Oh dear how desperate can they be to get these Z list celebrities and fly them from America and New Zealand.

I was watching the second part of "three men in a boat" on BBC2 instead, it was funny!


Did I hear there is a celebrity in the BB house who is not really even a celebrity?

That's true Cherry, and I'm pig sick as that's exactly what I suggested to my mom that they should do when it was on last time! I should have written in and suggested it, I might have made a fortune! Mind you, with the likes of Faria Alam and Jodie Marsh in, how will they tell who the fake is?

There isn't a good line up this year, I dont know who some of the people are. Who is Traci, Rula and Preston? I just about know who Dennis is. Last years line up was quite good really.

Rula Lenska is an old actress, popular in the 70s and late 80s. Famous for her on/off relationship and marriage to Dennis Waterman of Minder and 'write and sing da feem toon' fame. Never heard of the other two.

Thanks smurfy 

I dont like Jodie Marsh, she looks awful.

Wait til you see her without slap on. She is genuinely ugly.

Her nose and lips are yuck! Least Jordans face looks normal!

I have just been informed that Traci used to be on Baywatch.

You mean you don't remember their hit from last year "Your mother's got a pe**s"?? It was such a classic.

Did you hear how the DJs on radio 1 (in the afternoons, standing in for Scott Mills) mixed "journey through RnB" with the theme tune from Button Moon? Genius!

The fake celeb has been found out on BB

Title: Big Brother
Post by: loulou on January 06, 2006, 03:13:07 pm
so soon.How? she had to fool them until Sunday or be evicted
Title: Big Brother
Post by: chocolate chick on January 06, 2006, 03:15:33 pm
She told one that her single had got to 47 and the other 58. 
Title: Big Brother
Post by: loulou on January 06, 2006, 03:19:37 pm
Well she didn't have to go into details. She only had to pretend to be in a group called Kandyfloss. Obviously she has elaborated a bit much and tripped herself up.

Quote from George Galloway:

Sadly he's probably correct

The thing is she could easily have said, 'oh sorry, i meant our second single got to number 58'. It was easy enough to dig herself out of.
Title: Big Brother
Post by: loulou on January 06, 2006, 04:39:49 pm

So is she being evicted tonight?

George Galloway is an obnoxious gobsh*te who should be in Parliament representing his constituants, not lounging around for weeks on a second-rate Tv show with a bunch of even more hopeless and pointless has-beens

Title: Big Brother

Exactly - he gets paid enough to do it!

Was Michael Barrymore on some kind of ego trip or what when he went in?


Thought he was never going to go through the door!

I heard something about there usually being an upside down gnome in the swimming pool but they took it out this time so as not to upset Barrymore.
Title: Big Brother
Post by: loulou on January 07, 2006, 07:37:03 pm
Who do you think will win? I think it will be Barrymore or Traci.

Traci probably.

he is a bit emotional but i am sure he wouldn't want a drink

I think Pete is in with a chance, would be very suprised if Barrymore wins.

What's all the fuss about Pete's coat?
Title: Big Brother
Post by: chocolate chick on January 10, 2006, 02:19:32 pm

Its made of Gorilla skin.


I would like to see Maggot win. He has not received a vote in the nominations. He seems quite sweet really. 

Title: Big Brother
Post by: loulou on January 10, 2006, 07:00:04 pm
I can't decide if I like any of them now. Jodie marsh has a nose like a ski slope and very bad skin doesn't she?

I don't like Jodie Marsh, she is coming across very badly.

I preferred last years contestants. I know my parents haven't tuned in this year, due to the fact they don't know who half the people are!

Title: Big Brother
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 11, 2006, 11:25:16 am

I have not watched any of the Celeb BBs, they don't really appeal to me. I would like to watch one episode of the new ones though, just to see what everyone is like, I just haven't had the time yet. Maybe one look will get me hooked?


I have watched the last 2 series of non-celeb BB though.

Title: Big Brother
Post by: chocolate chick on January 11, 2006, 02:01:03 pm
I don't feel the need to watch it every day like I do with the non celebs. I have only seen about 2 or 3 episodes so far.

I feel that Big Brother has turned into a cruel freak show. This series in particular has been populated by sad has-beens who are scraping the barrel of celebrity exposure, hoping for a come back.


It reminds me of Victorian days when you could go an view the lunatics in Bedlam for entertainment.

Hey Lou!


I know what you mean. Having the fake celeb was a good idea, but it didn't work because the others were so obscure you could hardly tell which one it was!

Can sometimes be the best way! It's a shame going to America is so expensive. It cost over a grand to go to New York for the weekend! I have seen cheaper deals though. 
Title: Big Brother
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 20, 2006, 01:43:17 pm
When we travel in Europe we book everything ourselves, not through a travel agent, so usually it's cheaper that way. Have never been outside Europe though, so don't know if I would be confident to do that with the Canada trip. We'll see!
Title: Big Brother
Post by: chocolate chick on January 20, 2006, 01:47:23 pm
David booked our trip through a travel agent. It was for my 21st so I think he wanted it all to be perfect. But if we went again I think I would book online, or at least give it a go!

I used to love the bizareness of going for gold. Usually one contestant whose first language was English, and 3 other foreign contestants (sure a disadvantage there!) And wasn't the idea that in the first series the prize was tickets to the olympics of that year?
