Big Brother: Week One woes

Well, week one in the Big Brother house certainly went with hitch after hitch. 

Of course I'm not talking about the live content but of course the antics in (both!) of the houses. 

The Others were shaken to the core to see that some of them have more than just the connection of a wall between them.  

If I'm honest, there are so many of them in there, that I still haven't gotten my head around who I certainly like or dislike, but each person in that house is a character. 

Let's start with the Mains. Marco - I don't like him. I didn't from the moment he stepped into the house. I thought he was a show off - which is fine to an extent but he's very cocky and sure of himself and I don't like when people cross the fine line. I doubt the public will take to him either. Fair enough if he's in an open relationship with his fiancée and he and Laura certainly seem to be making the most of that. But it's the way he looks to the camera whilst with her... He's a creep. 

Whereas I think that Laura is playing the person who she thinks she has to be. She and Marco are trying to be the Steph and Jez of last Celeb BB. 

I like Jackson, he seems sincere, and Alex too. I think they will both pass their tasks now in the Other house and will gain their housemate status once more. Chelsea, however, not too sure about yet. 

The twins were strange ones. Especially Victoria and her reason for leaving. What did she think was going to happen living in a shared house? Of course there were going to meat eaters... 

Her line of opening the fridge to find a corpse inside is the line of the show so far. 

As for the Others.. They're a feisty bunch! 

Ryan I'm not sure about.. He could easily turn into someone you love to hate. But I'm wondering if his issue with Sam could be because he's attracted to him? 

As for Andrew, he could very easily ruin the undercover mission now he's in the main house for a while. He kind of already did! He likes to think of himself as a bit of a Mastermind. But in my experience know-alls are sometimes only No-alls... 

I don't actually dislike any of the other Others, they're just all very good game players. Which I suppose is why they were chosen! 

I like the thought process behind having a second house but since some of the housemates broke out and claimed to see Alex in the glass window of the Other house, and the Others shouted hello to the twins on their escape, maybe BB didn't think things through as much as they thought. I hope it won't ruin whatever else they have in store. 

I also think that once you break free and run through the chicken coops of backstage, you shouldn't be allowed to return to the house. End of. 

On Tuesday night, apparently, another twist will be revealed. What it will be who knows. 

It is a brand new game after all... 

What are your thoughts so far on the new series? 

Big Brother: Who are these Others?

Big Brother has revealed its biggest secret for the new series, so far, in announcing that the rumoured two houses is a fact, and the second of the homes will be populated by 'The Others'. Sounds like a terrifying movie, doesn't it?

Before I go into that, though, today was the day that BB released new house photos. It's certainly bright and reminded me of an 80's neon club! 

That said, it also has something 'spacey' about it which could coincide with 'The Others' theme. The Unknown... 

We've had secret bedsits or rooms in Big Brother before, but never two houses. Some may say the concept is the same but this series excites me. 

The housemates will apparently have no idea that there's another house, containing 'The Others', or that these Others will be fighting to replace them in the main house. Even if one or two housemates get an incline about another house, they or the Others surely won't realise that some of them are connected in more ways than just the walls of the BB house. I reckon it'll be family members, friends, enemies..? 

"Neither the housemates nor The Others are aware that some of them are already connected to each other," Channel 5 teased. "And these connections could turn both houses upside down. But what are these connections, and how will Big Brother use them to keep everyone on their toes?"

More may be revealed over the weekend - but we'll definitely have a bigger insight at Tuesday's 9pm lunch night... 

I'm back with Big Brother...

When I say back, I mean blogging back - not appearing on the summer series of BB back!

In 11 days - that's Tuesday 7th June - Emma Willis, who's practically JUST given birth to her third baby, Trixie Grace, along with BBBOTS' Rylan Clarke-Neal will be welcoming a new host of Big Brother contestants, aka Our New Best Pals for the summer! 

I'm actually more excited about this series than I have been about any other in recent years, because so far it hasn't been given a 'name', like Timebomb for example. 

Rylan has already said it'll be a "brand new game" and it's been described as 'unpredictable'.  That there is one of my favourite words, as its sub-meanings could be 'exciting', 'shocking' and...'OMG'. Exactly what we crave from BB, right? 

Channel 5 have also teased that from (perfect Marcus voiceover voice!) 'Day One in the Big Brother house' the housemates will be "under attack from an unseen ominous dark force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the house. Whilst things may appear to be straightforward, Big Brother will ensure that no-one will have the entire picture. There may even be deeper connections at work. The housemates are not alone and they should be prepared for paranoia and suspicion." Ooo-err! 

