CBB - Time to be loud about it...

I've not blogged about this series of CBB, even though there has been loads to shout about! But I shall now break my silence, at what I'm hoping is just the right time...

Last week was the first full week in the house, even though it feels like we've been watching the drama-filled abode for about a month already!
I wasn't sure if this bunch of housemates would bring the entertainment of previous series' but I think it's actually been the best bit of BB telly in years. Tiffany's meltdown over the wrong David dying was actual gold. It was that uncomfortable I-know-I-shouldn't-laugh-but-I-have-to moment. It was here, too, that I began to change my views on certain housemates I thought I liked. John, for example. The worm turned here, as he headed up the 'get Tiffany out' brigade. The girl made a genuine mistake, and yes, she was shouting still at Angie afterwards, but I think it was more embarrassment than nastiness. We've all been there. I also don't understand why Kristina felt unsafe being around Tiffany, unless something happened which we weren't allowed to see by the people that be.

When you thought that David-gate couldn't be topped, off kicked Megan! Many girls have promised to show their boyfriends the video of her almighty blowup during future domestics. Megan's rant would make even Katie Hopkins shudder, I'm sure! But she did tell the truth, about John especially. And there was no need for him to correct her, or antagonise the situation, but he did.
John hasn't done himself many favours over the last few days, and nominating Darren Day proved that he wasn't actually that good a mate.
I also had respect for Megan, for when she walked back into the house, she remembered the whole argument, some word-for-word, so alcohol couldn't have had that big an affect.

But then, it was over to Stephanie Davis. Now - I don't agree that Jeremy is all innocent, as he shouldn't have pursued someone who had a boyfriend. But, he has tried to pull away, a number of times, and that's only what we've actually seen in an hours show. Steph crying in the diary room about upsetting Sam (her man) and then ten minutes later popping off to see Jeremy and jumping into his bed proved that she wasn't 'misunderstood' or 'naive' - she is actually a bit of a tartypants. And that's being polite!
Jeremy even said to her that she wants to have her cake and eat it, and I agree. The girl hasn't once accepted that her behaviour is the reason she's doubtful that Sam will still be by her side on the outside world. It's been Big Brother's fault, Jeremy's fault, other housemates' fault for mentioning about it... Everyone but her!
And on Sunday nights show, Stephanie didn't like Jeremy pushing her away, so she got him on the sofa, and told him that she loved him! 'Of course you don't, it's been ten days', Jeremy told her. And that's where he should have left it... Platonically until they leave the house. But Jeremy seems to me, a weak man, who can't refuse Steph's advances.

Stephanie's row with Gemma, who can't help but involve herself in everyone's drama!, really showed her colours. Gemma only said aloud what everyone else was gossping about. I loved Scotty T, who had revealed to the house that Jeremy and Steph HAD snogged, hiding under the duvet. It was his fault the house knew the truth!
Gemma was in the right throughout her argument, and Steph still couldn't admit her actions were the problem. No it wasn't Gemma, or the other housemates' business, but hearing someone cry about their relationship, only to do no favours to themselves five mins later must be annoying. I think I'd of said the same as Gemma in that situation. Twitter went into meltdown, and even Steph's ex-Hollyoaks castmates had no nice words about her... She's exactly what she says on the tin. But I can't wait to watch more!

And we may not have to wait much longer, as the CBB Facebook page has asked this question...

Yes, that is Sam Reece. Stephanie's 'boyfriend.' 

As it came from the official page, I'm thinking that there could be some truth... David Gest (who I'm gutted about leaving!) needs replacing, right? 

But would Sam have been a choice if there was no Steph/Jeremy fling? I hope it's not all been staged, on Steph's part. I think Jeremy is being completely honest about his feelings. 

Sam going in, however, would be AMAZING telly. I'd love him to go in, shake Jeremy's hand and say 'good luck...' and then crack on to make friends with everyone else, leaving Steph ignored and in the corner! 

It might be one of the best reunions of BB history, but will it cause too much trouble? 

In the excitement of the rumour, there's also an eviction tonight... John, Daniella, Tiffany and Kristina. It;ll be between John and Kristina I'd imagine. But to be honest, all I care about is getting Sam in that house!!

CBB: Twist of the Eviction

Tonight - all housemates face eviction and the public (that's us!) have been voting to save our fave, but this is no normal eviction... No, tonight the four housemates with the most votes will indeed be saved, whereas the five unlucky ones left will face an ultimate battle of survival.

This battle has been kept under secret lock and key, but Emma Willis has promised that it's HUGE and will cause (even more!) fireworks.
Let's hope it won't cause too many though, as the best part is, that the whole thing will play out live tonight.

I think that Natasha, James, and Sherrie will be saved, along with either Bobby or Janice. I did think Chloe&Stevi, but with Chloe's behaviour this week, I'm not sure the public will want to keep the pair in any longer.
Not in a horrid way, but because it's clear that Chloe Jasmine is very, very vulnerable and insecure. I've winced while watching her cry inconsolably one minute to bouncing off the walls the next. Now, I'm no psychiatrist and I rarely agree with much that Jenna Jameson says in the house, but Chloe's moods are so quick to change and far apart from each other, that I'd be very surprised if she wasn't suffering from some kind of mental health issue, such as Bipolar Disorder. It's hard viewing, and must be even harder to live with.
Stevi looks like he's constantly walking on eggshells around her, and the need he feels to pander to her and give constant reassurance must be tiring... I feel sorry for them both, but think that Chloe would be best to leave the house, and if Stevi was in there alone, maybe he could have a freer experience?

The rest of the house have also been commenting on how Farrah has been 'much nicer' to live with since she and Jenna returned. They have been a tad better behaved (or maybe we just haven't seen the kick offs) but I think it's Jenna who's changed the most, because she genuinely looked embarrassed and hurt by the fact that the joke was on them while in the secret part of the house.
Jenna's a smart woman and she's savvy to the world - so to have BB get one over on her must have hurt her pride, and maybe in hindsight she saw that the nasty things she was saying were actually very uncalled for. I also hope that she's seen Farrah as the stuck-up, whiny adult-child that she is. Jenna seems a loyal person, so she will stick by Farrah's side while they're in the house together. It's a shame as she could have gone far in the game, but I wonder now if it's too little, too late for her to fully redeem herself.

