come on John any more info or have Endemol kidnapped you and locked you in a cellar with only maysoon for company until this series is over?
Just to reprise...
I'd forgotten where I'd posted this originally... was away working and didn't get back when I'd hoped. So nothing exciting like a kidnap.
I did learn more (which is pretty much defunct now as you saw what happened tonight) and attempted to iPhone into the site this morning but with out much luck. Sorry I didn't make it.
However, more news...
Part of the follow up was to confirm something I'd asked in the week (and suspected anyway) and that is there are 'favourable conversations' going on at BB:HQ about Dale. Now I've been asked NOT to make a huge case out of it because no one is (yet) measuring any HM for the winners throne. But there are ideas floating around about which HMs would make good finalists (again, caution here: Its an editorial thing rather than an outright plan or plot). Beyond that though, decisions have been made (and I'm guessing will be made again) to create a house environment or broadcasts that favours cetain HMs over others. The official word (as also repeated to me) is that BB will let the HMs set the stories but I don't think that's exactly the case judging from some of the stories appearing this week... they are clearly filtering at some level and its noticable.
More if and when...
Hoping to have a longer chat with a couple of people later next week. If there's anything good from that I'll post it.
Hardly rocket science, John - Kate's best friend works on the programme.
It's fantastic to see Kate's best friend, Joey Haines on the credits for BBLB every night. Joey's the celebrity booker.
Joey's done really well since Kate befriended him on RI:SE when he was a mere runner.
They ran the London marathon this year & have already signed up for next year. Watch this space.
Kate thought completing the London marathon for her favourite charity, Cystic Fibrosis Research(in honour of Kate's close friend's young daughter who has the condition), under 5 hours without training was amazing, but thinks with training she could complete it under 4.
Yes, Davina jumped about like a 12 year old when Jennifer said she'd like a romance with Dale - but that's what Davina does.
Er, yes, Endemol would love Dale & Jennifer to sell their 'relationship' to The Daily Star Group & Heat.
However, to be fair they did repeat Dale's awful audition tape - & poor old Rex has had the worst press of anybody from BB9 regarding allegations of cheating & drug taking - but that hasn't stopped his girlfriend going into the house.
When Davina accompanied Chantelle to the TV baftas & was asked about 'problems' between Chantelle & Preston, she said she would 'help out'. Chantelle was with Davina's agent at the time & had sold her wedding to OK for 600k, blah, blah, blah.
When they split up, Chantelle said the wedding was a 'sham'(but kept the money) - but Davina has been nowhere to be seen since.
That's the way the media works.
Dale's aggression is tiresome - but other housemates in the past have been favoured. Mind you, Alison was always going to be the most successful housemate after BB - she didn't need Endemol's help.
To this day, Alison does all the big movie interviews for This Morning & has had the last laugh.
This week, The X-Files.
Top Class.
