Kenny from South Park?

Lenny (Henry) in his grumpy old man persona could be worth reading............


But basically I stand shoulder to shoulder with bystander..........I've never been bothered to read any of the columns. I'd rather spend those 20 minutes looking at the forum............

Do the reporters have to be an ex-housemate or could it be someone in connection to the show who hasn't been in it or could it be a celebrity fan of the show?

Reporters are different from columnists (except the lovely Emzi, who's both)..........the columnists could be anyone they want......

As I said earlier, during BB4 they asked forum members to write columns.

Oh right, sorry, got reporters/columnists mixed up there.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing who they are but I hope at least one is and ex-housemate so we can see it from a different point of view rather than someone from the public who hasn't been in before.

You tease!

I'm thinking Marco will be a columnist and the second one will not be an ex-HM. But I've no idea who ...

That's what I think too. It was obvious all along that Marco was the Chosen One. I can't see the other one being Penny. I agree it won't be an ex-HM, but I have not as yet sussed out who it is. God, I hope it's not a member of Team Handsome.

What exactly is a DS reporter? I've seen it attached to a few FMs names but never really been sure what it means. What do they report on and where?

Reporters sometimes think they are moderators and try to dish out bollockings, when a thread goes off topic. They then get bollockings from FMs who tell them they are not moderators.

The second one could be ME!!!!! (real name)


My God - I'll have to sharpen my pencils & wait for the phone call!!!!

I reckon the second one is a celeb fan

Yes, I've seen that, in fact that's the only side of it I've seen
Guess they must contribute to the news snippets but I don't think I've ever seen anyone's name attributed except admin names.

It is like appointing trustees from a group of prisoners.

They get extra stuff but they are not prison officers and do not have the keys to all the important places.

At the end of the day, they are still prisoners and they get locked up with the rest.

Reporters have also been known to be banned, just like the rest of us.

Oooh, it could be Jenny Bond, ex-royal reporter. she's used to standing for ages outside a restricted-access house full of dysfuntionals

Am I lovely? Aw thanks dad, the cheque is in the post.

Forum members did write a few guest columns when one "reporter" (who was technically only a columnist) got banned.

Don't forget Dek also occasionally contributes as a DS:BB news reporter as well as a columnist.

You really think a 'celeb fan' would write a regular column for the amount DS would pay?

Could be a minor celeb or someone who has done very little to be known.

Maybe even a superfan?

If it's allowed to be said, how much do DS pay anyway?

Not nearly enough.

They are cheap. Hence sealboy.

Can't wait to read Myfanwy's response to this one.

I am sure I read somewhere a post by Dean that said he hadn't been asked. But if its all a secret he would say that anyway.

I can't remember who penny was

Shameless hussy in BB2- first out, claimed to be a teacher, blonde,ummmm........

kept flashing at people too...

Its definitely Marco.

Oh yeah so it is, just noticed the name appear now.

How thrilling :yawn:

His reports will be missable consisting of "Oh my Gawd Dahlink"

I just hope he doesn't come on the these forum wanting to 'discuss' his reports ....


(he will :yawn: )

Another 'n' has been added to the second name.