Then there's Janice, who is a law unto herself and TV gold. Yes, she's in her own world, and people let her get away with lots more (except Austin, who calls almost anyone out!) but I think the British public like Janice enough to allow her to be the last American standing in CBB this year. Austin will be behind her, as second American, but the Brits will rule overall.
Austin had a rough one this week, too, with his brother's anniversary, and the Chloe Jasmine hoo-ha. I agreed that Chloe could have stood by the door while they toasted, if she didn't want to be part of the toast, because of her problems with alcohol, and it was a fair comment to make when Austin said that she had been around alcohol for her entire time in the house, and even Stevi drinking around her, so it hurt him that she missed three minutes of a special time for him. I don't actually think this had anything to do with alcohol, and that it was more that Chloe couldn't deal with the thought of the housemates toasting the anniversary of Austin's brother's death, and the sadness and emotion of it all.
Again, highlighting to me that she does have issues a lot deeper than alcoholism.

With a packed week ending in tonight's live battle of survival, it'll be interesting viewing tonight... Come on Team UK!

CBB: Mean Girls never win

Celeb BB couldn't have come at a worse time for me - I had a holiday bang in the middle of the first and second week, so was worried I'd lose my way in following the UK vs USA housemates.

I managed to keep up with the app, and the ferocious Twitter expletives while away and soon learned that Farrah and Jenna were not popular. At all. With ANYONE.

Since I've been home and caught up, I can see why.
At first, Jenna came across as someone who could have gotten on with most of the other housemates, but by sticking with Farrah she's turned into a much nastier, bitter-tongued version of her American mate.
Especially since being in the secret (or not-so-secret) bunker over the weekend...

I could easily ignore Farrah the Follower if I were a housemate of hers, and I even find myself switching off when she speaks, whilst watching the show. The girl has no substance behind anything she says. 'Bitches', 'Fake-Ass' and 'Dumb-Ass' seem to be her staple vocabulary. Unless of course, she's repeating anything Jenna has literally just said.
Most of the things Farrah says, she doesn't even know the meaning of, which makes her comments and arguments irrelevant.
Jenna on the other hand is a nasty piece of work, I'd say.

She seems to have quite the vendetta against Natasha, who I can't see has done anything wrong. Yes, she stands up for herself, and isn't afraid to front up to the house Mean-Girls. I think Jenna sees Tash as a threat, because she's a strong-minded woman.
What she (and Farrah the Follower) said about Tash 'having yet another baby by another man', and calling her an alcoholic was unforgivable, and if Tash doesn't front them about it upon their return, I'll be very surprised. There's no need to bring children into your jealous rages, Jenna. And as someone said on Twitter - at least Tash's children won't grow up knowing there are videos online of 'men s****ing their mothers back doors in', unlike the two said Mean-Girls of the house!
I think Jenna and Farrah's problem with James and Bobby is the same as that of Tash - theyare not afraid to say their piece.

The public couldn't have picked a better pair to go into the secret lair. Their chants of 'we rule' and 'we've won' were so cringe worthy, especially knowing that actually - they had lost.

I can't wait to watch tonight's show to see the house kick-off at the Mean-Girls return, when the two find out that the joke is and was actually on them.
Of course, they will state that they don't care... But they will. A lot.
They've both been mean about every housemate, apart from Scoop, and none of this bunch will take it lying down. Janice and Sherrie could also be rather entertaining, should they out the girls for comments about them...

It looks like Jenna and Farrah won't be staying put long, either, as rumour has it that they will be evicted tomorrow. After all, it was a fake-fake eviction last week. Half of me wanted them to stay put for a few more days, purely on causing entertainment by rubbing everyone up the wrong way, but horrid girls like that don't deserve chances. So I hope they do both swiftly leave, not just the house, but the UK altogether!
Other than that, all other housemates, except Tash, Bobby, James and Austin will all now face the public vote.

I'm not sure who will leave, but Gail may be next... She isn't coping too great, and I think she's craving home.
Stevi and Chloe Jasmine seem popular enough out here, but she's quite insecure in their relationship, and possibly in all aspects of herself, isn't she? I thought at the start that Stevi could be the one to be the couples downfall in the house, but he comes across very level headed and keeps Chloe calm. They're constantly pandering each others needs and it seems a very full-on relationship. Even Sherrie has noted that they shouldn't need to live in each others pockets, as Chloe seems to want to.

Tonight's highlights look set to be unmissable - who's your faves so far, and what are your opinions on Farrah and Jenna?

CBB: Launch Night Review

In the RED corner... In the BLUE corner... It began all very American, didn't it! Or like an episode of Gladiators!
The launch itself was very well done, with laughs from the overly excited housemates, awkward stage interviews with Emma for the Americans who - well, just don't seem to 'get it' (Farrah Abraham!) and the nervousness of most of the UK housemates.
As usual, Emma Willis made the launch what it was. She's a great presenter, so likable and her love for the show shines through at all times.

I was unsure I'd enjoy the UK vs USA theme, as I've said before, some of the American housemates that have previously graced our CBB house have been a nuisance, and grated on many of us while trying to watch. But after what I saw last night I think I might enjoy the war of the two countries, especially as a mini cat-fight has already kicked off between Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton and 16 and Pregnant's Farrah Abraham.

So far, the housemates have not been well received on social media, and labeled as let-downs. I'm trying to look on the bright side, and on second thoughts, on the Brit side, we've got a couple of crackers. I'm not too over keen on any of the USA housemates, apart from Scoop, who seems funny and down to earth, but he could soon stir some trouble, I'm sure.

Austin Armacost
On entering the house and while speaking briefly to Emma, Austin seemed up-himself, arrogant and a bit of a pain. But he's had some good feedback from those who have met him before as being a nice guy, so we'll soon see. To be honest, I'd never heard of him before last night, so can't really have an opinion until I see more of his time in the house...

Chris Ellison
I really liked Chris' intro video... I think he'll be one of those housemates that looks tough, but on the inside he's just a teddy bear. I think he'll want to win tasks and be very patriotic that the UK team do well. He seemed very friendly towards everyone and remembered Natasha from years ago, before she was even famous with Atomic Kitten. To me, this proves he must be a genuine person, as not many 'celebs' take notice of much around them!

