The best bit in the Sandy escape plan was when he was tring to climb over the gate, two security guards grabbing hold of him. Kudos to him for at least attempting to clear the air with Jonny (notice no similar attempt was made with Kate), but the way he did it was a little tactless.

Now that he's gone, he's probably taken most of the edginess of the house with him. With Alex becoming increasingly pleasant to the rest of them, this could well turn out to be the most astonishingly boring BB yet.

Uh, hold on.... Why hasn't anyone mentioned last night's sex antics yet?

Jade goes down on PJ!?! HORRID!!!!!!!!

Havn't really got into it that much this year but the best bit so far has been that shot last night (or the night before?) when everyones in bed apart from Kate and Spenser who are sat in silence, Spenser staring moodily off into thin air and Kate lighting and re-lighting his cigarette for him...Classic stuff...Spenser is the coolest man alive

no, 'spanky' is a normalish bloke and the others are rather dull. lets get this into perspective...

More kudos to Sandy for pissing in the kitchen bin before he left.

pj is so gross! he ignored jade after what was obviously drunken fumbling, and then went on about to spencer and kate in a gross way. ugh. pj is offically a twat. v unpopular in my house.
i'm voting for lee because if he stays in, i'll die of boredom in front of the teevee.

I second that motion, Lee is the most tedious, self-obsessed player in the house, voted for him twice yesterday.

I second all of that. Lee and PJ must go, and PJ in particular must go by trying to do "a Sandy", then falling and fatally impaling himself on the newly ramped-up house defences.

Have to admit that it was very entertaining to see the moment where he wakes up suddenly and you can tell he's thinking "fuck! what happened last night? oh shit..." - but how deluded is he to think his girlfriend might still be there to meet him at the gates now? Mind you, same goes for Lee and Adele...

Spencer is pretty cool, I reckon - I like his surly lack of contrition when being told off by Big Brother...
 
 
yawn - thing's buddy
12:49 / 14.06.02
okay okay I take it back - maybe most peoples idea of a normal bloke is someone like pj. Spenser is cool - but thats because he's not thick, which many of the bb contestants in all three competitions seem to be.

anyway, he'll let you down in someway, or at least his tele-self will.

I've decided to hate bb for a week or so and now argue with people in the office about how inane it is.

this resulted from watching the dam ting wiv my mum the other night and I suddenly realised the vacuity of my generation's take on life.

actually I'm just worried that my bitches might fancy spenser more than me to be honest.

16:45 / 15.06.02
back-peddling for no reason at all to say that intelligence isn't about spelling. and he seems sorta sharp. for some reason the whole gasoline thing floored me. and jade can't spell station. pj was a little too mean to her for that one. fucking pj.

Just read the classic geography conversation between Jade and Spencer which i missed when it was shown. I'm convinced that Jade is actually a very clever comedian who has managed to sneak into the house. For anyone who missed it this is pure comic genius...

Spencer: You know you see those people in Venice standing on the back of Gondolas pushing them around?

Jade: They don't do that on the Thames though, do they?

Spencer: No. I don't work on the Thames. I work in Cambridge.

Jade: Is there not the the Thames there?

Spencer: No.

Jade: Is there a river called the Cambridge river?

Spencer: Yeah, it's called the Cam.

Jade: Really? You swear? I only thought there was the Thames. I thought that was the main one in London.

Spencer: It is. I don't live in London.

Jade: I'm confused. I thought Cambridge was in London. I knew Birmingham weren't in London.

Spencer: Would you like to go and tell the group what you just said?

Jade: No...

Spencer: Cambridge is a city.

Jade: But we've got a city in London.

Spencer: Yes. This city is called London. And there are different parts of it. Cambridge is also a city.

Jade: Of where? Kent?

Spencer: Well Englands a country. Londons a city. Bermondseys just a throw off.

Jade: Now where are you? What's your country, and what's your things?

Spencer: What country am i from? England. The city is called Cambridge, the county Cambridgeshire.

