so long cbb don't look back

I missed last night’s show as He Who Cannot Be Named dropped round to drop off forms for Bird Watch. He joined us both when we were a couple and he didn’t bother taking my name off the membership. I’ve only seen him one other time in the last few years. We drank tea and talked solid for 2 hours. It made me smile this morning but a shit of a day quickly wiped it off until now. : )

So Eureka won and it was only the second time she smiled since arriving.

cbb day 17

It’s
Still
On

Still

Poor Verne was not well after guzzling the chillies and kept BB waiting while he did his toilet. Seems he is very regular.Today’s task was to film and direct their own blockbuster BB film with a premiere later that night. Verne was selected by the housemates to be the director and he relished the role.

They filmed entrances, Shelle crying, Ben singing, Chef slapping fans, Eureka carrying her huge ego, Verne needing the camera panning down etc. Then some ‘pivotal’ moments, reliving the quiz with, bizarrely, Verne sitting in a baby’s high chair. Amusingly they answered every question with the answer America. Tel did a marvellous Mo, easy really when he just needed to shout and swear. He took the micky out of himself too though. Apparently he has a fascinating fact for almost every moment. Verne relived the party by chatting up and kissing a doll posing as Mutya.

Shelle let it slip in her exit interview that she thinks La La fancies Chef and guess what, BB showed clips of her making up to him.

BB gave them some random tasks for l a u g h s. Tommy was asked to stand on one foot, Chef and Tell to hug for over 30 minutes, Eureka to only speak in Swedish (she said out loud ‘God how I hate you all’ – definitely her best moment on the show). La La had to repeat everything everyone said, they all had to walk backwards badda badda. Made me feel dizzy watching it.

Poor Shelle somehow seemed to know that she was leaving that night and that Davina’s face would pop onto the screen during the premiere. Eureka thought it was the men’s fault that two women were up. Ha, almost everyone nominated her. Seems Chef like she now and told her he had been wrong about her. Hmmmm. I wonder if this is gamesmanship or if he’s just trying to please the voters who kept her in three times.

There’s another * yawn * surprise eviction tomorrow. It’s a double this time. It’s hard to care when you know the two least popular characters will be giving interviews.

surprise eviction

Shelle’s out. Can’t imagine she’ll have anything to say so here’s some fascinating La La facts:

She is older than Tommy
She does not wash up at home. She has help
She trailed as a Rosser for a US reality programme and maintains that she was tough during that period but is normal now

cbb – day 16

Ben nominated Eureka as he thinks she dictates and is bossy. Shock horror, the next name was Chef because he’s sexist and doesn’t know where the joke ends.

Chef nominated Eureka as she’s in teacher mode and is used to being in charge. Shelle of course was next as he is well aware of the game that she is playing.

La La nominated Eureka as she’s controlling and is always giving her the “rolling eye”. Spot a theme? Shelle was next and is seen to be working in cahoots with Eureka ka ka.

Shelle shocked us all by nominating Chef and then picked on Tommy, no doubt because he’s pally with him.

Tel nominated Ben because of one word. Reunion, an A1 reunion. It’s the singing. He’s always singing. That would kill me. Tel then voted for Verne. Wow, is that the first time? He complained that he’s only washed up twice and insulted the English history. It’s the power Tel dislikes.

Tommy nominated Eureka for her lack of solidarity and Shelle because of her tantrums. He thinks she lacks perspective about the game.

Eureka waddled in and nominated Tel. She thinks he’s self-righteous and a bit of a know it all. Lucky she’s in there and makes him look good, human, kind and fair. Tommy was next as he ducked out of 2 dancing tasks.

Verne nominated Eureka as he feels she’s bossy and a bit Mom like. Next up was Tel.

La La got no nominations.

Eureka and Shelle are up. Man just over an hour to vote. Shame I don’t care who goes.

Chef and Tel argued over climate change with Chef insisting we are coming to the end of an age and that global warming is nonsense. Good job he waited until after nominations before turning red neck.

Sunday’s task was chilli eating. Ben didn’t want to eat his first one so Tel helpfully reminded him that cbb’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Ha ha. Chef coolly munched his way through his first. He didn’t want to flinch but his eyes watered at the end and he had to pace the room with snot running down his nose. La La did it although she did cry afterwards and repeated “it doesn’t hurt” until she was I too much pain. Verne polished his chilli off. He looked like a pro. Chef, La La, Eureka all passed on their second chillies. By the end they are had watering eyes and there was snot running down all their noses.

cbb – day 15

Terry and La La have wised up and realise that Shelle has been media trained by Jordan. She’s playing the romance and bullied angles and Chef’s walking right into his role. La La’s been infiltrating the troops with a whispering campaign and they nearly all see what Shelle’s game is.

Oooh, there’s an eviction Monday night

cbb - day 14

Verne woke up with a big hangover. He needed the gaps filling in and Terry wasn’t cruel and told him that he had hung with the girls and took the piss out of the boys. Tommy though let him know that he’d propositioned La La. BB called him into the Diary Room for an Alka Seltzer. Stubborn Verne wouldn’t take it. BB reminded him that he had ram racked the Diary Room door. Te he. One of the funniest moments of the series so far.

Mo and Mutya were moaning and moaning and moaning and moaning. Mutya threatened to walk if Davina didn’t call out her name on Friday night.

