Big Brother House

Mikey’s Standup Routine

The housemates had a talent show, and after the cringe fest that was Mario and Lisa’s routine, we had Mikey doing a standup routine which was like a slow motion car crash. If you can bear to watch it without putting your head in your hands and looking through the gaps of your fingers, you’re braver than me. The reactions of Dale, Rex, Jen and Rachel are priceless.

The Love Square

So in the beginning it was Dale and Jen. They had some kind of chemistry and apparently he went “wow” whens he came in. The Stuart, the campest housemate ever, came in, and Jen didn’t say “wow” but her eyes certainly did. Then Sylvia pounced on Stu, got in the bath with him, wanted to share the bed, and make it pretty clear she fancied him.

Eventually, Stu worked out that Sylvia liked him but told her he didn’t think like that. Sylvia went for a cry and Dale was there to comfort her. Whilst that was happening, Jen and Stu were on the sofa, both agreeing that neither of them wanted a relationship in the house, but there was some lingering looks between them.

Then Dale and Jen had a chat and Jen explained why Stu was her perfect guy, but she would make do with Dale.

Hmm… so how will this love square all pan out? i think in the end, Stu and Jen may end up together. What do you think? Who’s being genuine? And has anyone actually asked Stu if he is gay? (yes, I know he has a daughter but even so…)

Joseph Joseph Big Block Orange

Not content with having the rather smart Index Chopping Board system, the Big Brother housemates also have this very funky “Big Block” chopping board from Joseph Joseph. It’s distinctive colour can often be seen on the central island in the BB kitchen. This ulta high density block is one of the toughest chopping boards you can buy.. anywhere!

At the time of writing, the Joseph Joseph ‘Big Block’ Orange costs £24.97 from Amazon.co.uk

Chairs at the Dinner Table

Have you spotted those cool chairs that the housemates sit on at the dinner table, when they have what seems like their daily meeting to discuss whatever issue is getting to them? They are from the New York range at Furniture Village and are available in Red, White, Orange, Blue, Green, Fuscia and Black.  They cost £324 for a pair.

Sylvia and Stuart

Wow, Sylvia did not waste any time at all. It seems like just a day ago that she was taking huge offence at Mohamed because she has a boyfriend, and now she’s jumping into a bath with some guy and then clambering all over him in bed! Ok, we get that they know each other from the audition process, but do they *know* each other…?

Stuart Enters The Big Brother House

A new housemate was thrown into the mix last night, to replace the ejected Alex, although since Alex would have gone anyway, I’m not sure that she actually needed replacing. The new housemate’s name is Stuart, and he is a 25 year old property developer. He comes across as some vain type, wearing mascara I think, who gives himself a 9/10 for looks.

After going into the house, the girls looked particularly taken by him with Jennifer having a huge smile on her face and Sylvia being keen to show him around the house. I think some of the guys - Dale, in particular - looked just a teeny bit threatened. This should be fun…

Alex Removed From Big Brother House

Wow, Alex has been removed from the Big Brother House. Digital Spy has all the news, including a quite chilling transcript of what Alex apparently said. In text, it sounds awful, but I have no idea how she was when she said it.

It was only a matter of time, I guess. Whatever possessed them to think Alex would be a good housemate? The funny thing is, on the launch night most of them got booed but I think Alex was the only where the crowd actually shouted “Out! Out! Out! before she was even in. I thought it was a bit rough at the time, but it turns out it was a very good snap judgement.

What do you think? Are you glad to see the back of Alex?

Alex and Mario Up For Eviction

This week’s nominations have been announced, and Alex got a stonking - although not altogether suprising - NINE nominations from her fellow housemates, including one from Sylvia who spend the first week firm in her shadow.

In any other week, I think Mario may have found himself in trouble, but surely, up against Alex, Mario is home and dry. What do you think?

Sylvia Wakes Up To Alex

Sylvia seemed to have some kind of lightbulb moment yesterday when she realised that Alex wasn’t the best person to be associating herself with. Actually Alex has calmed down quite a lot and is nothing like as bad as last week, but when she got up at the table to say she always said it to someone’s face if they had a problem, Sylvia couldn’t believe her hears. She went to the diary room to say that Alexandra blatantly bitches about everyone.

Sylvia actually comes across as a nice girl and quite fun, so hopefully we can see a different side to her if she isn’t in Alex’s shadow.

Darnell Rapping

Check this funny video of Darnell rapping to the group. It’s actually pretty funny, and I think he’s pretty pleased with it too judging by his reaction!
