BB FANS

I've just finished watching BB's ending on C4, which I recorded last night. Lovely bit of VT charting the career of the real ultimate BB housemate, Jade. Lovely bit of VT made by the production team to say goodbye to Davina. Worthy winner of Ultimate BB in Brian Dowling. Nice echoey nostalgia sound clips ("who IS she", "no naked jacuzziness!" etc). Fireworks and a New Orleans jazz band.

This last series has been no fun, it's true, and I'm saddened that UBB was ruined by the treatment of Nadia and her subsequent breakdown outside the house, and both of those things have reminded me of what I've loathed about this show over the years: the racism, the homophobia, the transphobia etc etc.

But Brian winning also reminded me of all the things I've loved about it. He's always been one of my favourite housemates and he just encapsulates what the show was about - ordinary people given a chance to shine on national telly, entertaining me all summer long with daft tasks and silly arguments and bitching and backstabbing and romancing and bromancing.

This show helped keep me sane all through my mother's illness. BB7 ended just before she died. Coming home from the hospital to watch the antics of Nikki and Pete and Glyn and Richard was a much-needed dose of light-heartedness and laughs.

There are rumours of it returning on Channel Five, but for me this is it. It was always the C4 summer show, with that theme tune, with Davina hosting and Marcus Bentley providing the voice over. Anything else would be like vegan cheese - a poor substitute for the real thing.

Anyways, this is goodbye, because there'll be no reason to return to this forum again. Thanks guys for all the laughs and the tantrums and the arguments. It's been fun. I used to say see you for Sleb BB, but I can't now *sniff*

RIP BB - loved you, hated you, laughed with you, cried with you, argued about you more times than I care to remember and talked about you endlessly for hours and hours. Cheerio, old pal.

Sorry to see you go Bunny. You are quite welcome to come and visit any time you like. It's been good reading your posts.

Bye bunny you always made me laugh even when you were wrong

Hopefully we will meet again someday

Why go Bunny, surely there other topics on BBfans we can disagree about?

Bye, Bunny; you were brilliant and hilarious, even though you always missed the Big Brother off season.

You say you hated any possible homophobia and racism in Big Brother(quite right); think that was counted by Brian being gay, of Irish heritage, winning Big Brother 2 and Ultimate Big Brother in 2010(quite rightly), to boot.!

But always remember your need to ridicule and destroy anybody who says anything misogynistic about any woman?

Take care.

I have this strange feeling of deja vu

Oh wait if that was your last post I can say anything I like without any fear of a cutting come back

Nah youve been very entertaining bugsy , take care

Bye bye Bunny. I have always looked forward to your posts, and it is sad that it is all over.
