DON'T READ THE POST BELOW OME IF YOU'VE NOT CAUGHT UP.


Dylan, Trish, Noky and at last Paul!

I want Topless-Paul gone, but fear it will be Dylan due to his aggressive style of arguing along with Noky. I'd rather Dylan stay and made to continue living with Trish.

Paul encourages and has his little spiteful team around him i.e. Tom, Olivia and Jenkins, they really are a nasty bunch together, although they claim they are . ."having fun" .. er no, being snide and hurtful to other HM's is not fun its verging on bullying.

I've grown to dislike Tom this past week , he's offered little to the house all series and since he attached himself to Paul he acts like a petulant adolecent. Trish was right to put him in the sheep outfit and typically Tom replied to her in the only way he knows how .. by giving the finger to her face and arrogantly saying behind her back - "she's gone on Friday" - to which Dylan fell about hysterically laughing. Dylan still despises Trish, all those apologies and hugs between them meant nothing.


After seeing how upset Henry was Jordan finally has a word with Matty and put an end to their flirting, again. I really like Jordan and his humour, but have not enjoyed him playing Matty and Henry.

I still think Yinrun will win this series and I won't be disappointed if she does. But really I’d love Henry to win, he’s one of the most decent HM’s ever, not nasty, not boring, not OTT just interesting to listen to, good humoured and wears his heart on his sleeve. For me he steals every scene he’s in.

Big Brother gave viewers a glimpse of an explosive row taking place in the house on Thursday night during its Late and Live spin-off.

Will Best, who was presenting the show, showed a quick clip of the live feed leaving fans desperate to know what was kicking off in the house.

During the clip, Trish could be heard shouting at someone that they were a 'bully' as a row erupted in the kitchen of the house.

It is unclear who she was addressing, but she could be heard saying: 'So you know who you've been bullying, and who you've been attempting to bully. You are a bully! You are a bully! You're a bully and it's not fair!'

Will later told viewers that they had been forced to cancel the live camera run segment on the programme because things had got 'too spicy'.

The live feed, which airs at 11pm after Late and Live, was airing just bird noises rather than showing the usual instalment of nightly drama.

I wonder if its Paul who Trish is having at go at? he's been vile and intimidating to Noky.

Never have I wanted a HM gone as much as I did Paul last night (not for a while anyway) , especially after his adolescent and spiteful behaviour just because he wasn’t given an invitation to Yinrun's party. Paul was happily aided and abetted by his sidekick Olivia.

Trish being Trish didn't hold back and called Paul out on his childish reactions to the HM's enjoying the party, the throwing of clingfilm and who can forget seeing him flash his bare backside saying - “Your little d**khead party, I’m sick of it!" - Plus his infantile reaction when Noky dared to look at him. - ”what you looking at?."

It was a welcome come down to see Paul struggling against Trish - “who are you trying to scare?”.. a grown man saying that to a short woman sounded ridiculous - “you don't scare me ” - oh I think Trish DID scare Paul, he couldn’t cope with someone standing up to him.

Anyway, Paul’s gone now, hip hip hooray!

I was pleased Dylan was the other one evicted, because when they went live to the house for the first time as AJ called his name i.e. 'Dylan Noky, Paul, Trish, etc' .. Dylan got a mixed reaction a few boos and some loud cheers and he looked so smug thinking he was popular, that was until he heard the massive cheers for Trish and Noky..Lol!

Despite my obvious glee at seeing topless-Paul and Dylan booted out I disliked the crowd booing them, that seems unnecessary. Neither of them have been that evil. No I don't like the OTT boos

It's going to be interesting to see how Tom, Jenkins and Olivia cope now their leader has gone, Tom really got on my nerves again when he was b*tching with Jenkins in the garden after the party and blaming Trish for having a go at Paul, Tom is clueless and Jenkins sat there nodding along agreeing with him, I hope Tom goes next.

Jenkins face was a picture as he heard the boos when Paul's name was read dout, he was like ----> :yikey: <---- He was probably thinking, I backed the wrong horse :lol:

It would have been so easy for Yinrun to choose friends from her side (plus Chanelle from the other side), as her party guests, but she went for the fairest way of doing it. I'm not sure anyone else in there would have done that.
Jenkin looked gobsmacked when handed the first golden ticket.

