F..F...F...Friday!

Time for a weekly catch up.

OK GO - The task was passed and Luke has been saved from starvation. More on him in a separate blog entry as I need a good moan. That boy is truly driving me crazy. As for the task itself; I'm actually of the school of thought that found it a good 'un. I found Dale quite hot in his clashing red trousers and orange shirt. Rex looked like a turd but would have looked like an idiot in whatever he wore.

We have had the 'love square' with Sly old Sylvia loving everyone. Jen has played her game brilliantly by playing Dale along and ealier this week even making him believe he may have a chance. When she thought Sylvia realistically fancied him she looked relieved to be let off the hook only to be left disappointed when she found out Sylvia was joking. You could hear in her voice that tone of near tears - Oh if only the public would use their brains and keep her in but they will not. They will keep in the boring one who sits, sleeps, farts and eats......great.

What else has happened this week. Ah yes finally the jail has been used more for what BB producers said it would be used for. Practically everyone apart from Kat has been locked up there and she should be for her awful singing. - I wish she would sut up! Everytime I turn on to BB all I can hear is "Cookie love, Cookie love" or "When the saints go marching in" Please shut up Kat, it sounds as if someone is strangling a 'kat' and if this is the aim she's doing well. It is not my cup of tea.

Mario/Tangio and Lisa/Butch are still the Grandma and Grandpa of the house with Tangio driving me crazy with his health and safety comments and over exageration of how many people he now manages. It started at the beginning with 200 people and is now 500. By the end of the series it will be at a million. The funny thing is that the gruesome twosome are growing on me and I have no idea why? I can't stand the snogging and I am so pleased that BB has decided to stop showing them fumbling under the covers. I think they realise we do not want to see them. It is repulsive! They are not much older than me however it is still like watching my parents.

Luke, he has shown his colours with Darnell and Rachel seeing him for who he is (hooray). Jennifer is Jennifer(boring); Dale is just a face and body which I still like and do NOT want to see removed any time soon and if he is up for eviction there will be a Mutteroo campaign to keep him in. Bex is also growing on me, it is her tantrums and sulks that at first annoyed me and if she lived with me I would tell he to go to her room and not come down till she could behave. But what fun to keep her with those housemates - Ha ha. Rex is a sly bugger and beginning to show his true colours. Still think he's boring but we shall see. Dennis....an irritating Scottish gay man and I feel sorry for Scotland and gay men for the misrepresentation he is causing. Dennis out please he not doing anything bar gossip. [AS I WENT TO LOOK UP PHOTOS I DISCOVERED 'SPITGATE' AND PUT THIS ON EDIT. MY OPINIONS MAY HAVE CHANGED ON SOME HMs SINCE THIS ENTRY] Stuart, we shall see on that one. Great body though, shame about the face. Mo...zzzzzzzzzzzz. And as for Mikey? Great Diary Room entries but otherwise, waste of a place.

Fav this week - Darnell

Breaking News!

Is Jennifer turning into Lisa?

Take a look for yourself?











Dale will start turning ORANGE by WEEK FIVE! If they start lying at the other end of the bed with Tangio and Lisa, then we will know they are auditioning for the grandparents role in any upcoming stage production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Jen - Please remember your make up is fine as it is - Lisa is slapping it on and looks awful. Do not learn from experience, Lisa has it wrong and needs a lesson from a professional.

Grace Dent

It is essential for anyone who enjoys BB to read Grace Dent. She writes with such honesty and with great humour and Channel 4 have been sensible in getting her on board. I think she must have reading my blog (hehe), as she's in agreement with me about Alex and there's a love/loathe relationship with the woman. Like me she feels that although HMs may dislike Alex, they need her.

I really do not want Alexandra to be evicted on Friday but the general public will have their ounce of flesh and vote in their thousands.........As long as there are no problems with the phone line this time. Oh and of course we have to remember Alex does not stand a chance - Mario and Lisa have a fan club because of 'The Ant and Dec'......