Friday’s task divided them even more with a gender splitting task to find out which sex is the bravest. They were asked to act out gender specific stereotypes, multi tasking etc.

Terry and Eureka had to memorise everyone’s DOBs. Shelle and Tommy were tested on multi-tasking, having to listen to classical music, iron and answer questions for 90 secs. Poor Shelle did not know the capital of Australia, how many eggs were in a dozen or how many days there are in a year. Although this simply means she’s thick, not that she can’t multi task.

Tommy answered the questions but was terrible with the ironing. BB let a tarantula into the task room and the housemates were required to stand there in the dark for 5 minutes. Ladies first and then the lads. BB removed the spider but didn’t let on. Only La La and Shelle from the ladies entered the room, the Witches of Eastwick didn’t have the balls. Verne, who can’t stand up for long, had to sit on the floor. So brave. The men passed the task and won 3 tokens plus a pizza and lager night for their reward. They could not share with the ladies.

Shelle and Chef were rowed again. La La pulled him one side and told him his reaction is just what Shelle wants. So that he looks like a baddy. Well, takes one to know one. La La, me think she doth protest too much. Self-projection alert. Eventually Shelle turned on the tears again. The men think he’s more irritating than intimidating. It’s only Eureka who agrees with Shelle. She stood up to him before with humour and should do it again. He believes her to be a girl who forgets that she has a boyfriend when she’s drunk. Well, he’s been around enough to stop the type.

Ben asked Mutya to break out rather than leave, for entertainment purposes. It’s by far the funniest remark he has made in the house. The men and La La think the ladies are talking it all too seriously.

Mutya’s left. One wonders if anyone will notice. Hope she’s taken the dressing gown off.

cbb - day 13

No food, no hot water living on £1 a head per day and the shopping list needs to be done. It’s boys against girls her and four women are up for eviction. The mood is awful.

Terry thinks CBB is rehab for some of the women. I reckon he means Shelle.

The women, bar La La, have paired up and broken off from the group and got their own food separately. Eureka wanted to pair up with Shelle, but she wouldn’t let her as Eureka wanted eggs and Shelle wants tuna and beans every night. She’s currently on the cover of loads of cheap mags having lost a stone before entering the house, so this really is like a spa for her. Chef was not impressed and thought that it childish and selfish as they are living on £56 in total. Again he’s got a point but he’s got to stop shouting. Looks like he really is Chef and says he has a cookbook coming out and has his own show.

Chef was trying to insist that a man read the shopping list as he didn’t trust any of the women to order his food. Mo blew her top like she’s been threatening too but then backed off quickly. This led to Chef calling her a bowling ball on legs. Ha ha. When BB called Mo into the Diary Room to cool down after she lost it, she talked really posh. Man, they all fall for it. We are watching all the time, not just the Diary Room. We know that you are as common as muck. She told the others that you wouldn’t even talk to her like Chef does if you were f**king her and paying her mortgage. Out out out!

BB gave the housemates the chance to win a flurry of brilliant prizes, including fags, booze and messages from home, if they didn’t moan for an hour. If they did moan a housemate would lose a prize, starting with B for Ben. They decided the only way to pass was to remain silent. Says it all. What a bunch of moaners. Mutya and Eureka actually wore gags, a total abuse of the first aid box. The silence made them all realise how bad their moaning had got.

The party began. Mo was thrilled at the taramasalata. Verne got pissed on champagne. They all had a message in a bottle which were opened by a housemate of their choice smashing it over their heads. Verne got La La to smash his on his arse. Chef threatened to take his bike keys away because of his drunk driving. He loves La La and is upset the other women don’t seem to like her or give her the respect she’s due. I think he has a crush on her. I’ve seen weirder couples.

Thank god for that. Mo’s out. I’m not commenting on her interview.

Thursday, January 15, 2009

cbb - day 12

Chef is big and he is clever. When the intro to Car Wash burst into the house in the middle of the night he started grooving instead of completing the task. The others are getting pretty fed up of Tommy & Chef not taking part. Even Terry had a pop. They don’t see the point in doing their tasks. I reckon Chef and Tommy want to go to prison.

Shelle likes Ben so much that she sits in the ashtray with him while he smokes stinky fags.

Eureka admitted to having had cosmetic surgery. Jesus. She should get a refund. Mutya wants a tummy tuck. Hmm, sit ups?
La La and Mutya need to complete a tune on a giant piano. La La gets all the fun things to do.

Mo thinks that her or Eureka will go tomorrow. She said that all she wanted was people to see the vulnerable side to her. Think this is a joke, surely. She doesn’t think she’s loud or objectionable, just opinionated.

Verne was dressed in a bear outfit and looked like a teddy bear.

In order for Mo and Terry to pass their task they had to get more hits on You Tube (how modern) than Eureka & Verne’s rendition of Endless Love. Mo thought that as she is on a (well past it’s sell by date) show on C4 that they should walk it. Oh dear 50K less hits. It’s plain to all to see the stars of this show and she ain’t one of em.

Mutya, still in the dressing gown, and Mo are turning on Tommy now. Moody Mutya maintains that if she’s not voted out that she will turn on the housemates who she doesn’t like. This could be everyone…mardy arse.