Daniel Baldwin
Daniel seems friendly enough, and not too OTT for his background. He wants to mingle and get to know everyone, which I sometimes think the USA housemates struggle to do. Again, I don't know much about him personally to comment, but I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll bring. I also think he'll be the American sides Alpha male.

Farrah Abraham
She's already annoyed Natasha, by being a sore loser, and has said that she doesn't have time for people who want to play as part of the team, so maybe she will be one who wants to win. Farrah has come across a tad immature so far, so I'm not sure she will really bond with anyone apart from maybe Tila Tequila.

Gail Porter
Gail got lots of cheers and rightly so. She will add to the group of UK housemates, who are all relatively 'normal', which is what I think works to do well in CBB. Gail seemed quiet last night, but I think after a few days she will find her voice and be somewhat of a leader in the house, along with Natasha, who she already seems to have had some history with. The two get on well, so may be a force to be reckoned with in there... In a good way.

James Hill
Confident little soul, isn't he! Confident or cocky, not quite sure, but James might be like Marmite. I think I'll end up laughing at him, and then wanting him off my screen for five minutes! He seems open to love (or lust!) so who knows what might happen here...

Jenna Jameson
A self-proclaimed 'monster', I don't know anything about Jenna to give an opinion, only from what I've seen last night. She's said she isn't really one to hold her tongue, either, but I always find the ones who say this upon entering are usually the ones to stay schtum. Jenna also says she intimidates people... I can see what she means, as last night she seemed quite brash, but that could have been nerves or her way of trying to get her personality across. Of all of the American girls, she's the one I don't mind so much, so far.

Natasha Hamilton
I like Natasha, and always found her to be honest, upfront and fun-loving whenever I've seen her before. I think she's got what it takes to be a good housemate, an all-rounder, who everyone can see a bit of themselves in. She will say her piece (she already has with Farrah), but will do so fairly and also bring comfort and friendliness, too. She could go all the way.

Scoop
My favourite American so far, altogether. He was funny, when after only the second person entered, said he couldn't be beothered getting up all the time to greet the latest celeb to enter!
Scoop's entry interview with Emma was fun and friendly, too, but I'm under no illusion he could easily get the hump if things progressively go in a way he's not happy with!

Sherrie Hewson
I was pleased when I saw Sherrie go in first. Her appearance on Celeb Come Dine with Me proved she's an accident waiting to happen, but in an endearing and lovable kind of way. Already causing a giggle during the Battle for Supremacy task, at the end of the launch last night, she forgot to load her ball into the launcher... This is the kind of scatty actions we can expect from Sheree, who I think, like Natasha, will also do well.

Stevi Ritchie & Chloe Jasmine
The pair are one housemate, but while they are both probably very nice people, Stevi's niceness and eagerness to please may soon grate on people. I also think he could be very high on energy at times, and need reeling in. Maybe that's why he and Chloe work... She seems sweet and genuinely lovely. Nothing against Stevi, but I think Chloe has the legs to go far, but Stevi may just halt them both from going far. They are both (especially Stevi) deeply patriotic, which may firce them forward to those of us supporting team UK!

Tila
I think Tila will be the annoying housemate of the series. Bless her, she doesn't seem to have much to bring, if her intro video has anything to go by. She's very patriotic for her American roots and says she's not all sexual but actually pretty 'goofy' too. Lets see if she can change opinions I've seen about her over the next few days...

Tonight's show will see Bobby Davro and Janice Dickenson enter the house, with the aim to become power housemates, battling it out to be named Prime Minister or President of their respective countries in the house.
I think Janice will end up being my fave American, as she was great in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and Bobby is laways game for a laugh, although like Stevi - may be too much on the joke front and rub some people up the wrong way.

With the Brits having won the first battle last night for Supremacy, will we continue to shine over the Americans?

CBB - First look reaction

Summer's officially over, or at least it certainly feels like it this morning! And what better way to cheer up our hearts than the three day countdown to Celebrity Big Brother...

Welcome to the Diary Room, ya'll!

These are the first look pictures released of the house, and the UK v USA theme is like TOTALLY happening. 

I must admit that the house looks, in my opinion, to be more in America's favour. There are Union Jack cushions scattered on the sofas, but the stars and stripes seem to certainly be dominating the living area, don't you think?

My point continues over into the kitchen and dining area, too. As the All American Diner look is obvious for all to see...

Milkshake, anyone?

The typical British decor does pop up, however, in this seating area, which reminds me a little bit of an old English library or study... 

But don't fear, American's - you're also the dominance of the garden, it seems, with a cool looking replica of the Statue of Liberty, bang in the middle of the swimming pool...

 

The bedroom, I think, is my favourite looking area so far, with its Pop Art theme. 

All in all the house looks good, but as I said, the American decor certainly seems to dominate in these photos. 

Not that that's a bad thing, I just hope that when we see the whole house it's more 50/50. It would have been nice to maybe see an Old English kitchen, with a pantry - Downton Abbey style. Come to think of it, that could be a good task idea, in homage to the Rich/Poor side task from a few years ago. 

It was a popular one, and it would be great to see the American housemates play the part of kitchen staff, while the Brits live the posh highlife! And then vice-versa, having the US celebs lording it up to the UK housemates dismay... 

Natasha Hamilton from Atomic Kitten and The Apprentice's James Hill are the latest UK rumours for entering the house on Thursday, along with Christopher Ellison, Jason Gardiner, Sherrie Hewson and Carol Vorderman.

On Team USA David Guest, Lindsey Lohan's mum, Dina and (much to my boyfriend's delight) Tila Tequila! (Oo-err!)

BBOTS presenter Rylan has said that his ultimate dream USA housemate WILL be entering - wonder who it could be?!

What do you think of the new look house, and who are you hoping to enter on Thursday?

CELEBRITY BB: UK vs USA - No competition!

CBB will soon be returning, and as we (might) already know, this year hosts a UK vs USA theme. 

The rumour mill has been rife as always as to who will be heading through those infamous doors only weeks after the civilian addition saw Chloe Wilburn win her way into the public's heart. 