There have been rumours of a split house, or two separate houses, after planning permission was received to extend the plot. Other whispers are that celebrities and us mere civilians may share one house... I'm not sure about the celeb rumour because CBB is fab in its own right, and has been promised to follow right after the summer series. 

We also haven't had any house pictures yet, which is always a highlight of any Big Brother build-up, so who knows what other surprises are in store? 

But those teasers at Channel 5 have also revealed that the house has been "transformed into a slick, stark monochrome world. Whilst everything may appear to be black and white, that certainly won't be the case. Viewers should prepare for a 'yin and yang'-style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation. This force will affect the housemates for better or for worse."

Have those tit-bits got you geared up for the new series, and what do you think is in store this year?

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!!

The X Factor: Where the Overs went wrong...

On Saturday, The X Factor had another double elimination, but under a new guise.

On Saturday, Mason Noise was sent home in the first flash vote of the series, and I've got to say that I think I'll miss him the most, out of all the acts who have gone so far.
Mason had quality, and where some may not particularly like 'him', it was undeniable that he had whatever the 'X' in X Factor is. Mason, for me, gave something new, to what The X Factor, and other shows like it haven't had for a while. He was on point, a sign of our times, but also able to sing as well as rap, and he had moves that could easily overshadow Justin Timberlake!

I can't wait to see what he does next, and think he'll be a big loss to the last few weeks of the competition.

On Sunday, it was a shocker in the sing-off, as Anton and Che went head-to-head.
Che was the biggest shock of all for me, and not because Anton was any less great a singer, but I feel as though Anton was always going to be in the bottom two, because he had a rough rap in the press.
And good for him, for sticking up for himself, to Grimmy and also to those on social media who decided to also have a pop about him being 'insincere' or 'fake'.
I really like Anton, and think his performances were always so heartfelt and true. He loved being the guy at the front, for the first time in his career, and his voice said it all. He deserved his spot.
But I do wonder if his over-enthusiasm was what hindered him, because some people in this cynical world just don't understand that yes, some people are overly passionate about what they love. And there's nothing wrong with it!

Of course, Anton's exit meant that Simon Cowell lost his final act in the Overs category, and explained that the reason he was so upset about having the Overs this year, was because the other categories were so strong.
I agree, because following last years' Ben Haenow and Fleur East, the Overs of 2015 were always going to have to step into very big shoes. And that may be where it all went wrong for them this year. Ben and Fleur proved that the Over 25s were not the 'has-beens' or the 'cabaret' acts, that it had been labelled for years before. They were both fresh, young and gave the Overs a well-needed face-lift. Unfortunately this year, the category was overshadowed by so much other talent.

There must be only two or three weeks left of the competition now and thanks to the Rugby World Cup, it's flown. I also think because of this, and the result being double eliminations galore, I think that some great acts who should have stayed a bit longer ended up going, meaning that they never got their time to shine properly. That 'moment' which Simon likes to see.

That's why I hope that The X Factor returns next year, unchanged (apart from the terrible Judges Houses Live bit!) so that we can see the full potential of this new look which was so strongly publicised.

What do you all think?

The X Factor: 1, 2, 3...

It was the third weekend of double eliminations this week on The X Factor, and after having a quiet time at Telly Jolly recently thanks to the excitements of life, I think it's time to let loose on the opinions once more!

So - this weekend saw Monica Micheal and Max Stone leave, but before going in to that, I'm going to quickly delve into the last two weeks of the show...
Bupsi's exit in the first live show wasn't such a shock for me, as her song was so off that week. Simon admitted his mistake over song choice, but I personally think that Jennifer should have been on the lives over Bupsi. Alien Uncovered were also given the boot after a sing-off against Keira Weathers. It was a shame that they, too, didn't come across as well as they could have.
I was also surprised that Kiera left so early on, in week two, especially as she was so stand out in the audition and Boot Camp rounds, but I feel that it may have been her slight image change that failed to connect her to the audience. Keira had the lowest vote, meaning that Mason Noise and Seann Miley Moore sung-off against each other. Now, after Mason's not-so-great six chair challenge behavior, I didn't want to like him. But the boy has done good in the end, saying and singing 'Sorry', and genuinely looks serious about the competition and his career. During that sing-off, Mason didn't sound as good as Seann and his wrecking ball handbag, which made me think of Miley Cyrus each time I saw it (the name might not be a coincidence!) but I hoped that Mason would be saved,and was pleased when he was, because he can give variety as an artist, whereas Seann was already becoming quite samey, performance wise.

