Celebrity Big Brother 2007

H was the first person to look genuinely shocked at seeing that footage.

18:55 / 28.01.07

He was the first one that didn't get the management briefing en route to the studio, I think. Which implies that they trust his emotional intelligence and his ability to react appropriately to what's presented to him.

18:56 / 28.01.07

DAMN. I was hoping when he was asked about regrets he'd have said "that I didn't step in"... other than that, the boy done well.

It's been recently pointed out to me that Jermaine is bit like Mr Hanky, from South Park.

18:57 / 28.01.07

HfromSteps did the best out of our homegrown talent (and I use the word advisedly). Those furriners are coming over here, taking our CBB...

19:00 / 28.01.07

one of the Jacksons, Face and a beautiful tolerant educated exotic woman, compared to a couple of teen-band singers, a comedienne last in the limelight 20 years ago, a brainless bimbo, and someone who the public used to like's byfriend. There was really no contest from the get-go.

19:02 / 28.01.07

There was really no contest from the get-go.

I don't think that necessarily follows. The most famous/charismatic doesn't always win.

19:03 / 28.01.07

Why are they booing Shilpa? The bassturds.

19:04 / 28.01.07

Maybe, although one could argue that fame (in the old sense rather than mere 'celebrity') tends to go hand-in-hand with more than your average level of charisma.

19:04 / 28.01.07

GUTTED.

Mind you, as he's lost to either Jermaine or Shilpa, then it's not so bad.

I have to say, Danielle did that interview so much better than Jo did, fair play.

I thought she was quite winning in her conclusion that she'd learned not to be such a bitch ~ until they showed her saying exactly the same thing about a week ago.

19:10 / 28.01.07

Maybe, although one could argue that fame (in the old sense rather than mere 'celebrity') tends to go hand-in-hand with more than your average level of charisma.

Sure - but looking at previous CBBs, neither is a firm predictor to win.

Hope Shilpa wins now but, if she loses to Jermaine, I won't be too upset...

19:10 / 28.01.07

Dirk is every bit as rockin' in his interview as he has been everywhere else.

19:11 / 28.01.07

I thought she was quite winning in her conclusion that she'd learned not to be such a bitch ~ until they showed her saying exactly the same thing about a week ago.

That's what made me think there'd been a degree of rehearsal of the "what have you learned" question, albeit implicitly.

19:13 / 28.01.07

Most entertaining interview so far, by far.

19:16 / 28.01.07

Nice to have an interview which wasn't structured around that same news montage.

19:18 / 28.01.07

*sob*

I love Dirk even more now.

*sob*

That said, it's nice that Dennis and Traci's conversation last year about how a non-white person could never win CBB has been proved inaccurate.

Nice to have that kind of interview. Refreshing.

19:21 / 28.01.07

The whiny voice, the relentless, grating optimism ... Mr Hanky is possibly about to win.

19:21 / 28.01.07

...not.

19:22 / 28.01.07

YAY SHILPA!!

19:22 / 28.01.07

I was saying in the pub earlier, any of Dirk, Jermaine and Shilpa would have been a result.

Shilpa's earned it, certainly.

19:23 / 28.01.07

On go the glasses, man in the mirrorshades...

Suspecting this may be a slightly less exuberant interview than the last one.

19:23 / 28.01.07

And Shilpa wins...

Here's a thing I noticed about H coming out - he's the first guy who hasn't either walked out or been evicted as punishment for being a racist rotter. How weird is that?

19:24 / 28.01.07

salaam aleikhum, dude. (spelling?)

19:24 / 28.01.07

Also, nice touch in playing 'Who are you?' over Jack's footage...

19:24 / 28.01.07

Wonder if Jermajesty's in the audience?

19:25 / 28.01.07

take the glasses off. we know what you look like.

19:27 / 28.01.07

Yeah, but you can see Davina in his shades! That's kind of cool, surely?

19:28 / 28.01.07

it's like the training session from The Mystery Men.

19:29 / 28.01.07

the cameraman picked it up too, niiiiice!

19:36 / 28.01.07

Gosh, I felt he looked amazing and came across as incredibly nice and (as they all keep saying) "grounded". Michael Jackson could look that good, in theory.

I don't know, is it crass to say that Jermaine Jackson is one of the few public figures recently who's made Islam look like a positive influence?

19:39 / 28.01.07

STOP BOOING YOU RACIST BASTARDS

That is all.

19:40 / 28.01.07

Bit disappointed that Shilpa's getting booed. What the fuck has she done to deserve that?
