Wow, these women are wonderful.

Christine - told Nigel Benn to shut up twice -and he DID!

Tara - behaved appallingly, pissed Darren off big time, then managed to convince him that her behaviour was all due to her being quite overpowered with lust every time she looked at him.
Machiavelli, eat your heart out.

Rhona - her insane rant at Darren was quite the most impressive thing I've seen for some time. What I particularly liked was the way she managed to run through all the JMs, picking out their their particular weaknessess, whilst scarcely drawing a breath. Tony - slow; Tara-childish; Nell - mute; Darren-camp as a row of tents....

This is great television

And Uri gets to eat the bugs - that took the smarmy smile off his face. Thank you God.

I love Christine and Rhona - Rhona's speach was amazing! At last she's showing some of her confidence in front of an audience. Tara is now grating on my nerves - Can laziness be compensated by wearing leaves on her head?

I love those three - they are very diffeerent. Christine is great - w have differnt politial views but I think I'd get on well with her if I met her. Rhona I adore and admire tremendously. And Tara - again very differnt but sweet and a nice girl at heart.

I'm *sure* a woman will win IACGMOOH - I'm surprised that the bookies haven't stopped taking bets on a female winner. (And no - I didn't want a woman to win BB3 just coz a woman hadn't done so before!)

I'd like to see Christine, Tara or Nell win just coz they have been the most funny and caring....mind you - we're not into week 2 yet....

In week two they will start to eat the men, just retaining one for breeding purposes -but which one, I wonder?

Rhona's speech was amazing - all the more amusing because of the way she reverted to celebrity falsity afterwards... Darren Day will live with a Frank Spencer tag the rest of his days, and we'd never even have known that she compared them if he hadn't gone ballistic on her!

This program has turned out very differently to how the producers imagined it...

I just sat there rivited through Rhona's speech - she annoyed me yesterday but she was awesome today.

Just wish that they would give us more live time.

The key in Rhona's rant was of course "sometimes" -except in her flaming case it's every poxy time.

Actually I had some sympathy with her point of view - it's the way she expressed it that I just can't stomach!

As for Tara's little hissy fit - BAD Tara! She should have been sent to her room (after doing her chores obviously).

Rhona is an aggressive little madam whose bad behaviour towards the others has been minimised by the editing. It's all about attention seeking.

As one of the group said tonight, she has gone round everyone having a go and then grabbing centre stage to try and appear the injured party.

4 days in and 4 days of Rhona upsetting people - to be a comedienne, she has a serious lack of humour.

Fair enough, Rhona has quite an aggressive/assertive personality - but this time, I think Darren has to take a fair amount of the blame for what he was hearing. He over-reacted to a throwaway remark she made, thereby drawing too much attention to it, and showing an inability to hear anything non-positive about himself. And if he dosen't like hearing what she's got to say about him, maybe he shouldn't dish it out to her, either.

And I think Rhona also made a fair point when she compared herself to Nigel - he is equally aggressive, but Darren wouldn't dream of taking him on - of course, that'd be because they're both from the streets, heheh...

Does Rhona realise that though there may be a clique of three she is in a gang of one?

I was quite enjoying her "Is it because I is a woman?" routine though!

Are you kidding?

This is exactly what they want! I bet they can't believe their luck to have got it so soon, and so explosively!

But it wasn't just one throw away comment. He said she had had many digs at him but the Frank Spencer remark was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Why would Darren take Nigel on when he doesn't have an issue with him? They have a common bond they said and understand one another - neither of them can understand Rhona. They have all complained about her daily but few had the balls to confront her.

Yeah but Rhona was specifically pointing out that Nigel was just as irritable and shouty when he was doing the cooking but Darren said nothing about his carrying on.

I think she had a point - society in general does have issues about women being assertive and interprets their behaviour much more judgementally than it does that of blokes.

In her case, however, she's just taking the hiss.

The clique are going to stick up for each other no matter what - So Rhona may well be the injured party with that lot of bitches on her back. They just pop down to the river for a bitch session and come back wound up......Poor Rhona -
It's so obvious they have it in for her and she had the balls to stand up to them. Look what happens when she's friendly to one of them - Nigel runs in, drags him away and puts him straight. Tara would annoy anyone when you're trying to work and she's doing nothing but pretending to be a rabbit.

I too thought Nigel's behaviour was more than a bit iffy!

Isn't his pal allowed to have other playmates then?

But Rhona isn't being assertive - Christine is.

Rhona is being irritable, fault finding, intolerant, picky and downright rude. It doesn't take a lot of courage to shout and swear at a bloke in front of 300 cameramen and technicians.

She can shout and swear all she wants but what the hell was "Don't push me too far" all about? What's she think she's going to do exactly?

She's quite handy with her fists I believe.
Hmm, wonder where Brett is at present?

Hmmm tricky one that. I wonder what Darren would have done if she offered him out?
Personally if were him I'd have just laughed.

Christine & Rhona I love, Tara, sorry, but comes at the bottom of my list, right along with Nigel & Darren. I'm definitely sticking up for Rhona now. Those three are so obvious with their little clique, going of to bitch about her, and she obviously knows what's going on, is it any wonder she's tetchy with them?

Which came first - the arrogant, self-important, moaning, aggressive behaviour from Rhona or the complaining about her from others (including might I point out several who were suddenly silent during her obsessive rant)?

It may have been a damn close run thing but I reckon it was Rhona being a complete pain in the butt!
