Actually I really enjoyed Suzie's style of nomination explanations, even though it's about 180 degrees from Richard's. "Well, I think Glynn has a bit of a short temper. Maybe he needs to do some growing up."

I am so happy Glynn at least got 2 nominations. Maybe he'll go soon!

Smoothly- touche.

Wow. This whole Nikki and Imogen listening at the door thing is funny enough that I actually lost a bit of my Imogen hatred for a few minutes.

Did they just say Aisylene is going back into the main house tomorrow night? Or did I imagine that?

From tonight's Diary Room monologue, it's looking like Aisleyne may well favour Jonathan, Jenny and Spoooiral over Baby GayBear(dless). I am slightly devastated.
 
 
Smoothly
20:09 / 04.07.06
The appeal of Spoiral is utterly lost on me. But it seems that Aisleyne's love of the Irish generally and the fact that Pete will like that he's called Spoiral (?!) might swing it for him.

*baffled*
 
 
Ganesh
20:15 / 04.07.06
Yeah, I'm also totally not feeling the Spoiralove. I'm wondering to what extent it really is all about accents: the GBP instinctively like/trust Spoiral's; the instinctively dislike/distrust Dickie's. Or maybe it's a straight-taaalker thing? Spoiral was straight in there with "have you slept with a woman?", after all.

Me, I just think he should give Shane McGowan back his teeth.

I increasingly think Jonathan could be good value though. Gay people have taught him everything he knows about scoring with the laydees, after all. I wonder what's left for Dickie to teach him.

I personally think everyone involved should take a step back and remind themselves of this one fact:

THE. MAN. CALLS. HIMSELF. SPIRAL. FOR. FUCK'S. SAKE.

Says "wanker" to me, I reckon. And he hasn't really gone out of his way to prove me wrong thus far.

He'll have to wait 'til I've punched 'em out of his face first.

What, as opposed to calling himself Stoatie, Ganesh or Flyboy? Fair's fair, I don't think one can really hold that against him.

Did anyone watch the very start of Big Brother's Big Mouth tonight? I tuned in halfway through what seemed like a routine by Mr Brand about Aisleyne "pretending to be black" - can anyone confirm or deny?

Spoiral, there, not you, obviously Fly.

Nancy Lam looks like Kathy Burke in Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Fair point, I guess, but I can and will hold it against him. Just because.

20:27 / 04.07.06
Incidentally, though, in real life, I usually don't introduce myself as Stoatie. I don't think you introduce yourself as Flyboy either, do you?

I think he should call himself by his real name, purely because it's apparently Glen, and it could lead to all manner of farcical hilarity should he reach the main house.

On the off-chance that I'm ever successful in my bid to get into the Big Brother House, it won't be as 'Ganesh'. That would just be silllly.

Didn't see the start of BBBM, so can't comment on the Russell Brand 'blacking up' thang.

Call yourself 'Stoatie' and you're a dead man.

I was thinking 'Hawksmoor FTB'.

20:35 / 04.07.06
Well, I know of a fair few people who have slowly found their online handle used so often by others that it becomes their known name. But that's beside the point, really - Spoil can call himself whatever he want.
 
 
Ganesh
20:38 / 04.07.06

I've actually been finding myself really really liking Jonathan.

No he can't.

Anyone else can, if they so choose.

But not him.

Was informed by excitable girl in work that "That's DJ SPIRAL from Finglas!", everyone else was a bit underwhelmed but supposedly that's his DJ moniker and he's achieved relative fame in his part of Dublin...etc. Anyway, yes, he seems like a bit of a knob.

According to DS Michael and Jennie to go into the main House live. Hmm. Given Aisleyne's earlier comments about liking Spoiral and Jonathan, I suspect she's thinking Big Brother will trick her, and evict the two she chooses tonight.

Which meaaans that presumably either Jonathan or Spoooiral won't go in...
 
 
Cherielabombe
20:49 / 04.07.06
Yay! Looks like Asylene just nominated Michael and Jennie! What happened I thought she was in love with Spoiral?
 
 
Ganesh
20:50 / 04.07.06
I think Aisleyne anticipated a Big Brother double-bluff that didn't happen.

20:54 / 04.07.06
Oops. X-Post. Well, they did show her on the highlights show tonight saying that she knows they're going into the "Old House" and that she wasn't going to nominate Spoiral. So maybe she won't, though I don't fully understand why not.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
20:56 / 04.07.06
I think she said she chose the people who were willing to take a chance on it being either eviction/going next door.

I think she thought Big Brother would change the rules now she'd twigged - and she nominated accordingly.

Unbelieeevably irritating decision to go to Lost jussst before the Old Housemates meet Jennie and Michael. Fuckers.

I really do hope Jonathan makes it in - he seems to have his head screwed on and is taking everything on in a nice, relaxed 'whatever happens, happens' vibe. He'd chill the main house down without turning it Susie-style comatose.

Lea's really truly honestly only 35, apparently - Heat magazine has seen her birth certificate and she's really called Lisa.

You owe me an apology, Boboss.

According the DS What's Happening At The Moment thread:

It's fascinating when new people come into the group. Everyone is being welcoming, but they're also making little shows of possessiveness towards their current "partners". Imogen and Mikey are touching and flirting a little more than normal, and of course Nikki and Pete are cuddling. Lots of strong nonverbal cues are flying around reflecting that the original housemates have established bonds.

Apparently, Pete pulled Nikki onto his lap for a cuddle. Seems a bit hard to believe.

Everyone seems to find everyone else familiar: seems Michael, in particular, has taken part in several audition interviews. Also appears to have mutual friends with Dickie, possibly from the London gay scene - or maybe it's Michael's weird facial familiarity (still mourning the beard, which must now be crying secretly somewhere).

But that's beside the point, really - Spoil can call himself whatever he want.

And if we think he's being silly, we can take the piss out of him for it. Free speech in action!

As to the thing about Aisleyne trying to be black, I can confirm that Russ began BBBM in not great form by saying Aisleyne 'seems to 'ave a problem with 'er identity' one the grounds that 'one minute she's from the ghetto, the next minute she's Irish' and showed some footage of Aisleyne teling Spooooooooooooiral a story about her Irish grandfather (in a voice uncannily like Tamsin Grieg impersonating Dylan Moran); this then cut to Russ laying the laweth down thus: 'Aisleyne, you're not black, you're not Irish' before then dipping into a ha-ha-larious grab bag of ethnic stereotypes she could also portray, including Aggressive Drunken Scotsman, German Nazi Interrogator, and, Christ help us all, Frank Spencer.

Aside from the sneering caucasonormativeness of this comment - white people shouldn't act black, you see - this 'you're not Irish' is patently absurd on the grounds that (a) Aisleyne is an Irish name and (b) it was her grandad she was on about! Honestly. There are times when I fear for this culture.

dickie's imogen nomination speech was like something out of American Beauty. maybe other people fear his bitching because he can actually make it *funny*. i don't think there's anyone i want to win now, apart from maybe nikki. aisleyne being rude to everyone once she thought she was leaving was DisGrace type behavior, and beneath what i'd come to expect from the white queen.
