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.

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.

Nominations Confirmed

Tubby Taffy is favourite to win Big Brother 8

Laura (left) is the early favourite to triumph in the Summer of Bruv according to the bookies.

At 13/2 she is the red hot favourite to walk away with the crown. If the Tubby Taffy is to go the distance then history is certainly not in her favour - with only 2 previous female winners (even one of them was really a bloke), the British public rarely back a female. They also rarely back a Welsh horse, despite the popularity of BB Legends Helen and Glynn (both Welsh), neither of them could beat their counterparts to secure a Big Brother victory.

Our advice - keep your money in your pocket and wait for the influx of blokes this Friday as the winner is bound to come from this pool of newcomers.

The only chap in the house at the moment - Ziggy - definitely has BB also-ran written all over. The public already perceive him as shallow and boring and his early affections for wag wannabe Chanelle should seal his fate as an early loser.

Luckily for Ziggy (real name Zac) can't be axed this Friday due to show stipulations. The red hot favourite to be dismissed by the voting masses is Charley who is 8/13 for the axe. Her only saving grace may be that Ziggy keeps her in. If you fancy a pre nominations dabble then look no further than OAP Lesley who has failed to gel with fellow housemates - the old goat is 11/2 for the chop.

Based on the early evidence, a good each way bet for the victory must surely be Carole, who is 8/1 to win and while she probably won't she must be a fair bet to come in the top 3 (providing she doesn't become so intellectually starved that she walks out). The public love nothing more than an eccentric and the bi-sexual protestor most certainly is that - see this hilarious entrance video for further confirmation:
