Big Brother tried to gunge someone in the toilet one year (my memory says it was either Imogen or Saskia), but they jumped out of the way. I just hope it's something interesting, and not a pointless gimmick that really isn't worth the wait.

For fucks sake Rex stop going on about your tings. So annoying. I still don't like Sara either. One more "I'm mad me! Total bisesxual! Just kidding LOL! Give us a snog Darnell! I AM GOING TO YELL RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON! YARGH!" antic and I might have to break my tv. I dislike Sara already too. She's getting on my wick. She's so obviously trying to be a Shock!Twist! and is trying to be all twisty and confusing so that the housemates will be so Shock!ed and confused by all her Shock!Twist!ing and confusement... She's trying to be Thalia. And her accent is awful. I normally like an Aussie accent but she has a horrible lingering whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine to her voice. Rex does need to stop going about his tings. I don't want to hate him (honest - they are far more hateful characters in there) but he just keeps coming across as such a little cockhead. PrettyPrettyDale is right, Rex has done/owns everything. And as I said in Smudgegate, his 'cheeky chappy prankster' just comes across to me as spoilt, disrespectful dickface. And how can anyone fancy Rex when PrettyPrettyDale and Stuart are constantly walking around shirtless?

Stuart has a good body but he looks silly with the eye makeup. Dale's nice to look at, but he's also another one of those male houseguests who is perceived as being so stupid that the expectations are low and people are shocked when he does anything amusing. I also think his asking Rex questions about his life, then complaining about Rex's bragging, along with Dale being friendly with Rex and then nominating him, is the type of "fake" or "gameplaying" which his alliance would have railed against. I think Dale's playing a smart game, but I've just seen this type of man so many times before in the house, it's hard to get into that again. Maybe I'm still annoyed about Anthony all these years later.
Rex looks less like a doll than Dale or Stuart. I think Rex is a prat, but since he was cast as a prat, that means people who think he has a sexy voice or a hot body will feel better about themselves because they will feel like he wasn't cast to be one of the fit blokes, so they're not just doing what the show tells them.
They can also pat themselves on the back for "understanding" him. When he has a moment of being funny, or sincere, or vulnerable, they can feel validated for supporting him. It's a form of martyrdom. Railing against the highlights shows, against the way other people in the house treat him, because no one knows Rex the way they do.
I don't think anyone who likes Rex falls into this category (I probably like him more than most of the other people in the house right now), I just mean those who go on about him the most at some places like DS.

I think the people on Digital Spy who obsess over how wonderful Rex is are mostly doing it in the misguided belief that it will make them somehow seem superior to the "shallow" people who fancy "stupid arrogant idiotic personality-free imbecile Dale". The fact that Rex is actually an arrogant cock only makes them even more happy, cos they can claim its BB giving him a bad edit, whilst they can "see just how deep and manly he is". The problem for them is that now that Jen can no longer smother Dale into a state of lifelessness, its actually becoming pretty clear that Dale is not really that stupid, just has trouble getting his words out, is actually quite nice and hard-working, and has one of the better personalities in the house. Still, I suppose they'll just persist about droning out about his heinous and unforgivable acts during OMG!Spitgate for the next 8 weeks.
(Incidently, I don't buy the 'Dale is a Gameplayer' thing about the noms – he actually seems to get on with everyone in the house (I think he's the only one who really does), so its not like he had anyone else obvious to vote for. And that side of Rex is incredibly annoying)
Dale has worked his cute little arse off in choreographing the Irish Dancing task. I hope the highlights show actually reflects that, cos he really does deserve a decent edit.

The VTs are always more hyperbolic than what happens in the house, but the Dale who went on about "nailing fanny" and the Dale who clung to Jen and the Dale who puts on the funny chap role now that Jen is gone all seem very different. I think he's the type of player Mario and Luke want to be, in that he can adapt himself to situations and get through without being obvious. I wish Mikey could leave. I just find him uncomfortable to watch, his attitude, his relationship with Mario, everything. Isn't he one of the top picks to win? He'll probably be there until the final. Luke seems insecure about Darnell.

I think a lot of the Rex love stems from the time he "stood up to" (/picked a fight with) Alex over the electric shock task. For some reason the way he did that (smirking, arrogant, as unnecessarily rude and personal as Alex ever was) got everybody's panties wet and it's snowballed from there. And then he "stood up to" (/picked a fight with) Jen, who was also hated and it became the current state of wankpocalypse that it is.
If Mario still stays on Friday after that highlights show I will be depressed. Depressed, but not surprised.
"Oi MOYKEY -WE HIV THE SOYME COLURED OYS!!!!!!! THIT'S AMOYZING!" = hate.

"Oi MOYKEY -WE HIV THE SOYME COLURED OYS!!!!!!! THIT'S AMOYZING!" = hate. That whole incident creeped me out. She had just been trying to impress Slo Mo with the fact that Mikey fancies her, then she totally humiliated herself and Mikey by coming on to him big time when clearly she sees him as some kind of house pet. When she mentioned stockings, it was a cringeworthy moment indeed. Yeah well done, a blind guy fancies you. What's weird is that she has such an intolerably ugly voice, surely that would not be an attractive feature if you were blind? I think that Mario has just projected his own fancying of Sara on to Mikey to the extent that Mikey believes it.

Yeah, I was really uncomfortable watching Sara talk to Mikey last night. She was talking to him like he was a toddler, really patronising.

