Yeah, I'm glad Gerry's on, some of his interviews and diary I've linked below, plus an interview with Davina about BB in general :-) And yeah again, Gerry's spoken with Chanelle.

Article: CH4 Gerry Interview

Article: Gerry's Diary Part 1

Article: Davina Speaks Out



Someone posted this at DS, it's the synopsis of today's HL show. The clips aren't up yet, but this is interesting, they don't show the entire fiasco with breadgate, why I can't say. Perhaps someone doesn't want Carole to get booed more than Charlie did, oh well. Interesting though.

Bog Post Jacomo-Fruit-Tree: Sunday August 19th HL Show Synopsis of Days 80 & 81

For me, I don't like Ziggy though, and likely never will. I think he's been playing into the cameras of he missing Chanelle, balderdash. I don't forget what his game plan was for women when he came in, I don't forget what he did to Chanelle, but it's so much worse bc he went to Carole and Charlie, knowing that they didn't like Chanelle, and talked about her behind her back, tearing her down along with them; he accused her of flirting with everyone else, bc Carole said she did, who does that?. He allowed himself to be emasculated for the sake of his image in the game, not realizing that he had the public perception of the HMs all wrong. His image may be everything to him, and that would be a good reason that Carole is finally evicted, now that he finally is standing his ground and standing up to her, but to me it doesn't take away from the person he actually is; his image was more important to him than his relationship with Chanelle. Moreover, he knew she was 19 when he hooked up with her, but used it against her at every opportunity. I just don't think he's actually changed, just his game perhaps. He'd have to do a lot more than take over the cooking for me to get close to liking him.

Today the HMs are having a posh task, where they dressed up like the 50's or a yacht club, lol, but the men have to stand up when a woman walks in the room and kiss there hand. They've also been tasked to go over posh phrases and answer them in the DR. Looks like fun, nothing major, something for them to do, lol.

More on Ziggy. He never had too much to do with Tracy, but after he heard the cheers for her when she was up with the HWH, all of a sudden he decided that she was funny and he was her pal.

That's true Mama, and they became good friends after Chanelle left. Tracey seems to be a chameleon in that way, just keeps moving to different groups to keep her head above water perhaps. Now they barely speak, though, after she said in a task, that his relationship with Chanelle was not real. I think even Gerry thought Tracey was well liked bc of the cheering, but in actuality I think she was cheered bc she was more liked than David and Shanessa. I wonder if she'll go next if it's not Carole.

After breaking her 12th microphone, BB has punished Amanda and given her a megaphone, rather than fix the current one she broke. Who's actually being punished though, lol.

Article: Wreck the Mic



So they think they can dance? Continuing on with the "posh" theme, tonight BB had tasked the HMs to learn to dance the Waltz and the Foxtrot. No word yet on when they will use these new "skills," but I wonder if they will have to dance in some makeshift ballroom, in order to win their luxury budget this week. The pairs are Samanda and Liam; Brian and Tracey; Jonty and Carole; and Ziggy and Kara-L, who is relentlessly flirting with him; she calls him Goldie now, and was sort of joking that she was waiting for Goldie in the bath. She's becoming very irritating.

I'm glad they're giving them something to do, It was getting a little boring... or is that BBUS ;) ;). Great pics thanks!

One of the On The Couch shows was talking about emotional intelligence and, as I remember it, said Tracey had practically none. I think that's why she's so off and on with people, she has no natural way of knowing what to expect from people emotionally, so just gets the hump for no reason.

This might seem a bit catty, but is Kara's hair natural at the front or dyed? I don't like it.

Kara said something about a large patch that has no pigment. I know it has a name, but I forgot it. Because there is no pigment, the hair that grows there is white. She uses makeup on the part of her face that would show.

Oh is it vitiligo? The thing that Michael Jackson claimed to have? I thought it was an odd "highlight" job on her hair.

I can't remember what it was called either, but Kara has kind of like a birth mark on her forehead, you can see a lighter patch on her forehead skin, and where the birth mark thing goes up into the hair, that is where the hair has no pigment and is lighter also. I do remember she said she was born with it, has always been that way.

