Given that 3 of them have walked, has there been any word about replacement housemates? At this stage they're going to need pretty amazing ones to rescue the show from the pits of tedium. Hopefully they'll put in someone who has the resilience to completely crush Jade.

Well according to oh-so reliable sunday mirror, Lauren Harries+ mother is going in very soon(apparently lauren was going in yesterday night) but Lauren seems very very very weird. Seeing him when he was young on that programme I get such bad vibes from.

Lauren and her family are very well known in Cardiff, for obvious reasons.
They could out Goody the Goodys, with the dad's conviction for arson and fraud, the mother and the fake degree and stripping past, the older brother and the drug addictions and the younger brother with voyeuristic habits.

They seem very controlling and very scary. I mean how dodgy is it to let your son do such a major thing as gender re-assignment surgery with you as the consultant psychiatrist lying to pretend you're not related to him. And you don't even have a real psychiatry degree. |

Please god let this not be true. I don't know if I could force myself to work on it knowing I would have to be watching the dreadful Lauren Harries.

Lauren would idolise Shipla and despise Jade.

They could out Goody the Goodys Lauren really could take on Jade. She seems insanely fearless. Although what's with this thing of housemates dragging their families in with them? It's such a cop-out. I'd rather see Lauren plus 2 other random celebs go in. I still secretly hope for David Icke after he was rumoured to be going in a few years ago. |

God help me for watching the live feed, but a limo has been parked in the middle of the garden. What's the betting someone is inside?

The website says the limo's for the task. Something to do with them all dressing up for a "red carpet event", but it's actually an assault course.

If the rumour is true that Lauren goes in, gah, that just depresses me. She is another basket case, and it would appear to make this series even more the let's laugh at (in Carole's words) "Essentialy sub-normal" people.
I wish that a strong, articulate person (a la Germaine greer) would go in and just wipe the floor with the silly girls. How about someone working class and clever, now there's a novel concept eh?
(Oooh, Julie Burchill would be hilarious!)

Didn't Lauren pull out at the last minute from going in originally as she failed the mental tests, or was that someone else

Perhaps she passed the mental tests, and that's why she wasn't allowed in.

(Oooh, Julie Burchill would be hilarious!) That would be amazing and I could see her being up for it to an extent, although I'd worry about her unpleasant penchant for Islamophobia around Jermaine (I think he's Muslim). It would make a nice change to have some new people who are actually relatively well known for having DONE SOMETHING other than shagging someone vaguely famous or being a fool. I'm not kidding myself that we'd get someone with an existing career or anything - at this point I'd be impressed by one of the Venga Boys, or an extra from Eastenders circa 1989. |

Read a completely bizarre rumour in the Sun today that rapper Ja Rule may be going into the house. Ja Rule is not a very good rapper but does have a very amusing deep and gravelly 'rap' voice.
While this rumour seems a bit too bizarre to be true I imagine those at Big Brother HQ may be hunting about for some more ethnic minority celebs to try and counter-balance all of the negative press that has come out today. There have been about 200 complaints thus far about Jade et al's perceived racism to towards the lovely Shilpa - the Daily Mirror is carrying the headline 'Bigot Brother'.

Well it's hardly surprising, the thing with people with existing careers is they've got careers. So they don't tend to fancy taking a month out to sit in a nightmare prison with a bunch of freaks. |

Erm yes I realise that, that's why I said I wasn't expecting anyone with an existing career, but a past career of some form would be impressive.
Although... thinking about it, Germaine Greer and George Galloway had existing careers, so it's not such an outlandish concept.

I would love for Lenny Henry to go in, or Jo Brand. It is for charity after all. How about Trisha? Or Jeremy Kyle!?!

I heard the same rumour in The Sun today. Maybe now that everyone thinks they're a big bunch of racists Channel 4 may have decided that it is worth paying Lil' Kim the £500'000 she was rumoured to be asking for. She is proper hard (she has been in prison and everything!) so maybe she could duff Jade and chums up big style.
