Big Brother Archives

The daddy of reality television shows, Big Brother is still as popular in the UK today as when it first launched.

Dale Is Evicted From The Big Brother House

Not exactly shocking, but tonight Dale will be evicted from the Big Brother house. Dale faced tough competition as he found himself up against Sexy Stuart this week, and thankfully the British public seem to like some intelligence with their good looking men.

So it’s goodbye Dale…..I can’t wait to hear his exit interview. Will he rubbish his ex-housemates, will he have a romantic reunion with Jennifer? I wonder if the pair will score more money than Rebecca and Luke for their first magazine deal?

Davina McCall For Strictly Come Dancing 2008?

The Daily Star has reported that Big Brother presenter, Davina McCall is on the brink of signing up for this years Strictly Come Dancing series.

An insider told the newspaper: “Davina’s very keen to take part and we’d love to have her.

“Big Brother will be over by the time we are up and running so her diary is clear. It would be a major coup to get her.”

The newspaper also claims that Katie Price, her husband Peter Andre, rugby star Mike Tindall and royal Zara Phillips have also been asked to take part.

Big Brother Task: Superstitions

Today is the 8th of the 8th 2008, the luckiest date in the Chinese Calendar. However, it’s not lucky for everyone, because today either Dale or Stuart will leave the Big Brother house.

So today Big Brother is going to test bad luck superstitions to see if they are true, or in fact just mumbo jumbo.

This test will take the form of an obstacle course. Each obstacle will be a physical representation of various bad luck superstitions, and Stuart and Dale must complete the course as many times as possible in a 30 minute period. The housemate who completes the most circuits should, according to superstition, have created more bad luck for themselves and therefore, if the concept of superstition is correct, they should be evicted tonight.

If the winner is not evicted, Big Brother will therefore have proved categorically that superstitions are nothing more than mumbo jumbo.

The course will test the following superstitions: Continue reading ‘Big Brother Task: Superstitions‘ »

Shilpa Shetty To Host Indian Big Brother

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, Shilpa Shetty, has landed the role of presenter on an Indian version of the show.

Shilpa left the UK show amidst a row over alleged racist behaviour towards her. The show even had to take a year out in 2008 to recover from the scandal. However all this has not stopped Shetty from getting involved with Indian ‘Big Boss’ in which celebrities and normals Joes live together.

The actress told Reuters: “When I heard the concept, and the fact that I only needed to come in for one elimination round every week, I said OK. Plus they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” Continue reading ‘Shilpa Shetty To Host Indian Big Brother‘ »

Big Brother 2008: Rex Newmark……. Model?

Big Brother housemate, Rex Newmark, plans to give up his job as a chef to pursue a career as a top model according to The Sun.

Rex apparently paid a large amount of money to get a professional portfolio done which he intends to punt around modelling agencies when he leaves the BB house.

A pal of the 24-year-old told The Sun: “Rex had the pictures taken in March, before he went in the house. But he wants to wait until he’s off the show before showing them to any agencies.

“He’s really thrilled with them — and thinks he looks amazing.

“He found a professional photographer and went to his studio in East London with all his favourite clothes for a two-hour session.

“He told me he was a bit nervous at first but he really got into posing.”

The source added: “Clothes are one of his all-time passions. He wouldn’t be seen dead in anything that wasn’t fashionable. Versace and Hugo Boss are among his favourite labels. Continue reading ‘Big Brother 2008: Rex Newmark……. Model?‘ »

Big Brother: Dale & Stuart Up For Eviction!

Oh no!!! The only two decent looking men in this years Big Brother are up for eviction this week!

Dishy Dale received three nominations from his fellow housemates and Sexy Stuart received four.

The reason behind this nomination shocker is that three of the housemates were not allowed to nominate this week and two were immune from eviction. Darnell was not allowed to nominate as punishment for crossing the divide between heaven and hell. And housemates from hell Kathreya and Mikey were not permitted to nominate after failing to eat 300 brussels sprouts, while fellow housemate from hell Nicole was immune from nomination and banned from nominating having only entered the house on Friday. Head of House Rachel was also immune from being nominated. Continue reading ‘Big Brother: Dale & Stuart Up For Eviction!‘ »

BIG BROTHER SHOPPING TASK: NO STRINGS ATTACHED

For this week’s Big Brother shopping task, all housemates will learn about the world of Puppet Theatre.
Heavenly housemates will learn to perform a spectacular theatrical sequence in the style of contemporary Japanese Bunraku. The sequence is that of a fantastical Table Tennis Match, where the characters can fly and stop the ball in mid air.

Bunraku is a form of Japanese puppetry that uses puppeteers dressed in black, ‘invisibly’ manipulating objects and people whilst standing against a black background. In order to pass their part of the shopping task, heavenly housemates must practice and perform to Big Brother’s satisfaction. Continue reading ‘BIG BROTHER SHOPPING TASK: NO STRINGS ATTACHED‘ »

Big Brother: Darnell Swallow Has Never Had A Girlfriend

He told Kat and Rachel last night that he was scared he would never find real love with a woman.

He said: “I’ve never had a girlfriend before, that’s real.”

Kathreya tried to reasure him that he would find a girl when he leaves the BB house, but he replied:

“I’ve never had a girlfriend in my life why would I get one soon?”

“Neither has Mo,” replies Kat. Continue reading ‘Big Brother: Darnell Swallow Has Never Had A Girlfriend‘ »

Big Brother: Darnell Swallow Huffs As Sara Cosies Up To Stuart

Poor Darnell got in a right strop last night as Aussie beauty Sara left his bed to cosy up with hunky Stuart.

Sara spent the night flirting with Darnell and at one point he pinned her to the ground and tickled her as she was skimpily dressed in a t-shirt and a thong. But when Stuart came and lay in the bed next to the pair, the temptation was too much for Sara and she climbed under his blankets.

Darnell then stormed out and ranted to Rex that he had been “made a fool of in front of millions”.

He told them: “To get out of bed with one guy and say some s*** and then get into bed with another, do you know what that’s like dude?” Continue reading ‘Big Brother: Darnell Swallow Huffs As Sara Cosies Up To Stuart‘ »

Big Brother: Shabaz Chauhdry To Sue Endemol

Former Big Brother housemate, Shabaz Chauhdry is to sue the company behind Big Brother and blame them for his mental breakdown.

He said: “I take responsibility for going to the auditions. But I do not accept responsibility for the ghastly aftermath. Big Brother took away two years of my life and I want Endemol to accept responsibility.”

Talking of his life since leaving the TV show, he said: “I’ve had no work for a year, doors have been closed and I’m still on antidepressants and living on benefits. I wasn’t made fully aware of the potential pitfalls beforehand - and I know the others weren’t either.”

“I suffered in that house,” he told The People. “I asked to leave and they said ‘No’. I was under pressure but they didn’t step in to help. They don’t care if you’re suffering as long as you have a personality and can help them boost ratings and callers to prime-rate phone numbers.” Continue reading ‘Big Brother: Shabaz Chauhdry To Sue Endemol‘ »