I totally agree with the fabulous Grace and her giant orange man analogy of the giant orange man who will surely explode in a barrage of "Health and Safety", "Help Mikey!" and "I'm a facilitator" comments when he departs this earth. I would worry who he facilitates as facilitating means 'listening' not talking and he does a lot of that and most of it BS.

Would Mario be missed if he went on Friday - NO!

The only person who might miss him is Lisa and I doubt for very long. Her sexual needs would be met with her daily exercises which I'm sure already enables her to reach multi orgasmic status and probably why she undertakes such a strenuous routine? She's a clever and satisfied girl that one.

There's also another side to her which may only see if Mario gets booted out on Friday. We saw a snatch of that side in the Diary Room when she talked about Sylvia on last night's show. Quiet, demure, Lisa was basically saying "Don't cross me or I'll brake ya legs", and that spoke volumes for this supposed gentile middle aged woman. There is much more to Lisa than she is trying to portray and with Mario gone, who knows what may come out? - Lisa might be Leonard as we all have suggested all along!

Tuesday 10/6 Highlights and Lowlights

Bored with Mario/Lisa/Steph/Alex so it is nice to talk about the others for a change but I have to warn you I do HAVE to talk about Alex, Lisa and Mario a little……

Talked of Chip-gate in an earlier entry so that’s covered but Alex had another row with Mo which will be covered probably in Wednesday’s show. The poor soul (Mo)nabbed a ciggy and according to Alexandra this is theft and he should have his knackers chopped off. She did not say that - implied it and we know she is capable of looking at a man and removing his balls! Will not happen with Mo because Alex fancies him. Sexual frustration is causing her anger to rage and she does not know what to do with herself.

Mario and Lisa were called into the diary room for a champagne, strawberries, chocolate and cream fiesta to celebrate Mario's 43rd birthday. The look on Steph’s face when they left the haven of BB's womb, was a picture. She sat there sulking looking like my 15 year old when I have told her no she can’t have her allowance early;(or not at all) – Totally immature that girl (Steph not my daughter. Mario and Lisa who will now be called the cringing gruesome twosome after the embarrassing display which left me feeling like; “Urgh that’s like MY parents fumbling with each other” – And mine are dead. Lisa pranced around to ‘The Eye of the Tiger’ and Mario watched her cavorting, after all it was his birthday treat. These two know how to play the reality game incredibly well.

I feel I must say a quick mention to chip-gate as Alex compared them with “f*cking herself”. I have never compared the two or tried it with a chip and do not have the urge to but thanks for the tip Alex.

Sylvia, Dennis and Dale have become Alex’s little followers, or were on Monday night. Dale-Nice-But-Dim had nothing much to say but let's be honest he is there to look at and not for stimulating conversation. It is like the lights are on with no one at home and therefore he makes a great follower for a dictator. Looks sweet in Jen's hat here. Wonder how long it will be before he makes a move on her? Probably have to ask permission from Alex first.

The argument over chip-gate was a remarkable piece of control by Alex. Yes she bitched and yes she bullied a little to get her point across but she held court and she has complete control over every person there. Alex even told Rex “You are doing the cooking whether he wants to do it or not”. She told Rebecca that they were having a "conversation" but told her if she did not like what she had to say then “See ya”. In other words Alex’s word is gospel and she is the boss of that house and has taken discrete control from under everyone's feet.

Stephanie stood up to Alex which I was impressed with and up until I saw this I had decided I would like to see her go on Friday. I have now changed my mind…..Bye bye Mario especially after watching the live feed at 0103am Wednesday morning. More on that in another post.

Big Brother stepped in before Alex went to bed and slapped her hand; “BB takes unacceptable behaviour in the house ex seriously". Alex is completely aware of what, “Bullying aggressive, intimidating or demeaning behaviour" is and considers her behaviour towards Steph, Rebecca and Rachel was acceptable. BB went on to remind her that; “Of course conflicts may arise” and she must, “take responsibility for boundaries.” Can’t see that happening. Alex may be clever, never the less, she is unable to see her own behaviour and how it affects others around her.

