Big Brother UK 2023

[Richard Channing]

Is everyone excited about the launch tonight? I'm beyond excited and while I usually go to bed at the time BB airs, I will be staying up and having a lateone.#



Here are some of the pictures on the new house.

Had forgotten all about this so thanks for the heads up. Will definitely be watching!

The launch night filled me with excitement and disappointment, but I enjoyed it. My disappointment was mainly at the ages of the housemates, I was hoping for more older people. I was also disappointed at Noky going in because I didn't think winning Miss Universe Great Britain was your average housemate. I did like how quickly they sent people in, I'm sure we had more adverts in previous years between housemates entering.

A few days into the show and I'm loving it. My favourites are Jordan, Henry, Yinrun and Farida. I like that Farida isn't afraid to ask questions to understand her housemates, even if some questions might feel out there. I was shocked when Trish appeared without hair, I wondered who she was for a moment.

I can feel some arguments building up and Olivia being involved in them. I'm looking forward to the nominations and the fallout that is bound to follow.

They said BB wouldn't interfere much and so far that seems to be working.

 

[Long Lashes]

Life has been busy for me recently so I’ve missed some of this series and am still busy catching up.

I did see Farida and the unrest she caused , I was sorry to see her go, don’t get me wrong I’m sure she wasn’t easy to live with but I admired how she stood her ground and didn’t care if it made her unpopular. Which leads me to Kerry her nemesis. I thought that Kerry set Farida up at times e.g. .. by deliberately sitting next to her and saying or suggesting something she knew full well Farida wouldn’t agree with.. Needless to say I’m not a Kerry fan, I'm finding her to be passive aggressive and sly.

So far I like Jordan, Henry, Hallie and Yinrun, I kind of like Jenkins too. Hallie impresses me with how mature she is for her age, especially considering what she is going through, I did unfortunatley miss seeing her ‘melt-down’ which I’ve heard the other housemates speak of and I think she needs to be careful about her friendship with Kerry .. .... have I mentioned I don’t trust Kerry?



I've put this next bit in a SPOILER in case you havent watched the nomination episode and know who is up for eviction this week ..

Spoiler: IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS UP FOR EVICTION THIS WEEK

I’m hoping its Zak who goes this week, I neither like or dislike him, he’s just there .

Also I really want Henry to stay, I’m enjoying his genuine friendship with Jordan, a real friendship like this is rare in the BB house. I think it was Trish who said that Henrys laughter is infectious and she’s right it is, he also has some interesting conversations with his group. I felt for him being nominated and seeing him cry in the diary room reminded me of how young he is, he always comes across as confident and mature .. almost middle-aged, but seeing him upset and vulnerable showed a completely different side to him.

Which takes me to the nominations, as usual when BB announces who is up the housemates predictably come out with . .”oh my god” , “how did that happen” “I can’t believe it” .... and it suddenly struck me how fake their reactions are , I could practically hear their true thoughts “thank god its not me” “wow that’s a relief” .. they vocalise shock and sympathetic words but you can see the relief in their faces and clearly hear it in their voices, they don’t fool me...Lol!

I’m getting good old-fashioned BB vibes from this series, I’m hoping no new housemates are introduced . I also like the design of the house and how they all share the same bedroom. Are there any smokers this series? I thought I heard a voice (not sure who) saying I’m going for a fag or did I dream that?

Anyway that’s where I am so far. I missed the Camping task but know they failed and now I promise to try and not to miss another episode.

Ooo I nearly forgot to say, I can see Yinrun winning this series .. unless I change my mind tomorrow.

 

[Ome]

I thought that Kerry set Farida up at times e.g. .

Ooh, that never occurred to me.

So far I like Jordan, Henry, Hallie and Yinrun,

All my favourites too and for the first time, I have been voting this year. Well, I downloaded the app and get 5 free votes so what the hell. I'm hoping Zak goes.

I did unfortunatley miss seeing her ‘melt-down’

I didn't like that, I felt she was trying to play for the cameras and I couldn't tell if she was genuine or vying for attention.

have I mentioned I don’t trust Kerry?

Also I really want Henry to stay, I’m enjoying his genuine friendship with Jordan, a real friendship like this is rare in the BB house. I think it was Trish who said that Henrys laughter is infectious and she’s right it is, he also has some interesting conversations with his group.

Totally agree.