Jade: So not Kent then?

Spencer: Nooooo....The region is called East Anglia.

Jade: East Angular? That's abroad!! Is there not a place called East Angular abroad?

Spencer: Jade, have you been taking the stupid pills again?

Jade: Every time people tell me they work in East Angular, I actually think they're talking about near Tunisia and places like that. Am i thick?

Spencer: Well i hate to say it, but you are.

Jade: Cos Scotland and Irish and all that comes under England, doesn't it?

Spencer: No...They come under Great Britain. Scotland and Wales have their own flags. Nothern Ireland and Ireland are different.

Jade: So they're not all together? Where's Berlin?

Spencer: Germany...

It's good to see that exchange in cold print; I thought I'd hallucinated the whole thing....

Of course, The Mob are going to give Jade a horrible time when she gets out, and rightly so. Being naieve, occasionally tactless, and less than drop dead 'gorgeous' on television are grounds enough for being branded a national hate figure, don't you think?

Hopefully Sandy's replacement will be a vile troublemaker.

Jade is my favourite at the moment...I was quite shocked at the outpouring of hate shown towards her when Lee was released. Couldn't see how she deserved that at all. I have alternating feelings of parental concern and lust for her and find her very lovely in a rubbery faced kind of way. She can ask me to spit dental fluid and blood into a drain anyday!!

How repulsive would a Big Brother contestant have to be in order for you to get off your arse and wander down to the house to boo and jeer at them on their eviction night? Mildly annoying? Untrustworthy and manipulative? Downright evil? Or even (if you can fathom such foulness) at loggerheads with Spencer and his Dreamy Eyes, like the first evictee?

I hope the audience reaction to Jade is based more on a "ho-hum we're bored, let's get venomous about a complete stranger for a couple of weeks and then forget all about it" kind of attitude than on genuine hate. She seems like a nice enough, if occasionally ridiculous (and who isn't?), person, but rather thin-skinned; I can't see her dealing too well with the Wall of Derision that may well be waiting for her when she gets out. It's supposed to be a daft little TV show but it's getting nastier each year.

Speaking of which, am I the only one who hopes Sandy Mk II is going to have a number of disgusting but entertaining habits like, say, creeping around at night urinating in everyones' faces while they sleep...?

all right ghandis!
i thought it was just me who thought jade is the most beautiful lady in the bb house! ace! i love her tummy, its soooooooo pretty.
alex is funny too.
the boring people, ie adele and sophie and wank features pj should all fuck off. hurrah!

Don't hate Jade anymore, but: UUURURURGH! Guys!?! And, Suds, it has nothing to do w/ her body - I don't care about bodies very much - just her yucky rubber face and....oh, it's all subjective and it's great that people's tastes vary and everything, but.....

Ghadis, reread yr post and savour the kinky fuck-the-baby vibe.

Love the way PJ whined about a baby about being on the poor side for another week.

“But Alex, why didn’t you pick me ? I know you had to make a decision, but why wasn’t it me ? Me me meeeeeeee ? Waaaaaaaaaaah…”

Indeed. Alex has redeemed himself in my eyes for that... Whereas Spencer has lot my favour after joining in with PJ's neathanderthalisms...

08:41 / 19.06.02
The things is, I never thought Spencer was this wicked bloke. He's always struck me as a bit of a lad really. He makes me laugh and I prefer his, ummm....presence to most people in the house, but unreconstructed? You can bet your arse.

Don't really want either of them to go - I've begun to really enjoy Alex's campy mooooaning - and God! Can you imagine the house left in the hands of that boring new nonentity and boring old Sophie and...PJ!?! Horror upon horror!
 
 
ghadis
09:23 / 19.06.02
'I've begun to really enjoy Alex's campy mooooaning'

Yea me too...Loved Sandys escape mainly for Alexs' cries of 'Be careful Sandy...BE CAAAAREFUL!!!' whilst everyone else was shouting 'Go Sandy Go!'

