Well now, Emma's out, the looooong vote for Dan vs Vanessa is going to end so spectacularly with Vanessa out (Dan being now the man to everyone as opposed to the 'dad', and Van just moaning about how everyone hates her boo hoo). And so it will be *ages* until Victor gets nominated and voted out by a landslide (Against Ahmed who will be further astounded, but I think he's now settled and OK).

We've had the young lovers' continuing to not actually do it, and Jason's friend will be out by the time he's worked out he might actually miss her.

So what happens this week? Answer: Nothing. Possibly. It's a very real possibility. All the fireworks went off at once.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 07:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, Dan's observation about 'a table full of food -> foodfight' now has become 'a table full of food -> "war"' is quite stunning.

Dan may actually prove to be the smartest housemate ever...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 07:46 (twenty-one years ago)

"Easy week this week," he told Stu this afternoon. "Week after that, it's all gonna kick off. Week 5 - the biggest week, innit? Me, Jay, Marco and Nadia [will be nominated]. Mate, the battle lines have been drawn."

(Guess who?)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 08:20 (twenty-one years ago)

He makes such a fuss over it, but Victor's 'grand plan' is really not all that. The only way it will work is if neither he nor Jason get nominated ever, and given what cunts they've been I can't imagine that will last long.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 21 June 2004 08:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The Emma interview last night... does the fact that they couldn't talk about the fight mean that legal proceedings are going to be brought? Is she going to be prosecuted under hate crimes? And what about the Sunday paper lead that she had an incestous lesbian relationship for 12 months?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 21 June 2004 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

who with? (arf)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I think it's more to the fact that Emma could say a lot of 'contentious' things, and BB didn't want the responsibility/get sued. Read the Sun and the Mirror for the stuff, as they aren't bothered about legal actions if the increase in circulation would more than pay off...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a feeling Big Bro has just ...stopped without emma. Do you think it will get going again?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, next week when we see who's up for eviction, and whether the public evict a Seal or an Alpha Male. It'll definitely make everyone reasses what's going on.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Prediction: there will be no thread 6.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, as the other threads got way past the 300 messages point, and this one is a bit dribbly in, I guess you are probably right.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

12:55: Michelle asks Shell to give her a facial - they discuss what sort to do.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I think Victor's plan is going swimmingly. Everyone seems to really like him again, and he's making a big effort to get on with peoplem (big hugs all round, chatting to the swallows as well as the amazons), while Jason just sulks around in his waffle robe and makes himself unpopular with almost everyone, particularly the viewing public.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

What Victor needs to figure out is that the only possible chance he has of winning a public vote is if he gets nominated alongside Jason. He needs to turn people in the house against Jason once the Vanessa/Dan battle is dealt with.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a feeling Big Bro has just ...stopped without emma. Do you think it will get going again?

I thought this when Kitten left. I was wrong.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Me, Jay, Marco and Nadia
If that was Victor, that's just who I predicted will be up next week.

Who here thinks that Victor (if nominated) will be out on a landslide? I hope not.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I think so. I hope so.

Yeah, there's 'voting out the interesting people'. And there's 'voting out the people who go into the diary room and say exactly the same thing again and again'.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd rather jason go, as soon as possible.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Jason, then nadia/marco, then marco/nadia, then i'm not fussed. you can have victor then.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

leaving Stu, Dan, Shell, Ahmed? oh rock and roll....

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

keep Michelle, Nadia, Dan, Victor for as long as poss, the others can go for all i care especially creepy 'bath-robe & baseball-hat' Jason.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jason vs Victor next week, and that could be the only way Victor would stay in. Because he's "Wet seven men in seven cities".

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

> Because he's "Wet seven men in seven cities".

Stuart's growing on me after the Tiagra thing and the Sheriff thing, reminds me of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.

― koogs (koogs), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

much as i detest jason i think marco is the only one without a single redeeming feature.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 21 June 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the way he says 'whatever' and 'd'you know what I mean?'.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 21 June 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Does he say it like Nenah Cherry?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 21 June 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

nah he says it like patsy.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 21 June 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

The BB5 drinking game must include downing your pint whenever Marco says 'ohmigod'.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Monday, 21 June 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Michelle: "Did you dream about me last night?"
Stuart: "No, I actually dreamt I was back at school..."
M: "You're supposed to lie!"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just fallen out with Big Brother. If emma was to go, then Victor and muscle mary should go.

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:53 (twenty-one years ago)

God, but I'm beginning to like Stuart's "style".

― Crickets Dance On Tequila Booty (Barima), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha stuart is totally like me

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Gwyneth Paltrow has confessed to being a huge fan of Big Brother.

She has revealed that her favourite housemate is Daniel, while her husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin, likes Vanessa.

Gwyneth enjoys watching the housemates while she is at home, spending time with her new baby, Apple.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they seem like a lovely couple.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Vanessa is very Gwyneth.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

After last nights episode, I think Jason is fully justified in wanting to strangle Marco.

Sooner or later we are going to get Victor vs Jason KLASH OF THE ALPHA MALES which has got to be interesting.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

After last nights episode, I think Jason is fully justified in wanting to strangle Marco.

True, but it just goes to show how much relations have stretched way beyond normal that the only reaction anyone can have is to freak out when someone's doing something they don't like, instead of just saying 'look lads, we're trying to have a bit of a lie down, you couldn't ever keep the noise down, could you?' Which would be what I would do.

Which is why I'm not in the BB house, I guess.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

"Vanessa is very Gwyneth."

sorry, only if if "Vanessa" means "Shell", right ??!?!

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

BORING OLD ACCENTMONKEY MUST GO!!!

