What a stupid spoilt individual. As for Nikki, well thats her character but Grace...? I mean, how pathetic and rude can you get! Mad

"Boring old hag" Grace stop it now! Carry on like that and you're a certainty for eviction.

I like Susie personally.



Tonight's show is a typhical example - both Grace and Nikki were both equally vile towards Susie - yet Grace comes out of it worse than Nikki (who actually appeared to instigate alot of it ).

Both act in a very similar way - it's the public perception which is interesting. As I said before class has far more to do with it than we like to admit, while also the way they express their opinions. Grace is usually clear and to the point, while Nikki goes off on a rant - and therefore comes across more humerously, taking the edge off what she is saying.

Having said that though, it is definately Grace to go this week. At the moment you just can't imagine BB without Nikki, and at this stage Grace going will give a bigger boost to her allies than her remaining in the house ever would.


I can't believe how many of you lot though are falling for Richard's ways. He just really annoys the hell out of me - one of those people who makes you want to throw the TV out the window! I guess he's only wearing his hats at the moment to stop him getting stuck up Susie's arse!

His constant accusation of bullying everytime there is a disagreement in the house really p*** me off too. He was correct tonight in his analysis of the situation, but it's like the boy who cried wolf - he accuses someone of bullying virtually daily!

It's quite ironic how in the first week when everyone said he was bullying Shahbaz I actually defended his behaviour.


And re: Davina - she's professional and her interview with Sezer was the best interview in a long time. She showed him quite clearly why he got the boot, and he got a fair right of reply.

It's also important they are respected for what they put into the show (unpopular HMs probably do far more for the show than the popular ones!) - and I'd much rather see an interview like this than one like Makosi's last years when the most interesting HM in a long time didn't get the chance to justify herself because of the Elstree mobs!


Will you just stop with your constant praising for Grace (eh?). I can't say I'm really a fan of Nikki - due to her constant child-like behaviour. But Grace is manipulative... Nikki isn't. Nikki will go along for the ride if it makes sure she gets entertainment - and in truth, I bet she appreciated Susie nominating her as it meant she could put the silly poor me act on again.

People aren't stupid, Brekkie.


Yeah i cant see what people find so wonderful about Grace either - at least Nikki is entertaining!

Brekkie - you wont say its a fix if Grace is evicted this week will you? Laughing Laughing only joking....i know everyone has their opinions, but can you see where the majority of us are coming from?

Bitching is fine , but the way she does, the fact that she is oblivious to it, she thinks she is it, her reaction to being nominated (including Nikki) was appaling, stealing the wine (along with Nikki) was childish, she is cold, calculating and manipulative - i was watching it tonight and i was just screaming at the tv.

Now Nikki - she was just as bad as Grace tonight, but Nikki is different from Grace. Nikki at some points can be a source for entertainment, and thats what we want, well i want, dont know about the rest of you lol.

Ok, Grace is playing the game to high standards - but come on - can you really, really play a game in there - i dont think you can

OK - moving on from the Grace issue...


Marcus Bentley - in the past couple of years, BB6 and CBB4 especially, his over-narration has really irritated me but this year I'd thought he'd got it about right and was allowing the show to run alot more naturally with less interuption!

Until this weekend at least - he's back to his old self, over narrating, continously repeating rules of tasks (i.e. the nominations, the Waiting Game) - and also he came in rather too loud at the end of tonight's show with the eviction details (and I wish they'd cut out the reminding us who's up for eviction and just go straight to "Who Goes - You Decide!" like they used too!


P.S. Also loving Big Brain - probably my favourite spin-off at the moment.

If only BBLB could be that good everyday (and it used to be at one point). It's probably even worse this year as all the psych stuff seems to have been dropped from it with the arrival of Big Brain. It needs to get back to the behind the scenes stuff rather than celebrity opinions!

I don't even bother with BBLB any more - it's just the same old stuff over and over again. On the other hand, Big Mouth and Big Brain are going from strength to strength. Besides, these two spin-off shows have kind of been "de-merged" from BBLB anyway, taking the psychological element as you say, and much of the discussion/interaction element. That doesn't leave much of a purpose for Little Brother.

I reckon they should scrap the weekday shows, and only have one hour-long show each Sunday. At least that way the quality would be higher. They can't scrap it all together, because it's needed for the extra housemate interviews and the beginning/end of series hype etc.

BBLB has run out of gas since it started. I think his first guest was Avid Merrion (Leigh Francis).

From BB3 - The first ever BBLB....

Last night, i could have sworn that Mikey said to Pete that he did hear the chant - get grace out - because he asked Pete if they were chanting because of his and hers relationship in the house

- Correct me if im wrong

I watched BB last night and couldn't belive the behaviour of Grace and Nikki. It's absolutely disgraceful the way they're treating Suzie, with their pleas that they've been hard done by. She had to vote for someone!

Nikki annoys me beyond belief. Her dramatic diary room soliloquy last night ("there's venom coming from my eyes", "I don't even want to look at IT ") was absolutely grotesque. Then again Grace is just as bad, and I think there's one key difference - Nikki, while arrogant and irritating, seems somehow vulnerable and unstable, whereas Grace is clearly a strong woman with her head screwed on who is just being completely vindictive.

SO... I think on balance Grace should go, but frankly it would be great to be able to vote them both out. I wonder if we could find a way...! Laughing

so it's grace and nikki up for eviction, I thought it was grace and lea, always was cr:ap with names.

I'll go with the majority and say grace, nikki is a bit naive and provides a bit of amusement but doesn't seem to offend anybody. grace seems so far up her own rear exit they need to send in a search party.

wow i just realised how gross that sounds Shocked

So she's finally cracked. Grace has "slept with" Mikey and perfoming in a way so everyone knows about it. Desperate or what....reminisance of Saskia from BB6 tonight i thought.

As for Nikki, she doesn't know whether she's coming or going with her "acting" but at least she isn't spiteful like Grace.

Bye Grace. Rolling Eyes

I could have sworn it was Grace who said she would not get involved in any activity like that because she teaches 7yr olds to dance...now she either has a forgetful memory or is deluded

I actually like BBLB. Dermot just makes it a great show with his humour and Jerry Springer was good today.

I agree about the lack of behind-the-scenes and psychological stuff though. I think more camera runs and "examining" the housemates will make it better.

And for goodness sake stop playing the BBLB News sweeper BEFORE the news. It was always exciting when Dermot said "Now we start as we always do... with Little Brother's Big News", swoosh then the music started. I know they play the jingle so Dermot can go up against the suit but it spoils the flow.

To sum up - scrap Big Brain, do less celebrity chat and go behind the scenes on BBLB (like talking to the voice of Big Brother etc). I definitely don't want to see BBLB being scrapped - just back to the old days.
