THIS WEEKS NOMINATIONS
It looks like it may be REX, BEX, & JEN facing the public vote from what I have heard so far. Confirmation from our BB insider has not come through yet but I will post immediately I hear. If however, those 3 are indeed up then I reckon it's bye bye Jen.
POST SPITGATE
After fight night, now being called Spitgate, I find myself actually feeling sorry for Dennis. Yes, he was totally out of order and deserved to be removed from the house but I think he was the fall guy in the whole ugly debacle.
He clearly tried to calm the situation down in the early part of the argument and prior to it all kicking off all he had wanted to do was go for a spa with Jen. Mainly because Jen had been crying like her first born had been murdered ~ all over a silly painting she had done! She even compared her painting to a Monet, saying to Rex (who'd smudged her silly painting) 'would you do that to a Monet!'. PLEASE. That girl needs a big shovel of reality shoved into her whining mouth! And then a whack over the head with said shovel to see if some sense could be knocked into her.
But as she kept crying about her painting and 'though Rex apologies profusely and repeatedly, and the aggression all around her escalated, Dennis could be seen to becoming more and more wound up. BB should have stepped in at that point and sent in security to separate the hms but, I suppose for the sake of guaranteeing themselves higher viewer figures, misguidely allowed it to run. And that is when Dennis lost the run of himself and leapt up and spat at Mo.

And that is when Dennis lost the run of himself and leapt up and spat at Mo.
He was 100% wrong in what he did but I think that Stuart and Dale's excessive aggression was partly to blame and that they too should have received some extreme punishment. Which as far as we the viewers are aware, they have not. But perhaps BB has something up his sleeve for them. I certainly hope so ~ they were bang out of order.
Bex and Jen hear Dennis has been removed from the house
JEN ~ The Most Machiavellian HM
Machiavellian: "The belief that a ruler can use any means to stay in power. Also: Relating to trickery or dishonesty."
Jen is clearly the most Machiavellian hm in the there. Watch how she manipulates them all to pull them to her side. She will stop at nothing to ensure she retains her position in the house and will bitch and drop ideas as she goes and then turn around and be as nice as pie when it suits. This morning is nominations and guess what? Jen is in the garden being super nice to Mo and Rex.
Want to check your own Machiavellian level? Do the test:

You might not be as nice as you think ~ or you could be a total pussycat!
NEW HM? TWIST?
Word is that there will be a new hm entering the house this week, possibly on Wednesday. Here's hoping it is some pretty girl who will knock Jen off her throne. We need to see Dale & Stuart by-passing Jen for some new hot tottie. Evil I know, but fun.
There are also rumours that Friday will see a huge twist. What will it be?
As usual, I will bring you the news here the minute one of our BB insiders spill the beans!

NOMINATIONS 30 June 2008
Providing BB don't change things, nominations will take place today. After the heat of last week it will be interesting to see who nominates whom. By my reckoning the nominations will result in Jen and Rex facing the public vote with a possibility of Bex. There's a very slim chance Rachel could be in the mix but it is slim.
If Jen and Rex face the public vote it is nearly certain Jen will the be one to go. This will come as a massive shock to her as she clearly sees herself as the queen bee in the house and as a result assumes the viewers love her too. This was helped along by someone outside the house calling in 'we love you Jen!'. Her face will be a picture when Davina says: JENNIFER!
From the house as I write: Luke has been sent to jail. Could it be that he is being punished for his almost constant hints about nominations and therefore not allowed to nominate this week? Or will BB be really evil and make him nominate from jail in full hearing of his fellow hms. Now that would be good.

From the Ch.4 site:
With nominations due to start at any minute, Luke has been called to the Diary Room - and sent straight to jail.
As he settled into the Diary Room chair, Big Brother began to give him a stern talking to. "Luke, yesterday in a conversation with Rebecca, you said 'On Tuesday night, when the votes are announced, it's all gonna blow. Not that we would ever predict or guess nominations, 'cause that's against the rules. OK Bex, you've got 'Cookie Love' and 'Happy House' -- that's all we need. 'Cookie Love' and 'Happy House' -- THAT'S ALL WE NEED.'"
"Oh God," moaned Luke, before attempting to dig himself out of this hole. "Big Brother, I understand how you could have interpreted it like that, but I said it as in, 'if we have the love of cookies and a happy house that's all we need'." Yeah... we're not buying it, Luke.
"I didn't even attempt to insinuate that Rebecca should nominate Kat and Rachel," he went on, suspiciously. "Believe me, Big Brother, I wouldn't be that stupid. I think you misinterpreted it."
But no one pulls the wool over Big Brother's eyes. "Luke, Big Brother is very clear on the interpretation. You must proceed directly to jail, where you will stay until further notice."
"Whaaat?!" wailed Luke at the top of his voice. "Have you banned me from nominations then?"
"The door's open, Luke," deadpanned Big Brother.
The naughty rule-breaker then stomped out of the Diary Room and straight towards the jail, telling anyone who would listen that it wasn't fair. "This is absurd! This is ridiculous! This is an outrage!"

WANT TO KNOW BEFORE THE VIEWERS THE HMS FACING THE PUBLIC VOTE?
The results of the nominations will be announced at around 7.30pm tomorrow night on BBLB but don't forget to CHECK BACK HERE AROUND 4PM TOMORROW ~ our BB insider should know by then.