Ben was given a secret task. He had to scare someone. He had a long think about how to complete the task. He hid behind a chair, failing to realise that his tail was showing ….he’s dressed as a dragon for the task. He managed to scare Eureka who could have spoiled it straight away by saying was that your task? So it wasn’t just me who didn’t know what his task was. Wow all that time dressed as a dragon just for that. He’s going to watch the show back to back when he gets to see how fascinating the editing is (!).

Eureka, dressed as an Injun had to hit a target with an arrow.

They failed the task and will receive a reduced shopping budget for next week.

Soz, was a bit dull.

cbb - day 10

Huge apols for missing a day just as Sharky finds another way to procrastinate and Pappa Nicole travels abroad but a gal needs to see her mammy and pops. Last time codenamed checked out the C4 site the playback foolishly did not support Macs. So arses to them. I can’t even check forums for you as I have given up crap sites.

So, the intro says that the housemates will be throwing their toys out of their prams. Nominations are being revealed and I wondered if these things were related.

Michelle and Chef had stopped talking to each other; perhaps they’d had a row. I think he’s not letting the Benshelle thing lie and she’s lost her sense of humour over the issue and wants to walk (wonders idly if she has a signature stroll). Verne thinks Chef’s pushing her too far rather than her being a crybaby. Pah, we all know what bullies need, confront him. Eureka ka ka embarrassed Chef by calling for truce and gave Shelle a pep talk. Mo tried to talk sense into her too, with the benefit of years of experience being insulted (wonder why) behind her but really just battered her more by going on and on loudly.

Damn, the toys out of the pram thing. It was part of a task. Damn. Verne and Shelle had to dress up as bears and eat sheds loads of honey. Verne wondered what his poop would be like. Anyone know Pooh Bear? They went to see Big Bro upon the urge to hurl and were told to bear with it. Tsk.

As part of the task and they had to rush into a playpen and stay still while a load of screaming and pouting stage school kids ran around. Of course this made the fertility queen Eureka cry. It was a bit surreal seeing Verne leave the playpen…he was shorter than the walls.

Chef & Tommy had to dress up as toy cars and rush into a carwash when they heard said same song to get their costume washed for a guessed 30 seconds. It was supposed to go on through the night but I reckon they want to do a stress in pokey as they threw the task. Tommy said it just wasn’t fun, completely missing the point that it’s supposed to be fun for us and not him.

Mo and Terry danced like the ballerinas in a music box. Terry said you’ve got to be dead fit to be a ballerina. No! He got well into it and looked like a young rent boy during his routine.

The nominations are Shelle, Eureka, Mutya and Mo; cue fake smiles and cheers all round, well apart from Shelle who looked gutted. GET MO OUT.

Mutya and Ben were so dull that I didn’t get to find out what their task was. She kicked off a load of not wanting to look stupid on TV talk. Oh man, just earn your fee. She says she wants to leave. Chef told her that she couldn’t, as he likes having her around and told Shelle and Eureka they could leave. Eureka called Chef vile and a bully and the discussion got so bad that he was hauled into BB for a chat. He told BB it was bullshit and I partly agree. He threatened to shut the f**k up if they carry on complaining and pointed out that the show would then turn boring, again I partly agree.

Eventually Shelle complained about Chef. When BB asked her how she’s cope with the same problem in the outside world she said she’d walk away, which says it all. BB told her to talk to Chef. They had a serious chat with her dressed as a bear and him as a car. At last, she confronted the bully. He admitted to riling her but explained that it’s all part of his game plan. Gamesmanship, we all do it. He had to have the last word and made her apologise for calling him a bully and attempted a hug.

La La Toya, or maybe not so la la. She thinks that Shelle is not scared or bothered overly about or by Chef, but has decided to take this course of action to cover up her infatuation with Ben. Gamesmanship eh. Maybe I was right about Shelle all along. Maybe she’s a bunny boiler nutter of the Jordan variety after all. Maybe Jordan’s told her how to secure a couple of OK covers. I think that BB is sticking up for Chef as straight after La La’s revelation they showed tonnes of footage of Shelle flirting with Ben with the look of love in her eyes.

cbb - day 9 (?)

During yesterday‘s task Terry called Eureka high handed to her face. He’d previously slagged her off to Big Bro suspecting that she feels that she’s better than other people. She then gave him the evils for which he pulled her up over. They had it out and Eureka admitted that she does feel she’s better than most. Riled and embarrassed, her rage built up and she decided cold-bloodedly to take it out on Chef some time soon. She then spent the remainder of the day earning her substantial fee and entertaining us by sulking/sleeping/sulking all day. Terry, I suspect was raised a Catholic, and felt guilty for making Eureka feel uncomfortable.

La La Toya and Mo think that Michelle & Ben are in love. Michelle is apparently chasing him. Ben told BB that he does not fancy her though. It’s hard to tell if he means it, as he has absolutely no emotion in his face. Ever. Or his voice.

Mo thinks that the internet is all about porn and that Facebook users are sad. Great, that should get her out. It was not pleasant watching her picking her toenails and then biting them. Lord knows how she got her foot in her mouth. Later we watched her picking the hard skin off her feet and then putting her fingers in her mouth. The only solace is that they are finally bitching about her behind her back.

