your commentary on chanelle is making me scream

[Epic.]

*after it's announced Charley is nominated*
Charley: You don't understand how relaxed I am about it, you DON'T understand. I will end up saying things to people and I don't wanna look like a bitch on a lead so I'll say what I've gotta say on the door when I leave. If I stay here another week longer, I'll be VERY miserable and VERY rude! And I mean that. Not just saying it..... No but I'm not being funny Carole I've been saying all week I wanna go home I've not just been saying it I haven't been saying it for the fun or for the attention you can see I really wanna go home, I've been in that diary room every single day saying to Big Brother "I feel unhappy here, I don't wanna stay no more..." Gonna be honest with you, people that I've liked have gone, don't get me wrong I love yous to bits and whoever else but... it's time for me, I really wanna go, and I think since I've got that message from my mum and that it made me feel better? It made me see that it's all good, and that I'm not hated or anything like that, I've been here eight weeks and going into my ninth week I'm happy. Honestly I'm really happy, you lot can see I am, usually I'm sitting there like 'Oh noo', I'm really happy to go, and what the f.uck, people said I'd be the first to win the million and they said I'm gonna be remembered in five years that's AMAZING.
Chanelle: *whispers to Sam* I'm going outside to chat to Zac *walks away*
Charley: I'm glad, cause I will sit here and make someone's life HELL when I know that cause I'll be downright rude... sick of people in my face talking S.HIT!
Chanelle: *walks away as fast as possible*



We love a motivational speech from BB8's rootable protagonist

Yes they were, They would occasional Play Pranks on their fellow housemates and along with Anthony They would have Lad Chats.

I'm not saying they were BFFs or Anything, But they weren't at each other's throats. Science throwing the Bin at Maxwell was the turning point and the beginning of their Feud

Changes in colour/placing for some of them compared to when they left (ie Nick) because in hindsight I enjoyed them more!

Overall a really solid series for what it is. It's not gonna blow your mind and admittedly I didn't enjoy it as much as the first time I saw it 2 years ago, but it was really breezy to watch and still enjoyable. If you can get past the bumpy presentation of the first week when no one from production really knew what they were doing, and if you can get with the vibe this series has, I'd recommend it.

It's got some FANTASTIC housemates in Caroline and Anna, and of course Nick. What he gets up to seems especially tame by the standards of what followed in the 18 years since this series, and even I didn't buy into it initially, but the presentation is utterly fascinating and peak social experiment.

I dunno if I'm in the minority but this series also has the first awful winner Craig is so self-righteous and eager to be the top dog in the house that it is nauseating. He was incessantly obsessed with public perception, under some guise of being caring - maybe it was, but it rubbed me the wrong way entirely.
Credit where it's due, he did instigate the Nick confrontation, but his involvement is so overblown by the public. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only person who got anywhere in that discussion was Anna.

The tasks are very barebones as it truly was a basic social experiment, but for the most part they do their job of forcing the housemates to get to know each other and challenging dynamics and roles. Even something as simple as riding an exercise bike caused division in the house, with Craig accused of being lazy and milking his injury; leading to the first ever BBUK argument between Caroline and Craig. Of course there's also the assault course task, in which Nick hilariously lies that he was in the army or something and it's exposed moments later when he's the worst in the task

The series has a lot of dated elements - the final week featuring just three housemates, for instance. While I found it fine due to the short episode lengths and Anna existing, it simply would not work in the show today. Indeed, even just a year later they upped the final week number to 4 and it never went below that again. I did love the Monday episodes with the psychologists in between segments - this went on til BB5 or 6 yeah? Imo it kind of encouraged a bit of higher thinking when watching the show and helped me understand certain situations/dynamics a bit more.

BB1 was an iconic piece of television that not only changed the landscape of British television but television worldwide. When Big Brother finally hit here in Australia the year after, it was heavily influenced by the UK version (and continued to be throughout its run), albeit with its own flairs, and the weekly format rather than the fortnightly format became far more popular in international versions. It all started here.

CBB1 is up next for me but being only 8 days it'll be here and gone in a second
From what I remember of it, it's pretty dull but Vanessa is iconic!

[Scoot]

Ooo when I watched CBB1 on youtube a few years ago it didn't have the Countdown to Launch special - perched!

[Scoot]

My internet is being poo with the website so while I wait please take a moment to enjoy these housemate icons I made for my rankings since brantsteele don't have the CBB1 housemates.

[Scoot]

Okay the website is just NOT playing ball atm so I'll try to start CBB1 tomorrow

Thank you all for joining me on this courageous journey.

BB5 - Week 1

1. Michelle
2. Nadia
3. Kitten
4. Shell
5. Ahmed
6. Victor
7. Emma
8. Jason
9. Stuart
10. Vanessa
11. Daniel
12. Marco

Good first week, not as good as BB6's but probably my second favourite first week overall. Michelle was truly a cackle, Nadia didnt do much but I find watching her do nothing fascinating <3 Kitten was a mess and way more comfortable as a week 1 crazy than Shahbaz so I could enjoy it all, Ahmed was meh until the middle of the week but since then he's the crazy I remember <3 arguing with everyone and sticking up for Kitten <3 Vctor had some cute diary rooms

Marco is awful and even worse than I remember

Chanelle's best eps are actually the ones after Charley leaves so enjoy her next 4 days or so
