BB FANS

Hello - quick post from me, as I've not slept for about 4 days, but thought I'd fill you all in on a bit of gossip!

I was visiting a friend in London last night, but myself and another friend thought we'd drive down to London a day earlier, and pop along to Elstree!

As we were checking into our hotel, Saskia, Maxwell and Craig walked in, and joined Lesley and Roberto in the bar. We went down to the bar a while later, and ended up having a really good chat with Saskia, Max and Craig. Lesley had gone somewhere with her boyfriend, and Roberto had vanished by this point, as Saskia told us that him and Maxwell had nearly had a fight a few minutes earlier, lol!

I know you'll all think I've gone stark raving mad, but Craig was an absolute delight to meet! We were chatting about the show for ages, and having a bitch about Derek and Makosi! He's so enthusiastic about the whole experience.
Had a natter with Saskia and Maxwell too, who are both very friendly and approachable. I've met Saskia before, after sticking up for her on BBBM, and she remembered, and was telling Maxwell how lovely I'd been to her, lol!
They seem really happy - they're looking for a place to buy together, and get a mortgage sorted out. She said they're aware that the fame thing probably won't last long, so they're just going to enjoy it whilst they can.

Met Science later on - he was rather quiet, but he said the following day that he'd been tired.

The next day, I met the majority of the housemates after the BBLB reunion. It was so interesting, watching them, lol!
Saskia, Max, Craig and (when he was there), Anthony were together, with Mary and Orlaith joining them at one point.
The rest of them though, seemed like they weren't sure who to talk to! Orlaith spent more time chatting to my friend, than she did any of the housemates! (My mate is from Belfast, so they were reminiscing about Northern Ireland!)

The only other person I saw speaking to Makosi was Vanessa. The rest of them seemed to be giving her a very wide berth. Kemal couldn't help but call Saskia a bitch everytime her name was mentioned..... completely bitter!

Kinga was very friendly, and she "didn't do that thing with the bottle! I was just pretending! Honest!", and Eugene absolutely had me in stitches - unintentionally, but he really was funny. "Blackcurrant and beer - Bleer!"

Roberto was a bit slimy, Makosi was quite unfriendly, and poor Sam didn't look like she wanted to be there really!

Met Dermot as well, and I got my banner out the car for him to sign (my Vanessa one). He told me that he had cried with laughter when he saw it, and rang his producer to get the banner off me after the show. Vanessa came over to sign it as well, and laughed her head off when she saw it again. I told her I hoped she'd not been offended by it - thankfully, she hadn't!

Think that's about it.. will let you know if I think of anymore gossip!

Tempted to say, "told you so". (not you specifically, nicki)

Go for it!!
I never really disliked Craig, but was a bit wary what he'd be like.
He's brilliant though - really quite funny. We kept bumping into each other throughout the night at the bar or in reception, and everytime, he'd say "Hi honey!".

There was a wedding reception going on in the hotel as well, and Craig got up on stage to do a bit of a stint!
It really looks like he's enjoying himself.... good on him.

I agree, one miwwion percent.

Roberto & Maxwell really can't stand each other can they

I'm sure if they made the effort to be nice for a few minutes they could do it...but I think seeing what they are like in a house for 11 weeks is the more realistic version of who they are.

Thanks for that post, very interesting read...your like a minor BB related celeb yourself lol

I wasn't much of a fan of Craig on BB but my friend who knew him before BB said that he was quite different on BB.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time Nicki. Well done you for the review of events.

pleased you had an enjoyable day

Do you think he was looking to pull?

I thought at the weekend that Sam also would have clung to Makosi-they were OK together and as you say Sam didn't really form any friendships.Maybe she was scared of the hubbub around her given that she has her own little modelling thing already sorted.

Could you descibe Lesley's boyfriend-I'm baffled.

Agree with you about Craig-I'm surprised he wasn't more popular in a weak year as at least I thought he was "genuine"

Nice bit of goss, Nicki.

I thought Craig was a brilliant housemate, yet he is hated on the forums.

Not surprised to hear Roberto(the darling of DS along with limited Science) was slimy.

The goss writer for New! magazine was on Radio 5 the other day & said he met Roberto at some crappy little function & Roberto was moaning that he didn't get a Heat front cover.

In his dreams.

ps: what a nasty piece of work Kemal sounds. I said he had no chance of winning after having a go at Maxwell & Saskia.

But I thought you were an enthusiastic Eugene fan, Cameron??

Craig thought Eugene was vile.

Craig: " I refuse to diminish my character...I refuse"

The funniest line ever in the history of reality TV.

i consider it, one of the most self- deluded, obnoxious and immature.

He was roundly booed, at every given opportunity, by the waiting crowds, on wednesday and again, on Friday nights. An awful character.

I am indeed, p-i-l.

I was a supporter of both Craig and Eugene, even though one might not have liked the other.

In real life there are people I'm friendly with who are not necessarily friends with each other.

Isn't that why (at least) some of the debates continue to rage from previous years? Some people can't reconcile somebody else liking two housemates who may not have got on that well.
