Pete's making me wonder whether methylphenidate comes in bullet form. Failing that, ordinary bullets would do.

Lea: "I don't consider myself a freak. I just consider myself as... something abnormal". The non-celebrity Pete Burns equivalent, I think. Sans wit.

Imogen. The likely candidate for the tabloids to remind us how women who openly enjoy sex are evil?

Annnnnd a complete and utter fucking idiot (with looks)

Mikey. Oh Mikey. A perfect candidate for my next torture campaign.

Could they really have gone for a real live Tourettes sufferer? I mean really?

Ganesh, over to you.


Well, they've chucked in plenty of people with apparent mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic problems and all manner of disordered personalities - so yes, I don't see why not. He's unusual, I suppose, in that he's not only made a virtue of his Tourette's but has successfully used it as a BB angle.

Imogen... seems quite nice so far. If only she were lesbian, I'd love her.

Mikey... this year's calculated arsehole eye-candy? Although I have high hopes for Posh Boy, and agree on the possible closetiness.

Made it in for the last few... Mikey will be the Barbs fave!

I cannot believe that Pete actually does that thing of lifting his hat up and down on his head. Is he a plant, formerly a member of Madness?

Mikey: the walking embodiment of modern mainstream guitar music culture.

obsessive-compulsive disorder

Who was that?

I suppose we have to remember, at this stage, that Housemates have been reduced to a gimmick or two (at most). They'll presumably transcend their labels. Hopefully.

"You're born into miseraye. I've never been in love. It's a waste of time. I don't want friends... I don't intend to make any friends. I don't like people that much." Oh, I like Dawn!

A miserable misanthrope.

She's making me laugh, though.

Imogen: possible Doctor Who companion in 2008?

Dawn: gosh, they really have put a lot of Barbelith posters in there this year...
 
 
Ganesh
19:46 / 18.05.06
Who was that?

Alex. "DID SOMEONE PEE IN THE SHOWER?!"
 
 
Bear
19:47 / 18.05.06
He has a very strange mouth.

Glyn clearly waxes. Let's hope it's not another straight man who hates "hypercamp" gay men and transvestites. Just because we need more than one variety of straight man in there.

I pray that Dawn is a closeted lesbian and gets it on with Imogen but I don't think god is listening to me.

Also subtitled Welsh conversations where Glyn and Imogen bitch about everyone else. Hell yeah!

While we're doing lookeelikeees, Shahbaz has this whole Martin Bashir/Eugene Levy thing going on when he wears his glasses.
 
 
Ganesh
19:52 / 18.05.06
Aww, I'm sort of warming to Glyn, possibly because he hasn't claimed homo/transphobia. So far. Agree that Bonner will get pissed quick. Suspect Pete will have to ramp up the tics and "wanker!"s to maintain the requisite degree of attention within that crowd.

Transvestites have been mentioned a couple of times, so presumably there'll be a cross-dresser of some variety soon (Lea doesn't count).

George(?) looks right freaked out by the whole thing.
 
 
Ganesh
19:55 / 18.05.06
Dawn: gosh, they really have put a lot of Barbelith posters in there this year...

I'm just waiting for the word "sheeple" to drop from Dawn's lips.

Richard: predictable "straight-fancying gay man" but I'm loving him. He's my new favourite.

19:57 / 18.05.06
hey, do you think Richard might be Steve? Where's Ben?

Could this be a gay alpha male before us?

19:58 / 18.05.06
Oh. My. God.
 
 
Spaniel
19:58 / 18.05.06
Ignoring Shabaz, then.

Crowd didn't know what to make of, Rich.

Shabhaz "come back to me!" top lols. Richard = Jungle Cat.
 
 
Spaniel
20:00 / 18.05.06
Looks like a gay alpha to me.

20:00 / 18.05.06
Ok, she's posh, but nothing too grating so far.
 
 
Ganesh

I think Richard might be Vin Diesel, actually. He's heeyoogely playing up the "I'm going to shag good-looking men" angle, but I think that' kinda necessary at the moment.

What's the deal with Dawn's sexuality? She talked about "people" rather than "blokes" or "men" in her "I don't love anybody" monologue. Like Nina, I'm desperately hoping closeted lesbian - or bisexual, anyway.

Grace = spiritual soulmate of George, in his homosexual anxiety.

Mikey to get with Grace obvs.

Too much mugging and posing but Lisa seems allright. She has a beautiful face in repose.
 
 
Spaniel
20:03 / 18.05.06
I'm really rather hopeful that this year's gang will prove to be entertaining.
 
 
■
20:03 / 18.05.06
Hmmm. I think he'll try and get pretty badly rebuffed and turned into a sad little puppy.