Part of me always prefers the civilian, traditional Bog Brother only because I like to get opinions of people I've never met and heard of, and watch as those people change my mind week after week! Which is why I almost always never whinge should the 'celebs' who enter the CBB house aren't always well famously known. 

Don't get me wrong, I'd love nothing more than watching Eammon Holmes having a cuppa in the smoking area along with Victoria Beckham, but I doubt that'll ever happen. Not in the CBB house, at least. 

With this year being a UK vs USA theme it'll mean more than two or three American housemates going in, which alwaysgrinds on me a tad. Yes, there have been a few good entertaining Americans in our CBB houses, but I never warm to any of them. I find the USA celebs too overbearing and, just a tiny bit irritating, But that's just me...

Doesn't Rylan look handsome!

As Emma and Rylan pose for these new press shots, it seems that CBB is only round the corner. And I can't wait!

Call me patriotic, but surely it's a no brainier as to who will triumph... C'mon UK!

CBB: Time to cut 'The Perez Show'

Well, It's all been a tad uncomfortable to watch, hasn't it.

Perez and his antics are now - for me - far less entertaining and more uncomfortable to sit and see. The other night (after he walked back into the house, from his 'secret task', or as I like to call it 'safety net') all hell broke loose.

Big Brother really did give him a free pass through to another week with that pretend walk-out, and even though he's now been gifted by the public, eternal nomination, he's been given a very easy ride.
Especially over the weekend, when he became more and more disgraceful, topping it off by his lewd remarks back to Calum. Big Brother did give Perez a final warning, saying that his line to Calum could have been taken as threatening behavior, but in my opinion, if it were anyone else, they'd have been kicked out there and then.

Calum handled it very well, and even though he said that he was annoyed he almost lost his cool, most other people in the world would have lost it all the more. Calum was dignified throughout...

Elsewhere, Friday night saw Nadia go. I wasn't surprised and imagine it to have been a close call between her and her BFF Perez in the house. I think that so much happens daily with this bunch of celebs, it's hard to really miss anyone when they leave.

I'll be interested to see if Nadia still feels the same way about her BFF now she has the opportunity to watch things back. But I think she would rather stay ignorant to him and his actions.

Tonight, there's a two-hour CBB extravaganza, with a live bombshell during the 8pm-9pm show. The housemates will each receive their letters from home, all the while, we have a short time to evict one of them. Emma will then strut into the house, and take the unsuspecting housemate by the hand - leading them out.

Perez needs to go. And he needs to go now.

Vile man. And that's the end of my talking of him. I'm shutting the Perez show down.

So after another mad week, here's my latest opinion on the remaining bunch:

Calum Best:

Did himself proud over the weekend, with handling the tool that is Perez Hilton. Calum got a great backing on Twitter and I think he might win. I also hope he does, too. I know I've always been Bestie's biggest fan, but he's been consistent, true and fair. As the hashtag says #maytheBESTmanwin!

Cam Li:
I can still take or leave Cami and wouldn't know if she left... She doesn't offend me, but doesn't thrill me as a viewer, either. Her snipes at Perez are great, though! I think she could be next to go - after or along with Perez, I hope!

Katie Hopkins:
Whoever thought it would be a case of agreeing with this woman more than disagreeing? I like to call her CBB Katie, as this is the version I actually like. Outside world Kate might be a different story! She handled Perez very well, especially when he tried to lick her face. I think, because she's outspoken, he tried to get her to go for him, so that she would be the one in trouble. But Katie H is far too clever for that... She also seems a hit with the public, too. I think she might come second or third at this rate.

Katie Price:
I can't take to her. I find her almost as insecure as Alicia Douvall was, but in a different way. Who IS the real Katie Price? I don't think anyone will ever know... When she speaks, I never know how genuine to take her. I think she hoped to change some public perception of her, and she does have a massive fan base who love her. I'd have a chat with her, if I were a housemate, but wouldn't trust her at all. I don't know what it is - I've always felt that way. Sorry Pricey fans!

Kavana:
Again, he's been up and down. Vodka really isn't his friend, and he does turn a little with it, but he's just trying to have a good time. I felt sorry for him in the team task, where his lot were up against Calum. He was exhausted lifting and moving the weights for his team! As I've previously said, he seems a nice guy. Good luck, Kav.

Keith Chegwin:
Cheggers has lost his way a little since being nominated. It upset him and he also let it take him over the edge a tad. He's been biting at Katie H quite a bit, but I think Perez has been trying to suck him in. He's flown off the handle a fair bit too, for not much reason, and I think he has turned into a bit of a grump. CBB is even deflating Cheggers, now. Noooo!

Michelle Visage:
Still as upfront and real as ever. She's a real all rounder, and where she doesn't suck into Perez, she also doesn't bite her words with Katie Hopkins either. I like the 'friendship' between Michelle and Katie. It's like two people who were destined to hate each other actually managed to forge an alliance. Michelle will be in the top four, I think.

Perez Hilton:

CBB: Nominations revealed and it's a girly one!

It's that time of week again, when the housemates find out who's up for tomorrow night's eviction...

And the lucky four are:

Katie Hopkins

Patsy Kensit

Nadia Sawalha 

Cami Li

Katie H kept a very straight, unsurprised face, while Patsy was so excited at the thought, she danced a sit-down sofa jig! Nadia nodded, knowingly, while Cami Li looked a little upset... 

Perez still wasn't about during the reveal, so I'm not sure whether he nominated solely, or if they are real nominations, but on social media sites, comments like 'Perez has got away with it as he's in hiding' and 'It's a fix, BB wants to keep Perez, so this task is a way round that' are pointing to Perez's fate being in the hands of Big Brother and not us public. 

I'm not sure if BB would let this happen, because they would know there would be a 'fix' outcry, and if the housemates did nominate him, then maybe he's up, too, but obviously they couldn't reveal this to the house... 

If Perez had solely nominated, it's a shock that he put up his one pal, Nadia... 

Hmm... 

I guess we'll have to watch the full story in tonight's show...

But if it is just this four, then my money's on Cami to go. 

CBB REVIEW OF THE WEEK

SOAP GOSS

DRAMA NEWS

 

CBB - My latest review, and the newest of twists...

I early on during this series came to realise that if I posted a CBB blog each or every other day - I'd be doing about 200 per day! 

