset, I have quietly dwindled to watching occasional highlights (if there's nothign better on) while checking my email .
We need more stupid people! I think next year's CBB should be entirely made up of people with an IQ lower than 80. Think of the fun we'll have!
Might not even watch the final. That's how rebellious I have got. I hope I will see you all in the summer,

I'm sorry Tim, I've watched the eviction which did shock me somewhat when Jay was called as the 5th but not at all about Calista being 6th.
Regular bloggers may have been glee-full, if that is the right word to use, to find out if Calista (who fell in love like a wee school girl, butterflies and all, with handsome boxer Antony) actually went ahead and dumped her longterm boyfriend who she sort of promised to marry before she entered the House.
Antony spurned her advances but did obviously like being adored so lead her up the garden path. One moment full of compliments and cuddles and others full of 'Let's just be friends' and let's be really nasty to Calista. Not a nice trade in anybody - let alone a good looking promising young boxer like Antony.
Mind you, Jeremy Metcalfe, the racing driver is a right arrogant arsehole. The girl who is in love with him, a circus contortionist (No doubt pardon my spelling) is treated by him like a bag of shit. He tells her to fuck off (she obliges; he thinks it's funny), she's a slut (for wearing her costume in her circus job - not sexual favours). Anyhow, she and her brother are a different story alltogether. As one BBBM audience member said; we cannot use the I word but it's not far off.
And then, and then, there's Amie; Pure Beautiful, English Rose, Innocent, Principled blahblahblahblah Amie Even the male Highjackers seem to fall for her. If you have a minute, watch Diary Uncut and observe the dialogue between Amie and MacKenzie Brooke and he nearly blushes when she derides him for taking the piss out of her. She aint no artist but is the biggest stirrer in there ever wilst exploiting her charms with every Celebrity Highjacker in there (male and female) I kid you not - she's not stupid
Such a shame I've had to enjoy this series sort of by myself. Never mind - roll on the Summer.
