REVIEW - Ant and Dec's Takeaway on Tour


This weekend, everyone's favourite Geordie pair popped to London - bringing with them their Takeaway on Tour. 

I was invited to the O2 to be entertained by Ant and Dec, of course, and they really did not disappoint. 


Having watched Saturday Night Takaway on the telly since, well, it began, I was a little dubios to how the boys could make it work in an arena setting. It taught me, once again, that if anyone can... They can. 

Running through the audience, to the tune of 'The Boys are Back in Town', as they were introduced, Ant and Dec both made sure that every single member of the arena were involved, in some way, and you actually felt part of the show. High fives, handshakes and a few selfies later, the lads were on stage and the size of what they were about to achieve didn't phase them in the slightest. They truly are masters of their craft. 



Our side of the arena was Team Dec, which pleased me slightly, as Dec's always been my favourite (sorry, Ant!) and we were certainly the loudest half! 

With the guest announcer being Peter Andre, and Joe Swash and Laura Whitmore popping in, too, there were laughs and jokes from the start. Almost every sketch from the telly version of the show was done in the arena, from 'bad behaviour' awards, where an unsuspecting audience member won (three!) trophies for her good bad behaviour, and 'Sing-a-Long Live', where three audience members were chosen to go on stage and take part - while we voted for the best person to win. This was the best and biggest karaoke game, probably, in the world. 
Who can say they sang karaoke with Chesney Hawkes? I can! 

Having bought my mum along as my plus 1, we were both up on our feet, dancing, singing and crying with laughter throughout. 

'Ant vs Dec' was also a big part of the show, with Ashley Roberts, of course, hosting the sketch. Part One was a back to school quiz, involving children from a local primary school and Ant showed that he's not that great Maths (I know how he feels!), while Dec proved that he wasn't up to speed with outer space. 


Part Two of Ant vs Dec was where us, the audience, played our starring role, as after the lads ran through the arena, climbing wobbly ladders to retrieve a key - red and blue boulders were released on each side of the arena. We had to help the boulders travel to the stage, and whichever team had three boulders up on stage first won. Sadly Team Dec lost. But I call sabotage as our last one ended up on Team Ant's side, and the cheeky scamps wouldn't give it back! 



At the end of the first act, River Dance entertained us, and Ant and Dec joined in... They must've been practising their Irish dancing as they were quick, bouncy and just as good as the rest of the cast! 



Twenty minutes later, the boys were back - well, Ant returned while Dec came rushing through the front of the crowd holding two pints and a packet of crisps. What followed was a sketch so simple, passing the pints and scoffing the crisps, but it was quality, old-fashioned laughs. Once again, mum and me were crying with laughter. 

After their snack break, the lads introduced The Super Computer. It was time to pick an audience member to 'Win the Ads'. Super Computer chose at random, a block, row and seat number. The lucky lady in question was taken backstage to prepare to win big! Prizes didn't disappoint, with a car, holidays, money, a TV and many more...


When the Super Computer's chosen one returned, she answered the boys' questions and managed to get six questions correct, finally deciding to gamble on a Wayne Rooney based question. As you can see from my pictures - fireworks and an Any and Dec sandwich hug - she had won!


Takeaway on Tour of course wouldn't be the same without two other special guests. Little Ant and Dec! The mini versions of the Geordie duo appeared via web-link, and we watched a VT of them interviewing Little Mix which was cute, cheeky and entertaining! 


There was also one last sketch which had us in stitches. But Ant and Dec asked the audience not to mention it on social media as they really like to keep it a surprise - so you'll have to buy the DVD when it's released to check it out! 

Ending the show, in the only way they could - in 'The End of the Show Show' - Ant and Dec gathered all of their guests together for Let's Get Ready to Rhumble... Dancing, jumping and singing, we were exhausted by home time! 


The 'End of the Show Show' wasn't quite the end, though, as for their reprise the boys returned, Morcambe and Wise style, and sang Bring Me Sunshine. With the words on the big screen, everyone joined in and it was a lovely, lovely end to an amazing show! 



