I quite agree, I was enjoying it until last night and without Germaine I don't think I'll bother with it any more.

They aren't even going to let us hear Germaine say goodbye.

Is she the one that wears that great big grey sock?

She wasn't above it when she walked in.

kenzie posited the notion that in our late industrial and pluralist culture the hegemony of academia has become a redundant grand narrative, sited as it is in a value system of texts that have calcified in meaning when set against the rapid flow of cultural fragments that inform and position our postmodern self.

why bring in an 80 year old quite the most bizarre line up - who are they trying to appeal to ? McCririck has turned me off...does anyione know the viewing figures..... :yawn:

Yes I agree. That's the big question - why the hell did she do it in the first place?

I'm sure she will review the programme on Newsnight Review on Friday.

He should just kick back, have a few beers, and keep it real.

Look at all the shopping they are collecting. Will John be getting a crate of diet cola?

Bet you do ... along with the rest of us

Yes they have stand-ins. My local paper had an article about Julie Peasgood being on stand-by to go in.

I feel the same, but I'm trying to remind myself that I felt that way when Kitten left in BB5, and again when Emma left. And when Marco left. But it all turned out ok in the end.

very good

he thinks she's an old fart ?

Sheer brilliance. I'm so glad you can lipread so accurately during sound dips.

well i just hastily chucked a few quid on her leaving first so i hope no-one else walks before her

Julie Peasgood (who?) as a substitute for Germaine Greer? Come on, you've got to be joking. Julie Burchill, now that would be just about an acceptable substitute.

I was only watching it because of Germaine. I haven't watched the last couple of BBs because I got bored with it.

Never heard of her

Who the hell is Julie Peasgood?

Quality celebrities lined up in reserve, clearly.

She could be going into the Bed-Sit

Snob

Germaine has stunned the housemates by twelling them she is leaving the Big Brother house as soon as she can. Her suitcase has arrived and she is currently in the process of packing.

"Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!" shouted Germaine as the prospect of leaving dawned on her.

She hinted that she won't be the only person to leave. Germaine claimed she had "specific issues" and she was being "deliberately unfair" by staying in the house but refuse to discuss exact reasons.

Jackie quizzed Germaine berfore declaring that she would miss her. "I don't understand - you looked so happy last night. Who will take your place?" asked the new housemate.

"It's not my problem" smiled Germaine as she packed as soon as she could.

Maybe there's a movie out this week she really wants to review on Newsnight.

Or maybe Sandy is an inspiration to her, but her hip is too bad to go out the roof route.

thats my thoughts.