My issue is why can’t the housemates deal with her themselves? The reason we know is that the housemates have been selected deliberately NOT to cope and is this right and proper because we the public, are generally enjoying it. The housemates are either weak or non committal and have much to learn about themselves over the summer. This is why I watch BB. I love the psychology of it all – I don’t think the HMs are too keen on the ‘disputes’ when Alex opens her gob.

Most the housemates are beginning to show their true selves. Kat is a bubbly personality; Luke is fabulous and very clever; Mikey is thoughtful and sensitive; Darnell is strikes me as sly, devious and bit of a male bitch. Why come on a show if you've never watched it? Story does not add up; Mario knows how to play the game; Lisa is savvy but there's a sensitive side; Sylvia is confused, Dale does not think because you need a brain for that; Steph has now found her brain and is feisty and finding true self; Dennis is a pillock and a follower, Nothing more to say; Jen is a fairly intelligent wannabee, sees this as her chance to gain fame; Rachel is driven. She may have a quiet demeanor however, her acting skills could be used to give her a greater advantage over other HMs and I think they have been and will be; Mo is quiet the only one I have not worked out; Alex is a control freak; Rex is well educated and at the moment sitting back and biding his time. There is a lot more to come with him; Rebecca - nearly forgot her, she's an enigma to me too. Possibly a nice girl and that is it, there are such people after all?

Mario - Sleazeball, Bully, K**bhead (Allegedly)

He has a d*ck the size of a ............. No not a story from the Sun but from The Sunday Mirror only so a teeny weeny bit more tasteful.......much like the size of Mario's anatomy.

Geoff Appleton is Mario's 75-year-old father in law but wishes he wasn't. He dislikes his daughter's taste in her latest choice so much that he's decided to sell his side of the story. Doubt it has anything to do with money? When you're 75 you are rolling in money as the Government throws it at you like sweeties doesn't it? So why is Geoff Appleton selling his daughter's life story with Mario to the highest bidder? Don't think she would be very happy to hear her breasts have been spread all over the tabloids and no I shall not re-phrase that as it is going to happen before the summer ends.

Bullyboy

Mario Marconi is "a sleazeball and a bully", Geoff declared and was deeply unhappy when he saw Mario pretending to date 19-year-old Stephanie. Lovely to realise that 75-year-olds watch the show and that the demographic is spreading to such a wide age range but I digress. I don't think Geoff realised that this was just a task and not real? Understandably, Mr Appleton was upset when Mario said he had slept with over 200 women on his profile but why get so upset? Sounds like he's more angry that his daughter has chosen to go on Big Brother in the first place and wants someone to blame but cannot blame his princess.

Reading the interview, there looks a genuine hate relationship from Mr Appleton towards Mario and absolutely no love at all. (Don't blame him). "Everything about him is fake. His real name's not even Mario. He's called Shaun for God's sake. He just wanted to sound Italian.
"He lives in a fantasy world and thinks he's something he's not. He's all show and no substance.
"I hope Lisa dumps him now for her own sake and one thing is for sure - he is banned from stepping foot inside my house." Is this all because he said he had over 200 women or is there something else going on?

Background

Retired quantity surveyor Geoff cared alone for Lisa, her sister Sarah and brother Martin after wife Maureen left when Lisa was 13. My dad was protective of me yet if my mother had left and I was looked after alone by my father, I think he would had been even more protective. Not saying this is the case here - very likely looking at the language and reading between the lines.

"I don't like to speak ill of people but I didn't like him from the moment I met him.
There was just something uncomfortable about him." And this is not speaking ill of people? Wow.

Meanwhile, Norman Jackson, 66, father of Mario's ex-wife, teacher Lorraine Jackson, 40, also had a go at Mario.
"I always thought he was a complete k**bhead. I have nothing but contempt for him. He was a flash git who only talked fame and money."

I must say I like the way this man speaks. At least he is honest and gets to the point without skirting around the houses. If he wasn't so old, lived miles from my house and I wasn't married then I would be up there like a shot being stimulated by his pivotal frankness.