If you want to sit down and be a bit of a bore then DO NOT go and see Takeaway on Tour. 

But, if you want a fun-filled evening, with lots of laughing, surprises, dancing, singing and audience participation, then do... And if you can't, then buy the DVD on its release! 

This show proved why these two lads have won the array of awards that keep their mantlepieces warm. 

Well done Ant and Dec! And thankyou for such a great weekend!

HOLLYOAKS - Theresa breaks out of prison!


It's all about to get very exciting over in Hollyoaks - as Theresa breaks out of prison, with the help of Mercedes and Phoebe!

Theresa has been concerned for her daughter, Kathleen-Angel, recently, knowing that Sonny is doing everything he can to stop Kathleen-Angel seeing her mum.

After being visited by Phoebe and Mercedes, the trio devise an escape route for Theresa...

Managing to get herself into hospital, Theresa is found by Mercedes (posing as a Doctor!) and is wheeled out, into the outside world. They are soon caught out by Sonny, who threatens to arrest them - but sooner than you can say her name, Myra turns up (with a new blonde hair 'do!) and hits Sonny over the head!

Of course, they McQueen clan are hit by a new problem, in the form of soon-to-be-departed Carmel, who has Kathleen-Angel with her. Myra does her best to persuade Carmel that Kathleen-Angel would be better off with Theresa, telling her that Sonny is no good.

Carmel makes the decision that it should be up to Kathleen-Angel who she wants to stay with, and the toddler soon runs towards her mum.

Will Theresa make her escape with her little girl?

This all seems very far-fetched, even for Hollyoaks, but exciting none-the-less! Knowing that Theresa is making a full-time comeback, how will the escaped prisoner be able to maintain her freedom for good?

I've just had a thought...

With Carmel soon leaving, maybe she's the one who ends up behind bars instead of Theresa?

Soaps love a legal loop-hole now and again, don't they...

I'm looking forward to this!

HOLLYOAKS - Theresa begins her fight for freedom

Theresa McQueen made a mystery phone call in last Friday's E4 First Look Hollyoaks, and tonight we see who she's relying on for help.

I thought that Theresa might have called upon her Auntie Myra - as we know that she'll soon be returning to the village - but this time Theresa is relying on her (unreliable!) mother Kathleen to help her.

Theresa needs her mums help...
Sonny Valentine promised Theresa that she would have no more to do with her daughter Kathleen-Angel, as he and Carmel were bringing her up together happily. Sonny is, of course, Kathleen-Angel's uncle, brother of Calvin, who was shot dead by Theresa when she first found out that she was pregnant with his baby. 

Knowing that she needs to fight back, as to not lose her little girl, Theresa hopes that her mum will be able to intervene. And Kathleen proves herself willing for the task, making an immediate clash with Sonny!

It was reported this weekend that Carmel McQueen would be leaving 'Oaks, as actress Gemma Merna has decided to move on to pastures new... 

How do you think Theresa makes her break from prison?



EASTENDERS - Fire to change Kat's life

A mystery arsonist will ruin the life of Kat Slater when they set fire to the house she shares with her family.

Kat is known to be caught up in the flames, escaping with serious and life changing burns. It is not known whether Alfie, their new twin boys or son Tommy will be in the house at the time - nor Stacey, Lily or Big Mo.

Kat's life is about to change forever

Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat, will begin to wear special effects make-up to portray the burns in which she suffers. The aftermath is also said to take an emotional toll on Kat, and cause a major shift for the character.

I don't yet have any incline about who would do such a thing to the Slater house - but Stacey will have a few enemies on her return to the Square, in the form of Roxy Mitchell, for one, or is it to do with the key she asked Lauren to look after before she went into prison?
Could the arsonist be after Alfie, who we've seen try to participate in dodgy deals to make money for his family?

What do you all think?

HOLLYOAKS - Bye Bye Carmel!