SYLVIA EVICTED!
As our BB insider told us, Sylvia is evicted.
Cue tears from the fountain that is Jennifer. There'll be weeping and wailing tonight for sure. The good thing is it will make the pompus lot (Bex, Jen, Dale, Stuart and Luke) reflect on what is popular behaviour and what is not. Sylvia was very much part of their group and they were almost certain it would be Mo evicted. Their shock was palpable. And enjoyable.
~~~~~
Sylvia got 90.2% of the vote. (Second only to Sezer's 91.6%).
Which of course means that only 9.8% voted for Mo. GO MO!

DENNIS DELETED
Dennis has been removed from the house and the hms have just been told (2pm Friday).The hms were just called to the sofas and Mario read a card given by BB. Sound was cut but it seems the card announced to the hms that Dennis has been removed from the house following last night's fighting. Jen is weeping like she's just lost her best friend (she's known him, what? 17 days? - maybe she's feeling a bit of rightly deserved guilt for her part in the whole thing. Or maybe not.
Mario has assured Mo he'll 'watch his back.'. And we the viewers are assured this will indeed be the case ~ especially as Mario is wearing his army fatigue underpants.
FROM CH.4:
Dennis is removed from the Big Brother House for unacceptable behaviour...
Housemate Dennis McHugh has been removed from the Big Brother House for unacceptable behaviour.
A number of housemates were involved in an argument at approximately 12.45am this morning (27th June), which resulted from a prank played by Rex that ended in a picture painted by Jennifer being slightly defaced.
During the argument Dennis spat in the face of fellow housemate, Mohamed.
Big Brother intervened immediately to break up the argument. The 'as live' streaming from the house on E4 was cut and no footage was broadcast.
All the housemates involved in the argument were sent to separate bedrooms and kept apart for the rest of the night. Dennis and Mohamed were called separately to the diary room in the early hours to discuss the incident.
After production staff and executives at Channel 4 reviewed the footage this morning, Dennis was called to the diary room a second time at 1:15pm and told he was immediately being removed from the house.
Following Dennis's removal, Big Brother continues to call to the diary room a number of other housemates to discuss their involvement in the argument and remind them of the rules governing housemates' behaviour.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "Spitting in someone's face is seriously offensive and Mohamed was understandably upset. Big Brother has very clear rules about offensive behaviour. Like all housemates Dennis was clearly informed before entering the house that he faced eviction if he acted in an unacceptable manner."

FROM CH.4 ~ DIARY ROOM WITH DENNIS:
Dennis is ejected after his "act of aggression"...Following last night's argument between Jennifer and Rex, where Dennis spat in Mohamed's face, Dennis was called to the Diary Room by Big Brother and told he had to leave the House."Before you entered the House, you were made aware of the rules on unacceptable behaviour," Big Brother told him. "Big Brother also told you in person that if you behaved aggressively towards another housemate, you would be removed from the House." "Dennis, last night at 00.42, after an argument with several housemates in the luxury bedroom, you spat in Mohamed's face," Big Brother continued. "Dennis, do you remember the incident Big Brother is referring to?" Hanging his head, Dennis replied: "Yes"."Now you've had a chance to reflect, do you regret this incident?" Big Brother asked."I really regret this incident," Dennis admitted. "Big Brother is in no doubt that spitting in another housemate's face is an act of aggression, and is therefore unacceptable behaviour," Big Brother announced. "Big Brother is therefore left with no choice but to remove you from the Big Brother House. Do you have anything to say before you leave?""I'm just really sorry," Dennis murmured, looking distraught, "and I'm so disappointed in myself."

Highlights show tonight will definately overshadow the eviction.

2ND EVICTION
Eviction ~ Friday 27th June 2008
Facing the public vote this week are Sylvia and Mo.
I think Sylvia will probably be the one voted out. This girl is so beautiful but she has a really strange side to her. I'm not sure if she is just nasty or a bit crazy. She seems to delight in flitting around the house causing trouble. Some would say she should stay to stir things up but I'm not sure if I want to watch and listen to her carry on for another week.
Mo on the other hand is coming out of himself more. He seems like a really nice guy and may survive the vote. I hope so.
~~~
And the plot thickens ...
From tomorrow's Daily Star:
Big Brother minx Sylvia Barrie has been acting out a lie to hide a saucy secret – she and new boy Stuart Pilkington were a couple BEFORE the show started.
She and the hunk hooked up during a trial run in the Channel 4 spy house and the sparks really flew between the randy pair.
So producers decided to put them both in the house for real, banking on the fact that their sizzling romance would keep ratings soaring.
They ordered Sylvia and Stu to put on an act, pretending that they had never met before – and threatening them with the boot if they blab to housemates.
But housemates and viewers noticed that Sylvia, 21, started to behave strangely as soon as Stuart, 25, arrived in the house. She even slipped into his bed for a chat and cuddle just hours after his arrival.
Stu has tried desperately to distance himself from Sylvia, who faces eviction tonight, but she has continued to stalk him.
We have a few one-week trial runs before the real show, just to see how different personalities react to each other
And now we can reveal that south London girl Sylvia has simply been trying to rekindle the romance she enjoyed with the Cheshire fitness trainer when they met weeks before BB9 even started.

And now we can reveal that south London girl Sylvia has simply been trying to rekindle the romance she enjoyed with the Cheshire fitness trainer when they met weeks before BB9 even started.
A show insider revealed: “We have a few one-week trial runs before the real show, just to see how different personalities react to each other.
“Stu and Sylvia were explosive. They had a full-on fling and ended up kissing passionately.
“Producers insisted they should be put in the main programme. We were hoping for the romance to blossom – and by the way she is acting, so did Sylvia!
“But Stu isn’t having any of it. We fear he realises just how unpopular Sylvia has become and doesn’t want to be tainted by it.

“But Stu isn’t having any of it. We fear he realises just how unpopular Sylvia has become and doesn’t want to be tainted by it.
“Viewers must think Sylvia is a lunatic, the way she’s stalking him. But you can’t blame her for thinking they were going to pick up where they left off.”
But a BB spokesperson said: “Following Stuart’s entrance, Big Brother informed viewers, via voiceover, that Sylvia and Stuart had met. There is no romantic history between them.”
So, is BB's leaking of this info on the morning of the eviction their attempt to save Sylvia? BB corrupt the vote? Could that happen?
FIGHT NIGHT
Dennis reflects on the fight
Thursday night 26th/Friday morning 27th June 2008
So, BB9 has had their Fight Night. Live transmission was quickly whipped off the air when a fight blew up between the partying hms.
It seems that Rex accidentally damaged the painting Jen had done of Stuart and that ignigted the embers of resentment that have been building up against Rex in the house.
Once live transmission came on again around 2.10am, most of the hms were divided into separate bedrooms with Lisa and Dennis outside at the ashtray speaking. In the luxury bedroom there was Rachel, Kat, Jen, Dale, Stuart, Sylvia, Luke (spoutting inanities as per), and Mikey.
Darnell & Rex discuss the fight
In the other bedroom were Darnell, Rex, Mo, and (surprisingly) Mario. After a few minutes Dennis and Lisa entered the luxury room where Dennis was treated like a returning conqueror, lots of tears and hugging and worries about whether he would be removed from the house.
From what I can gather, Jen was angry about the painting, others got involved in the argument, even though it seems Rex had apologised to Jen. The argument seems to have been mainly between Dennis, Rex, Mo, and Darnell. Dennis ended up spitting in Mo's face! Not a good move ~ and worse, it's legally an assault on a person which could see Dennis removed from the house.
LIVE FEED NOW - from 2.20am
BB announces to the house shortly after live feed returns: would all housemates remain in their respective bedrooms for the remainder of the night. And Mo is called to the Diary Room.
Lisa is the queen of sensibility in the luxury bedroom, pouring oil on troubled waters while Luke chirrups constantly about what will happen, what the guys in the other bedroom are talking about and on and on and on ... oh, and she's Dennis' nbf.Meanwhile, in the second bedroom Mario is saying what a nasty piece of work he thinks Dennis is. Wonder how the Lisa & Mario show will come together on this?
And as I leave livefeed: Dennis is lying dramatically draped over his bed clutching Bex's teddy, sporting green tartan shorts, lime green tshirt, peach headscraf wrapped around his aching 'heeed' (he has a migraine apparently and feels like his brain is being pulled through his nose). Dramatic? Dennis?
And in the second bedroom, while discussions on the fight continue (and Darnell is now called to the Diary Room), that hulk of a man, the facilitator, Mario is snoring like a train. What a guy!
The highlights show tomorrow night (Friday) will be even more interesting than the live eviction me thinks! Who goes? Who flipping cares - let's just watch fight night! Oh, and watch out for a drunken Bex falling headlong into the rhubarb patch.
~~~
UPDATE:
A Big Brother spokeswoman said: "Around 12.45am a verbal argument took place between a number of housemates. During that argument Dennis allegedly spat at Mohamed." She added:"Big Brother immediately intervened and separated the housemates into their bedrooms, where they will remain until the morning. Big Brother is currently talking to each of the housemates individually and reviewing the situation before deciding if any appropriate action is required."

IT'S A BOY!
Insider info says the new hm entering on tonight's live show is male. I would have thought another female might have been better. Hopefully it's a total alpha male who will put Mario very firmly in his place.
~~~~~
The inside is correct as usual ~ the new hm is a male.
His name is Stuart, a property developer/personal trainer from Manchester.
Most of the ladies of the house are DELIGHTED to see him. Including Jen who is positively overjoyed. The look on Dale's face tells us that he, on the other hand, is far from happy with this new guy. Could Stuart steal Jen from Dale? We'll have to wait and see!

