I think Moonpig probably does have other resources unhinted at in her (Endemol-edited for maximum BitchQueeniness) video interview. I wonder to what extent she's had to rely upon them in the past. It may be that being placed in an environment where her mountainous cleavage isn't her prime social currency may actually do Moonpig a favour.

I suspect she'll survive within the house long enough for us to see past the tittage.

MaryScoop from another forum:

"mary was two years below me at drama school although she only lasted a year. She was a very pleasant girl with a touch of weirdo about her, well im not one to judge as i quite like that in people. Anyway, its not an act. Around two years after she left we did a kids play together and she often spoke about how her religious parents thought she was the devil. Although she annoyed me at times as she'd just decide not to say her lines onstage and just sit down which was a lot of hard work for everyone else to get around, especialy as she was mean't to be abright bubbly character."

Intriguing. I thought she was exaggerating/embroidering the story about having an ex-priest and ex-nun for parents. Perhaps she is, and her parents are just yer common-or-garden religious nutjobs - or perhaps, even then, she was constructing her spoookykoookster persona.

The drama/acting thing jumps out again. In this week's Heat (so sue me), they print that Mary apparently claimed to have been a pole dancer, but "I was playing a role". She strikes me, though, as someone who wouldn't necessarily have a clear idea when she was playing a role and when she wasn't...

22:33 / 31.05.05

Then there was her tryout for the White Stripes...

BEGIN: appalling threadrot. (It's so bad that it's about Heat magazine. It's Barbekickoffable I tell yer.)

I am unstoppably interested in the 'Heat' reference made by you, Ganesh. It has nothing to do with Big Brother, I just want to know this: if I read the "Skinniest Celebs Ever!" article in it, will it make me feel better or worse in the long run?

END: appalling threadrot.

23:11 / 31.05.05

Ummm...

*looks back through 'Heat'*

Welllll, Olulabelle, if you've only recently returned from visiting concentration camps in Poland, you may be struck at the similarity between glancing through 'The Most Shocking Skinny Pics Yet' and committing Nazi atrocities...

Just look at the arms, that's my advice, in fact I suggest you rent Chicago and fast forward to the scenes featuring Zellweger. Look at her arms. Think about how much better she looks in Bridget Jones, revel in the fact that people who eat cake look better than people who eat lettuce.

Back to Big Brother... quite boring right now. Too much bitching. There are too many people in the house to make bitching truly interesting. Give it a week people, then you'll have some behaviour to criticise.

Maxwell would do time for Paris Hilton. What a surprise, I never would have guessed.

I am intrigued that Kemal's favourite book is All Quiet on the Western Front and his favourite film is ... Sister Act?
From the sublime to the ridiculous in one fell swoop ...

What's ridiculous about All Quiet On The Western Front?

That it grossly sentimentalises and overstates the case for pacifism by melodramatising the horrors of war?

10:22 / 01.06.05

First World War? First World Walk in the Fooking Park, more like.

19:19 / 01.06.05

Hmm. Slightly pathetic reasons for nomination thus far...

I'm loving Makosi, for her unapologetic relish in her task. Lesser souls might've wept, "it's so unfaaair; I have to make people disliike meee" every three minutes, in the Diary Room. She's also sharply intelligent and surprisingly (given her slightly bimbescent first appearance) resourceful.

If you note the order in which they come, you'll see that AQOTWF is the sublime and SA the ridicuous .... ahhh, I see what you did there. Ya got me, you joker!

All right, I'm sure Sister Act is sublime in its Own Special Way (TM).

19:27 / 01.06.05

Ganesh, how can you possibly say that?

I give you Derek on Saskia: "Because I do actually think it's wrong to substitute boobs for thought."

Can you come up with good reasons to evict someone after a few days in a house with them? They don't really know each other yet.

19:36 / 01.06.05

Can you come up with good reasons to evict someone after a few days in a house with them?

I expect I could do, yes.

Makosi's double-bluffing is pretty sharp. Vanessa's nomination of Mary seems to be based on NO WIRE HANGERS! And Craig - "he swings a lot", which is true.

19:39 / 01.06.05

No-one nominated Moonpig! Yay Moonpig!

Tryphena Absent

19:43 / 01.06.05

Yay!

Saskia really irritates me.

19:46 / 01.06.05

Has it struck the Big Brother people that perhaps I would like the chance to vote for the most nominated people? I want to vote Sam out, she's extremely boring but because they want to fuck with the housemates I don't get that opportunity.

Of course I do get to vote out Maxwell... I guess there's a silver lining to every cloud.

