I am. With less gusto than is customary though. And won't miss it much when I got to Egypt for a week, unlike my time in Morocco last year when I was watching the evictions on youtube in internet cafes.
Chanelle has always annoyed me but Ziggy's manipulations to wrest his freedom from her by having her finish with him are adding hugely to my deep dislike of lipless Ziglet.
Waiting to see the "Australian" enter but hoping she's going to stir it up a bit because the whole thing is dying on its knees otherwise.
Still loving Gerry. 100%. And Brian. And Liam. And amused by the twins, on occasion.
Still finding Charley intensely irritating. And disappointed by Carole, the nagmeister. And hoping the world continues to embitter Nicky until her head implodes and only her whiny voice remains. |

Okay, so I've largely abandoned this blog for Digital Spy, but here we go... |

|
| Thankyou for the gays... |
[Jun. 12th, 2007|07:03 am] |
... those endless gays, those sacred gays you gave me. Thankyou, Big Brother.
I'm a bit hooked on Digital Spy at the mo, hence neglectful of proper updates here. Having regirded my loins, I started another thread, this time inspired by the Gerry/Seany relationship and musings thereof.
I won't forget a single gay, believe me. |

| Greek love |
[Jun. 9th, 2007|06:15 pm] |
So... today, I have been mostly watching E4 and incubating a gentle crush on Gerry, endearingly Stavrosesque vocal tics and all. He seems nicely substantial but not overly toned 'n' buffed. Not terribly hairy (aren't Greeks meant to be, like, the hairiest people on Earth?) but hey ho, y'can't have everything. He seems easy-going and pleasant, intelligent but, unlike Lesley, disinclined to wield his intellect scathingly (which is a relief, given that his profile info suggests he disliked "uneducated" people...).
Here's the moment when he and the frankly repellent Seany entered the House:

| BBBM: "Was it brave of Big Brother..." |
[Jun. 9th, 2007|12:15 am] |
"... to put in a couple of gay guys? Everyone expected a couple of hunks."
Because, obviously, the two categories are mutually exclusive. Why am I surprised that George Galloway's being a cock? "Obviously, Ziggy's still the most attractive," apparently. Speak for yourself, Catman. |

| Day 10: Enter the Men! |
[Jun. 8th, 2007|08:45 pm] |
|
So to speak, fnar etc. Friday night's in-place-of-eviction special, and we're hoping for at least one gayer, ideally the payer of gayer bayers. We'll see. |
|
|
| Amen! |
[Jun. 7th, 2007|11:41 pm] |
Tomorrow night, for the first time, just about half past ten, it's gonna start rainin' men! Ok, well, 2 men in the BB house.
Please God let them be interesting! Although actually Ziggy, bland as he is, has proved to be likeable enough. |

| Emily has been evicted |
[Jun. 7th, 2007|10:37 am] |
|
Emily was thrown out of the house last night. There's a transcript on Digital Spy of her use of the n word. It's been reported that she was kicked for using a racial slur. |
|
|
| Day 8: Emily vs Shabnam |
[Jun. 6th, 2007|10:43 pm] |
Apparently. And, if Digital Spy's anything to go by (which is a sizeable 'if'), this'll all be about Emily's spat with Ziggy. Seemingly she tricks him into admitting he nominated her, then suggests that Chanelle is a "slut" with a g*m*pl*n for sharing a bed with Mr Bateman.
Cue tears and "nobody's defending meee". |

| Day 7: Sundry food-related passive-aggressiveness |
[Jun. 5th, 2007|10:28 pm] |
|
Why is it so difficult for them to get the group together? What's with all this "I'm not having a meeting, it'll only depress me, I'd rather walk out/make my complaints in a separate room/make an issue of the meeting itself"? I'm really feeling for those who're actually trying to discuss the various practical issues (basically, how to make the food/bogroll last) but it really does seem like herding unusually histrionic/passive-aggressive cats... |