La La Toya, Chef and Verne were treated to a roast dinner and some George Formby sounds in order to learn more about British culture. Housemates had been feeding them British facts all day too for a quiz. BB brought the electric shock suits out from the last BB series and when the Americans got a question wrong the Brits got an electric shock. The yanks did not know about the shocks as they were in a different room. They needed to get 30 out of 50 in order to pass. Moanandbitchallday thought she might piss all over the floor. Nice. All that for a bit of hot water.

I wish Mutya would take her dressing gown off.

Sunday, January 11, 2009

cbb - day 8 & 9

They failed their task and are on a basic food budget this week. BB stripped the food cupboards bare and took their tokens due to loose lips, so no hot water either. Cruel BB.

Mo, short for Moanandbitchallday, is surely set to take over as the most hated housemate ever. Please can she leave next, or even better… walk. For one of the few times ever, I won’t even consider watching a second of her eviction interview. It looks almost certain that she’ll drag Mutya down with her. If Mutya goes to the dark side she will become mouthy, argumentative and moody, the exact opposite of the traits that she wants to show the public. And she’s hormonal. When she tried to get into the Diary Room and BB made her wait for 30 minutes, she retaliated by refusing to see BB when they asked for her next. Everything was f**king this, f**king that. They can keep their money. They can f**k off. Blah blah.

Foghorn Mo is completely self-delusional. She says that people only think she’s loud because of the characters that she’s played. She thinks that she’s perfect. She also thinks that she doesn’t eat much. She would star in Notting Hill II if they asked but thinks it’s shit. The only thing that she won’t do is confront Chef. She will only self-project her faults onto him and bitch behind his back. Pity Pete Burns or Michael Barrymore isn’t in there. I predict that by the end of the year Mo will look like this.
this

cbb – day 9

Terry’s reign is over. Long live Terry.

Sadly I am losing interest in the programme. Like the recent contestants in BB, this lot know the routine, know the formula. All some of them talk about is taking the money. not walking out cos of the fee, only doing it for the money etc. They seem to think they only need to turn up and some are not bothering to entertain the viewer. Big mistake. Big.

Chef has taught his kids about females telling them they come as hos, bitches or women. He’s dodged bullets. He’s a gangster. He’s been to the moon and back. He’s teasing Michelle and Ben again, making her cry again. He’s still the best housemate and isn’t sitting there counting the dosh. At least he’s entertaining. A ho magnet.

BB was worried the housemates were being lazy and gave them a dance routine to learn, Call Me – one of the filthiest soft porn music promos ever. Michelle was down the front helping Eureka choreographer. It was chaos with only Michelle & La Toya taking it seriously. Mutya looked like she is pregnant. So did Mo. It’s not pretty in there. Still they passed and got 3 tokens, until Terry and Mo lost 2 of em.

Losing the will.

cbb day 7

In a new task the housemates were required to act out the lives of the rich and famous. In a role-play Chef, Lucy and Mo played out a bizarre ritual whereby they acted as paparazzi photographing celebrities who visit mid-air in a crane. ‘Who Is She’ Nicki Graeme from BB whatever visited like a warped version of the Good Witch of the East. No one recognised her at first and she looked really upset. If there’s one place a Z list should be recognised it’s in the BB house.

As I missed most of Thursday’s show it took me a while to figure out why Tommy was wearing leggings. He had the unenviable task of learning an ice skating dance routine with La Toya. Being born into the most entertaining family in history, she took to it like a duck to water. Oh man she made him train hard and cracked the whip in scenes reminiscent of early Jackson 5 rehearsals. Ironic as she had earlier told Eureka that kids recreates the problems of their parents. She’ll probably tell us all about it by the end of the series and blow any huge advances for biographies forever. They performed Salt & Peppa’s ‘Push It’ dressed in salt and pepper pot costumes. Man this family were born to perform. Once the task was completed Tommy quite rightly pointed out that there was no need to take the training and performance as seriously as she did because BB was trying to make them look stupid. Did not compute. He doesn’t understand her at all. She wasn’t happy when he failed the task. Let’s leave it there.

Mo thinks that, unlike Chef, she has the ability to stop before she’s annoying. The funniest thing she’s said yet. She does not understand good reality TV.

Ben & Michelle were required to pretend to be a celebrity couple Benshell. Cruel BB. Mutya, yes she’s still there, and Terry were Chesney Hawk devotees and had to dance in front of a Chesney Hawk shrine.

The paps had to stake out the garden all night and tempers frayed little when Chef persisted in being loud, offensive and annoying for 36 hours. Lucy dumped Mr Lover Man, telling him it’s not you it’s me, in the last 30 minutes of the task and Michelle told Chef that Lucy had lasted a lot longer than she would. She is the person coping the best with him armed with a smile and a pretty darn humorous sarcasm that he admires. Damn, I wasn’t to expecting to warm to her. Verne farted in the Diary Room and admitted it to BB. I wonder if it was to reinforce once again to the public that he’s just a normal guy or maybe he’s tuning into Little Chef. He did say that he was going to be Mr Nice guy and then turn the behaviour around to become evil.

