So, there’s tons I want to explain on today’s blog, I think you all need explanations as to what’s going on at the moment!
First of all, some of you aren’t sure about ‘Ultimate Big Brother’ and what it all means, so in this blog I’m going to try and explain it as clearly as possible, because as I’ve said before, sometimes 140 characters just isn’t enough.
This series of Big Brother will be ending on Tuesday the 24thof August with one housemate being crowned the winner of Big Brother 2010. That housemate will exit the house, enjoy their moment, and then re-enter the house for the last two and a bit weeks with all the ‘Legends’ of Big Brother’s past. Now, a Big Brother ‘Legend’ does not necessarily mean a Big Brother ‘Winner’, so I can’t promise you that your personal favourite might be heading in. I‘ve seen the list, and I’d say that probably 70 or 80% of that list would have been my personal choices, but during a production meeting with the rest of the Big Brother crew, it became apparent that their favourites were the other ones.
So when the housemates do go in, there will no doubt be some of you shaking your fist at the TV saying, ‘They’re not the best! What about so and so!!’ Just remember that we’ve had over 150 housemates, and it was very, very difficult to choose the best of the best. They’ve gone for a real mixture of characters and personalities and the right people to make up the best mix. Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t just about who we can get, or who’ll do it for free - trust me, it’s all very well thought out and it’s going to be great, so don’t worry!
I also need to explain about the flood. I know lots of you were watching when the live feed went down, and it was all a bit scary. Rest assured however, I want you to be completely at ease in the knowledge that Big Brother will go on even if the whole house had been swept away and it was just me and six bedraggled house mates! We would never let that programme go off the air, so don’t worry – a little storm is not going to finish us off!
Last night there was flash flooding in Elstree, which obviously had a somewhat catastrophic effect on the house as the bedroom and living room became totally submerged. Now I’m not sure about the state of Corin’s wigs - I can only hope they’re okay - but the carpet was completely destroyed and is still in the process of being taken up and replaced as I type! But, the housemates have had access to the garden, the kitchen and the nest has been converted into a makeshift diary room. The task room now serves as the bedroom, and it’s back to business as usual.
When the flood actually happened (you can imagine everyone was running around like headless chickens), all the housemates had to go into porta-cabins, whilst the task teams, runners and anyone that was on sight had to muck in together to get the makeshift beds in etc...All hell broke loose! I’m so proud of the whole team though – they did an amazing job getting everything back on track, and I can’t wait to see tonight’s show!!
Finally, next week I’m going to be asking for your help in what can only be described as a Twitter crusade...all will be revealed then. Stay tuned!
