Big Brother 2011 - 2nd Eviction Recap


On Friday we had the 2nd Big Brother 2011 eviction.  First to go had been Tashi and the housemates up last week were Heaven and Rebeckah.  I really wanted Rebeckah to go but Heaven just grates on my nerves like anything.

Anyway Brian announced the name to the crowd using red and blue corners which I thought was a bit stupid.  I mean sure they fight with each other but it was really dumb to do that.  The crowd seems to dislike both of them.  After that whole thing we got to see a recap of the last 24 hours in the house.

So after the whole recap thing which wasn’t all that interesting we finally get to the eviction.  The crowd seriously booed Rebeckah when Brian said their names.  Okay so they booed Heaven as well but not as much.  I think the crowd was chanting ‘get Rebeckah out’ but I can’t be sure.

We now got to see the videos that the housemates recorded as a bid to get last minute votes.  They were equally bad.  Heaven said that she can be stronger and that she gives the housemates positivity.  Rebeckah didn’t want to be evicted and feels that she deserves to stay.  She said she has been herself, honest and straight and that she will miss Aden.  She also said if she stays in the house there will be good times ahead.

I don’t know what it is but Brian was really grating on me during the eviction show.  Maybe I’m just missing Davina.  She at least made this a lot more fun.  Brian now spoke to the house and the person with the fewest votes will now be announced.  

The second housemate to leave Big Brother 2011 is Rebeckah!  She now has to stay in the house until after The Bachelor.

When Rebeckah came out she wasn’t all emotional which was a pleasant change to Tashi who attempted to cry.  The song played for her was Maneater.  Ironic since she said that she was going to tease the boys in there.

During her interview she told Brian that she was honest and truthful in the house.  No she wasn’t we say her lie to Jay.  Brian asked her why she thinks the public saved Heaven and not her.  She said that Heaven provides more in the house meaning she is a lunatic and if Rebeckah was a member of the public she would also want to keep her in the house.  When asked who she thinks nominated her she basically got it spot on.

She was a bit shocked when she saw that Anton had nominated her.  The reason?  She thought he would never do that to Aden.  I can’t believe that she admitted that she sometimes wants to kill Mark.  She feels that Heaven did not nominate her as part of a game plan.  The plan being that she would look like the better person if she didn’t.

She finally admitted that she did tell Jay about the food thing but only after they showed her the clip.  She then went on to say that her eating with Heaven and her telling Jay were actually an hour apart and Aden had told her that Heaven was eating everything because he was in the storeroom cleaning up.  I think that’s a lie.

When they showed her clips from what she had been doing with Aden I feel she looked a bit shocked.  Maybe she didn’t realise how what she was doing looked to the public?  Maybe she didn’t realise she was being hot and cold with him?  Who knows?  Anyway she did admit that she did once fancy Mark but not as much as Aden.  Of course she wants Aden to win big surprise there!

We then get to see the message she left for the house.  It was mainly for Aden, surprise surprise.  She said that she’s going to miss him and see him when they are both out.  She said to watch out for Anton because he’s a snake.  Heaven is an actress but Harry is cool so stick with him.  He should also stick with Maisy because she’s a good girl and they could be good mates.  The others housemates pale into insignificance.  He should also stay true and she will see him soon. 

I actually thought that was a good message to leave.  You really don’t want those I love you all and miss you things that Tashi did.  She at least got a last dig in and helped out one of the other housemates.  Heaven annoyed me during the video with her talking.  Personally I think she annoyed everyone.  If Heaven doesn’t get immunity she will probably be up again next week.

So that was the 2nd eviction.  The next nominations will take place on Monday but we only see them on Tuesday so let’s see what happens.

Big Brother 2011 - 1st Eviction Recap


So Friday 16 September was the first eviction show of Big Brother 2011!  The people up for eviction were Tashi, Harry and Aaron.  Of course it was again a vote to save situation.

The first thing I noticed with the live show was that Brian looks like he had a haircut.  Not so sure about it actually.  Anyway when he said the names of the nominees I didn’t know what to expect.  I haven’t been watching Big Brother’s Bit on the Side this time.  I had a feeling that Harry wouldn’t be that high up on people’s lists but thought it might be a Freddie from Big Brother 2009.  So the crowd surprised me a bit with cheering for Harry and Aaron and booing Tashi.

