Kitt- I think because they knew she'd be combatative and would stir things up in the house (and they also thought she'd be gone in three weeks or less anyway, so just long enough to be the story the first part of the series but not a mjor storyline later on)- but I think they underestimated how quickly things would deteriorate with her. And I also think she pretty much knew she was gone Friday, and was planning to start something before then that probably would have broken down into a serious fight- they had no real choice here.

Yeah. They probably wanted to get viewers hooked watching the "excitement." I wish they'd be more careful about the excitement they want to get! It's not like they didn't have plenty of people to chose from.

I read some of the updates on DS from last night. I'd forgotten that, in the little summary before the housemates went in the house, Jennifer was very opinionated and a little aggressive herself. Some of that came out last night, so I wonder if she'll soon be upsetting a few people.

It'll be good to see the quirks of the rest of the housemates revealed.

Rebecca saw an envelope that came with some of the weeks supplies...and it ended up being a "Go To Jail" card

It does make sense the producers would know Alex was combative, but after last season with the control freak and the screaming banshee, you'd think they'd come up with something a lot more clever than more of the same. Maybe the ratings are already low and they needed to get rid of Alex now, rather than wait, to bring people already sick of what's been going on, back again.

Was Alex on BBBM last night? I haven't checked yet, but she can probably go to any tabloid and tell her side if they don't let her say anything on those shows. It certainly might bring it viewers if they do, even if Dermot is not there.

I hope they have some twist tomorrow, new person or a visitor or something.

Yep, it's a new housemate!

From the Ch4 website:

Friday's show... the Alex interview and a NEW HOUSEMATE going in...

You've all been wondering what's going to happen on Friday night's show... so here's the lowdown.

You'll be able to see Davina's interview with Alex and what an interview it's going to be - we're on the edge of our seats!

Then get ready for a NEW housemate to enter the House - but who will they be? What impact will they have on the House? Keep checking back for more info...

You can watch the show on C4 at 9 - 10pm and 10:30 - 11:05pm.

It's not to be missed!

This has been bothering me for a while, but it played a big part in tonight's daily show...

Tins of spaghetti for breakfast? What's the deal with that? Is this a normal breakfast in the UK?

I haven't watched today's show yet, but canned spaghetti (which comes in tomato sauce like British baked beans (which aren't really like US baked beans as they don't have that brown sugar/maple flavouring)) are often eaten on toast or if you had a full breakfast (egg, bacon, sausages) you might have baked beans or spaghetti with that.

I'd say "normal" breakfast would be cereal or toast, but if you're having something hot, spaghetti hoops aren't that uncommon.

Interesting daily show. I don't know how much creative editing was done, but I don't see how Alex's comments could NOT be taken as a threat.

They were an obvious and outright threat. The fact that she didn't seem to understand just boggles the mind.

Davina's interview tomorrow, no doubt pre-taped, should be interesting. Though by then I expect Alex will be in complete CYA mode and all apologetic.

Thanks for clearing up that breakfast thing. Bizarre.

Wow, yes, I'm just starting it. And Darnell's trying to pretend she's not saying what she's clearly saying. And going on about people's families too. I think she's got a screw loose to be honest.

It seems her defense for why it wasn't a threat is that she knows there's a time and a place for intimidation and she has brains and knows she can't do that in the house, because it's too incriminating!

I can't see her being apologetic to Davina, she's just going to say she was misunderstood and didn't mean what they said she meant.

Thanks for the info :-)

She may have known exactly what she said and what it meant, but would never fess up, or apologize for it bc of the trouble it could get her in, which it did anyway. I have zero expectation of truth from the interview tomorrow, but we'll see. I still don't believe the producers didn't know about her, they've been doing this for years. I'm glad we get to see Davina tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how a new person fits into the drama.

Sounds like Chef Boy Ardi.

I think maybe they had to go through several levels of staff to get a final decision, and they also had to have handlers/psychologists/lawyers(?) ready for her as she left. I wondered about the task too, maybe they felt she was busy during the day doing that (so wouldn't create trouble) and it would affect the other karaoke players unfairly.

I wonder how many new people they'll bring in this season. I hope this coming new person gets immunity for the first week or you'd think they would be up straight away. I don't like new people coming in late in the season, but this early it doesn't seem too unfair. I'm looking forward to seeing what personality they choose.

Lots of little disagreements in the house today it seems. Some are upset at Rex being selfish over the shopping list and Mohamed called a meeting to discuss it. Sylvia was noisy last night and kept Mikey awake. Rebecca has annoyed Mario and Lisa, not sure why.