So much happens in the space of 24 hours in this mad house!

While that's been great viewing, I can imagine the housemates are at the end of their tethers. 

Friday saw Alicia leave the house, and I hate to join the bandwagon, but she won't be missed. In fact, it's only been two days and most have forgotten that she was ever there. No because of anything negative about her being, but simply because the housemates that are still in have given us even more treats (or tricks) for our entertainment. 

The hacker task, which we saw on screen last night was one of my favourites EVER! It caused the right mix of laughter and drama. 

Just seeing Perez's face when he realised that the great British public had not only called him two-faced, but unhygienic, too, was fab! And Katie Hopkins sprinted dance around the living area in glee at this news was even fabber... If 'fabber' were to be a word!

People inside and outside the house are speculating on a Calum/Cami romance, but I don't see it. I think it's just a friendship, definitely on Bestie's part. I'm changing my mind constantly over Cami, but I don't think she flirts with Calum in a meaningful way, it's probably just housemate banter... So, it looks like this is the first CBB in years without a romance! Unless they suddenly chuck Dane Bowers in there... Pricey's torch for him still seems to be shining (and she'd love to get her own back on the cheating hubby, even if it is just a flirt here or there, I'm sure!)


Moving on to today, though - and it's the Brother of all twists... Remember Marcus saying about a shock 'walk-out' at the end of the credits rolling on last night's show? Well, that walk-out, as already revealed in the news, is Perez. But. before you all celebrate in excitement over never EVER seeing those butt-cheeks again, it's all a set-up, fake, task...
Big Brother asked Perez to stage a fake walk-out, and moved him into secret living quarters where he will have an influence over the goings on in the house.

Big Brother told the house: 

"Earlier today, Perez made the decision to leave the house and he will not be returning."

Nadia apparently remained expressionless when hearing the news, while Kavana said: "Wow I never thought I'd see that!"

Perez was excited to see his new living arrangements (hopefully there was no naked dancing!), and rushed straight to the headphones to hear the reactions of him leaving the house. (And boost his ego, which probably ended up flat, as I can imagine housemates celebrating in his wake!)

I'm not sure f I'm right in saying so, but Big Brother seems to be favouring Perez here... Sure, I think he's probably the best person for this job, task and entertainment-wise and it will give the whole house a break from his tiring antics, but as soon as he steps back in, all hell will break loose. He already thinks producers of the show love him, and this is sure to only feed that thought. 

See how this task goes on during tonight's show at 9pm on Channel 5. 

Meanwhile, here are my newest thoughts on our remaining celebrities:

Calum Best:

I'm like a broken record with Bestie. And no, I don't care! I'm still #TeamCalum and even though Perez and Alicia both said that he's 'boring', I disagree. When he has his airtime, he's opinionated, in a fair way and gives as good as what's thrown at him. As I said last week, I've always known Bestie to be a charming, lovely guy. And that's what he is... If he wins, I'll be a happy girl.

Cam Li:
I saw some tweets last night, calling her scary? Did I miss something? 

Cami is still a firecracker, and her comments at Perez are funny, but she's no Katie Hopkins. If she left, I wouldn't miss her presence as a viewer, but she doesn't overly irritate me, either. I think she might be one of the next couple of housemates to go, because she's not got enough to make people save her.

Katie Hopkins:
CBB Katie, I like you. I'm happy admitting that now... Real-life Katie Hopkins, we'd probably clash, as I don't agree with almost anything you've ever said out here in the real world, but, who knows... I guess I'd have to meet you to make an assumption! 

Her winding up of Perez had me laughing and it's no more than he deserves. When he was blowing kisses directly in her face, she did good to not respond. 

I think she'll be in the final, and do you know what, if she won - I wouldn't mind so much... as long as it wasn't Bestie she was beating!!

Katie Price:
Pricey hasn't stopped talking about her exes and sex - granted this may be 'her'. but wowza. She, and those close to her, will say I'm wrong, but I think Katie has issues, and a lot of them. In my opinion, she hasn't fully forgiven her husband for his infidelities and has taken him back because she has two young babies with him and doesn't want to be a single mum, again. She probably also hasn't ever gotten over some of her other exes, apart from Alex Reid, who I think she's definitely over!

Talking about her as a CBB housemate, though, she seems fair and wants to just keep the peace. No dramas, as people thought there would be, because I don't think she actually likes them. Pricey likes attention, but I don't think she enjoys the surrounding drama that comes with them. She will probably make it to the last week, but I'm not sure of where she'll come.

Kavana:
Kav got the short straw during the hacked task, when Perez, Nadia and Cami picked him as untrustworthy, and a couple of other not so nice things. He's not untrustworthy, and I actually think that he's quite a genuine guy, but he does let himself down after too many drinks, and the side we saw of hm against Keith wasn't too nice...

He probably won't go yet, as I'd be surprised if he was put up for eviction - he seems a nice enough lad, so good luck to him.

Keith Chegwin:
There's not much different I can say about Cheggers. He is what he is and everyone likes him! I felt so sorry for him when a drunk Kav was giving him a hard time. Keith just wants to help people and help people he will do. He may just come in third - but I don't think he'll win.

Michelle Visage:
I want to be her friend! She's gutsy and loyal - tells you what she thinks, without fear of upsetting you. And she doesn't upset, because she does it in such a genuine and nice way. 

I like her friendship with Katie - especially as Katie assumed that she wouldn't like Michelle! 

I still think she will make the end of the show.

Nadia Sawalha:
What has happened to Nadia? What Katie said about her treating Perez and letting him off like she would her child is absolutely spot on. 

Nadia said that she likes Perez's company, but I don't buy it. 

I think she dislikes Katie H so much that she would do anything to go against whatever Katie likes and go for whatever Katie hates. 

Even the Loose Women wanted her out, so that they could have the Nadia they know and love back. This one's obviously a stranger to all who know her...

Patsy Kensit:
I look at Patsy and think 'bless her'. She looks tired half the time, and scared the other half of the time! 

I'm not sure if it's just her but she has a permanently worried expression.

I wish we could see more of the Patsy who went in on launch night, because I thought she'd be a hoot. I'm not sure what it is, but something in there is holding her back and making her a kind-of recluse...

