Celebrity Big Brother 2007

From the BBC article:

"She has decided to move to Los Angeles in the new year and said she believes the Californian city will provide a safer environment than Cardiff."

What the fuck is wrong with people? I must admit that I don't understand transexualism myself, but I wouldn't go round beating people up over it :mad:
 
How can someone fail the psychological tests to get on BB and then still be allowed to go on? Surely this is dangerous?

I don't know but I think it's a really really bad idea.
She's a fruitcake - the C4 prog on her was pretty disturbing - it seemed that Harries was uncertain about her sexuality and her mother pressured her into having a sex change. Her parents are vile dishonest exploitational cunts, even if that isn't true
 
Lauren has already been on one reality TV show - it was last year when a load of (not) celebrities had to learn how to be hairdressers and beauticians - think it was on 5, and I didnt mean to watch it honest, its just whenever I switched on there it was!

She wasn't particularly bonkers on that, just very very very annoying in a selfish and melodramatic sort of way - definitely not in the same league as Shebaz, but she is somewhat "unaware of self", I'd say.

I really think this is going too far down the weird/fucked up/sadistic route....

The reason why she is so fucked up was cos she was a 'child genius' (what a hideous concept!) and went to Oxford when she was like 10 or something. And her parents really pressurised her, and she's clearly OFF. THE. WALL. And deeply damaged. I think it's quite cruel, tbh.

I know I'm going to be looking through my hands at this tonight.

Han this person is no genius. There was a brilliant expose of the whole family sometime back.

I agree this person has been very clearly screwed up by her very strange parents.

Yep I read about the Keith Allen documentary, and that she wasn't really a genius after all.

Still, I think it's quite :( that she will be used for her freak-value, and probably mocked whilst in there.

I hope she'll be ok. However much of a con-artist she was in the past, she's hardly going to fit in and will therefore be a candidate for being thrown to the lions, as it were....

Best thing by a long way, you're right - it was fun, simple, everyone was laughing, and the grin on JJ's face at the end was priceless. Exactly what BB should be about.

Watching the live feed now the task looks a bit over-designed, but it hasn't started yet. The older HMs look less than thrilled. If only Leo was here to throw what would undoubtably be the mother of all celebrity strops. :(

That was it, Keith Allen, couldn't remember his name, though I could see his face. I don't like Keith Allen much to be honest but I thought that documentary was in the public interest and very well made. I think the whole family buy all their qualifications online. The whole family are Doctors of this and that several times over.

Agree though, they'll only put her in to totally take the piss. They shouldn't do that with people as delicate as she is.

No she's fucked up because she was homeschooled by a pair of cultish-like mind-fucking parents (allegedly, like), who make David Icke look like Norm Chomsky. Keith Allen walked off the documentary he was filming because he couldn't take them. Her stuff about Antiques was fed to her by her parents to make him/her appear clever. Poor guy really.
 
To those who think there's been racism in the House...

Just an idea. But Davina mentioned a Fax in the wall, where the public will be able to ask the housemates difficult questions.

Why not submit questions along the lines of: "Jo, do you think it is racist to immitate Shilpa's accent in that way?"

Then (if the question is selected) we'd be able to judge her/their reactions.

He'd have probably done it commando style, knowing how sensitive he is about his pantaloons.

I think a more poignant question like 'What the HM's views on bullying are' or 'Would you step in if you witnessed someone being bullied?.....The witches of Eastwick may miss the point but it would resonate with the others.

We need to construct a good question, but will they ask it?
 
They FAILED the task for being too slow btw, although everyone seemed to give it a proper go. The oldies had a few problems getting under the nets, Ian and Jack were very fast, Danielle's dress fell down, and Shilpa looked like she'd gone into shock by the end of it all.

Is it time for a 3rd eviction *oddsflash!*? I think it is...

Danielle: 3.55
Jack: 3.7
Jade: 4.3
Shilpa: 5.4
Dirk: 12.5
Jo: 26.0
Jermaine: 40.0
Any Other: 50.0
Ian: 55.0
Cleo: 100.0

Warning: no procedure for the 3rd eviction has been announced yet, so tread carefully. If there are normal nominations (fat chance!) then Shilpa will be up, plus Dirk (probably). Jo is the lowest-profile member of the witch's coven and should fly under the radar, whilst Danielle looks vulnerable and WILL be evicted if nominated. Jade looks a little short at 4.3 and I've laid accordingly - Endemol still love her and her fee (while not in the Shilpa/Dirk/Jermaine league) is bound to be high, these people do like to get bang for their buck iyswim.
I'd be amazed to see a Dirk-Shilpa battle for this reason alone - vulnerable expendables (ie low-fee and unpopular) at the moment include Danielle and Jack and one of them WILL be in the eviction mix. Both of them are potential/actual embarrassments for Endemol too, with accusations of racism and bullying filling the papers.

Of course, they could just pick straws or have them standing on a box all day or something, that's why the eviction markets are so volatile and exciting. Have fun! ;)
 
I think they need to get rid of gentle, decent people like Jermaine, Dirk and Cleo. Stick in more people like Danielle in. I dont know, bring back Maxwell, get Stacey off Eastenders in with that Danny Dyer and the one who goes out with the blonde Sugerbabe.

Then you wouldnt mind watching all the bullying and nastiness unfold.

Funnily, I just clicked on that story on the Beeb news website, and the page wasn't found, so I went over to Guardian Unlimited, and got the same thing. Some kind of legal shenanigans going on? The Beeb page is back up, after, I suspect, some quick alterations - namely what was said in a "private" conversation between Jack and Jade.

I had to go to the Calcutta Times to get a version including what Jack Tweedy is supposed to have said, ie "Shilpa is a fucking Paki".

Hmm. Mind you, Shilpa's legal representative seems to be a very forgiving soul... read the article!