Which takes me to the nominations, as usual when BB announces who is up the housemates predictably come out with . .”oh my god” , “how did that happen” “I can’t believe it” .... and it suddenly struck me how fake their reactions are , I could practically hear their true thoughts “thank god its not me” “wow that’s a relief” .. they vocalise shock and sympathetic words but you can see the relief in their faces and clearly hear it in their voices, they don’t fool me...Lol!

Absoultely!

And speaking of nominations, I'm glad it was back to two nominations each this week. I didn't like the week before where they were only asked for one nomination.

And, on that subject, I didn't like two of them using the excuse that Paul isn't educated enough. I felt it wasn't a valid reason.

I’m getting good old-fashioned BB vibes from this series,

Yes, me too. So far, so good.

 

[Long Lashes]

And, on that subject, I didn't like two of them using the excuse that Paul isn't educated enough. I felt it wasn't a valid reason.

I missed hearing that or it just didn't resonate with me at the time, but yes flip! thats a patronising excuse and very big headed of whoever said it and to assume that they are cleverer than Paul. I need to go back now and find out who said it

I'm hoping Zak goes.

Now I’ve gone and changed my mind about ZaK since yesterday, he was great entertainment last night, I enjoyed seeing him stirring the pot and telling Matty what Kerry and Olivia had said about him eating too much food. Was he just being open and honest to Matty or was he b*tching? I don’t really care because it made good viewing .. Lol!

Matty confronting Kerry was uncomfortably entertaining, typically she tried to shift the blame back onto Zak for revealing what was said , Matty knew full well what she was doing and wouldn’t have that, he even turned down her offer of a hug.

Then Zak held his own when Kerry confronted him for spilling the beans to Matty, he really didn’t care what she thought and even then Kerry was trying to turn the blame onto him for telling Matty, she was floundering though and didn’t get far because Zak stuck to his guns and cut her off.



I thought Haille and Olivia got off too lightly for their rule break and then they got on my nerves for whining about the rain when in the jail, they should’ve been thankful that BB didn’t put them up for nomination. They were the two villains last night, but not as nasty as some previous villians , more like two naughty girls and at least they unwittingly created some uncomfortable atmospheres and conversations.

Interesting to see Hallie trying to clear the air with Zak for calling him ...“a game player” .... I don’t blame him for being upset about that slur, its daft though because every series someone gets called ... “a game player” ... as an intended insult , when in fact every one of them is a game player trying to get to the last week, thats the whole point of Big Brother isnt it?

I still don’t have a strong opinion about some of the housemates .. Paul, Tom, Dylon and Chanelle .. I’ve not seen enough of them, but that might just be me because I’ve missed a few episodes.



Last nights episode really lit this series up for me , it was fascinating watching the groups divide and the dynamics shift, I hope it continues in this way.

Who is going tonightI, I can't call it? initially I thought Henry was safe and the Zak stirred everything up last night and might have changed a few minds? I don't know? ... my fingers are crossed for Henry.

 

[Ome]

I need to go back now and find out who said it

I think it was Henry and Trish. I have no problem if they nominate him based on his type of humour, or his interests in life, it just feels off that they would use uneducated as a reason. It would help understand more if they showed conversations with Paul, I feel like he's only there because he appears in the background. I'm also wondering if he forgot to pack any tee shirts. I can't recall him ever wearing a top unless it's part of a task.

Matty confronting Kerry was uncomfortably entertaining, typically she tried to shift the blame back onto Zak for revealing what was said , Matty knew full well what she was doing and wouldn’t have that, he even turned down her offer of a hug.

Yes, I'm not sure what to make of Matty. In the first week, he annoyed me because he kept jumping around, and I kept thinking he looked like someone off of CeeBeeBees (or whatever that channel is called). He has calmed down this week, and we are starting to see a kinda side to him. I thought he was really caring when comforting Yinrun over her own insecurities.

Who is going tonightI, I can't call it? initially I thought Henry was safe and the Zak stirred everything up last night and might have changed a few minds? I don't know? ... my fingers are crossed for Henry.

After Zak's last couple of days, it's a shame these two were up for Eviction. Though, I'm pleased with who went last night.

I'm not a fan of Kerry this week, but I felt for her last night when the crowd started chanting, "Get Kerry Out!". We didn't see her reaction, but I'm guessing it will focus on that in the next episode.

The foul food task was awful, I couldn't watch some of it. I'm not a fan of watching people vomit or anything like that. I did find Tom on the bike amusing.

