BB: The housemates nominated for eviction this week are, in no particular order.......... John James.
Sam: Fuck sake. Again?!
John James: Yeah?!
BB: And...
John James: ...Rachel...
Josie: Hahahahaha you can't say that!
BB: Rachel.

Ugh John James is such a smug, small-minded shit. This brings back awful flashbacks of when Gerry/Nicky were announced for eviction and Gerry predicted Nicky's name in front of her to embarrass her. But with John James, he's astonishingly popular and for what reason other than being Josie's lapdog? Imagine having spiteful thoughts towards Rachel from BB11 of all people! .

I don't appreciate Josie laughing off his behavior like that either when if it was someone else doing it about her she'd have a huge problem with it.

Another comparison being they're two of the worst housemates of all time!

*after Mario wins save and replace task*
Mario: Right, before I do this, I'm going to explain how I came to this decision, and it'll still be random in the end. I can't pick the girls, I'm sorry guys, I dunno if it's something maybe chivalrous but I just can't pick the girls. Um I won't pick JJ cause he's brand new, I don't feel he's had a fair crack at the whip, I can't pick Andrew cause I wouldn't see him go through that two weeks in a row of having his name swapped, so that leaves Steve and Dave and I know out of all of us here, you two will understand and not sort of go crazy at me... But, I still can't choose so what I've done is I've got a button, one red one white and I'm gonna flip it.
John James: What color's which?
Mario: I'm not saying.
*Mario flips button, sees color and immediately swaps name with Dave*

I forgot about button-gate . Such a bullshitter.

You should watch Love Island Australia S1 immediately after you finish BB11 to enjoy seeing John James sulk and quit after none of the girls are attracted to him

Did Corin seriously give JJ a handjob while she has a long-time girlfriend on the outside?! Whether she did or didn't (it doesn't specify), his presence has RUINED her for me </3

Not really currently a fan of any of the people left. It's one of those watches.

Honestly this series actually has the potential to be one of the best series if it didn't have some of the most horrible nasty human beings in the house

Arron Conner sitting in the dr chair and making the girls sit on the floor then to act like complete bullys, ugghh it honestly brings me so much joy when it's the two the bottom two, Connor is personally my least favourite housemate ever Arron to be fair isnt actually that bad without Connor but still can be incredibly nasty. And fair play to Deana queen for calling Luke S out on his fake showmance!

The crowd atmosphere that night was fantastic. The enthusiasm of the audience felt like we were watching the Golden BB era on C4.

Yess!! I totally agree! I remember watching it on tv at the time when i was about 11 not realising how amazing of a night it truly was!!

[aaronneely2017]

Ok finished Week 6 of BB13 and flips sake Conor is safe again and the only reason he is safe is because Shievonne turned pyhsco for the week.

I am loving this series so much more than i thought, the wardens rules task whatever it's called felt like a classic old school ch4 task and was really good!

Plus i must also note the smokers group has to be one of my favourites group/alliances ever! They are just like 3 good friends tryna get by in the house and I love how Luke A and Lauren tried to throw the turf wars challenge to help Deana and Adam, really happy Deana is slowly becoming more of a member of that group.

Speaking of the final turf wars challenge i laughed so hard at the fact the blue team pretty much f up because of Connor!!

Conor's hatred towards Deana still confuses me, i acc think he is kinda obsessed with her, but i'm glad Deana isn't rising to the bait.

Anyway going back to Shievonne, she was fine for a while until she made the comment to Lauren about Adam and later self destructing in Week 6, She pretty much screwed herself over big time and her targetting Deana was just childish aswell and tryna persaude her to leave the smokers group.

Cannot wait for Week 7 might start watching again tomorrow but all in all this series is just fantastic!

[Epic.]

Davina: Right, Michaela, who do you think's going?
Michaela (audience member): JJ cause I wanna see him cause he's fit!
Davina: You wanna see him tonight cause he's fit? Don't you wanna keep him in there??
Michaela: NO cause I won't see him then!
Davina: Umm right so you want JJ out so you can "SEE HIM", touch him in the flesh...
Michaela: Yeah...