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

ambrose - I thought about that, but I like Shell and I don't like Gwyneth.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

(even though I think she's a great actress and pretty and all)

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

ambrose OTM (see "thread 1")

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Nadia's going to start smacking people around with her breasts, isn't she?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Gwyneth seems much more driven and spoilt than Shell.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Who here thinks that Victor (if nominated) will be out on a landslide? I hope not.

I think so. I hope so.

no way. He still has way more fans than hatas in TV land. I'm no fan, mind, but he has loads.

dizzee's biggest problem right now is that he's convinced everyone in the house must be in it to win it, as he is. He can't seem to grasp the fact that some housemates just want to be in the house full stop (for the fleeting fame or whatever).

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

BORING OLD ACCENTMONKEY MUST GO!!!

You say that now, but...

No, you're right. I would have to go.

I don't specially want Victor to be evicted. He might learn something yet.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Nadia's "I just want someone to love me" bit in the diary room was surprisingly moving, I thought. Not sure which housemate she's referring to though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan was trying to convince Jason that she had a crush on him so that Jason would feel slightly guilty about wanting to kill her. I had assumed that Dan was making it up and appealing to the only language Jason understands, but maybe she really does have a crush on him.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

big brother is dead and jason is a sex pest.

If Marco does go, what happens to the Harem? It has its head cut off, and won't survive. When Jason goes Michelle becomes an honorary Jungle Cat, that'll be the week that Ahmed goes.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Again, I think Becki missed an opportunity to show some cool by not putting herself up for the vote. (to clarify: if she refused to nom or discussed it, she would automatically go up for the vote against the two others)

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

The so-called infallible AOL Poll:

Marco
2195
37%

Michelle
1826
31%

Nadia
1909
32%

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I reckon Marco will go.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

im quite surprised Michelle has as much as 31%.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Surely Michelle actually got Ahmed to choose who would go. Was that not the point of him choosing which hand she had the cigarette in? I think she had a choice in her head between 2 people and because he chose correctly the hand with the cigarette in that meant she chose Michelle.

― mms (mms), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

'i can't decide whether to finish this cigarette' does anyone ever have this problem?

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

From the Channel 4 site, Ahmed talking to Becki:

"If you are relaxed you can keep your erection for as long as you want," he told her. Ahmed told her that being too "forward" could result in catastrophic orgasms but being too relaxed could lead a chap to lose wood.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

sting to thread

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I Like Jason's "Do you know I've got this seventh sense?" Taking it for granted that they all knew about his sixth sense.

― Davel (Davel), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Also Michelle on coming to see Stuart after the show:

"I'll travel on a train with the public"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Latest poll update:

Marco
36%

Michelle
32%

Nadia
32%

I'm like the DJ Martian of Big Brother.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would want either of the other two out and Marco kept in. The man is utterly devoid of redeeming features, by miles the worst housemate ever. And he looks like the Mekon, which enhances his sinister aspect.

I reckon if Nadia stays in Big Brother should confiscate all her cigarettes again. That'd be funny.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Music begins to play - it's Toploader's 'Dancing in the Moonlight'. Everyone starts screaming and run out into the garden and LA, singing and dancing. Marco wails along. "Let's try and listen to the music," says Jason.

Why does Victor instist on chewing on sticks?

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

All folksy jumpers and beards, they performed their self-penned 'Barley Heritage Bicycle of Love' with gusto.

MARCO MUST GO. please god

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I kinda felt a bit sorry for Marco yesterday when bollocky Victor got all up in his face.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Marco's ability to keep his voice at normal talky volume while Victor bellowed at him was admirable (and probably wound V up even more - it's a trick I've used in the past, hem hem)

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Very admirable. I was screaming at the tele, tell him to FUCK OFF WANKER

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

me too, but I meant MARCO, the childish fucker

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

that was the first time in the whole series that Victor had a good point and made it well.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, except that I still don't like the way Victor and Jason spend all their time talking about 'respect' and how people need to 'respect' them. I don't think they know what the word means.

I was also amused to see that Michelle, at least, is capable of just asking people not to do something that really annoys her, instead of turning it into a circus.

Also, isn't anyone going to tell Jason off for basically telling Michelle that he didn't nominate her? Or have they decided at this stage that it's all gone too far to worry about things like that?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Jason, for once, being unselfish?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

and it WASN'T admirable. that's what plenty of people would do so it's at best normal. but marco was doing it in the worst possible passive aggressive sulky way evah.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

J and V both got called into the diary room and warned about "talking in a way that could be regarded as discussing nominations" (or somesuch) last night. of course it wont come to a third warning/eviction. The producers must realise thay HAVE to keep both in to make the show watchable.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I'm trying to be devil's advocate a bit - Marco's behaviour was terrible - but shouting at work results in disciplinary action. I see the BB situation as very similar to being at work, with no choice over who you have to spend your time with, plenty of people behaving like arseholes and the only way to do your job well (ie. win BB or at least reach the last 3 in their case) is to put on a smile and get on with people you likely can't stand.

Please note that the situation in my workplace is fucking awful at the moment, complete with screaming matches, open bitching and some really nasty ganging-up so I may be reading more into it because of that.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Marco is convinced that he's going to still be in next week though, he's already talking about what he's going to do next week. I would rather stab myself than watch Davina interview him, though. That's going to be the worst television ever.

Also: last week, you could have got Victor to outlast Marco at 10/1. Now, Victor to outlast Marco: 1/5.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

One of these weeks, they will have no noms and everyone up for evic. Evil?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Predict next week's eviction then. Becki vs Nadia?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Jason v Nadia, I would expect.

Oh, no, I didn't mean her losing her cool at being nominated (although I've always thought that's more or less the same thing as I would do in that situation). I meant her asking everyone not to piss on the seat of the chemical toilet. If it was something that had been annoying Jason, he would have brooded about it, given out to Victor about it, but not actually asked people to make sure they didn't do it.
