Glyn

[Bungle]

You know those 'family' movies where we see a prehistoric man, a cute robot, or an alien be transported to present day suburbia, only for him to battle with everyday appliances with 'hilarious' consequences?

That's Glyn, that is.

[Rooneyboy]

He is, but not half as interesting as the afore mentioned.

[Gordon]

His broken yelp thing honesty curdles me inside. He looks like he was thrown in a pot of boiling water as a baby, yet somehow survived. Or like you could peel his skin off the bone like chinese spare ribs after you've eaten all the meat.

Surely his 'hilarious' patronising popularity (Heat and desperately emphatic I-need-a-proper-job TV pundits) is only that he is arguably unappealing, 'clumsy' (at 18 it's cute not to know how to open a can of beans?) and mumbles, or else breaks his voice if in distress. His 'mind lock' concentration and competitiveness is in need of being challenged. I hate how it's got so cosy already. And Glyn being popular, with or without contrived irony, is just 1 antogonising aspect of it.

I don't know if anyone watched the Only Human doc on before BB last week about the dating agency for people with learning disabilities? Well I did and the contrast was striking.

On the one hand we saw complex, sensitive individuals living independently and looking to form meaningful adult relationships, directly followed by Glyn struggling to find his own mouth with a spoon and proclaiming grotesque spunk-repository Lea to be "the most beautiful woman".

Something has gone wrong somewhere....

How about the guy with learning difficulties (GWLD) who proclaimed:

GWLD: "I want a girlfriend"
Producer: "Why do you want a girlfriend?"
GWLD: "Because I'm horny. And I want the sex"

I didn't want to start a topic on this programme cos I knew It'd turn very un-PC, but it started out being hilarious and then turned really sweet. Despite this me and my housemates still refer to it as the Spaz Sex Programme (sorry!)

Back to Glyn...

I still think he makes great TV. Burning the porridge was hilarious. I really can't see any reason for the level of hate.

More insightful than Glyn finding Lea attractive though! He was my fave: "Mum! I've pulled!"

Genius piece of editing on last night's show!
I'll try to relay it now, apologies for inaccuracies

Glynn, Richard and Pete are talking the bedroom about how good BB has been for Glynn

Glynn: It has really helped me to, be able to,
(long pause as Glynn struggles to find words to finish sentence)

Pete or Richard: Express yourself?

[David Hunter]

Glyn last night: 'No one deserves to be booed...Well maybe if you were Myra Hyndley or someone like that leaving the house...'

[pauliepoos]

It was "No one deserves to be booed when they leave, it's not like they're Myra Hindley or Anne Robinson".

They really do hate her in North Wales.

[SweatShop]

His voice sounds like it's breaking half the time. Those strange yelps... I mean, eh?!

I for one cannot wait for that Celebrity Big Brother. They should fill the whole house with mass murderers, and perhaps Chantelle as the "odd one out" once more.

[Adrian]

Let's hope this: bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds10431.html is shown then.

[Joel]

Oh, and now he says that Susie deserved to be booed because she drank tea and wouldn't play spin the bottle and is still going on about how much he loves Grace, who is 'the nicest girl he's ever met.'
I officially hate Glyn.

[SweatShop]

WHAT. A. PRAT!

[Joel]

Get off the roof you twat.
I wish he'd fallen and broken his neck ankle neck pelvis.

All four please.

[Sean]

Glyn sticking up for Grace is very misguided. She wouldn't look at him twice in the outside world, other than to take the piss out of his shoes or summink. It's the same with Lisa; Grace would CRUCIFY someone like her, or Glyn, or Lea, or indeed Nikki (ie those poorer, uglier and less 'fierce' than she) to her mates if she met them down her local nightspot. Mikey's the same.

Glyn, you are playing yourself.

[Adrian]

I know. He is being totally deluded. I hope BB do some severe punishment for that roof climbing.

I feel Glyn may be shooting him in the foot - or "jeopardising position-ti".

I loved Aisleyne last night - "if the public like someone throwing water over another person, then I don't go along with the public." She is proper ace.

[audrey notwhatsheusedtobe]

I loved that the severity of the situation meant that Imogen immediately started shouting at him in Welsh. Actually I love their Welsh chats. I think that Imogen is a better person in Welsh.

[Essexgirl]

Yes! She is, isn't she? She had spark and an opinion and life which we haven't really seen much of.

[pauliepoos]

I predict Glyn will have a very bad week. He'll miss Imogen more than he could appreciate and will let all his frustrations out, just like Mikey did last week. He's pissed off that Nikki came back in, his eyes have become more dead than usual, and she would have been a poor 4th choice for him out of the housemates.

[Nicholas]

Without Imogen he is really quite isolated: no one seems to like him particularly out of the people left. Jenni does keep saying she loves him, but she says that to everyone.

And, I hope, he did himself quite a lot of damage over the last few days with the dis-Grace-ful visit. Surely by aligning himself so clearly with the Spawn of Satan he has put off a few of the people who rave about the "journey" he's been on in the house. I really don't get this "he's become a man" line that they trot out on BBBM almost every night: he started as a prattish wanker and he's going to finish as one. I wouldn't play spin the bottle with him ... (and, for once, that's not an innuendo).

[Joel]

Oh my God shut UP Davina. Glyn has not been on a journey.
He entered the house a petulant schoolboy with an obsession for breasts, lacking the ability to wipe his own arse without instructions and he's going to leave the house as a petulant schoolboy with an obsession for breasts, lacking the ability to wipe his own arse without instructions. With shorter hair.

[I Hate Lana Lang]

I would never allow him to teach my daughter. He'd probably ogle her tits.

[Essexgirl]

"I am frightened of being ejaculated from the house" is one of my top five moments of this year's BB with Pete falling in the pool and Richard getting stuck in the sofa.
