Big Brother 7

[hughes]

Yeah, I don't think Glynn has gone on much of a journey at all really, yesterday when he was saying he went from "geek to cocky prick" is incorrect I think, he's just very comfortable with the other 6 people now, and no wonder, he's been with them 24/7 for almost 3 months. When he goes out and meets new people he'll just revert back to the Glynn that went in the house.

Oh, but he'll be able to boil an egg now.

There was a story in the NOTW a couple of weeks ago that said one of the ex housemates had been raped in a hotel. They didn't say who it was but I guess we now know.

Sezar was arrested and bailed for rape recently, I think that's who the story is referring too. He had a previous arrest for rape but he was "cleared" of that. Cleared as in "guilty but not proven" I would say.

I can't be doing with Davina any longer. I'm positive she wasn't this bad during the first few series, I really am. But even putting the interviews aside for the moment, her presenting technique is terrible. She's a loud, gurning, unfunny mess of a presenter with no charm or charisma.

And then the interviews...christ. Grace and Nikki, two utterly loathsome individuals, get asked where they get their shoes from and told how wonderful they were. And then Suzie, who has done nothing but look after all the other housemates and make sure the house doesn't descend into squalor, gets given the third degree. What a joke. I used to quite like Davina but I honestly quite hate her now.

She's absolute rubbish. She gives Sezar the rapist an easy time and practically tells him he's great, she lets Grace, who threw a glass of water over Susie as she left in the most cowardly way possible, off the hook and practically licks her arsehole for the whole interview, and then she gives Susie a hard time because she was boring? What an utterly useless cunt.

Hate this. Watching Big Mouth, and now all those ex-housemates we spent money on getting rid of are relishing the chance of going back in. Fuck them.

Kill them all.

This. Kill them. All of them.

Was that an ex housmate from this series though ? Lesley from last years BB was raped in a hotel room as well wasnt she ? might have been meaning that.

What a crock of shit this has turned into now, what was the point in all the evictions of the last few weeks just for them to put back 4 people. All the money that people have spent nominating has just been wasted.

Davina did make a big thing of the fact that any profits for the "putting back in" call would be going to charity but even so they were all evicted for a reason.

As for Davina she can just fuck right off. Did her usual crappy interview with Mikey but then with susie she was having a right go at her. Im glad susies out as i thought she was a boring housemate but why was davina suddenly giving her all the shit when she let the likes of Sezer and Leah off so lightly.

Nikki is probably a dead cert for one fo the 4 and i would guess probably Leah, Spiral & maybe Jayne.

As has been said though they all know things that have been said and how they are being perceived so will just play up to the cameras now, nikki more then most, she will latch onto Pete if she goes back in.

How is it decided out of the 4 who goes into the house ?

This is fucking shit. People paid money in order to get them out of the house. I don't care how much money they give to charity, the fact is they have conned millions of peope into voting for housemates to be evicted, essentially denied the chance to win, only to then charge people AGAIN in order to get them back in. Utter shit and I hope they get pulled up on it.

The whole Nikki thing makes me sick. She is a useless waste of space and the fact she is getting all she wants because she acts like a spoilt cunt just gives out the signal that it's ok to go through life being a horrendous monstrosity of a person because there are always a bunch of utter ARSEHOLES who will find it funny or cute and pay money to make you successful. Bah. People are fucking stupid.

Grace's nose is absolutely fucking massive. I can't believe people in the house were going on about how she was one of the prettiest girls they'd ever seen. She's an absolute fucking minger.

What about the FUR! She has fur on her arms. Her arms are hairier than some men's arms I've seen. She's a dog in all senses of the word.

Bunneh, is being done for nicking pizza's.....

Why am I not surprised?

They need to inject Sezar with Viagra and stick him back in the house. At least it would be entertaining to see him rape his way through the remaining housemates.

[Boyatsea]

Glyn's journey from annoying gimp to annoying gimp with bleached blond hair.

Indeed, I said almost the same thing last night, only my version was "he's gone from an annoying goofy twat to an annoying cocky goofy twat."

I think the source of my sickness is his nipples. They're just very odd. Plus, he looks like he needs a good wash even when he's just had one. If he makes it to the final two, I shall be furiously voting for whoever he's up against. Whoever, you here?

Yeah, I don't think Glynn has gone on much of a journey at all really, yesterday when he was saying he went from "geek to cocky prick" is incorrect I think, he's just very comfortable with the other 6 people now, and no wonder, he's been with them 24/7 for almost 3 months. When he goes out and meets new people he'll just revert back to the Glynn that went in the house.

Oh, but he'll be able to boil an egg now.

Well, he'll be slightly different. Now he'll tap them on the shoulder and try to look sexy when he walks past. He'll probably get a punch in the face or two, as well.

[DLNY]

Davina did make a big thing of the fact that any profits for the "putting back in" call would be going to charity but even so they were all evicted for a reason.

What she wanted to add was 'Because of the almost universal out-cry at Endemol attempting to spin this out even further and rake more cash in'.

