The more I watch Scott, the more convinced I am that he has Derek Laud as a rôle model. They both seem to think that talking twaddle with an affected accent makes you intelligent.


I’m just watching my recordings of Aussie Masterchef and I’m feeling warmth and affection for all the contestants, could it be that the British like bitching and denigrating others and so TV caters for this need, but Australians are more tolerant and don’t feel the need to criticize. Just a thought. I wish I’d seen Australian BB to see if I like their contestants.

Evening Gemo.

The only thing in Scott's favour is he isn't quite (yet), as nasty as Laud is!

Their reaction was really funny.

The insiders are a bunch of planks though I agree.

how are the chucks gemo?

Sara seems to like shouting and then not listening when people try to reason with her saying she doesn’t want to know. I find Scott really creepy.

The chucks are lovely, four eggs today again, but no huuuuuge one. hey come when they’re called and they are getting to know their names. I’m very pleased with them.

Horrible couple of individuals. It was funny seeing the look of disgust and surprise on Caroline's face when he plumped for Adam to win it though.

WTF did Becky look like last night with that make-up on!
As for her face the whole way through her interview, she just looked really nasty & spiteful & full of her own importance.......she was (in her mind) justified in her behaviour. That horrible sneer she had on her face.......not attractive in the least. She also came across as even more stupid than she behaved in the house. Horrible person!

I certainly think the HM's intelligence affects their outlook and thus their behaviours in the house - some of them are so thick they miss all the nuances, their choices are based on not a lot and they're easily influenced.

The point about Ozzies is interesting - I don;t know enough to comment, but it makes sense that if you're more content with your lot, you don't need to constantly try to belittle others.

Although we laugh about the 'jellus' comments from HMs and FMs there's a lot in that concept. When ppl are dissatisfied and feel hard done by they do become resentful and jealous of those they consider to be prettier, fitter, richer - whether it's true or not. To make themselves feel better they try to psychologically bring down those they envy - even if it only happens in their own heads.

What annoys me most is Caroline, Becky and, to a lesser extent, Conor not being able to articulate why they hated the other HM's so much.

And Becky scoffing through the interview was so rude! and chomping away after seeing where that packet had come from too!

[Denley]

Whoop whoop!

womens team pursuit GLD, another WR (their 6th in the last 6 races ) - they are awesome!

Take a bow Laura Trott, Jo Rowsell & Danni King

I've got an unhealthy crush on Laura and Danni too. I love their personalities.

The majority of them are completely inarticulate, Arron was exactly the same too. Sad reflection on society isn't it!

I don't watch Shit on the side.......I refuse to do so! Thankfully I was spared that sight! Becky is a greedy gross pig IMO! I notice Luke S asking about all the food in the bedroom.....Ashleigh said it was Becky's stash......that says it all about her.

wise words JoJo.

they are thick and easily led.

I like Aussies. They do have a more relaxed lifestyle, don't have the baggage we do when it comes to class and getting up the ladder imo. They treat you as they find you in my experience of them. They do rip the piss all the time, if you can't handle that, don't go there.

People who bitch and moan constantly about others do it because they aren't happy in themselves. Lack of self esteem, lack of confidence, lack of respect. I don't understand why that is all encompassing for some people??? It can't be healthy thinking like that. We've all got our problems, deal with them and make the best of it.

I've preferred BOTS to BB most of the time. I've found this BB very dull and depressing since Lauren left tbh.

Hopefully now the bitches are out we'll see a happier, funnier house. It's going to be interesting to see how it changes here on in.

Hadn't seen that one before..........I'm always a bit wary of using pellets as I had a Siamese cat who was poisoned by these things. :mad::mad:

:confused: Why are you collecting them....are you taking up Taxidermy? :eek:

Yet it's Ok for Luke S to have gone on there.....'he has his own house & business'. God he's a vile individual! :mad:

He said after he had his grubby mitts on the case full of money, 'this is for me & my missus'. :eek::mad:

I thought cats were fussy eaters?

Watching Sara go on and on for 50 minutes talking to Deana about politics, at the end Deana wanted to ask her a couple of questions and she went berserk.

Never heard anything like it as didn't answer questions about politics.:eek:

One of Conors problems was that after his Deana rant and telling off he never wanted to speak to the 3 people that after a few drinks and getting annoyed he was at risk of saying the wrong thing.
Thats why he isolated Adam, Luke A and Deana.

So he had to keep away, the risk was too high.
And he would do anything to get to the final.

It's not a memory thing, it's an ignorance thing. I've not seen BB since BB3 or BB4.

A lot of the “reality” programmes – Come Dine with Me, Coach Trip, etc – seem to have been progressively cast with more dislikeable characters as the Series progresses. Not a trend I like and don’t know why it’s done. Possibly because people do feel better about themselves when they can criticize, or maybe because the criticism takes the form of tweets and forum posts and the producers think the more chattering inches, the better the programme.

I think Luke must have discovered the stash while BOTS was on because Emma mentioned it and Becky was very proud of herself She had all kinds of stuff hidden there, including pancakes, I imagine it was probably a bit smelly.

I have to say BOTS is better by far this year than it's ever been - some of the guests are still annoying but there's more substance to it and we get the 'exclusives'

I've been watching Four in a Bed for the last few weeks and I can see the same happening there. Maybe it's easier in the UK to find nasty ppl than it is to find ppl like us
