Big Brother House

Alex Reid’s Punchbag with Numbers

Remember painting by numbers? Here’s your chance to punch by numbers, too.

Alex Reid was given a special task to “kick the shit” out of the group’s snowman, which he duly did, and was rewarded with an hour’s alone time with a punch bag in the task room. It was quite a cool looking free standing fitness bag with numbers all around it which you use to measure your hitzone accuracy. Alex Reid certainly didn’t waste the opportunity and when he left the task room, he had built up an incredible sweat after an hour’s full on pounding.

Would you like to work up a similar sweat with a free standing punch bag? This T-Sport 6ft bag below has those cool numbered hit zones on it and it is easy to set up, just fill with water or sand - depending on how heavy/dense you want your “opponent” to be.

This one costs £214.99 from ActivInstinct and there’s also a junior version (4”4′ tall) for the younger ultimate fighters out there.

Gentlemen’s Ballscratcher

One of the early items that caught my eye in the Big Brother house was the “Gentlemen’s Ballscratcher”. Whether this is something that celebrities use in their every day lives - some might say that Dane and Alex have used the same one before - I don’t honestly know. It’s nine inches long, comes in an attractive display box and has a small hand at what I imagine to be the scratching end.

Available now from Play.com for £7.99 inc free delivery.

What do you think of Big Brother 10?

I wasn’t sure I was going to post anything to the site this year, but I thought I would just get a couple of things off my chest abotu this year’s Big Brother.

Firstly, WHERE’S THE FEED? Come on, Big Brother without the live feed during the day? What’s all this about? What are they thinking?

And why have they ruined the eviction interview by making it a cross between “The Apprentice: You’re Fired” and Question Time? It’s too analytical, too confrontational and too much of a downer after the excitement of the eviction. They’ve really messed that up.

And why have they ruined BBBM? That was once a hilarious look at what was happening in the house, and now it’s a once a week angry Jeremy Kyle type affair? Come on, bring some of the joy and humour back.

Here’s my thoughts on some of the housemates….

Wolfman - Either a complete twit or actually quite funny, but ultra deadpan and dry about it. Undecided.

Sree - Harmless but annoying.

Halfwit - Oh god, he speaks and I cringe. The reason why mute buttons were invented.

Rodrigo - Cute as a button and in awe of the Queen.

Sophie - “Piece of meat” but lovely. Is it a showmance with Kris?

Karly - Hmm seen her moan once about something, that’s all.

Nourin - Stunning and at least quite sensitive with silly Sree’s clumsy declarations of love.

Charlie - Seems pleasant enough!

Angel - Initially scared me, but warming to her.

What do you think of them so far? And what do you think of the programmes this year?

Update - Up next is topless model Lucy Pinder who describes herself as a bit of a “tory bird”.

Update - Reality show veteran Michelle Heaton is next.

Update - Ulrika Johnson enters to a chorus of boos. The second of Sven Goran Ericsson’s girlfriends to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

Stuart Dives Off Stage Into Crowd

Stuart has managed to keep up quite a cool persona in the house, and then blew it within a few seconds of leaving by diving into the crowd, only for them to move out the way and let him land on the floor.

Kat Dancing!

OMG, this is one of the funniest bits of Big Brother this year, second only perhaps to Mikey eating a scotch bonnet chilli!

Dale Evicted from Big Brother House

Dale was evicted last night from the Big Brother House. It was a straight choice between the student PE teacher, and Stuart, the whining Manc. Personally I thought Stu was a certainty to go. He brings nothing to the house, pretended he wanted to go when really he wanted to stay and basically wouldn’t be missed.

At the end of Dale’s interview with Davina, he was reunited in a not-at-all-cynical move with Jen, he object of his desires in the house.

Rex and Belinda Up For Eviction

Rex and Belinda will face the public vote after this week’s bout of nominations. Rex seems to be on a mission to be rude about as many people as possible, and if he wanted to be nominated, he seems to have succeeded. Belinda’s intrusive questioning, snoring and jazz hands performances haven’t gone down well with the other housemates either.

I’d say it was fairly certain that Belinda will go. Looking at the forums, Rex has a solid fanbase, so it looks like its bye bye bye, Belinda Belinda Belinda.

Rex Wears aussieBum Underwear

I saw some pictures the other day that saw Rex wearing some underwear by aussieBum. aussieBum is the trendy, Australian brand that is particularly popular with the gay community, and metrosexual males. Their funky, outlandish and figure-hugging designs have garnered fans all over the world.
