Kate and Tim seem to be getting on very well this evening. She doesn't seem to be missing Spencer that much.

[Amy]

How much do you wanna bet that Jade and Adele will be slagging Kate off for this they'll be nominating her next

[Mairi]

Well, Amy, I think you could be right.

If Sophie DOES go on Friday, they will need someone else to get their claws into, won't they, and who better than poor Kate?

[LEE]

Why does everything always have to come back to Jade and Adele. It was Kate's fickleness I was commenting on, not them!

Kate? Fickle?

You need friends in there! Let's just hope that Kate sees through Tim as quickly as she saw through Alex!

[Feebs]

Kate's having a rough time. I don't think we can blame her for taking comfort where she can get it.

Maybe Tim's a breath of fresh air after Spencer!!

Unfortunately everything seems to end up back with Adele and Jade and I agree with you Miriam, when Sophie has gone they will definitely turn against Kate for the very reason that Jade is already jealous of her. The little comments she has come out with like "Kate is dodgy!" and "I don't think Kate is pretty, I'm prettier then her!!" etc is very telling of how she really feels behind the cuddles and words of friendship she offers her all the time. Kate is not stupid and has now nominated Jade for the second week in a row because she doesn't trust her. Adele acts as if she thinks Kate is 'ok', but underneath I think she too is a bit envious of her and will eventually find something to nominate her for, 'competition' possibly. I also think that because Kate understandably... because they are in close association being on the Poor side... has become more friendly with their arch enemy..Sophie..this will grate on Adele and Jade so much as it has begun to do already and they will take it out on her even more once Sophie has gone.
What a carry on!!!

As far as Tim is concerned, I think he likes Kate and ever since he offered his sympathy when she broke her sunnies and burst into tears...by comforting her with a hug... I think he has now been well and truly accepted into the group and therefore Kate feels comfortable hugging him like she did with Spanky, but as she also does with Jonny. I think she likes him quite a bit too of course.

I thought that , on tonight's C4 prog, Kate looked really unwell.
I cannot help but feel a bit sorry for her. She admits to being affectionate, there's nothing wrong with that. A few 'touches' must make you seem human for a few mins whilst in the house.

[Zan]

How can Jade say she is prettier than Kate? Has she ever been introduced to a mirror? Same goes to Adele. Sophie is the prettiest in the house!

[bananarama]

I think clean shaven Alex is the prettiest girl in the house!!!

[chilledbootz]

They said on BB website Kate is suffering from really bad hayfever that's why she probably looks ill. That and she's been living like an animal for the past two weeks, and now she has to wake up next to Sophie instead of the gorgeous man on my left!!!!

Kate and Tim seem to be getting on very well this evening. She doesn't seem to be missing Spencer that much.

I think it's precisely because Kate is missing Spencer that she's accepting friendliness and cuddles from Tim. I don't think there is anything more to it than that, as far as either of them are concerned.

He's totally pi**ed off being on the poor side and finding it quite a trial, she's missing Spencer and they are both therefore trying to get through their time as best they can. If this includes having a bit of TLC then who can blame them.

[Zan]

TLC? Are you refering to their music?

[Paula64]

Is it me, or has Adele realllllllly piled on the weight lately??? Did you see her in that ball gown earlier????

I would imagine she is one of those who can dish it (in the case of Sophie) but who cannot take it!!!

[Kaz]

Yes, I noticed that too, Paula!

Adele seemed to have quite a pot belly when she was dressed in her ballgown. Although I hadn't noticed it before when she was wearing her joggers and cropped tops.

Very peculiar!

[Zan]

I noticed that too!!! She's getting heavy! She's too smart for the other housemates though. She could probably get them to vote the way she wanted them too, without them knowing that she wanted them to vote that way. (Except PJ).

[bananarama]

I noticed that too Paula64. I thaught it was me. Two of us can't be wrong. Can we!!!!!!!

[bananarama]

Wow now there is four of us. We all must have wide screen TVs.

[chilledbootz]

good bit on BBLB tonight when they showed a clip of Tim putting his arm around Kate. Didn't quite hear what Dermot said after but Spencer said he was "going over the wall". Oh bless. He's missing her.

Also funny bit when Dermot said to Spence "we're becoming so close now aren't we?" and Spence kissed Dermot on the head. Also Mark Frith(editor of Heat) was on the show and the cover shot of Spencer two weeks ago is their biggest selling issue to date. Spence looked well chuffed. So you might as well Mr Smith

Its what she gets like for not being in the gym every 5 mins - if she had a life you see she would look like this all the time.Instead she pumps iron all day to make up for her lack of personality or sexual identity.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Adele said herself yesterday that she had put on loads of weight since she had been in the house. She was saying how she was going to have to work very hard when she got out to get back in shape because she has a bodybuilding comp later on the year.

[Honey]

What was her line in the 'Tim's song'..."I eat all the food!" well I have noticed she is true to her word and now on the Rich side does seem to pack quite alot away. Funny thing is she recruited Sophie...you know her very best friend who she thinks the world of....(joke!) to help her stay away from the chocolate, and when the 'Tea Party' cake trolly came Adele asked Sophie "was it alright if she broke her diet just for that day" so that she could endulge in the choccie-creamy delights. I think from this evidence Adele does have an eating problem, and unless training finds it vert difficult to stay in trim. She has definitley put weight on since being in the house, and her big stomach was very much in evidence in that very close fitting slinky ballroom number.

[WILDCHILD]

I really dont think there is anything between Kate and Tim. I should think Kate has better taste than going for Tim.
Like you all said, she wants a bit of affection - shes lost Spencer, Alsion and now shes worryng she is gonna lose Jonny! I dont think she needs to worry.

[Boris]

I think Kate might need the bottle surgically removed from her nose..[see picture that LEE posted at the beginning of this strand]

And putting on weight in an unatural captive situation, when all there is to do is eat or gossip, does not amount to an eating dissorder just plain and total bordom
