Really, what the fuck is going on? First Victor goes, hmmm, standard racist british response to get rid of the big black guy rather than the big white guy, sucks, but same old. Then Stuart gets evicted despite his huge popularity, and even jason can't believe it. Then holy moly allege wrong doings. Now Shell and Dan. Jason makes it to the final. Nadia is obviously going to win, and yeah, I'd rather her than him, but I don't feel very convinced that what I've seen is in any way reality.

I really, REALLY don't understand what the fuck is going on. Who is actually voting for this guy? I don't know one person who likes him.
However, looking at the official forum, he does seem to have a big fanbase- because of the Jungle Cats, and also, it seems, because some people can't stomach the idea of a 'freak show' (actual quote) winning BB. One person is claiming to have spent £400 on voting for Jay. Craziness.

I think being disliked actually really helps - people like to have a villain figure, and it gets you a fanbase. Hence Jason's obvious popularity - people admire his frankness even though he's a fucking prick at the same time. Had it been a vote to evict, Jason would have gone first without a doubt.

I do think there was something weird going on during this year's BB. I mean, I don't think any of them were actors, but I do think they were maybe given instructions by the producers to liven things up a bit. Kitten's refusal to go into the house until she'd given her girlfriend a nice, long tongue sandwich for the cameras, Jason proclaiming to be bisexual and then changing his mind halfway through...it all seemed a bit too convenient. Maybe the producers just picked the right mix of housemates with the right personalities, I don't know. It just all seemed a bit too perfect; the polar opposite of last year.

racist british response to get rid of the big black guy rather than the big white guy, sucks, but same old. Jason was always the least popular before the wedding. He got the stick for being the brains of the operation and people were talking about Victor probably being a bit nicer once Jason had gone. I'm sure there would have been a few racists voting, but the racist (subconcious and otherwise) vote wasn't enough to push Victor ahead in the polls before the wedding. Unless there was a rush of people tuning in to see the wedding fight then realising they hadn't noticed Victor was black before, there's no reason the racist vote would have been any higher after the wedding, it was his own actions that put him ahead. I'm not too surprised at Stuart leaving first either, looking around the forums I didn't see many people promising to vote for him, yet quite a few voting for Shell. I think Dan came third because he had a similar voting market to Nadia and couldn't really compete with her. There was no one else in the house like Jason to vote for after Victor left, although had this been an eviction instead of voting for the winner, I think he'd have come 5th for that exact same reason. And you have to wonder, why would Big Brother be so concerned with Stuart to fix the thing anyway? Holy Moly have claimed he was chucked out because the discovered he was a "mole" (something the rest of us heard in the first two weeks) and communicating with them. It's hardly against the rules, or even a big thing at all, to have mates outside who run a website, and the secret things he was supposed to be telling themv ia coloured headwear (the ones I heard about anyway) turned out to be rubbish.

Well what he was telling them may have been true (I'm particularly interested in the covered up Michelle Vs Becki fight) but what confused me as to how he was telling them this via the medium of the bandana. For those without Holy Moly these are the revelations: To start with: Stuart then has teething troubles with his codes: He then gets into the swing of things though manages to be less than complimentary about someone he'd be shagging about six weeks later: Correctly reveals Emma is being booted off but gets the date wrong (she was removed two days later. The lack of psychoanalysts was addressed (these would be the psychoanalysts who came back later). This addresses a midweek eviction, which never happened: A rumour which I very much doubt came from Stuart unless he'd written it all on that big hat. It is however the one I really want to be, and really believe could be true. Marco has already said none of them can legally talk about Fight Night, that the police demanded Emma's removal and that if there was any more trouble the show would be shut down. Oh and at the time of the plane the cameras did mysteriously lose the feed for an hour whilst all three tabloids managed to have in-depth reports on a story which apparently "never happened": Again probably not from Stuart but did happen, as well as someone (probably Victor) signalling to Jason in Morse Code from Tesco's car park that he was safe & Michelle was going. And the eventual eviction message: Now which combination of bandanas and clothing could come up with that lot?

I don't get it. Stuart was sending messages to Holy Moly via his bandanas and other clothes. I can sort of believe that. But how the hell would he know what BB were planning etc? And how does a goody two-shoes Uni student know HM? As I said, I don't get it.