Paul's just a tattooed toddler - you'd think he'd try and be happy for his mates Tom & Jenkin and not spoil their fun. Paul still had Olivia for company .The music seemed just as loud upstairs, the 'non invited' could've danced about up there, or were they more bothered by missing out on cocktails? Not surprised at Olivias sour puss. My first impression of her on launch night was that she's a sulky spoiled princess. And she was snappy when she'd missed out on alcohol that night too.

Surprised in the eviction interview at Paul wanting Jenkin to win. I was sure Tom would've been his first choice.
I quite liked Dylan for the most part. Interesting that he wants Yinrun to win, even after seeing footage of her nominating him. Hallie wants a Yinrun win. And Kerry (though she said ''Olivia or Yinrun'').
For the final, I want Trish as runner up and Yinrun as winner. The rest of the housemates can get in the bin.

I've been back and forth with my opinion of Olivia, but now I'm with you and dislike her.

Interestingly just after Paul was evicted she took it upon herself to warn Noky about Trish which was way out of line. Then later that same evening Olivia told her mean group - "They did this, those two girls (Noky and Trish) did this. Paul was literally one of the most genuine ones of us all" - I wish she knew how foolish she sounded.


For the final, I want Trish as runner up and Yinrun as winner.
I'd be happy with that. I really like Henry too, but doubt he will win, so if these could be the final three then I'm happy.

I’m loving Trish being in the house more and more, the 'mean group' (Tom, Olivia, Jenkins) dislike her intensely. They (the meanies) blame Trish for Paul being evicted because she .. gasp, horror called innocent little Paul a 'bully', well he couldn't possibly have been evicted because he was an unpleasant, selfish HM, no its all Trish's fault. They really are ridiculous.

I think the real problem Tom , Jenkins, Olivia and Chanelle have with Trish is that they're scared of confronting her, its much easier for them to vent about her together behind her back, plus it unites their group to have Trish as their enemy. If they listened to Trish they might realise that she actually speaks a lot of sense most of the time , yes shes opinionated and can be domineering, but at least you know where you are with her. Trish is far more honest and likeable then any of the 'mean group'. Keep her in!


It feels like a cop out to have given the immunity to Chanelle, she's never been up for eviction once and I think she will sail through to the final. Does she really believe there are two moons? and she claims not to know about Cleopatra , I think she's playing the classic dumb card on purpose.

Oh my, when Yinrun cries she REALLY cries and lets it all out doesn’t she, we had another short burst of her alarming howling after she'd nominated Jenkins.

I've fallen out with Jordan for now , he behaved like an idiot completely ignoring Henry for no reason and knowing how much it would hurt him. He apologised the next day, but the damage was done. Then he did the same to Matty, they had a serious talk together about it all and I almost fell asleep ...




I've just read some surprising things on-line about the edit for BB being unfair, I don't bother watching the live feed, but apparenntly Jenkins was very unpleasant on his birthday which was not shown on the main show.
He was talking to Tom and Olivia in the garden and said - "You know when you sung Happy birthday to me? Yinrun got a me a knife to cut everyone a piece of cake and I went .. that's where you're mistaken, I'm saving it (the cake) for tomorrow" - he then said to Tom and Olivia that he was going to eat it all himself and when Tom called him - "petty," - Jenkin replied - "It's not petty, I just like Kinder Bueno.". I wonder why BB omitted this from the main show?

I don't know about anyone else, but I have never known a birthday cake to be solely for the person who has the birthday.

Matty has caught the same howling phenomenon from Yinrun, it must be highly infectious :lol: Matty's dramatic wailing in the garden with a cushion covering his face .. what can I say? he was so obviously OTT and in between his wailing we has Trish following him around earnestly saying - “I'm so sorry Matty” - with Matty replying - “its alright, waaghh!"- I’ve never seen anything like it and when Trish finally mahaged to tell Matty that his boyfriend was on zoom and not there in person Matty suddenly stopped howling and said - oh” - end of hysterical howling :lmao:

Yinrun – Trish criticised her to Jordan who also agreed, it was about Yinrun getting too emotional on other peoples behalf. Trish said to Jordan - “she needs to pull herself together and realise its not about her and let the other person have their moment”- Their conversation was very enlightening, it was almost as if Trish and Jordan were claiming that Yinrun was attention seeking.
Thinking about Yinrun's howling moments, I do wonder if it’s a cultural thing? I know very little about China, but I do know that in some cultures it's seen as healthier to be free and demonstrative with negative emotions?


