It's Day 64 in the Big Brother house...tonight the nightmare/dream will be over for another year.
Is anyone going to watch in the vain hope that someone other than Creepy Cam will win? Or do you still think that Silent Scott still has a chance? Or will Rocket Ray and Sneaky Steph come through at the last moment?
Who wins? Who cares?

An amazing bit of scheduling here... tonight's final night BBLB will not be shown on C4, in favour of, er, cricket. Although BBLB will be recorded live as usual at 1800, and transmitted on E4, viewers of C4 will get to see it at 0045, by which time the show's content will be out of date and largely irrelevant.
But here's the best bit. C4 say that "In the event of the cricket being cancelled or concluding early", Friends will be shown at 1800 instead (in the BBLB slot). Someone explain that to me.

Yup, they played Friends at 18:00 yesterday instead of BBLB.
Appauling scheduling choice for what is essentially their flagship summer show.

Surely for these two day's, after bblb has been shown for nine weeks, cricket should have been shown on E4 and BBLB on channel 4.
It's the usual everything on the schedule has to revolve around Sport and it's just not acceptable.
I might be wrong but I imagine that BBLB will get higher ratings than the cricket, so I can't see how channel 4 can justify what they're doing.
Imagine if this was the other way around. Sport not being shown because something else is already scheduled.
This is bad enough, but to show a repeat of a Friends episode when the cricket's cancelled is just unbelievable.
When will non-sports fans ever be considered?

Because Channel 4 spent a lot of money on cricket rights and have a responsibility. BBLB's getting annoying now anyway. I feel so sorry for Dermot who's trying to make an entertaining show from this abysmal series of BB.

I was willing the cricket to finish on time yesterday in the hope BBLB would be shown, but instead we got the very first Friends (how dated did that look?) It's been rained off today, so maybe C4 will see sense.
I don't see why they could have dropped Friends last Wednesday and this Wednesday to screen Hollyoaks, then dropped Hollyoaks yesterday and today to screen BBLB at 6.30pm. And when Your Face or Mine was on, they would cut from the cricket at 6pm, although since then have agreed the new cut off point is 6.30pm.
Re: tonights final. I found the 2001 final on tape the other day and watched it. With only three finalists, one was evicted midway through the first hour-long show, with the final ten minutes featuring BB talking live to the two finalists in the diary room. The second show had over half an hour of features before the winner was finally revealed, so their is plenty of time for the extra eviction there.
I think Jon will only get a very short interview at the beginning of the 8.30pm show.
Also, the rain could affect it. Last year Davina did most talking to the house from outside, but I expect alot of the action will come from the studio if it's as wet as it is here.
Finally, the latest RI:SE poll shows Cameron as favourite (40%), Ray has jumped to second (32%), Scott third (24%) and Steph in last place(4%).
I still think Cameron can be pipped at the post, as when Ray or Scott are evicted, I'm sure the majortiy of people re-voting would vote for one of these two.

According to Teletext, Jon will leave at 8.30pm via the diary room. The housemates won't know he has left the house (although the massive cheers could be a clue!) and will probably think he has just gone in for another marathon session.
Expect the next eviction at around 9pm, with third place revealed at 10.05pm and the winner revealed at around 10.25pm.

Anyone else watching BB on E4 at the moment? What the heck is that music they're piping into the house? It sounds like something you'd get on Ceefax! The poor souls!

Watched BBLB on E4, Nice to see Anouska and Tania there (So she decided to turn up). Tonights 2 shows look like good fun.
I am still unsure between Scott or Cam? I think Cam will do it. Can I just ask something about Cam. You know where Cam is from, would he get Scottish or Grampian region? I'm thick but its Grampian right? Well watched Scotland Today on Scottish TV today and they had this big phone in about who do you want to win, and they had a chat with his bro on the phone. Have Grampian bothered to talk about Cam and Big Bro 4? Scottish are always going on and on about it. I bet the main program at 6pm said something about it? Right? Did anyone watch it? Well I'm sure they did. Scottish could not even resist talking about Cam in the 10:55 quick news update this morning? From what I have seen, but I maybe wrong, Grampian are just not a***d about it all. Oh well never mind.
