Towards the end of BBOTS, when she was sitting on the sofa with Danielle, Danielle asked her if she thought her leaving the house was the reason for her eviction, I thought Kimberly answered no, and mentioned having "ague in her arm."

Ague is a feverish, shivering fit caused by maleria or a similar disease.

What the heck?

I think she said something about a drip, or an IV in her arm. Can't remember exact wording, but it was definitely something along those lines.

She said "I had an IV in my arm for four days". Blame the accent!

She said she had a drip in her arm for four days. Nothing about the ague, no idea where you got that from.

What she actually said was, 'a IV in my arm'.

But don't get me started on that particularly grating Americanism again

When the nurse set up the IV she said, "You may feel a little prick"

"That's nothing new" Kimberly replied

Pmsl - having said that, I've begun to warm to Steven since she left.

Are you claiming it's an "Americanism" to say "a IV" rather than "an IV"? If so, you're terribly wrong. It's as improper in the American language as in the English language.

Honestly, watching shows such as this ... no one should be implying (or directly stating) that Americans speak improperly. Not if they're listening to their own, British, housemates. Lazy language is endemic everywhere.

Endemic everywhere is a contradiction.

Well since I've only ever heard Americans say it I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it is in fact an Americanism.

Improper or otherwise.

Seeing as how Kimberley's Daily Star interview has already hit the stands I think it's pretty safe to say Kimberley wasn't sick enough to at least give an interview and made sure they were equiped with a photo or two. So--does the Star do interviews in the hospital?
