Regrettable Juvenilia
20:58 / 23.06.06
I am now really annoyed with the lack of concern... oh God, I hate it when people do this, but the lack of concern Endemol seem to have with representing Richard fairly. Would it have been too much to ask for Davina to point out to Lisa that he didn't nominate her like she thought, or offer any kind of counter to the "he's so two-faced, he's so false" nonsense. I wouldn't mind, but I was defending Davina last week and now she's made me look a right idiot - the SWINE!

You need to stop these impressions, Fly, before you start talking about your BALLBAGS.

(ps. I started that joke in 1997, stop biting my shit Russell Brand, you SWINE)

Good point, Flyboy. I thought it was just my extreme partiality towards Richard that made that omission seem so unfair. I really do wonder what I'm missing because so many people are so hostile towards old Dick. They can't all be operating through bias against North Americans and queers, surely? Nobody ever can supply one single instance of this supposed bullying he does. All comes down to interpretation, I guess. But then there are some people who liked Grace and she was a foul excrescence, so I have no clue, obviously.

Liked Davina's use of the fucking after congratulating Lisa on her ability to forbear from swearing.

Irritated to fuck with Glyn these days. He's becoming ever more plasticised. Warmed to him momentarily when he called himself a launderette rather than a majorette but he immediately blew it by launching into a venomous, nonsenical rant about Stupid Richard.

Yes indeed but at least he tried to formulate why he felt like that, which 90% of the housemates seem unable to do in the diaryroom. I have to say Richard in the majorette task was actually doing what Glyn said, it was Glyn's job to tell them all how to do it but Richard kept being silly and then commenting under his breath.

The only thing that made him proper Richard again was when they talked about it afterwards in the kitchen.

I'd like Aislene to go in the secret house. If she's the Queen of manipulation (On Nicki telling Lea she needed to eat, "she does it all the time Lea, tries to make you look stupid") then she can handle it and maybe make some nice twists Big Brother hasn't considered.

Can't see Aisleyne being nominated by her peers though and I think that's how it'll go.

Maybe she could split in three and unite the opposing faction so that they take over the school.. sorry, house. Do Endemol produce Kick, yet?

Yes, it really fucked me off too. It seems to be taken as read that Richard's two-faced, false, etc. (in the same way as it's generally accepted that Pete is lovely and will win) and needs no qualification or challenge. I seriously didn't expect Davina to cast up the "fake fucking faggot" comment, but it'd have been nice if she's drawn at least some attention to the fact that, really, there's very little evidence that the "faggot" has been "fake" toward Lisa.

I feel the same way with Dermot. I'm not sure why it seems to have become accepted practice to talk about Richard in terms of duplicity, scheming, gameplaying with no requirement to actually evidence anything.

I know this is kind of taken as read but, uh, thirded on that lack of evidence for Richard being anything but a good guy. Just for posterity.

Mihey and Imagine chatting animatedly with the enemy. Funny that. Imogen's personality has been kept safely in a matchbox in her jeans pocket for five weeks and entirely forgotten - her secret weapon. So now she exposes it and everybody *yawns*. You're alrrrready spent, woman.

22:57 / 23.06.06
Yeah, but Richard's articulate, which in BB terms is a bit like entering the paralympics under the sort of pretense so amusingly explored in the last series of 'Little Britain.' You know, the one on the t-shirts.

Hoping he'll make at least the last five though. And that when he gets nominated, he'll go down, as it were, with all guns blazing, in particular laying into the increasingly Colonel Kurtz meets Gollum at the end of the river spectacle that is Glyn's ruined mind.

22:59 / 23.06.06
On the live footage, it's interesting seeing Mikey having a pleasant in-depth chat with Dickie and Dimogen looking the most alive she's looked for ages. Of course, Dimogen always seems comparitively vivacious when she's momentarily loosened from the stronger vortexes of negativity to whom she instinctively attaches herself (Sezer, Grace, Lisa) - but she quickly gravitates, limpet-like, toward the next three-legged horse. I'm guessing she'll start up the "ooh, Richard, isn't he fake, I hate him" with Mikey or possibly Glyn.

Even Bob Mortimer was making some kind of insinuation that Richard is a wrong 'un on BBBM the other night, but I was puzzled as to what exactly he meant. I had an argument wih my girlfriend earlier tonight, who hates Richard and finds him sanctimonious. He was maybe a bit patronising to Glyn during the majorette task, but otherwise I fourth the motion that Dickie haterz have little proof. More annoying g*m*pl*n accusations on tonight's BBBM. The sw*n*s! etc...

I reckons the nominations for next weeek will be:

Richard
Aisleyne
Suzeee


And I reeckon it's Aissleyne for the mini-house.
Too drunk to post with any more articulacy.