Big Brother 7: hopefully the last series of the show to feature 32,000 housemates still present in the house two weeks before the last night.

As for Davina she can just fuck right off. Did her usual crappy interview with Mikey but then with susie she was having a right go at her.

'I do know one thing, Mikey. You've been a fantastic housemate!'

Oh dear lord.

[Eighthours]

You don't want to be too synical but Pete's Dad appearing out of the woodwork seems a little worrying. "I haven't seen you for 10 years son but now you're on the telly and likely to win I'm dead proud of you son and won't be accepting 20k from the Sun for my story...."

I hope Pete in years to come doesn't look back on BB as 'the time my father popped up, sponged off the situation and messed with my emotions before disappearing again'

I thought the same thing. What a coincidence that he just happens to show up when Pete's about to become incredibly rich and famous.

Of course, as usual, Pete just accepts this without even considering the motivations.

[McFly]

"I'll be swearing and smoking…and I'll beat Ash up!" grunts Lisa, as Grace and Nikki snigger beside her. "Cuh! I'll bring out Ash's true colours!" promises Spiral. "Yeah! Someone needs to knock the tiara off the ghetto princess's head!" gurgles some random audience weirdo, clearly struggling to remain coherent amid so many F-list celebs. "Don't worry, I'll do it for you!" brags Grace, wrapping an arm around Nikki. "She can do it 'erself!" crows Jayne. "

From the Grace Dent column.

Channel 4 under fire over Big Brother

Leigh Holmwood

Monday August 7, 2006

MediaGuardian.co.uk

Media regulator Ofcom has received more than 600 complaints from angry viewers over Channel 4's decision to put an evicted Big Brother contestant back in the house.

Viewers have been calling the regulator all weekend after it was confirmed on Friday night's live eviction show that one contestant would go back into the house and be eligible for the £100,000 prize.

Following a public vote, four out of nine former contestants will enter a secret second house next to the main compound on Wednesday night in a live show hosted by Davina McCall.

They will stay there until Friday night when, after the regular eviction, the remaining housemates in the main compound will chose one of the evictees to join them for the final week of the show.

However, viewers have expressed anger that housemates they have spent money on voting out will now go back into the house.

In a move to try to dampen criticism, Channel 4 has said that profits from this vote - 28p in the case of each 50p text and 36p from each 50p telephone call - will be shared between the charities Shelter, the Teenage Cancer Trust and the series winner's chosen charity.

But the move has failed to mollify Big Brother fans, who have been ringing Ofcom to complain.

An Ofcom spokeswoman said this morning that more than 600 viewers had called its customer centre. Others have complained to Channel 4 itself.

Respondents to MediaGuardian.co.uk's blog on Big Brother were also not happy.

One said: "Only an ABSOLUTE FOOL would ever waste their money voting on this show ever again! Are they seriously trying to piss off their loyal fans by doing this? Well done BB - you've boosted ratings and given Nikki another chance to shine - but at what cost?".

Another added: "Hmmm.... Fraudulent misrepresentation.... Obtaining money by deception... Conspiracy to defraud... even plain and simple theft - anyone think of any others?"

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: "This will give the public the rare opportunity to vote for those housemates that they believe were evicted before their time and to deliver one of the biggest finale surprises to the Big Brother housemates."

Aye, and the surprise is.........BB ends a week early because Endemol need the money for court costs. Nobody wins, Glyn returns to Wales to play with the sheep, Nikki kicks off because she doesn't get the chance to go back into the main house, and the general public say "hmmm, I wonder what's on BBC1 ?"

[Luke]

I bet the bookies are none too pleased about this move of putting someone back.

Also, Nikki is now 3rd favourite to win over at WillHill.com, only slightly behind Glyn (Pete still has a ludicrous lead though).

It seems though that the housemates get to choose who to have back in, surely they will choose someone who they think stands little chance of winning, and as they all though Nikki must be so popular before, wouldn't they be mad to vote her back in?

[veryjammy]

Grace Dent is absolutely spot-on today about the whole Suzie interview/housemate twist.

[Lasers are brilliant]

Complaints to OFCOM are one thing. OFCOM upholding a complaint and taking Ch4 to issue over it is entirely different.

[jawadx]

The whole Nikki thing makes me sick. She is a useless waste of space and the fact she is getting all she wants because she acts like a spoilt cunt just gives out the signal that it's ok to go through life being a horrendous monstrosity of a person because there are always a bunch of utter ARSEHOLES who will find it funny or cute and pay money to make you successful. Bah. People are fucking stupid.

High fucking 5! That's exactly what I've been thinking too.

[Monkichi 3.0]

High fucking 5! That's exactly what I've been thinking too.

She's got her own show now. The point of the show is that she has to keep a job down for a day. That's right, the whole premise of the show is whether Nikki can go through a day in a job without quitting or getting fired. This is how low things have sunk, when a clearly talentless and mentally retarded waste of space gets paid tens of thousands in order to show just how much of a totally useless bint she is. I mean, what the fuck? How can someone be treated as a hero when her accomplishment is that she CAN'T hold down a job for more than a day because she is a workshy, ignorant, talentless shit?