Sandy and Alex was described somewhere as the 'Ted and Ralph' of BB which i thought was perfect.

'Ghadis, reread yr post and savour the kinky fuck-the-baby vibe. '

Heh!..You're quite right of course...Get the school uniforms in again i say!!

love jade. mmmm-hmmmm.
but anyhow. i don't know who to vote for this week, but still i feel as if i must. alex is hilarious, so i guess it'll have to be spencer. oh, but he's funny too! i don't know. i wish pj was up for eviction.
did you hear what he said to spencer when he found out he'd been nominated?
"if i was a woman, i'd cry"
what a wank-piece.

Best quote of the week so far has to have been Alex's response when Adele was saying how she quite liked the new poshboy:

"Well, he's not Sandy, but..."

Awww.

'Fraid Jade's segmented abdomen leaves me cold, although she's probably the nearest I've seen to a Real Life human being whose face has been designed by Frank Quitely - y'know, that bashed-with-a-shovel/squeezed-against-a-pane-of-glass pouty snub look. She's definitely been chasing parked cars...

Then there's that endearing habit of bitching about everyone to everyone, all the while insisting she "tells it straight like it is".

Burn her, I say.

13:23 / 19.06.02
I agree get rid of Jade.

What about Sophie and her psychic powers though, spooky eh...no not really.

Kudos for Johnny and Kate for suggesting to play Snap with their Tarot deck though

15:17 / 19.06.02
So is the divide a good idea? Everyone was sceptical at first but it seems to be bearing some fruit. The joyous dancing of Alex and his "angels" cutting to PJ and Spencer outside in the cold and dark trying to light a fire for food. That made me laugh out loud.
Alex will go this week and it will be a real shame because he is highly entertaining. The psycho cleaning routine was a bit fightening but now he is getting into his groove. Pity they are going to change the record.

Re her shouting match with Adele, I think Jade’s going to be rather embarrassed when she leaves the house and sees the truth of what happened- how she misunderstood, then flared up, and ended up threatening to walk out of the house as a result. Makes her look a tad silly…
“The rich ousemeets uv been drinken for seven owaz” as Marcus’s voiceover put it. And didn’t it show ?

And surely Spencer must lose a chunk of his much-vaunted coolness for singing that Bryan Adams song ? As if being on the ‘poor side’ wasn’t torment enough…

People I know feel it hasn’t been as interesting this year, and are generally attributing that to the people chosen. Anyone have any comments on this ?

They seem to be unusually vacuous and inane this year, although I only saw it for the first time last night, and only for about ten minuytes. Enough to see Jade actually behaving in a way I haven't seen since I was ten (she shouldn't be in this environment, should she? I mean, she seems to have borderline learning difficulties), and Spenser, the "coolest man alive" farting lustily and then adding "that's better".

Quality.

Spencer is a casual with a brain. I always said that the day this happened Satan would go to work in a snowplow... however, brain or not, he's frighteningly dull.

Jade is just hilarious... she seriously appears to have thought that Sherlock Holmes was either Mother Theresa's son or husband. And her tearful comments last night over the fungus ("Am I minging?") had the entire BB house, and my own, cracked up... But she has a remarkable capacity for telling porkies for little or not reason. She comes back from drunkenly telling Big Brother that she wants to leave, and says that he said that she's "got a drinking problem." Which is pure fabrication... and totally off the cuff. Impressive for one so utterly stupid.

I wish Adele had tried to lamp her. Apparently they have a crack team of security guards on 24-hour alert out there, just in case it gets violent. I want to see the men in black invade the house and start throwing Jerry Springer shapes! C'mon! Vogue!

Loved the way Jade went on to explain that ‘Inspector Morse was something to do with Sherlock Holmes, and Mr Heinstein was with Mother Theresa’, or summat on those lines.

And whilst it was amusing to see the shouting, I feel Adele - and then Alex - could have come out better had they just kept quiet whilst Jade ranted, and then gently corrected her…
