Thank-you Gerry Much

No surprise from this past Friday's Big Brother eviction a seriel manhater/moaner and all round BB Bore Nicki Maxwell got the boot.

She was up against token camp bloke Gerry The Greek who in reality stood little chance of being booted out.

The action over the last seven days has predictably focused on Charley, who in a stroke of genius bordering on Machiavellian proportions, managed to convince her fellow dullards that she was worshipped by the Great British public. Unsurpisingly, 'Mugs R' Us, her fellow housemates, fell for the play hook line and sinker - and as a result were too afraid to nominate the South Islington IT girl. To her credit the devious plan was executed very quickly and somewhat convincingly and this sterling piece of con-artistry may even save her for another week. Sadly the 'my cousin plays for Man United' routine will have to be dropped on her eventual exit, as her Kieran Richardson, the poor beggar who is related to this freak, has been shipped off to the all together less glamourous, ahem, Sunderland. One wonders if Ziggy and friends will as impressed with the hospitality seats at the Stadim of Shite as they would have been by promises of all expenses paid tickets to Old Trafford.....

Meanwhile, Ziggy and Channelle's on/off romance has cumulated in a cold shower together and reports in the media suggest his Ziggyness has a 'secret girlfriend' in the 'outside world.' The Yorkshire Terrier will not like that when she finds out.

Other highlights of the week include a stand up row between good old Brian and, you guessed it, Charley. As if things couldn't get worse for Bri, after a row with his former friend, he was then treated to a hair cut more ridiculous than his previous one.

Wit of the week has to go to the fan with the 'Brian Storm' sign at Fridays's live eviction- see what they did there....

William Hill are tipping the #1 Essex Boy to romp home the contest with his odds now standing at 1/2 on. If the dumbass thing is an act then he has played a blinder. If it's not then he's gonna need the prize money. All of it.

Go Brian!

Poo Flushed, Charley & Nikki Face Fake Friday

So the secret is out and so is actress Thaila Zucchi. 'Pauline' has been revealed as a fake and has left the asylum. Most of the housemates were sorry to see her go, well most except Charley who branded her a bitch. Amusingly Charley branded her fellow housemates 'mugs' for falling for Pauline's tricks, ironic words indeed from the girl who believed that Pauline had psychic powers and could see the future via a half eaten hamburger......

Even more pleasingly the fake eviction pencilled in for Friday pits Charely against bosom buddy Nicky. With this being a fake eviction, the exit interview will run as normal only for Davina to inform the fallen housemate that they are heading straight back into the BB ranch. The twist being the other housemates will get to watch the interview on a plasma. For sheer comedy value it has to Charley who gets the interview - she will bitch like no other and then have to return to face the music. Friday night promises fireworks indeed.

G'Day Pauline! Laura Out! Ziggy & Chanelle Go Pop!

Plenty to report in our latest BB Blog entry as Pauline enters the house, Laura is ejected and the Ziggy/Chanelle love-in comes to a premature end.

There were no surprises on Friday as the bookies backed the right horse and Laura was promptly ejected to a mixed reaction. If there was anything of interest to report from her exit interview then we would comment on it. Sadly there wasn't.

Moving away from the Shrek look-a-like we can now tell you all about the more aesthetically pleasing Pauline (left). Except she isn't actually called Pauline, no, her real name is Thaila Zucchi and her real occupation is that of a jobbing actress. 'Pauline' has been sent in on a secret mission to hoodwink the housemates, her 'tasks' include pretending to be Australian, pretending to be psychic and having to call Brian 'Ryan' - a bit like the old Only Fools gag with Trigger and Rodney.

So far she is just about scraping by. While some of the less intellectual housemates have been taken in, you know who you are Ryan, others are already beginning to smell a rat. Wily old bi-sexual Carole is the first to clock that all may not be as it seems and has already worked out it's a set-up. Which is good news for the housemates. Because if Carole acts on her hunch then the housemates win this weeks shopping task. If they somehow fail to rumble the Ozzie (actually a Swindoner) then they lose the task. Should be interesting.

Meanwhile, over in lovers lane, Ziggy and Chanelle have decided to call time on their relationship. The Posh and Becks of BB have driven each other to breaking point and following a stream of arguments the affair is now well and truly off.

Our money is on the Zigster to make a move for Pauline/Thaila in the coming days. It would be worth it just to see Chanelle's face.

BB8 Latest - Bookie's tip Taffy for the axe

According to the bookmakers the Great British Public will opt to save Posh Spice wannabe Chanelle and decide to get rid of the not so loveable Laura for the fourth BB eviction.

Laura started out as one of the favourites, but her recent behaviour; mainly consisting of two faced jibes, whining and shouting has failed to endear her to the voters. She is also quite the sight without her make-up on.

While Chanelle isn't the most popular candidate on the outside world, there is a genuine interest in her relationship with his Ziggyness and it seems that many women have sympathy for Posh, sorry, Chanelle, who it seems is being strung along by the serial womaniser.

Meanwhile, one of the token older housemates departed of his own accord as Jonathan left the BB house. Sadly his grandmother passed on and he decided he couldn't miss the funeral. Quite right too. He seemed a decent sort and it's a testament to the chap that he didn't have any nominations this week.

The housemates also passed this weeks 7 sins task, well all except Charley, whose punishment was to be locked away in the sin-bin while her housemates partied on!

All in all not a bad week for BB.

Brian and Liam are the firm favourites to win at the moment but there is still a long way to go.

Billi Gets Bullet - No Surprise

The bookies get it right once again and the Big Brother dream is over for another housemate. Billi (left) failed to capture any public support and succeeded in turning over the half the house again as his strategy went the way of the pear. Cheerio old bean.......

Next week the smart money is surely on Charley barring another 'save' from Big Brother. Get ready for a lynching......

Seany Out, Geordie Wins £100K & Brian Wets The Bed

Another interesting week from the Big Brother 8 House.

Seany boy got the chop in Friday's eviction after failing to win over the voting public - strangely despite claiming he was a gay man, his family are now rubbishing these claims and say it was just a strategy he employed to get into the house.

The show winner may not be announced for many moons yet, however Geordie Tree Surgeon Liam appears to be the clear winner so far - he's already won the £100K prize money. He's also enjoying a love triangle with self proclaimed IT Girl Charley (left) and Nikki (formerly a 'man hater').

Meanwhile, Ziggy has finally got jiggy with Chanelle (according to the papers anyway) and poor old Brian has managed to wet the bed.

Also, Brian and Charley both confessed to not knowing who Shakespeare was.

We kid you not.

Nominations to follow.........

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.
