    well its bound to mean something........

    or nothing?


    It interesting if it means he was planning on visiting the uk, in june .....so many months ago.......

    but it could just be signposting the month he was coming back.......or as you say giving sherrie or someone the thumbs up....but if it was only meant for the loys...does that mean that Sherrie is on loys as well???



    but by that logic then that means that the song should also mean something?
    :confused:



    so who will be glued to channel 5 tomorrow? for the start of BB ...........I hope to just dip in ....so that i can associate names to faces.....but hopefully that will be as interested as I get......

    I shall be glued to all 4 hours of it, can't wait :)

    I think the song is a song he likes. He seems to struggle just tweeting pleasantries, etc., I think it's his way of touching base without having to respond to the I love you's :) My thoughts only, obviously (and yes I still sometimes go to write h'obviously :p)

    John ‘the riddler’ Parton lol

    BIB Sure it's his picture on twitter so everyone can see it, i didn't think it was anything for loys

    I just thought with the June behind him in the calendar it might mean something, or meant something at the time he put it up, and of course it could mean f* all.

    when it comes to his tweet I'm with Muggins

    I was reading the thread about the 4 suicide attempts there.

    You know at the end of the day it’ll be a bit of publicity for the new series :(

    Wonder what John’s thoughts on the whole thing are, considering he had a dodgy relationship with endemol, they ran him a dogs life on Big Mouth. If it’s as bad as all that it must have been even weirder away from his f&f, so really no support whatsoever.

    Although i think to be fair you’d have to hear from more HM’s to get the full picture

    I was reading that as well and thinking how dreadful the whole thing is.....yes it could be publicity for the new series...but it might be something else....:confused:..

    BB is meant to be a lighthearted meaningless game show...ffs...not an intense psychological drama or personality test......Surely all HM should be supported....and to end up feeling depressed and suicidal isnt good for any of them.

    Both Shabby and Alex Sibley have supported Aaron with his statement that the aftercare isnt good enough....


    And added into this mix...is the idea...suggested elsewhere...that endemol wanted to use the last winner of C4 BB, to find a buyer for the BB franchise... setting up things like presenting courses...and maybe dictating who the winner could and couldnt give interviews to,,,,

    Which might explain why JJJ ended up doing ridiculous photo shoots for OK magazine....where they both looked a bit as if they had been in the dressing up box...and neither looked as if they had been given the chance to chose their own clothes or settings.....and where in fact neither of their characters or personality was shown off to best advantage...


    I think this could open up an immense can of worms........John wasnt treated well......and id love to get his take on the aftercare.... im sure he would have some pretty interesting things to say...




    But id doubt if endemol would be happy to hear from him....this next chapter could become very interesting becasue of this........John is coming back at just the right time to say something.......devastating about BB...




    :eek:

    Taking the idea of JJJ being pressurised by endemol to perform in a certain way ........made me think of a whole load of things from when JJJ left the Big Brother house...

    if you add into the mix...the idea that agents were on the JJJat forum and in the media as a whole........making suggestions and leading ideas in a certain way.......


    I was starting to think of things like......How John didnt want to do the calendar at all.....but was pressurized into doing it ...for the fans.........(and most conviently this would also be the one that would earn money for his agents...and keep his name and profile high.....as a good selling point for endemol)

    There was the whole thing about the nude photoshoot for charity...where John refused....and then someone started up an online poll.......to encourage him to do it.......but he still dug his heels in and refused....And i would totally agree with him.....why should he have to do a nude photoshoot, if he doesnt want to........its completely his choice...and very wrong to try and pressurise him....


    And it also explains some of the whole anti John thing...at the end of BB.........endemol knew he was highly likely to be uncooperative......but with Josie as the likely winner..........he could throw a complete spanner in the works.....and stop or try to stop endemol using Josie in the way they wanted to use her.....

    so somewhere behind the scenes ....some...tried to split up John and Josie....and create tension between them.....


    I saw them doing this...but have never understood why endemol were trying so hard to do this? why they felt they had to test and push JJJ so hard....it also explains why Josie and John werent given any time together when she won.....


    maybe ive been reading too much from the 'Hunger games' but recent events have made me think!!!! and see things from a very different angle......

    can someone....please put up a larger photo from his twitter for me....I havent managed to see this pic properly......going over to twitter now to look......


    how on earth can you read that this photo is from June....the only way you would know this.....is if you recognise this photo from the calendar......??? Is it the 2011 calendar?

    I can believe the aftercare of big brother is poor. Its a tv shows which is there to make money.Once winner is crowned, Then its about the next series. When your in Big brother you every need is catered for. As your making them money. Once you leave you on your own.

    im not sure that JOhns support was that bad......on the satelite shows..........he had his mum phoning in.......and she got on really well with George Lamb, who looked after her pretty well......and his mum was a total sweetheart who took just the right kind of tone.......loving...but understanding her son could be a bit of a pain at times.....:D.

    and I think he had quite a few celebs who liked him...... I always thought Emma had a bit of a soft spot for him...and Davina in the beginning.....


    and he had the advantage that most of the HM who left liked him........and were generally positive about him....


    so it wasnt until the last few weeks that he really started to get the completely negative edits.....and by then he already had a pretty powerful fan base here who were complaining.......

    I think emma did have a soft spot for John as she knew how big brother worked and the editing .

    But who gets the money...........???

    Endermol earns thousands...what do the contestants get.........most of them just get expenses.....


    im sure the aftercare varies considerably from contestant to contestant....but in BB11 for instance........there seem to be quite a few like DAve who were very angry with the producers...and who refused to have anything else to do with the show.....

    that doesnt sound like good aftercare to me....

    or even the first Racheal who said she was virtually made to come into the house to massage John at the end...despite the fact she really didnt want to do so.....

    that wasnt good aftercare for her...to send her into a highly charged situation, which was bound to erupt into a nasty arguement....neither John nor rachel came out well from that encounter....

    Morning all.

    Back to normality after a hectic (and I mean hectic) weekend. I am POOPED! I love having visitors but the washing and cleaning afterwards is a real letdown!

    Hope everyone enjoyed the Jubilee weekend. Wonder if John watched it.

    I have been very good and have NOT watched the new BB. I love Silk and have been watching that instead. Stuck to my resolution so far. Need to do other things!

    Just a reminder that I will post Book Group discussion questions tomorrow morning.

    morning nyannie....glad you had a lovely weekend....


    im looking forwards to the Book group questions....




    i missed all of BB yesterday.......watching silk etc and Grayson Perry looking at the different taste/classes ...he has made a series of tapestries about it....which look fantastic....now I need to find out where I can see them...


    is there anywhere to get a basic catch up of who is who in this latest BB?

    bib1 - when?

    bib2 - it was explained, before Josie won or got the gold card, that the winner would go straight back in - not everything is a conspiracy theory ;):D

    It always annoyed me that people saw that picture and started tweeting John about his vanity. I always thought it must be at somebody else's house or his mother's calendar, or put up for a joke. I don't seriously think John has his own calendar up in his room :D

    Here's a link I put up on the Sanatorium for the another Irish FM, she said it works :)

    http://nowwatchtvlive.com/2011/07/channel-5-uk-channel-five-tv-channel-online/

    It streams Five live.

    If you want to watch after the show's aired, there's BBCouchPotatoes or @Ermmmmmmm (may be less or more 'm' s on that :D but they put the show up pretty fast onto YOuTube.