I love Jordan, but the cynic in me started to wonder if he was creating a backup plan. We all saw his friendship blossom with Henry and I think he knows that would likely win the public over, however, losing Henry could damage his time there, so was he genuine when he spoke about Matty and when he cuddled the green teddy of Matty's, or was he getting ready for the next stage??? If I'm wrong, then fair play, but after years of watching BB I start to think of people having ulterior motives.

If the move on Matty continues, then fair play, but if not, I will be suspicious if we don't see any more progress. That said, it could turn out to be an interesting love triangle if Jordan does fancy Matty, as we know Henry fancies Jordan.

There was no BB last Saturday night and it looks like there isn't one tonight. I wonder why they are not airing one on Saturdays? I always find the episode after the eviction important because this is the only time the housemates get a feeling of the crowd from the chanting. I want to see the reaction to last night's chants.

 

[Long Lashes]

I think it was Henry and Trish. I have no problem if they nominate him based on his type of humour, or his interests in life, it just feels off that they would use uneducated as a reason. It would help understand more if they showed conversations with Paul, I feel like he's only there because he appears in the background

This reflects more badly on Henry and Trish for saying that then it does Paul.

I recall someone nominating Paul or was it just speaking about him? .. anyway they said he was vulgar with a bad sense of humour, I don't recall seeing this side of Paul because he isnt shown much in the highlights. As a viewer I don't know him any better than when he walked into the house on the first night.

I'm also wondering if he forgot to pack any tee shirts. I can't recall him ever wearing a top unless it's part of a task.

... he even had his top off during nominations, its not summer Paul!

perhaps he likes to show off his many tattoos?

Yes, I'm not sure what to make of Matty. In the first week, he annoyed me because he kept jumping around, and I kept thinking he looked like someone off of CeeBeeBees (or whatever that channel is called). He has calmed down this week, and we are starting to see a kinda side to him. I thought he was really caring when comforting Yinrun over her own insecurities.

I think Matty is quite an intreguing character, he must be very intellectual to be a doctor but he doesnt come across that way. He seems like an over-enthusiastic and energetic free spirit. Its been more interesting to see him calmer and showing a more serious side of himself e.g. when he confronted Kerry and like you mentioned .. his caring relationship with Yinrun.

I'm not a fan of Kerry this week, but I felt for her last night when the crowd started chanting, "Get Kerry Out!". We didn't see her reaction, but I'm guessing it will focus on that in the next episode.

I hated that chanting. At first I panicked because I thought they were chanting "Get Henry out" but then it became clear they were saying Kerry. As much as I don't trust Kerry that was too harsh for her to hear, its cruel.

I wish they would insturct the outside crowd to keep completely quiet during the eviction announcement, I would prefer a series were the HM's hear absolutely nothing from the outside, that horrible chanting about Kerry could influence nominations. Also Zak got some boo's during his interview, he looked upset and nervous, he hadn't done anything bad, that was wrong.

The foul food task was awful, I couldn't watch some of it. I'm not a fan of watching people vomit or anything like that.

That made me laugh no, I'm not laughting at you @Ome but the task.

I thought it one of the better short tasks, Jenkins and Chanelle amused me 'playing at shop' in the burger store and I was surpirsed that everyone of the housemates ate their horrible take-aways. They all came together during that task and supported each other and actually had some fun at each others expense.

I love Jordan, but the cynic in me started to wonder if he was creating a backup plan. We all saw his friendship blossom with Henry and I think he knows that would likely win the public over, however, losing Henry could damage his time there, so was he genuine when he spoke about Matty and when he cuddled the green teddy of Matty's, or was he getting ready for the next stage??? If I'm wrong, then fair play, but after years of watching BB I start to think of people having ulterior motives.

What a great point, this hadn't even occured to me.

Jordan becomes more interesting the more I see of him. He makes me laugh on the very rare occasions he washes the dishes or makes a drink for someone else because he openly admits that its .. "purely performative" .. Lol!

There was no BB last Saturday night and it looks like there isn't one tonight. I wonder why they are not airing one on Saturdays? I always find the episode after the eviction important because this is the only time the housemates get a feeling of the crowd from the chanting. I want to see the reaction to last night's chants.

I know its so frustrating. I need to know if they heard the chanting, although they must have done, tonights episdoe will need to feature two days worth of action in such a short time, it doesnt make sense.





Goodbye Zak ..