Good news for Mario, his Sophie, Lisa's daughter: "I like Mario, he's great fun. I am sure he will do well."

A Secret Couple? Never!

Oh you will never believe this but Lisa and Mario are a couple!

I was so shocked when I found out I choked on my butterscotch angel delight - Which I may add I use the Simon Cowell recipe of adding extra milk, use the electric whisk and then bung it in the freezer for ten minutes and Bob's your uncle. You have a melt in your mouth dessert instead of an odd tasting powdery mixture you normally would not feed to your cat.

After the wedding debacle, Big Brother must have decided that one or two housemates had a little inkling that all was not what it seemed with Steph and Mario. I have no idea how they got that idea as let's be honest the acting skills of Stephanie in particular have been extraordinary. It has been hard for her because of the Gestapo like interrogation by Alex I admit and she is a baby however she is also a grown woman too. That's a contradiction in what I have said! Hey you know what I mean.

Now this couple thing. Big Brother decided to end the arguing and told the HMs that there was a secret couple in the house and they all had a minute to decide who it was. Oh and that the wedding was a sham. Rachel was very upset as she was the only one to truly believe that the wedding was real and I think she's a sweetie and has a fantastic chance of doing well in this run because of her naivety. Problem for her is her naivety though and she will be taken in by BB's tasks and Dale's dire dribble or what he likes to call, 'chat up lines'.

Michael was the nominated person to tell BB who the housemates had decided was the secret couple and they picked Dennis and Luke - NO of course they did not. They selected Lisa and Mario the only couple to look like a couple if you ask me. They probably even have colour co-ordinated outfits which they've had to mix up to create a distraction from this wedding fracas.

The good news for Mario and Lisa is they can go back to their co-ordinated outfits - I can just see Mario in his Navy cagoule and Lisa in her pink one. (As if) Will be spot the designer name I suppose.

I know I have gone on and on and on ......yeah yeah about the one that thinks he's god but I have some gossip coming up on him for the next blog entry and let us pray (for those who do) that BB can think of something better for the next few days as I want to talk about something more interesting than a boring middle aged man please.

Wedding Over - Oh thank the lord

Sorry for the lack of blog entries today but my life is so exciting. I knew of course it was the first UK BB wedding and so instead I booked myself into the emergency wart removal clinic at the local hospital. I had a strong suspicion that having warts frozen would be much more enjoyable - And I was right.

But I suppose I ought to talk about the scam that never was. Even the bans were seen as fake by big gob Alex when actually the wording was in that case correct. And oh that Alex is going to hack everyone off isn't she? FABULOUS!

So the wedding - I think it is fair to say that none of the housemates believed this to be a real wedding and even Mikey saw through the charade. (Sorry about the pun, I couldn't resit). Personally I think Mario and Luke made a better couple and Luke would had made a much better bitch to Mario's stud don't you think? You only had to watch Luke and Mario on last night's show to see the sexual chemistry between them.

The BB Wedding

Stephanie wore 'a crisp, white gown' while Mario sported the normal wedding attire of a tux and a dark blue waistcoat. The bridesmaids were chosen yesterday by Steph and if she had any sense, which we now all realise she does not, she would have chosen Alex as one of her attendants. Unfortunately she chose Lisa, Kat (without the gold platform boots thankfully), Rebecca and Rachel, which left Alex resentful and still taking this matter personally. Mario had said he did not want her or others to attend who kept demeaning the validity of the wedding stating; "curt, rebellious, obnoxious people" were not welcome. So there is some anger in the man then and a hypocrisy.

"We are gathered here today," declared minister, "to witness the union of Shaun (Mario's less glamorous name) and Jonathon.....(Nah, I joke now her real name is) Stephanie."
"A good marriage must be created and nurtured. If there is any person here who knows of any lawful impediment against this marriage, they should declare it now."

And this was Alexandra chance to stamp her mark.
"I think we all know how I feel," she exclaimed. "I contest. I feel this is a sham. It's been given to us in a task format. I don't this it is a strong enough bond. It's a sham."