Perez Hilton:
Because I dislike the way Perez is constantly looking for any form of attention, I'm gong to do what I would do if I were in the CBB house. And pretend he's not there, for this part. Perez, who?

CBB - What the hell? Where to start...

If I'm being honest, I'm lost for words about the first week of CBB. What has gone on! 

Of course, Jeremy and Ken were ejected for their behaviours - but that's old news now because so much drama has happened since their departures, it almost feels like they were never there. 

On Friday night we saw Katie Price enter the house, and usually, I would have expected drama on her entrance. Especially as there are a couple of people in the house who she's had previous run-ins with (cough cough Katie H and Alicia...) 

But Katie P's entrance was even shrouded by the actions and outright madness of Perez Hilton. 

Before Pricey went in, the majority of house were at the end of their tether. 

Who else thinks that Perez should have got a warning for the way he 'gyrated' and 'performed' in the garden? 

If Ken had acted as such he would have been removed from the house (again) and yet Perez didn't even get a slap on the wrist. Michelle was visibly upset by his actions and while I still think that it's all for attention and show with Perez, there's definitely some sort of question mark over his mental state, too. He's antagonising the house. So much so that Alexander has walked - apparently because he couldn't trust himself not to go for Perez should be stay. 

I think it was strange that we didn't see Alexander in the diary and leave, as we usually do other walking housemates and maybe the reason is that he said he may not be able to stop himself going for Perez? 

It's a shame Alexander felt that way, and I do not think that he meant any malice when using the word f****t to Perez a couple of days ago. Americans do tend to use the word, without the same connotation it has in the UK. But having said that it was right for BB to give him a warning about it, because it is an offensive term over here. 

After Friday's eviction where we said 'see ya' to Chloe, and welcomed Pricey - Perez also heard chants of what the crowd thought of him. They want him out and he wasn't happy. 

He seems the kind of person who gives out insults, taunts people - yet can't take it when it's given back in his direction. 

Nadia, who I do like on the outside world, really needs to look at herself and see him for what he is, as she's damaging her rep by sticking up for his behaviour. 

When it was announced about Alexander's exit, did you notice how the housemates all left Perez sat on his own? 

They're angry and blame him. Especially Katie H, Cami and Michelle. Calum and Cheggers were also gutted but as men, kept it to themselves. 

Katie H and her subsequent actions are also of talking point. 

It was a little uncomfortable seeing her then re-taunt Perez and get in his face, but on the other hand, it is just a taste of his own medicine. 

She thinks that the house should take a stand and pretend he's not there, which then lead her to have a pop at those (Nadia, mainly) who laughed at him and stayed friendly. 

Michelle agreed, as did Cami, and a few of the others have also told Perez to stay away. 

Cheggers is possibly the friendliest person ever and even he had enough! I was also pleased to see Kavana make a stand and tell Alicia, who is a little bit slow with catching on to things - bless her - to watch out. 

Because of Alexander's exit, tomorrow's eviction - which saw Perez, Katie H, Nadia and Alicia up - has been cancelled and in its place a NOMINATIONS TWIST. 

So, have my opinions of anyone changed?  

Here's my humble opinion on the newest CBB housemates:

Alicia Douvall:
She still screams 'insecure' at me. But I think that Michelle was right when she said that Alicia likes to play victim, which is maybe part of her insecurities. She needs to open her eyes more to what's happening around her, and be more clued on. 

Calum Best:
Still my Best male housemate. 

Calum's been everything I was expecting him to be. He's got charm, wit and is a fair team player. He sticks up and supports those who need it without being false. I'm still #TeamCalum. 

Cam Li:
Well she's a little firecracker! Her attitude is fiery and she says it how it is. She's not stupid, and I've found myself agreeing with her about some things she's said. Especially regarding Perez. I like Cami, there have been worse than her. 

Katie Hopkins:

What's happened? I quite like Katie H. Maybe her opinions on people and life in general on the outside world are for reaction and this is the real her? 

Granted, she's not backwards when coming forwards and I've grimaced at some of the things she's said - but only because I'm thinking 'Oh god, she's saying what everyone else thinks and doesn't care!' 

She needs to be careful a BB warning isn't on the horizon because her mouth can sometimes run away with her (as we all already know!) But I've found her to be brutally honest, caring towards those who she's closest to and a bloody good housemate. 

Kavana:
Because of all the drama that's gone on we haven't seen as much of Kavana and some others as we may have if it wasn't the 'Perez Show' over the last few days. 

I think Kav is a quiet fella, but he's also on the ball with things - and wasn't afraid to tell Alicia to watch herself with Perez. And then remind her that he was right! Good on him, because from what we have seen of him, he's not afraid to stand up and be heard. 

Keith Chegwin:
Keith's diary room moments have made me laugh. He's like an old woman, picking up people's used tissues and having a go (rightly so!) about feet on the kitchen counters. 

He's everything we all knew he would be and I hope Keith makes it to the end. 

Michelle Visage:
Michelle definitely is the kind of person who will speak her mind and I like her a lot. She's got pizazz and flair. She's also fair and sticks up for what she believes in. 

I also hope she makes the end. 

Nadia Sawalha:
Nadia has unfortunately done herself no favours. Not just because she's pally with Perez - that's her choice... But I hope that she's not just sticking with him on a loyalty charge and because she now feels she has to. 

Katie H has upset her, by digging and saying the things about Perez's 'followers' - but I think Katie H does have a point. 

If Nadia's going to turn this around she's not got long. And I hope she does, because I think she's a nice woman. 

Patsy Kensit:
Patsy looks stressed a lot. As someone pointed out on Twitter over the weekend, she spends her time trying to go to bed, but never quite making it without someone's drama putting her in a panic!

I was amazed though, at her nominating Nadia and Perez and then siding up with them after Alexander's exit. Two-faced? Or just a worrier? I think she's a genuine person, but needs to be careful not to upset people with her ability to not tell them what she thinks. If you know what I mean... 

Perez Hilton:
Well, he doesn't make me chuckle anymore! 

He's a self-righteous, bullying show-off and I do not like him. 

Part of me sticks by his job making him the way he is (he's out for himself and doesn't care about what people think because if he's not first in line for a story, he'll lose) but Katie H is also someone who doesn't care about what people think and she's managed to show compassion. 