The 'mean group' finally called a truce and decided that wicked Trish isn’t so bad after all, they were rightly impressed by the way Trish handled not getting to see her sister when Olivia got to see hers. As expected Trish held no bitterness towards Olivia or to those who made the decision, but then she wouldn’t, but had it been the other way around I'm not so sure Olivia would’ve been so gracious.
Anyway, the meanies truce didn’t last long because by the end of the show Chanelle and Tom were back to b*tching again. Chanelle seems to want to continue the nastiness ... she's a sly one is Chanelle.


Quote of the night for me was - "If my Mother comes to the house then don't let her in" - Jordan :lmao:

I suddenly feel completely deflated and uninterested in the rest of the series .. yes I am sulking.

Trish went from loud chants for her to win ... to her being evicted in seconds, she was bound to be toast with the vote to evict in a double eviction . The 'mean group' fans would all have voted Trish to go and meanwhile the Trish fans votes would be split between Chanelle, Jenkin and Olivia. If it had been a vote to save then I think Trish would still be there.

I've got to give Jenkin some credit for playing it well this week, he completely changed his behaviour after being nominated and after his Mum's visit with her timely advice,

What a fabulous exit by Trish :D I'm so happy she came out to loud cheers, but oh is so flipping unfair she went before Tom, Jenkin and Noky.


Who to win? - I've gone off Yinrun a bit her OTT crying has put me off along with her silly scenes with Matty when they act like children. I'd rather it be Henry (even if he does love Boris). Unfortunatltely I think Olivia has got this in the bag.

This last week is going to be bliddy dull that's for sure.

Haha!!

I’m so far behind, but still following your posts and I know who went. I honestly thought it would be Chanelle and Jenkins to go. I thought Trish was on course for winning, so that was a complete shock to see her go.

Now, it appears Trish has a dodgy background for being racist. I have no idea if this is fake news, but did see a statement from BB saying they were investigating the allegations. I hope they are fake because I like Trish and it does my head in when I feel I’ve been wrong about someone.

I’ve already felt duped by like Paul only to see him turn into a nasty character. He reminded me a little like Bear when he was in CBB.

Oh, I’m sure it will be still great viewing. My favourites are Jordan and Henry.


I like Olivia and Jenkin. I have gone off Yinrun because of her OTT dramatics.

I’m not sure about Noky, I keep getting vibes she is playing to the camera.

I do not like Matty and I haven’t mentioned Tom because I never see anything from him.

What a shock this has been, a very nasty shock. I would never have imagined Trish holding such abhorrent views and not only racist ones either. She had me completely fooled, I thought she was intelligent, empathic and someone who wasn't afraid to stand up for social injustices. Her tweets are far more offensive then anything I could’ve imagined, they are absolutely vile.

Apparently Trish has issued an apology and said those tweets were posted by her eleven years ago and claims she is more educated these days and has changed. I like to believe people should be given a second chance for past mistakes and want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but her views in those tweets are so horrendously extreme. I've also read that (allegedly) some of her vile tweets are from this last summer, how true this is I don't know?

Has she apologised because she is truly sorry and ashamed or because she has been found out? Not knowing is the thing. All trust in Trish and what she stood for in the house is in serious doubt, was she fake in her friendship with Yinrun, Jordan and Henry? I like to think not and I guess we will never know.

I'm surprised that ITV didn't check the contestant’s social media accounts before accepting them on Big Brother and what an idiot I now feel after wanting her to be in the final.