Eviction Night with Lucy and Eureka in a head to head

I couldn’t call it but secretly wanted Eureka ka ka out as I don’t understand who her fans are. Lucy, the Tory bitch, has a huge Google count by all accounts and has a couple of very obvious attractions. But it’s was hard to care who was evicted with this pair. Lucy admitted to being on the show to pay a tax bill and Eureka, mother of 4 children by 4 different fathers, well that’s 1 step from the social and a large case of ‘There but for the grace of God’. Eureka, really pretty without her make-up, beetach, and Lucy both seemed to want to leave. I don’t think they were trying to have any fun at all and are the 2 most affected by Chef’s increasingly appalling yet compelling behaviour. He’s trying to make them all leave so that he wins, hardly endearing but good TV. In the end it was Lucy who was evicted with 57% of the vote, but like I say, who cares. Mo should have been out first Jodie Marsh stylee.

cbb day 4 cont'd & day 5

Michelle, possibly because of the tabloid coverage of her marriage split and of general cavorting in clubs while phissed is paranoid about her coverage. Things being misconstrued like. Chef teased her about wanting to make lurve to Ben. The barriers went straight up. She probably had shagged him…not really. It soon turned into tears in the Diary Room. Chef saw her tears and suspected that he’d overdone it and planned to apologise the next day. She went to sleep hugging teddy with teary eyes.

Ben offered Mo some quick disappointing sex. Eureka looked jealous.

Live show

Davina kept me up past my bedtime for a live show. Lucy, Ben and Eureka were called to the Diary Room as Terry had nominated them for eviction. The ladies were fully made up at 11.30 so I think they suspected something was up. They were told to go to a strange room and sit in a chair with their name on. Terry, as HOH, collected a basket from the Store Room. He gave housemates a pen and some card – none for himself. Lucy, Ben & Eureka found out that they had been nominated and the reasons why LIVE, least talented, least integrity and biggest ego respectively. Great stuff. Ben was a bit shocked at having no integrity. He’s a good bloke. Hope Terry got to explain. The housemates got to save a housemate and had to decide in 30 secs who to save and write their name on the card. They were asked to turn the card over and read out the name live. Eureka and Lucy only got 1 vote each. Ben won by a landslide and saved from possible eviction.

Day 5
The next day Michelle was still upset about Chef’s Ben baiting. He apologised and it was a heartfelt moment. He had to the have the last word though “I mean who would want Ben?” Ha ha. Michelle’s really pretty without her make-up on. She’s growing on me and I was not expecting that. She handled the situation well, without drama or violence.
Seems they are all expecting another housemate to arrive.

La Toya spilt more beans, this time about her & Michael’s experience with the Jehovah Witness religion. She had doubts and stopped going. The Church told him to stop seeing her. Marlon Brando told him to ignore the Church. Different strokes. And there’s life on other planets too. Wow, she’s fulfilling all our collective fantasies of a Jackson.
Chef Rodman’s still brags about sex, guns and gangs.

Terry had a new task to be King for a day. He had to be fed and bathed. He wasn’t allowed to do a thing, not even light a fag or walk, turns out that there’s room for pillion on Verne’s scoot. I think that it got old pretty quickly but they were promised a party if they passed the task. Later BB called a housemate to the Diary Room. La Toya volunteered and was given the task of dressing as a jester for the rest of the day and making Terry laugh. Really, no need for the role play.

Eureka & Lucy were told to give Terry a massage. Terry received a slapped face from Eureka when he said “10 years ago this would have given me a lob on”. Well deserved I feel and I hope that the C4 switchboards don’t go mad. As he had nominated them both I half expected them to give him the rough treatment.

One almost forgets that Mutya’s in the house. Come on love.

I will laugh my head off if Eureka gets voted out this Friday.

The show ended on a rather sinister note. Terry and Michelle had danced at the party. Given the previous day’s tears, he told her that they had better watch it as the programme might try and make out that there something’s going on between them. All the way through the conversation, Tommy slowly put on a pair of yellow rubber gloves. Google Tommy Sheridan rubber gloves. NOW!

cbb - day 4

Chef has taken over the kitchen. Where Rex would bark, Chef makes the food with lurve, or peanut butter. Terry was going to do a stir-fry and Mutya was going to cook too. They shrugged it off when Chef did chicken curry but it gave Mo and Eureka a great opportunity to slag him off again. They seem to spend all day bitching and moaning together.

The complete bolt from the blue is Mo being the new Jodie Marsh. Nothing that’s ever happened to her is her fault. She’s loud as people said she was loud. She can’t control her food because of things that happened to her. Victim mentality all over. And like Jodie, she thinks everyone wants to shag her(!). That people flirt with her because she looks dirty. Ew, I feel dirty now.

So far Terry has put Eureka ka ka and Lucy up for eviction. Today he had to choose the housemate with the least integrity by watching secret Diary Room footage. He selected 3 who he thought most likely to lack that quality. They were then called into the Diary Room for a chat with BB. Terry chose the youngsters Ben, Michelle & Mutya as he thought them most likely to be insincere or whatever because of their youth. Ha, he’s obviously not been listening to Mo.

Verne talked about working with Heath Ledger. They were working on the same film when he died. Aw. He did ruin the moment a little by telling the tale while wearing his sunglasses indoors, in Arctic Britain.