INSIDER INFO: New HM on Friday!
A BB insider has hinted that a new hm will go into the house on Friday. No further info yet on whether the hm will be male or female but I'll post when I find out more. Hopefully it will be someone who will cause a stir and shake 'em up!

ALEX REMOVED FROM THE HOUSE
Wednesday 18 June ~ 8pm
Alex has been removed from the house for her continual aggressive behaviour.
From the Channel 4 website:
Contestant Alexandra De-Gale has been removed from the Big Brother House for repeatedly breaking the programme's rules on conduct by behaving in an unacceptable and sometimes intimidating manner towards fellow housemates.
Alex was in discussion with Darnell in the living room shortly after 10.15pm yesterday evening (17th June), with a number of other housemates in proximity. Discussing her nomination for this week's eviction, Alex was heard to make apparently intimidatory comments about her intentions on leaving the House. Shortly afterwards, Dennis, Rebecca and Rex discussed her comments in the garden and were clear that they found her behaviour to be threatening, a view that Rex repeated subsequently during a Diary Room discussion with Big Brother.
This incident follows a series of arguments involving Alex since the ninth series of Big Brother started on 5th June. She has twice been called to the diary room and reminded of the rules governing behaviour towards other housemates.
There has been a strong negative reaction from viewers to Alex's behaviour with Channel 4 having received a significant number of comments since launch.
Her latest remarks were not screened via the 'as live' streaming on E4 but were reported up to senior production staff. In consultation with executives at Channel 4 the decision was taken to remove Alex from the house on the grounds that she had repeatedly broken the programme's rules governing housemate behaviour, despite twice being reminded of her responsibilities.
Alex was called to the Diary Room at approximately 8pm on Wednesday 18th June to be informed of the decision and was removed from the House without further contact with other contestants. The remaining housemates were informed of Big Brother's decision at approximately 9.15pm.
Alex was one of two housemates nominated for eviction this week and as a result, in line with the terms and conditions covering phone voting on Big Brother, the latest eviction vote has been suspended.
Angela Jain, Head of E4 and Big Brother at Channel 4, said: "Alex has said her comments were not intended seriously and has apologised, but those comments will be widely interpreted as having been intended to intimidate. Big Brother has very clear rules about housemates conduct and that kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable.
Other housemates have said they found her comments to be threatening and we believe that is a reasonable conclusion for them to have reached given the way Alex has behaved previously. She had already been spoken to twice about her behaviour and, like all housemates, was clearly informed before entering the house that she faced eviction if she acted in an unacceptable manner."
BUM! Mario escapes eviction yet again. Still, I will enjoy watching his love affair with himselves for another week. Probably.

ALEX -V- MARIO 2nd Eviction
Who will go?
While I can't stand the toffee coloured, bull necked Mario, I hope he stays and we sacrifice Alex on the alter of 'Give Him More Rope'. His attitude since finding out he was to face the public vote, and therefore having received the most nominations along with Alex from his fellow hms, he has been arrogant to the point of it now becoming comedy.

He really believes his 'fanbase' (delusions, Mario, your fanbase consists of about 3 people) will save him. What the fool does not realise is that if he is saved, which I predict he will be, so huge is the public hatred of Alex, then he will be sure that it is because he is so popular and not that it was simply that Alex was disliked even more than him.
And the vote will probably be a very tight margin of Alex over toffeeman ~ but of course he won't know that. Evil smiles all around.
I'll add the phone lines once they are announced.

Who Nominated Whom? (Monday 16 June 2008)
Alex first nominates Rex: “We’ve had so many disagreements. He really rubs me up the wrong way a lot of the time. I find him very patronising”. Her second nomination is Dennis. “I’ve recently seen a different side to him – walking round the house, stirring up trouble. I don’t think I can trust him anymore… he’s a poo poo stirrer in my eyes.
Dale then nominated Mario and Alex giving the following reasons: For Mario, he says, “He’s patronising – he thinks he’s the dad and we are the kids”. Regarding Alex he says, “She’s trying to be nice so she won’t be up for nomination. I think she’s playing a game.”
Darnell nominates Mario and Lisa.
Next is Dennis, His first nomination is Mario and his second is Alex. About Alex he says, “I’ve not been able to have relationships with other housemates as she’s so forced with her opinion.”
Jennifer votes for Mario: “I don’t like the way he acts like my dad”, and Lisa: “She stares at me a lot. Because she’s with Mario, she isolates herself from the rest of the group.”
Next up is Kat. After much deliberation she nominates Alex: “A lot of the time she gives off negative energy”, and then Sylvia: “She always agrees with Alex.”
Lisa first nominates Jennifer. She says, “I feel like she pretends I’m not there. Maybe she’s jealous or finds me a threat.” Her second nomination is Sylvia. Her reason being, “Whatever the time is, she doesn’t care and constantly makes noise. It’s so selfish.”
Next to nominate is Luke. He chooses Mohamed and Mario. Regarding Mohamed he says, “I’m absolutely famished and he’s devouring everything in the kitchen. It’s getting beyond a joke… he needs to understand the word RATION.”
Mario nominates Sylvia. He says, “She doesn’t involve herself with the group and she constantly moans. I’ve never seen her in the kitchen getting her hands dirty. She just cares about her looks”. Next he nominates Dennis, saying, “He’s two-faced and playing a massive game.”
Next up is Mikey. He first nominates Alex, “She’s been nicey nicey over the past few days and it doesn’t fool me.” His second nomination is for Dennis. “I wasn’t sure till last night, but when he stood up and called that big meeting I thought ‘what was that all about?’. Dennis is the biggest bitch in the house!”
Mohamed nominates Alex and Dennis.
Rachel nominates Alex and Sylvia.
Rebecca nominates Alex and Darnell.
Rex first picks Alex. “Her behaviour is very manipulative. I don’t want to see people crying in the house.” His second choice is Mario, one of his reasons being, “He was very horrible to Stephanie.”
Last to make nominations is Sylvia. Her first person is Alex. “I feel she is a very argumentative and manipulative character. She’s had more arguments than anyone else in the house. I think Alex would like to get Rex and Mohamed out as they are her biggest threats.” Her next choice is Mario. “He comes across as trying to take charge and control. I don’t need to be told how to act, behave, what to think or what to feel.”