The public are throwing all sorts of shock bottom-two's in this year, and I think some of the better artists are suffering due to the three week double eliminations (thanks, Rugby World Cup!). Again, Max and Monica weren't as strong this week, so maybe should have gone over some of the others, but I did think that Max has a raw kind of talent, that could have made the competition stronger if he had stayed.
It was also a surprise to see Anton in the bottom three, as I thought he made a massive come back after his not-so-good (and somewhat scary!) performance last week.  But he's the last Over standing now, and I hope the public back him for a few more week's yet.

As for my favourites so far... Well, Che (who we call Damien, as he's so like my cousin!) and Louisa are the strongest vocally, by far. Then there's Mason, who I really like watching. I also have a soft spot for Reggie and Bollie, who are fun (but without being novelty) and look like they're loving life every week up on stage.
However, for every favourite, there has to be a least fave, and mine are 4th Impact. Yep, sorry everyone who's on their team, but I just don't get it. And like Seann, I find them very samey, samey. I also don't think their vocals are ever spot on, and can count flat notes every other line... That's where my ex-singer comes out in me!

Overall so far this series, I'm liking the new 'themes' but think it would be great if each contestant wrote a song of their own to perform one week... That would set the cat amongst the pigeons.
Olly and Caroline also still seem a little nervous each week - they definitely look like the new kids on the block. But I like them as a duo, so given a chance, they can only get stronger, and soon be as confident and comfortable as they were on The Xtra Factor a few years ago.

I wonder what the theme this weekend will be...

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?

The X Factor: Change is good

The X Factor returned this week, and whilst I was unsure whether two new judges, new presenters across the board and little tweaks to the process would all be too much at once, it actually worked really well.

There was never doubt that Olly and Caroline wouldn't be great - they've both been 'Xtra's' there before and, of course, Olly was a contestant not so long ago himself. Dermot's big boots have been filled nicely!
Over on The Xtra Factor, Rochelle and Melvin also seem to fit the bill well, and come across natural in a way that last year's presenter Sarah-Jane failed to, in my opinion. Like Olly and Caroline, you can see that Rochelle and Melvin are mates off screen and that's always something viewers warm to.
I know it was only the first two shows, but so far so good for our new presenting team.

Then there were the new judges... I was vocal about Grimmy being the one I was unsure of, but after hearing him talk about having worked in the music industry since the age of 15 and the way he is so in love with the show (so much so, he throws X Factor live show parties for his friends!) I wondered if he maybe would be a good addition, which, so far I think he is.
Grimmy was in awe at being a judge, but gave clear and concise feedback - being as fair as can be. He did know what he was talking about, and I found myself agreeing with him on more than one occasion.
Rita, too, was also great. She's also taking over the role of most emotional judge! Rita loves music and will really care about her category. She's also competitive, so will want to win. Cheryl and Simon also returned, with Cheryl, who's now apparently an executive producer on the show, really taking some of the control on the panel. She came across much more authoritative, in a good way. I think Cheryl feels comfy with this new panel and they all seem to genuinely get on with each other, without the bravado we've seen in previous years. You can also see this in Simon, who was also getting in on the fun aspects.
Cheryl's new found authority came into play especially during the last audition of Sunday's episode, when Simon was bought to tears over contestant Josh, who sung Labyrinth's Jealous, in memory of his friend who passed away not so long ago. Simon's mum had only just passed away a few days before this audition, and he couldn't even speak after Josh's performance, leaving an also emotional Cheryl to take lead. It was a sombre, yet beautiful moment.

Remember, also, you have until midday today to vote via Twitter for which judge you want to have which category. For example - #SimonBoys, #CherylGroups, #RitaOvers, #NickGirls - which is actually the way I voted.

All in all, The X Factor's return was a great success and I can;t wait for it to really get going.

Winter Saturday nights are almost upon us!

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?

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!

BIG BROTHER: Well done Chloe!

The 'normal' lass won... And yeah, I'm really pleased!

To be honest, especially after this last week, I thought it could have been anyone's game... And all six finalists did deserve their places, and I think it's been a good couple of years that I've thought that.

