Totally- I think the booing will have hurt him more than seeing the headlines did.

I have to admit I found Barrymore's impression of Maggot to be pretty funny.

So do they vote the winner tonight and that's all? Or do they evict 5 first?

Fairly new to this myself, but I'm guessing they'll announce/evict the five losers first. Kind of like Miss World. Only hopefully there won't be a swimwear round.

BALLS!!!
Got all settled in with me beer and fags, only to find that the crap pizza place over the road's closed, and I don't have any numbers! Damn you, crap pizza place, for your inability to provide me with crap pizza while I watch the final. I guess you really ARE crap.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Traci's out. I think I might cry.

18:50 / 27.01.06
Oh, Traci is quite sweet, isn't she?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
18:55 / 27.01.06
Practically Christlike- didn't even have a bad word to say about Pete.

Who's out, too.
 
 
Ganesh
18:56 / 27.01.06
Traci = relentless bubblemeister (and I mean that in the best possible way).

Must admit, I thought Maggot would be out before Pete. I suspect he'd be nearer the top if he hadn't allied himself with Galloway t'other night, in the Chantelliar thing.

She seems incapable of being negative. It is nice. She is nice... I can't remember anybody on any big brother being so relentlessly upbeat...almost to the point of being weird....but you can't dislike her because she is genuinely nice.

I think Pete is the first contestant I've ever believed when he says he likes being booed.
 
 
Ganesh
19:02 / 27.01.06
Oh dear. Davina interview with Pete not going toooo well. "Off! Off! Off! Off! Off! Off!"

He takes the booing as indicative that he's "still got what it takes to make people think". Because, obviously, one uses more of one's brane in a negative response than in a positive one.

He's coming across better in his interview than in the house, much like Rula.

(Appeals to the sky) What kind of sick world values a cunt like that higher than someone like Traci?
 
 
Ganesh
19:06 / 27.01.06
Almost everyone comes across better in the interview than in the House. Dennis being a major exception.

Pete's another worshipper at the altar of martyred Saint Barrymore.
 
 
Ganesh
19:10 / 27.01.06
Awww, poor Preston. He deserved a little better, I think.
 
 
Smoothly
19:16 / 27.01.06
Really shocked that Preston's out already. Can Chantelle still win it?
 
 
Ganesh
19:19 / 27.01.06
I'd imagine Chantelle's up against Barrymore to win...
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
19:23 / 27.01.06
Totally- people can still vote, yes? I'm guessing a lot of his fanbase will switch to Chantelle for the final run...
 
 
Ganesh
19:24 / 27.01.06
I'd imagine so. Lovely, lovely boy.
 
 
Tom Paine's Bones
19:28 / 27.01.06
That seems a fair position for Maggot. A reflection of the fact that he seems like a nice lad, but wasn't involved in that much of the essential viewing.

See, I think C4 did both Maggot and Traci a disservice by not including ANY of their five-hour drunken all-night chat in the highlights show. Definitely sold me on Traci, and was the thing that made me start seeing Maggot in a much better light too.
 
 
Smoothly
19:42 / 27.01.06
I really hope that Preston and Chantelle don't get together. I really liked his 'No shame' stand on having a close friendship with someone of the opposite gender that wasn't about sex. I hate the 'When Harry Met Sally' presumptions about the relationships like those.

Yeah, I can believe that. With not having E4, I am very reliant on the highlights show, which I'm aware skews things somewhat. I also think that the BB format naturally favours those who are group performers as opposed to those better one on one.

On top of that, I did think that Maggot's comment in the diary room at a time of high tension that he'd gone in to have a laugh with some interesting people was pretty telling. He could have been quite different with a more laidback house atmosphere.

If the public image of GLC is accurate, it's also possible that he may have been so quiet at first because he was missing the weed. I know that when I used to smoke heavily, I'd have found suddenly not having it pretty difficult in social situations.

Watching both has been quite an education into how documentary makers can, through editing, impose a narrative onto raw footage.

God, yeah - and checking in with DigitalSpy every now and again (last year was the first time I've done that; it's BB crack) adds an extra bizarro dimension...
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
20:11 / 27.01.06
BB Crack indeed... I've been on there as much as here this last couple of weeks!

Chanteeeeeeelle!

Her reaction was oddly affecting a la the time she was 'outed' as a non-celeb to the other housemates. Chantelle's quite the sweetie.

Better result for Barrymore too, I think, coming second.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
20:24 / 27.01.06
I think so. I have to say, I'm actually very happy for Michael, even though I've always thought he was a cock. I hope he goes on to have another successful TV career which I'll ignore, just like the last one.

Chantelle's "are they SURE???" comment was lovely, too.

'Sfunny, last year I remember asking on here whether people didn't just support the nastiest people on the grounds they made the best telly. Now I'm actually watching the fucker, I find myself tuning in in hope of an argument, but still wanting to reward niceness. Interesting.

Ah, fuck, I can't see this for a few more hours yet - I shouldn't have just checked in here, I should have waited to be surprised.

Still, yay for her, she's probably the most deserving. Strangely enough.

Funny that everyone's saying Traci is so sweet and lovely and charming - she's obviously learned a few things since her previous appearance on a reality show...
 
 
Ganesh
20:26 / 27.01.06
If I were Davina, I'd insist on conducting the Barrymore interview holding a hairdrier which I'd direct into his face. Just to see if I could make salt-tracks form.

Someone posted that article on DS... I have to admit, as academic credentials go, co-owning Ace Frehley Online isn't really up there!

Wow. Perhaps she's on really effective mood stabilisers now? Or been spayed?

As the webmaster of www.petercrissrules.org, I take severe umbrage at that comment.

Barrymore came across okay there.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
20:36 / 27.01.06
I really have been spending too much time on DS.

I nearly said "lol" to Cameron!
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
20:37 / 27.01.06
Yeah, Barrymore really DID come across okay there.
