She thinks that peacocks see out of the eye markings on their feathers.
Alex’s masterful response: “How can a fucking peacock have eyes in their fucking feathers?”
And yet Chris Moyles and his crew on Radio 1 are still hounding to get Adele out.
Vote Jade. I think it will be amazing fun to see her face when she is confronted with all the stupid things she has said in the house.
One other question:
On the coverage at night, the sound is killed for periods of it, with a disclaimer saying it is for “legal reasons”.
Can someone tell me what these reasons may be?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I haven’t read all the posts in this thread
Thanks.
Libellous statements about public figures or to preserve the privacy of friends/relatives of the housemates who are being discussed.
I dread to think what the crowd’s reactions will be when Jade finally gets evicted, especially after how upset she was on hearing the "Get Jade out!’'s of last week’s eviction. But the media isn’t exactly having to invent stuff for the public to hate about her. Jade is a thick bitch, to the point of a learning disability, but that’s not the problem I have with her. If anything, the stupidity gaffes almost endear her to me, as it is hardly her fault she’s a complete moron. But last year, Helen showed you can be under-endowed in the IQ department, but not be totally lacking in interpersonal skills. Jade is a cow and a half, and I don’t think she deserves being thrown to the wolves, but it is part and parcel of being a BB contestant - if you are going to compete for 70grand, you have to take the knocks involved. As for her youth, when you consider she is only 13 months younger than Kate (top bird imho), it kind of squashes the ‘But she’s only young’ argument.
Will I watch her eviction? Definitely. Will I be cringing? Yes, I hated it when Lynne got booed by a few people, and had to watch from behind a cushion. If the producers have any class (which I think we all realise is emphatically not the case), they would strictly limit the crowd-size on nights Jade is up for eviction. But after Sophie’s eviction night, where Jade was telling her “I think you’re really pretty. No, I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t mean it” so soon after she’d been bitching to Adele about Sophie looking like a dog’s dinner, I can’t produce an awful lot of sympathy for her.
Deeeeiii…Fuuuiirryyy fuuuurrrrrrrr:
Glad to see my BB guru back in da house ! Greetings, O wise Yojimbo ! - and tell me it wasn’t you holding up the ‘I wanna shag the Pig’ banner outside the BB house last Friday evening ?
I’ve now caught up with most of the weekends events. Holy smoke ! Jade’s mother and Ozzy Osbourne – separated at birth ???
…so much to say, so little compunction to write it all down. Perhaps that’s the true value of the BB experience – ingest, like a Big Mac, in real time but then move on as quickly as possible…But, what about that booing on Friday…ugly indeed.
Interesting, for me, that the press and radio had so little influence on the last eviction. This, probably unreasonably, reminds me of current ‘received wisdom’ about politics and, for example, the Euro i.e. that the influence of Murdoch, etc is somewhat over-egged. Most people form a view independent of such esteemed organs and they only become significant in very tightly contested ballots. I didn’t saee the % vote for this week but if Adele got two and a bit million votes out of three and a bit, one assumes it wasn’t tight (60% +).
Like many, I found myself thawing towards the erstwhile repugnant Bermondsey bruiser – especially after having seen her domestic situation and the Diary Room chat in which she suddenly developed self-awareness. One imagines two weeks back on the streets of sarf London would see a return to type but nonetheless…it’s time to back off a little, IMHO.
PJ or Kate – surely this is no contest. ? The invisible man must go. Go, in the name of God go ! – BTW, I found myself hanging around the tabloids in the paper shop this morning checking out the latest non-stories…I take this to be indicative of the growing addiction…
L_C your Big Mac analogy is perfect. I’ll be stealing that for future drunken use 
Friday was a bit much IMO. Some of these people need to get things into perspective. Davina dealt with it very well though. I did think Adele has gotten things pretty easy since. On BBLB and RI:SE she was allowed blame it all on Jade without any comeback from the interviewers. My biggest problem with her is that I really don’t want to see Alex throwing his tongue into her mouth anymore and every interview has the clip.
PJ is for the chop on Friday. Very silly task if you ask me. It was actually worded so badly that the HM’s couldn’t make it out at first and I think the production teams were hoping for a debate between the HM’s. I reckon they just forgot to disallow the drawing of lots.
Jade classic at the weekend. Alex was talking about WWII and Saving Private Ryan when Jade came out and said “Yeah didn’t England and Germany not like each other of sumfink” :eek: OMG
** of sumfink** should be or sumfink
COFFFFFFEEEEE I need COFFFFFFEEEEE
Have another one. I think Jade said “…America and Germany…”.