Even JJ's fans know he's a worthless housemate that's not worth anything to the show other than looks .

Corin's definitely one of the weirdest journeys with a housemate I've went on. There has been times where I've liked her to the extent I do now but it's been her shading into the background occasionaly and her JJ lusting that weakened her for me. But within only two highlights shows she earned so much respect off me for how she handled Sam hiding her make up bag and wigs. The average person would've rightfully lost their temper but Corin instead ripped Sam to shreds by asking him casually if he has anything better to do with his time other than hide people's stuff, saying she doesn't have much time to care about immaturity, saying she'd be annoyed if she was evicted before him but saying she doesn't want to waste her last three days being wound up by him, all while straightening out her lost wig that she found while he stares at her with a dopey face of defeat . And then when Sam still won't own up to it, she refuses to follow rules of the house until he returns her stolen property and it ends up working .

Sam Pepper doesn't age well as a housemate, and I'm not even counting all his post-show escapades. There was really no reason for him to hide Corin's stuff other than senseless approval of others, particularly John James . And if you're gonna be a wind-up merchant, at least own it, don't chicken out of it or do tedious mindgames of trying to guilt-trip people by denying you've done any bad actions.

And then nevermind how terrible John James is overall, but he really is like some sort of aggressively angry take on the hypocritical gameplayer foursome before him of Richard/Ziggy/Darnell/Siavash. He parades around a notion Corin is fake but in a crossword game where she had to be described with a word that had r in it he yelled out "FALSE" for no reason other than attention which kind of proves he's fake? Further to this, knowing full well Sam hid Corin's stuff and denying he knew anything about it .

But really, the fact that Sam is my 3rd favorite of the people left tells you all you need to know about how much I want to get this blasted series over with!

[Matthew.]

Sam Pepper was a dreadful, repetitive attention seeker, don’t get the love at all

[Epic.]

After weeks of John James gradually growing more cocksure and arrogant of himself, I FINALLY reached the reliving of one of the greatest single episode downfalls in the history of the show, all thanks to Rachael/Nathan's undying love and Corin FINALLY deciding she doesn't like him.

The way it was set up was brilliant too. He receives a massage session from Rachael and even though she's doing him a service, he keeps throwing digs at her relating to superficiality and telling her she'd do anything for money apart from sex , followed by John James returning, recounting the tale of him harassing her and shrugging off the belief in his head that he nearly made her cry and calls her a clown . Then BEN has returned in the middle of all this and tells John that Nathan won't be happy . Only several hours before Corin gets to go on a date with Nathan and lets him vent to her how annoyed he is with what a gross misogynist John James is. By this point Corin can't stand John James thinking he can attack whoever he want and gets away with it, her eyes light up when Nathan implies to her they'd need security at the wrap party, and then exaggerates it to basically tell John James that Nathan wants to beat the **** out of him . Which leads to

Corin: I think most people, whether it's your girlfriend or not, most guys that I know would find that the most disrespectful th--
John James: Thing to say, yeah.
Corin: Yeah, y'know... But then you ARE quite disrespectful TOWARDS women, cause you're not bothered about people's feelings so, y'know, you can take that, y'know.

And then even when Corin tells John James that Nathan wouldn't even give him the SATISFACTION of hurting him, he still sobs in the diary room like a worried sod that he'll get beaten up, wants to walk for the three billionth time, and then asks to stay on the condition he gets a phone call with Nathan, which is hilarious since it only fuels the humiliating way he's plummeted from someone who claims to not give a shit to someone who gives too many shits.

And then, right when you think you should feel even the tiniest morsel of sympathy for him, the episode concludes with honestly THE diary room entry of the series.

