I don't recall that Mary simply "fancying" Roberto was your proposed bet, Alex, was it?

You could try bringing back Mary to see if the at-a-distance supposed lusting actually comes to anything. While you're at it, could you bring back Princess Diana too, 'cause she was my best friend and an inspiration to every one of us?

17:06 / 05.06.05

No, admittedly not. I still validated though - whatever small crumbs that come my way in this world of ours are usually enough, y'know ?

17:10 / 05.06.05

Awww. Okay.

I'm somewhat discomfitted to find myself starting to quite fancy Maxwell, of all people, in that Morrisseyesque mildly self-loathingy heteropressor-next-door way. I suspect he could become quite a lust icon on the slightly strange 'gay chav' scene...

I mean, just loooook at that little faaace!

17:21 / 05.06.05

Perhaps you've been watching a little too much BB Ganesh..tee hee.

17:21 / 05.06.05

Perhaps you haven't been watching enough.

17:33 / 05.06.05

Possibly true, haven't seen it in a couple of days, still thinking of Max being evicted unprepared for his status as strange gay chav icon cracks me up. What odd ,but not unbelievable, ideas you have.

17:40 / 05.06.05

Not really seeing it myself, Warewullf...

Yeesh! Bad pic!! He looked a lot better on the show!

Oh ganesh I am so disssttttuuurrrbbbeedddd. I'm hoping it's a case of attraction until he speaks.

18:18 / 05.06.05

The slightly strange 'gay chav' scene.

Fans of this, if it's what I think it is, may enjoy the new single by noted pop combo The Ordinary Boys, and in particular, the video. ( Threadrot ends )

19:43 / 05.06.05

Oh ganesh I am so disssttttuuurrrbbbeedddd. I'm hoping it's a case of attraction until he speaks.

Pretty much. I'm not fully fluent in Cockernee, so I probably miss one word in three. He is cute, though, in a pasty, buttermilk-coloured, synthetically-fibred kinda way. I reckon he's the housemate most likely to garner a gay lust-following this year...

19:58 / 05.06.05

Big Brother has requested that Science remain in his bedroom until further notice.

I doubt if this is the first time Science has heard that.

I think... oh I don't know, would the next two months be long enough for him to stay there ?

19:59 / 05.06.05

Oh, G, get real. He's white bread and he's a pan half of Sunblest at that.

20:13 / 05.06.05

Mate, what he is right, once he gets out of there, is totally brown bread*, as Maxwell might say.

*Cockney rhyming slang - authentic mate, authentic.

21:15 / 05.06.05

I reckon he's the housemate most likely to garner a gay lust-following this year...

I reckon Anthony is the one being talked about in gay bars up and down the country...

21:24 / 05.06.05

I reckon Anthony is the one being talked about in gay bars up and down the country...

He's the most obviously scene-queeny: those eyebrows would fit right in in any one of the many coffee-shops in Old Compton Street. The gay scally/chav scene is hee-yoooge, though; if he's there long enough (and manages to avoid spewing too much more bigotry), I'm willing the bet the gay press'll start rooting for Maxwell...

21:25 / 05.06.05

Nah, Science is the only one who might qualify as attractive. And he's a numpty.

21:42 / 05.06.05

I have it on good authority (Digital Spy forum) that Maxwell is already featuring on certain gay 'scally ladz' style newsgroups...

23:06 / 05.06.05

There's a certain innocence about Maxwell, I guess, in spite, or possibly because of, all the terrible things he says.

Anthony seems a bit too eager to please to be an innaresting conquest in the sort of circles that are being discussed here*, I'm supposing.

* The most brutal end of a long, long night which finished up in the Fridge Bar, where dreams go to fret.

You've got three bullets and you must kill three members of the Big Brother House (no abstaining people), who do you murderise?

I watch Maxwell, Science and Sam bleed to death.

Tryphena Absent

00:52 / 06.06.05

You know, three bullets just isn't enough. Close runner-ups include Roberto, Craig, Saskia and Anthony. Obviously I wouldn't kill Moonpig.

01:21 / 06.06.05

Have you been watching any of tonight's live footage? On the strength of this evening's odiousness (as gleaned through live updates), I choose to murder

Craig (because, having regained a modicum of confidence, he's becoming much more of a BitchQueen - and he is poisonous),

Moonpig (because her treatment of Sam tonight is, by all accounts, reprehensible)

and

Science (to keep the volume down).

