Denise said tonight "The twins are on one tonight, they are on one" what does that mean?
Does it just mean they were being loud?
I dunno exactly, I assume she meant like on a buzz, being happy, they're going crazy.

Think it means different things to people all over the country. Might be cos they were owning all the guys in the house

It can mean one of two things depending on the context:
* They are on one - moody, angry, menopausal, on their period etc.
* They are on one - They are on a roll, being hilarious, clown like, being quick and witty with come backs etc.

Denise is such an opinionated person, but without live feed we have no idea how she feels about anyone. I feel like we havn't seen anything from so many housemates, because they don;t fit into the highlights show, but then how are we expected to vote?
I really miss live feed now, cause it really feels like we don't really know how people are getting along without seeing them in the more quiet moments. Just showing them when they are doing tasks or acting up, really doesn't let you know how people are getting along.
I really have no idea who likes who, and who hates who, besides Kirk and Nicola hating the Twins, and Nicola not liking Georgia.
Who is Denise getting along with? What does Romeo think about anyone?
that being said, i think this is a really good lineup of people, and i really wish i could watch them live!
It really feels like we arn't seeing anything. The brilliant thing about BB used to be that you'd know all the minutia in their relationships, you'd see the subtle moments that told alot, that wouldn't make the highlights show.

Me neither, which is why the nomination result was a shocker for me! Well not one person but the other.

I'm more excited about this CBB than i have been with even alot of the c4 CBB's, and it's such a shame we don't have live feed. soo frustrating., i don't understand how they can't just put live feed online like BBUS, they are recording 24/7 so why can't they put it up????

Yeah, absolutely. Especially when there's so many of them in the house, they try to cram bits and pieces of what they think is entertaining into an hours show and we end up not getting to know people properly.

So was Denise being mean and talking sheiet about the twins do you think? Or do you think she was just saying they were being live wires?
Do you think she doesn't like them?, that's what i'm tryna figure out.

Because they don't get to control what we see that way. With no live feed C5 can control how the housemates are portrayed and make them into characters that they probably wouldn't be in real life and extenuate certain traits to suit their needs.

Okay thanks, I was confused, because it seemed Denise was really enjoying the twins song later and we havn't seen her being mean to the twins, and i wondered, is she being fake and doesn't like them, or not.
It didn't seem like she was being mean, but i didn't know.