I should be able to watch the streaming of today's live show, and if I can I'll post about Alex's interview and the new person.

Mohamed had a point at least, since he had dietary requirements...

Rumor has it it's a guy coming in tonight....

and I think Mario is going next week anyway (if the eviction hadn't been called off, I think there was a good chance he would have gone...)

Two girls out and they're putting in a guy? Is this a "replacement" or just a new housemate?

I hate to say it, but I actually thought Mario had some good points, when he said that Rex should think as if he's cooking for his family, not at a restaurant. Rex's meals may be gorgeous, but I'd rather have three square boring meals a day that spend all my money on one top notch meal.

It seems from BBBM and BBLB that Mario might have a bit of a following - not a positive one, but because he says such stupid things sometimes they think he's entertaining and want him to stay. I don't know if that was only because he was up against Alex though.

If Sylvia or Rex are up (and I think they will be) I can see them getting a lot of votes because Sylvia seems to like spreading trouble and Rex won't be liked for many for being arrogant.

As long as they don't have a task based nomination next week I'll be happy! I really don't like those.

From DS

Clues revealed about new housemate
Day 16, 19:45 BST
By Sarah Rollo

Big Brother has revealed clues as to the identity of the new contestant due to enter the house.

The group member is expected to arrive this evening, but snippets about his or her identity have been confirmed.

The new housemate has done nude modelling in the past, has a five-year-old daughter, and hates anyone touching their nose.

Channel 4 have also confirmed that he or she would hate to be called "ugly", is single, and does not read books.

Friends describe the housemate as a "daft cheeky tart and flirt" and he or she would rate themselves eight out of ten for attractiveness.

The new arrival comes after Alexandra was removed from the show on Wednesday for repeated unacceptable behaviour.


The hms have been told there's a live show and they all seem to be expecting that one of them will be leaving.

The new person is a "replacement."

And the audience are now shouting "Get Mario Out!"

Highlights for a while before Alex's interview and the new entry.

Replacement is a male, has not been in isolation but claims he has only seen a couple of episodes. It is against the rules for him to mention what he's seen (or anything about the public reaction) once he's in the house.

I'm wondering if it's a gay man because of the "tart" comment by his friends. That's not something people usually say about straight men. Dennis will be happy if that's the case.

He's just scary! Both him and Lisa are caricatures. Gross caricatures! I can kind of see why people want them to remain in the house, you don't often get a chance to see people like that!

Alex interview, couple of days since she left the house.

She's been in a hotel. Spoke to Heat Magazine(!?!?).

Wants to have her chance to say her piece. Shows clips of chipgate, her and Mohamed, the thing with the lighter, her saying she likes to be a threat, then the gangster threats. Alex says it's all in the editing, even though she admits she said the words. Said yesterday's show showed three conversations mixed into one. Davina says other hms were concerned and they saw her unedited. Alex says no one felt they were threatened, but she could have said things in other ways. Says the first threat comment was shown out of context. Davina shows clips of other hms being affected by what she said/did. Alex says she understand what people are saying but says if people have a problem they should say about it. Davina asks if she's upset that even her friends were upset at what she said. Alex said she was compassionate when others were upset and it wasn't shown. Blah Blah Blah. Says she's very sensitive. 87% of public voted for her to be evicted before the vote was cancelled. Dav asks what Alex has to say about that and Alex just basically says it was editing and others did things too. Asks if regrets - says she wanted to be herself. Says she's learnt that she's more hotheaded than she thought. Learnt you can say your point without going on so hard.

New housemate!

Cute guy. Stuart, 25, property developer. Says he doesn't get on well with guys. Never been in love. Likes people asking if he's gay but he is straight. Arrives on a motorbike.

My first impression is not overly good. I can see him clashing with Dale because they probably both want to be the pretty one in the house.

Don't think the others were expecting anyone. Calm reception. Very civil. Sylvia looks happy, Jen too. Kind of subdued, he's just looking round the house now.

New hm IS immune from next week's eviction.

That's all.

Thanks Stormie and you're welcome. I wonder what happened to Justin.

For some reason I just don't like the new guy. I'm not sure why. I think he'll be a troublemaker. I wonder if they chose him because of the Dale-Jennifer thing... it seems like he's tailor-made to cause a rift in a relationship that turned out to be pretty boring. Two plus points for BB: it could create a row and it could create a real romance with Jen and Stuart that the viewers would like.