 

[Long Lashes]

Kerry and the HM’s definitely heard the .. “get Kerry out” ... chant and now they’re all wondering what’s going on. It wasn’t surprising to see Kerry weep in the DR it must’ve cut deep and hurt. The problem for me is if she is officially being cast as a ‘villain’ by the crowd then I might even stop disliking her and stick up for her instead.. ...I know BB is all ‘panto’, but I really hate that they can hear the outside crowd and the affect it has on them.


The House Meeting – Trish sounded ridiculous talking about bedtimes and saying how she came into BB for .. “a rest” .. really? Paul was right to say that she’d come to the wrong place for a rest.

Predictably they had a long discussion about food and came to some sort of agreement, I can’t recall the details now; all I know is that no one will stick to it.



I don’t know what is going on with Jordan and Matty? but I’m finding it uncomfortable to watch. Even Matty seems confused and wants a serious conversation, meanwhile Jordan just seems to want to flirt. I’m seriously thinking you were right @Ome and that Jordan is playing some kind of game. I really like his dry humour, someone who makes me laugh always wins me over, but.. I’m also getting some strong ‘game’ vibes from him and he’s not being subtle about it.



Olivia – what does everyone else think? I’ve warmed to her more recently she’s not as hyper or as attention seeking as she was in the first few days, she seems to just want to have fun and a laugh, yes she’s loud and could do to turn the volume down a bit, but apart from that she seems ok.

 

[Ome]

The problem for me is if she is officially being cast as a ‘villain’ by the crowd then I might even stop disliking her and stick up for her instead.. ...I know BB is all ‘panto’, but I really hate that they can hear the outside crowd and the affect it has on them.

Yes, totally. The thing with this for me is that Kerry is nothing like some of the real villains we have seen in the house. I don't think she has done anything that warrants the hate. Then again, I haven't watched any live feed, so maybe there is more to her villainess than we know.

Paul was right to say that she’d come to the wrong place for a rest.

I wish we would see more of Paul. I liked his response to this about the bedroom. Anyone thinking they can go into a programme like this and expect peace and quiet is fooling themselves.

I don’t know what is going on with Jordan and Matty? but I’m finding it uncomfortable to watch.

I'm really feeling for Henry in these scenes. Even though I should despise him for being a Tory.

I've gone off Matty again, he has started to jump around like a children's TV presenter again.

Olivia – what does everyone else think?

I didn't like her at the beginning for reasons you mentioned, but she has grown on me. I didn't like Jenkins to begin with, but he's grown on me too.





Have you heard they have announced CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER is back in March ?

 

[Long Lashes]

The thing with this for me is that Kerry is nothing like some of the real villains we have seen in the house. I don't think she has done anything that warrants the hate.

I am not fond of her, but you are right, she's really not THAT bad at all.

I have to admit that one of the problems I have with Kerry is that she reminds me of someone I used to work with a long time ago, she is very similar in character, even has the same accent ... bad memories.

wish we would see more of Paul. I liked his response to this about the bedroom. Anyone thinking they can go into a programme like this and expect peace and quiet is fooling themselves.

I was going to have a big rant about Paul and his outburst towards Olivia and Noky, he really lost control of himself, but then after seeing him again last night reflecting on his own reaction and apologising ... I've decided to let him off for now

I'm really feeling for Henry in these scenes. Even though I should despise him for being a Tory.

I've gone off Matty again, he has started to jump around like a children's TV presenter again.

I'm struggling to warm to Matty again . I'm hoping the love triangle fades away, I find both Jordan and Matty awkward and dull together. Jordan is playing both Henry and Matty, I'm just losing interest.

Have you heard they have announced CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER is back in March ?

.... fantastic!


I could really do without Big Brother taking over my life again, but I'll just go with the flow and enjoy every single second

 

[Long Lashes]

Are they having summer weather in the Big Brother garden? they're often sat outside even at nighttime, I'd be frozen.


It was Jenkins turn to have a strop over nothing last night, he's quite childlike in his reactions when he is upset. It became more understanable when he spoke in the DR about how he is missing home and is basically fed up with everyone. A few of them seem to have an 'off' day about this time of the series . .two weeks in, the newness and excitement of the first few days is over and reality sets in that theyr're stuck in a house with a bunch of irritating people they don't know that well.

Jenkins will probably apologise to Hallie for being snappy with her and life will continue.

​

This seems to be the pattern in this house ... i.e. have a disagreement with someone , apologise and move on. What I mean is that none of them seem to have any real enemies in there, or hold grudges, not yet anyway.