Next up was the recap of the previous day’s events.  The most exciting thing that happened was Aaron snogging the hell out of Tom in a game of gay chicken.  I thought it was quite funny when they fell off the chair while kissing.

Brian then spoke to the house after the recap.  The crowd was still cheering for Aaron and Harry.  Tashi seemed really shocked when there were some boos mixed in with the chanting going on.  Brian then revealed who got the most votes to save.  I was unsurprised when it was Aaron.  Come on, he’s really cool!

Brian then told the house who got the least number of votes. The first person to leave the Big Brother house is Tashi!  I’m actually happy about this.  Tashi annoyed the hell out of me.  It was the crying without tears thing that got me.

Now what annoyed me was that they left Tashi in the house for an hour after it was announced that she was evicted.  I had to wait until The Bachelor was over before I got to see the crowd’s reaction and see her interview.  I think that was really unnecessary.  

When she finally left the house she was ‘crying’.  As she stood on the top of the stairs she had a tissue and was wiping the side of her eye but there were no tears.  If you’re going to pretend to cry at least make sure you can do crocodile tears.  The crowd continued to boo her once she was out of the house.  That was actually quite refreshing as the crowd generally cheers when someone exists.  

They showed a video of Harry and Aaron in the diary room asking them what they are going to miss about Tashi.  I had to laugh because they seemed to pause like they couldn’t think of anything.  Harry said that he never really talked to her and the most he ever said was good morning to her.  So how were the boys going to celebrate staying in the house?  Aaron was going to have a shandy and Harry was going to have a bath.  Wow real party animals they are.

So the next nominations will be shown on Wednesday 20 September.  I really don’t know who they’re going to nominate this time but it should be interesting.

As a side note it seems that the girls leaving first tradition has not been broken!  It’s a bit weird to think that in every Big Brother so far a girl has left first.

Big Brother 2011 - The Live Launch Recap


Last night was the live launch of Channel 5’s Big Brother 2011.  It was tipped to be the sexiest yet but I’m not so sure.  Anyway Pamela Anderson was in the house watching all the housemates go in.  At this point I had no idea what her part in this would be and I still only have a vague idea.  Anyway let’s get to the housemates.

The first housemate is Mark!  I couldn’t be bothered to remember their last names as it is unimportant.  Anyway Mark is an idiot or so say his friends.  He also says that he looks like a flamingo when naked.  How is that sexy?  He also loves animals.  He seems a bit meh to me and I feel he could easily become annoying.  He has zero concentration level and seems to have a hard time getting what Brian is saying.  Something that is a bit weird about him is that he has a phobia of egg whites.

The second housemate in is Maisy!  I didn’t know people called their kids Maisy anymore.  She wants to be an actress or TV presenter.  She seems a bit fickle because she said that she goes from guy to guy even if she is with someone.  Seems to be an attention whore to me.  When she came out the crowd was booing her.  She says that she lives for the moment, cliché much? She thought she was the first in but the Mark pops up and is all hi there’s an egg shaped bath.  They didn’t change the house much from the celebs.

Third into the house is Aaron!  Arrogant and single by his own admission.  He said he’s not a numbers guy when it comes to women which I doubt.  He says that his way is right and he becomes upset easily.  It’s a 50/50 thing about whether you like him or not.  When he came out I laughed because he had this funny walk/swagger thing going that looked ridiculous!  The crowd had a mixed reaction to him.

The fourth housemate is Heaven!  She’s a model, dancer, blah blah.  I have a feeling she may go early but that is just my first impression, she may become better.  She has a problem with fake people and noses.  She says that fake people have no substance and no soul.  She is honest to people and they should not mess with her food.  The girl eats 8 meals a day!  Is that healthy?  She also got a mixed reaction from the crowd.  She has the most annoying laugh ever and took way too long to get into the house.  Also I would like to state that she has fake hair extensions in and took some into the house with her.  Double standards with the fake thing then.

Housemate number 5 is Tom!  He is a sales assistant and kind of cute.  He doesn’t like fat girls and is bisexual.  He seems a bit weird that could be good.  I couldn’t help but wonder what the heck he was wearing when he came out.  It was like a mesh top with shorts.  When he got into the house he didn’t stop talking.  I just noticed that Mark hugs a lot.

