Awwww Shocked Rolling Eyes I liked Chanelle. She was perhaps too sweet and innocent to put up with it all.

I see Channel 4 are now reporting it as fact!

Bye Chanelle Rolling Eyes


Wouldn't bet on it, they said she'd walked yesterday too Rolling Eyes

But yesterday they didn't update the scrolling housemate thing at the top and they have now. I think she has gone for good.

I quite liked channelle

Well she has definatly gone this time, only thing that peed me off was her going-not going-going routine, but it seems shes finally bitten the bullet and went (if thats the right words?)

It looks like only one person has gone into the halfway house, and Ziggy nominated himself to go into the halfway house.

Yes, but her on-off decisions was probably down to persuasive producers. They don't screen it, but the producers usually say suggestive things to housemates. E.g. Jade Goody - producers hinted to Jade that opinions in the outside world may have hardened against her. The producers in the case of Chanelle, used the clever tactic (supposedly) of telling her to stay in the house until her parents arrive. Effectively, they kept her there against her own will, probably for the sake of ratings.

The diary room persuasion trying to get Chanelle to stay is incredible. Its like they've lost all tactics. I sometimes wish the twins would grow up as well.

Anyway, at least today she's finally gone. I can't honestly bear anymore of the 'Chiggy' on/off relationship.

The only halfway housemates I like are Amy and David. Shanessa? Well I think its clear what she wants to go in the house for!

The producers really were desperate and pathetic in deceiving Chanelle into staying. It was obvious she'd made up her mind - and all they achieved was an extra 24 hours of footage and making themselves look - well, desperate and pathetic.


Yes, she was a big character and in theory losing her and Charley so quickly would damage the show - but in reality Charley is already long forgotten and the attention at the moment at least as shifted onto the Halfway Housemates.

It really angered me when they started saying...''Percentage-wise, how sure are you that you want to stay?'' Then they were even more cunning when Chanelle said she wanted Betsy...the producer suddenly jumped at the chance and blurted...''You want Betsy?''

They also had smaller tactics, such as making a scene about Chanelle's suitcase. They didn't need to announce the ''storeroom is now open for CHANELLE TO COLLECT HER SUITCASE'' on the tannoy!

And then they asked her to talk to a psychologist. There's nothing wrong with Chanelle. She just wanted to leave!

I understand that the BB contestants have access to Psychologists all the time. It is a very stressful situation which I would not wish to endure.

As for Chanelle's departure, I haven't seen it but can only imagine it was difficult for her since there are only a few weeks to go. I thought she could've won, if not come 2nd.

That Jonty is a strange one. I can't see him making it into the main house. If he does get in i bet the HMs will sleep with one eye open.


He's not much worse than Gerry.

It's all getting a bit surreal lately. I almost expected a spontaneous chorus of 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' as Ziggy marched towards the Diary Room.
