Which excludes all the housemates!
Come to think of it, they did say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ;)

Science more so than anyone in there by a long shot.... just see the way he acted just now saying " do I look bothered?" "Science the great" "I can do whatever, whenever, to whoever I want"

Words of a true cock.
 
I thought Derek was a slimey little fucker tonight, getting Science to spell "Menthol" in the quiz...

Anyhoo, Science's odds are sinking fast - bad edit for him tonight. I got a fair bit on before they hit rock bottom, but missed the boat there really - he was 4/1 yesterday. Tsk self.
I don't expect Orla to win, but with the editing tonight I do expect her odds to rise above evens at some point. Endemol need to drum up a bit of business for the text/phone votes.

Game on! :)

lol all this "bad edit" talk makes me laugh... what the fuck makes you think that's that Big Brother purposely edit in favour of certain people. The paranoia and suspicion on this forum is more rife than in the BB house!!!

Hardly. It's like this:

Endemol make a lot of money through text/phone voting. A LOT of money. When housemates are particularly loved/hated, or when the public believe an eviction will be hotly-contested, they will vote more. Some deluded fools out there will vote twenty or thirty times if they think it will make a difference.
Conversely, when the vote is seen to be a foregone conclusion fewer people bother to vote, meaning less money for Endemol. This is obviously a situation to be avoided.
By cross-referencing day-to-day posts on ds with the highlights show (the work of a few minutes) it's easy to see what's being shown and what isn't: what the spin is, if you will.

This all affects the betting market. The odds on Science (in this case) fell after the highlights show. Orla's rose. This was as a direct consequence of the editing of the show. The BB market is very sensitive to manipulations of each character's "brand" from Endemol, and (if you're astute enough) it's quite easy to make a lot of money from knowing this. If the bad editing of Science continues and Orla's odds continue to rise as a result of this then lots of people will be very happy.

Me included. :)

But he's a complete cock!

The reason people gang up on hi is cos he gives them every reason to! He is completely incapable of forging any kind of relationship with anyone and he has got it into his head that people like him for his ability to be a cock, not that people either feel sorry for him for the way they percieve he is being picked on or simply hate the others more!

Yeah but he's really fit. Speaking of which, Makosi looked AMAZING tonight in her little orange dress.

I don't understand why Derek getting Science to spell out menthol was so evil. What have I missed?

He's been constantly bitching about Science's allegedly appalling personal hygiene and bad breath. Amongst many other things...

Bad Derek. :D
 
Makosi isn't pregnant I see. According to the Heat magazine interview, taking the morning after pill is against her religion (which is why she didn't do it).

And Michelle and Stuart from BB5 *may* have split up after he got upset over her glamour modelling.

I hope Science goes, he's been acting like complete prick this last week, and all he seems to do is shout at people the whole time. Which is incredibly annoying and he has to be one of the most inconsiderate people I've ever seen.

Oh please - how naive!

You honestly think they don't edit it.

LOL.

:D well, with probably 18 hours of footage per contestant, per day precised down to 50 mins, that suggests quite a bit of editing :p

Science to win!
 
I've got a theory where Science is concerned.

The way he flies off the handle (even more than he normally does) when someone tells him to shut up is very revealing. It is pretty obvious to me at least that the guy has a complex about never having been taken seriously when he was younger. I can just imagine the school boy Science being told to shut it by his teachers and peers, regardless of what he has to say. Over the years his resentment toward this has built itself up into the cuddly Big Brother contestant we know and love today.

Is my pop psychology wide of the mark?

I'm not sure it goes that far but I agree to an extent - I think. I still can't fathom why a boy with a brain, obviously interested in a musical career, thinks he will be taken any more seriously as a musician after appearing on BB. 'At the end of the day' even those who could sing or play a bit in tyhe past aren't earning a living from it. He probably has more chance than Michelle Bass though.

Another thing I've picked up on is when he talks about girls in his past. He'll say things along the lines of 'Yeah I've had girls/been in love/had my heart broekn' but always remained vague about it. It just makes me think he hasn't actually had a serious girlfriend at all as I've seen similar behaviour from other blokes before when put on the spot. I've never heard him talk about specific incidents in the way Max and Ant have and theres been no kiss and tells either.

Not laughing at him about it for a second (if true of course) but I'm surprised no one has picked up on it. I may have missed some huge discussion about an ex of course.

And whetehr it was true or not, they'll all get some play when its over (even Craig).

That seems pretty much on the money, Echo.

There have, it was only a small story in a Sunday paper (I forget which one though, could have been, News of the World?) about him and this girl who claimed to have gone out with him for a couple of years. Apparently he was the best lover she's ever had!
 
Can anyone tell me if the things that the housemates are saying about orlaigh (ie, that she bitches behind peoples backs, that she is very scheming and trying to manipulate people, etc etc) actually true, because i haven't seen any evidence of this beyond what any of the other housemates are doing?

I feel quite sorry for orlaigh, actaully. She goes in and tries to make friends/ To fit in with makosi and vanessa, who openly bitch about everyone in the house, she is obviously going to agree with them in order to fit in, and now makosi has used these facts in order to get everyone else to vote for her..

Housemates who get put into the house late never really do that well (remember Becky from last year :D ?) I'm suprised Orla & Eugene have lasted this long really
 
I dont think she has been scheeming, all she has done (from what I've seen) is that she bitches with Makosi (ie about Kemal) She obviously doesn't like Science but then no-one does. She hasn't done anything that any of the others haven't done (and is nowhere near as bad as Makosi or Derek)
 
*odds flash*

The 8th eviction odds have now flipped on Betfair - Science is the new favourite to be evicted and Orla's odds are now trading at above 2.00

Anyone who put early money on Science to go should now lay off on Orla to go. And then relax.

Lovely. :)
