BIG BROTHER 2010

I think it's quite a good line up and I am enjoying the shows so far. It's a pity the launch show seemed so rushed though. It might have been nice if they did something to the house while Josie was out. I'd also have liked to see slightly different graphics, titles etc. rather than just use the Big Brother 11 ones.

EDIT: Just seen the titles for tonights show. It looks like they have changed the titles, there are bits of previous titles mixed with the BB11 titles now.

I got the feeling from how the last few HMs' entrances were cut short that they were running out of time. Maybe the BB11 final over-ran?

Josie has left.

Apparently she was just talking like normal in the garden when she suddenly rushed to the emergency exit and broke the bar to get out.

Glad she's walked; she would have most likely won this series because she's so 'fresh in peoples minds'.

But she also ran the risk of losing, in which case she'd have lost much of the lucrative media deals which normally boost the income of BB winners.

The media would no doubt have been concentrating on the Ultimate BB winner, not the BB11 winner from 3 weeks earlier.

Is there an actual prize for winning Ultimate Big Brother?

I'm glad she's gone personally. Being amongst real Ultimate housemates like Brian, Nadia and Coolio makes her look quite dull in comparison.

Oh and seeing it doesn't appear to be posted:

Can't help but feel that Josie was treated really badly.

She had twenty minutes outside the house. No time to see family, friends (apart from John James), have any of the usual counselling that people have when leaving the house or even really get to enjoy her moment of fame. And then she had to go back into the house with a completely different bunch of people, all of who she would see as famous (albeit only famous for being on BB).

Glad she's got out. Hope Endemol / Channel 4 reflect on how they look after her now.

She had off camera counselling once she returned to the house.

I knew it wouldn't be long before she left. She was so out of place amongst that bunch of fame-hungry *cough* Ulrika *cough* people (personally I'd rather they kept CBB contestants out of it!). Which is ironic saying as Josie went in for possibly the same purpose..never mind, nearly over.

I'm not convinced that, in the context of being in the house, this could be equated to counselling in a calm non-house situation.

I still maintain that this wasn't a fair situation to put her in.

On BBLB tonight, an ode to Bob Righter:

"All the housemates evicted - and the death of Big Brother,
It might be that Bob must move back in with his mother
But fear not dear Bob, we'll keep you alive,
Big Brother will be back... on the other side."


As subtle as a brick.
