Something for the weekend?

sophie, lisa
Last night, Dogface decided that her hair needed a trim – and a brushing wouldn’t go amiss either by the way – so obviously, Lisa was number one choice of hairdresser…

And why wouldn’t she be given she has such luxurious and well styled… skin on her own head.

“I’m gunna do it bit by bit” said Lisa as she gathered up Sophie’s hair.

“You have to be careful because it’s so fine” she added as she went into stylist mode, though unlike most stylists, she didn’t ask if Dogface was going on holiday this year.

“You look like Lady Gaga” said Karly as she watched from a safe distance. Read more & comment »

Sree you…

sree leaves
With a huge 85% of the public vote, Sree is goneski. He’s outta there, he’s an ex-housemates, and praise be. I for one am very glad to see the back of him.

And the house is very much divided about whether his leaving was a good things.

“A lot of people have strong opinions about Sree’s actions,” said Halfwit, who then listed some of the not too nice things Sree had done and said.

Kris replied, “I understand that he rubbed people up the wrong way, but I don’t think there was any malice in it.”

Marcus however wasn’t so liberal in his views, “I think there was malice definitely. You wait until you watch the show when you get out.” Read more & comment »

Smooth as a cashmere codpiece

karly
Sree’s been pouring some verbal sugar on Karly today. This afternoon, while he was trying on various eviction outfits, he handed her a rose which went down very well…

“Aw Sree, thank you!” said Karly, clutching the task remnant.

Maybe that is a flower darling, but inside you can’t measure my love” Sree oozed, doing his best Alvis impersonation, complete with hip wiggling. Ew.

“Last night I had a dream,” he continued. “I see an angel with white clothes, but I can’t see her face… Read more & comment »

Sree’s dyslexia comments spark outrage

sree, halfwit row

Media reports today indicate that Big Brother bosses could be about to launch an investigation following viewer complaints that Sree had “taunted” fellow housemate Freddie about being dyslexic.

The incident occurred when Sree and Freddie got into a row over Sree’s use of garlic last week. During their row, Sree said, “You’re a dyslexic student from Oxford. “What’s 15 times 15?”

More on this as we get it. Read more & comment »

Tanfastic Two

dogface turns orange
In a fit of boredom this afternoon, Rodrigo and Dogface decided to try out some fake tan, as you do. But it back fired rather horribly…

When liberal amounts of the instant tanning lotion had done its worst, Marcus’s jaw dropped when he saw Sophie.

“Sophie… What have you done?!” he gasped as she glowed in the dark, or at least, she would’ve if it was dark.

“Instant tanner! Why, do I look stupid?”

Erm, there’s no shortage of mirrors Sophie…

Kris immediately burst out laughing when he spotted her – as indeed you can from space.

“What are you two doing?! You’ve got to wash it off!” Read more & comment »

Halfwit & Lisa bury the hatchet, and not in each other’s heads!

halfwit and lisa
Following their many rows, Lisa and Halfwit have made up this morning, as he predicated they would.

“I don’t dislike you and I don’t envy you because your family are rich” Lisa told Halfwit in the garden.

“No, I know” replied Halfwit.

“Sometimes people are scared to approach me” said Lisa, adding, “but I’m probably one of the softest people in the House”

Soft? Erm, ok, if you say so, scary skinhead lady.

“You wanna be careful with the acid tongue though” said Halfwit who it seems isn’t bothered whether he lives or dies… Read more & comment »

Oh you crazy kids…

Yesterday, Kris started a talc fight by chucking loads of it over Dogface, who, by the way, really needs to put a comb through her hair now and again. But anyway, the powdery mayhem soon spread to everyone else who was sunbathing in the garden, and Sree managed to cover Noirin in it, despite her telling him not to.

She seemed to take it well and dutifully giggled along, but the look in her eyes told a different story…

Here’s a clip…

Women’s lib? Nobody told Noirin about it apparently

marcus and noirin
Last night, as all the other housemates were enjoying some pool fun with the inflatable pool toys they got as part of their shopping, Marcus and Noirin chose to sit inside and carry on with their mutual admiration club.

During the course of their conversation, talk turned to what Noirin might do once she’s left the house. Marcus asked if she’d go into glamour modelling but Noirin dismissed that idea, saying of her potential assets for that career, “I’m 25 now, that’s not going to last very long.”

After some reassurance from Marcus about her attractiveness, Noirin decided it was her turn to lavish some praise, so she told Marcus, “You’re like a father figure in the house” and added, “You actually do know everything that’s going on” which prompted Marcus to tell her he was flattered that she thinks so and much hugging ensued… Read more & comment »

“Suprises aplenty” for birthday week in Big Brother

big brother eye 2009

*Apologies for earlier confusing post stating the final week was in July. It’s not… I got two stories mixed up into one. Again, my apologies. So here’s the updated post…*

It seems that we’re in for “surprises aplenty” to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the hugely successful show.

Channel 4 has announced that the housemates will encounter “shocking and unexpected” events during the week-long anniversary celebrations which start on Monday July 13th.

In their press release, Channel 4 said of the week-night shows, “Catch up on all the latest goings-on in the house.

“In the week of Big Brother’s tenth birthday, there’ll be surprises aplenty to celebrate a decade of the most talked-about TV programme of the noughties”.

And for the eviction night on Friday July 17th, they say that “a host of extravagant surprises” are in store for us and the housemates. Read more & comment »

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 »

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 »