La Toya. La Toya. La Toya. CBB is not a counselling session. Telling the world that your husband forced you to marry him and smacked your head against a desk when you asked for an annulment is not entertainment. Please just go get some help. Pappa Nicole thinks she’s lying but I’m convinced she believes it’s all true in her mind.

The housemates had to imitate each other. Tommy’s impression of La Toya was very George Galloway. Terry was called into the Diary Room to collect his reward for their success in the task. It was a yummy Thai meal and booze. Terry, the cad, asked BB to show the other housemates footage of him eating. He does have a wicked streak. Tommy, who spotted he’d been in there for a while, suspected he was being given a secret task as “nothing like that has happened yet”. Ha. Terry had a few beers and was then called to his room to watch the secret footage of the housemates in order to chose the one with the least integrity. During her Diary Room chat Michelle laid into Chef, saying he farts, talks gun and sex too much and is aggressive with people. Luckily she did not slag off Terry. Mutya especially was lovely about him, so much that he nearly cried. Ben was kind too. It was a stroke of genius getting him to watch the footage after a couple of drinks. BB called Terry on a phone in his bedroom for his decision. He didn’t want to choose any of them but plumped for Ben as he thinks he won’t get evicted.
It’s a live show with Davina next, update tomorrow.

cbb - day 3

Chef flirts indiscriminately with all women and will brag and boast as required. It’s not all salty chocolate balls fun though. As mentioned previously he is also a little Dennis Rodman. Chef Rodman reckons he lost his virginity at 12. Eureka told him his nose was growing. Filthy. Wash your mouth out dear. Chef went through his various walks and limps that are so fashionable with younger men, signature stroll as he calls them. Poor Verne felt a bit left out.

Eureka thinks she looks like a tranny in make up. Mo thinks she has a great arse(!) They were comparing their spaniel ears, one set from weight loss, one set from 4 kids. Nice.

La Toya suspects that Tommy, Eureka and Mo will not be able to bite their tongue for long. Good call.

Part 2 of the current task saw Terry choosing the least talented housemate as his second nomination. He’s thought of admitting the whole deception to the housemates; throw himself on his sword so to speak. Unbelievable, get a grip man. Housemates gave a performance based on what they are known for outside the house. Lucy was to give her views on the Labour party with a pair of briefs as her prop. Chef performed his hit, Eureka’s gave a weather report. Michelle was to sing Just a Little Bit. Mutya & Ben, one of their songs. Verne & Mo were Romeo & Juliet. La Toya sang You’ve got to be Starting Something.

While getting into their costumes, Michelle commented that Mo looked like the princess from Shrek. Chef loved it, saw it as a diss and tried to ensure that everyone else saw it as a diss by laughing loudly. Michelle saw what he was trying to do and tried to wriggle out of it by saying she was just talking about the dress, but it’s true, Mo looked just like the princess out of Shrek. Once she’d decided to be with Shrek. Her Juliet was better than expected. The fuss made Michelle cry and I think it might turn into all out war between Mo & Chef. Battle of the Chefs. Who will be the main course?

Verne couldn’t remember his words. Aw. Mutya was fantastic. Ben grabbed his crutch and did a strip, ensuring that henceforth we all think of him as a serious recording artist. Michelle gave an eye-popping performance. On a CBB show yesterday we discovered that she didn’t make the cut on the record and just performed a few whispers, so she really did Just a Little Bit. La Toya’s was great entertainment but perhaps not the kind that she’d intended.

Terry chose Lucy as the least talented. It was somewhat predictable seeing as she’s a Tory bitch who tried and failed to slate the Labour party. It was a toss up between her, La Toya & Verne for the least talented but Terry won’t betray his principles for a show, well not useless it would be funny. That’s why I doubt Tommy will be up for eviction this week. Sorry bookies.

cbb - day 2

Eureka wears a horrible expression on her face, that of distain. I think it’s the way her face naturally falls.

Chef thinks he’s a bit of a comedian. He’s a definite performer. Oh and a flirt. He’s been flirting with Eureka. She told him she was married but he couldn’t see her ring. Outraged she exclaimed, “it’s the longest I’ve had it on”. I thought she, 3 times married, meant the longest ever, but she meant in between chores for her 7 month old child.

Mo bragged about getting more than £30,000 for her CBB appearance. Claims of this nature during a credit crunch will cost you votes La. “Shows what they [the tabloids] think I’m worth” she complained. Hello, that would be £10K a week. Who will vote for her now? Apart from Scousers.

Poor La Toya claims she was badly beaten by her husband and locked away in rooms. Oh man, it’s all spilling out of her mouth. I thought C4 wouldn’t show libellous material. Poor Mutya couldn’t bring in half her wardrobe because of a few labels, yet Mo and La Toya can slate real human beings. Mo joined the slag off your ex partner club too but was less explicit.

Terry made a joke about poor sales on Chef’s last album. Wonder what he do if he finds out.

Terry has to decide which of the Housemate has the most inflated ego. He filmed CBB end credits with a complex credit star system that they all need to agree on. Michelle and Mutya and Tina suggested that they be extras. Tommy barked and bullied them into doing it all alphabetically, soooo democratic. This made Ben, who everyone had forgotten about, the star.