| "Bitchy gay wannabe" to enter House? |
[Jun. 5th, 2007|11:31 am] |
According to that enormous red-topped organ The Daily Star, an 18-year-old make-up artist is on standby to enter the House next week:
But he plans to make a name for himself by being a catty troublemaker and laugh-a-minute camp comedian.
“Rylan is a complete bitch,” a pal said last night. “He will stop at nothing to become famous.
“He’s like a cross between that high-pitched squealer Marco Sabba from BB5 and the camp hairdresser Craig Coates from BB6.
“It’s going to be hell in there for everyone. If he fancies someone it won’t matter if they are straight or gay.
“He’ll chase the men when they finally all turn up and even try to turn them.
Oh joy. Here we have a hybridised ticker of all the BB gayer boxes: squealy, camp, bitchy, obsessive sexual terrrrist who's clearly set up as a Little Britain character... |
|
|
| Well... |
[Jun. 4th, 2007|09:54 pm] |
I think the fact that there haven't really been a lot of posts in this community since Friday says a lot about the state of the house at the moment. *yawn*
I didn't really feel let down by the all-girls thing Ziggy(gah what a name is so bland I'm starting to feel let down by the whole thing.
Will it get interesting I wonder? Many more weeks to go yet...
(off to go post 'this is the worst series of BB evar!!1' to DS) |

| Day 3: Man Friday |
[Jun. 1st, 2007|09:37 pm] |
Still interested in a semi-detached kind of way, although I'm oddly disinclined to persevere with the live feed. It's vaguely enlightening to see the (relative) harmony of a woman-only House but I'm afraid I really do miss teh men. As does a fair proportion of viewers if Digital Spy's any yardstick; a common response is "OMG, X is a MAN!1!" where X = individual who's not conventionally beautiful.
Suspect Man Friday will have sole power to nominate this week. |

| Digital Spy: I oughtta know by now... |
[May. 31st, 2007|10:39 pm] |
... to avoid threads titled "Not politically correct but...". This one's about how, not being gayaphobic or anything, but isn't it good that there's no "Kemal and Co" ramming it down our throats and making out they're special coz they're gay.
Thank God someone had the guts to say it. |

| Day 1 Highlights Show |
[May. 31st, 2007|10:25 pm] |
The all girl thing, coupled with the adrenaline rush they all seem to be feeling is uncomfortably reminding me of the worst slumber parties of my youth I would hate to be in there with those twins! They remind me of pink poodles.
Charley is failing to impress. I love her pouting and fixing her hair right into the cameras. It's obviously her 'sexy' look.
Lesley seems a bit out of her depth. A bit pathological telling people, 'the producers told me I would have the single bed..'
Still formulating my thoughts on the rest of them. |

| Day 2: Coming round to the all-female House idea |
[May. 31st, 2007|01:56 am] |
Okay, so having spent a while gently simmering in Digital Spy, I'm coming around the all-female House. It's been pointed out that, actually, the individuals there represent a fairly good spread in terms of age and gender expression albeit across one sex rather than two. Also, the fact that they're getting a head start allows group bonding along different lines from last year's boringly predictable Team Het opposite-sex pairings (currently looking like smokers/non-smokers) - which might make for a more interesting team dynamic in the long run, once men are introduced.
I reckon they're going to introduce half a dozen male Housemates on Friday, into the House Next Door, and we'll vote on who gets to spend the weekend being the only man in the main House. Allowing viewer choice in the matter seems to me to be one of the few ways they can manage the 'one male among females' thing without it seeming horribly contrived and cheesy. I'm really hoping the twist isn't OMG!! ITS A GAY GUY!!1 and the women are set up (explicitly in a secret 'flirt with him' task or more implicitly) to compete for his affection (bleurgh) while - LOL!1 - he's instructed to remain closeted.
We'll see. As I say, though, the idea of all-female group bonding before men are introduced is growing on me. |

| Chris "A Bit Fucking Gay" Moyles on BBBM |
[May. 30th, 2007|11:51 pm] |
"The saviour of Big Brother's Big Mouth", apparently. I think not, shouty little fat man. I guess at least he doesn't have any male entrants to comment on; that'd be a bit bloody gay. Because obviously men aren't able to comment on men, particularly looks-wise.
(Having said which, I'll probably be loving it by the end of the run.) |

Take him out and shoot him. Now. And give him a good kicking first. In fact, I may have to go round to Borehamwood and do it myself. |
