BB FANS

oh I can't see it I shall have to wait for it to load.

*fnar

Damn hot-linking. Here's a different one.

I think I've found a new avatar for you Boop.

ahh woody woodpecker. Sounds good to me. how about Woody and Jessie from Toy story. We used to have a hamster called woody and a rabbit called Jessie. Both have since passed on alas!

ok you have since updated it since I last posted. I was very matter of fact about it as if I say that kind of thing all the time.

Matter-of-fact about what?

Waiting for a load to be delivered. Do you always make them use the tradesman's entrance?

Or can they come in the front way, providing they wipe themselves on the rug outside the entrance?

Recorded but not watched yet... having read the commentary I'm excitedly looking forward to watching the show later...

... but I just know I'll be disappointed though.

As someone has already spotted Alan's 'native' comment, I'll refrain from doing a Nicky and repeatedly mentioning it again... and again.

Yes Ellie, I was reviewing some of the past posts on here last night and even 6 weeks ago people were already picking up the pro-Brian signals. I really do believe they (the producers) had intended to push Charley all the way until that became untenable. Almost immediately after Charley's eviction they switched to Brian. Whether people liked Brian or not, he clearly had a lot of help and the masses allowed themselves to be duped.

More from me once I've seen the show...

I have a French polisher. Oui, c'est vrai.

I'm not a bigot. Unlike many I don't see these people as undesirables to be deported. I see them as natives of this fine land.

Hollyoaks fans I mean.

It may not be Shakespeare, but it keeps the Rada graduates in work.

For what it's worth, way way back - early July, I think, one of those 'who do you think will win BB' surveys arrived in my in-box.

The usual questions...favourite/least favourite male/female HM's, etc...but interestingly, one question was 'if these were the final two HM's left in the house, who would you want to win? - and the choices were Brian or Liam.

That was back when everyone seemed to think Liam was nothing but lovely. I appreciate that many of you still think that, and everyone's entitled to their opinion. I'm just pointing out that before The Twins ever seemed to be strong contenders, some 'experts' figured that Liam and Brian were likely finalists.

Who sent you this survery?

"The Liam or Brian to Win Campaign", aka Channel 4?

Personally, I'd like to celebrate Brian's win... but if I'm honest I just can't do that at the moment.

In fairness, he's every bit a victim of this too. Whether real or imagined, his win will forever be tainted with suspicion and that's a shame really.

The villian this year isn't Charley or Billi or whomever... its BB themselves. 2007, the year they stole Big Brother.

Do you mean tainted by the allegations of biased editing or by the more serious suspicions of a major criminal betting scam?

I hope no action is taken.

Can you imagine if a court orders this whole sorry farce to be replayed?

I can't imagine having to sit through that sh!te for another 14 weeks.

Well, at least not until next year and BB9.

I mean the producers losing their confidence and believing they had to interfere and meddle to 'save the show'.

But yes, I'm afraid some will always attach the tags of fake act, favourable edits and betting scam (especially if evidence comes to light) with Brian's win.

Just watched the Reunion Show

Mmmm not sure what I expected, haven't watched one of these sorts of shows since BB3. I'm afraid I didn't get much out of what was merely a 'clip show'. I had hoped we'd learn more about the housemates... I'm not sure we did?

Washing machine finally revealed, which was one mystery cleared up.

Did laugh (perhaps too loudly) when Charley tried to hog the closing moments. Having been uncharacteristically silent throughout she lept up and grabbed Dermot's shoulders as he delivered his closing lines... a second or two later the show (having run out of time) cut into the Virgin Promo clip. And so ended Charley's big final moment.

I think Brian came across well, as did Ziggy and to a lesser degree Liam.

Carole was warm and human. I think we'll be seeing more of her in the future.

Too late now, but Jonty and Gerry need to remember not to perform all the time. They are great people with wonderful personalities and there's no need to feel they have to leap about or make silly voices the moment a camera is pointed in their direction.

Beyond that... I can't say I've been particularly entertained or enlightened?