Lisa first nominates Jennifer. She says, “I feel like she pretends I’m not there. Maybe she’s jealous or finds me a threat.” Her second nomination is Sylvia. Her reason being, “Whatever the time is, she doesn’t care and constantly makes noise. It’s so selfish.”
Next to nominate is Luke. He chooses Mohamed and Mario. Regarding Mohamed he says, “I’m absolutely famished and he’s devouring everything in the kitchen. It’s getting beyond a joke… he needs to understand the word RATION.”
Mario nominates Sylvia. He says, “She doesn’t involve herself with the group and she constantly moans. I’ve never seen her in the kitchen getting her hands dirty. She just cares about her looks”. Next he nominates Dennis, saying, “He’s two-faced and playing a massive game.”
Next up is Mikey. He first nominates Alex, “She’s been nicey nicey over the past few days and it doesn’t fool me.” His second nomination is for Dennis. “I wasn’t sure till last night, but when he stood up and called that big meeting I thought ‘what was that all about?’. Dennis is the biggest bitch in the house!”
Mohamed nominates Alex and Dennis.
Rachel nominates Alex and Sylvia.
Rebecca nominates Alex and Darnell.
Rex first picks Alex. “Her behaviour is very manipulative. I don’t want to see people crying in the house.” His second choice is Mario, one of his reasons being, “He was very horrible to Stephanie.”
Last to make nominations is Sylvia. Her first person is Alex. “I feel she is a very argumentative and manipulative character. She’s had more arguments than anyone else in the house. I think Alex would like to get Rex and Mohamed out as they are her biggest threats.” Her next choice is Mario. “He comes across as trying to take charge and control. I don’t need to be told how to act, behave, what to think or what to feel.”

HMS UP FOR 2ND EVECTION - INSIDER NEWS!
5.16 pm ~ Tuesday 17 June 2008
It seems that it is MARIO and ALEX facing the public vote but our insider is not actually at work today so can't confirm 100%. Maybe our other insider will come forward to either confirm or deny it's Mario and Alex. I'll keep you updated if any more news comes in.
The other BB insider has just confirmed that it is indeed Alex & Mario (Alex received 2 more nominations than Mario) who will face the public vote. Can't wait to see Mario's face when he hears he is received the most votes along with Alex.
Our BB insider also reports that Sylvia & Dennis got the joint highest votes after Mario & Alex. Next was Lisa. All the rest received either one vote or none.
You heard it here first folks!
~~~
STARS to our BB insiders ~ they were spot on.

FIRST NOMINATIONS: Monday 16 June 2008
So 11 days into BB9 we have the first round of nominations. I have tried to work out who will vote for whom and while some are easy enough to predict (Mario nominating Dennis and Rex), some of the others have been quite hard to try and predict, Rachel for one.
On the subject of nominations why, every single year do the hms make such a drama out of the nomination process? They are well aware that nominating each week is part of the process and they know they will have to nominate 2 hms, so I just wish they'd get on with it and stop the fuss!
I'm looking forward to seeing the actual nominations, probably on BBLB tomorrow evening if they keep it the same as previous years. BUT there is a chance I will be able reveal the actual nominations a few hours before they are publicised ~ if I can find that insider! Check here after 5pm tomorrow if you want first news!
ALEX: Rex & Darnell
DALE: Alex & Dennis
DARNELL: Mario & Jen
DENNIS: Rex & Darnell
JENNIFER: Mario & Mikey
KAT: Alex & Syliva
LISA: Darnell & Rex
LUKE: Mario & Lisa
MARIO: Rex & Darnell
MIKEY: Alex & Sylvia
MOHAMED: Alex & Dennis
RACHEL: Mario & Alex
REBECCA (Bex): Alex & Sylvia
REX: Mario & Alex
SYLVIA: Mario & Mikey
The above are always supposing that some of the hms have not been banned from nominating this week for rule breaking in the previous 11 days ~ and a number of them have. We'll just have to wait and see. By my above guesses, that would mean Alex & Mario are up for the public vote. Oh, please let it be Mario to go.

KAT-ISMS!
In the diary room after midnight on Saturday night Kat wanted to wish all the fathers a happy fathers' day:
"I just want to remind you now it after midnight that it is British farters day tomorrow! Happy, happy, happy farters day to all the farters in Great Britain!"
~~~

DARNELL & KAT - THE BB RAP SONG
I enjoyed watching Darnell and Kat in the diary room trying to entertain BB by performing their rap. Darnell did the rapping, Kat supplied the dancing and sound effects and the dancing.
Woke up this morning
They gave us a task
Wore a funny suit
That electrocute my ass
I said darn BB won't you tell me what's next
You got me running round 'n' round like a little insect
You got me feelin' feelin' feelin' like I'm oh so small
But I'm a big boy ~ I'm six foot tall
I said no, no, no, no
I said no, no, no, no
I said no, no, no, no
I said no, no, no, no
I said no, no, no, no
In the words of Kat, hirareeos!

WHAT A FIX!
Across the net almost EVERYONE wanted Mario gone. And he was the bookies favourite to go.
But Steph is voted out.
This was a total fix.
And here's the evidence:
NO-ONE either in the UK or Ireland could vote to evict Mario after around 9.30 despite Davina repeatedly giving out the numbers to vote on.
My calls from that time were answered with the message 'lines have now closed' - remember Davina repeatedly after that gave out the numbers. And continued to do so. UK people too were being told lines were closed.
What is it? Are some 'important' media people making very large bets on the person going? Is this like insider trading? YES. Of course it is. I really hope this blows up and hits some folk very, very hard in the face.
BB - Warning from the masses. You are shooting yourselves in the foot yet again!
UPDATE: Sunday 15 June 2008
Fans of BB who were at Elstree for the eviction on Friday are reporting that the crowd there was totally shocked when it was announced Steph was being evicted. They, like most of the rest of us, were SURE it would be Mario. Is this why, for the first time ever, Davina spoke to the house to announce who was being evicted, away from the crowd?
The Daily Star has reported:
Fans have also flooded Channel 4 with complaints that they tried to dial up on Friday and vote to evict Mario but could not get through. An upset Steph said: “I am still wondering why the public booted me out and kept him in. “It would be unfair on me if a technical fault caused my eviction. I feel robbed anyway.”
For those of you who tried but could not vote to get Mario out because of the line being closed early, there is an online petition:
www.petitiononline.com/bb9vote1/petition.html/
and if it happened to you, please report what time you tried to ring the number and failed, here:

Ok, I'm now off to spend, oh, €25 to do my bit to ensure Mario goes!!! Good job I don't listen to those who said I need to get out more ~ otherwise I might be perched on a bar stool, my €25 spent on G&Ts thereby possibly allowing Mario another week in the house ~ every cent counts my friends.