I do hope you’re right about PJ.
Of course what I really want is Mr Spinal Tap to return…
Hello. I’ve been on honeymoon.
A friend videod BB for me and mrs jjimm while we were away. Watched the first tape last night. Sad, or what?
Here are my outsider’s impressions:
I have changed my opinion on Alex - I reckon he can and should win. Witty, sarcastic and yet diplomatic when he needs to be.
I think Kate should be evicted ASAP, because the sooner her FHM photo shoot (and nose job) begin, the better.
Tim was inserted in my absence, and appears to be a cock of the highest order.
And Jade… oh lord.
After saying I wouldn’t watch the booing during Adele’s eviction… I did. But from behind a pillow. It was excruciating. Then we turned over to the calming presence of Tom Paulin.
But the worst bit was Jade’s mum. Oh dear lord. No wonder the girl is mixed up, her mother’s horrendous. It’s going to be painful when Jade leaves.
This week - PJ, no contest. I actually like that they got to draw lots this week. It means less tension in the house and now that they’re all back together maybe we’ll actually see them have some fun instead of the incessant bitching. I’d rather see them arsing about than backstabbing and squabbling.
Did you see how worried they all were when they heard the booing for Adele? They must be terrified everyone hates them. It can’t be fun.
(minor hijack… you know, L-C, if you come to Londope you can discuss this with yojimbo in person. I can think of no greater incentive)
Abd welcome back jjimm! I hope your honeymoon was all it should be. You are a sad man to have BB taped for you. But in the best possible way.
Did anyone catch them playing drinking games on E4 a few nights ago? Ch4 showed the end of it with them using the broom to get dizzy but the 30min’s before that were absolutely hilarious. I was actually laughing out loud on my own which is a rare occurrence but unheard of when looking at BB.
Jade’s Ma actually stopped Davina in her tracks. She was phased for a few seconds, probably terrified about what she was going to do on live TV.
And yeah L_C come along for a wee pint of two of the warm stuff
I thought the task was a complete balls-up. All the publicity prior to it was along the lines of “the divide is coming down but the housemates are going to have to make an enormous sacrifice to pay for it” or “they’ll get the shock of their lives on Saturday”. In fact, it was a squib. And a very damp one at that. Of course they were going to draw lots - what were the producers expecting, a naked fight to the death?
So - no nominations, no tension, no competition. But at least PJ’s out - it might have taken them a while to nominate him.
The fact that PJ and Kate came out of the hat was good for the Tim/Alex camp. Adele’s eviction left them outnumbered and the triumvirate of Jonny, PJ and Kate might have picked them off (OK so Kate’s not a vir). This has evened things up a bit.
And yeah, Kate’s ma is Ozzy Osbourne but with a bigger substance abuse problem and an even more irritating daughter.
Jade’s ma. Yojimbo, pass us the coffee.
I was going to post something about Adele and her seemingly (from the weekends interviews) near non-existent self esteem about her physical appearance but …it’s history, four days on and she’s irrelevant…
Having thought about it, I agree that the idea behind this week’s nominations must have been to cause a heated debate but the BB producers cocked-up by not expressly disallowing the drawing of lots. Bit of a shame , really. Especially as Ginger was so adamant in the initial discussions it wouldn’t be him but, later, cried in the Diary Room because of some nonsense about his girlfriend appearing in the background of one of the viewed video’s. I’m sorry but if doesn’t define ‘wanker’ I don’t know who might.
Congratulations, jjimm and welcome back. Sorry, though, to read you aren’t a fan of Kate. Does she think she needs a new nose, sounds like I missed that saga ?
Francesca and Yojimbo – I looked at that thread a while ago and will just pop over there now to see what’s afoot re the dates. Always game for a drinkie if plans allow and it’s always nice to put faces to names – well, except for Yojimbo I imagine.
I think the thing that strikes me most at the moment is how they all seem to be quite happy with almost no intellectual stimulation, for week after endless week. No reading, no writing, no music, no nuffin…just sitting around struggling with the notion of how to turn mundane exchanges into some form of conversation. I wonder if this explains why Alex has gravitated towards Tim – at least he can have a stab at conversation, even if it is seriously ‘tinged’ with ignorance and arrogance.
God, we must all be mad to watch this…
I hope Tim gets egged when he get evicted. Racist scum.
What did he say?
apparently there was a joke involving the words “Pakies” “transparent” “shit kicked out of” and “lying in the gutter”.
Oh. Poor taste, absolutely, but he might just be cretinously unfunny rather than out-and-out racist.
