For fuck's sake.....
Although if they have some fit ones of the strong, silent yet completely beautiful sort, I'll be happy.
Won't hold my breath

Please don't let this be true. Big Brother, across eight series, has had quite possibly the worst selection of gays in the history of bummage. I'd bet, even with half a houseful of gayers, you'd be hard pushed to find one that didn't make you ashamed to be human.
However, let the record show that Nadia doesn't count as one of the gays. She was (1) a bird, and (2) a bit ace.
Also, how exactly is Dermot going to do both BBLB and The X Factor? Presumably it won't be a six-episodes-a-week jobby?

I just looked at the picture of the new house.
*yawn*
Secret rooms? Didn't the producers realise that the secret rooms last year were introduced faaaar too early and in the end were pretty crap? The only secret room that really worked was Michelle and Emma's bedsit, and even then it was the timing of having it (when Jason was fully at-one with the white dressing gown, convinced of his own sexiness and Victor spent the whole time pouting and growling at the girls) that really made it work, particularly the spying and the pranks they played. Having secret rooms just for that sake of having them won't work, not to mention the fact that the new housemates will probably already know (or at least suspect) that there will be one.
Bah.
Despite my moaning, I know I'll start watching it, berate myself for doing so then wondering why it's suddenly September.

I'd bet, even with half a houseful of gayers, you'd be hard pushed to find one that didn't make you ashamed to be human. Come to think of it, I can't think of many contestants over the series who made me feel proud to be human, gay, straight or somewhere in between. |

Sorry, but this bit - "Some of our best contestants in previous years have been gay" - has made me laugh like a drain. I'll concede Anna, and Brian was entertaining, but apart from that...

I'm afraid that, if this is true, they are just hoping for some gratuitous butt fucking. First "Live Gay Sex" would make the headlines and certainly make a change from "Slapper Sucks Idiot Off Under The Duvet" for BB.

Anna is still my favourite Big Brother housemate by a long way, and I quite liked Dan BB5, especially when he was paired up with Nadia. But the rest of the gay housmates on Big Brother have been pretty awful.
I have noticed that none of the gay housemates in Big Brother ever seem to like each other much. Richard and Michael disliked each other, Brian and Josh didn't like each other, Marco and Dan never seemed to have much time for each other (in fact, I don't think Dan hung round with Nadia much until Marco was evicted), and the least said about the gays in BB6 the better. I wonder if it will be the same this time round.

Just because two men wank thinking about Brad instead of Angelina doesn't mean they'll like each other. Everyone should be aware now that Big Brother doesn't select ordinary people to be paraded, they pick an odd bunch who they'll know will clash with each other.
I know people are commenting on the story that was originally in the newspaper but I feel slightly sad that gays (not just on here) are judging the gays solely on being gay. I'd like to think that Anna would have been a nice person if she was married with 2 kids, and that Richard would have been just as smug if he'd been a major pussy hound. There's (still) enough hating on gays without us doing it to each other.

Gays and the vacuous infantile ways in which the media portrays them (except if you're Lord Browne) get the Heat readers in. And it'll get the tabloids into a merry frenzy.
I'm hoping for a hardcore fisting session on teatime tv.
Maybe they'll convert one of the secret rooms into a darkroom, with a sling.
In fact, I'd go on Big Brother, make a it's-only-fucking pact with one of the other gays and set these plans in motion.
If I were minded to, obviously.

The idea does seem stupid. I can't remember a gay relationship happening on BB, and sure;y thats what attracts viewers.
Just to choose gay people for being gay is beyond silly. They seem to want a house full of zany characters - that doesn't work. You need 'normal' people to show a different side.

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since Horgan-Wallace and co. Terrifying.
Torn about watching this year. So much of the summer gets wasted on watching banal idiots do the washing up and pick at each other, which I could do in my own home. I realised last year the main hook to watching BB is waiting for awful people to be awful to each other, which made me feel a bit rank inside. One of my greatest fears is becoming an obsessive Digital Spy nutter; I once saw someone on there write; "I prefer it when BB isn't actually on, because I can discuss it here in more depth". Terrifying.
I know I will watch, though.

Gays and the vacuous infantile ways in which the media portrays them (except if you're Lord Browne). I dunno, the news reports I read still seemed pretty appalled that a gay was allowed to serve as chief executive of a massive company. And as someone rightly pointed out in a letter to the Metro this morning (I can't believe I just said that), no one would blink at a wealthy businessman spending a fortune on hotels/meals/clothes for his wife or girlfriend, but when he's spending it on another man, suddenly it's depraved. But I digress. Gays or no gays, I'm not watching this year. I didn't watch BB6, I only watched BB7 for Aisleyne at the end, and I refuse to be sucked in this year either. This programme is vile, and will continue to be vile. |

As far as what I read stated, it wasn't so much about the bloke thing (apparently he was very out and brought his partner to many events) but about the fact he lied in court about some aspect of the relationship - possibly how he originally met the guy? |

The younger boyfriend went to the Mail On Sunday with a kiss and tell story and Lord Browne got an injunction to stop it being printed on the grounds that it was his private life.
In giving his evidence to the court for the injunction Lord Browne said that they'd met whilst out jogging rather than on a rent boy website. Lying under oath is quite a serious matter hence the big scandal.
I'm sure the Daily Hatemail would have gone after him had he been fucking a female mid twenties former hooker (or Nikki from BB7) but the GAY SEX SLEAZE aspect gave it an extra level of sordidity. Mind you, at least there weren't any reports of him pooing on Lord Browne (ho ho) like a certain Liberal Democrat MP.
I think it was Out magazine in the US did a cover with Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper on the cover with the headline The Glass Closet, with the notion that everyone knows they're gay but they choose not to recognise the fact themselves. I think Lord Browne was in the same situation - he used to take the boyfriend to company events and the like but was still relatively discreet as a man in his position can be.
David Hyde Pierce from Frasier came out with a quote along the lines of "my life is an open book but don't expect me to read from it".

I quite like that! It looks a bit test-cardy.
Maybe the little test-card girl will haunt Davina McCall like she haunted Sam Tyler. Like, every time Davina's being criminally impartial during an eviction interview, the little girl angrily dashes her blackboard at Davina's skull.