Well she has a point doesn't she? Although I do not like the way Alex has been interrogating Steph, I think she deserves it but I think what Alex did to Mikey was below the belt. My bigger concern is what Channel 4 is making Alex into. They need a baddie and they have found a great character for their show.

The fab news for the happy non couple is that the minister shut Alex up pretty quick and declared Steph and Mario ....ooooops I mean Shaun, husband and wife.

How has this task panned out for BB? Not very well in my opinion. The housemates were onto it from the very beginning and know that something happens right at the start so WHY oh why pull a stunt then? The other point is why use Lisa and Mario who have appeared on TV many times. I wonder if the other contestants had seen them on TV and subconsciously then felt uneasy about Mario from there on. Stephanie is just a silly little girl and no real harm to anyone - Who may be out on Friday?

Favourite quote from last night's show comes from Luke in the Diary Room

Luke: "Oh and Becky has asked for some masking tape"

BB: "What does she want it for?"

Luke: "Don't know? Maybe its to put over her mouth"

I've got plenty of masking tape available if BB hasn't!

Bad Girl Past Of Alexandra De-Gale - Updated

“I was pregnant at 15, had my daughter at 16. I went out, got a boob job, got two flash cars. I like to be flash.”

So speaks Alexandra De-Gale and now the explosive 23-year-old big gob's past has come back to haunt her. She forgot to mention that she had been arrested three years ago on suspicion of kicking a woman reveller during a drunken night out and was expelled from TWO schools (allegedly).

Former schoolmates have said that Alexandra bullied pupils at one school and was thrown out because she was pregnant, she was thrown out of another. WHY? For smoking cannabis.

Zoe Dunn, has spoken out and said she was bullied for years at Westwood High School, in Spurgeon Road, Upper Norwood where Alex was part of a gang who beat her up. This information comes from The Sun so it has probably been elaborated on but Zoe claims Alex called her: "White trash and white slag." She adds "If white girls hung out with black kids, she'd give you a hard time."

"She was chucked out aged 15 when she fell pregnant. My blood boils when I see her on TV."

Another un-named former classmate made the claim that Alex was expelled from St Mary's Catholic High School, in Woburn Road, Croydon, after being found smoking cannabis in the toilets with some of her friends. when she was 13 for allegedly smoking weed.

Alex, who is currently ranked as a 50-1 outsider to win the show, was held on suspicion of threatening behaviour but was never charged because the victim failed to give evidence. Dear Ms De-Gale, also had a six month restraining order taken out against her and a boyfriend in prison even though she claims to be single.

Alex's boyfriend, Courtney Hutchinson, 23, known by street name Devious, is said to be part of the feared PDC gang. He's on remand in Brixton jail after a gangland murder in Streatham, South London. There are also reports that a former pal Laura Barnes, took out an injunction against Alex after she allegedly launched a six-month hate campaign.

The story stems back three years ago and Alex turned nasty after starting a relationship with a different member of the same gang that Courtney was in. This man is also in jail for firearms offences. Seems Alex did not like her friend's boyfriend and the whole fiasco is over this. When Laura would not dump him, Alex flew into a rage and made threats against Laura’s little brother and dad. Does not sound like a stable woman to me? She was arrested for harassment and got a six-month restraining order at Croydon Magistrates Court. Laura claims to have been best friends with Alex from the time they met when working telesales at magazine Exchange & Mart in 2005. She said the ruling has recently expired leaving her terrified; She said: “Alex is a psycho. We used to be best friends and then suddenly she turned on me. She made me fear for my life.”

There may well be an explanation for this behaviour - MARIJUANA

Another so called friend told the Sun (money talks hey) that Alex smokes marijuana every day and predicted she would “crack up” without the drug in the BB house.

There's more problems for Alex as her local paper, the Croydon Advertiser has been talking to her neighbours or at least it tried to find some who knew her. It is anti-social behaviour which is causing Alex, or should I say some of Alex's neighbours a problem.