19:46 / 01.06.05

Saskia really irritates me.

I'm actually liking her a lot more after the Saskia/Mary spat - particularly after Mary's insistence that other housemates form a rustic chorus. With the non-racist racist on this one...

19:50 / 01.06.05

Nina: Can you come up with good reasons to evict someone after a few days in a house with them?

Ganesh: I expect I could do, yes

He never went home from our first date and had had his mail redirecvted after one week, so I expect he could do, indeed.

How hard can it be for Maxwell to remember three syllables: Ma /ko/ si? His continual reference to her as Makhazi is objectionable and I hope she kicks him in the balls if he does it in front of her. He is a cheeky chappie, isn't he? Fucking wanker.

Good for her, passing her secret mission. And I got the impression that she was dumb when she first came in. Turns out to be quite a player. Shrewd, dude.

And nobody voted for the Moonpig. Nina has been casting protective spells over her. Hooray!

Did I speak too soon?

19:55 / 01.06.05

Mary and Craig?

Wellll, I guess he's soon gonna be The Only Gay Not In The House.

19:58 / 01.06.05

Expect the unexpected!

19:58 / 01.06.05

Craig is gonna loose solely based on his video interview/intro thing.

Ahhahhaahaa!! My heart would bleed but it's doubled-up with mirth!

20:00 / 01.06.05

Craig / Mary? Oh, so torn... You've made it so hard, Makosi!

Looking forward to someone else being the unlucky housemate next week.

20:04 / 01.06.05

Great, so Mary's out of the house because she's a practising white witch. I don't think that Mary is a particularly intelligent witch or one who's examined the issues surrounding the term she applies to herself, I don't even particularly like her but I'm sick of the first person out of the house being the weirdest female member. I feel disappointed that she's going in the first week. Something I'm pretty certain of considering she's up against a pretty average and bitchy hairdresser.

I don't get to the vote out Maxwell or Sam, the type of people who would naturally vote Mary out of the house because she's a bit weird and the two most boring members of the house, Science who's an incredibly frustrating individual or Anthony and Vanessa who have hardly featured on my Big Brother radar. But no, retarded Makosi goes for Mary and Craig who at least spread dissent. And look at Kemal's face- you know he's sitting their wondering why she chose those two. It's because she a ditz.

20:06 / 01.06.05

I'm genuinely torn on this one. Craig's video interview was surely the most repellent in the history of Big Brother, but his story is far from played out (we've yet to witness the Destroyer, and even Craig's sexuality's buttoned-up)... and Mary irritates me on a visceral level, not least because so many have readily bought into her bargain-basement everygoth bollocks.

Yesss... I think I'll be voting Mary. Craig'll be out, though.

20:09 / 01.06.05

Was doing a thing today where I had to sashay in as the Big Cheese, full of knowledge and authority, and take people through a process all day long. I was finding it hard going because they were a tough crowd and I'm not an expert in their clinical specialism but had to help them find ways to improve their performance.

Then, at lunchtime, someone mentioned BB and I was off and running! Meant that throughout the afternoon session, half the group chatted away and behaved liked my best friends, while the other half looked at me like I had two heads because of my depth of knowledge on this trivial subject. I think my claims that it was the analysis of group dynamics that appealed to me had failed to convince.

Anyway, lots of supporters there for Saskia and her real boobs and they didn't like the Moonpig and her false ones. Are her boobs false then? I was surprised that, in this enitrely female group, the discussion amongst the BB watchers was all about big breasts and the wisdom of augementation surgery. None of the men got a mention.

I thought it was the other way round and moonpig's were real.

20:11 / 01.06.05

Great, so Mary's out of the house because she's a practising white witch.

I'll be voting her out because she's so patently not a practising white witch. I don't think even she believes that crap she's spouting, and I think she's "weird" in the way Avril Lavigne's "punk". I don't necessarily agree with Makosi's somewhat bollocky, Christian-flavoured reasoning, but I think she played her cards well (initially nominating her reserve two, gambling on having won her mission) and is anything but ditzy/"retarded".

20:23 / 01.06.05

What evidence have you got that she's not? Doesn't that show an unwillingness to believe that wiccans are really that flaky rather than an actual knowledge of what she is or isn't? Outline it for me, tell me why you think she's not a witch?

I think she's not a practising white witch because I haven't seen her practise.

Has their been a full moon since they entered the house? A solstice, a holiday? She has a witches broom, presumably she uses it to sweep the circle, they don't generally actually sweep anything tangible up with any effectiveness.
