The Doc

a little long but an interesting prediction how current trends in the web will evolve

kebab

Well Jade has gone, not surprising, but she did only get 82% of the votes, which is high, but Sleazer last year got 92%.

I was a bit pissed off that we were denied out eviction, she could hadle the boos. I feel the whole racism thing is way out of control, and now just a press story, it has no substance. She said some silly things, that technically were rasicit, but she didnt have issues with Shilpa becuase she was Indian. And why wasnt Jermaine picked up on saying that he was glad “someone else of colour” was in the house?

It’s a twisted world. I thought Jade handeld herself well in the interview and I also think this isnt the end of her career. And when Shilpa gets out and I’m sure they will do some sort of joint interviews together. There is even talk of a bollywood movie with Jade and Shilpa in it.

Ho hum. At the moment i am enjoying watching Dirk be grumpy. Am a day behind at the moment, been watching the two Pirates movies. Might catch up tonight.

The show has been lacking evictions, but i guess thats cos so many people have walked or escaped.

Ho hum

shilpa

BB has it’s story this year, but as usual blown out of all proportion.

The problem is more bullying rather than racism, with the younger girls deciding they dont like Shilpa so anything she does gets criticised and picked up on. However it’s not nice to watch the three being nasty and bitching about Shilpa when she doesnt seem to do anything to deserve such treatment. I think a lot of it (especially from Jade) is due to the issues Shilpa had with Jackiey and Jade feels she has to maintain the barrier to respect her mum.

I don’t even think it’s worth going on about. The three look bad because of it, and it will be interesting to see Davina bring it up in the interviews.

The task yesterday was ok, I found it amusing how Danielle was getting upset because her boob popped out when she posed topless for playboy. I thought the tribute band task was very good, and the Steps band deserved the prize more than the Jacksons.

I want the game to start a bit more, nominations etc. Traditionaly thats a tuesday show, but not sure with the shorter celeb version.

Not sure whats happening with the shopping, I wonder who will walk? The celebs do seems to be getting booze everynight and even spirits, perhaps a contract thing.

Hope it doesnt leak, i think mine would have been tubes rather than the angels, easier to clean.

Leo the nob

What a nob, I can’t express how much Leo has pissed me off. Up his own arse Leo, the guy who thinks that Britain adores him, that everyone in the country has a poster of their beloved “boy” on their walls.

Anyway, he has done a runner. He walked so now he won’t face the crowd of hate that awaited him.

I’m am glad he has gone, but wanted him to know that Britain didn’t know who he was and now they hate him and think he is a prick.

Grrrrrr

Leo

So Jade and Mother have moved into the hosue, her boyfriend has also moved it but with all his contributions he might as well have waited outside. I’m not too keen on the split of the house at this stage but it certainly rustles some feathers. Donny jumped the fence, big deal.

I like Jade, ever since she was flashing her kebab on the sofa, even some of her other shows are entertaining. He mum is a different story, she is a bit thick and that thickness causes problems. She claims to not be able to say Shilpa’s name and at first refused to say it. But i don’t think she realises how rude that is and takes offence when being challenged for it.

It must be hard for Jade as she can see her mum is not making a good impression, but she is her mum so what can she do? (perhaps think about it before agreeing to do the show)

Leo is a right nob, Dirk was saying how Leo interupts people and in an incredible display of a two year old refused to talk. Now he is moaning how he was “miss-led” by the producers and should receive comfort no lower than what he is used to (has he never seen the show)

I like the way he came into the house as a bit of a joker and trying to be the wacky zany crazy one, but he is turning into a right sour-puss.

I hear Ken has left, Sunday’s show showed him having a bit of a flip at Jackiey (Jade’s mum). And to be honest she would drive me mad as well.

Oh well.

Ken

I am a bit of a Big Brother fan… well “bit” is a bit of an understatement, to say its the highlight of my year would be a bit of an overstatement but its not far off.

Ever since season one I have watched, discussed and bitched about it. I love the format, presentation, music, twists and the big big hype machine that holds it all together.

Anyway, winter is here which means we are graced with Celebrity Big Brother again. Which although is not true Big Brother, many of the celebs are so vague they could easily be regular contestants, and the way of Big Brother will make them personalities rather than celebrities very quickly.

Everyone is talking about Donnie (at present he has just escaped from the house refusing to be Jade’s servant). And I am disappointed. He was a big nob when he entered the house, but very watch-able and easy to hate. Yet when he sobered up seemed like a nice guy with potential.

Daniel the “WAG” is what she is, thick with simple life ambitions to suck footballers dicks and spend their pennies. But her stupidity is again entertaining (she posed nude for playboy but didn’t think you would be able to “see anything” in the pictures). I am also enjoying Ken, a bumbling old man, and Jermaine seems to not quite understand what he is doing or where he is. And I hope Jade does a good job, she is watch-able in everything she does, perhaps her naivety is a little staged at times but I don’t care. BB and its housemates are there to entertain me, and I have only passing curiosity to what happens when they leave, but when they are in the house they are my property and I can love and hate them as much as i want.

I can’t really comment about it much as not much has happened, we have had three shows, two focusing on the housemates entering the house and one showing the first night and morning. But more will come.

The group has big potential, a strange mix that only BB could pull together. Other celeb shows don’t quite grasp the concept (well maybe I’m a Celebrity get me out of here).

If you are having problems with word press spam (computer generated “comments” advertising the usual spam shit) I can not recommend akismet enough. Daniel pointed me towards it after a previous post

It’s great and works very well, you do have to register with WordPress to get a certain key, but its all free and saves me sorting through it myself.