My least favourite was probably Nick, just because I feel that for such a massive fan of the show, he allowed his time to be dominated by various (okay two!) people. Firstly Jade for a while - although that friendship, you could tell especially when she came back for the task this week, will last. Those two are mates for life. Then, obviously, Harry. Again, they both seem smitten, so lets see how it goes. I just feel that he didn't stand on his own two feet at all while there, but then maybe that's just Nick.
Close after Nick, m least favourite was Joel. Now, the wannabe Prime Minister did make me laugh endlessly with his 'slut drops' and general dancing... He was hilarious at times, and even when he 'debated' with housemates, he was entertaining. But I didn't like the way Joel was already a politician. I couldn't warm to him, because I felt he was constantly saying what he thought he should say, and he was very clever with his words and actions. I like 'real housemates... Ones who mess up, say things they shouldn't, do things which they then regret. Just like we all do in life.

Jack and Cristian was next on my fave list.
Because he walked away with the £23,900, I didn't think Jack would win... Even if his popularity was still as high as it was in the beginning. People may have thought 'well, he has a lot of cash, anyway, so maybe we'll vote for another winner...' I do think, by this point, however, Jack was no longer as popular as the early days, but he was still a great housemate in my eyes. I could still laugh for about twenty minutes, even now, at the sight of his spray tanning treatment! And this week, the other housemates have been playfully getting at him, nicking his case of cash and generally ribbing him, and Jack's taken it well. Pie Face smashed it towards the end!
Cristian was always pleasant to watch, and where I can understand why people would say he's 'on the fence' and didn't so much, I think he did what he had to do. He said himself that he wasn't in there to pretend to be anyone else, and why should he?
Jasmine Lennard said some really lovely things about Cristian when she left after her Hotel BB stay - and it wasn't all to do with their raunchy kisses! He seems a sweet, caring lad, who also has some insecurities. And for a very good looking, obviously intelligent man, it's refreshing to see.

That then leaves Danny and Chloe as my two top faves. And I didn't mind who won out of the two, up until a couple of days ago, when I hoped that Chloe would just edge it.
I always felt that Danny got a bit of a bad rap online - especially Digital Spy - who constantly seemed to pick at him, I think.
Always trying to speak as I find, I found Dan to be a gent, caring, and a good mate to those in the house. Yes, he had some bad moments where he lost his temper and made comments that could offend someone - but who hasn't in life? And this is what I said at the beginning, about Joel. I like someone who's real in the BB house, and Dan seemed real to me. That's why I was rooting for him all the way,
It's also why I was rooting for Chloe on par, too. She was 'normal' and was slated for being so, by Marc especially. But as she once asked in the house: 'What's wrong with being normal?' The answer is absolutely nothing.
It was when Chloe's 'best bits' were shown that I realised just how much she had been through in the house, and was a breathe of fresh air. She was fun, outspoken - and again, had tears and arguments.

Maybe that's why she - and 'normal' - won!

BIG BROTHER: Money on their mind

It's almost as if Sam Smith's song was made for the past few days in the BB house.
The Cashbombs that have exploded (at times, literally!) really do make you see people for who they are, and what they're after. And I'm not surprised, because to be fair none of them have changed THAT much.

When the Cashbomb week was announced, I was a little glad that Marc had been evicted, because I think with him there, it would have caused an uncomfortable to watch week.
First, there was the Nominations bomb. I do believe that those who rushed first to push the button, more so did because they wanted to save the money and had someone in mind to nominate, rather than get immunity for themselves.
When Cristian (and I think Danny?) both said they didn't want it to be a situation where they had to pick between their closest pals, I believe it was the truth.
These nominations, and the way they went weren't surprising.
What did shock me was Nick, choosing to bid £5000 to save himself and land Chloe on the block. No because it was Nick, but just because I didn't think any of them would. I was with Harry when she said that you should take your fate and get to the final week on your own merit. Nick has also become more and more strange on screen lately. The expressions he pulls... I think he'd unnerve me slightly.
Anyhow, it's now Chloe, Jack, Sam and Harry up for eviction and it's wide open, I think, over who will leave.

Chloe's shown a few different sides this week - but I'm still on hers...

Chloe has had quite a bit of airtime this week, because she's been very vocal about the Cashbomb tasks and the morals of those in the house, mainly Jack, and I've been agreeing with her. I like the fact that Chloe has a big opinion and even to her closest friend, will tell them the truth. Some people online have said it wouldn't have done her any favours, but I think it's shown a good side to her. We all like honesty, right? She could, however, have changed a few people's minds about her when she decided to keep £5000 to herself - and upset Danny a little in the process. Dan said that he thought Chloe would be the last person to do this... I agree, but having been sold down the river to be up for eviction by Nick for the same price, maybe she thought, 'Sod it, I'll do something for me!' I also liked her argument that Selfish Joel spent £2000 or so on a pizza, Jack would have spent £4000 on football scores and a suit, too. This is £5000 in her bank. And good luck to her!
I actually think it'll be between Sam and Jack this week - as Harry has also been quite moral this week, and she's another one who lets you know where you are with her. I'm still not her biggest fan, but she doesn't try to make a good point. Harry does just let herself down with her childish behavior...