I liked seeing the cushion fight in the lounge, that sprung up from nowhere was just some spontaneous natural fun and that is needed as much as the drama.

Dylan – Any opinions on him? He seems pleasant enough just not very exciting or interesting from what we've seen so far.. He laughs at everyones jokes, axoids confrontations and is a keen in the kitchen. I think he will keep his head down and coast to the final week.



So who will be nominated this week? I suspect it could be Kerry, Paul, Olivia, Hallie .. oh I've absolutely no idea

 

[Long Lashes]

Wow Yinruns howling you’d think she’d accidently killed someones cat by the way she reacted, it was bizarre. One thing for sure is that every single HM loves her; they were distressed at her distress and comforted her like she was a child. I can’t see her ever getting nominated.

Big Brother ... "This rule break has affected the outcome of this week's nominations. The people now facing..." by my maths her nominations being voided had no impact on who ended up nominated but BB let her think it did. Also, I don't understand why she was punished; she didn't name anyone she basically asked ... "Should I nominate with my head or my heart?". But that howling reaction from her was ridiculous.


Hallie reacted to being up for eviction as an 18 year old would, I don’t mean that to sound patronising, I've been proved wrong again when I originally said that she’s very mature for her age, she isn’t and after last night performance she isn’t doing herself any favours.

Meanwhile Trish appeared to be completely level headed about her name being called ... so far.

I think Dylan will keep his head down and coast to the final week.

Well I got this wrong, I'm like the kiss of death with my predictions

Dylan admitted he was “shocked” .. well yes so was I Dylan. I think one of the problems Dylan has is what Olivia touched on when she said she felt sorry for him is that he is alone and doesn’t fit in any of the formed groups, so therefore doesn’t have the same protection during nominations, he is probably an easy target for those who don’t want to nominate their friends and who have no reason to nominate anyone else. I don’t think he will go as it’s a vote to evict and Hallie is more likely to have annoyed viewers than he or Trish have. ... but what do I know?



Back to Olivia - no else seemed bothered or concerned about Dylan until she said how sad she felt for him being nominated, nice to see someone with empathy.


I’ve gone off Jenkins again, I just have, he’s not offering much at all.


Hoky – It was whilst nominating her that Henry said that she is very aware of her looks (and I have to say she is stunning), also he feels he doesn’t know the real Noky. As a viewer I find her very guarded and lacking in any warmth. Everything she says seems well prepared.



I wonder how they going to get the HM numbers down with just 3 weeks to go?

 

[Ome]

you’d think she’d accidently killed someones cat by the way she reacted, it was bizarre.

Haha!!! I was initially upset for her, but after a while her moaning/whining was doing my head in. I also didn't enjoy the shouting from everyone. Gine for a few seconds, but then move on to something else. That ended up becoming even more annoying than the whining.

I don't understand why she was punished

Nor did I. Yinrun didn't influence Henry, nor did she speak in code. It felt far too petty to deserve any kind of punishment.

I’ve gone off Jenkins again, I just have, he’s not offering much at all.

Yes, I too no longer care for him. I can't put it down to anything specific, just that I have zero interest in him.

also he feels he doesn’t know the real Noky. As a viewer I find her very guarded and lacking in any warmth. Everything she says seems well prepared.

It's saying something that a couple of the housemates have implied Noky is fake, or playing to the cameras.


Of the three that are up, I don't want any of them to go just yet, but I will pick Dylan because Hallie & Trish create more drama. If I could pick any housemate to go it would be Matty, that guy does my head in.

I wonder how they going to get the HM numbers down with just 3 weeks to go?

I'm curious too.



I will add, that while I'm absolutely loving its return, I could do with it ending in three weeks. It's such a big commitment to watch everything and I prefer it in the summer.


Though, I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen on Halloween.

 

[Long Lashes]

I kind of liked them all again last night and take back my previous harsh criticisms … for today. Just one HM wound me up , but all the rest I enjoyed watching in this latest episode.


I didn’t get Kerry’s problem about Dylan being in the disabled shower before her? They were both full of gunge so why did she feel entitled to be in there first. I kind of suspect her little chat with BB in the DR about the shower inncident was to make sure that we the viewers are aware of what happened, plus she wants Hallie to stay so a black mark against Dylan was part of her reason? .... suspicions, suspicions , suspicions ..

Anyway, it wasn’t Kerry who irritated me last night.