Ian Mills, 47, who lives opposite Alex and her seven year-old daughter, in Allen Road, told the local rag: "She's got a bad attitude and is not very pleasant."

Don't think Mr Mills likes Alex as he went on to say; "She came across on Big Brother last night exactly as she is here - very arrogant."

"She's certainly got the ingredients for the press to make her into a Big Brother baddie - I suppose she's the type of person the producers go for who will create lots of confrontation."

Mr Mills added that Alex and her boyfriend had screaming rows in the road in front of her seven-year-old daughter and that she regularly argued with an OAP who lived nearby.

"She has real double standards" Mills continued, "She berated the old boy who lives alone for singing in the street but then has her stereo blaring at all hours," "She uses obnoxious language and doesn't project a good personality about herself."

The BMW Alex speaks so fondly of, sits on her driveway because she cannot afford the tax for it. It has been clamped and lifted once and Alex has had to pay a fine because of it. Alex claims to be an 'accounts executive' and uses different company cars but these are not the two that sit on her driveway and she does not own them.

Alex claims to be famous in her home town of Croydon but only Mr Mills knew of her and he did not speak very highly did he? Me thinks she needs to work a little harder on her people skills.

Last night we saw a taste of Alex. She bickered with Mikey, after he had told Mario that some housemates were talking about the wedding and saying he had a game plan. Alex spoke disgracefully to Mikey and pulled faces at him knowing he could not see her. How patronising. For someone who has accepted religion into her life whether she is practicing or not, this shows she has no morals and no compassion.

She is clever and worked out that Steph and Mario were not a couple. "Let's see if they get married tomorrow" she said. They WILL get married tomorrow Alex so what then? She is currently firring question after question at Steph who is answering with ludicrous answers. The task is in jeopardy only if the HMs discover that Mario and Lisa are the couple and so far so good, unless their call of sexual passion calls stronger than their call of wannabe status and money.

The Stephanie Inquisition

It is kicking off in the bathroom.

Bigmouth Alexandra has led the inquisition team in a full blown attack on Stephanie over her relationship with Mario and why they never kiss. Just a small mistake that one.

I'm seeing the 'full colours' of Alex as Paula Abdul judge of America Idol would say and they ain't nice. She has a mouth like a fog horn which she engages before her brain kicks in. Yes she is intelligent and has picked up that this is a scam by BB; however she has not worked out the whole story. Instead she reduced poor thick Steph nearly to tears. I may not think much of Steph but it was bullying tactics Alex used and not nice to see. Where Mario was is beyond me?

In 24 hours time they expect a no show marriage so what will happen when the marriage takes place? Alexandra said, "Oh its not personal" - yet she was taking the matter to heart as if this was against her? It is almost as if she sees it as a slight by BB and that they picked Steph because she was more attractive, younger and fitter than she. All three are true, (even first thing in the morning) so she would be right wouldn't she. She's also a queen bitch and I hope the public will keep her in for a long time because if they are clever we will get good entertainment out of her.

Meanwhile, Luke and Jennifer have formed the 'No more wedding talk' group which is funny as Luke is one of the conspirators and is chatting with Mohamed and Jennifer about that wedding!

I was worried this morning that the show was flat. It is now looking like the characters are starting to spice up the plot and I have nought to worry about.

Ding Dong The Wedding's Wrong

Big Brother is still playing the wedding game and I'm already bored talking about it. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Let's just get it over with shall we and besides it is fun to think how wound up Lisa must be getting.

The housemates had a joint stag/hen party last night to celebrate Stephanie and Mario's wedding which Big Brother have kindly arranged for Sunday. Sadly BB think that ALL the housemates including Mario and Stephanie will believe the wedding will be legal. Mmmm. How they are going to fall for that one I do not know but then again they are both as thick as very, very thick custard and it is probable.

So far this year this year it is fun as having my legs waxed but you never know, Lisa may decide she has had enough of her man canoodling up with a woman half is age and when that happens we will see the real Stephanie and not the simplistic image she is attempting to portray. I want to see her manipulating side and I want to see it NOW.

