It's still fairly baffling... but yes, Grace may be many things, but stupid isn't one of them.

Lea: "I'm very confused" - you said it, lady. I wouldn't change my defence of her right not to button up above, but I might not defend her in any other way ever again. Jesus. How anyone can argue that Richard's only being a mediator to get status, or that he could just opt out, or that he doesn't have the patience of a saint, after this, is beyond me.

I'm confused on chronology though - is what we're watching before or after Sam gets sucked into the anti-Richard camp?

oh dear, Richard had the right idea then but came over a bit dictatorial. poor sam, sobbing in the loos. she was somewhat misguided last night and going along with the coven's homophobic bitchfest in hopes of desperately-wanted social acceptance from the 'pretty' girls that she identifies with, only for them to completely fuck her over the next day.

they really have dragged in some pitiful excuses for human beings this year. and lea, christ, you're 35 or 36 or whatever it is you've decided on for the current conversation, have you no nous at all? no judgement of character?

Lea is like a wind-up toy. You just wind her spring, set her off in the middle of the room, retire to a safe distance - *smash* *thump* *crash* - collect her at the door and put her back in your pocket.

Although I must admit there was a great sense of "WHOAH!!!" when Nikki started further confusing issues on the patio.

My attitude towards Nikki is contradictory. She is a great force for all that is wrong in the world, yet actually seeing it happen is a joy to behold.

Grace, on the other hand, is awful. And (it struck me today) looks like a younger, more attractive Judy Finnegan. Which is a strange thing to behold.

Richard had the right idea then but came over a bit dictatorial.

Only because he's the only one in the House even trying to cut through the Gordian knots of hesaidthatshesaidthathesaid bitchery. The other males are either too passive or too dim, Aisleyne's very sensibly keeping her nose clean and the ever-growing coven swirls in endlessly self-referential brews of stupid, stupid misguided vitriol.

I am on the verge of simply posting gibberish out of sheer frustration.

I give up. This was a good edit for Richard today, though. They've just presented the bitchrants and his reasonable intercessions.

Lea, GET A FUCKING GRIP!!!

Confide in the evil Grace if you must, or preferably Richard- just don't confide in Lisa, who is the weapon of mass destruction they both want to use to destroy the other!!!

Haven't you SEEN Dark Star? Conversations with a bomb NEVER go well.

Moi aussi; that was a headslappingly idiotic Faustian pact I just watched Leah make. I did actually slap my head.

sweet simple glyn of the ever-seeing eye. i thought he was a complete cypher when he came in, but he has a certain simple charm.

I want Lea out almost more than I want Grace or Lisa out now. She has the memory of a goldfish in addition to her many other failings (poor judge of character, inability to take criticism even when it's not even criticism). I don't think Richard came across dictatorial and I don't think he's even trying to 'destroy' Grace. At this rate he's going to end up being literally crucified by the rest of them.

...I did see him finally rallying the troops on the live feed earlier though, which was reassuring. Except that his 'troops' consist of a pacifist (Pete) and a Glynn (Glynn). Who are both awesome, but not exactly fighting fit.

That's where he's going wrong, I reckon.

Nikki evidently wants a man composed of elements of the entire England squad - John Terry?! Is John Terry attractive?

Strangely, she picked Beckham first. Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is narcissism.

Sounds like I picked the right night to detox from BB with the Smallville season finale. It's a Monday, I don't need the stress.

Wow, what a shock plot twist ending! But I think in some ways it was inevitable - in a nice bit of editing, they preceded the Richard/Grace bonding with that bit with Grace & Mikey in Nowhere, in which Grace confirms what we might have suspected, i.e. that she has nothing but contempt for her lieutenants. She might as well have said "get back to your post, Lisa!" It's not surprising that in the end the only person she respects is Richard.

Oh dear. Sam suffers terribly from foot and mouth.

I think it's more than that though - it's a social dynamic familiar from school, whereby someone is 'allowed' to hang around with a group, but their slightly lower social status is indicated by the fact that they can't get away with saying things other, more fully 'insider' members of the group, can. Had Imogen or Grace claimed Nikki wanted a shag, I don't think the reaction would have been the same.

Picture this: Grace gets bored and unites with... Richard and Aisleyne. Teh power.



I think my ears are bleeding.

OMG. Grace and Richard. It'll be like the end of Tetsuo.

OUR LOVE CAN DESTROY THIS WHOLE FUCKING WORLD!!!

Throw into the ending of Tetsuo the bomb from Dark Star (Lisa) and the Man Who Fell To Earth (only with a woman this time, but bear with me), Nikki...


...and we could have the greatest gonzo sci-fi movie ever made on our hands. Now, if BB's next task is "destroy Tokyo", you'll KNOW I'm right.

Big Brother: The Apocalypse. On your screens 6/6/06.

That was gonna be the big surprise, but seeing as how you've pre-empted me...

EMMA FROST IS ACTUALLY THE PHOENIX.

Believe you me, there's gonna be fireworks, in the Mighty Marvel Manner.

Oh my god. We're like totally on the same wavelength here because I had Grace as Magneto and Richard as Prof. X and Emma Frost- YES- as the secret phoenix.

This is so much better than X3. I just stole that observation from Vinnie.
