BB FANS

I liked Mary...loads

What does Vanessa look like in those silly pink boots?

Kemal looks like the somebody's mum (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a bit odd for a 19-year-old).

I always thought that Mary was a bit too generous with the blusher.

Saskia looks nice.

Didn't recognise Makosi!

I agree about Mary's blusher, GG. It's a bit OTT. I can't bear Mary anyway.

Kemal does indeed look like somebody's mum - a middle-aged one at that. Which is fine, unless you are 19, I agree.

The pink boots aren't wonderful. I always worry when Makosi is smiling like that. Eugene looks a tad deranged in that photo.

Wheres Cry-ag?

Thanks for the pictures

Not with everyone all together I don't think - they may do one or two more just in pairs of smaller groups.

Like Sarah says, no Craig or Lesley?? Strange that, i thought they might have had them two there. Unless they couldn't make it for some reason.

I heard elsewhere that they were held up in traffic. Nothing sinister. Don't even know if it's true though.

They seemed quite frantic when they turned up at 5.35pm!

I went yesterday, as I was celebrating a friend's birthday in London anyway. Thankfully, she's a BB fan too, so we went together, lol!

Dya know what? I didn't notice much sniping going on at all - they all seemed relatively content, just getting on with it. Same goes for at the launch party afterwards. They just seem to stick with who they feel comfortable with, and let bygones be bygones with the rest of them.

Maksoi did leave the launch party after about 5 minutes though, lol! Science still seems quite fond of her, continuing to call her Moloko!

Mary and Kinga (and at times, Kemal) spent a lot of time together at the party - Mary looked a right miserable cow all the time to be honest. Lesley seemed quite subdued as well.
Eugene looked a bit stressed by the whole situation, bless him! He seemed alright at the party though - chatting to anyone and everyone that approached him!

Vanessa, Sam and Orlaith seemed to be getting on alright during the signing. They'd got the housemates positioned so as to avoid any conflict I suppose!

We ended up leaving at the same time as Craig, Lesley, Orlaith, Max and Saskia. Craig was absolutely hammered, and tried to get into the taxi that Saskia and Maxwell had pre-booked. "Maxweeeelll - how do you do that?!" he whines... "You just stick your hand out like this Craig!" replies Maxwell.

Good day! Pleasantly surprised that it didn't seem rushed at all - had plenty of time to chat to whichever housemates you wanted to!
They were all very pleasant - thought Vanessa, Orlaith, Saskia, Kinga and Maxwell were particularly friendly.

I actually think that photo is very funny - Derek looks like he is thinking 'Beam me up Scotty', Kemal looks like someone's mother just wandered around the back, and Kinga's head looks superimposed on her body

That's a nice picture Thanks for telling us about it Nicki - you get to go to everything!

thanks for the report Nicki

She's got to 'my' Russell more than once... - but yes, we are lucky to have Nicki here - it's always most informative to hear what HM's are like in the flesh.
