Former Big Brother’s Little Brother host, Dermot O’Leary has revealed that he stilll enjoys watching Big Brother on Channel 4 and thinks BB9 is a great series.

Dermot left the show last year after landing the rold of X Factor presenter in 2007.

“I have followed BB this year,” Dermot told We Love Telly magazine. “I think from week two we’ve all had a good idea of who’s going to get to the final. All that show needs is a couple of panto villains and a couple of heroes and it’s on to a winner – and that’s what it’s had.” Read more & comment »

For today’s Big Brother mini task housemates will be required to describe and identify each other’s distinctive personality traits.

Big Brother will provide housemates with an individual personality trait card. When instructed to do so by Big Brother, housemates will have 30 minutes to write down three words that they feel best describe each of their fellow housemates. The words should identify defining attributes of each housemate and reflect how that housemate’s character and personality comes across to them.

One word must reflect a positive trait.

One word must reflect a negative trait. Read more & comment »

Lisa Appleton has been evicted from the Big Brother house and what I want to know is what bloody took the public so long? I wanted this woman out the week after Mario left and I have been subjected to her annoying voice and two faced behaviour for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks!!!

So are you glad to see the back of Lisa the body builder, or were you a Mario and Lisa fan?

Let us know below

Big Brother presenter, Davina McCall has admitted that she thinks some of the Big Brother realtionships are fake, but adds that she is sure that Luke and Bex are for real.

Davina told The Sun that she “definitely thought that some BB relationships were formed just for the publicity.

“The cynic in me could think, ‘Oh look, they’re in all the magazines now together’.”

But Davina is adamant that BB9 couple Luke and Rebecca are for real.

She said: “I kind of love Bex and Luke, because they would never look at each other and think, ‘We’re going to get together just for that reason’. Read more & comment »

DAY 2 Read more & comment »

Today, Big Brother has woken up in a good mood and decided to treat the housemates to a lovely hot breakfast.

Throughout the day each housemate will receive a special individual gift to enjoy.

At 12.20, Mario will be appearing on a heart shaped plinth in the garden to propose to Lisa. He will not be able to touch her or speak to her, but will do his proposal using cue cards. This can be seen live today on BBLB (Channel 4 – 12pm, E4 – 6pm).

Then, tonight, if all goes well and Lisa accepts Mario’s proposal, the housemates and Lisa will be treated to a very special engagement party.

This won’t be a long winded post predicting the downfall of the Big Brother format. It’s too late at night and I just can’t be bothered.

Now normally I am a bit of a night owl, I can sit up all night watching TV, and if I have a new boxset on the go it wouldn’t be unlike me to be perched in front of the box with matchsticks propping up my eyes.

But this summer I have difficulty staying awake past 11pm, and I place the blame firmly at the door of Big Brother. I am so bored by Mohamed’s gluttony and Kathreya’s crying. The ‘dynamic’ between Rex and Nicole was frankly disappointing and Darnell’s on off romance with Sara is a poor excuse for a love story. Read more & comment »

Big Brother housemates have to prove their stamina when it comes to eating by seeing how much spaghetti they can eat.

Big Brother will call the Head of House to the Diary Room to collect a laminate containing the details of today’s task.

The laminate explains that for today’s task, housemates will be paying a visit to Grande Fratello’s Italian Restaurant. Today’s special is Spaghetti. The housemates will have 2 hours to eat a giant bowl of it.

It is hardly surprising that Nicole has been evicted from the Big Brother house……there is nothing likeable about the girl!

She moans, complains, whines and hunts for compliments from Rex, but she has contributed nothing to the team, to the house or to the show.

Judging by the chants coming from the eviction crowd tonight, I am not the only one who has a serious dislike for Rex’s woman. I just hope that now she’s gone, Rex will cheer up, move on and maybe even snog one of the pretty young things he is now sharing a house with.

Mohamed has been sent to jail for breaking Big Brother rules by talking about nominations.
Today, housemates will be permitted to appeal for Mohamed’s release. Big Brother will provide t-shirts and materials to make placards to help housemates campaign.

Each housemate must wear their t-shirt. Each housemate may also make a placard from the materials provided by Big Brother to promote their appeal. T-shirts have slogans “Free Mo!” and “Free The Big Brother One!”

Later, Big Brother will call each housemate one by one to the Diary Room, where they must bring their placard and individually appeal for Mohamed to be free. Read more & comment »

Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker’s E4 zombie thriller Dead Set is to be set in the Big Brother house and be based on a similar reality TV show….like Big Brother with zombies….cool!

In the show, the Big Brother house becomes one of the last places where people can shelter from the zombies.

According to Broadcast magazine, the contestants in the Big Brother house are unaware of the massacre going on outside.

Now it all makes sense! When we attended Belinda’s Big Brother eviction in July,we were asked to stay behind and help film some fake eviction scenes for a new show Channel 4 was making. Read more & comment »

Mario Marconi is all set to return to the Big Brother house this Sunday night, according to The Sun newspaper.

Mario was the second person to be evicted from the BB house earlier this summer, but wants to return so he can propose to his girlfriend, Lisa Appleton.

A source told the newspaper: “Mario is really excited about getting to propose to Lisa. He has bought a ring and he can’t wait to see her again.”

The newspaper also reported that Davina McCall will announce the shock visit after the live eviction tonight.

Big Brother’s first evictee, Stephanie, is rumoured to be planning to steal chef Rex Newmark from his girlfriend when he emerges from the BB house.

Stephanie is reported to have told The Daily Star: “Rex is my man. He and Nicole can’t stand each other.”

While fellow evictee Rebecca said that Steph has been getting cosy with Rex’s family in anticipation of his release:

She told the newspaper: “It’s a bit strange because she has been spending pretty much every night with Rex’s friends and family ever since she left the house. Read more & comment »

Lisa, Nicole and Sara this week will face the next Big Brother eviction via the public vote on Friday 22nd August. Sara received five nominations and both Lisa and Nicole received four.

Darnell is the first to nominate. His first nomination is Nicole because “She hasn’t been through all the stuff we went through to get here…..this is the end and this should be the fun times. We all got the speech from Rex that he wants to be here in the final with his girlfriend….” Darnell then nominates Sara as his second saying she makes friends, then they leave so she moves on to someone else and that she just agrees with what everyone says.

Kathreya has nominated Sara and Lisa. Read more & comment »
