Celebrity Big Brother

[aquarius moon]

Will anybody else admit to watching this?

And if so...

What are your thoughts so far?

[Annette Curtain]

Is that the show with the great big tall gay guy from Essex on there ?

Wassiss-name from that singing show.

[maxxi]

No but I did see that Billie Piper girly on Graham Norton and she seemed to have a biscuit crumb stuck to her upper gum so frantically was she massaging it with her tongue. Poor lass.

[DJKillaQueen]

I will hold my hand up and admit to watching Aquarius!

In fact I think all celeb BB viewers should come out and be proud :D

Thoughts so far? They are all bonkers as usual. They must have really slashed the budget this year if Spidey are the best they can do from over the pond?

[Jeremy]

I just looked up the lineup.

It's a pretty interesting concept... putting in a celebrity with 9 random members of the public and see what happens.

[*Bob*]

You still get a couple of hits out of the opening show or two, but then it's time to switch.

Loving the really cheap furnishings this year. And Brian Dowling really has taken his presenting skills to a whole new level this time round. And you've got to hand it to Five: Paula, rejected by C4 for a previous series on psychological grounds is already enjoying a few demeaning meltdowns on camera. Good work, Five!

We watched something on BBC4 afterwards to try and get rid of that grubby feeling.

[Otta]

I too just looked up the line up. Razor Ruddock and Gillian Taylforth is a match made in Hell.

[DJKillaQueen]

LOL Jeremy. Struggling to figure out who the lone celebrity is though ;)

Me too!

I counted four!

[Jeremy]

Surely Frankie Dettori is the only genuine household name.

[PaulK]

You all love it really.

[MrBen]

Is it just unemployed or the elderly that watch more of this $hite. Or are there really sane hard working people out there watching it as the perfect remedy to a hard days toil? Just wondering....

[red devil]

I watched a lot of the first series, Nasty Nick et al, afterall it was a new genre then. But now everyone knows what to expect...wannabe celebrities, and celebrities who wannabe...

19 million people watched Gillian Taylforth as Cathie. Probably a few more than watch horse racing.

[*Bob*]

And she gobbled someone off on the A1 slip road*.

Is that committing an offence? I'm not sure if it's covered by the highway code.

*NB Taylforth claimed that her partner had suffered an acute attack of pancreatitis and she was merely massaging his stomach to soothe his abdominal pain. She lost the libel case.

[RosieH]

Oh *Bob*, you've gone and lowered the tone.

On a Celebrity Big Brother thread...

[*Bob*]

Just looking through The Code now.

I expect Gillian's defence was in reference to 'first aid on the road', but it pleased the court to put her actions more under the heading of 'techniques for drivers and riders'.

I have it on good authority that she gave the appropriate arm signal.

Apparently she has no problems reversing in tight corners...

[*Bob*]

Interestingly, the best-selling British book was the Highway Code - until recently overtaken - by 50 Shades of Grey. Fact.

So in many ways, Gillian was somewhat ahead (so to speak) of her time in trying to combine the two.

bit harsh on the (sane) unemployed and the elderly there, no? you missed out stay at home parents and students...

[DJKillaQueen]

On demand services mean that even the fully employed can watch at their convenience ;)

I'm not unemployed, not elderly, not a stay at home parent & not a student.

I may not be completely sane, but I do work hard....

And I never miss an episode!

[uncleglen]

I know a perfectly sane psychologist who watches BB every time. Myself- it's the only programme on tv that has ever made me feel physically sick with boredom. I thought they were not going to waste any more money on it.

[aquarius moon]

Felt quite sad for Paula.

Read in the paper today that her best friend is a coconut.

She sounds as eccentric as me!!

:)

[aquarius moon]

Rylan to win!

Didn't want him to win X Factor as it was a singing competition, & good singers were voted off, while he stayed.

However, CBB is about entertaining, personality & likeability & he has it all.

Also the most genuine.

AC, Hope you are reading this. It's the first thing we have in common! :)
