If he's re-e-eally unlucky, Anthony could have fathered "one of them".

I'd like Maxwell to go simply because, to the Chimp and the Crimpy Gimp, it seems inconceivable that the public favour Science over their friend.

Dear Makosi, in the event of possibly conceiving a child it may be wise to ask Big Brother for emergency contraception.

If, as she claims, nothing happened and in nine months time the Spawn of Big Brother is born, does that mean we're looking at some kind of Holy Endemol Immaculate Conception? Soma, spunk in the water, miracles, etc; it all makes for great ratings.

Conception, certainly. The penis/spunk/vagina thing would tend to render it other than Immaculate, I'd have thought.

Kemal in the Diary Room: consistently wonderful.

More tears from Eugene, this time on failing in his secret mission. He's not winning many friends, ol' Eugeek: not only has he already attracted Orlaith's nomination, but even those housemates who initially seemed responsive now dismiss him casually:

Derek and Kemal immediately knew something was up. "What secret mission is he on?" Kemal wondered.

"God, I wish I'd gone in there because he'll f*** it up," said Derek.

Can you imagine the headlines: Big Brother Baby Born. Erk!

Well, at least Craig won't be the baby of the house any more...

I suspect Craig would dropkick any actual neonate over the wall. He's not good with competition.

Children are gifts from god, whatever happened in that pool was meant to happen but I would be disappointed... If I am I'll be happy, it's just that I won't tell Daddy

Meep.

But she's made up her mind, she-e's keeping the baby.

Fucking hell, they're getting carried away on the drama of maybe having become pregnant...

Well, it would be a rather terrifying prospect. Buuut, as someone who upto now has only been following the thread, not the TV show, when did the sex actually happen? Wasn't it only a day ago? She wouldn't know by now, is she actually saying 'oops I had unprotected sex' in a highly dramatic fahsion?

In which case, as Nina points out, a different pharmaceutical product should probably be on her shopping list, or at least in addition to the test kit?

Is 'Miss Russia' Craig?

Hmmm.... Maybe it is Immaculate Conception of a kind, or Immaculate Orchestration...or something. Maybe, like in 'Demon Seed', the camera and computer system at BB Control has gained sentience and no-one knows (or they're not telling us). Maybe BB stage-managed the whole thing and is (even as I type) currently "perfecting" the ultimate egg with nutrients and chemicals planted in Makosi's food, etc. What if, when it's Makosi's turn to leave, the doors slam shut in her face before she can escape and meet her screaming, spitting, and booing public. I'd love that. Big Brother becoming Grand Nanny and taking control of its seed. ... Sorry for the threadrot...

20:48 / 05.07.05
Mind you, there's never any evidence that the girls have their period while they're in the house... I always thought they were advised to take the pill back to back, which might mean she's just being melodramatic/paranoid?

GGM, it's kinda difficult to know whether "unprotected sex" actually took place. Drunken snoggery, tit-fondling in the pool, Anthony getting a stiffy and possibly inserting it in Makosi. Of course, it being the pool, there was always the possibility of floating spunkiness. Makosi - who frequently embroiders events for her own purposes - initially told Anthony that actual "sex" didn't take place, but later claimed (to Kemal and Vanessa) it did.

Who knows? As a nurse, she should be aware that a pregnancy test's gonna be slightly useless here.

Is tonight's highlights show being skewed in favour of Maxwell, by showing loooads of footage of Science being a tit? As well as the shouty-shouty stuff with Orlaith, he's also suggested that women's opinions don't count - although whether he was talking about the risible "man points" pissing contest or generally, it's hard to say.

Slightly disappointed in him, to be honest. I'd have thought the presence of hardon around soapy titwanking women were something of a clue to Anthony's sexuality. Clearly Derek has never worked in Top Shop.

'Nesh: thanks, peering at Digitalspy/C4 wasn't particularly illuminating...

But why are we wasting our time with this lot when we could be anticipating the Barbe-tastic Beauty and the Geek

GGM: Because it's Big Brother; it's what I do every summer to bump up my post count...

Digital Spy's okay for getting a very general sense of relatively recent events in the House. It's unbelievably busy, though, so anything that happened more than 24 hours ago is likely to be buried under a welter of near-identical "MAKOSI = WORST HOUSEMATE EVER?????" type candyfloss.

His Majesty The Baby:

"No one feels sorry for me. Why should I feel sorry for other people? If someone sees me crying, they walk past. They couldn't give two fucks. I get on with it."

Craig is easily the housemate that irritates me most at the moment. More than his galaxy-spanning selfishness, his capacity for rewriting history to place himself dead centre, as nobly suffering martyr, makes me want to stick forks in his kidneys. He seems not to register acts of genuine kindness (Derek not walking past him when he was crying) or recall the times he's acted callously, but heaps undeserved guilt on those who aren't acting in accordance with his perception of how the world should work. He's the epitome of the pushy bottom, the submissive who controls by guilt-tripping.

I want him out.

23:35 / 05.07.05
I agree. The little tit will hate himself when he gets out and views the footage. My vote is to give Eugene a glass.

I feel so dirty, I think I need to watch something ultra-violent to kick-start my brain and flush out the system... How do you find the strength to watch this? (no offence meant, honestly)
 
 
Tryphena Absent

I can't stand him either and haven't for weeks in fact. The mute button is my friend.

Poor Science. I hate it when you try and do that with a dustbin-bag and it goes wrong. I still feel dirty. Like after I watched 'Gummo' at the cinema. As 'Tony said:

"I need to brush my teeth..."

G'night.
 
 
Ganesh

I can't stand him either and haven't for weeks in fact.

His toadying identification with the aggressor (shedding previous allies to become Team Saskia's mascot) was the point at which I began to really dislike him, I think.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
00:02 / 06.07.05
It started a bit earlier for me... I began to find him horribly hypocritical very quickly, a little before moonpig left.

Science is cleaning bins. That is so sweet.
 
 
Ganesh
00:08 / 06.07.05
I found him hypocritical too, but wanted him to stay in the hope that we might see him unpick some of his sexual knots. I've a horrible feeling he might've entrenched himself further.

He's essentially a gay gimp.

When Craig cut his poor little tootsie-footsie: "But I bleed a lot though..."

Yes Craig, you will. Oh...you will...
 
 
Ganesh
00:57 / 06.07.05
Will Craig bleed? Nahh. Only if he cuts himself, which is always a possibility, I guess.

Someone on Digital Spy was recalling an earlier episode when Roberto had put a lead on Craig and walked him around the garden as his 'dog', and Craig had loved it - and commented that the creepy thing is, whereas Roberto had seemed to understand that he wasn't being nasty to Craig, that he enjoyed the humiliation, Anthony seems less aware of the concept. Craig is plainly turned on by certain types of humiliation (as evidenced by his Sebastianesque "I'm the gimp" conversation, when he felt Eugene was muscling in on his patch) and distressed by others. It seems a little unfair on Anthony to expect him to intuitively provide the right kind of abuse when Craig wants it, and apologise when he gets it wrong; it's a little like having a clandestine SM affair with someone without their consent...

But on the inside Craig bleeds a lot. Bless him. The boy needs therapy.

I'm convinced his foot injury had something to do with the intense hatred I was (and I'm sure I wasn't alone in) feeling for him at the time. That's right, come on everybody, focus. Let's see how he handles gangrene....

I really don't want Science to leave, he's the most entertainingly random housemate in there. He alternates wildly between ranting "street poet" and apparently channelling an apologetic five-year old. It's great. He's the only one left who goes mental for no reason God nor man can figure out. Everyone else just hides in their little groups and mutters.

I have an almost physical need to see Maxwell evicted, I've had enough of his horrible little smile, plus I don't like the way the Post-Saskia's are beginning to increase their attacks on Eugene.

We purebreed geeks must stand together.
