1. Laura (still my #1 bc she's suddenly this articulate underdog who defends herself suuuuper well?!?! She got screwed by BB airing out her dirty laundry over calling Sam Lateysha's bitch but she was sooo well-spoken in defending herself and like..... she wasn't wrong so)
2. Charlie (she just wants to know where she stands )
3. Evelyn (the perfect beta to Laura, glad she's finally starting to emerge and actually hold herown too against Georgina)
4. Jason (obviously Charlie's carrying the weight of their entertainment but I appreciate him a lot too?)
5. Emma (hardly existed this week but Natalie speaking walls of text at her was a highlight she was UTRfun)
6. Lateysha (eh I still like her but she's becoming a bit too cliquey with ****ing Georgina and a bunch of ****e gays. I can't blame her bc they're probably flocking to her but ew)
7. Alex (lmao????? He does not exist but he actually seems Nice and he's not bothering me at all)
8. Jayne (okay so while I *DO* think she's largely overrated and her DRs really aren't that entertaining or memorable like I was promised, she did serve as a good foil to Natalie even though I don't doubt that she does have some...... questionable feelings re: race and black people
Natalie (so I appreciated what she brought for a while and some of her quotables still make me cackle like EXCUSE ****ING ME but she's soooooooo mean in a way that isn't amusing a lot of the time and her act just grew so so soooooo stale)
9. Jackson (laying on the whole Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers thing on WAY too thick for my liking but he's fine)
10. Hughie (again, for such A Big Character he is...... largely unremarkable and there and I'm puzzled as to how he gains so much traction when in my mind he is like..... someone who should coast to the final but be a low percentage fourth or fifth placer)
11. Ryan (kind of repulsive just on a human level but he didn't really do anything this week so it was appreciated)
12. Andy (was very irrelevant this week but had way too much stupid bull**** about how he has conversations with Elizabeth I about her ships in order too fall asleep and like...... bitch you're fake as hell, don't act like you're above this show when that is your brand of quirkiness)
13. Sam (hardly exists but is an annoying beta who is AWFUL when he chimes in to smugly talk down to Evelyn or Jayne or whoever the pariah of the day is)
14. Chelsea (didn't really exist this week except for random soundbites of him SCREAMING that Jayne is a bitch and other just gross chauvinistic **** )
15. Georgina (lmfao it's almost comical how atrocious she is now openly talking **** about people and getting caught but then getting all indignant because she thinks being overheard talking behind someone's back is equal to saying it to someone's face. Not to mention that she is sooooooo jealous of Evelyn and threatened by the fact that she and Jackson conversed like once, and she thinks Jayne is Satanic and a Disney villain..... because other people hate her and she's just hopping on the bandwagon? She SUCKS but her rise to villainy feels very C4 esque so I am here for her inevitable downfall that comes so quickly lmfaoooo)

This was a fun week! I already documented a lot of my thoughts but we finally merged the two houses, cliques are starting to form and the house dynamics are starting to becoming a lot more solidified, we are getting some juicy content with the Others and the originals finally interacting as one now, and different personalities are starting to shine through to the point now where it feels like we know everyone except for Alex. I'm eager to continue because there's been fun conflict each day for the last few days (the Hughie/Lateysha stuff was stupid but whatever it's done with thankfully) and it doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon so I'm excited!

BB17 Week 3 Edgic, Ranking, and Thots:



1. Charlie (lmao there were like two days where I was upset that Charlie went UTR and figured out where she stood, but then we got Sugar Hut-gate and how about kicking my dog-gate and 20 y/o daughter-gate and WOW what a tour de force)
2. Emma (waiting until noms were done to read Georgina to FILTH I looooved how calm and rational she was with her points of "we could get along if you actually tried to" to Georgina and "yeah I nominated your missus because I don't like her and that's what the point of nominations is :duh:" to Jackson)
3. Laura (is probably my overall fave still but UTR1 this week)
4. Evelyn (was a good foil to Georgina with STUPID COW and applying makeup on Jackson and like... breathing in the same vicinity as him and sending Georgina into a rage )
5. Jason (deserves all the credit in the world for putting up with Charlie and letting her know repeatedly where she stands)
6. Jayne (UTR this week but handled getting TEN nominations like a champ so gj hun)
7. Lateysha (eh not that I like Andy but her screaming tirade about him being a stirrer wasn't that good of a look because as annoying as he is, her bed clique holding court is equally annoying to me in a lot of ways. That being said, she's a fun narrator and a good friend that everyone could use)
8. Ryan (okay okay okay I HATE THIS because the projectile vomit and Hughie feeling his lip filler and SMELL THAT are gross and disgusting beyond belief buuuuuut when he obnoxiously winds Hooie up it's kinda cute and funny? Kill me for admitting that)
Georgina (lmaoooo okay I've said it over and over again guys but she suuuuuucks and someone compared to a Caroline Wharram/Steven Goode hybrid and... yikes! That being said, her downfall was gloooorious and really cemented her as a character and an experience that was worthwhile at least when Jackson wasn't around, which unfortunately wasn't much)
9. Hughie (eh kiiiiinda normal and likable some of the time but still really just there in an uninteresting way?)
10. Alex (speaking of just there... )
11. Andy (it doesn't matter if your sentiments are righteous if you go about them and express yourself in the most pedantic, smug, self-congratulatory way! I get where he's coming from, but he thinks he's a martyr when he's really just a rat and sadly the GBP eat it up :\)
11. Chelsea (still sucks but he's hardly A Thing so that helps at least?)
12. Sam (also not really a thing but like... god what a loser. His drunken tantrum over the fishbowl was incomprehensible and EMBARRASSING and he called Hughie and Ryan bum boys like a middle schooler would?)
13. Jackson (oh my god he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks and his relationship with HIS MISSUS is soooooo beyond contrived. What does he even like about her? Like he started worshipping her from THE OTHER HOUSE when he had known her for 72 hours. And as much of a nasty jealous cow as Georgina is, he sooooooo exploited her for his own purpose and OPENLY flirted with Evelyn and hit on her to make Georgina jealous?!?! But the public ignored it all because he was able to drop carefully timed "I love you"s and strategic "I would marry you tomorrow if I could"s and it was just soooo gross. And then when he was evicted her cried in the DR that she reminds him of his mother (?!?!) and complained about people nominating THAT BITCH even though no one ever called Georgina a bitch in their noms (?!?!) he's so insufferable omg)

A pretty good week! Some of the storylines got a little tedious at times, like anything involving Andy and anything involving Jacksina (is there an official portmanteau for them?), and the fishbowl fight was wayyyyyy too incomprehensible for me to even attempt to understand and follow. But there were a lot of great highlights too, like Emma withstanding the Jacksina tirades, Evelyn fueling the fire to the Jacksina tirades and then withstanding them, and pretty much every Jason/Charlie scene Everything feels like it's moving so fast and a lot of the moments that I am aware of are happening earlier than I expect them to, but I guess that's the nature of a 50 day series because I'm somehow already halfway done?!

I swear that if I had Hughie following me around the house telling me I THINK YOU'RE A LIAR AND A STORY CARRIER like he was to Andy I would've suspected that he was on a secret mission. But no, it's just Hughie and somehow he's the odds favorite?

Anyway, even knowing about it ahead of time, the reunion between Laurita and Berna(r)do aka Ricardo was ****ing HILARIOUS and I had to pause my video multiple times to regain my composure bc I was laughing at the absurdity of it all. Might as well just end the season now, I can't see anyone topping Laura Carter as my season favorite.

[reece(:]

The moment with Laura and Emma(?) shaving their foofs for their men was a season highlight

[Greg!]

