BB FANS

We know that the Endermol lot look through the various fan sites to see what people like us are saying, and to nick ideas for tasks etc.

I've a suggestion for them, although it may take a day or two to arrange with the TV schedules and getting Davina in.

Make Friday's eviction show a really good one by kicking out the evictee nice and early, then show the reactions of the house, quickly followed by turning all the lights off and pulling the plug on the cameras.

End of BB10, forget it this year, total shambles and so many things have killed the mood for the viewers. They must have some repeats of 'Friends' that will fill the gaps.

No live feed and a near useless website has made it difficult to figure out what is going on. By the time the highlights show comes on you've forgotten half of that because another day has happened.

The newspapers are always behind anyway, stories that we pick up are old news by the time they publish, apart from The Sun, who report on the overnight 'action', or lack of.

It's like keeping two or three diaries, a day apart each. We have news of things from the overnight feed, added to by C4 (when they get round to it), which we then have to leave to one side until the highlights show, a day after, fills in some of the gaps. This is then reported on by the newspapers another day afterwards.

In the meantime the next day is being filled in and by the time you find out the full story behind the bulb of garlic, it can be a couple of days after it happened. Many other things will have happened by then and the issues that seemed so strong and valid at the time will have been swept away by the later squabbles.

It's a mess, I get confused with it all and I've been a follower of BB for years. How the heck do they expect to retain viewers with a lesser attention span?

I'm worried about rumours that Sky may take the show on after BB11. They will quickly make it into a cash cow, probably giving a live feed , but on a special subscription channel. Again, lot of people will not be able to watch it of will object to the sheer cost - silly idea really. C4 should have expanded the format, not made cutbacks beyond reason...

I don't want it killed off just yet, Old Git, though I do understand where you're coming from.

I've just decided to cope with the heavy bias this year, and I will watch it as light relief in the evenings. Shame they've gone to the bother of having BB when they've obviously not got the money to spend on it, because this year it had the potential to be much better than it has been for quite a while. Oh well...

I don't think I can stick with this format until, the end. We're a third of the way through and I'm having constant headaches and sleepless nights, trying to get my head round what little info we get and trying to make sense of it.

My suggestion for this series is not to put any new HM's in, as that just results in them getting booted at the first opportunity, and to put ALL the existing HM's up for the public vote. Fridays show would then evict the HM with the most votes, as normal, followed by the next, and the next...

Within a few days the great British public will have forgotten about BB10 and found something else to do this summer.

The other view is that Endermol have already filmed the entire series of BB10 and the HM's are on holiday someplace. As such the shows will continue as they are already in C4's video library...

It Must Be Love

It's okay – don't panic! It looks like Dogface and Kris are crazy in love again.

Well, it looked that way this morning as they snuggled up in bed, but as soon as the coast was clear, Karly had to spill the beans to Dogface before she popped.

She explained to Dogface how Kris Feels like he's always the one that goes up to her, and that he felt like he was making all the effort and didn't want to get hurt again – especially on TV.

Latest News
(just C4's daily repeated headline when their wit fails)

Housemates hanging around in the kitchen? Housemates locked in the toilet? Rumblings of a romance on the rocks? It could only mean one thing – it was party time in the Big brother House.

Sree was doing his usual thing with Noirin, i.e not leaving her alone for a second. But little did he know he was about to get the most plain explanation of Noirin's feelings for him that he'd yet heard.

"I try to put a lot of effort on you and make you understand what is going on," Sree told her, prompting Rodrigo to join in.

"I think you two are going to get married," said Rodrigo.

"If I get married to him, you're getting married to Freddie," laughed Noirin.

Don't Look Back In Anger

After their blazing row in the Bathroom the latest in a long line of rows you could be forgiven for thinking that Noirin and Sree would spend they day trying to ignore each other.

But the more the days roll by, the more they exhibit the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a couple who'd just celebrated their silver wedding anniversary.

Sree headed to the Garden to bask in the sun with the other housemates and wisely decided he needed to apply some sun cream. And guess who he asked to rub it in?

TASK: Extreme School Sports Day

Never mind all that basking around in the Garden housemates, Big Brother wants you in the Living Area – and be quick about it! There's a Task on its way and Marcus is on his way back from the Diary Room with the details.

"For today's Task," Marcus read out, "housemates will take part in an Extreme School Sports Day. If housemates successfully complete all events they will receive three tokens. By coming to the Diary Room, the reader of these instructions is the referee. The remaining ten housemates will be split into two teams."

Big Brother 10 housemates are a pretty stupid bunch

THEY’RE not quite up there with the endearing naivety of previous housemates Jade and Helen – remember ‘East Angular’ and chickpeas being made of chicken – but most of this year’s Big Brother contestants are a pretty stupid bunch.

Sophie, aka Dogface, thinks carrots grow on trees. And there was me willing to give this dumb blonde the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile Brummie Lisa commented, while plucking a chicken for the Tudor task, how “this would be what they had to do in the olden days”. You mean chickens don’t have feathers now?

Four nominations for Sree

I would not be surprised if the show was axed half way through. The viewing figures must be way down and the loyal fans of the show are still not over the live feed axe and have given up the fight to have it resumed.

I second that.

Wouldn't say that many from that group, though that clip is a little encouraging. I guess it will come down to a choice between him and Marcus (the latter if Lisa drops enough hints) as to who'll be up with Freddie.

Charlie - Halfwit & Marcus
Dogface - Halfwit & Marcus/Sree
Halfwit - Sree & Lisa
Karly - Halfwit & Marcus/Sree
Kris - Halfwit & Sree
Lisa - Halfwit & Marcus
Marcus - Lisa & Sree
Noirin - Halfwit & someone other than Marcus/Sree so doesn't matter
Rodrigo - 2 from Siavash, Sree and Halfwit
Siavash - Lisa & Sree
Sree - Halfwit & Marcus

So I make it 7 potential votes for Sree and only 5 for Marcus, so might be a good time for BB not to mess with nominations just yet

Thank you for the overnight gossip everyone.