The task from Tuesday's show, where they were offered the takeaway, or add money o the prize fund also made me dislike Joel a little.
When he said that he didn't mind about the money, because he doesn't need it, it showed a very selfish side to him. I think Joel is a typical politician (as I've said previously!) and he really is a bit of a nasty little man, only bothered about himself.
Jack's another one this week who's confused me slightly. I've not liked watching his 'only think of me' ways, but I do think it's age with him. He's still quite immature, and things that Jack think are funny, actually aren't sometimes. Harry was also right that he can't take criticism. Again, something which comes with growing up?

All in all, I'll put it out there now and hope either Danny or Chloe win!

Do you agree?

BIG BROTHER: Jack's up, and he ain't happy...

And by 'up' - I mean for eviction.

Yep, the once most popular is facing the public vote once again this week and Jack isn't looking too pleased.
The last remaining 'legend' housemate Aisleyne, along with Nick, went to give Jack support, and funnily enough it was these two only who nominated face-to-face, with everyone else doing it in the Diary Room, so I'll make a wild guess that Aisleyne and Nick didn't put Jack up.

Maybe Jack thinks that a couple of his friends did - as he now trusts 'no-one', apparently. I can't see this being the case though, and maybe it only took three noms (Sam, Marc and possibly Harry?) to leave him on the chopping board. Chloe did look sheepish in the video, though.

Coincidentally, it's also Sam, Marc and Harry who face eviction along with Jack. No surprises there!

Who will go? It's hard to say, but with Jack being so close to eviction last Friday, being second to Showbiz Simon, there's no wonder he's anxious. Who'd have thought that Harry and Sam would be saved before him, eh?
As for Marc, he's been immune for the last two weeks and there's mixed feeling about him on social media since his alliance with Helen, but I reckon he'll be safe. While I don't agree with a lot of his goading people, and some of his comments, he's too entertaining to leave before the final - and to be fair to him, I think underneath the facade, he's a nice boy.

As for Aisleyne being there, it's amazing how much she's changed since Helen and Nikki left. And it's for the worst. I kind of want her to leave the house - and Danny - alone.

BB's Hotel Hell opens today, too, with the first guest being John McCririck. Now this, I am looking forward to!

BIG BROTHER: Tag!

Tag nominations are over - and Chloe is the only one safe from eviction.

Well, apart from the Timewarp housemates, Helen, Nikki and Brian, who will (probably!) be leaving this week and their real housemate-mate, Marc.

I think it's pretty unfair that Marc has been immune for a second week, and Big Brother has surely got to out something in place to make it up to the rest of the house for his second week safe. I wondered if the final tag housemate would have to decide if Marc's safe or not, but this hasn't been the case.
The other thing I'm wondering now, is with eight housemates up for the chop, will each Timewarp housemate get to choose one each to save - leaving four up for eviction?

Helen and Marc will choose Simon and Joel (not sure who will pick who), Nikki will pick her Nick and Brian may go for his pal Danny, maybe, if this is the case...

Either way, I think either Harry or Sam will leave on Friday - and they're the ones most deserving to go too, I think. Maybe both of them, if it's a double?
Why? One because they aren't originals. Yes, I know, it's an easy excuse, but as I said when the four new ones arrived, it takes a special kind of person to allow the public and original housemates to forget they were a late arrival. And it rarely happens.
On the other hand, Harry has been a misery guts and would have probably gone last week, if it wasn't for Helen forcing the public's hand to feel sorry for her. As for Sam, she's shown a side to her that's untrustworthy and fake.
People go off about 'boring' housemates but I'd rather see real people do well, than fake ones. Even if the 'real' them is a game-player, or has a bit of a nasty streak. At least they're being true to themselves.

I can also see Simon being one of the next few to leave, too, for the same reasons as Harry and Sam. Marc will be in until the final, or if not, very near the end. As I said, I like real people. He's a pain in the backside to live with, I'm sure, but I don't think he's false.

