Oh, that much has gone without saying since series one. But there’s something [evil] about it that makes me watch them talk utter bollocks for hours.

Consider me onside on the nutter with a chainsaw idea.

When the first one was on, it seemed like a huge deal for people to go to it - for the last one, I didn’t think there was as many people there. I could be wrong…

Oh my … well yes, they are very sexy… I think most English accents are (not all but I won’t offend anyone by saying which ones lol)… _blushes at Em_

I can’t believe I’m going to miss the first two weeks of Big Brother. Stupid two-week holiday on a stupid Greek island.

Does anyone else think that Orkney boy (Cameron) has an accent that sometimes sounds like he is Welsh? Or is it just me?

I have a side bet on the Dublin boy (Ray) winning, made after a full 4 minutes in. **Aro-ette** has her money on Cameron.

What’s all your predictions early on?

Ahh another BB year.

Right my impressions so far.

Get those fucking SMS messages off E4 NOW. Money grabbing gits.

The house is nicer and the 33% smaller front room is better. I’ve been looking for things like unused doors in the garden etc. to indicate the house getting spilt again but haven’t seen anything yet, anyone?

They did seem to go for a group that’s friendlier on the eyes this year. Only Sissy is getting on my tits. Everyone else is grand so far with my 3 being:

Nush(Blond) :- What a honey. A real cutie in every way. Seems very together.  
Ray:- Well duh.  
Cameron:- A clever gentleman. Really nice guy.

I doubt Anouska will go on fri. unless the voters have changed the way they vote. Whether the person deserves to go or not really doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is entertainment e.g. Spencer was very popular last year but when he and Alex went head to head he had to go as Alex was going insane at the time and making great TV. I’d guess Jon will go on fri. as he’s the one out of the nominees that’s the quietest and he was also a bit of a smug git in the Diary room last night, “Next” :rolleyes:

Way too early to call but I’ll go out on a wire and say the the final 4 will be:

Ray  
Tania  
Nush  
Cameron  
Steph

The winner. Ray/Nush

Next week I’ll name totally different names 😉

9 weeks wohoo and **Francesca** the first few weeks are always nowhere near as good as the rest so go off enjoy your hols keep up to date on the web and come back for the fireworks.

I was wondering who was the gay member if any.

It looks like it could be Frederico.

I was watching Channel 4’s excellent film version of John Adams’ opera _The Death of Klinghoffer_ last weekend. As the dying strains of this particularly poignant and topical work faded away, the next sound we hear is the jolly C4 announcer: “Well, they’ve been in there a week!”. From the sublime to the fucking ridiculous. Who the hell programmed BB between _Klinghoffer_ and _Six Feet Under_?

Would I…seal up the doors and leave them all there to starve for the greater benefit of the gene pool? Absolutely. Especially if the program makers are included in that as well.