Macie your write ups are hilarious

I don’t really remember that much about BB17 but I INTENSELY disliked Andy more than any other housemate ever, especially towards the end of the series. Interested to see if you feel the same

2) pulled Jason into the pod after the prior day's "he told other people he has a daughter but he didn't tell me until the last two months of our relationship" issue by immediately telling him to not talk to her like that and stand there with that posture because she deserves a lot more respect
3) insisted that she has NEVER lied about Jason, except the time two days prior where she accused him of cheating on her because she highly suspected it but admittedly didn't have proof
4) resumed the fight later in the bedroom by complaining about how Jason says he has her back but he has FAR FROM THAT and then apologized for trying to get back with him and started uncontrollably sobbing because Jason has said enough
5) after running away from Jason and sobbing in the toilet, she randomly came up to him in the dining area for CUDDLES and kissed him on the cheek (!!!) much to his annoyance
6) ended her day by hysterically sobbing in bed to Jayne because Jason would've give her cuddles but he gave Evelyn a new t-shirt to sleep in for the night, and now she knows where she stands with him

Fin.

I'm just kinda bored of it all honestly? Like for someone who prides himself on being so intelligence (he literally just had a DR in the episode I'm currently watching about how it was refreshing to talk to Ed bc he knows what the word simultaneously means), he should realize after the Lateysha/Jason thing and the Charlie/Jason thing that "I hate to be in this position but I just have to tell you what x said about you" is a terrible way to go about your social interactions in this particular BB house? He's not even wrong with most of the points he puts forth, he just does so in such a smug and condescending way that it's such a turn off.

"Andy's storming into the other room, saying people are being stoned to death................... in other countries " -Laura Carter, 2016.

I'll probably post something more in depth about STONED TO DEATH and THROWN OFF BUILDINGS tomorrow but all I'll say is that maybe it's my bias coming through but Laura clearly had the best approach of like "it's Hughie and Ryan, who the hell cares if they're taking the piss out of gay rights or not?"

[Epic.]

I know many people like to say how "funny" the "STONED TO DEATH" tantrum is but I can't ignore how awful and self-righteous Andy was during it, and ironically was the one actually being homophobic in all of it.

Big Brother: Do you think Housemates will pass this task?
Derek: I would not put money on it, I would not put money on it.. I mean, a task as easy as brushing their teeth would be enough to elude this lot.
...
I have never met a bunch of more arrogant, useless wankers in all my life.



Ok, Derek has cemented himself as my fave

Here's my official take: Andy totally had a right to be annoyed. You get engaged in the house (which is so ****ing tacky but that's for another day), and then two days later there's a fake engagement prank between two of the gay HMs. It's easy to see how he would feel that they were taking the piss, and to be honest they totally were. That being said, oh my god trying to turn it into a human rights issue was just so hilariously off that he lost any credibility he had with being upset in the first place.

All the housemates struggled with having to nominate but Narinder was fine with it, saying that she could have nominated 6 people

[Greg!]

Omg so I’m having a lil CBB9 rewatch and decided to watch the 2nd BOTS episode bc Pete Burns is one of the guests, and I totally forgot how funny and good that show used to be. I’m actually screaming at Emma’s opening speech thing.



Emma Willis: Hello and welcome to Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, winner of THREE TV awards!

Audience: Wooooo!

Emma: Oh yes! Didn’t know about that, did ya? We have won the award for best comedy show...

Audience: WOOOO!

Emma: ...Best entertainment show!

Audience: WOOO!

Emma: And, uh, best entertainment presenter!

Audience: WOOOO!

Emma: ... at the Transgender Zone Televison Awards 2011. And THAT is the honest truth, so thank you very much!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Also I didn't talk about how annoying Jackson was during the Shopping Task this week? Like sure, Emma was toootally selfish in not hesitating to spend two nights in the house with her hunky boyfriend Josh, but Jackson threw a whole temper tantrum about it because SHE'S GONNA COST HIM FROM SEEING HIS KID!!!!! and then the next day..... he said he wasn't going to turn around for anything?! And he did all this awful dramatic sobbing and crying and theatrics so people would BEG HIM to turn around for his kid..... and then he turned around It was the most contrived bull**** ever, he couldn't even decide what story he wanted to stick to.

Going to start using this thread to start doing housemate rankings for my BB8 first watch! Is BB8 good? I know it wasn't well received at the time and was the beginning of the end of the show. I have got a feeling it wont be as good as the greats like 5 6 and 7

First 8 weeks are brilliant. It does go downhill after Charley's eviction.

Although I still enjoy post Charley tbh.
