Big Brother: Duck Kat!

Kat was in the firing line of Darnell’s paranoia, Rex’s bullishness and Nicole’s misplaced sensitivity.  Darnell’s immature attitude to Kat ‘choosing’ to sit next to Sarah, once more showed just how easily twisting things to his own world view comes to him.  If all he says is true, it’s no wonder he has relationship issues.  Without meaning any offence to him, Darnell needs to learn that not everything in the world is black or white.

 

Mo’s jail sentence probably helped him have a calmer day – which he really needed.  Unless, of course, he took all of his frustration out on the tasty caterpillars, which were never seen again after he said he would be playing with them.  With Mo’s previous track record, playing with his food was not a great surprise.  Mmmm, more green slimy snacks.

 

So what was Rex thinking when he was so tenderly cradling Nicole’s abandoned clothes?

 

Will I get booed?

Will I have a girlfriend when I get out?

Will I have a chance of winning now I know that I’m connected to the most booed person?

How will I be perceived, having said that it was funny that Nicole got booed?

 

One thing’s for sure, as proven over and over again, there’s little chance he would be thinking ‘How does Nicole feel?’.

 

tellyjelly is probably missing Darnell’s philosophical musings about life, the universe and everything (well relationships and burgers anyway)

Big Brother: Nicole..Tata

94% of the public…yes 94% of them, that’s the proportion of the viewing population who would have voted to evict Davina’s weirdest outfit yet if they had got the chance.  I’m really not sure what look she was going for, but whatever it was it didn’t work – painting smock black maybe?

 

Oh and Nicole got evicted – what a surprise.  With the highest percentage of votes ever cast against a housemate (94%!) she will probably need to take heed of all of the motherly advice that Davina can give her, having told her over and over again that she had a lot to learn and that it was probably her behaviour towards Mikey which sealed her fate – behaviour which Nicole didn’t seem to even recognise.

 

As predicted, Mo continued his explosive descent and to consolidate the validity of his nickname, squirreled cider away, leading to the inevitable confrontation with Rex and Nicole.  In the midst of which, housemates didn’t even get to see the ecstatic Darnell’s hamburger greed, as also animal-like he scurried off to a den to sweet talk his prey into submission, relishing every passionate moment.

 

If the crowd’s reaction is anything to go by, man-hopping Sarah will probably be there in the final.  That won’t please Darnell and co., whose character assassinating discussion will be difficult for Sarah to watch when she comes out.  Her reaction to Darnell’s attitude to her seemed genuine, as did Darnell’s head in the sand approach to avoiding the real problem he has, dealing with his perceived rejection.

Big Brother: Shocker!

A truly terrifying Big Brother episode last night, full of smiles and expressions of happiness – whilst Kat was almost at her lowest, having been jailed yet again for talking about nominations.

 

It seems that the Thriller task was a winner with the housemates, although for viewers it once again gave proof that this really is the Rex and Nicole show now – as the editing showed us very very little of Nicole’s backing dancers.  Yes I know, as one of the housemates said (probably Rex in defensive mode), the original video would have focused on Michael Jackson, but surely BB’s camera(presumably)men or editors could have shown us the out-of-time, unsynchronised, but effort-full moves of the others.

 

Although at times he is right to complain, Mo’s fuse is unfortunately now stuck at the length of an ant’s leg and with both Rex and Darnell able to light it with next to no effort or thought, it may be a tough run over the next week for Mo.

 

Further shocking revelations of course from Lisa, who thought she was so good at being a zombie that she may have been one in a past life – shouldn’t that be a past death Lisa?

 

Will it be bye bye Nicole on Friday?  That seems as certain as Rex not following her up the stairs.  I can’t help but wonder how much ground Rex would make up, with both Nicole and the public, if he did follow her out – now that would be shocking!

 

tellyjelly has probably voted the buttons bare

Big Brother: Dawn of the Dead

Awoken to the strains of Michael Jackson’s foray into the world of the horror, housemates proved a point which has been staring us all in the face for weeks – yes, they are zombies, under the demonic control of that evil necromancer Big Brother.  None more so than scary Lisa, whose uncanny undead dancing went perfectly with her blank stare and chilling laugh.  Thrilling!

 

As for the task, under the caring and thoughtful guidance of Rex it was a guaranteed success and with Mo, ‘the best dancer’ in the house, putting in so much effort, how could the lost souls possibly lose?  Of course, it’s not a problem if they do – zombies have no need of a luxury shopping budget, they only eat brains – ah that may be a problem, since there’s few of those evident in the house and the prize one has already been eaten.  On that matter, did they ever get the Wizard of Oz connection?

 

After the nominations were announced, can you imagine what Nicole and Rex would be like if they didn’t have the task to do and the effort of being insensitive to Mikey’s needs to keep them busy?

 

tellyjelly is getting some culture

Big Brother Nominations: Lisa, Nicole and Sara

The Cookie Love mafia keep their stranglehold on the final weeks secure with this round of nominations and it looks a cert that Nicole will be separated from Rex for at least a week. I thought she might have avoided eviction by virtue of being his Girlfriend - that is, that his pals would avoid voting for her - but good old Darnell, Rachel and Mo didn't let the country's population down. Speaking of Mo, can't help wondering what else he has in store for us after eating Mikey's bogie. Perhaps he's accepted a top secret mission to make us all vomit in unison.

Big Brother: Rex and Nicole again

We've all heard of the saying 'fiddling while Rome's burning' - well Rex has taken this to a new level: playing musical chairs while your beloved is crying in the diary room. Last night's show evoked many emotions including more sympathy for Nicole at the end when she couldn't find her ginger paramour. We should also remember that she doesn't have a game plan (for some reason this is seen as a good thing in BB circles) as despite having seen the show and knowing what the viewers think etc, she does and says what ever she feels like doing and saying. She refuses to be restricted by populist sentiment - or, she hasn't really got the hang of it. Saying all that, with a bit of luck she should be up for nomination and eviction this week.

Lisa's Tip of the Day: avoid touching velvet with wrinkly fingers. It feels horrible.

Big Brother's New Head of House: Rex

So Rex the Ginger One with Many Restaurants is the new head of house and is safe from nominations with his (very long) week of immunity - unless he breaks the rules and is deposed like poor Stuart. Is it possible that the viewers could be that lucky?

Nicole continues to be upset, bored, miserable and is often mean to the other housemates, and it turns out she is worried about being booed. I don't blame her really, but I think she should be more worried about her long term future and what the grandchildren might say about their stint on BB9 in 30 years time. Yes, I'm afraid it looks like these two will be together for ever, forever tormenting each other.