Lisa and Mario, Yes You Have Seen Them Before

You know you've seen them on TV before but just can't place the face to the TV show?

Lisa and Mario are serial reality show contestants and here's the list of shows they have appeared on. If anyone can add to the list then feel free to comment.

Lisa was a contestant on:-

Gladiators

Kitchen Criminals

Body Heat

Mario has appeared on:-
Brits Behind Bars

Deal or No Deal

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

The Brits Behind Bars show, where we send our minor criminals to one of Americas most dangerous toughest jails, is one of my little lad's favourite shows. He was a bit surprised to see Mario on BB, "That's not Mario mum!" he declared. No just a blatantly obvious desperate wannabee with an obvious criminal record. I believe the British men held records for offences such as GBH or possession of drugs; the idea of the show was to scare them into reforming. More like a good way of getting TV fame for dear Mario?

We all know that BB is used as a platform for fame, you only have to watch last night's Little Brother to see the audience full of past contestants to see how it has helped some transform their lives. With Mario and Lisa, we are looking at two people who are not true lovers of BB but only there for what they can get out of it. I doubt they have put on their application forms that they are there for the experience as the psychs will have worked them out as self loving, egotistical, zealots.

Here's a link to the Liverpool Daily Post where reporter Peter Elson spots their wannabee desperation a mile off; http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-special-features/2007/08/11/lisa-cooks-up-a-storm-64375-19609520/ Its funny and well written so click and have a giggle. Apparently for instance while filming Kitchen Nightmares Lisa's heavy perfume wearing was considered a fire hazard and that she would be the 'flambe' - Oh I love it.

And if you have any more info on our reality gruesome twosome then please comment.

The Arrival Of The Fittest

Welcome to this blog which will only be here for the duration of Big Brother. My love of BB has been all encompassing ever since Craig told nasty Nick "Your not my mum"; no wrong show - Ah those days when BB was great because we did not know what to expect. But now we have an expectation each year and we want to be entertained.

Looking at some of the cast members its looking promising however others are dubious. Who cares though when the females have finally been given some good looking male totty and the males have been also catered for. But NO this is not good enough, I do not want to drool at the screen all summer, I want drama, friction, fighting and laughter too.

First to enter the big white door this year were Mario and Lisa.

Mario Marconi or Shaun Astbury as was, 42 has already become daddy to the house and has split with Lisa....more on that later if you do not know already. Mario looks like a fatter version of Joey from Friends on a bad day with the wind in the wrong direction and wearing poor glasses. Can't say he floats my boat.

Lisa Appleton, 40, and Mario's partner has been aesthetically enhanced all thanks to Mario. Big Brother played a sneaky trick on the couple and have told then that to win immunity from eviction this week, Mario and Lisa have to stop being a couple and more to tell when contestant no. four arrives. Trouble ahead with this as Lisa looks like no woman to be messed with.

Luke Marsden who truly looks like a 12-year-old in his dad's suit! Luke is a politics student who does not drink or smoke or fart probably. His voice is whiny and irritating and hopefully Luke and his suits (C&A specials) will be out quickly as I do not see much potential there.

Stephanie McMichael 19, arrived next and although she claims to be intelligent I would say that she is really thick and manipulative. Thanks to BB's trickery, Steph is now Mario's partner and only Luke knows this. The four need to keep this secret all week and if they can pull this off then they will be safe from eviction while all the other housemates will be up for the vote. What they do not realise is that Mario and Stephanie will be getting married on SUNDAY! AHA such fun.

Rachel Rice the 24-year-old trainee teacher (I think?) was next to arrive. She's bubbly, talkative, annoying and if you have a primary aged child then you will have met a teacher whose exactly like her. If she can manage a bunch of crazed eight-year-olds she should fit in well with the weirdos they mix her with.

Dale Howard, a good looking 21-year-old and he knows it I don't actually care because I fancy his body and I will pass on the personality How far will Dale go? And I'm talking in the show not in a sexual sense! (ooooh) Dale will be there right till the end, as long as he keeps his more sordid comments to his self.

