Big Brother8 latest: Lesley walks, nominations in...

Time for a quick Big Brother update here on the blog with the two main stories over the last few days being that Lesley has walked away from the televised goldfish bowl and that this weeks nominations have been counted and verified.

Oldster Lesley decided life in the house just wasn't for her and packed her bags on Saturday to the surprise of, errr, no-one. If ever a housemate was a waste of space it was this woman. She failed to even contribute to the action in the house and frankly made for awful television. As a W.I. member, we expected an opinionated feminist battleaxe - sadly she didn't conform to type. Lesley also claimed to be a comediene - she must have left her sense back at the W.I. HQ because we saw absolutely no signs of a personality - let alone a sense of humour.

Far more interestingly, nominations are now in and the public hanging will have to be postponed for at least one more week because Charley has dodged the bullet for yet another week.

Typically 3 of the more entertaining housemates are facing peril as Carole, Tracey and Shabnam will face the dreaded public vote. I fear for Shabnam, because it looks like her number could be up as Tracey and Carol seem to be quite popular with the Great British public. Shabnam hasn't had an easy ride thus far in the house - she was stripped of her make-up because Ziggy and Emily broke the rules and was also up for nomination last week. Despite her blatant weirdness she is one of the more likeable younger housemates, which granted, isn't difficult.

Sadly for Shab, she isn't nearly as weird as Tracey and Carole, whose eccentricities should see them through. Carole is reality TV gold and would be a big loss to the viewer and the house itself. My personal favourite to go would be Tracey - she brings little to the table and isn't as wrecked as Bez (Celeb BB winner) to make a worthwhile impact.

Watch this space for more housemate based banter.
