Sara McLean finished in fourth place on tonight’s Big brother final and she shed some light on her time in the house in her following exit interview.
Speaking to Brian Dowling, the Scottish beauty admitted that she was elated to have made it to the last night and raved:
‘I am so happy, thank you everyone that has voted for me, thank you so much. I didn’t think I would even get here and they’re all cool.’
On who she thinks will win later this evening and scoop the £50,000 prize money, she predicted:
‘I’d probably say Luke A.’

It’s been reported today that Labour MP Keith Vaz, who’s chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, has called for MPs to debate allegations of bullying and racist remarks allegedly made in this series of Big Brother.
Mr Vaz’s action was prompted following the latest hoohar in which Shievonne apparently accused Deana of “playing the race card” to get sympathy from her fellow housemates.
In addition, he urged TV watchdog Ofcom to “swiftly investigate” whether Channel 5 broke broadcasting rules by airing heated exchanges between housemates, and for broadcasting what some have deemed to be offensive words and/or actions.
For instance, everyone of course knows that viewers have complained about Conor’s rant over Deana, so we don’t need to go there again. They’ve also complained that Caroline called Adam “a ridiculous gorilla” and days later, said of him, “Look at him, like Martin Luther King, preaching to his people…” Read more & comment »

So, another Friday night, another Big Brother eviction, and this week saw the turn of Aaron Lowe!
Aaron was evicted after the public chose to save Deana and Becky over him and Connor, and left the house in a tantrum, met by a very loudly booing crowd!

I am absolutely gutted that Arron Lowe left the Big Brother house last night, because there’s about 99% of the show’s drama gone right there…
And I’m even more annoyed that I suspect it was Conor McIntyre’s “haters” who brought it about.
BB’s official website and dozens of other online forums – including social networking sites – were bombarded with people making pleas to get Conor out – by voting to save Becky and Deana - over his now infamous Deana rant, and in doing so, they’ve ensured that Deana and Becky not only stayed in, but were top two in the Vote to Save.
Now, I have to stress, while I have nothing against either Deana or Becky, I fail to see how either lady is even remotely entertaining in any situation other than when they were involved in a row with Arron… Read more & comment »

Arron Lowe is gutted that he was evicted from Big Brother this evening and even more gutted that he was sent home before Deana Uppal.
The 23 year old wannabe was up against the Indian beauty queen, along with Becky Hannon and Conor McIntyre after being nominated earlier this week and tonight received the lowest amount of public votes and was kicked off the reality TV show.
Speaking afterwards to presenter Brian Dowling the mixed martial arts fighter blasted Deana, admitting that he was shocked she survived. When asked why he was surprised, he explained:

Arron Lowe has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
Earlier this evening, Brian Dowling announced that Deana Uppal and Becky Hannon had been saved by the public, after being placed up for eviction by their fellow housemates, leaving Conor McIntyre and Arron Lowe waiting to hear their fate.
Bosses made us hang about for a full hour before we discovered which man was going home but we have to admit, it was no big surprise when the presenter revealed that Lowe had spent his last night in the BB house.

It’s Big Brother eviction night this evening, but tonight there was a little bit of a twist.
Deana Uppal, Becky Hannon, Conor McIntyre and Arron Lowe all faced the public vote this week and all were convinced they would be leaving during tonight’s live show. The four hopefuls have fought and rowed for the last few days and last night Arron got an official warning in the diary room, over his threatening and aggressive behaviour towards the ladies.

Right now in the Big Brother house, exactly as I predicted – click here to see my article about the BB Task Team having worked out the tasks this year with aplomb – the Turf Wars task has caused best friends to turn on each other…
And more specifically, they’ve turned on Arron who, as we reported earlier, broke the task rules last night by jumping into the pool which was, by then, Blue Team turf.
This morning, all hell has broken loose after Big Brother announced that as punishment, the Green Team have lost their rights to the kitchen and the bathroom – both of which are now no go areas for any of the housemates – and BB has taken away all the Green Team’s luxury food. This means that they are now on basic rations… Read more & comment »

Yesterday saw the Big Brother Blue Team claw back some house territory – not to mention dignity following their recent ignominious defeats in the Turf Wars task – by winning the Bail Out challenge…
In a nutshell, each team voted two of their members to take on the challenge, which, in a best-of-three test, saw them scrambling into a boat that had two holes in the bottom. The team whose boat tipped over or sank first lost rights to the garden, and as mentioned, the Blue Team triumphed.
So the Green Team are now banned from the garden, the pool and the Jacuzzi, and can only use the perimeter walkway for getting to and from bedrooms and the bathroom… Read more & comment »

As our lovely Lisa reported yesterday, a big row broke out between Arron, Becky, Deana and Conor – one of whom will of course be leaving tonight – after they were all called to the Diary Room to take part in a Q&A session of questions posed by Bit on the Side viewers…
At the time the tears and rows broke out following the Diary Room visit, it wasn’t clear what had prompted the tension, however, BB have now released a clip of the foursome’s visit to the Diary Room, which you can see by clicking here.
But in brief, the general gist of the row was that Arron and Conor – who the BB asking the questions pointed out weren’t “gentlemen” as they snagged the chair, forcing Becky and Deana to sit on the floor – had no issue criticizing Deana and Becky as they answered the viewers questions.
For instance, when Arron was asked, “Who’s most bitchy in the house?” he replied that both Deana and Becky were, and as Becky and Deana faced forward, the lads made frequent and often rude gestures with their hands… Read more & comment »