It really annoys me.

[ryodi]

What have all the BB rejects got against Aisleyne? Is it just because she is not as vile as they are that is causing them to feel bitter or because despite everything she is still quite likeable whereas shooting is too good for Lisa, Grace, Jayne, Nikki and Spoiral?

[memories]

From Grace Dent today...

Big Brother can meddle with fake evictions, golden tickets, secret houses and secret gardens, but the moment they simply just change the rules so they can re-instate Nikki, Grace and Lisa, whose deranged behaviour wins ratings, and then give them the chance of winning £100,000, the whole concept of Big Brother begins to feel utterly pointless.

If nobody at Big Brother gives a hoot about the last ten weeks of texts that everyone spent money on, then why are we still lining their pockets by voting at all? It's just a thought, but why not just stop voting? Then the producers can decide among themselves who wins and why, while at least we enjoy the ongoing antics for free.

Pretty much sums it up really. Even if you dont normally read her i suggest you give it a go today as im pretty sure a lot of you on here will be feeling the same.

Spoiral just shows himself up to be a complete and utter wanker. He practically pestered her for sex throughout his time there and even though she chose him to go into the main house when she could have sent the much nicer guy (Johnathan) in should have told hom that she had no problems with him. But no he has to act like this.

How can someone be treated as a hero for kicking a ball around a field every weekend ?

[veryjammy]

For some reason a large section of the public dislike Aisleyne. I don't understand why, although I do like her a lot less than I used to. All in all though, I think she's a decent person who has probably just been sent a bit round the twist by the whole show. I think the former housemates are being so publicly aggressive towards her because they want to be voted back into the house, and they know a section of the public hate Aisleyne and would like to see her have a hard time. Although that said, Grace, Jayne, Nikki and Lisa never liked her anyway. Even Imogen used to dislike her, although she's a sheep and once the other plastics left Imogen cooled towards her.

[ryodi]

Because they have worked hard to get there and are paid what the market thinks they are worth. Hopefully Nikki will be a one series wonder and then fade in deserved obscurity with the rest of the BB rejects.

Note the massive disparity between the amount of bawling she does and the amount of actual tears that are shed during it.

It's Aisleyne's overt self-traumatisation that annoys. She seems to act as if everything hits her harder than anyone else, to the point where her usual method of dealing with bad things is throw an entirely disproportionate and probably exaggerated sobbing fit.

It just seems effected and shallow to me. She's horrific and her overly emotional attempts to hog the sympathy vote come across as either woefully self-centred or entirely cynical, not mention cranking up the general level of histrionics in the house - she's wound Jenny up on plenty of occasions to further her own sense of victimhood.

She's a direct contrast to Nikki for me.

Nikki is a hilarious example of the very worst excesses fame and celebrity culture can cause. Stunning to watch. She gets away with it by being such a fucking freak. Compared to Aisleyne, she's Queen of the Universe with her "WHO IS SHE?" ranting and self-centered tantrums so extreme that they transcend annoyance and reach a sublime level of self-charicature rarely seen in even the most talented comedian.

I MAY GET THE CHANCE TO GO TO THE BB PARTY. I only want to meet Nikki.

[Professor Puzzles]

Make sure to load up on piss grenades beforehand, sir!

[Mogget]

Plenty of people work hard, but precious few are treated as heroes and get paid £70,000 a week.

[Lorfarius]

True but playing football professionally is by no means an easy feat. Turning up to a TV studio, acting like an idiot and then spending 10 weeks in a house with some people is. Go figure.

[Sfan]

They have messed around with the eviction process far too much this year. I think they will need to look at the whole format of this show if they expect it to last much longer.

[McFly]

Comparing professional premership footballers to Nikki is ridiculous. Premership players are the some of the best in the WORLD at what they do, they get paid obscene amounts of money i agree but they are extremely good at something lots of people care about and takes years of hard work. Nikki is being paid good money for acting llike/being an idiot and total spoilt brat while appearing in a tv show for 6 weeks.

[hughes]

I have no idea who is likely to go in tomorrow*. I mean, I'd imagine Nikki and to a lesser extent Lea are going back in, but all those folks were evicted for a reason, they aren't well liked.

*Yes, an obvious statement perhaps, but the last 2 big brothers I don't think anyone has ever been surprised by a votes result.

[Lorfarius]

They have messed around with the eviction process far too much this year. I think they will need to look at the whole format of this show if they expect it to last much longer.

That may seem like the case but week in, week out theres still a hell of a lot of people phoning to vote. The show in its current state is far from a failure and as long as they keep reeling the money in then they wont change.

[El Pibe]

Oh dear. Those 600 people are probably the same freaks that boo and scream like rabid dogs as the housemates leave.

Everyone always complains that the show goes sterile each year and so C4 are mixing it up a little. I was against it at first then I thought - who actually cares, really.

I haven't voted in BB since voting Darren out in series 1.