SLIGHTLY NEW EVECTION PROCEDURE
In order to stop the chanting ("Get X Out!!!" for instance) reaching the delicate ears of the hms, Big Brother have decided that Davina will chat to the hms from INSIDE the studio tonight. Now whether this is because the powers that be know for a fact that Alex will be receiving a lot of negative chants, or whether it is the way it will be from now on I don't know. The rest of the show will be from outside as usual.
And apparently BB is going to shock Davina tonight! As with Task 2, Davina will be wearing a shiney suit and into this suit BB have inserted a shock pad (sort of a muscle stimulator something like those belts people wear that promise to whittle away your waist). During the course of the show BB will send a few pulses through Davina's suit. Could be funny. Or could be the usual attempt at jolly japes which they think will amuse the masses. We shall see.
Oh, and BYE BYE MARIO!!! Don't let the door hit you too hard on the way out tonight. Or there again, hope it does. Whatever, GOODBYE!

WEEK ONE ROUNDUP
So, we are at the end of week 1. How are the hms doing?
ALEXANDRA (Alex)
This hm has done herself no favours at all this week. She has yelled, screamed, frowned, and bullied. She keeps telling us how hard she's had it. Not that hard if, as she also told us, she went to private school. I think she views herself as a really gangsta-girl and the other hms are just there to be bullied into submission by her. Conversely on the couple of occasions she has shown her better side, she shows us she could actually be quite likeable ~ if only she'd get over herself!
DALE
Who?
DARNELL
Talks a lot of sense and has a dry sense of humour, which I like. He seems pleasant but is finding some of the hms difficult to deal with and could be our first 'walker' if things don't improve. He handled Anti-Jen's attack on him very well and although obviously infuriated, argued evenly and without need to get nasty.
DENNIS
Going down a little in my estimations but still funny to watch. When he deliberately gave the hms an electric shock during Task 2 part 2 was classic and gave us some of the funniest moments so far. You can watch their reactions on youtube. He showed great endurance in part 1 of the task where he lasted longest along with Rachel. Could be a contender but needs to sort himself out a bit.
JENNIFER (Anti-Jen)
How can one girl at only 22 years of age have so much to complain about? She has a constant frown and moans nearly 24 hours a day. She is against so many things I am re-naming her Anti-Jen. Looks like she could have the first romance of this year, though she denies it (so far). Dale (who?) is constantly buzzing around her and they talk endlessly. Mostly drivel, but they seem to enjoy each others drivel, live and let live.
KATHREYA (Kat)
Love her. She is kind and caring and very sensitive to others. Granted she could become annoying if one had to live with her round the clock but she has given us some great moments during the show so far. Her joy at learning new words and her resultant pronunciation of them is brilliant. And her addoration of cookies is very funny, she has even taken to savouring invisible cookies coz her cookie jar is now empty. Brilliant. Bound to end up in the final 3.
LISA
Not nice and very false. Her 'adoration' of the oracle, Mario, is just nauseating to watch. And as for her extended massaging of 'Mario's' buttocks ~ that was vomit tv at its very best! Another thing, who in their right mind applies make-up BEFORE having a bath. Bet she's one of those women who swim around the pool on holiday with their heads held above the water incase their 'do' gets ruined. She's probably not real, just a robotic woman placed in the house to annoy our eyes.
LUKE
A real politician in the making. Runs from one group to the other and being friends with both while dissing them behind their backs. His voice is SO annoying ~ he sounds like George Formby on helium. Although I did laugh at a conversation he had with Kat:
Luke: My sister is obsessed with PaWis Hilton. So we have a hampster called Pawis.
Kat: Weally?
Overall though he is just an annoying little gimp ~ you know when a fly appears and buzzes annoyingly around and no matter how many times you swat it you just can't kill it? Well times that by about 20 and that's Luke. You lose the will to live when he talks and talks and talks and talks and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
MARIO
A thick, ignorant know-it-all. Vile. He is a controlling, bullying freak and his choice in underwear is seriously dodgy. And he could bore for Britain ~ he has not stopped droning on about his hate for Steph (hell hath no fury like an control freak scorned) and 'health & safety', a subject Lisa assures us he is well trained in. So well trained in fact that he was able to inform us that a kitchen is a hazardous place. Added to that, he is a complete fantasist. During a conversation with Mikey he was telling him he had been in the army (turns out it was the TAs but what the heck). Mikey asked if he'd see active service and 'Mario' tells him that he was in the army during the first gulf war and he'd been newly married with 2 young kids and hadn't been able to take up arms (or words to that effect). The first gulf war was around 1991. Mario's 2 kids are 8 and 10. Do the maths.
MICHAEL (Mickey)
If Mario would bog off and leave the chap alone we might get to know him better. Still not sure how I feel about Mikey but I think I like him ~ and if we get rid of Mario this week then we'll all get to see a bit of Mikey.
MOHAMED (Mo)
A bit wishy washy so far. I had thought, given that he works as a toy demonstrator, he'd be a bit of fun but he has lacked a bit in the entertainment department. Maybe he's a late bloomer? Have to wait and see.
RACHEL
Love her. She is a total trooper and is such an 'up' person. Her determination to win Task 2 was amazing and her endurance showed what a strong person she is. She is intelligent and sensitive and a total star. Possible winner of BB9.
REBECCA (Bex)
Good grief! Those boobies should come with a government health warning. She is permanently on the brink of unleashing them and nearly emptied the water out of the pool on the night she leapt in with them flying above her. Her penchant for showing them off aside, she seems like a good girl. A bit dense sometimes but basically good. Hasn't really come into her own as yet as she is a bit overwhelmed by some of the stronger hms but she may come to the fore later.
REX
Started off not liking him too much but I'm changing my mind now. He is the only one so far who has stood up to Alex ~ and without any shouting. But I seriously doubt his cheffing skills. Being executive chef in 2 of daddy's (very posh) London restaurants does not mean you are a chef. And his cooking skills in the BB house so far have extended to boiling rice or pasta and opening cans. And is there a little love going to happen between him and Steph?
STEPHANIE (Steph)
Another of the favourites to go tonight. Which is a shame because she has shown some backbone in the house, not to mention she too finds Mario totally revolting. I don't know why she is hiding the fact that she obviously knows Dale (who?). Maybe they went together at one time? Who knows. Very pretty girl when all made up (and had way and above the most fabulous shoes entering the house!) and no doubt even if she goes tonight, we'll be seeing her in magazines for months to come. Just please, don't let her stoop to Nuts or whatever.
SYLVIA
Fabulous looking girl who seems fairly smart except for a couple of things. She is allowing herself to be used as Alex's side kick ~ being a side kick to anyone is never good, and the other, her ott attacking of Mikey during Knickergate was totally unwaranted. She needs to establish herself as Sylvia and quit being an appendage to the house bully. Obviously smart and has seen very bad times having escaped to Britain from Sierra Leone ~ her telling of the soldiers coming in and asking the children if they wanted long sleeves or short sleeves and the kids thinking the soldiers were bringing new clothes whereas they were actually just running a sick joke to find out where they would chop off their arms, was terrifying and heartbreaking. Could end up in the final 5 if not the final 3.