Bye Bye Carmel!
It's was a bit of a sob Sunday for Hollyoaks fans yesterday, as Gemma Merna announced that she would be leaving the soap.

That can only mean one thing... we say 'see ya' to Carmel McQueen, too. *Dries eyes*

After eight years, an upcoming story will see Carmel totter away from Hollyoaks, but how will she go?

Now, we all know that Theresa is returning to the village, havign seen her first appearance in Friday's first look on E4. How will Carmel feel about this, as we all know that she's taken Theresa's daughter, Kathleen-Angel on as her own. Will our Carm' run off with the little'un - or will Theresa go to dramatic lengths to make sure she keeps her baby?

Sonny Valentine is also a massive wrong-un, isn't he! As much as the cop seems to love Carmel, he's no stranger to seeing people off or putting them in danger...

Of course, Carmel could always just chuck on her stilettos and sashay off into the sunset to live with her sister Jacqui in Spain, or, knowing Myra is making a short comeback, Carmel could leave with her mum.

Gemma Merna told the Daily Star Sunday:

"I've had a great time being part of the show for eight years and I'm excited to push myself and explore new avenues. I've got an exciting business launch for later in the year that I'm working on. I also have some great storylines before I go."

Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood added: "The role of Carmel was never in our plan until Gemma Merna tottered into the audition room with a gold lamé handkerchief and thigh-high boots.I'd like to thank her for being a valued company member and for creating one of our most lovable characters."
Who else is going to miss our Carm'?

EASTENDERS - While I was away...


As I've just done with Hollyoaks, I also managed to catch up with the comings and goings in Walford while I was on my Jolly's.

The main focus is still, of course, surrounding Lucy Beale's murder.

Jay is the guy on the bus in the beanie hat (which he subsequently burnt!) and was clearly going to visit Ben Mitchell. Hence, not wanting to tell anyone why he was there and where he was going. Either that, or Ben was the person on the bus in the hat, which could open up another whole can of worms - especially as the online rumour mill has already named Ben as a potential suspect!

The walls are also closing in around Ian, as the police have totally cottoned on to the fact he's hiding something. As did Phil Mitchell. Ironic really. He should be a copper, you know. Anyhow, it's obviously going to come out sooner rather than later that Ian paid Rainie for a bit of the other, especially as it's whispered that Rainie soon makes a return (blackmailing the Carter's!) and wasn't permanently gotten rid off by Phil after all! I can't wait for Ian to get found out - as sorry as you feel for his loss, and once you really start to feel as though he's a good guy who's just misunderstood - he un-redeems himself! This week it was being nasty to Patrick, who's still recovering from a stroke and getting Denise to palm him off into a care home for his own selfish reasons. Secondly, he really let Mick take the brunt of covering for him over Rainie. As nice as it is seeing Phil show Ian a friendly hand - I kind of want that Beale head shoved down a toilet again! And that's testament to Adam Woodyatt, and his talents. You laugh, cry, love and hate Ian all at once!

The Walford youngsters were centre-fold again this last week. I like Whitney and Lee's relationship, I think he's a good lad who'll be just the medicine Whit needs, with her past experience of men. Lauren and Dean on the other hand is a disaster - one, because it's embarrassing watching Dean try to make Linda jealous and two because Peter succeeded in turning Lauren off Dean, which will cause heartbreak for poor Lola. Peter is due to dump Lo' and make a move on Lauren... his first love. Will Lauren feel the same? And is Lola's anger at Jay moving away with Abi because she harbours secret feelings? If Peter gets with Lauren, and Lola then gets with Jay - it'll leave Abi all alone and, possibly, angry. Will she lash out and lead a whole new side to her being discovered? (Max + Lucy, Abi fnding out and not wanting her family life ruined once again = in Abi killing Lucy?) Just another theory - not mine - but another one none-the-less.