I'll be sad to see some of the Timewarp legends go, too. I think Brian brings something to the house that's been missing, and out of the three of them, I overlooked him in the beginning, concentrating more on the drama Helen could bring and the outrageous(ness!) of Nikki.
The girls have brought what we all knew they would and it's been good to see. Cristian is certainly a new man since being told about sitting on the fence. He's unleashed something inside of himself... And I hope it carries on if he's still there when the legends leave, purely to prove it is a part of his personality.
But it's Brian I think, who will leave the biggest hole in the house, just because he brings friendship and calm, but also crazy arguments, when he's stuck up for himself and others, too. He's not one to be messed with, that's for sure.

Do you think the Tag-Noms twist is fully over, yet?

Time will tell!

THE X FACTOR - New judges confirmed

There have been rumours for weeks - even months - about who'll be this year's The X Factor judges.

And it's now official:

Simon Cowell will return, as will Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

But the real news is that Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora are replacing Mel B and Louis Walsh.

Rita, who's had a guest judge stint on the show in 2012, and Nick are both really excited about their new roles by the sounds of it:

"I am excited to be coming back to The X Factor – I had a ball here in 2012. This is a journey I can't wait to embark on to find some talented singers. It’s the new generation taking over. Booooom" said Rita. 

While Nick said: "I love X Factor and have watched the series religiously since it started, so obviously I'm hugely excited to be joining the show. Music is my job and my passion and I'm really looking forward to seeing what talent we can find and nurture this year. I can't wait for Judges Houses in Oldham!"

When I first heard the Grimmy rumours, I was a little disheartened about whether or not he would fit the bill, but to be fair his knowledge of the music industry seems faultless, and he's always been a quirky character,  He may just fit right in, so I'm happy o give him a chance with my eyes wide open. 

Rita Ora, I've always liked and she was great on BBC1's The Voice. She and Cheryl seem quite alike, in many ways, so the sisterhood should do nicely! 

In fact, Cheryl, in the official press release, spoke of her delight at the new judges and other changes to the show: “I haven't been as excited about an X Factor season since I first became a judge. The addition of Rita and Grimmy along with some interesting changes we've made to the format has refocused us to do what we do best, finding talent and making stars. I cannot wait to get started!”

When it was revealed that Louis wouldn't be back, I was a bit disappointed, as Lou Lou always gave a laugh and as mad as you could get watching him, he was entertaining - but maybe looking forward, it was what the show needed. A whole new look? The last time Louis was axed, Simon bought him back before the show even aired, but something tells me this might not be the case this time... 

"It’s taken a while! But I am very happy to be able to confirm our line-up of judges for The X Factor this year. The combination of Nick, Cheryl and Rita is going to be a lot of fun! They all bring a lot of enthusiasm and passion for music to the show.” “I have a feeling I am in for a bit of a rough time but sometimes you have to embrace the craziness and now, with luck, we hope to find a star.” boss-man Simon said. 

Of course, Caroline Flack and Olly Murs are fronting the show, in a move I'm pretty excited about, and after The Xtra Factor host Sarah-Jane Crawford stood down, whisper has it that Rochelle Humes could be her replacement. But we'll have to wait and see.

The new series will see the auditions move out of the rooms and straight in to the arenas once again. There are other changes to the shows format, too, which so far are being kept secret.

What do you think about the new judges line up?

BIG BROTHER - End of the bunker, let the games begin...

Last night was the one we've been waiting for all weekend, when Marc made his return to the house, along with his bunker buddies, Helen, Nikki and Brian.

Marc's fake eviction on Friday worked really well, and was possibly the best faker one ever, as there were almost genuinely no suspicions. Apart from Joel, who mentioned it quietly once, but then forgot all about it.

I was pleased Marc was the chosen one, and he wasn't afraid to make his mark (pardon the name pun!) with Helen, Nikki and Brian - immediately telling them to 'Shh' upon their nosy entrances.
You all - hopefully! - saw the weekend's action, and as always it was so much fun watching the secret housemates watch the current ones.

Last night, though, when all was revealed live, the worried looks on the faces of Jack and Harry especially, were priceless.
Jack has left me feeling confused and intrigued over the last couple of days. I liked him lots at the start, but when Nikki said 'he thinks he's King of the house,' and the answer he gave to the question about his 'adoring fans' made me wonder if Nikki was right. Has Jack become arrogant in his thoughts about being one of the most popular?
Part of me thinks yes, but the other part is still unsure... He's obviously a nice lad, and he's still so young, which can answer his stroppy moments! The look on his face last night, however, makes me wonder if he does think he's a bit of a King Pin, and he knows he could easily now be taken down a peg or two. Time will tell...