His tears and 'fears for his life' speeches had me in stitches. Part of me wants to keep watching but the other just wants him out because it's uncomfortable viewing. 

He may just have ruined his own career. 

Katie Price:

Okay, so I wouldn't say that I was a Pricey fan, but as a housemate in Big a Brother, she's so far been friendly and trying to make a nicer house. For what she's watched before entering, she knew that she needed to bring some sort of peace to a broken home. 

Because she's so open and doesn't care what people ask her, she's already spoken about her hubby's infidelities and how Dane Bowers cheated with Alicia (hence their 'beef' with each other). Alicia and Pricey have buried the hatchet - but I'm still looking forward to her 'cuppa and a chat' with Katie H! 

Do you agree with what I think or have you got another opinion?

CBB: Another one bites the dust

CBB has been back on screen for only five days, yet the second housemate has just been removed from the house!

After Jeremy's removal, following the incident with Chloe Goodman, which is said to be being looked into by police - Ken Morley has also now been thrown out. 

Ken received a formal warning over the weekend for using offensive racial language, along with saying inappropriate comments about some of the female housemates. 

This also means that tomorrow nights eviction, where Ken was facing the public vote alongside Chloe and Alexander, has now been cancelled.

Ken's been removed from the house...

Celebrity Big Brother producers released the following statement:
"Ken Morley has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house for using unacceptable and offensive language following his formal warning. Tuesday's eviction is now cancelled and lines are now closed. Anyone who has already voted will be able to apply for a full refund and details will be available on the Big Brother website within 24 hours."

I'm wondering if BB bosses will now use tomorrow's live show as a way to put a new housemate in... 

Talk about a Twisted Fairytale theme... Things have been dark in there the last few days, that's for sure...

CBB: Cheggers & Katie battling for the win!

The housemates have only been living in the Celebrity Big Brother house for approx 16 hours - and the odds for who's to win are already causing chitter chatter!

Ladbrokes have revealed that it's a massive surprise at who's up there as one of the favorites - yes, it's KATIE HOPKINS!

I assumed earlier this morning that Katie would be way down there, but maybe fans are thinking my way - that she'll be ab-fab to watch!

Cheggers is fave so far, with fans backing him so early on that his odds collapsed to just 11/4, making him the red-hot favourite for the CBB crown, ahead of Nadia who's odds are 4/1.

In third is Katie, at 5/1, with my 'Best', Calum,coming in fourth so far, at 7/1.

Chloe is the favorite to leave first, against Alexander. But she's also the least favorited against the whole house too, with Cami Li and Alicia Douvall just as unpopular, all with odds of 50/1 to win.

There are also more fun odds on the go, with Cami's ex Kirk Norcross in at 4/1 to enter the house, along with it being 10/1 that Simon Cowell will sue Alicia Douvall - after her kiss and tell claims, from two years ago.

Are you surprised, though, that Katie comes in so highly?

Ladbrokes seem to think that she may even climb higher, as favorite to win.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "It's rapidly looking like it's a case of when and not if Katie joins Cheggers at the top of the market. She could well become the clear favourite if punters continue to throw cash at her odds."

Who's your fave so far?

Celebrity Big Brother: #KeepKenInCBB campaign

Ken Morley walked into the Celebrity Big Brother house last night, and surprisingly, there is already a campaign to keep him in the house, by SafeStyle.

Now, as I've mentioned earlier, my absolute favourite and man to win is Calum Best - BUT, I'm really happy to support the #KeepKenInCBB campaign, as every time the hashtag is used on Twitter, SafeStyle will make a donation to the Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.

You'll all surely agree this is a great cause?

CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER - Best line up yet?

We were promised the best line up yet for this year's first Celebrity Big Brother - and maybe, just maybe, we got it...

Some of the new housemates may not be as well known as others (but isn't this something we always expect?) and some fans have it out at there being too many Americans in the house (but I do think the U.S. housemates are a good mix, for once). 

We then have the people who are well known, but, as BBOTS presenter Rylan had said earlier this week, they're not staples on the current reality TV circuit. 

This bunch, from what I see so far - and along with the twisted fairytale theme - will make a great series. 

Here's my humble opinion on the newest CBB housemates:

Alexander O'Neal:
The RnB singer, to me, seems like he'll find it hardest to fit into the group. although he has said that he's up for a 'challenge' while being in the house.
He's already up for the first public vote, after Katie Hopkins decided that he was one of the two most boring housemates. I wouldn't call him boring, but I can imagine that he'll be one of those who fades into the background - so technically he may be there for a while as he may not be someone to stick out in peoples minds to nominate...

Alicia Douvall:
She screams 'insecure' at me.
The model has said to have had around 330 cosmetic operations, but, bless her, they've clearly not made her feel any better about herself. She's already said that she doesn't cook or clean, which could be her downfall, should she get the 'lazy housemate' label. I don't think she'll last too long in there, to be honest.

Calum Best:
He's my absolute favourite male in there. I really liked Calum from years before, so when I heard that he was a possible housemate, I was excited.
He's had his demons in the past, so will probably be one of the wisest people in the house, he seems like a lovely gent and his dad, George, is probably beaming with pride from heaven.
Calum will have to do something major to change my opinion of him. He's the Best. (Pardon the pun!)

Cam Li:
Who? Was my first question when I saw her head in to the house. I then realised that she was the girl engaged to Kirk from TOWIE for a very short period of time. I'm not sure whether or not she seems like a sweet girl underneath the ' I've arrived!' exterior. Time will tell, I guess!

Chloe Goodman:
Again, I wasn't sure who she was... I'd never watched Ex on the Beach, so I don't have any previous opinion of Chloe.
From reading up on her she seems like a down to earth girl, who wants to just show the world who she really is, rather than the interpretation made of her. Unluckily for Chloe, Katie also chose her as the second person to be up for eviction. Between her and Alexander, I'm not sure who will leave yet.

Jeremy Jackson:
He was in Baywatch, and knows The Hoff, so probably has a few good stories to tell. He also won his Baywatch role over Leonardo DiCaprio, which I'd imagine was no mean feat. I think he and Calum will probably get a bromance started pretty quickly.