I'm still one episode behind, so this is about the night before the night before. A clever move of Big Brother to give the housemates a party and then drop the dreaded 'face to face' nominations on them. That was a tense moment for all of them. Tom is someone I haven't really cared about because he seems to get little airtime, however, his reaction to Yinrun was brilliant. It's about time someone called her out on the constant wailing. There was one point where I started to wish BB would remove her for her own mental health because all this wailing every day surely isn't good for anyone. I know I struggle with it and I only get a glimpse each night.

I was majorly disappointed to see Jenkin and Jordan in the eviction group and then Tom after his reaction. I so wish this had been Matty, Yinrun and Noky. But it is what it is.

I know who went last night, I'm relieved Jordan stayed. His dry humour is what is keeping me going this week. I also like his romance with Henry which is a shocker for me as I usually hate BB romances.

I'm looking forward to the reaction of Jordan going back, I hope he calls some of them on their comments.


Her tweets are far more offensive then anything I could’ve imagined, they are absolutely vile.
I have seen a lot more now and I'm gobsmacked at what she has said. I don't care that she was younger, these comments are disgusting. I do believe people should be given a second chance, but I also believe people should know what is right and what is unacceptable. I can't believe that Trish has done this after everything she has been through. It's such a letdown when things like this are exposed.

I also want to mention AJ's conduct during Chanelle's interview which I found to be totally uncomfortable. I couldn't believe how AJ tried to make Chanelle out to be something else. I don't think Chanelle realised what was happening. I remember how professional Emma Willis was when she interviewed the troubled Roxanne Pallet. I read that AJ had been suspended from presenting while discussions were happening over her actions during Chanelle's interview. I also saw that Trish had been banned from appearing on the L&L show.

I’m very happy Matty has gone.
His eviction was so savage and brutal, everyone else was in the middle of enjoying loving and heart-warming letters from family and then ... BAM! .. "Matty you have been evicted!" .. Omg! that was vicious. Matty did take it well though, far better than Yinrun with her howling. after he'd gone.

Has he had his eviction interview yet? I doubt I will bother watching/catching up with it because Matty drove me mad when he was speaking . Every other word he said was .."like" .... every single sentence he used that word e.g. .. "its like" , "and like", "so like" etc., etc. I even once found myself counting how many times he said like in one conversation.



This is how I would love it to finish tonight.

5th - Yinrun
4th - Olivia
3rd - Henry
2nd - Noky
1st - Jordan
And this is how I would like it to be ..

5th - Noky
4th - Olivia
3rd - Yinrun
2nd - Jordan
1st - Henry

Ideally I would love it to be a tie for first place so that both Jordan and Henry could be joint winners, I know that can't happen so I'll be pleased with either Henry or Jordan winning the series and the other coming second.

Even though I was rooting for Henry I am thrilled that Jordan won, he lit up this series with his dry, unique and honest humour. The contrast of the house when Jordan was in the secret room until he re-entered was massive, his presence in the house made a huge difference, he made the show.


I was reading that apparently Matty wanted to leave the house weeks ago and BB persuaded him to stay. Matty who claims he is very sensitive was not comfortable with what he called "a mean group of girls" forming i.e ... Kerry, Hallie and Olivia. Then later on (according to Matty) his MH began to suffer because of the Jordan triangle and again BB got him to stay. I wish they'd let him go.


The voting persentages -
Jordan - 37.8%
Olivia - 20.2%
Henry - 19.6%
Yinrun - 17.1%
Noky - 5.3%

Jordan won by a huge landslide and Henry was so close to coming second it was very close between him and Olivia.

I was thrilled with the winner for this series and it was a perfect ending. My only complaint has to be the presenters. They always came across as though they were reading a script.

I hope the next BB is during the summer, but before that, bring on CBB.

I really tried to get used to them, but they were not very good presenters at all. In the end we 'muted' the volume whenever AJ was speaking which made viewing much more pleasant, it was a relief not to hear her voice.

I've been avoiding this thread because due to two separate weeks away I am way behind and am only now at the episodes from the start of November. I thought the show got off to a bit of a slow start, and wondered if maybe they needed a mix of bigger personalities, but as it had gone on I'm not really getting into it. I'm enjoying the Henry/Jordan/Matty triangle. I'll be back to this thread once I've finished to see what you all thought of everyone and the dramas that went down.