If I could pick any housemate to go it would be Matty, that guy does my head in.

This is who is getting right on my nerves!

I can’t explain exactly why I find Matty so irritating; his scenes with Jordan don’t help. Are they really attracted to each other? I really don’t care they are incredibly dull together.



Dylan has opened up more since being nominated, or maybe we are just getting to see more of him. He said some insightful things about himself and how he has learned to control his usual outbursts .. if he stays maybe we will get to see one of those outbursts. Right at the end of the evening he was having a right good ole' grumble to Chanelle about Kerry and the shower incident, Dylan has the measure of Kerry.



I’ll be sorry to see Hallie, Trish or Dylan go. At a push I'd say Dylan leaving would be the best outcome, I've nothing against him its just that Hallie and Trish are more interesting.

 

[Ome]

I kind of liked them all again last night and take back my previous harsh criticisms

I don’t think I can ever like Matty anymore. I never liked Andy Pandy as a child so maybe that isn’t helping.

I’m really not sure about Noky either. When she was talking about Paul she referred to him as ‘that shit’ and I’m not convinced she really cared about his girlfriend but instead used it as a reason to turn people against him. She doesn’t know his relationship with his girlfriend.

I’m disappointed Hallie went because she was entertaining, though it was a tough choice because I like Trish and think Dylan could bring more drama to the show.

I thought Hallie’s interview went really well, no bitterness from her and she was back to her more mature side again.

I really don’t care they are incredibly dull together.

Yes! I couldn’t pinpoint why I didn’t care for Jordan with Matty, but now I see it. They are dull together.
I keep seeing Henry looking sad whenever he sees them both together. I love Jordan, but I will dislike him immensely if it ever comes out he was using Henry and Matty to create a story that took him to the final.

The catwalk task was great and I enjoyed the rewards they got afterwards. I also thought the kissing task was hilarious.

 

[Long Lashes]

Hallie’s gone darn!

I thought Hallie’s interview went really well, no bitterness from her and she was back to her more mature side again.

Yes she was lovely and I was pleased she got such loud cheers from the crowd. How will Kerry cope without her? She latched onto Hallie early on in the series so her eviction will leave a big void for Kerry.

I would imagine the voting was close and I wonder if BB told Hallie, Trish and Dylan to tell their ‘stories’ in the DR ? only it seemed obvious and contrived when all three explained about their differences and the 'communties' they wanted to represent.

Listening to Trish talking later in far a more natural way to Jordan about being an immigrant was very powerful, I can’t imagine having to leave my home country and settle somewhere else, especially when your new country looks on and judges you with suspicion. She has been through a lot.

I’m really not sure about Noky either. When she was talking about Paul she referred to him as ‘that shit’ and I’m not convinced she really cared about his girlfriend but instead used it as a reason to turn people against him.

It was none of her business and she was stirring it, she’s slowly becoming distrusted in there.

I keep seeing Henry looking sad whenever he sees them both together.

I can't decide if Henry does look sad or if he is he is as bored as we are watching Jordan and Matty, they offer no entertainment and are tedious, I like to think Henry is leaving them to it and finding something more interesting to do.


I think we might see a different Dylan now that he's survived the vote, its bound to give him more confidence and be less guarded. He's clearly not a fan of Kerry so we might see a confrontation between them next week.

 

[Long Lashes]

Tensions are rising in the house; I can see it being Paul, Olivia, Noky and Dylan being nominated this week. Matty and Dylan have had enough of Olivia’s loudness; meanwhile Trish and Yinrun are not impressed with Paul or Nocky.

It was a bit off for Trish to say that she thought Dylan would’ve been the one to be evicted when she was also up, I found that arrogant of her.


The task with the vending machine was funny, especially Jordan with the flood of coke


The practical joke with the lettuce was an embarrassing flop; did Paul, Tom and Olivia hope Kerry would go mad at them, where they trying to wind her up? It was childish and mean, but they thought it was hilarious. Olivia says she "loves Kerry" one minute and then next she is playing a cruel non-joke on her whilst she is asleep.


Dylan is simmering nicely and I can see him reaching blast off this week. Oh he was so bliddy furious with Tom, Noky, Paul and Olivia waking him, Kerry and Yinrun up .. to be fair I don’t blame him, it was 3a.m. they were selfish and didn’t care that some people were asleep.


Could Jordan finally be backing off from Matty? jeeze I really hope so.