1st EVICTEE: Steph or Mario?
So. Who's going to go on Friday?
For failing Task 1 we have Lisa, Luke, Mario, and Steph up for the public vote.
Today (Tuesday, 10 June) the bookies have Steph as the favourite to go, with Mario next in line. (Odds currently: Stepth 4/9, Mario 2/1, Lisa 10/1, Luke 33/1). But after watching the droning, boring and frankly patronising carry on of Mario over the past day and night (which will be seen on tonight's highlights), I have a feeling Mario may move into pole position to be the first evictee. I can but hope.
And if tonight's highlights don't move Mario into pole position, then after today's task (Task 2, part 1), which will be on tomorrow night's highlights, might just secure it. He is such a big lump of uselessness. I won't spoil the results of the task for those who haven't seen it but believe me, Mario comes out VERY badly. He might have a lantern jaw like a superhero but imo he is more of a superzero.

SERIAL WANNABES
Once again we have the serial wannabes in BB. Why do the powers that be on BB allow themselves to be used as a vehicle to for all these wannabes? And how long do people continue wanting to be wannabes? At what age do they actually give up and say I'm not gonnabe anything in the media and find a real job? I know that they probably think it will be all glitz, glamour, and money following their stint in BB, but in reality they must have some idea it's flash in the pan and come next BB they will be long forgotten in most cases. I suppose you can't expect to remain famous if you're momentarily famous for nothing more than being on a reality show.
So far we know the following are wannabes (and I'll add to this list as more info comes to the fore, as no doubt it will).
LISA has appeared on:
~ Bodyheat
~ Cleanaholics
~ Kitchen Criminals
And she's a former Miss Wigan Body Building circa 1990
MARIO has appeared on:
~ Brits Behind Bars
~ Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
~ Deal or No Deal
~ May have been on Wife Swap
~ May have been on a quiz show called Duel
Plus a number of adverts.
STEPHANIE has appeared on:
~ Michael Barrymore's My Kind of People
~ Got through to the final 25 in Popstars: The Rivals (she lied about her age and was found out)
She has dated Anthony Hutton, previous BB winner so clearly hangs out at the wannabes' clubs.
DALE
He's just a first class wannabe. He wants to be a footballer, probably for no other reason than the money and the girls. He failed his trials for Man U and Wigan at 10 years of age. He is now 21 so I can't really see the Special One sending for him anytime soon.
BEX
Given how quickly she has flashed her considerable boobs I suppose she is in with a view to the lads mags. Openly says she's in it for fame and riches.
KAT
Kat says she has appeared in a soap opera in her native Thailand and has done some presenting there. She would love to be an actress/presenter in the UK too but thinks her English is not yet good enough. I'm thinking the makers of 'What Not To Wear' won't be rushing to employ her.

KEWPIE KAT'S NEW WORDS
That girl is just too funny! She delights in telling the house she has learned a new word.
'Today I learned HIRAREEEIS. H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. Hirareeeis!'.
'C-R-U-T-C-H-I-T. Boy sausage! I learned that from Mario!'
'D-I-N-I-T-Y - dignity!'.
Monday 9 June:
BEA-ACH.
Darnell: Do you know what it means?
Kat: Yes. It means female dog in America.
WEEK 1 ~ MY FAVOURITES & LEAST FAVOURITES
This is the first week and my favourites so far are:
Kewpie Kat, what a little doll she really is and with a pure heart full of love and goodness. Sweet as pie. She seems to come from another era altogether and is full of romance and happiness and thinking everyone and everything is good. I hope she doesn't change.
I'm liking Darnell more and more too. He seems to be fairly level headed and speaks a lot of sense.
I also very much like Rachel. She is so smiley and up-beat and seems to see the good side of everything.
Oh, and the Queen of Scotland ~ Dennis. I'm finding him very funny to watch. Totally camp and as mad as a box of kittens.
Bex seems okay, a bit over fizzed at times, totally clumsy too, but might be a good hm.
On the other side I am finding Alex very hard work. She has a constant smut on her. All she seems to do is moan and moan and moan. Added to that she seems to be fashioning herself on Charly & Nikki. Not a good combination.
And Jennifer. Quite pretty, but OMG what hard work she is. Nothing is right. She is like the antithesis of Rachel. Where Rachel sees good, Jennifer sees bad. Her glass is permanently half full.
I wonder how these opinions will change over the 13 weeks?

TASK 1 - THE WEDDING - FAILED!
Picture 1: The 'Groom', Mario
Picture 2: The 'Bride, Steph
Picture 3: The Wannabe Bride, Lisa
As expected the first task was a fail. It was a 2 part task: one ~ make sure the hms don't find out Mario and Lisa are a couple; two ~ go through with the wedding. Ok, they got through with the wedding but when asked by BB at the wedding meal table who do the hms think are the real couple in the house it was decided that Mario & Lisa were the real couple. (Could the fact they are roughly the same age have been a clue?).
Of course it didn't help matters that from day one Stephanie was totally repulsed by the idea of Mario being her boyfriend (just look at her face on being told in the picture above). And why wouldn't she be? He's (at least) 24 years older than her, and in truth, a little sleazy.
The hms quickly cottoned on to the fact they were not a couple. Their reasons included such things as, they never kissed, she never sat on his knee, she doesn't like him. I was going to say even a blind man would have realised they were not a couple, except for the fact that the only blind man in the house, Mickey, was one of the only ones who actually believed they WERE a couple.
So now we have Lisa, Luke, Mario & Stephanie facing the public vote. I think Luke will go and if not Luke then Mario. Though I fear Mario is developing a following of women who (strangely) find him attractive. Even with his penis shaped nose and bull neck. Or perhaps Steph will go. Too pretty to be liked by a lot of the public, plus she is a tad moany and we do not want that.
I reckon Lisa will definately not go this week ~ many of the public probably feel sorry for her having to have watched her bf pretending (a little too well imo) to be in love with Stephanie.
And on the subject of this silly task. I think Mario would have earned umpteen kudos had he said at the outset NO. It seems that Lisa has been desparate for him to propose for a while. And that she has never been married 'no-one's ever asked me' she told one hm. Mario was well aware of all this and for him to have agreed to go through a fake relationship (to a very pretty girl, 20 odd years younger than Lisa), a fake engagement and asking her to marry him in front of the other hms, and then a fake marriage. Not good. He would have gone up in my estimation so much had he just refused the task straight off, simply on the grounds that it might hurt the woman he is supposed to love. But then, does he actually love Lisa. Hmmm ... I have my doubts.

