As BB4 sinks into oblivion

As BB USA pulls in only those lucky enough to have E4 (I am not watching it as BB UK is enough for me)

It is time to get back to normal business.

I am posting this here, as we non Admins can not post new topics in the interactive story thread - Sorry Rob!!!

The old interactive story seems a bit unweildy, but feel free to continue.

This is the new one and normal interactive story rules apply (Well sort of ish)

Setting the Scene
The premise is taken from a posting I did on page 2 of the BB4 "who do you want to win thread"

In an alternate universe, Helen Adam won Big Brother 2001. However this win was to doom her love affair with Paul Clarke.

Just as in our world, after Paul was evicted The News of the World ran the story "I'm going to give Helen the Heave ho". Helen's friends did not take kindly to this.

Through out the week, Paul in this universe as he did in ours protested his loyalty to Helen.

But all for naught.

Brian was seen as being really nasty and two faced for splitting the lovers and not nominating Elizebeth, and so Helen Adams won by the narrowist of margins. 100 votes.

A photo finish.

Paul gave her the Gucci, just as he did in our universe and all seemed like it was a fairy tale come true.

Then came the inuendo from Helen's so called friends.
The press ran a story that he was only after her money, and if she had lost according to Paul's "close friends" he would have dumped her.

Paul denied it.

A friend of Helen, all in Helen's best interest of course, faked a digital image of Paul with a lady of the night and sold it to the Sun. The Sun never bothered to check it was authentic.

Paul was due to have a meeting with Helen, but just before that he was visted by men in ski masks and was told that if he saw Helen then he would have to do his courting in a wheel chair. He was held long enough to miss his meeting. They then force fed him vodka and photographed him in a compromising position. The photograph was never released, But they made sure Paul had a copy...

The poison continued to drip into Helen's ear. In her heart she did not want to believe it, but the evidence seemed to mount up.

Being stood up by Paul did not help.

In the alternative universe where Helen won Big Brother 2001, the Helen and Paul romance fizzled out and a broken hearted Paul emigrated to a far away land never to be heard of again with his name as mud.

Helen lost her sparkle and did not appeare on GMTV.

In the end Helen went back to cutting hair at Classy Cutz......

Our Story picks up here

It is 2003 and in a low class bar in Cape Town. A young dishevelled man is drinking at the bar.

He is approached by a man in a suit, the smell of ozone, as you get near a live rail wafted in with him.

"Mr Paul Clarke" said the man in the suit

"Who wants to know" said Paul as he knocked back his third whiskey

"My name is Mr Tickle, I was a contestant on Big Brother four"

Paul slammed the glass down on the bar
"Don't talk to me about Big Brother - it wrecked my life"

"In this universe yes"

"What are you on about ? Go away and leave me alone"

"Sorry Mr Clarke I can not do that and we do not have much time"

Paul turned round to face the man called Mr Tickle, "Don't let me keep you"

"Mr Clarke, what do you know of Quantum theory, Schrodingers cat and the multiple universe theory"

Paul Nodded off, almost falling off of his bar stool.

Mr Tickle looked up at the ceiling, "That seems to happen in this universe as well" said to himself.

Mr Tickle took out a cylinder with flashing lights and placed it down on the counter. There was an LED display that was counting down.

"Wassat" Paul piped up

"That is not important, What if Brian had won, do you think you would have ended up in South Africa ?"

"Huh?"

Paul looked at the man again, it was Jon Tickle, the man who had done the housemate swap on the African Big Brother. Apart from that he cared very little

"Time is running out Mr Clarke" Mr Tickle exclaimed as he grabbed hold of Paul's wrist and the device. "I was sent here to fetch you"

Suddenly the bar was filled with flashing blue electric arcs and a heavy smell of ozone. The customers were stunned to see the two men vanish into thin air.

Meanwhile back in our universe where Brian had won and Paul and Helen were living happily in Hadley wood......
