The reason I'm sympathising with her, is because she has recently acquired some degree of self awareness.

Pft! She's only reflecting on any of her actions because she got a glimpse of the public loathing for her. And even then put it down to other girls on the outside being bitchy because she's polishing Mikey.

I don't know how she plans to redeem herself if given another week in the house, but I doubt it includes deflowering Glyn, babes.

Alex's Grandma

23:46 / 12.06.06

But Steve, whatever she's been up to with Mikey thus far (Have they even wanked each other off yet!?) clearly hasn't been good enough. The removal of Glyn's Welsh rose is the only thing now between Grace and per-di-tion, far as I can see.

Gaah!! WHEN will my internet be hooked up?!? How can I live without this thread as my BB companion??

Anyway I too felt a bit sorry for Grace last night. But.. not sorry enough not to vote her out.

She really isn't that interesting, as G says. She's just a boring, bitchy person.

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

I think you probably got this too, but I read this as a Spinal Tap reference.

07:29 / 13.06.06

I did, but I chose to ignore that aspect in favor of picking on the way they screwed it up.

Evil Scientist

08:36 / 13.06.06

There's rumours that Lisa, Lea, Grace, and Nikki are in trouble for discussing nominations. Any confirmation on that?

Smoothly

09:21 / 13.06.06

Indeed. Looks like they're going to be banned from nominating.

Evil Scientist

09:54 / 13.06.06

I suppose it's a risk they take with the constant bitching, eventually something's going to be interpretted as trying to influence the vote.

On a slight aside this comment from Mikey:

"Old people", he deduced, were the cause of the show becoming boring. He pleaded: "For fuck's sake, let's get pissed and fucking dance."

Seems indicative of the attitude a number of the younger housemates currently. Pissed up dancing and "lesbian" kissing was dull as dishwater way before now.

It's an odd resentment that BB's dares to allow people beyond the age of 25 into the house. I've found the more interesting people are the older ones.

S'good they didn't get the threatened glamourous granny isn't it? They would have rioted.

Jub

10:05 / 13.06.06

Didn't I see Imogen talking about this again with Nikki in the bath last night? She should be barred too.

On a separate issue, when Richard was talking about the housemates doing the waiting game, he didn’t seem to think very highly of Glyn, so after Grace and Lisa and this other children have been banished – this might be a new division – and one which Glyn will ultimately win.

h1ppychick

10:25 / 13.06.06

This made me sad - linked through the DSBB forums.

Regrettable Juvenilia

10:31 / 13.06.06

That was a weird bit, I get the sense that either the editing was messy or Richard had just sort of got confused about who was still on the podium, because he specifically talked about how the people still standing/waiting were the ones who hadn't been at Suzie's dinner the night before. Which Glynn had.

Alex's Grandma

10:43 / 13.06.06

On a separate issue, when Richard was talking about the housemates doing the waiting game, he didn’t seem to think very highly of Glyn

I got that too, but wasn't it more of a blanket slagging of the housemates in the task, rather Glyn in particular?

What was Glyn doing standing there for nine hours though, when it was pretty clear he didn't need the immunity? If it was really because he thought the winner's reward would be a message from their fam-ily, then his comment at the end that it would be 'fucking shit' if that was the prize would tend to suggest a few flaws in his thinking.

Smoothly

Well, there was a good chance that Susie wouldn’t nominate Glyn, but hardly a dead cert. I didn’t really understand Mikey’s insistence that he could ‘tell [Glyn] to get down’. It’s true that Glyn looked unlikely to be at the top of Susie’s hit list, but then neither was Mikey. Being invited to the dinner party was hardly a guarantee of immunity.

If it was really because he thought the winner's reward would be a message from their fam-ily, then his comment at the end that it would be 'fucking shit' if that was the prize would tend to suggest a few flaws in his thinking.

I think he meant that it would be shit if he conceded, only for the prize to turn out to be the longed for message from his mam.

Evil Scientist

11:18 / 13.06.06

I didn’t really understand Mikey’s insistence that he could ‘tell [Glyn] to get down’.

I think he was trying to say that if Grace had told Glyn to get down then she'd look selfish. Apparently Mikey telling Glyn to get down was....erm....chivalrous? It certainly wouldn't just look like Grace was projecting her words out of Mikey's mouth by the power of ventriloquism or anything like that.

penitentvandal

16:57 / 13.06.06

Hmmm...Grace: Not the perfect courtier...

Others were not so kind, particularly nominees Nikki and Grace; the first noted: "She doesn't like poor Nikki / So this week might be quite tricky." Grace was equally unforgiving, opening with: "Susie the floozy walks around in gold lace / And for some strange reason has a problem with Grace."

Remember: to vote Grace, TEXT 'GRACE' TO 84444, OR PHONE...er, that number that people who use landlines to vote need to use.

Lama glama

17:39 / 13.06.06

Those in Ireland who want to see the back of the Gracist call 1514 712 005.

It's for Grace's own welfare, folks. That house is obviously a very stressful environment for her, what with being confronted by people who are obviously false, fake, two-faced and totally not being themselves.