Yes, Bob Mortimer got me riled with that nonsense. If I was Russ, I'd have been tempted to immediately harangue him to the effect that 'you'd be nothing without Reeves, Mortimer! Nothing!' Sadly I am not Russell, though, or perhaps not sadly as it means I don't have Kate bloody 'I'm a real wild child me, I like them Primal Scream fellas' Moss glomming on me all the time.

Re. Lisa and the faggot thing - isn't that legally hate speech? Couldn't she be prosecuted?
 
 
Alex's Grandma
11:15 / 24.06.06
Richard would be good in the mini-house, I think. They'd finally have got rid of him, Nikki, Imagine etc would think, but then he'd return, with teh brainwashed gay army ...
 
 
Ganesh
11:26 / 24.06.06
If there's at least one Hidden Housemate receptive to Richard's sex terror, we might yet see his claim properly tested.

Fucking missed it. What's the deal with the mini-house?
 
 
akira
16:42 / 24.06.06
This week when the house nominates, the public will be voting which of those they want in the mini house, and there going to put 5 more housemates in the mini house, with the person who the housemates nominate and the public decide on. Yea. I think.
 
 
akira
16:45 / 24.06.06
So the public decides out of whoever is up for nomination, who they want in the mini house. AND 5 more NEW housemates with be going in there too.
 
 
Mourne Kransky
17:11 / 24.06.06
Each of the new housemates will go in thinking they're the only one and they're going into the big house. The evictee from the big house will think they're going to meet Davina. But no! Could be fun!

Wow. I'm confused already. This has to be interesting, to say the least.

WHAT A NIGHT TO GO DOWN THE PUB!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING???

19:39 / 24.06.06
Wow, that moment with Lisa in the pool was terrifying. Imagine being the only one in the room with her when she does that.

19:45 / 24.06.06
It would certainly put me off my stroke.

"I"m fucking disruptive and monstrous... I couldn't live with me.."

Looks as if Nikki has seen the sights of Selfawaria, once or twice..
 
 
Smoothly
20:04 / 24.06.06
She could drive a cab around Selfawaria.
 
 
Mourne Kransky
20:13 / 24.06.06
I think Nikki has a map to Self Awaria but it's only occasionally that she holds it the right way up.

Taxi to Paranoia City for Lea though. So stupid, so insightless, such a stirrer.
 
 
akira
20:47 / 24.06.06
I'm digging the way everyone facies Pete, and for some mad reason when I'm watching I find myself realy wanting Dimogen to. And Nikki's 'I still love him even though he sweated on my shoulder' had me in stitches.

"Occasionally" is still more impressive than many of her Housemates. I heart Nikki.

I'm digging the way everyone facies Pete

Do you think any of that fancying will develop in any particular direction?
 
 
akira
21:33 / 24.06.06
I'm hoping it will with Nikki, but Pete keeps his cards to close to his chest for me to gain any real insight there, guess its a 'watch this space' which is probably why I'm enjoying watching.
 
 
Ganesh
21:39 / 24.06.06
Mmm. Perhaps I should try not to be so cynical. I guess I've seen Lisa, Nikki, Aisleyne(ish) and now Lea tell Pete, in various ways, that they'd like to ged it awwwn with him - and he hasn't really done anything with any of that knowledge...
 
 
akira
21:40 / 24.06.06
And I think Nikki genuenly likes him. Would she like him if she saw him in a club? Probably not, but there not in a club are they, its a whole differnet dynamic.
 
 
Ganesh
21:49 / 24.06.06
I think all the women who said they like Pete genuinely like him. I suppose I'm wondering whether/how that maps onto the idea of Pete being someone it's 'safe' to like - almost in the way a gay man is 'safe' - because he's a somewhat sexless (or perhaps obliquely sexual) Unthreatening Male. Clearly Lisa wanted things to go beyond Unthreatening, and Lea says she does too. Nikki asked him to "fuck me" and they had a bit of a snog - but that hasn't gone anywhere, or even really been repeated. Pete's said, in the Diary Room, that he tends to fancy all his (platonic) friends. I'm suspecting it's probably more the case that they fancy him but he's so slow/static when it comes to taking (or even responding definitively to) any sort of sexual initiative that they've settled for vaguely-platonic.
 
 
Smoothly
21:53 / 24.06.06
At first I was grateful for Pete's relative coyness around sex. It was refreshing in contrast with Sezer, Mikey and George's top spec bitching. I though he just didn't want to talk about sex to the exclusion of everything else, which seemed commendable.
However, it turns out that there's aren't lots of things he'd rather talk about, and his inability to deal with the attentions and proclamations of the female Housemates (and questions about his own feelings) is beginning to look a bit remedial. I've gone from thinking that he's got sex in proper proportion, to thinking that he's actually several portions short. I thought it was security in his sexuality, but now it looks more like the opposite. IMVHetc.