We also found out that Charlie Cotton IS Dot's real grandson, but works in a care home... not the police... and Nick is stalking him. Firstly, who bets that this will be the care home Denise and Ian visit for Patrick and secondly, lets count down the days til we see Nick reunited with his Ma. I reckon Charlie will end up the good guy, save Dot from ghastly Nick and have a happy ending with Ronnie Mitchell and (possibly their) baby. Well, as happy as you can be with Ronnie around!

Lastly - Stacey was back, too! Hurrah! We all know she'll be out of the nick soon, but what intrigued me was Whitney's text last night which read - 'It's me, Ryan.' Ryan being Whit's brother and Stacey's daughter Lilly's dad. Will this be another shock 'Enders comeback?

Now all we need is the return of Grant and Peggy Mitchell!

HOLLYOAKS - While I was away...


I've been home from hols for a week now, and as far as Telly Jolly goes, I'm well and truly caught up with all things 'Oaks!

Things have been a little quiet from me this week - mainly doing my day job and catching up with my favourite soaps. (There will be an EastEnders - from my eyes only blog, later)

Over in everyone's village of choice (Hollyoaks, of course!) so much can happen in the course of one or two episodes, so trying to catch up on a week has made me feel as though I've lived their lives myself. Leaving me little short of extremely exhausted!

When I tuned in, the Lomaxes were still reeling from their parents tragic deaths and Lindsey was still doing all she could to get Freddie to confess to Fraser's murder, so that Joe would be released. Now, I'm still trying to understand where the hatred for Joe came from in Freddie's mind. Sure, he loved Lindsey and wanted her for himself, but he lived with them for years and years without growing so much dislike for his brother that he'd get him banged up for murder...

I thought the 'pin-the-blame-on-Sam' twist was brilliant, though. Obviously not for her family, but it means that we get to keep both Roscoe bro's in the show. Despite saying bye-bye to Sandy. How will the brothers grim put this all behind them. And I can't wait to find out who's really the daddy of Lindsey's baby. My money's still on Fred.

Mercedes and Lindsey's cemented 'sismance' was also a nice little thing to come out of all this. I've never been a number one fan of Mercedes McQueen, but her line of 'I was talking about you,' when speaking about letting someone in, when Lindsey actually thought Mercy was talking about Freddie was incredibly sweet. I think that these two will play a pinnacle role in supporting Cindy through her bi-polar, too, when she's finally found. Girl power in the village!

Elsewhere, just when it looked like Finn would get his comeuppance, and Ste had found out that it was him who attacked John Paul, Finn got off again...
But with his ex, Amber Sharpe, making a return with their daughter, Bella, I hope it's around this that Finn gets caught out. Of course, the evil schoolboy tries to attack Nancy Osborne in upcoming episodes, too, so the net will certainly be closing in.

Next week will also see the return of Theresa McQueen (and subsequently, Myra!) as she plans her 'get-out-of-jail.' Sonny goes to visit Theresa in prison, and whatever is said leaves Theresa desperate to get home and fight to keep her daughter, Kathleen-Angel. That should be an exciting start to a brand new McQueen plot!

Cameron and Peri's growing friendship is also a nice slow-burning story. Even though Cam helped Freddie set Sam up for Fraser's murder, who can blame him? She took away years of his life, when he was just a guy who fell for her daughter... And I think he wants to try and be a good father-figure to Peri.

The Blake family are still looking to be a firm Hollyoaks focus, with Maxine's return, Patick turning up again and Sienna falling in love with her twin brother, Dodger. (Yes, LOVE! And this even confuses Anna Passey, who plays her!) We're certainly going to be delving deeper into the past of the Blake's and why Patrick and Sienna are as screwed up as they seem!

There's probably lots more that I could talk about - but I'll leave it there, as I have a feeling that next week will be action-packed.

Who's looking forward to it?

WATERLOO ROAD - Final scenes to be filmed today


It's a sad day for fans of Waterloo Road, as the school-set drama films its final scenes today.

After announcing that the BBC were not going to commission any further series' of the telly favourite, fans were promised that Waterloo Road would end on a high.