Ganesh

18:23 / 13.06.06

I think Richard was either generalising or had forgotten Glyn was still on his podium; he clearly wouldn't intentionally have included him in the subset of people-who-weren't-invited-to-the-Golden-Party when he commented on that subset's apparent desperation to win the task.

h1ppychick

19:13 / 13.06.06

OH MY GOD. They're absolutely pathetic. Don't they realise how utterly stupid they come across?

h1ppychick

19:15 / 13.06.06

Actually, I must apologise for turning this excellent thread into a blow-by-blow on the highlights shows. Perhaps there ought to be somewhere else to put such random commentaries?

h1ppychick

19:28 / 13.06.06

After that little montage I want to evict both of them, and to marry Aisleyne.

Shrug

19:47 / 13.06.06

Hmmm wait what's going on? I just caught Richard and Lea's conversation and nothing that preceded it.
I hope they don't cut to Lea giving the usual two-faced Richard monologue after the break.

Ganesh

19:53 / 13.06.06

Stealing alcohol? Isn't that a puppy-murdering level offence? And dressing in gold: is that supposed to piss Suzie off?

I love the "she's 43, her life is over, why doesn't she just crawl into a corner and die quietly like the wizened old crone she is" line of it's-so-unfairness. It's like Suzie's the bee that managed not to drown in the pool.

h1ppychick

19:59 / 13.06.06

The first rule of Big Brother is:
Don't talk about nominations.

The second rule of Big Brother is:
DON'T TALK ABOUT NOMINATIONS.

I find it strange that they can't understand this simple and basic concept.

Evil Scientist

20:04 / 13.06.06

Loved The White Queen pointedly not giving Nikki a golden belt and then bringing it out and putting it on.

Pete comes as close to angry as I've seen.

Did the highlights show get set up to show the phases of hearing bad news? Disbelief. Anger. Acceptance. Y'know, all of that?

Ganesh

20:09 / 13.06.06

Pete comes as close to angry as I've seen.

Unfortunately, that tends to amount to saying (smiley) "I'm angry with X", X is called over, Pete bashfully, gigglingly admits that yes, he's a bit angry. X says, "ooh, Pete, don't be angry" and cuddles him. He grins. Fin.

h1ppychick

20:15 / 13.06.06

Also, Pete completely and utterly backed down and ended up apologising to Richard Ashcroft.

Evil Scientist

20:15 / 13.06.06

Is it wrong to shout "Yeees! Twist that knife!" when the Hollyoaks are told about possibly breaking BB rules?

What hacked me off (today) about Grace and Nikki's reaction was that, although they were understandably upset, no-one pointed out to them that (a) She had to choose someone, and (b) they'd be kissing her feet if she'd gone for Richard.

I know it wouldn't have helped, and no-one wants to get into a shouting match or be seen as unsympathetic. But still...

Pete got close by pointing out that one of them would have to live with her after Friday (but kind of spoiled it by apologising).

Ganesh

20:47 / 13.06.06

Also, Pete completely and utterly backed down and ended up apologising to Richard Ashcroft.

'Twas truly anything but a Bitter Pete Symphony.

I suspect this evening's highlights show will have done much to dispel any lingering shreds of sympathy for Poor Grace. Unlike Aisleyne, she doesn't really get that it's largely Woman's Inhumanity To Woman that's got her where she is now.

Mourne Kransky

21:23 / 13.06.06

I was momentarily nonplussed to hear Lisa shrieking Sack Grace! Sack Grace! but then I realised she was just proposing a sack race. Damn.

Sleeperservice

21:37 / 13.06.06

Ganesh

21:37 / 13.06.06

Annnnd, lest we forget Grace's essential obnoxiousness to her own sex, she reminds us:

Grace was the most vocal of the bunch, describing Susie as "a fucking dick" and "a fucking moose".

"I hate her," she added. "I hate Susie Fucking Sunshine."

I'm quite liking the fact that this year's Big Brother is confusing those Housemates who evidently feel they know the usual rules: weirdly, being half of a couple isn't protection against eviction, and neither is having nice pecs and a six-pack; somehow, the boring old thirtysomethings are managing to stay in. Time is out of joint.

It's just not fair. Why isn't Big Brother sticking to its own unspoken rules?

Ganesh

21:40 / 13.06.06

Forgive me, my memory isn't what it used to be, but wasn't there a *huge* row that resulted from certain housemates hiding some alcohol? And now Grace & her minions steal some alcohol then run off & hide so they can drink it...

As with bitching and backbiting, stealing alcohol is only really eeevil if other people do it - specifically Richard.

Lama glama

21:43 / 13.06.06

That two-faced bastard Richard.

All sympathy for Grace evaporated tonight with her repugnant behaviour. Is it me, or are Nikki's facial expressions becoming more and more exaggerated?

Ganesh

21:50 / 13.06.06

Christ, does Richard's insincerity know no bounds? Now, he's fucking hugging people!

Lama glama

21:56 / 13.06.06

"It's like hugging a fucking brick wall," Grace noted.

That'll be his rock hard abs and chest.

"His hugs are so insincere"

I wonder..what does a sincere hug feel like?