Nice to see Dale have some enthusiasm about something with his choreography.
Also, that is some rubbish Irish dancing, but given that they've only had 2 days... them not getting the moves completely is somewhat excusable. They should be able to at least be in sync though.
Mario annoyed me in failing to notice how out of sync the drummers were but as usual criticising everybody else. Luke did it too, though Mario actually said it to Lisa. Ugh.

I see the usual places are in meltdown over what happened with Bex and Luke last night, though I'm not exactly sure what went on (something underwhelming no doubt).
To be honest I bored of them now. They were a funny pairing for 5 minutes but now they're morphing into some irritating couple of the type who appear on Jeremy Kyle.

They were playing an hilarious game where Bex had to try to give Luke a hard-on whilst Luke babbled "Wubbucuh NAW!". This ended up in full snogging (AND MAYBE MORE (but probably just snogging(BUT MAYBE MORE THE SLAG!))).
Hey, ugly people need love too.

I wish it was last year again, I didn't care about any of them at all I don't think. But this lot, oh this. I would like to plunge a dagger into their cold, dead hearts!
Other than Dale and Stu, who both give me unnatural thoughts when wearing black nail varnish, and Lisa, and possibly Belinda and Madame Kat, I really just want them all to be shot. No wonder Alex wanted her "crew" to deal with them, I want her crew to deal with them now!
Mikey is just horrible and is trying to hide it behind his blindness and he invokes RAGE from within me.
Edit:
Why do I watch this?!? Three minutes is enough to turn me from a vaguely normal individual into a member of a rubbish gangster famly. Mo going on about halal meat is fucking ridiculous. Not only is it really cruel, it's also fucking uneccessary giving that he's about as muslim as Jesus fucking Christ.
Edit 2: Bex- why are you so stupid?
Edit 3: Darnell, just because you have to get Bex drunk beyond what is safe, so that she will even look at you, and when sober she doesn't, it does not mean that you have to be such a bitter arse.

Woo! Now Lisa better become the awesome Glamazon I know that she can be. Her booty shaking was a thing of beauty, as was her magnificent bath-inspired hair-do.
Apparently Mikey just called Darnell the "Emily word". Twice. It'll be interesting to see if he gets the same response as she did.

Yay! That was quite some booing. For once, though, it was pretty much deserved. Looks like Davina is going to let him off in the interview, yet again, though.
Darnell has become a total wanker in the last couple of days. I've never seen someone quite so transparently bitter and hateful just because a girl isn't interested in him. It's actually a bit scary, just like his Spitgate impression of the Hulk. Him, Mikey and Mo to go next. In that order, please.
Edit:
God, this really is a shite interview. Even by BB standards.

Davina is so useless. Why did the audience cheer when he said 'I don't have a fanclub?'. Please don't give him a false sense of popularity.

ZOMG! SHOCK TWIST!!!!!1!!!!! House to be split in two - heaven & hell - and a Head of House elected. (Didn't they do something similar in BB3, and it fell totally flat?)
Anyway, I hope its Rachel who gets the Head of House role, cos I'd like to see if she actually does spontaneously combust when forced to have an opinion on something.

I was starting to enjoy the show again, even with the 99.9999% screentime Luke hogs, thanks to the lack of gimmicks. Just plain nominations and evictions.
I hope Darnell or Luke won't get this, they'd be unbearable in an HOH role.
Do you think there's any chance Mikey could just walk since Mario's gone? I'd like to see him go and something tells me he'll end up staying until the final.

Threads on both DS and the Channel 4 forums saying that he was singing the original version of "eeny meeny miney mo" about Darnell whilst sat on the sofas.
BB4 - Ray got to be Head Of House and chose who would be up for eviction. Given as how psycho Lisa would have been up and out whoever was HOH this ended being a pretty redundant twist.
God I know too much about this shit...
Hillary Duff to be elected Head Of House please.

I'm glad Mario has gone. Quite a lot of the housemates have repetitive gimmicks, but most of them at least have some variation and progression. He's been trotting out "facilitator" and "health and safety" for 5 weeks running and he was really getting on my nerves. His interview was shit. I quite like Lisa though, and would like to see what she is like without him.
They usually have some sort of twist around this time don't they? They had keep Charley in for another week Fake Week around this time last year. I wonder if this one will be a similar anticlimax.

I've also just remembered there's that little booth that Davina showed us on opening night, all cryptic and "Ooh, I wonder what that might be used for..." Like a shower cubicle, with a glass wall and a little seat. I hope they do actually use it, and it's not like the pointless 'target on the floor' last year. I'm now wondering if this is going to be used by the "Head of House" for something. At least we don't have to put up with any more of Mario's officespeak and slogans. Plus Bex has really improved since a week ago. Apparently Mikey just called Darnell the "Emily word". Twice. It'll be interesting to see if he gets the same response as she did. I'm sure Big Brother will come up with one of the following excuses so that they don't have to kick Mikey out: 1. Darnell has white skin, so can't have taken offence. 2. The word was used in a traditional rhyme context, hence excusable. 3. The poor guy's blind.

Please God they don't let Mikey off the hook, he is one fucking weirdy creep. I couldn't watch the Mario interview I've had enough facilitating to last me the rest of my life and let's face it, all Davina's interviews are pathetic. So they are introducing a 'twist' - yawn.