I've put this next bit in a spoiler in case anyone doesn't know ..

Spoiler: Spoiler for this weeks evictions

Big Brother contestants are facing a shock twist in Monday night's episode. The housemates are getting a spooky surprise in a Halloween special, as three housemates will face a shock live eviction.

In the upcoming episode, a housemate will be called on a secret mission and be asked to choose three people to face a surprise eviction.
In the early hours of Monday morning, while the house is sleeping, they’ll be given a sign to come to Big Brother where they’ll be asked to nominate 3 Housemates for eviction.

The 3 chosen Housemates will face eviction in a flash vote in Monday night’s Big Brother: Late & Live and the result will see one Housemate leave through the backdoor.

After the shock eviction , the evicted will return to Big Brother: Late & Live on Tuesday for an interview in front of the live audience.

 

[Long Lashes]

The knives were out for Dylan last night. I don't know what he's supposed to be guilty of but Trish is always b*tching about him and Olivia turned nasty asking - “why is Dylan even here” - I guess the same could be asked of you Olivia. And shock horror Jenkin revealed that - "Dylan wants to win" - how evil is Dylan for wanting to win a game show


'Evil Big Brother' is back and I loved the ouija board task in room 101. Seeing Farida, Zak and Hallie return with messages designed to cause parania was very clever.

Farida appeared and said - "Be aware someone is manipulating the younger Housemates who are following them like sheep" - Kerry immediately pointed the finger at Dylan .. Lol! she has so little self-awareness it’s scary to think she is a NHS manager. Although, she did admit later in the DR that she was dumb to think it was Dylan. She is so easy to wind up, she reactied to Faridas message when she'd have been better just saying .. “rubbish!”.. but shes predictably given Farida and BB the reaction they wanted.

Zak appears and said -"Housemates be aware someone is acting all quiet but is actually whispering in peoples ears. It's the quiet ones you need to be aware of " - did he mean Chanelle I wonder? because yes she likes a gossip with her group, but then so does Yinrun with Trish and Jordan does with Henry,

Jordan: - "I openly dislike all of you, so I don't know what I'd be whispering"



When watching the 'possessed Noky' and her secret night-time mission with Trish. I was shouting at the TV for them to put Paul up for nomination, but instead Trish chose Olivia, because and I quote .. “shes emotionally unavailable" .. and it came as no surprise to see them choose Dylan and Kerry.

I think Kerry is a goner.




Meanwhile Henrys palate is missing lamb, veal, prawns and dover sole.

Woah! and finally the house completely exploded.

It was a great episode probably the best so far this series. Noky and Trish did what they had to do with the secret task and if the HM's stopped to think about it and realised if they had been put in the same situation then they would have had to do the same, but oh nooooooo .. Dylan saw red and was raging!

Dylan showed himself up by completely losing control and especially with his ridiculous and controversial - "black on black crime" - that turned me right off his point of view, he completely lost it with his blazing at Trish. The irony is that Trish wasn't even the one who nominated him (although I think she would've done if Noky hadn't). No one could've reasoned with Dylan at that moment, he had erupted and was in a fit of rage, absolutely blazing mad. Trish did well to stand up to Dylan's aggression, although she made it far worse because it became one great big shouting and foot stomping match .

There's no love lost between Dylan and Trish that argument had been brewing for days, it was only a matter of time for the fuse to be lit and then ... whooosh they were off


I have mixed feelings about Trish she is interesting and very aware of the other HMs effects on the house, but seems blind to her own selfishness when eating all the food. Dylan has always called her for doing that and maybe thats where her deep dislike of him comes from.



Surprisingly Olivia was more mature about the whole thing, but then she couldn’t get a word in edgeways with the very loud blazing row Trish and Dylan were having .

Topless-Paul was very annoyed on Olivia's behalf and said he -"hates fake people talking behind people's backs" - Paul's lack of self-awareness about his own behaviour is so funny.

Kerry took her eviction brilliantly, I guess she was ready to go once Hallie had gone, plus Olivia has hardly been a good friend to her. Kudos to her for saying before leaving that she had 'no hard feelings' and wasn’t bitter towards anyone for being nominated.




I suppose once the HM's have had a good nights sleep and got over the shock of the secret task, they’ll probably realise that they (Trish and Noky) were just following BB instructions and had no choice ...... apart from Dylan, that is, I don’t think he will ever forgive them.

I'm quite a few episodes behind and I hope to catch up tonight before the eviction.