As for Harry, who is the first housemate nominated by the four bunker buds - how awkward was it to watch when she was sat alone, as Helen, Nikki, Brian and Marc came in?
Even the old housemates didn't check on her - does Nick finally want to break free?
Helen has apparently already tried to get him to see sense, and I'm sure Nikki's had her say, too.

The thing with this four, is that if you watched BB last year, you know Helen will say it how she believes it, which is going to be great TV. Along with Nikki, whose facial expressions alone could keep me entertained for hours, and Brian, who also both aren't afraid to mince words, this week may be epic.
The housemates, too, already know that Marc isn't shy on his opinions, and Sam will no doubt try to back track into his charms. She won't succeed.

This week could be a massive turning point for the house, and people who were less favourites could end up overtaking the once more popular housemates. Even Showbiz Simon!

As for the rest of the nominations, I can see Jack being up, and maybe Sam too. But the writing's already on the wall and Harry will be outta there come Friday night. And she won't be joining Helen, Nikki or Brian for drinks on the outside...

BIG BROTHER: What a weekend!

What a weekend in the Big Brother House!

Friday night's mass eviction was a rollercoaster ride to watch, and the element of the 'time machine' type revolving ride was such a clever idea.

Starting at the top, it was no surprised to me that the twins were first to go, as they were favourite on many polls and on social media. They will be missed, though, as they were good all-rounded characters. At least they got a proper eviction, coming down the stairs and all - unlike poor Harriet and Kieran, who were victims of the cruel garden twist, with the revolving time machine.

Like the twins, Harriet was a big character, and Kieran was growing on me more and more each episode. He was the one almost everyone in the house turned to for advice and support. Harriet was so upset on her departure, wasn't she?

Then, Sarah was the last to leave, and also got a proper door and stair eviction. Whether she will be missed by the viewers as much as she will by the housemates, I'm not sure, but collectively, I want these four back!

Being introduced to Harry Amelia, Marc and Sam - I immediately decided that Marc was going to cause heaps of manure. He has. It bodes for great TV, and it's obvious that the four new ones were put in to rock a happy house... Personally, however, I liked the way the house was going. It had its fair share of short-lived dramas, but it was nice to see a whole group of BB contestants who looked genuine for a change, instead of a few genuine's and the rest being game playing snakes.
Harry Amelia, I think, will be fine. But that's it. I think there's an insecurity about her, and that's where the getting naked comes from. I don't think Harry will last as long as the other newbies.
Sam seems the most 'normal' of the lot, but I wonder if underneath her 'nicey nicey' act there's a little insincerity. Not sure why, but it's just a hunch.
Then - Simon returned! (Told you, didn't I!). Mr Showbiz, last night, actually proved that it's all an act and he too is insecure and doesn't take criticism well.

Back to Marc, though, and he's certainly getting what he wants. People talking about him! They comments he made on Friday to Chloe, especially, were uncalled for. I was rooting for Danny as he called him out - 'This is MY house!' - and also to Jack for standing up to him over the weekend. I have noticed, however, that Marc riles people up, and then goes 'Woah, what did I do? I didn't mean anything...' yeah, right! If I was there, I just wouldn't entertain him, just like Nick, I think, said: Kill him with kindness.
As for Jade, I definitely agree with the people of Twitterland, who think that he knows things about her private life, and she's crapping herself with the thought it might all come out from him. Either that, or they've had a 'thing' in the past or fancy each other now. The lady who protests too much, comes to mind. She's seems desperate to get him out, crying in the Diary Room, about him flashes her. (Yes, he did flash the group, and, no, from what we've seen, he's not been given a telling off for it. I feel he should be pulled up - but maybe it's different from Aaron because he was singling someone out and being provocative?)

There's also been another nominations twist, where two of the new housemates have been chosen by the public to put two of the original housemates up for eviction. Sam and Simon are the chosen two, and we will find out this week who they've picked.

All in all, on one hand - I miss the old four! I liked a happy house for a change. But on the other, I am looking forward to the ups and downs the new people are bringing. I won't be surprised if Simon and Harry don't last very long.
I also see Marc being up for every eviction possible, but maybe the public will keep him in for the 'entertainment'?
It's always hard for new ones to seal their house positions, but this original lot are so tight, and liked, it'll be even harder this series. The public are also loyal to the core, to original housemates.

And, this is Timebomb. Anything could happen...

BIG BROTHER: A familiar face and tonight's big one...