I think it's probably a good call. As a fan myself, I don't know how much more drama, tears and tragedies can ripple through one school! And if Waterloo Road had continued, it was at risk of becoming repetitive and not going out remembered for all the fab, funny and teary plots it's given us during its run.


Actress, Laurie Brett, who plays Waterloo Road headteacher Christine Mulgrew will be heading back to Albert Square after filming to pick up her role as Jane Beale in EastEnders.

The next ten Waterloo Road episode are expected to air this year, with the final series due in 2015 - so we've still got a little way to go before we close those school gates forever!

CBB - What did we all think?


So, last night, Celebrity Big Brother kicked off...and I must say that I feel it's the lowest level of 'celebs' we've had since the show began on Channel 5, especially if you think that Zoe Birkett (who IS well known in her field) appeared in this year's civilian version.

Having said that, it still looks as though all is not lost, and this bunch could be rather entertaining, even if they are little known 'celebs'. I sometimes even like it when the celebs aren't too well known, as it feels like the civilian BB all over again!

The twist which saw Dee become Deidre, Royal Family member was a funny touch - she's going to slip, big time. And her and Claire King are going to have a frosty start, on Claire's part more so.

I also loved Audley's shock at seeing Kellie, he genuinely looked bemused and confused, and wasn't sure if Kellie was having a joke or not. She looked very nervous about the whole situation and even admitted that she almost pulled out at the last minute, but made light of the fact that when Audley asked if he had to call her Kellie from now on, she replied 'If you want to get pad pad for your next fight, yes!'

Gary looked a little concerning - as if he was under some sort of influence, and Emma Willis looked like she wanted to fall off the edge of the stage when it looked like he was refusing to go in as he had to be 'requested' or 'escorted.' LOL moment, indeed.

The rest of the house seemed to do well when Dee (or Deidre) came back as the 'final' housemate, aiming to trick the American housemates that she was a real Royal. How do you think she'll do?

On a personal note, I'll be interested to see how Lauren gets on. I've never really taken to the girl, but am trying to not judge her based on my previous findings and look at her as though I've never seen her before. I also think it'll be good to see Gogglebox's George, as we only see him on screen when he's watching others, and he does seem like a likable chap.

I'm not keen at all on David McIntosh as yet. He seems so full of himself, and to be honest, a bit of a **c*. Time will change if my opinion changes but I haven't got high hopes! Chantelle Houghton was right - God knows what Kelly Brook sees in him.

James Jordan seems pleasantly nice and the little Will and Grace old boy is too cute!

Everyone else, I don't really know or have seen enough to have an opinion on yet.

What do you all think?

CBB continues tonight at 10.00pm on Channel 5.

One ends and another begins!


I feel very out of the loop when it comes to telly at the moment! One week on hols and you can easily miss an awful lot - but I've caught up as best I can and am raring to go again!
Celebrity Big Brother, tailing on the end of civilian BB, as per, begins this evening and there are no major names sticking out to me, if the rumour mill is true, about who's going in. 

Ex-TOWIE member Lauren Goodger, Kellie Maloney, White Dee (of Benefits Street fame!), Audley Harrison, Stephanie Pratt and actress Claire King are among the named new housemates. 

I guess we'll have to see how many of these are true - but I reckon it'll be a great show anyway... It always is! And sometimes, the less you know the celebs, the more it feels like civilian BB and is more interesting.

Host Emma Willis has already promised us that we don't want to miss it, it's going to be 'current' and very good... 

The talking BB point over the weekend, however, had to be Helen being crowned champ. 

Who was pleased?

I have to say, I was. As I've said before, she was honest, funny at times, and a real person. No game playing or being fake and false. What you saw was what you got, even though sometimes she did over-step the mark. But, hey, who hasn't, in life? 

As pleased as I was that Helen won in the end, it was still a shock and I thought that Ashleigh was the runaway winner, with all the social media opinions. 

Well done Helen! 

I'm now off to hunt out some much-needed soap gossip for the rest of the week... 