Terry has to film the credits. Naughty La Toya (of Playboy fame) suggested filming in his private room. Tut tut, this lost them half their prize. Only HOH is allowed in that room. Terry tried to get out of selecting a housemate saying they are all in there because they have big egos and low self esteem. Oh man I should be in there. In the end he chose Eureka as the housemate with the biggest ego. Good choice. She does seem to feel she’s above it all.

Tommy is the bookie’s favourite to go first but Terry may not nominate him. Terry is a contradiction. While he wanted to keep it quiet that he was HOH, so that he could get them into trouble he also spouts socialist stuff from time to time and Tommy’s lefty tendencies may save him this week. Tommy goes on and on about having been in prison. Why? Ah, I see, to brag about the political motive. I see.

Mo has brought hundreds of fags. It’s sickening really. Actually Michael Barrymore and Pete Burns helped me give up smoking for a few months once so carry on gal. If just one person gives up…

Day 3 – live treat

I’m having a day off doing nothing much but pottering and am spending it on the couch with trusty laptop, so I have a special CBB Little Bro & live footage action update. Not quite sure how I feel about Michael Barrymore being a roving reporter for CBB Little Bro. Apart from anything, surely his delivery is a little Kerry Katona.

Coolio, or Chef (from Southpark) as I think of him now, didn’t get to cook his signature dish Peanut Butter Chicken Love as Mo cooked roast chicken for Sunday lunch. I’m not sure I’d trust her with the saltcellar and oil. She does seem to be incredibly anal in the cooking and cleaning area. I’m right with her on that. She could look to Eureka ka ka for tips on how to camouflage a stomach without wearing a tent. After serving everyone his or her food, someone spotted a whole chicken still in the oven. I’m not saying anything. No need, she’s wearing a gastric band see. Most likely to be an agro version of carole.

La Toya wanted kids but never found the right person. Sob, I’m with you girl. She has repeatedly said that CBB is the best thing that ever happened to her as she’s around other people? She gets out even less than me. I wonder how long she will last. She has a cold and must be a bit worried about her nose falling off when she blows it.

Ben is 27. Time to give up smoking dear (I speak as someone who is petrified of starting again rather than a born again). He gave a cousin of his a photo of himself for Christmas once. Taking the piss out of himself (quoting) he wrote on it “thanks for last night”. I wonder if his ego will clash with the monster size of Chef’s. He takes himself very seriously as a musician and mentioned being in a studio all day at times. Now I’d hate to judge his ability because of his boy band past so I’ll try not to. Most likely to do a Les Dennis.

The housemates are tagged. This could turn out to be brilliant. They can work out who has been in the bathroom the most, the least. Who has been alone the most, or asleep the most etc. I should imagine that they could get cruel at some point and tell us how long Terry’s soliloquies are undoubtedly going to be, or how long Michelle’s been in front of the full length mirror.

The first task is excellent. Terry has to decide who has the biggest ego and this will nominate them for eviction, secretly.

Day 1 cont’d

It’s hard to imagine what could go wrong with this group, TV-wise. It seems that they will be entertaining but I suppose one can never tell with this programme. Apparently you can get a bet on that the series will be pulled from the air half way through.

La Toya is, as expected, intriguing. She’s 52 but looks and acts like a schoolgirl. While she is a Jackson through and through and claims to have never been in a group this large that isn’t her family, she seems quite at ease. More at ease than I would be. I think she likes people. I wouldn’t be surprise if she made having her own room a condition of entry though. Hope she stops banging on about the whole thing being a challenge for her. The only thing that I remain curious about is whether or not she discussed Jermaine’s CBB experience with him or not. I mean he was there the Shilpa Shetty year. How would discussing that make La Toya want to join the show? Or maybe David Gest, best contestant ever, talked her into it? Cannot wait to see La Toya nominate. Then we’ll see how nice she is.

Didn’t see too much of Mutya last night. We just know that she dresses like Liz MacDonald, is a staunch member of the smoking club and hasn’t lost her temper yet. She claims that she wants people to know that she isn’t like her tabloid created personality. Last time that we heard that kind of talk was from Jodie Marsh, so hmmm.

Mini Me, Verne, likes to be independent and has been very patient with everyone talking to him like he’s stupid or a small child. Hopefully it won’t last. Tommy almost took on the Mario / Mikey role ‘THERE’S SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE WITH A DISABILITY PEOPLE’ role but managed to get out the hole he’d almost dug in the end. BB has made Verne use a motorised bike to get around the house, so we’ll see how he gets on with it. By the looks of the tabloid exposes Verne seems to be a very capable man.

I’m not sure if Tina knows how the nighttime cameras work. I really don’t want to see any more shots of her in her undies or with her arse showing. Put it all away love. Shameless indeed. Her smoker’s cough is hideous too. She seems really unhealthy. She thinks she is a laugh a minute, your typical jovial Scouser, so how long before she will be asked to calm down, calm down. I’m sure she’ll lose her temper soon over some injustice or other.



Coolio appears to have a sensi weed growing out of the top of his head. He brought condoms into the house and has claimed not to watch the programme. He seems like a really fun and quite normal guy but I’m expecting him to go a bit Dennis Rodman at some point, ie sex talk gone wrong. His ego does seem to have no boundaries at all. He wants to be the chef and reckons he’s good. Could be ructions if he’s not allowed. I see he’s a Leo too. Damn, giving Leo’s a bad name as attention seekers and controllers. Pah.

