- Too many bland uninteresting characters - the twins, Laura, Nicky etc. Gerry and Seany are a turn off.


Bland is better than bad.At least the twins haven't threw plates around or anything.

"I don't want to get involved with this" - Carole, on the cooking-Nikki-fruit salad row.

So much for "here's your f*cking argument".

Bland over bad yes. We could have another Jade Goody. One attention seeking pig is enough for this country.

I'm getting properly p*ssed off with Charley "I Wanna Be A WAG."

F*cking little piece of sh*t. Quite literally.

I couldn't agree more with you. She's a horrible girl. I can't wait to see the back of her...

I know I say this every year, but I really wish the nomination discussion rule would be removed.
It's quite likely the fundamental format will need some sort of reviewing as they prolong the show for more series, and that won't just happen through more tacked-on twists that promise to define the series and then wither away after the first week or two.
Just taking this one rule away would create a very different dynamic without making it unrecognisable. There's always been a tribal element, but it's only ever allowed to be an implicit 'we won't nominate each other' unspoken affair. If this was allowed to really flourish, I think it could add an extra depth to the show, restore a game element that seems to be lost, and cause conflict a bit more interesting than 'it's not my fault there's a natural curl to my hair'.

Charley and Shabnam, how jealous are they of Chanelle and Ziggy? I can see Ziggy losing it before long. He's often getting to boiling point, then I think we'll see a side to him that's a bit off putting.

As someone mentioned earlier, Carole is not at all like she acted in her entry profile - all stubborn and ready for a fight. In fact, she's another who often seems on verge of breakdown.

Ideal scenario for this week is both Charley and Shabnam are up for eviction - and BB unveil the new "to evict both..." option!


Though of course the satisfaction on Friday wouldn't compensate for the loss of one of the main characters in Charley.


Shabnam is just a dull follower who doesn't have a personality of her own so latches on to Charley's at times.


I agree though about the lack of shopping tasks so far - they're getting worse and worse with these each year, often just reducing them to a couple of days right at the end of the week, leaving the show pretty empty from Sunday to Wednesday.

Also, with the Saturday show now axed there isn't time in the Sunday show to cover a "Saturday Challenge" - this week's underwater charades task was completly edited out.


I do like the way they're using the vestibule though for the nominations twist - though again it's a shame that we only see three or four of the interviews.

it got only 2.6 million viewers (11%) last night, trashed by Britan's Got Talent, which had 6.9 million. bizarre decision by CH4 to move it.

Very bizarre decision - not only moving it, but not really letting people know they've moved it. I'm sure a few will have expected it at 10pm last night.

I don't think though they'll be too worried yet - it's whether these viewers come back next week which is important.
