well, im guessin from his name that he's nigerian, so speaking from experience i think its just because most nigerian parents give their children a 'british' name and like 10 other names just in case for example my full name on my passport is 'Oluadamilola Elizabeth Taiwo Orayinka', it just rolls of the tounge doesent it. I'm actually delighted that you cleared that up for me. Part of me was wondering if he choose Brian as a name before entering the house as part of his simple manchild persona.

Remember this is a face we'll all be seeing for the next 5 weeks (or until whenever Paris Hilton gets a new pink top or whatever) so it has be a good face. Judging by Chanelle's plans we'll be seeing it anyway. When in the few minutes you get to spend with your "love" in an emotional reunion you still remember to tell them "my agent wants to sign you" it doesn't bode well. Though just to clarify Ziggy she meant "my agent wants to sign US". He's essentially useless on his own and she isn't exactly doing much that doesn't involve the Daily Star who are really flogging that dead horse.

Just out of sheer curiosity, where does the name Brian come from? well, im guessin from his name that he's nigerian, so speaking from experience i think its just because most nigerian parents give their children a 'british' name and like 10 other names just in case for example my full name on my passport is 'Oluadamilola Elizabeth Taiwo Orayinka', it just rolls of the tounge doesent it. Edit: and i think he was adopted by a english family so they probaly wanted an easier name 2 spell Karma for you, both for your interesting name and the explanation of Brian's

I hope Liam does get some boos, after saying he thought he didn't deserve to get booed for "being a bit of an arse sometimes". Given a few weeks, he would reach Anthony levels of unsubstantiated arrogance. Oh wait. He's a Geordie lad. We must like him if he's a Geordie lad.
I despair with this show, and I hate that I'm still watching. I'm missing the final, though, for my parents' anniversary dinner. I am really rather pleased.

One of my colleagues today said she wanted Brian to win because he's never won anything before. Oh dear.

According to DS, Emily isn't allowed to be at the final, despite being told she would be initially. That hasn't stopped them using her on BBLB, or in retro-action on the main show etc. So it seems more of Endemol's lovely double standards are at work.
I will also be missing the final. Although I am recording it to think about watching on Sunday when i get back from a weekend away and will know who won anyway.

Did anybody see "Big Jonty" ask the twins what they would do if they had to take a blood bath with ther fellow housemates? HOW creepy?!!
Also, whatever happened to "Don't stand on the target on the floor", as Davina told us in the opening night? Did they just completely forget about it? (I can't believe I actually remember).

That hasn't stopped them using her on BBLB, or in retro-action on the main show etc. So it seems more of Endemol's lovely double standards are at work. And the ridiculous thing is, she'd only get introduced by Davina, have a quick walk along the catwalk, and sit down with the other ex-housemates. She wouldn't even get as many boos as Charley will get. It's so long ago that half the crowd would have forgotten about her anyway. Remember in BB1 when they brought out Nasty Nick at the end of the final to give Craig the prize? Couldn't they do that? Especially if Brian won, Emily could pop up and say, "Look, I'm not really a racist, I'm giving £100,000 to a black man I've never met before. See?" I could actually forgive Brian winning if that happened.

I remember it too. I also remember saying to my sister that I bet it never gets used. Isn't there always something that Davina tells us to look out for at the beginning of the series that never gets used. I think it just goes to highlight that Endemol have no idea what they are doing with the show.

And just how hi-larious was it that the oven was in the bedroom! I mean, they must have hundreds of hours of footage of the housemates complaining of it, such was the inconvenience it caused

Davina is literally presenting with her eyes shut tonight...in that ex housemates run down, she was three seconds away from:
'Listen, I really don't care about them this series so fuck off'

Well that was handy, give Jonty a quick chat so you can have a proper chat with proper housemate Carole after the break.
Will they bring Ziggy and Liam out together, provided there isn't an upset? Liam's tears might be enough to get him into the top two.

Ziggy doesn't look too happy does he? But it's ok, he's cool. He's cool that the other remaining housemates still have a chance of winning, and he doesn't. It's cool!

Well that was a crock of shit The whole series could yet be saved if they bring out "Not A Racist" Emily to present "Black" Brian with the prize. Just you wait.

Oh come on, Chanelle's face when Charley got a crowd reaction was worth the final on its own.
Not that I'm against Brian winning, in fact he was the one I wanted to win. I would have had the twins had they been one housemate from the start.

The petulant child whose only purpose was to ejaculate trite, merchandisable catchphrases won BB rather than peope who were actually entertaining. I thought he was the biggest cunt in Britain, but everyone who voted for him is offering stiff competition.

My mum said she might have liked him to win if she'd ever known what he was saying. It was only today I realised she thought he was speaking some foreign language and not thick Basildon.
I took diarrhea and missed most of it. Think I got the better deal.

I'm half wondering what the News Of The World mean when they say "Ziggy starts new BB race row!" but then I remember I couldn't give a flying squirrel.
Maybe he's said Brian only won because he's black. Which is only partly true.

Brian made it perfectly clear in his argument with Charley that he never wanted anything to do with Emily. I know he was a fake and a twonk, but he was still the winner and deserves better then to have an unrepentant racist thrusting a cheque at him.
But yes, yawn, the series that started out being "Big Sister" ended up with 3 of the top 4 places taken up by macho posturing dickheads and the other place being taken up by two pretty dim young blonde girls whose only purpose in the finale was to say how "mazin" they were. How predictable.

Emily a racist? She shouldn't have been kicked out and she's not a racist. Black people, especially rappers and such say 'nigger' all the time, she was merely using it in such a context, the problem being she's not black. One of my friends calls his asian boyfriend 'paki', as a joke, does that mean he's a racist? If the person saying these words is not trying to be racist or offensive towards someone that it means the person isn't a racist.
Charley said 'nigger' when talking about another black woman later in the show. Emily shouldn't have said it; the fact she did means she'd stupid, but not a racist.

She shouldn't have been kicked out and she's not a racist....If the person saying these words is not trying to be racist or offensive towards someone that it means the person isn't a racist......Emily shouldn't have said it; the fact she did means she'd stupid, but not a racist. From the time she spent in the house, Emily was shown to be a bitchy, arrogant, ignorant yet judgemental young woman. She used a highly inflammatory word, which left two people of different ethnic minorities shocked and taken aback. Now this doesn't mean she is BNP card carrying racist, but it doesn't mean she's a totally innocent, naive young woman who just happened to repeat a word she hears around her all the time. I have two friends studying in Bristol University at the moment, they never heard the N word used amongst their peers in random conversation. That they're both black and middle class probably isn't relevant, but Emily's excuse was piss poor, and I only wish she'd been able to explain what context she uses the word in. "Those skinny jeans make you look like one fierce nigger, Emily"?? Last year, Shahbaz called himself a paki, Grace called Aisleyne a wigga and Lisa called Richard a fucking faggot. Nothing was done as it was pre-Shilpa. That someone doesn't mind being called a paki or a nigger or a faggot, or refers to themselves as one, doesn't stop it being a hateful word that is still used to dehumanise people for being different. Big Brother made some very wrong decisions in this series but getting rid of Emily was the right one.
