Don’t shop me now

marcus mad at sree
As we reported yesterday, Marcus and Sree had a big row while ordering this week’s shopping.

With Charlie frenziedly writing the order down as items were shouted out, Marcus was ‘supervising’ the whole affair and couldn’t resist having a dig at Sree about his much touted maths skills – which weren’t much in evidence – when he was adding up the total.

Sree didn’t say anything but then, he tried to grab the book containing all the lists saying, “I need to get myself some things”

“You’re not taking the thing while we’re all looking at it” Marcus snapped.

“It’s everybody’s property. It’s not your duty, okay” Sree snapped back while snatching the book… Read more & comment »

Sickly Sree

sree,charlie
It seems that Sree’s causing trouble again, without even trying to. Yesterday, he was fooling around by the pool and he decided to jump on Charlie for no obvious reason and Charlie wasn’t impressed.

“Sree, gerroff us! You dirty, little tramp!” Charlie shouted.

“What did you say?” asked Sree.

“You dirty, little tramp” repeated Charlie. “You’re a tramp. Someone who’s dirty.”

Wiping at his mouth, Charlie added: “You taste of chlorine.”

“I taste of Noirin? Why?” said an apparently hard of hearing Sree… Read more & comment »

And verrily, Halfwit says unto you, Marcus is hopping mad

halfwit and the shopping list
Doing the shopping list has rarely been a time for harmony and peace in the house, but this year – so far – it’d all gone pretty smoothly. Too smoothly possibly and today, things erupted shopping list styly, big time, as many of the housemates might say, like.

No details of what caused the row are available yet but we do know that Marcus got so riled up that BB had to call him into the diary room to calm down, and quelle surprise, it seems Sree was involved somewhere.

And while Marcus was off on his enforced calm down, Halfwit decided to analyse his actions…

“Marcus is not generally an aggressive person, but he does have this very strong view that there are good people and bad people in the world.”

And by the sounds of it, some bad people were trying to shop… Read more & comment »

Sree’s on thin ice… again

sree, noirin in the bedroom

Last night, Marcus apparently overheard Sree and Lisa talking about Noirin, and it seems that the pair had been speculating that Noirin was “using” Sree and of course, it’s all about the gameplan – yawn – and Marcus told Noirin all about it this morning.

However, Sree, not knowing that Marcus had overheard his talk with the ever sympathetic/brown nosing Lisa, was in a chipper mood this morning and wanted to borrow some sunglasses from Noirin. He had no clue that she was seething…

“I just heard something you said about me last night” hissed Noirin when Sree continued to pester her about the sunglasses.

“If you’re hurt, I’m here. Come on” he said, apparently trying to be charming. It didn’t work and with a dangerous disregard for his teeth, he said, “You’re so paranoid.”

I’m so paranoid?” hissed a furious Noirin.

“Darling, come on sweetheart, come on. I know I’m just winding you up, but I didn’t say anything – I swear to god” he said, trying to get back on her good side, if she has one where he’s concerned… Read more & comment »

Viva Italia! They’ve passed the shopping task!

sree
The housemates should’ve been very happy bunnies last night when they learned that despite some of the housemates failing their individual tasks, the group overall passed and will therefore have a luxury shopping budget this week.

However, it seems that the heat and the lack of cigs is telling on the group and Rodrigo last night launched into Charlie after he apparently went a bit too far with a food fight.

And the house is firmly split into two camps as of last night with half of them backing Sree to stay and the other half expressing their support for Halfwit… Read more & comment »

Marcus and Noirin celebrate passing their task

marcus, noirin
Marcus and Noirin have passed their part of this week’s Italian themed shopping task.

The delighted housemates were told that the results of their efforts at producing Italian artwork had been judged by an independent art critic as being better than those of a six year old child whose painting was compared to theirs.

As all the housemates waited nervously for the result, Siavash joked, “You don’t look very confident” while Noirin admitted that she felt nervous, adding, “Why do I feel nervous?”

The plasma screen then came on and showed the judge in the task room as he viewed Marcus and Noirin’s efforts alongside the child’s painting. Read more & comment »

Is Sree’s time up? Bookies believe so!

sree

Bookies across the land are predicting that Sree will be evicted on Friday.

Irish bookies Paddy Power are offering odds of 1/50 on Sree staying and 10/1 on Halfwit remaining in the house after Friday’s eviction show.

A spokesman for Paddy Power reckons that it’s Sree’s whining that’s put us all off him and he added that he’s “absolutely certain” that Sree will be voted off the show this week… Read more & comment »

Simon Cowell’s ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour has been talking to the Press Association about the terrifying attack on her that took place outside the studios where American Idol was being filmed.

It seems that a “crazed fan”, Janice Thibodeaux, launched herself at Terri and tried to strangle her, apparently in retaliation for Terri playfully pretending to throttle judge Paula Abdul a week prior to the attack. Read more & comment »

Model Jordan – or Katie Price, whichever she’s calling herself these days – is to “spill the beans” about her separation from her singer husband Peter Andre in an interview with Piers Morgan.

It will be the second time she’s been interviewed for TV by Morgan and in their first interview, Price spoke of the sexual abuse she suffered as a child.

The new “no holds barred” show will air on 11th July and will feature the model apparently trying to rebuild her TV persona in the wake of several allegations of infidelity and bitchiness that have surrounded the famous couple’s high profile split. Read more & comment »

He told the paper, “I’m doing some screen tests now but the plan is to have a regular slot on a racing show.

The housemates are out of cigs… RUN!!

lisa needs a fag
Karly and Lisa are out of tobacco, and their nicotine withdrawals are showing…

In the garden yesterday, with Lisa chewing gum in a frenzied fashion and Karly pacing like a caged tiger, the two contemplated rummaging through the bins for any sign of an unsmoked ciggy, but their conversation soon turned mutinous as Lisa ranted that other houemates had exchanged tokens for booze so she reckoned she and Karly should do the same for tobacco… Read more & comment »

Now it’s Karly’s turn

karly and halfwit row

Following on from Lisa and Halfwit’s row yesterday, Karly added her opinion to the debacle when Halfwit rather unwisely asked her what she thought about it all…

He asked her to explain what she thinks is the difference between a good gameplan and a bad gameplan. If I’d been there, I’d have said to him, “Havers mon, are ye touched in the heed?!” because he’s already riled Karly up earlier in the day during their singing practice.

Anyway, he said, “The bad gameplans are the ones which are designed to make certain people look bad and make people fight amongst themselves.

“Dude, if I had a gameplan like that, do you think I’d be up for eviction four weeks in a row?” Read more & comment »

Halfwit & Lisa have yet another gameplan row

lisa row with halfwit

Just as everything seemed quiet on the Western front – or Italian front – Lisa overheard Halfwit telling Charlie that he didn’t think she liked him much, and she doesn’t it seems.

“There are elements of this that are just nasty” Halfwit said to Charlie, to which he replied, “I don’t see nastiness from the people in here. No one doesn’t like you” he added, somewhat insincerely since he knows his best buddy Kris wouldn’t pee on Halfwit if he was on fire.

“I don’t think Lisa likes me” said Halfwit as Lisa walked up behind him.

“I don’t think you like me, Freddie” she said, hackles rising nicely and fake facial hair a’wobbling.

“I dislike you scheming against me and bitching behind my back” said Halfwit, taking his life in his hands… Read more & comment »