Michelle Heaton grabbed a big old glass of champagne to help prove to us all that she’s not a pisshead. Rock on.

Terry Christian is the first CBB Head of House as he showed civilian qualities by not grabbing a bed for himself. He has his own room, cannot be voted out on the first eviction and is the only housemate who can nominate the first time. I wonder if he’ll lord it over them all or if he’ll be uncomfy with his new found power. Will his word be The Word (arf) etc. He’s from a big Irish family so it could go either way. I wonder if his throne will be up on Tuesday when there’s a late night show on? For some reason it’s a bit surreal seeing him in the Diary Room chair.

Ulrika has been true to form and has been cracking on with a load of sex jokes. I wonder if she’ll put the boot into Sven and Nancy like she did with her NOTW column for ages, or whether she’s over that now she’s married.

Not sure what to make of Tommy and Lucy yet and Ben (singer song writer on his bio) only featured once on Saturday’s programme. He’s conventionally pretty so the voters, mainly teenage girls I think, may vote for him anyway. Plus anyone who fancied him in his boy band days. Tommy is only 44 yet looks like a pensioner. I’m wondering if he likes a wee dram.

Steve Strange is apparently on stand by, so they are expecting someone to walk.

Day 1

Well, I was really happy to hear the theme tune. I’m not ashamed. I’m not proud either. I am at one with the programme.

Davina appeared to be wearing Pete Burn’s endangered species coat from BB5.

The token system is still in place.

Davina spoke to us weirdly, saying odd things like the . house . mates . do . things . we . watch .them . they .will . win. What .do .houses . need? Housemates. Why did Davina talk to us so slow . ly at times. I mean, I know CBB has got a bad rep, but that doesn’t all mean we are all really stupid if we are watching. It doesn’t.

No way! La Toya. She’s in! So shiny. So squeaky. Doesn’t like white food. They booed her. Walks like a trucker. Nabbed the private room. Oh man. Looks identical to Michael. Oh dear, thinks if you whisper it won’t be picked up.

MUTYA from the Sugababes. Only 23, after all these years, only 23. Badly out of shape. Has bingo wings. Tattooed (14) freak. Has 8 dogs. Say’s she’s peaceful – we’ll see. Looks like Bet Lynch.

Mini Me. He won me over in seconds. I was so scared but he’s charming and has a nice smile and happy eyes. He had to drag his bag. Literally couldn’t carry it. Couldn’t go up the stairs. Bless. Must be a favourite to win I suppose.

Mini Me and La Toya know each other.

TOMMY Sheridan, geezer from the perjury rap in the Scottish courts and the NOTW adultery trial. Yawn. Reminds me of the murderer in Corrie. Doesn’t he know CBB did bugger all for George Galloway. I’m not wrong on that am I? Oh my God he’s friend’s with Galloway. Makes no sense to me. He got booed. No one in the house recognised him.

Lucy Pinder. ? Oh, a booby model. Seems quite bright. But she’s a Tory bitch. By all accounts very successful and popular in which case I think this is a huge mistake.

BEN former member of boyband A1. Just bragged about having ‘dropped’ a couple of tracks with Alexandra the X Factor winner. Why do that – Cowell won’t like it.

Ben and Mutya seem to have some history – unless I’m imagining it.

TINA, Mo from Brookside and now in Shameless. OCD and hormonal. Oh, and I thought I was going to hate her. Excellent. Not sure of her motives in doing the show though, unless it’s to show off her 4 stone weight loss – but I doubt it (surely not). Claims to be healthy but man how could one be looking like that?

COOLIO of Gangsta’s Paradise hit fame. Oh dear, compared himself to God. His favourite song is his 1 hit. Claims not to watch the programme. Says he has sold over 30 million. Wonder if that’s all the 1 single? Must be broke. Knows Mini Me too. What a weird love in: Mini Me; Coolio & La Toya. Davina dobbed him right it in by revealing he lives in Herts.

MICHELLE, Grotesque. Spotted her getting botox on the Jordan reality tv programme (I no longer watch – it’s too awful, even for me). Had to remind us why she’s famous – Liberty X. Wears a lot of make up. Wants to prove she’s not a piss head. Oh oh. I fear she self-projects here.

TERRY Christian from The Word. Excellent. I’m expecting a good performance here. Looks old, I bet he smokes. Expects to win. Think he can too unless he’s too Pete Burns like. After the non-entity of Deni Behr in I’m a Celebrity the public will wonder what to expect.

ULRIKA Johnson. I don’t like her. Then she shamed me by saying it’s a shame people prejudge her without knowing her. Pah. Then I remembered thatI read her appalling column in the NOTW so I do know her and I hate her. There’s not enough beds for her!

No STEVE Strange. What a shame.

There’s going to be a Head of House. Last one to grab a bed is it and will live in a secret house and other stuff to do with nominations.

Davina will see us on Tuesday.

new ways (click me)

I've decided that I am no longer prepared to gamble! The purple is going. TODAY.

I am hoping to see some action, I mean, results, by Saturday.

Keep everything crossed for me, as well, I have explained. x

Later that night...It's so weird not having a purple bedroom. It's been that colour for over 10 years. Had a purple rope light around it at my old flat. Ahhhh.
