Sophie has told Lee that she wants to leave. She was shaken by the conversation she overheard between Kate and Jade when the two said she is "false," and she's had enough and wants to go home.

Lee told Adele, and she said to talk with Sophie and convince her to stay.

Let's see...if Jonny is voted out on Friday, Lee will walk on Saturday (which gives us two for the price of one), followed by Sophie. Leaving Kate on her own.

Are the new BB producers enjoying this?

I really don't think Lee will walk - it's just a ploy to gain sympathy. Aslo if he does really want to walk then we should help him out by evicting him.

As for Sophie, she is, to quote, a bit of a wet weekend.

I think if I were in there (highly unlikely on many counts) I'd be past sympathising with those who want to leave. By now they should be saying 'it was nice to meet you, bye'

it is just getting silly now. Lee, Jade and now Sophie all expressing an interest to leave. I don't think any of them will do it the end - Lee will go on Friday anyway. The producers must be nervous wrecks!!!

There's an unconfirmed rumor going around that the BB producers want to replace Sandy but that none of the stand-by contestants want to go into the house.

LOL! Im not suprised, i dont think i'd like to be in there.

BB1 and BB2, yea i would have said yes straight away. But to BB3, i dont think i would want to go in there.

can't say that i'd blame them!! - who in there right ming would want to be stuck in there!!

................now why doesn't that surprise me???

I don't see why Lee has to wait until Friday. If he walks before then it would me more interesting. As it is, he is going to get voted out, so a replacement is less important. Otherwise they might have to reconsider the heaven/hell concept, especially if someone ends up being thrown out.

surely the fact that nobody has ever left voluntarily in the 2 previous series and now we are looking at a third person to walk in the third must say something terrible about the shows producers. They have either made terrible mistakes with selection or have created a terrible place to live.

I know that if I was at work and had been placed in charge of something that had always been a resounding sucess in the past and turned it into a complete fiasco on this scale, I would be expexting a P45 on my desk at any moment.

On a lighter note I hope Sophie does leave, I think she is pathetic, shallow and two faced.

BB3 is just not the same as the last two, I dont know if tt's the choice of people, lack of tasks, it just does grip me as much.

The escape of Sandy did, but now all these other people sayig "I'm leaving too" What Next?

Never mind the standbys put the posh lad in from How not to get on Big Brother ... and James Harries the posh antiques collector who was on Wogan and Opra at 14 and is now a woman, no that would liven the place up

We may get to see a different side to Sophie if her stalker Lee leaves on friday. The guy gives her no space at all. If she had any backbone she would tell him to get lost. Maybe she's hoping the voters will do it for her.

How many applied? 150,000 ? I doubt thay would have that much trouble finding someone willing to go in if all the standbys said no.

Now Jade wants to leave.

It looks like BB have a big problem on their hands.

Funny how this year we had the 'How not to get on Big Brother' shows with the producers making some catty remarks about some of the hopefuls videos. Then they choose housemates who break their own rules (i.e. not looking for fame) and who are not even prepared to play the game - after all it is a gameshow (and one where, most people who've watched the first two should realise, involves weeks of boredom for the competitors).

they shouldnt walk there are loads of people out there who would have given their right arm for the opportunity these guys have got.i could do with a few weeks holiday...couldnt you?

have to say though i am very surprised that the prize money has not increased each time.£70,000 is a lot of money but when you see the £250,000 up for grabs every week on the vault for 1 nights work and the survivor winner walking off with a million i think they might have stuck it out for such a life changing amount.

what do you think?

Someone said there were 12 standbies. Most will have seen the divide, so would not be keen on going in, but will also have seen the dynamic, so would no not to trust two faced schemers like Adele, or would know that Jade will probably agree with whatever you tell her about the others. That extra knowledge could be too much to be allowed.

Yea sophie should walk she is Soooo bland

R is for Raunchy !!!

Here's what we do.

Put all the stand-by contestants in a house. Any house. Give them a few cameras. Put them on TV.

Let everyone in the original house think they're on TV, and continue their tantrums &etc. See how long until they catch on.

Sophie please walk out - you & Lee deserve each other - I don't know what the rest of us have done to deserve the sight & sound of you. Go and find a cruise ship and sail off forever, after all you have 'friends' in every exotic location that you can think to brag about (yawn).

I have read on the official big brother website's forum that Sunita will be going back in the house to replace Sandy...although I don't know how true that is...

They wanna walk?........Let them walk!!

The show cannot be held to ransom by certain HM's acting like childish pre-madonnas!
And the suggestion that they can't find anyone to take their places...don't make me laugh please...are you sure you never read this in the Sun?
150,000 applications.....I think it rubbish to suggest that they haven't got contingency plans to replace anyone and everyone!
Line them all up.....ask anyone who wants to leave to step forward...and show them the door!
I think this is all getting more and more like small children throwing their toys out of their prams.

"Let me do what I want...when I want...or I'm not playing with you anymore!"

No wonder Sophie wants to leave with that nethanderal Lee around her ankles all the time.She cant get a chance to talk to anyone else with him around.

Put big Alison back, she said she would on Little Brother didnt she. Although, some of the housemates wont like her, at least they all know her. if a new member is put in, it will be hard for everyone to get to know him or her! They better do it quick otherwise it may be too late!
