Big Brother

No it was the evening after. It was in the bedroom - it was on the live feed and many speculated it was another fake week prank but it was completely ignore by the official site and highlights so it obviously wasn't:

So thanks to "Fake Week" we have it confirmed that Endemol/C4 have selected Charley as this years favourite and will do anything to keep her in the house.

The only good thing to come out of this is confirmation that the "Big Brother" brand is dying and should be buried along with its ratings.

Can anyone else get on the site

Nope

No, can't get on either.

Well im glad Fridays show did well, but that could just be a blip, although i hope the highlights show increase its ratings just a little.

Many people say this years is the worst because of the ratings, but when you look at it closer its still coming second or third out of the other channels when its on.

Yeah, generally it's second but until now Big Brother hadn't really been affected by the general decline in viewing figures and had held it's audience well over the years compared to the soaps for example.


It's currently averaging 3.7m, which is over 500,000 less than the previous worse, which was BB6 at 4.25m.


However, the ratings perhaps aren't the best indicator - BB4 actually did quite well ratings wise, while though people are split on BB6, I don't think many would put it in last position or say BB7 was an improvement on it.


It's not even really the housemates at fault this year - you can't really blame them like we did in BB4 - it's generally down to the producers - and what on earth were they thinking bringing in the producer of Celebrity Love Island to executive producer BB8. Surely that should have been the first warning sign.

And an answer to why Friday's show was so tame...

According to AOLs homepage the housemates are in for a shock. Apparently nominations are happening today instead of Tues. There are also rumours circulating about an additional housemate or 2 or 3. Apparently the ladies are not viewing in their droves, so these additions are for the female of the species.

and the red blooded gay lads?

It's the Daily Star who've started the rumour of new HMs - but from experience it can be taken as bollocks as they name most of them as ex-reality stars and say they won't move in until a week on Friday - and the HMs are never leaked that early, and 5 more moving in would mean about 10 left in the final week!


Nominations taken place early presumably due to a task Big Brother has planned for this week

But of course. Mind you we have to see the chappies before we fIght over them.
And if the rumours started at the Star on Sunday we could be well and truly duped. Good old AOL.
