The new semi-housemates...very strange. I don't forsee anything going wrong with Kinga's plan to come between Maxwell and Saskia, nope, not at all. That'll definitely work. I actually think Eugene is quite sweet, but then I've had a bit of a drought recently. Bless Orlaith and her 'social skills'...I loved her Diary Room cry for help.
Usually, I'm unsure about BB's gimmicks...but they might just pull this one off, especially as it involves another secret mission for Makosi. How much do the producers want Makosi to win? Almost as much as I do!

What I don't understand is that on the Friday night show, when they went in live, Kinga Konga and Eugene already knew each other, yet on the highlights show on Saturday the sentence where they greeted each other by name was cut out.... very strange.
What's Makosi's new secret mission? Have I missed something?

Watch tonight. You're a day behind if you don't watch live streaming/read the website.

3 ugly naked people in a pretend garden. It's porn gone wrong. So very wrong!

Heh. I didn't get the bit about Kinga and Eugene seeming to know each other either. I watched tonight, but I think I've missed something else. Haven't been completely up to date with my BB, I'm a bit not well.
Anyway, after some careful consideration, I have decided that Makosi is ace. When she had her first mission with trying to get the most votes, I thought she was fun, but as this year has been a little patchy (for me, anyway), I wasn't really backing her because I couldn't like any of them. This secret garden task has completely changed my mind. She acts so ditzy sometimes, and then she goes and does this. It's like, she's playing Kemal and Vanessa by telling them that she could be going (which is true, yep, but she's acting like it's so much more certain than it actually is). Then she's playing the rest of the house, by pretending to cry. And Derek is going on about how thick she is, and how she wants to be thought of as daring, but she's really just stupid. And during all this, Makosi just seems to be thrilled to be sneaking around again on a secret mission, but letting on to everyone else she fucked up by pushing the button. It's such a masterful plan.
She was totally right about her being the right person for that task. I can't imagine any other housemate being as good. Ha, and then she had Derek, Kemal and Vanessa chanting for her. Priceless.

I adore Makosi, I really mean that.
But I hate Saskia. Chavskia more like.

The whole Saskia/Maxwell/Craig/Antony square is really starting to get boring. Makosi is really coming into her own. I'm still a bit unsure of her, as I can't really work her out, but she is really the best person for this task, she is making it so entertaining, and for showing up Vanessa for being such a leech and Derek for not being nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is. Plus, she is astoundingly beautiful. Does anyone remember Davina saying on Friday that there is only room in the house for two new housemates? What do you want to bet that it'll be Kinga who won't get in? I love Eugene.

Oh and I would bet that Kinga and Eugene know each other from auditions.

According to the Scottish Papers (Eugene worked up here on Beat 106 for a year) he was one of the people who tested the house before the real housemates went in.

FFS.
Makosi got to choose which of the three went in and she dropped Kinga.

Eh. I don't care either way, the only one I liked out of them was Eugene. He seemed to be actually genuine. And he kind of reminded me of myself with his caffeine fixes.
I loved how after he'd cried in the Diary Room, he had sort of tried to wipe his eyes, but figured it'd be evident (though really, wih those two, I don't know if they'd have noticed) and so just sort of went "well, it's been obvious I've had a little cry" and was all sort of laughing it off, embarrassed. I was all "awww!" at the telly.
Also, I'm finding the fact that everyone is pronouncing the other girl's name "Or-nah" rather than "Or-lah" far more entertaining that it should be.

I am starting to think that she will never get evicted because all the people texting in her name will be spelling it wrong. I am basing this on Digital Spy Big Brother boards where I think her name has been spelt correctly less than ten times. Some of them still can't spell Kemal.

Eeek we actually saw naked people on BB!
Kinga was already annoying me so I'm glad we got rid of her.
BB seem to be doing a lot to make Makosi the protagonist in all these challenges - She's come through it all really well, being clever and funny enough to carry it off. The cider thing last night being an excellent example.
I just wonder will BB turn on her?

