[Romantic Old Bird]

I did go to work, but everyone there was talking about it, and some people recorded each day from about 12 noon (wHen they all had just about surfaced from their beds) until they came home, then watched it till they went to bed, then taped it again! Only week 7 and 8 maybe.

The two nights I remembered to tape the live coverage overnight were:

1. The Monday where P&H went to the den and Paul finally gave in and held his arms out to her, and they cuddled for hours.
I was so thrilled when I came home, span through my tape and found that!

2. The Thursday - P&H's last night together - where I left it taping all night and Channel 4 gave them some privacy by showing bloody Elizabeth sleeping instead of the den

Judging by the live streaming of the den that night, there was some pretty HOT stuff going on in there

I went to work early and dashed home early each night.

I was certainly not alone in this sad obsession at the time!

BB3 I had no desire to see anything much more than the 30 mins a day that was shown, and I forgot them (or tried to) the minute it was over.

I didn't see the love train. I saw Jerry Springer - it was OK.

Alex entertained me the most.
