His name is Mikee! He's not just a PIECE OF MEAT!

Duno about Xoc, Fly, but I'm starting to think you may be utterly wrong there.

Mind you, I'm a vegetarian.

It should also be noted that BB can play generic crowd noise into the house to drown out such chanting, and they have done so on many previous occasions.

But that's always when they're shut in the house, there's no way to overwhelm them with sound in the garden (which they are usually blocked from entering on eviction nights.)

reading stoatally's post i just thought 'wait a minute, who's mikee?' but then even when i changed the second 'e' to a 'y' in my head, i still wasn't entirely sure who 'mikey' was. i was thinking, but is his name mikey? what is this, week 4? way to carve yourself onto my memory banks, vernon drude.

Into the garden? With the crowd just the other side of the wall, and on an audio link with Davina?

It's something of a hackneyed BB tradition to bemoan the eviction of vile Housemates with no redeeming features on the grounds that they're supposedly 'entertaining', or 'enliven' the House. It probably boils down to a complex mix of strength of identification, sadism and boredom threshold. The same case could be made for Shahbaz.

Personally, I find Grace boring in her oddly mundane, insightless dissembling. She's not even entertaining as a cartoon villain; she's just a moneyed, borderline-racist/misogynist Hollyoaks twentysomething who lies and apparently doesn't know she's doing it.

I don't think the House will be a "snoozefest" if (when) she goes. That implies she's rather more interesting than she actually is.

Yeah, they (including such internet demagogues like "Flossie") said the same thing about Whassisname.

No wonder George was smitten.

I wonder if endemol will take steps to clamp down on crowd behavior, having been given advance warning of Grace's likely reception. A more subtle form of dissent than loud booing might be an ironic rendition of While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks.

Given that it's Grace's eviction night, it might be While Shepherds Cocked their Glocks by Night.

I wonder how many days it will be, after disGrace goes, before Aisleyne and em... thingummy... whatsit are doing the horizontal rumba?

This is my point - why wasn't the lottery thingy done inside the house to minimise outside noise?

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

they had to set the lottery thing up somewhere and the housemates were in the living room for the announcement of the evictee, so the only place they'd be able to get at to set it up (I think) would be the garden.

Oops sorry, I committed the cardinal "mis-spell the housemate's name" sin. Sorry Susie.

Lisa shut up shut up shut up.

Ooh, Lisa is a little paranoid, isn't she? This task is tailor-made for Mr Hoof-and-Eyelid Meatlike Grill, though. Grace might just manage to make her hatred for the rest of the world burn her feet to the podium.

Richard on Lisa "really she's just an acidic little troll".

Top. Quote. To. Date.

Well, possibly they didn't expect orchestrated crowd-chanting targeted at one particular Housemate. Or didn't particularly care.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

I am, yes.

whomever has been writing the BB news articles today has struck a streak of comedy gold.

But it took something small and creepy to prove it. Absent-mindedly pottering around the kitchen, Lea broke the housemates' peace: "F****** hellfire, ya b******," she screamed.

What could be the cause of it, we wondered? Had Richard left one of his man-hairs in the butter? Or maybe one of Susie's nails had come off. But no - it was a tiny wasp that got her yodelling.

"It bit me," she screeched at top volume.

"Let's see, let's see," said Nikki. "Oh my God!"

"It just bit me. It gnawed me finger! Like a b****** rottweiler, just attached to me hand," continued Lea. Don't wasps normally sting?

As Lea dropped the offender in the bin, Nikki pitched the decibels up to 11 with one almighty blood-curdling scream. "Pete! Come here!" demanded Lea to the House's self-proclaimed insect champion.

"It's just a wasp," said Pete, coming to the rescue.

"It's a black widow," cried Nikki with her usual understated descriptiveness.

"I need stitches!" shouted Lea from the kitchen.

Tomorrow, Imogen has a nervous breakdown over an ant. Probably.

Must admit I thought the "something small and creepy" might be Lisa.

11 decibles, eh? Not very loud at all. Maybe they should introduce scorpions for the next task...

I'm televisionless at the moment so just reading the thread. I've often thought Big Bro should take a leaf out of Fear Factors book now and again. Boxs full of rats and the like.

Look I know this is probably as trite as lOrDofTEHFLIES!!11! references but Lisa really, really reminds me of Gollum sometimes. Could be the gaspy voice, her constant crouching or just her venomous bitching, I'm not sure. Am I alone?

Some of this Grace-hate's now starting feel distinctly Gollum-esque. Granted, she probably wouldn't like if she met you, in fact she probably wouldn't even speak to you in the first place, but that is her prerogative. She's pretty much doomed now - whether or not she walks, I'd imagine she's going to have serious problems going to the shops for the next six months (elements of the GBP seem unlikely to pass up the opportunity of calling her a spoiled, moneyed slag etc if they meet on the street,) and even Mikey's noticed she's been crying every day lately. Some, I suppose, might want to see this beautifuil, gilded creature brought low, but she's hardly much of either, really. And all she's done, after all, is screw up on a gameshow. Those calling, here and elsewhere, for her public evisceration (which is in the post anyway, whatever she does,) might want to re-examine their priorities.

I felt sympathy for Grace tonight. She knows that she has screwed up and will do anything to stay there and delay her public flogging for as long as possible. I always hate watching housemates get torn apart by the crowds and when Grace goes on Friday I'm sure I'll be sat there squirming and feeling somewhat guilty.

The reason I'm sympathising with her, is because she has recently acquired some degree of self awareness. She knows that the GBP wants her head on a pike and isn't being cocky, self assured or smug like Sezer was, prior to his eviction. She's a person that knows horrible times are ahead of her, and I can't help but feel for her.

I don't condone her attitudes to people that she deems as abnormal or her propensity for bitching, but I don't believe she deserves what is inevitably coming her way. If I were her (Great Boe Face forbid) I'd walk.

Loved everything about Nikki tonight, especially the shocked look on her face as she discovered that Pete has never made mud pies.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
22:29 / 12.06.06
Yeah boo hoo poor Grace she'll only have all her money and normal people for comfort etc.

Oh wait, I don't care. Maybe if we're lucky, she'll learn something, like in one of those films.

Aww, come on Suedey, it's not like she shit on your pillow is it?

If she did shit on your pillow at least the turd would be being itself.

Lady Grace is currently levelling charges of falseness at Richard again. Ah, well. I tried to rethink my opinion on her, but its apparently pointless.
 
 
Alex's Grandma
23:00 / 12.06.06
Actually, after this evening's performance on the live feed, I take a lot of that back. What Grace should be doing, if she's trying to stay on the show for long enough to redeem herself in the eyes of the GBP, is thinking seriously about ways to get Glyn into bed, or something, anything, except this endless, pointless shit-stirring. But she can't seem to help herself. She seems happier than she has done in days after tonight's bitch-fest.