KNICKERGATE
Knickergate, for those who missed it was one of those much ado about nothing storms that blow up in the Big Brother house, usually many times, during the course of each show.
On the 'Stag Night' Mickey, dressed as a bunny girl, found a pair of knickers in the bath in which he, Mario (the 'Groom'), and the Queen of Scotland, Dennis (also dressed as a bunny), were sitting. He decided to pull them on over his bunny outfit, much to the hilarity of the others (they were slightly drunk).
Into the bathroom come Miss Doom & Gloom ~ Alex, with Syliva and others. Turns out Sylvia owned the knickers and riled on by Miss Doom & Gloom ("out of order! disrespectful!"), proceeded to attack Mickey for doning her knickers. It was absolutely ridiculous. I really felt so sorry for Mickey. All the fizz of the fun of the bath frolicks was quickly disolved by the acid tongued harridans. Sylvia had a total Catherine Tate moment with her rant, all the while backed up by the chimes of Miss Doom & Gloom.
Mario, ever the diplomat, chimes in with 'you could sell them (the knickers) on Ebay ~ that man has a thing about Ebay ~ and make a fortune.' This sent the two harridans into a total tail spin of accusations and screaming.
Okay, IF Mickey had actually gone into the drawers (excuse the pun) of the girls that would have been out of order. BUT he found them in the bath! What sort of person leaves their knickers in a bath which is to be used by 15 other people? And he put them on in a fit of high jinks in the course of a stag do. For goodness sake! They were a pair of knickers which Sylvia hadn't cared enough about to actually wash and put away. And Mickey offered to buy her a replacement pair. This shouting continued for a while with Sylvia telling Mickey to F.Off. And he in turn told her to do the same. Meanwhile the others sat around looking totally embarrased.
Of course that was not the end of it. In the garden later the rants continued with Alex still attacking Mickey who was standing in the garden with Kewpie-Kat standing at his side looking totally hurt and upset at all the fighting. Mickey was trying to explain that it was only done in fun, not in malice, and all the while Miss Doom & Gloom, Alex, ranting on over him "disrespectful!" "I'm not being funny!" (no, you're not so bloody shut up!).
Once again Miss Doom & Gloom had the others all sitting around looking embarrased.
And though I am not very fond of Mario or indeed Luke, I have to hand it to them for going to the diary room to say to BB that they way Mickey was treated was way out of order. Which it most definately was.

KATHREYA
Was she not one of the flipping maddest hms EVER to enter. And the beauty is that she did not in any way intend to be. She is as mad as a box of kittens (or whatever a mad box contains). Her pink lame pantaloons were so so so bad but she clearly thought (or was told) she looked good in them (note: get her mum and friends to go to specsavers pronto).
I was nearly having a turn at seeing her attempt the few steps to the platform before the stairs into the house. But on she plodded up and though most people would not have thought so, she actually made it.
But then came her decent into the house. I was freaking with fear that her gary glitter platforms would cause her to launch herself off the top step and enter the house head first, having crashed throught he door.
And who can fault a child of Ronnie Corbette and a kwepie doll (with possibly a teletubbie thrown in)?
And she munches cookies 24/7 which is probably why she is continually hyper. And she's a Thai Massues ~ How does she stay still long enough to do a massage?
And i thought it kinda funny that she said she comes from a good family and her mother is not a prostitute. I've yet to introduce my mother as 'not a prostitute'. Maybe it's a Thai thing.

Being Sent to Coventry
Being sent to Coventry implies you are being ignored and sent to silence. Cleary the person who thought up that saying never foresaw the emergence of REBECCA! Silence is not a word in her dictionary! Last night she nearly screamed the arrivals into the house after her to death!
And it is very scary seeing a girl with humongous breasts jumping up and down!
She's a nursery nurse and I think the 4 year olds she looks after probably love her ~ she is crazy and fun and just the thing for little kids. But I'm not a little kid so I'll have to see how much I will like her as time goes on. All that said, she could turn out to be great fun. But not fun if one of her bazookas happen to hit a person in the eye!
Oh, and she has kinda copped that Steph and Mario are not a real couple. Smart girl eh?

It's D.A.R.N.E.L.L.
Not flippin' Daniel or Danielle (as some hms pronounced it) or even bloody Donald as 'Mario' called him! What is wrong with these people. The poor fella said his name 10 thousand and five hundred and 65 times ~ I might have exagerated slightly there, but you get the gist. How frustrating to have them all saying the wrong name to him and he having to keep repeating his real name.
Darnell is a black albino (wonder how his mum explained that to his dad immediately after his birth?).
He is a 26 year old songwriter who was born in Ipswich but grew up in St. Louis, USA and is now living back in London. In America he got himself involved in gang culture and was arrested umpteen times. But he has turned over a new leaf since returning to the UK and now mentors youths.
He gives himself 3/10 for attractiveness and says he is insecure. I quite like him and hope he can shine through. Well, if he has a shiny side that is. We will see.

MARIO AND LISA
There is something not quite right about this pair. I have a feeling they are not a couple in the real sense of the word. At a stretch they are a self manufactured couple by which I mean they are together for mutual benefit ~ not love.
They might be perfectly nice people but my first impression is imagine being on holiday in a small apartment complex and meeting them! Dear God! I can think of nothing worse. Well, other than Jade Goody's ex gimp (I forget his name) and Kerry Katona's current gimp together. What a couple they would make ... but I digress.
They seem to think they are some sort of perfect (not!) nearly celeb couple but in reality from what I read he is a civil servant (please don't let him get naked) and previously he was a probation officer who latched tags onto delinquents. AND his name is Shaun or Sean NOT Mario. He obviously thinks he looks a bit Italian and that having the name Mario would make him more attractive to the ladeees (why would he want that if he is in love with Lisa?). He is a father of 2 teenage girls and not an Italian Stallion. Get over yourself Shaun! Oh, and he's 43 ahem. Right. (42 on ch.4 website but he said 43 when he was discussing his enforced relationship with Stephanie). His birthday is next Monday so we'll wait and see what age he says he is then. I reckon he's at least 8 years older than he says.
Lisa is a mother of an 18 year old girl, Sophia, and granted she does look extremely good for 40. She is a sales rep for a beauty company ~ something to do with tanning beds. Perhaps that is why the look like they have been well and truly tangoed, perks of the job and all that. I BET they have a tanning bed in their spare room. Imagine the fights they have over whose turn it is? Oh, and that is not to mention the fights they must have over the lycra room, sorry, bench press room they must have too.
Another thing about them is that they seem to be serial wannabes. From a little investigation I find that they have been in numerous tv reality shows.
MARIO:
~ Brits Behind Bars
~ Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
~ Deal or No Deal
~ Wife Swap (possibly)
Not to mention some toothpaste ad. and an ad. where he was a policeman who had to strip. Bet that killed him.
LISA:
~ Body Heat
~ Gladiators (maybe)
~ Cleanaholics
~ Kitchen Criminals
And she's a former Miss Wigan Body Building circa 1990
He apparently sold his Rolex to pay for her to have a boob job. And inflated her to quite sizeable proportions. And it's not just those bazookas that makes me think of BB7's Lea ~ check out her voice and the mad look in her eyes when the cameras do a close up.