Did you see last night's Big Brother, which showed the reasons behind Aaron's removal from the house?

I think it was very much justified.

There has been a lot of Joel support online since last night's episode, along with others saying that Aaron was only having a bit of fun. But lots of people have commented, saying that if a man in the house had been chasing a woman in the way Aaron was Joel, then there would be no one sticking up for his actions.

I don't think it matters who was flashing who - what does matter is the feelings of the person in the position of being exposed to. Joel numerously asked Aaron to stop, and said later in the Diary Room that he didn't know how to react as he'd never been in a position like that before, and did feel uncomfortable.
I understand that Aaron, at the time, was having 'banter' and on his removal, seemed devastated and very sorry for his actions. I also don't think that some of the other housemates, Harriet, mainly, helped matters by egging him on. Not one person thought of Joel's discomfort and mentioned to Aaron that it might be best for him to stop.

Aaron behaved inappropriately - and was given the boot 

Aaron leaving doesn't affect tonight's massive eviction - where four housemates will be evicted and replaced - but I think that last night's show may have a new effect on who actually leaves tonight, now.

HARRIET:
I liked her, and found her to be fun, feisty and honest. But I think she acted pretty immaturely last night and didn't stop to think about how Aaron may have been acting out of order. Lots of fans online have said that she also, should have been given a formal warning for her encouraging of Aaron's behaviour. I think she's signed, unwittingly, her eviction notice.

SARAH:
She may be safe, now that Harriet has received backlash. I won't mind seeing her stay, but I also wouldn't miss her if she left. I think the public are getting a tad fed up of her and Danny's non-romance. She likes him, but he doesn't fancy her. If Sarah can keep her feelings platonic, then she may get on better than trying to chase him.

DANNY:
I do like Dan, he's grown on me. The only thing which may hinder him is the Sarah thing. He's openly told his fellow housemates, and a task has also revealed, that he doesn't see Sarah as anything more than a friend. He may be affectionate, naturally, but maybe he should step back, as it could give off the wrong signals. Danny seems an all round good guy, though, and has good relationships with the others. Hope he lasts.

KIERAN:
Ah he has grown on me, too. But because of the mass eviction, he could be in danger. TO be fair, any of them could. I think the house will miss Kieran's presence and I also believe he's a good peacekeeper and a very level headed guy. Along with Danny, it's a draw between him and Chloe to stay.

CHLOE:
I think Chloe's a normal, lovely girl. But she could also be easily forgotten and slip through the net. I think it'll be a close call tonight between her and Kieran as to who stays. Jack would be devastated to lose his best mate.

AMY & SALLY:
The twins are apparently favourite to go tonight. They are big character's, but with the arrival of four newbies, may not be missed as much as if no one new was entering. Now they've made up with Jade, I'm not sure what else they will give, apart from bickers and we can do without constants of those.

So I think the twins, Harriet, Sarah and either Kieran or Chloe will go tonight.

But who will be entering?

It's been said a familiar face will be returning. Rumour has it, that if it's not first evicted Simon, then it may be 'Who is She?!' Nikki Grahame... Hmmm... Not sure I'd welcome either to be honest.

As for the brand new ones, it's whispered that they will include a 29-year-old organic chemistry student who's also a "UK Pleasure Boy" who strips across the nation. Oo-la-la!

TIME will only tell, but I'm certainly looking forward to watching tonight!

BIG BROTHER: Aaron has been removed

It's just been revealed that Aaron has been removed from the Big Brother house, for 'inappropriate behavior', which saw him apparently flash fellow housemate, Joel.

We can see exactly what happened on tonight's show, on Channel 5 at 10pm, but it's been said that Aaron was drunk and continuously flashed Joel, who asked him to 'behave himself', while some of the other housemates were said to be amused by Aaron's actions.

This will NOT effect tomorrow's big eviction, however, with the shock twist still going ahead. 

I can only imagine that Aaron's actions were really quite offensive towards Joel, as housemates aren't usually ejected without warning unless it's something really bad. 

In the past, there have been housemates who have been removed for inappropriate comments and behaviors.  Most recently, Ken Morley for racist comments and Jeremy Jackson for opening Chloe Goodman's dressing gown, on CBB back in January.

Big Brother's famous voice, Marcus Bentley, tweeted on the matter, saying:

While Aaron himself has also sent a tweet out thanking Big Brother for the opportunity to star in the house:

He seems pretty upbeat about his ejection, doesn't he?

What do you think about the rumoured reason Aaron was removed?