Katie Hopkins:
Where do I start?! I dislike 9/10 things this woman says, and disagree with just as many of her opinions, which only means one thing. She'll probably be a fantastic housemate!
The opinions she was giving during her secret task as the housemates were going in had me both gasping and laughing at the tellybox.
She'll probably be evicted at first chance, which is a shame - because as nasty as she can be, she's definitely going to great TV!

Kavana:
Oh bless him, he's really trying to hang on to that last thread of fame. I mean, most recently he joined the Big Reunion as part of a new boy band, 5th Story, made up of old pop star pin ups, and he just about remembered their names! I'm sure he's a lovely guy, and he might go far, as like Alexander, probably won't rub too many people up the wrong way.

Keith Chegwin:
Everyone likes Keith, don't they?
He'll probably, slowly, get on most of the housemates nerves with his wacky ways - but viewers will like him. And he's also had a decent sized career, met a good few celebs, so will have more than a few stories to tell! He's also a massive Big Brother fan, which is what we want in a celeb housemate!

Ken Morley:
It's Reg, from Corrie! He also seems a bit wacky and I'm putting money on him giving us a few laughs along the way.
He'll also, most probably get stuck in with any tasks and try to get'down with the kids'. Along with Reg, we also have Nadia and Patsy, who were both in EastEnders and Emmerdale, respectively. We could have a brand new soap opera gong on here!

Michelle Visage:
Again, I don't know anything about this housemate - which part of me likes, as it's like the civilian BB, where you have to get to know people without any pre-judgement.
Michelle seems the kind of person who will speak her mind and go a tad crazy every now and again.

Nadia Sawalha:
I like Nadia, she seems a laugh and if her chats on Loose Women are anything to go by, she's not afraid to speak her mind. I actually think that she's my fave female housemate, so far.
She's also a fan of the show and is looking forward to living with Katie Hopkins, as she's heard that Katie's 'pretty funny' and doesn't believe that anyone can be that nasty. Will Nadia tame Katie, and become her new best bud?

Patsy Kensit:
I also like Patsy, and I think that her and Nadia are pretty similar, and will be great mates in the house. I can also imagine that after a few glasses of wine Patsy will really come out of her shell and be a 'hoot' to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing what she brings.

Perez Hilton:
Perez's website has always made me chuckle, especially when I think back to my days as a junior showbiz writer. He really doesn't care what he says. If he thinks it, he'll say it. Remind you of anyone? Yes - Katie Hopkins! I think these two will come to more than a couple of blows, which will be great viewing for us!

So, there's my opinion of this years lot, so far...

As we always know, things can change daily in there - and so can our opinions!

Katie is currently on a secret mission, of being nice to everyone, under the magic mirrors instructions. Will she pull it off? Will anyone else go up against Alexander and Chloe for the public vote?

I'm already looking forward to tonight's catch up show!

CBB - Rylan Clark promises 'strong' line-up

Wednesday night sees the return of Celebrity Big Brother and while a new series of the show always excites, this year's making me want to watch even more so than usual. 

For starters, the promised 'twisted fairytale' theme has the makings of a uber-fantastic run, as there are so many opportunities and turns that a theme like that could take. And that's just in my mind. Maybe I should go for a role there as a task planner?! 

We've also been teased about this one being the best series to date, as both show host Emma Willis and BBOTS host Rylan Clark have both revealed their favourite part of the show is the castings - and this one's not to be missed. 

Rylan has teased this further today, by telling Metro that this winter won't be 'the usual' suspects. 

The presenter said:

"We've got a very, very strong line-up. We've pretty much got everyone, but a contestant is never confirmed until they walk through the doors because anything can happen up until the day they go in."

Rylan also hinted that we won't be seeing a handful of already reality stars become a housemate this series.

"We're trying to steer away from reality stars but there may be one. Maybe not one that's very well known, it's not your usual line-up!"

I've already heard whispers of Daniella Westbrook, Perez Hilton and (my favorite, so far) Calum Best to name a few, but I've got even higher hopes after Rylan's interview. 

Who's looking forward to Wednesday's launch show just as much as I am?

CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER - Will this be the BEST line up yet?

Emma Willis is the mother of Big Brother, so if there's anyone to trust with whether the new series of Celebrity Big Brother is going to be a smash, it should be her!

And she does...

Speaking about the launch of the next series, which will start in January, Emma reckons that the casting is always "the best thing" about Big Brother. 

Although she usually keeps herself in the dark about the contestants until the last minute, this time round, she's taken a sneak peek.

"I normally stay very blind to it all but this year I've actually seen part of a list very early. This is going to be one of the best ever series of the show. I have such high hopes for the series - that's how good I think it's going to be. You won't not recognise anybody if it stays like this. This year seems like a proper stellar cast and that's always great to watch."

With people such as Calum Best, Daniella Westbrook and Katie Price rumoured to go in, I wonder f any of those names are on the list Emma talks about?

Emma also revealed that her dream housemates would be Paul O'Grady, Lindsay Lohan and Tom Cruise - and added that she is excited about the new twisted fairytale theme.

"I've seen the mood boards and the new eye for the series, It's got me very excited. I'd describe it as a dark fairytale theme. My favourite movie of late is Maleficent and it's totally like that. Angelina Jolie is amazing in it. I've seen all these visuals and it literally looks like my favourite movie. I think I actually want to dress up for the launch night. I'd love to be the wicked but tortured Queen."

Emma also addressed the stick she sometimes receives for presenting Big Brother's Bit on the Side with Rylan Clark, as well as being at the forefront of the main show. 

"I could have just given it up but to be honest I love it and it's where I get to be a fan again.know. I get a lot of stick from people saying I'm not impartial, but I think I am. When you're doing a debate show you have to post positive and negative statements about everyone. I try not to be negative but if someone's gone in there and acted like a plonker then how can I be impartial? 

It's tricky in that respect. But I love it. I get to stand in a room with fellow Big Brother fans and talk about the show. Doing the main show I'm at the helm and running the show and being very professional but then late nights during the week I get to go into a little studio and talk to people who are just as bonkers about it as me."

I for one love the Emma/Rylan pairing for BBOTS - and can't wait for the new series to begin... 

Who would you all like to see in the house, come January?

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.