 
The sixth housemate is Tashi!  She does belly dancing and thinks this is the best way to use the body.  She is loud, out there and a bit too much for me.  She peaks 5 languages and doesn’t drink alcohol.  Loves giving advice and is confident.  I’m not so sure about her but the crowd is cheering.  I’m doubting the 5 language thing because she had to think about what languages she speaks when Brian asked her.  Brian also said she was slippery, not sure what that means.

Housemate number 7 is Aden!  He sleeps with a teddy.  He says that he has the ability to realise who the true people are because he has a degree in psychology.  He seems to be a player and that annoys me but may be fun to watch.  He came out being very gangster and I don’t see why.  He wants a drink as soon as he got into the house.

Housemate number 8 is Alex!  She’s only 19 but I have to say she looks older.  She sees why people compare her to Barbie and so can I.  She says that she works at the front of the McDonalds where she takes orders and does nothing else.  So in other words she’s a cashier.  She would not describe herself as marmite but then I don’t know anyone who would.  She wants to proof that not all blondes are stupid but I have a hard time believing she’s up to the task.  When she came out I thought she is orange!  She also took too long to get into the house and was making weird noises when she got in.

The 9th housemate is Harry!  He is so posh.  He believes that money makes the world go round and wants to be a millionaire by 25.  He lives in the country and goes fox hunting.  How horrible is that!  Poor foxes.  He’s bisexual but has a girlfriend and would not mind a romance.  The crowd booed him when he came out.  He runs a milkshake company and you know his parents helped him.  He also wants to be a gay icon but I always thought you had to be gay for that.  He also has no sense of smell and owns 15 horses.  He hugged Mark and asked what is your name sir?  Who speaks like that?

Housemate number 10 is Rebeckah!  Not sure what she does for a living but I think she’s an escort.  Anyway she runs a dance school for the under privileged.  The majority of her anger comes from men which should make being stuck with 7 men in a house for 2 months fun.  She wants to spice things up by teasing the boys.  She is very giggly and started crying when she got into the house.  It seems like Mark and Heaven have become the welcoming committee. 

The 11th housemate is Anton!  He thinks he’s hunky but I’m not seeing it.  He said he was here for the people but he’s not going to do anything for the people if he wins.  He was part of the gang culture but went to private schools.  Says this allows him to talk to anyone from gang people to Stephen Fry.  He was the coolest coming out so far but did these uh huh noises that annoy me.  He took tobacco into the house even though he doesn’t smoke.  Bribe currency anyone?  He didn’t want the hug Mark gave him.  

Housemate number 12 is Faye!  She does not have a nice body no matter what she says.  Any girls that annoy her she will attack.  I’m wondering if this is going to lead to a cat fight in the house.  She looks a lot better when she is fully clothed.  She said that she was there to have fun.  Change her tune a bit there after facing the crowd.  Brian asked if she brought her alter ego and she said we’ll have to wait and see.  I have to admit that she is prettier than the other girls in the house so far.  The boys are checking her out.  I have to ask if she did say she’s from London, Midlands?

The 13th housemate is Jay!  He is a plumber, barber and fitness instructor.  How does he do all those things?  Anyway he is a Geordie through and through.  I had a really hard time understanding him.  He also speaks Geordie lingo which I do not understand at all.  At least Brian didn’t understand either.  He says he wants to do Newcastle proud and that the eagle has landed.  Not sure what that means.  He actually creeps me out a bit.  I am starting to like Mark more with each housemate that goes in.

The last housemate and number 14 is Louise!  She is a model but says she is not your typical model.  She watches intellectual TV shows like Bargain Hunt.  No offense to Bargain Hunt but I don’t think it counts as intellectual TV.  She would rather marry a chef than a footballer.  Boys don’t come up to her but she is normal and will not bite.  She says a man wanted to marry her if she got elocution lessons but she wouldn’t.  I’m wondering if she knows what elocution lessons are.  She is so stupid and a bit slow.  She wanted to join the army but we don’t know why she didn’t.

So all the housemate are inside now and they still don’t know that Pamela is lurking around.  The gates blocking the garden start to open and everyone screams when they see Pamela out there.  I have to say that Pamela does a fair amount of screaming herself.  I can’t really make out what all the people are saying because they are all kind of talking at the same time.  That is where it ends.  Still don’t know why Pamela is there and what her point is.  

Well the first eviction will be next Friday.  Don’t know how nominations will be done and if they have anything to do with Pamela.  There’s no-one really good looking or exciting.  I was hoping to have another Bobby to look at since this was supposed to be the sexiest house ever.