But I'm sure there'll be lots to say later tonight, after the big launch of Celebrity Bruv!

Telly Jolly - Pre-Hol round up...


Well, it's that time of year when I pop off on holiday. That means that Telly Jolly will be having a break too... boo!

While I'm away, though, there's plenty of telly that I'll be missing out on and that you'll all be tuning in to - with some of the hottest soap stories of the year happening right now, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takaway tour hitting the road and the lead up to the Big Brother final. I've got to be honest, I'm ever so pleased that the final is the same night I return home, so I won't be missing out!

I'm going to do a round up of the main Telly Jolly faves before I go, just for you:

First up: SOAPS!

EastEnders is going full steam ahead, with a new mystery witness being asked to come forward in Lucy Beale's murder case. Who is he? Ian Beale is also going to confess the truth about what happened with Rainie that fateful night, too. Will his already fractured relationship with Denise survive?
Elsewhere, Kat and Alfie will have new baby twins by the time I return, and Stacey would have made a decision about taking up Jean's offer to break her out of jail! What's the big plan?
Dean Wicks also makes his move on Linda Carter (he jumps in for the snog!) Phil and Shirley begin an affair n the coming weeks, and Cora has an outburst that causes a bit of a stir...

Over in Hollyoaks land, the Lomaxes deal with the fall out from last night's car crash... I know what happens - and it's a tragic shocker! Nico also decides that she wants to find her real dad. Knowing Hollyoaks, it won't be plain sailing and we're sure to discover yet more Blake family secrets and lies. Who do you think is Nico's dad? And how will Sienna and Patrick feel about her wanting to discover him?
Lindsey is set to be caught up in Grace Black's latest scheme, and is forced to help her out over new character, Big Bob. What will pregnant Lind's have to do?
Cindy's heartbreaking Bipolar story is also set to take more dark twists, as she begins to believe that Sinead is having an affair with 'Rhys'. Wanting to run away, 'Rhys' tells Cindy that they can't leave without his baby daughter with Sinead - Katy, who we know sadly died from a heart defect earlier in the year. Believing that Tony and Diane's daughter Dee Dee is Katy, Cindy snatches her and runs out in front of a bus...
I'm also sure that Maxine Minniver is going to return over the coming weeks (she has to, right?) I'm a little bemused about how this week there has been no mention of her, or of Dodger, who we last saw get arrested. Did Dennis make it to the airport in time to tell her what happened? Who knows... unless I missed something!

I haven't really covered Coronation Street much, or Emmerdale at all, on Telly Jolly, as feedback at the beginning told me that 'Enders and 'Oaks were the faves.
But with Ken Barlow's return to Corrie last night, and Rob desperately trying to cover the fact that he murdered Tina, and not Ken's son, Peter, it looks as though it'll be just as action packed in Weatherfield this month.
Emmerdale is also preparing to tie up Donna Windsor's story, as she's currently been given just weeks to live, leaving her young daughter, April, with dad Marlon, who only recently learned of his daughter's existence. Marlon, who is set to marry Laurel, has found himself growing feelings for ex-wife, Donna, in her last days. What's going to happen there?

REALITY TV is next on the agenda, and the main player, Big Brother, is nearing the end. Last night, we learned that Christopher, Pav, Mark and Winston are all 'currently' up for eviction this week. I notcied Rylan announce 'currently' in such a way that almost stated things could soon change. Emma Willis promised that this week would concentrate on the Power of Money. Oo-err - the last time money was involved in a massive twist was when Connor walked away with half the prize fund a couple of years ago by sacrificing his place in the house. I wonder if something similar will happen this week?
If noms do stay as they are - I hope that Mark leaves. He's been almost unbearable for me to watch this week and is grating on me so much that I'm grateful to be going on holiday, in the hope that when I return he'll have been evicted!
I still want Helen to win... After that, I wonder who'll be this years Celebrity BB housemates?!
Looking ahead - the BBC is introducing Tumble this weekend, a new reality show where celebs train with Olympic gymnasts and perform routines... Expect lots of blood, sweat and tears - there have already been injuries and Mr Motivator (yes, him!) has already had to pull out due to one. It's basically Strictly Come Dancing, but on a balance beam!
The X Factor is also due for a return at the end of the month and this new trailer just oozes excitement. Welcome back Simon and Cheryl, eh!