Corin: Everything that's gone on today with John, it just so relates to in my mind exactleh like week four when me and John had an argument and I said to him "You only pick on women and people who can't stick up for themselves" and today it's come back and bitten him right on the bum. When he said that today to Rachael, he was so PROUD of himself. SO PROUD OF HIMSELF that AGAIN he'd nearly got ANOTHER girl into tears! He LOVED the fact that he done it he didn't give two shits! And as soon as someone steps up to him and has to stand up for the girlfriend, or so he THINKS! Nathan's probably the type of lad that would just go "He ain't worth wasting me breath on, like just, y'know, you stay one side of the room, I'll stay at the other" but, he doesn't like confrontation yet he LOVES to give it out! Ugh, it's really wound me up! Just can't go about speaking to people like that and THEN think you can go to em "Oh I'm SORREH!" It's too late the damage has alreadeh been done mate. I don't BELIEVE he's sorreh, I just believe, cause he knows someone is gonna step up to the mark, and tell him what for, he's shitting himself! Would he have been sorreh if Nathan weren't going out with Rachael? Let me have a think about that... no! The guy, QUOTE, "Wouldn't give a rip." Huhh! I never KNOWN such rude manners... ugh anyway I'm gonna go for a cig.
*BB end music plays*

Sooo back to being a Corin fan again .

And that's the last BBUK series left for me to post rewatching about! And by that extension, the dying down of this thread . It felt fitting I'd end this over two-year first watch/rewatching journey by rewatching the first series I ever actually saw, to sort of round up everything. It's sad I didn't really like BB11 as it started off pretty alright only to go on a gradual decline. But it is of course still a much better send-off for BB than 19 could've ever hoped to be. It might be a cliché but John James really did weaken the last few weeks of this series with his incessant whinging and superiority complex and the week without him proves Josie would've been a much better winner had he never been a housemate (though she's still an okay one). The fact that almost her entire WINNER interview consisted of questions relating to him . His high visibility in the series ends up making so many of the housemates more unmemorable than they could've been, getting to the point where they actually merged the UBB launch with this one and once Josie stepped back in, the subject changed completely to all the returning ex-housemates. Apart from John, the other heavy hitters of the series were a mixed bag. Ben and Corin are great housemates but don't receive enough focus that they deserve, while Josie and Sam definitely have a lot of good qualities but have plenty of less impressive and disappointing ones respectively. The tasks were actually pretty fun, you could tell they wanted to give it their all with them if this was truly going to be the last series. It was a good call as well to cut down 93+ days to instead replace it with doing UBB because I'd look on this series much less fondly than I already do otherwise.



I'll miss posting about rewatching these even if this forum is dying out very meekly but until next time you return BB, whenever that is.

[Eddie.]

Just rewatched the BB7 launch and here are my rankings, will probably do one every few days.

Launch Night:
1. Nikki
2. Lea
3. Bonnie
4. Grace
5. Pete
6. Dawn
7. Shahbaz
8. Imogen
9. Lisa
10. Glyn
11. Mikey
12. George
13. Richard
14. Sezer

Despite my hate for the series' first week, and my partial dislike to its second week, I'll still watch them so that I can hate on Sezer even more. Expect half of this list to be either orange or red by the end of the first week.

Day 1/2:

11. Mikey (-)
12. George (-)
13. Richard (-)
14. Sezer (-)

And sooo it begins.

[Eddie.]

Richard and Sezer are ****ing pricks and I know that the second day is just the start of them turning the whole house against Shahbaz, and the nasty treatment he gets from them leading him to walk. I'm glad that only the first week of 7 is like this because if this bullying mentality carried on in the following weeks, it would make Power Trip look like enjoyable viewing.

I know Shahbaz brought this on himself because of the way he presents himself but the bullying is as uncomfortable even when re-watching. Especially when Richard told everyone to ignore him and act as if he doesn't exist out in the open. This definitely wouldn't go well if it happened even the following year. (BB8) I have gained lots of respect for Pete being the only one who is actually brave enough to stand up for Shabahz. I know the next two days is the unfortunate climax of all the bullying and I'm just prepared to watch it and get it done and over with so that I can start really enjoying the series.

I mean you’ve still got the treatment of Sam so it’s not quite finished there