Oh, and he obviously cannot keep a secret. He's a Freemason. And allowed Davina to tell the watching public. Thought all that garter stuff was meant to be secret?
But the worst? The very, very, very worst? She found him on Ebay! I kid you not. She apparently met him when she went to buy a crystal ball he was selling. I wonder if Weird Al Yankovic's 'I Found It On Ebay' is 'their' song?! Listen to it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7k_Z9uAI7U
BB9 ~ I think it is going to be a good year!
Having watched the launch show and bits and pieces of BB live all day, I honestly think that BB9 could be a good year. It's long needed so hopefully I'm right. I think the mix is fairly good this year and 'though there are lots of pretty girls and not much in the way of good looking males, I think they all seem to have strong enough personalities to establish themselves fairly quickly and give us something to watch. Last year was such a major disaster that we BB fans really NEED a good year!
And if BB stick to their promise of being stricter about rule breaking then that is to the good too. That said, last night (first night) the smokers were walking all around the place but maybe BB was just letting them settle in and in fairness perhaps they were not aware of the rule of having to sit in the ashtray to smoke. BB really must stick to their guns and promises this year or they will kill the programme stone dead ~ and they came very near it last year with their carry on bending the rules to suit certain hms. The funny thing is that BB favouring certain hms tends to turn the public against that hm and so in effect BB do the 'chosen one' absolutely no favours whatsoever.
BB must also keep the action fast and happening. Please don't let the show fall into days and days of lulls with nothing happening. AND NO SLEEPING DURING THE DAY!!! Hm sat up all night? Tough. Deal wiv it as a previous hm always said.
And what about giving them some tasks that involve brain power? Slopping about in mud and such is just bloody boring to watch!
Yes, folks, this could be the best year for a while. I feel it in my water. (No, actually I don't - what a gross saying!).
GO BIG BROTHER 9!!!

LOVE CHILD ~ OUR HMS PARENTAGE
Who are our new hms the progeny of? Who are their parents? If you were wondering that then perhaps you should get out more. I obviously do need to get out a lot more because I’ve spent some time investigating their parentage and now I bring my findings to you! (One of the reasons I don’t get out more is that my tongue is firmly wedged in my cheek ~ no, not that one!).

BOOING
No matter how vile I think a hm is I would never, ever advocate booing. How scary must exiting the house be? How terrified must most of those hms be? Not to mention being possibly upset at being evicted? And then to come out to a roaring crowd booing them? It is just horrible ~ and we have all seen the fear on some of those waiting to be evicted. Imagine yourself in their place and then consider whether or not booing is good.
Total silence is the only thing that could be worse.
Better imo that those hms who are loved by the crowd receive resounding cheers and those less popular maybe just a little bit of cheering for some of the good they will have inevitably done in the house. They understand all too well how unpopular they are by the order in which they are evicted. That is sufficient.
And what's this about booing the person on arrival in recent years? We don't even know what they are like, save an edited clip shown by BB prior to their getting out of the car. For goodness sake, give them a chance!
No Booing in BB9! That's my motto.

The Nature of the Beasties
"A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledgehammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic.". From George Orwell's book 1984.
I wonder how many days in until we see such desires manifesting themselves. Last year we had Nikki wannabes (much screaming and shouting in the diary room a la Channell~Chiggy~Hayes) so presumably we'll have some Charly (sarflondonitgirlinit) wannabes this year, full of anger, aggression, bullying habits, and a psychopathically inflated image of self. Actually, I reckon we will have another Nikki wannabe this year too. Guaranteed. So that leaves another 14 which I reckon will be:
~ the poshy totty
~ the motherly figure
~ the older person
~ the arrogant person
~ the uphisownarse boy band lookalike person
~ the intelligent person
~ the dense person
~ the allergic to everything person
~ the one-who-flashes-the-diddies-at-the-drop-of-a-hat person (probably surgically enhanced or if not, they will be following making a few quid from Muts, sorry Nuts, after she is evicted)
~ the 'nice' person (who will turn out to be anything but)
~ the intelligent person (psuedo that is)
~ the I'm so laid back I'm ready to fall over 'I really don't give a shit if I'm evicted' person
~ the 'right on' activist
~ the bitch (male or female)
~ the weepy one
Note I have not said any ethnic minority/coloured/non-English/physically challenged categories ~ I'm afraid all of the above come in all shapes, sizes, colours and abilities. As in life.
Will the 16 be so predictable?
Given that June the 5th is the birthday of Jade Goody, the stars do not bode well for the selection of hms for BB9! Trite I know, but hey, I'm probably right.

INSIDE THE HOUSE
Having now seen pictures of the inside of the house I think anger or passion (or maybe both) was the design instructions given to the set designers. There is an abundance of red which is supposed to engender these two emotions in us.
Let's see, a totally red kitchen, very angular and certainly not large enough for the amount of hms who are to enter the house. Also, a kitchen can be a hot place, a kitchen in the BB house can be very empty of food, what a perfect recipe to get the fighting started eh?
The bedroom or is it 2 bedrooms? There are army camp style beds for some hms with what we are told are itchy scratchy blankets. Not at all comfortable. And then the other bedroom/part of the bedroom is like a cross between a bordello and a room designed by an over enthusiastic watcher of Laurence Llewelyn-Bown programmes. Please BB make the beds in the bordello part uncomfortable ~ it they are as comfortable as they look we will just have a house full of sloths like last year.
On the subject of the bedroom/s. How will it be decided which hm will sleep where? Having seen the entrance staircase (which looks like something from a Ziegfeld Follies set btw) which has 2 sets of stairs (split staircase style), could it be that the side the entering hm choses to go down will denote which bed s/he will get? Letting fate decide which hms will have the big plush beds and which will be itchy, scratchy & downright uncomfortable? Or will the hms get to chose with those who chose the comfy beds lining themselves up for some forfeit later?
The bathroom is painfully vile. You just want to tear your eyes out looking at it ~ all gold taps (a swan!), faux marble and twirls and swirls and I hear it is fully visable from the living room. Lots of bare bottoms and other bits for the viewers again. What fun. NOT! And on that subject, please no more pervy shots by certain camera people filming the hms!!!
The jail. Ok. Will it be used to punish fairly or will it be a case of some can do and some cannot? There MUST be equal treatment of the hms this year. Now that would be new wouldn't it? As for the dolls heads without eyes in the jail, oh well, looks rather silly. Are the hms supposed to be scared? They should have put clowns faces in ~ lots of people are scared of clowns. Or maybe they will use the dolls heads to make voodoo dolls of their fellow hms? Who knows.
I feel a bit sorry for the smokers ~ they'll have to sit in a giant ashtray to smoke. Hopefully some of them will have the backbone to refuse that humiliation. Oh wait, I'm speaking of bb hms so backbone probably not available.
And the stupid mangle is back. For the love of Mike give them a bloody washing machine! It is not punishment their having to wash their clothes by hand. Remember most of these have never had to do a thing in their lives, having mothers who seem to dance attendance on them, so having to wash their own clothes at all is punishment. Just give them a washing machine so we don't have to suffer upturned bums of varying sizes leaning over the bath to do the washing! And then their having to be shown by the 'mother' of the house (which inevitably there will be - JUST NOT CAROL please!) how to mangle their clothes.
And the diary room? I love the chair and the red walls. The chair looks like an alien ant and the undulating walls look super groovy, baby ~ sort of like huge red ravioli squares! Best room in the house so far imo.
