Well at least the housemates have made history. In future 'best TV moments' or 'best BB moments' that fight is bound to be in the top ten. It might actually go down as more memorable than the Nasty Nick episode.

I couldn't really be bothered to read through every post to see if this was mentioned:

Notice how Jason is virtually ALWAYS looking at himself in the mirror. It's not necessarily this that p*sses me off, but the face/pout he pulls when fixing his hair or rubbing Bronzer into his skin.

He softens his eyes by closing them slightly and bobs his head about - has anybody else noticed this??? Look out for it if you haven't.

When the show first started, there was something about Jason that I didn't like - now that has soared through the roof. I honestly think he has some deep psychological issues - he's just plain unusual. Dan has picked up on this a few times.

As for Dan, well! I can't really decide whether to like him or not. There are moments when he his funny and times when I can see right through his fakeness - his accent is obviously fake for one.

(Jason) His violent outburst truly revealed his predatorial side. This perhaps links in with the bodybuilding and his obsession with being portrayed as an alpha-male (jungle cat). It only adds to his dominant/superiority complex.

Also notice the dominance with Vanessa. Although she is often willing, so far from my observations, he always grabs her and backs her into a corner; forcing a kiss out of her. She often has no choice but to oblige.

But it's really his mirror-gazing that really pee's me off! When Marco and Emma were spraying water into the relaxation room, his first instinct was to look into the mirror and fix his hair!

Then we move onto Victor - ever notice that constant eye-brow twitch?

His "gangsta-south-london-cred" image is overly-annoying. Constant repetition of "don't you know who I am?" to Emma emphasised this. It seems he has a superiority complex too - working with his obsession of dominance/intellect also. He is constantly bragging about how he is the most intelligent in the house.

I won't even get onto the 'cocktail stick in the side of the mouth' performance! Evil or Very Mad Rolling Eyes

But how do you describe Nadia (s)he is a case.

Anyway I think that the Big Brother producers are glad that they added the twist of having £10 000 of the prize fund at stake. As they haven't been making as much money as planned through phone votes so far. I think that by removing Emma it gets things back to the number of housemates they planned to have at this stage - not having to alter future Sat night challenges.

They'll be back on track when Jason and/or Victor are nominated - the phone votes are going to surge that week. Or maybe they know that... Rolling Eyes

How "nice" to see the Sunday edition of BBLB being cut to half an hour. Obviously there's nothing to discuss or talk about... and yet another opportunity to inflict Friends on us... Rolling Eyes

What happened to the psychologists in Sunday's edition as in the previous series'? We haven't seen them this year, have we?

Well the Sunday shows are being advertised as including "in-depth psycho-analysis" - but so far we haven't seen the psychologists at all! We're certainly not going to see them tonight either, due to Emma's interview. Fingers crossed for next Sunday... better late than never I suppose.

Nope we haven't - and if ever there was a show to have them back on it'd be today's BBLB or tonight's Big Brother... although I get the feeling they've been ditched.

I heard that the psychologists and BB management had problems.
The psychologists advised Big Brother not to put in certain housemates and not to do the Bedsit angle.

On another note: Michelle Bass is now 8/1 to win - She started the week at 25-1

I think Big Brother has made a HUGE mistake by telling Emma to leave. She was one of the publics' favourites, and could have won the whole show. This 'decision' has cost Emma in excess of £70,000 (or whatever the final amount is).
The whole situation arose from Big Brother itself anyway - if producers hadn't wanted this to happen then why did they dream up the whole bedsit idea.

It is wrong that Emma has gone, and Victor, Jason, Vanessa, Nadia and Marco are still in the house. The worst thing they did was seperate her from the others in the first place - it prevented them from bringing her back.

I feel a bit betrayed by Big BRother now, I know it sounds utterly rediculous and sad, but it seems as if Big Bro is on the side of the schemers (Jason and Victor). They constantly talk about nominations and are also playing a dirty game. Now that Emma has gone it's as good as saying 'You've won the battle' to the pair.

You don't think they're gonna do a Tickle and put her back in in a few weeks when Victor and Jay are gone?

Hi i'm new to this site. TV is a passion of mine. Not thayt Big Brother is particularly but now it's mentioned, I do Media studies and my homework this weekend was to analyse the construction of Frisay nights Big Brother. I definitley think the Jade one - no.3 i think, iwas the best so far. Channel 4 keep producing them tho because they achieve their biggest audience share with the series. Cool