Poor Kinga! I thought she had a much prettier face than Orlaith and was actually quite intelligent and nice underneath all her loudness. Is Orlaith really that hard to pronouce/spell? Maybe it's cuz I'm from an Irish family and have a weirdly spelt Irish name but really, Orlaith is no worse than Niamh or Siobhan. Don't really get the big deal over her to be honest, nice tits and ass but shoulder blades that could cut a bitch. Eat a sandwich, Orlaith!
I don't think BB are trying to make Makosi the main person in all the challenges, it's just every time they set one up Makosi takes the bait. I actually think they edit Saskia's crew too favourably- in the fight last night between Saskia & Makosi, they made it look like Saskia was making all the putdowns and Makosi was just sitting their unsure of what to say, when in fact she called out Saskia for using Maxwell and for being hypocritical cuz she's stolen alcohol at least twice.
Apparently some people think Eugene might have Asperger's Syndrome. He's nice but I don't really want him in the house, he's far too awkward and thus a bit painful/cringe-y to watch (perfect example: him crying the other day).

Yeah, I was just basing it on the average intelligence of people who actually text in votes on Big Brother. Normally young kids, and if it's not them it's illterate fans of Maxwell. Or you know, the few intelligent people in Britain nowadays who can still spell. (lovely lowculture friends...!) Every day I hate Saskia more and more. I am also liking Makosi more and more. I m hoping she wins after "I don't want to hear from you Team Britney!" Class.

I think that's kind of ridiculous (the aspergers part I mean) a) because he isn't showing any of the real signs of aspergers and B) because I don't believe for a second that BB would put someone with Aspergers into the house, it would be totally immoral. The argument last night was brilliant. All hail Makosi.

Yes they have been favoured a lot in the editing but the tide seems to have turned, mainly because they seem overly smug and think they have it in the bag. As much as Endemol move the goalposts to get the results they want I don't think they like housemates thinking they are the ones running things on the show. Though last night's editing of the fight made Saskia look worse if Makosi wasn't shown to be reacting.

It certainly didn't show her in a good light. Nor did singing the praises of Jordan as a 'successful businesswoman' with a straight face. Deluded, bigoted and vindictive, what's not to like?

Yeah that was a bit suspicious, though Anthony said something even worse on tonight's highlights to Science, can't remember what it was now. He also ALWAYS brought up that Makosi was black every time she flirted with him, it was extremely cringey, and when Derek told him to go back to the coal mines he almost said " oh go back to pickin..." and then stopped himself (Maxwell said he knew what he was going to say). Also after the big Saskia-Makosi showdown Craig said Makosi should "try Big Brother Zimbabwe, you might do better there" (not actually to her I should add). I don't want to be the PC police but I do think 'that lot' are a bit suspect in their views.
Saskia is so transparent, she's worried she won't be remembered now she's obviously gone so she's copping off with Maxwell to rile up some attention- pathetic.
Also seeing Orlaith in the context of the other housemates made me realise how attractive she is.
AND did anyone see Kinga on today's BBLB? A part of her died every time they did a close up of her in the fig leaf bikini. Poor girl. She seemed very well spoken and actually quite posh compared to when she first went in.

The sight of Eugene's semi in the shower has scarred me more than Caggy from BB1s lipliner ever could.
Makosi is of course the star of BB so far, and the fact she is 'starting to annoy' Jason from BB5 in his, as you would imagine, eloquent and well written, column makes her all the more sweet!
Can't wait to hear how loud Saskia gets booed on Friday...hopefully someone will jump the barrier and scrub her mouth with soap, or failing that deck the bitch.

Not that I want to get into a debate about racism, but it isn't just 'that lot' who are a bit suspect in their views. Derek's comment about the coal mines is just as informed by pointless and outdated stereotypes. But hey, apparently "reality TV has done more for racial understanding than any other media creation in recent years." news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4629253.stm

Maxwell is the personification of Nuts/Zoo magazine. The type of guy who will almost definitely be seen next summer throwing plastic chairs at German locals bare chested, full of Stella.