I'll readily admit I'd feel guilty about not ridding the world of a Tory and/or two junior bigots who may even breed but there y'go. My bullets, my choice.

01:25 / 06.06.05

'Sam, I think you need to take a stress pill, calm down, and try and think things over.'

Tryphena Absent

01:27 / 06.06.05

Moonpig and co. have hidden Sam's make up bag. There is a massive hunt going on because apparently it also contains her 'pills and everything else as well.' Why doesn't she just tell them it has her contraceptive pill in it (even if it doesn't) so they give it back. It's obvious that they've hidden it somewhere. Unfortunately the housemates this year are so incapable of having a normal conversation or asking a question that no one's going to return it.

This is the most fucking absurd thing I've ever seen.

01:27 / 06.06.05

I'm not a fan of Sam's, by any means, but the way she's being targetted here is prrretty unpleasant...

01:38 / 06.06.05

On topic though;

Roberto, Science ( especially him, ) and Moonpig are who I'd personally deal with. Actually they... Ah, never mind.

I'd need a Nobel Prize for Peace to get away with saying even half of that, and even then, I'm not sure.

Tryphena Absent

01:40 / 06.06.05

The thing is that it's a make-up bag and she's got stressed pretty damn fast- didn't ask for it back, just lost it. I think this is a joke that's gone totally wrong. It went wrong because they don't speak to each other. They just yell. The others have got it wrong because they should have returned it and apologised as soon as they noticed her panicking.

01:45 / 06.06.05

This all comes hot on the heels of tonight's spot of comedy bisexuality. Moonpig and Vanessa snog and grope, while the hetboys look on, then invite Anthony to join them.

Anthony declines, but points out that, if it were the Outside World or Later Than Week One or He'd Had More Alcohol or There Was An 'X' In The Month, he'd be strrrraight in there, and there would've been "some arses moving". Science urges him in: "You may as well get freaky, there's girls in there that are leaky".

Yum.

Tryphena Absent

01:48 / 06.06.05

Great rhyming Science. Not.

01:48 / 06.06.05

'Anthony... It's you isn't it, Anthony ?'

'Fuck off !'

'Are ye all right there, mate ?'

'I... like, man, can you imagine the friggin' nightmare I went through ? All them people on the telly were laughing, like it was almost like no one took us seriously ?'

'Tequila ?'

'Fuckin' allreet ! And keep 'em comin' !!!'

'Yeah. No problem.'

01:55 / 06.06.05

The thing is that it's a make-up bag and she's got stressed pretty damn fast- didn't ask for it back, just lost it.

I suspect she lost it more because she knew she was being targetted by the whole group than because the bag was missing and/or because the main complaint levelled at Sam is that she communicates through giggles and simpers, glares and 'looks'. This suggests that

a) as someone whose main means of communication (and probably self-esteem) is tied to her facial appearance and body, losing her make-up bag - the source of defensive mask and warpaint - is particularly stressful

and

b) her verbal communication skills are relatively poorly developed, which may be hampering her actually asking them to give the sodding thing back.

Interestingly, Craig seems to be playing a major part as catalyst of this rather sorry episode. One wonders whether his "destroying people's lives" line referred less to his own ability to wither people (which, as we've seen from his own tears, is fairly minimal) than to his skill at coordinating individuals mercilessly against a single scapegoat.

Tryphena Absent

02:03 / 06.06.05

What amazes me is that no one else has asked either. All it takes is 'can we have Sam's make-up bag back please.' Firm, gentle and without recrimination but there isn't a person capable of politely asking because they've all created their own individual tensions in the house. So odd that they've got themselves into this position after such a small amount of time and the others aren't going to be able to confess without a shitstorm now. Yowzer.

02:07 / 06.06.05

Possibly worth mentioning that this isn't the first time this week Sam's belongings have gone missing, which makes it seem a little more like classic bullying than just a bad joke...

02:10 / 06.06.05

But yes, I was just thinking it's seemed almost like the dynamic for an entire series of Big Brother (the conflicts, anyway) compressed into the first week. They may have gone too far in selecting confrontational housemates this year, and may be forced to airdrop in someone more conciliatory.

For all the good that'll do.

Tryphena Absent

02:17 / 06.06.05

Oh, that is nasty.

02:18 / 06.06.05

They're going to have to try though, aren't they ?

Otherwise this year's Big Brother is going to be totallly 'Leviathan'