So that's my round up done... I'm now off to pack my flip flops and find my sunglasses!

See you back here on the 15th, for a look towards the BB final!

TONIGHT'S HOLLYOAKS - Shock car crash...

Tonight's E4 first look Hollyoaks will air the shocking car crash as seen in the Six Weeks of Summer trailer. 

It looks as though the car will be carrying one or more members of the Lomax family...as it's their vehicle involved. 

                           

Viewers who watched E4's first look on Friday would have seen Leela reveal to Peri that she is her real mother. With Sam and Danny desperate to keep Peri with them, and having planned to move to New Zealand, will it be them involved in the smash?

Of course, it could also be Peri's real dad Cameron behind the wheel - or Leela herself - if they choose to head off with Peri together. 

Knowing Hollyoaks, though, they could always throw a twist in and see someone steal the Lomaxes car... Heading for peril. 

As the Six Weeks of Summer trailer shows, forensic examiners are at the scene of the crash. Does someone die? And was it a genuine accident or did someone run the car off the road on purpose?

What do you all think?

BIG BROTHER - Eviction night comes again

Emma and Rylan are ready to brng us another fab eviction!
Once again, it's Friday. Hurrah!

But it won't be a 'hurrah' for one of the Big Brother housemates, as three of them face eviction tonight. After a week of 'normal' nominations, and no nomination twists - Chris, Pav and Zoe are all facing the chop.
It was nice having a week of normality with the nom process, especially after a few weeks of BB chopping and changing the rules. Although I have a sneaky feeling that next week won't be as easy. Surely they'll make another mega twist, especially as we're nearing the end...

As for who's going to go, my money would be on Pav for definite tonight. The public just haven't taken to him it seems, and neither have I. Granted, I have felt sorry for him when he's felt alone or out of the group, but he's not really shown or given much in my opinion.

This week, where we had the Power, proved a tough one for the housemates, with the fact that they have found out a little about what people 'on the outside' think of them. Mark and Helen were probably the two less than impressed.
I've gone off Mark even more, although I have never really taken to him anyway. As I've said - yes, he can be funny with his remarks - but I think he's extremely self-centered and selfish. He'd stab a mate in the back quick-time, especially if it meant getting a free spray tan!
He was nicer to Christopher this week, apologising for certain traits in his behavior - although I think it was a ploy to make himself look a bit better, realising that he could be coming across badly. I know he has a lot of fans, but that's my take on Mark.

Helen is growing on me more and more. Which, if I'm completely honest, I didn't want to happen. She doesn't seem the most popular out here, and I always get a bit of stick for saying that she's one of my faves. I didn't have many nice things to say about her in the beginning - calling her 'horrid Helen,' I believe, at one point! But she's turned it around for me.

Ex-housemate, Kimberly, who yesterday revealed that she has sadly suffered an ectopic pregnancy with Steven's baby, which caused her to leave the house, hit the nail on the head this week about Helen. Kim said that she had her heart set on Helen to win, because she's honest and real. And people sometimes don't take to honestly well...which is why she could be unpopular. This is true. I think I've said before that Helen is the most honest in my opinion, but she just doesn't deliver it well, and I still stand by that.

Helen has made me laugh, made me angry, been honest and made mistakes. That's a real person, and we've all done each of those things, right?

So far, I'd like to see Helen crowned, with Ash or Winston not so far behind.

From things I've heard and seen on Twitter, though, it could be Ashleigh who walks away crowned winner... but she's not been honest all the way through, has been sly and a little manipulative. Not very good traits to have...

As it's Big Brother, though... Opinions can change on a daily basis... And we've still got a little way to go!

What's your opinion on the last week's happenings?
