Oh dear I think tonight this show finally died.

They appear to have totally lost their touch at selecting housemates.

And this type of twist has been done so many times before, and what a surprise Liam knows David and met him at the audition. Rolling Eyes

It does feel like a bit of a re-hash, but at least they've learned from history that they can't maintain two houses in the same building secretly with any degree of success. At least opening with complete mutual awareness will avoid that disaster.
Re: Liam meeting David at the audition - this is nothing new, and not particularly important IMO - their extent of knowing each other would be limited to participating in a couple of discussion tasks together and doesn't exactly piss all over the format.

Wow! So they're still making it up as they go along are they? It wouldn't matter so much if it wasn't all so desperate and transparent. BB should have been put to sleep years ago.

I don't know why every new selection of housemates HAS to feature a glamour model. Rolling Eyes

The press release says

"Tonight, in a specially extended live show hosted by Davina McCall, five 'halfway housemates' will enter the Big Brother Halfway House, situated adjacent to the Big Brother House. Over the next two days all of the 'halfway housemates' will spend time in the Big Brother House and this Monday (30 July) two of them will swap places with existing housemates."

So, i assume those two existing housemates that will be swapped will be up for eviction, or something simialr?


BBC News goes further, stating:
Quote:
Over the next two days, they will spend some time in the real house before two of them swap places with existing housemates on Monday.

Afterwards, those in the halfway house will battle against each other in an attempt to make their way back into the main house.

I wouldn't mind losing Liam and Tracey out of the existing lot. Offer very little.

You'd have Liam out over the twins?

Last night's live eviction: I'm quite shocked that channel 4 did very little to chide Charley over her bullying. They made a brief mention about it, but other than that, Davina laughed and made facial contortions throughout the entire interview, seemignly advocating Charley's disgusting behaviour. It seems the bully has come out the victor.

Oh, and I thought producers were putting more men in than women, in an attempt to increase female viewership? Instead, they put a further three more women in, and two men completely devoid of any charisma.

What a bunch of freaks except for Kara-Louise and Shanessa - they're the two half decent ones out of the lot!

Well ideally I'd drop the majority of them but when you have only two then you have to choose carefully. I don't know what Liam contributes to the show. At least the twins have their moments.

The twins are ok , i mean they are not exactly talking points out here but when they do get air time, they do seem to be funny.

Brian - now i hope he does not win. I've convinced myself he is playing the biggest game, surely the guy doesnt talk like that in real life? For someone who can get online and watch BBOZ is not a thick person. Please people dont fall for it! Laughing

And what sort of a message is this sending out the nation's youth? Especially coming from the same broadcaster that is contractually required to provide educational programming.

Good Big Brother themed Screenburn today, from Charlie Brooker.

Charley's name is fitting, because listening to her ceaseless self-centred rambling is PRECISELY like listening to a dreary cokehead chewing your ear off at 3am with a punishing soliloquy about what they're like and what they think and what the really great thing about them is.

Frighteningly, Charley's not on coke. Can you IMAGINE what she'd be like if she was?