BOOOOO! Sylvia Barrie a 21-year-old student, originally from Sierra Leone arrived to taunts from the crowd who have decided they hate her from her "girls don't seem to like me" comments. If she's to be believed then will cause friction but we shall have to wait and see.

Oh Dennis McHugh who's a 23 and a dance student arrived with a demented dance, a dodgy hat and an ego the size of the milky way. An interesting character but also aggravating (I shall have to think of the many different variations of the word irritating for this lot) I think I like Dennis if only he did not have that voice. Do you think he could swap it half way through with one of the other housemates?

Michael 'Mikey' Hughes, 33 is a cross dressing 6 footer who loves being the centre of attention. He's blind and does not let this hold him back and I have mixed feelings about someone with a disability like this on BB. Did Pete win because his disability gave him the sympathy vote and will the same thing happen to Mickey because some of the forums have a lot of "Ah poor Mickey/Michael" and he doesn't need that. He seems to have coped all of his life without the world feeling sorry for him without strangers starting now

Alexandra De-Gale 23, was a mother at 15 and owned a BMW at 21 but for some reason has already been labeled and I don't like that. Is it jealousy? Probably. She does love herself this is true but then again why not be confident? The crowd hated her and she was booed even more than Sylvia. Luke had a few boos to be honest but poor Alexandra had to suffer the "OUT" chants? She admitted she was a strong personality which is what we want on the show. Do we want to be entertained people? YES. If the public vote out the best characters early this year I will go spare.

Rex Newmark, 24, bit posh executive chef who got himself expelled from nine schools and has a very very pointy head! he will come in very useful and today he cooked soup for a late lunch and supper at midnight. No, not midnight, its going to be at seven apparently but there was a huge discussion over it which involved Mario and Steph this afternoon and nearly caused their first row. Rex comes across as mean and moody? That is my opinion but why are you reading this if you did not want to know it.

The hair, I mean Mohamed Mohamed 23, He could come in very useful if not enough tokens are earned as tip him upside down and he could be a mop. Oh the hilarity.....oh but seriously, I like this guy and his mad hair and 1970's sideburns. Half expect him to wear a fluorescent flared green suit tomorrow. Should last some time.

Rebecca 'Becca or Becs' Shiner Nursery nurse 21, was up next and lives by the philosophy of Tigger; "Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce". The girl constantly lept up and down as if her life depended on it and being curvaceous, everything bounced everywhere too. Ahh I know that feeling well. Not bothered one way or the other with her to be honest and think she will be one of those who will be out pretty quick unless she wears one of those leopard skin dressing gowns of course.........

Darnell Swallow 26, Born in Ipswich, moved to America and for some reason came back over here again. Must have been for the weather? Darnell is certainly a character that us for sure. He does not take him self seriously or so he says. Darnell has a medical condition called Albinoism which leaves him with less melanin in his skin, hair and eyes leaving his hair white and skin much paler. It is being portrayed as a disability by others because of the comments that are being left and the prejudice against this man AND oppositely, those people smothering him with inappropriate comments. Darnell has learned to live with this.
Come on people forget the medical condition, he has! Darnell appears to be a fun bloke and I hope he does well for who he is not what he has and how people see it.

Jennifer Clark is a 21-year-old mother, which brings the young mum total to two now. Pretty lady with some odd views however as she is yet another gorgeous bird she should last a fair well. Don't have anything good or bad I can say about her because I just don't get her? Think she's just a pretty face.

Kathreya 'Kat' Kasisopa, 30, not being funny here and I know I mentioned that leopard skin dressing gown earlier but you've got to admit that Kat looks like a Taiwanese version of the Welsh Sloth from last year. Everyone is raving about Kat, I'm holding fire and will wait and see as again I am not sure which way she will go. Could be a great bet if she will be the crazed cookie monster for the whole summer or a nightmare if she starts wearing a dressing gown with those gold platform boots.

So there we have it, our cast is all ready and waiting, time for a good summer or else YOU'RE FIRED!
