Ooh, I can't stand whisky either, but I think there's a small bottle of it somewhere around here (for medicinal purposes!) so I might have one shot of it if Dirk wins.

Out of interest, did anybody from here go to Friday's eviction show? I only ask as I remember seeing someone holding up a poster which said something like "Dirky Dancing" on it and the people holding it were from Bracknell - and I only know that because the poster said so!

Could well have been someone off this forum, but if so they have kept it quiet.

I will be looking out for many Dirk banners for the final later.

I love reading all the witty banners people take along

Yes, some of them are good, although most of the ones I saw on Friday said get Jo out!

On amazon.co.uk the price is now £369

In lieu of any info on Dirk's agent, I've made a product request on Amazon for it. Maybe if there's enough demand a publisher might pick it up.

Yes, I saw that! Unbelievable! No wonder it's still there though! Dirk and Jermaine were talking about books yesterday and Dirk said there was one he tried to get published before, but nobody would pick it up. Jermaine replied with something, but Channel 4 cut it. When the sound returned, I heard Jermaine say he was friends with both the son and the President and I figured that he might have bee talking about a publishing company, but I'm not sure.

I was under the impression that Dirk pulled 'Fishing' from circulation after the first print run (or something), because it was such a sensitive family story.

Nearly 100 pages!

Edit! I just made it 100.

And Jack's got 3.

The nerve of some people! I even saw a banner which said "get Shilpa and Jermaine out" which puzzled me a little as I've always thought Jermaine, like Dirk, was fairly popular?!

It's difficult to keep track of the various threads as the forum moves so quickly. However, I believe Dirk's Appreciation Thread is by far and away the biggest one of them all!

According to the Channel 4 web site and the EPG, the show will be repeated today at 4:55pm on E4.

There's a long (3 page) interview with Dirk on the Blockbuster video website at the moment (http://www.blockbuster.co.uk/DirkBen...interview.aspx ) and he says this about his book:

"My second book is deeply personal. It's out of print right now, and involves the rest of my family. It covers the death of my father which was very tragic and dramatic, and the birth of my son which was also quite dramatic. Both events took place over a weekend. The birth was 43 hours of labour. It's about growing up in Montana, and later, about my wife and I after the A-Team had its first shout. It's a page turner."

I'm guessing he wouldn't have mentioned it in a recent interview if he was trying to burying it, so fingers crossed it might be republished

.. lets hope the length of this thread and that of the "one-liner", is indicative of his standing in the final - a second place would be a result!

I've voted 4 times yesterday and will vote four later - not going overboard

There's no real reason why Dirk couldn't win. In fact, if the stories are true, then Shilpa isn't that well liked in the outside world and Dirk could easily beat her. I feel Jermaine is still a strong contender, but I don't see Danielle, Jack or Ian making it to the final three.

I think Dirk has by far the bigger hard core fan base out of any of them, even more than JJ. I think we could be in for a surprise

I agree. I think Dirk's fan base is bigger than even he knows! Hopefully, this will show itself in full effect during the voting and surprise us all!

In the NOTW today there is a little snippet of information that says Shilpa got more votes to be evicted on Friday than Dirk. Of course I would not take this information as Gospel Truth but Dirk does certainly have support out there!!

Dirk to win!!
