[Romantic Old Bird]

This line is getting very profound.

I know feelings are very acute about these things.

Having seen Brian's parents and family it is a shame he didn't have more faith in their ability to accept him for himself. They seemed lovely, but he had dropped it on them at the last minute, and that was a shame. I felt for them. He dropped the bombshell and then entered the BB cocoon, leaving them to deal with the most public 'outing' imaginable of their only son and heir.

I don't know about the comparison you make with wondering if she had a boyfriend. I think it wasn't just that. P&H were going through an absolute turmoil with their feelings, and love is incredibly intense and all enveloping.

Helen was pointing out to Brian that she and Paul had been confronted with the spectre of the outside world repeatedly over the weeks. One or the other had to face up to it each week. She was just trying to tell him to calm down, she had been through it. They were both very hyper at the time.

Last week paranoia. Remember how they thought something nasty was about to befall them all through the last week of BB3?

I think it is fair to say that for a gay or bi sexual person, Brian's dilemma and Josh's uncertainty was pivotal to BB2.

For a romantic old hetero, the love story was the best TV ever, unfolding in front of my very eyes. WOW! I don't care how gauche and inept Paul was, or how relentlessly and coquettishly predatory Helen was, it was FANTASTIC!! Call me selfish. It made me feel good.

cc, I'll give my housemate views later. Now, back to work
