Nearly there, my 13 week relationship with a house in Elstree Studios is coming to an end. I’m still gonna vote for Brian to win, he has provided the most entertainment, both in his innocent stupidity and general personality.

Brian or the twins will win, Liam does seem to have lots of support but only cos of his looks, and he does have a nasty side to him. This week he made sure Jonty didn’t get the prize of the photo album, Ziggy gave it to Jonty, yet Liam kept taking it back and giving it to Ziggy. And when Ziggy and Liam were looking at it and reminiscing, poor Jonty was left in the cold again. Liam then defended Jonty saying he was a top bloke, but completely ignored him and spoke to Brian when Jonty tried to express his feelings. Not cool.

It has been a quietish week, but very amusing, BB has given them good tasks every day such as the BB quiz and the BB movie, both raising laughs and highlighting the many things that have happened in what seems a quieter than usual BB.

C4 have pulled CBB next year, they say its for “creative breathing space” but also due to the Jade and Shilpa issues this year. Could this be the end of Big Brother. It seems if they are quick to pull CBB they may pull the regular BB. This year has not been as high profile as previous years, again this is C4 not wanting any more bad publicity with the press waiting for them to screw up somehow. But has the format run it’s course. I personally would like them to bring it up to ten seasons and then be done with it. Would be nice to follow the US version as have an allstars series with people from all previous years back together. It could work. Or some more bigger twists like two houses each full of ex partners of the other house.

I was quite excited about the potential of the house this year with rumors of stairwells, lofts, tunnels, indoor pools connecting rooms etc. Perhaps this will teach me to not read so much into the internet hype before the season starts.

Oh well. I am looking forward to not having to watch BB every day (saturdays off this year was a blessing). Not looking forward to changing my wallpaper from the BB eye and removing the two quick links i have in my browser to the C4:BB site and the digitalspy forums.

I wonder how many “dirty macs” will be pausing that moment and “enjoying it”

Amusing, irritating and infectious

Some nice ideas, never made one myself, might give it a try

I had no idea this kind stuff existed (and Savage Garden, yay)

Saw sundays BB and it has some quality moments, Tracey getting twatted, Kara’s loose tongue, but the real lols came with Brian and this word task.

(also this is my first youtube video post, how exciting, the process was pretty easy, uploaded a 10mb mov, not sure what will come out of the other side though)

Judging by the frequency of my BB posts, this may be my penultimate entry.

It has been a bit of a struggle recently, as usual all the bg characters get voted out of the show early on, so you are left with the stragglers. People who don’t really do too much and therefore give fellow housemates little to nominate them for and last till the end. Remember Anthony from BB6? He was a total waste of space, and his win, a low point in BB. Dare the twins take his title as the most unworthy housemate? It could be. I do not dislike the twins, but they have not been very entertaining. Though they have been coming out a bit in the past week, but if they win they will be a spitting image of them as they entered the house. Holding hands and whooping all the time. The interview will be dull as they have not really achieved anything, grown up or apart, no changes, just more whooping, squealing and tedious chat “defo, love it, party, cringe, whoo!”.

The only worthy winners would be Brian or Carole. Brian because he has been one of the more entertaining housemates, and Carole because she has been a moany bitch, but also does show funny sides… and let face it, is not your typical wannabe big brother winner as i can’t see Nuts magazine running to sign her up (though maybe the Daily Sport, remember Lizzie Bardsley from early Wife Swap).

I don’t like Ziggy, maybe its because of his crap conversational skills, or for just being a plum. Liam is ok, but he is only ok, nothing special. Tracey has done well to get this far but it too shut off from the house to be “our” champion of BB8. Jonty is weird and Kara is too fresh, though even if she went in in week one she would end up as a fifth or six week evictee.

Time will tell.

I am a little disappointed at the pool extension, I was expecting another house behind the pool (saw early construction pics showing the pool extend into the house, so knew something was happening) but no it was a puny little bar. Is there going to be a loft? Davina made a reference to the target being of importance and again on plans there was a spiral staircase.

It looks like the contestant to be voted in by the public via a youtube style website where anyone can apply seems to have fizzled. I remember this being announced a while before the show started in a similar vain to last years golden ticket. (I do feel i repeat myself something regarding BB, have a feeling I have typed “last years golden ticket before)

Anyway, its on now, so better go watch.

Have fun
