Big Brother 2011 - 2nd Eviction Recap

On Friday we had the 2^nd 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 2^nd 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.

Celebrity Big Brother - The 3rd Live Eviction

So tonight was the 3^rd eviction on Celebrity Big Brother 2011.  Up for eviction were Bobby, Darryn, Lucien and Tara.  They got there because Pamela did not choose to give them immunity.  I personally was hoping that either Darryn or Lucien was going to go.  Unfortunately we don’t vote to evict but to save which is really stupid.

Anyway the show started with a recap of everything that happened in the last week.  Some of the things that stood out for me that they just had to bring up was the whole Kerry/Lucien romance.  I personally think it’s a bit of a show, particularly on Lucien’s part.  He never showed any interest in Kerry until a few days ago.  I think Channel 5 is pushing the romance thing to get those two in the limelight and get them more publicity.  Guess we know who the channel wants to win.

We then go a perfect Jedward moment.  The hot water had been turned back on after being off as punishment.  Jedward were in the diary room saying that you don’t understand how important hot water is until you don’t have it.  Then came the saying of the night for me.  John says: Cold water is just so cold.

We then got a recap of the task yesterday which was a shopping thing.  Darryn was disqualified in the first round and was being such a baby about it.  I saw his arms droop, everyone saw his arms droop!

It was then video time where all the potential evictees get to tell us why they should stay.  Let’s see what they said:

Bobby was first on and he said the he has come full circle and started on the back foot.  To me this means that he is now on the back foot again but anyway.  He also said that he is enjoying himself and is putting effort in.

Darryn was his usual annoying self and decided to use props.  He first thanked everyone (wanting to get brownie points much?) then shows a stuffed heart (from the bottom of his heart), at this point I booed at my TV.  

Lucien was next just saying that he was having a whirlwind experience and he doesn’t want it to end.  Why should we vote for him?  He didn’t really give a reason other than he was having an experience.

Tara said she wants to go all the way to the end.  A very in it to win it sort of thing going on here.  She also said that she’s having fun and wants us to go with her to the end so vote for her!  

Anyway we then went back to yesterday’s action and see that Lucien is admiring Amy.  So much for a Kerry/Lucien romance.  Darryn was also in the diary room complaining about being eliminated.  Is Channel 5 trying to make us hate him?  If they are then they are doing it really well.  After this Lines were closed!

Brian then said all the potential evictees names and the crowd doesn’t seem to know who they like and don’t.  They made these weird booing cheering noises.

We then got to see Jedward do their shopping task and it was hilarious.  I never thought 5 minutes of shopping could be so captivating.

Now it’s time for the eviction!  Finally!  So Brian will now tell us 2 housemates that are safe.  The first safe housemate is Darryn!  The next one is Lucien!  What is the world coming to?

So the housemate who was evicted was Tara!

This is just so wrong.  Anyway there was no twist like with Pamela and I wish there had been.  Tara would have been so much better for that.  Anyway during her interview Tara made Brian run away by stating that they (the channel) gets to choose what they show and can sway things.  I totally agree with you Tara.  Bring back the live feed!

So now with a ridiculous number of housemates still in we are voting for who we want to win.  Seriously they have 7 housemates still in there.  This is looking more and more like a money making ploy from Channel 5.

By the way I hate the crowd outside the house.  They boo Tara while she’s in the house but are all supportive when she is out.  Are they getting prompts or something? 

Celebrity Big Brother - The Second Eviction

So the second eviction show is over and while the eviction itself wasn’t that exciting what happened next was.  The eviction was being promoted as a surprise eviction but I had a hard time thinking what the surprise could be since the housemates did nominate.

So to start let’s recap who was up for eviction.  Darryn Lyons was one of the housemates up for eviction.  The general reason for this was that he was bossy and it was his way or the highway.  Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff was the other housemate up.  There were quite a few reasons why from her not listening to people to her karma being bad.

For the last couple of days the lines have been open and again it was a vote to save.  I have a serious problem with this system because it was always a vote to evict before.  Voting to save just seems like a way for the channel to make more money.  Anyway back on topic.

When the show started I couldn’t help but think that Brian Dowling looked good.  The crowd at the house was a bit off, I have to say.  They seemed to be making the same non-committal noise for both housemates.  Generally one will get a better response but then again maybe they just don’t care about these two.

Now they showed the inside of the house and this got me thinking if it is a surprise eviction the housemates shouldn’t know.  Then I thought they have to pack their bags so there is no way that they can’t have any idea what’s happening.  

Anyway the two housemates up for eviction were given a last chance to get the public to vote for them.  They each did a little video in the diary room tell us why we should keep them in.  Darryn said that he knows we will miss the hair.  Honestly I didn’t think it was a very good video and it kind of made me dislike him more.  Pamela is giving the money she makes on the show to charity and she says she’s enjoying the experience.  I liked her video a bit better.

After the ad break Brian was talking to the house.  I have to ask what the heck was Darryn wearing.  Seriously it kind of scared me.  Anyway crowd shouting was playing as well and when he said the housemate’s names they yelled.  They seemed to like Darryn and boo Pamela which was a bit weird considering before they had made pretty much the same noise for both of them.  

So the second housemate to be evicted was Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff.

Saw that one coming.  So she was given 30 seconds to say goodbye and when she left she said angels watching over you.  What does that mean or have to do with anything?  I sort of wondered what Brian was going to do because he seemed a bit uncomfortable with Pamela when they all went in.  The music seemed to take a while to start up for Pamela but other than that it was a relatively normal exit with minimal booing.

So after being evicted Pamela is shown who nominated her.  Jedward were the only ones who didn’t nominate her.  While this is all fine and dandy I was still waiting for the surprise and it is good.

The surprise came after a bit of talking to Pamela about the house and why they didn’t like her (because Darryn said so).  Big Brother announced to the house that Pamela was gone; really I’m sure they hadn’t noticed and that half of the housemates will be up for eviction.  The house was quite shocked but the surprise is that Pamela gets to decide who is not up for eviction.

So Pamela had to choose 4 housemates to save from the eviction.  The first housemate that she saved 1000% was Jedward! Next to be saved was Paddy (no surprise there, they did get on well).  Then it was Pamela sexy sister Amy.  The last housemate she saved I think was influenced by the shouting of the crowd and that was Kerry.

So there is another eviction on Friday and the housemates up are Darryn, Tara, Bobby and Lucien.  I’m personally voting to save Bobby and Tara.  Couldn’t care less about Darryn and Lucien.