Yes that's what she called it. I have that CRS disease that comes with old age.

Today in the UK it is Monday August 20, Day 83. Here's all of yesterday's shows that I see up. The highlights show has 5 parts (HL of Days 80&81); On The Couch has 5 parts; and listed again is Big Brothers Little Brother which has 6 parts (seems like Gerry got Carole's number, finally, whoohoo, and they also are talking with the host of BB Arida, way cool; I'm going to have to look for a site for this one, lol).

This site is now up to August 16 for BB8UK, yeahhhhh.

I remember that about Tracey, I guess her seeking out new friendships is not a bad thing in the long run, and she is lonely, but she seems to hang on to the people she may think are popular. It doesn't explain her friendship with Carole though, which I don't get, maybe it's the thing from OTC, and she doesn't see how Carole actually is, hmmm. Here's last nights summary on this DS thread (look for 2 of Astro's posts). Nothing major happened last night (early morn), but it's an interesting read.

DS Thread WHATM: Monday 08/20/07 BB8 Day 83 6am to 12pm

Two rag mag articles, so I have no clue if there is any truth to these. The first one, ahhhhhh; the second one, as long as one is Carole, I don't much care.

This is very funny, from a poster at DS (I especially loved the St Zippy De Doodah line, lol, too funny); they link the first one here as well.

Someone at DS mentioned that the posh task resembles something from last year. In that, the pairs that dance each go to the DR and nominate someone (one or two not sure), then whomever gets the highest noms will be up for nomination with their partner. Something like that. Anyone know about this? That would surely be an interesting twist wouldn't it?

Nothing officially has been said yet Stormie, we'll probably find out today when it comes around to nominating.

Hope it isn't the `Best friends` task all over again.

NOT THAT TASK AGAIN!

The only reason I liked it LAST time was because it sent 2 people that I WANTED to go home, home, but I'm afraid who'd be up if that were to happen.

I'm not sure that could work this time though since Sam & Amanda are separated with different partners and they're really one HM.

Diary Room Uncut from yesterday Aug 19th is up, there are 5 parts to this one.

Big Brother 8 UK Diary Room Uncut August 19 Part 1 of 5

Oh good, thanks Tissy. Then I wonder if they will evict 3 then. If they did do something with the dance twist of last year Care, Sam and Amanda are both teamed with Liam, so I think all three would be safe. Now I want to see if Carole stays to her word and DOESN'T involve herself in the shopping list. I think Amanda should do it on her own, she did it before alone and did a great job, she may be naive in some ways, but she's not stupid.

Continuing on with the "posh" task, the HMs have been given books to put on their heads and walk with. Anyone here remember doing that as as kid, playing "model," or is that just me, lol. I think they have to do everything with the book on their head, not sure, but it sounds funny. Some of the cellophane wrapping has been coming off on the books, but unfortunately they are not allowed to read them (I think). Good thing Gerry isn't there, he's of gone nuts not being able to read the books.

From the highlights show they're saying it was a difficult choice (eviction) but could have been worse, and Liam says for example if it was Carole and Brian. I'm shocked they're thinking they would want to keep Carole as much as Brian. It wasn't clear if the others agreed with Liam or not. I'm hoping things change or she won't be nominated.

Gerry should never have said anything about Carole needing to win before he left the house, I think he may have really messed things up and put the idea that Carole must win, no matter what, in everyone's mind. I do like Gerry, but I'm getting the impression from DS WHATM thread, that the HMs may not have nominated Carole after all, and that may have come from Gerry's influence. I hope I'm wrong, but tonight Liam told Carole she wasn't going anywhere and the twins agreed. Ughhhhh! Oh well. Here's some pictures of the HMs getting ready for and going through the finishing school obstacle course.

Amanda (Sam?) has still got the foghorn thing in that pic!!

I think Gerry's comments did a lot of damage. He said how much Carole needed the money and that he'd root for her to win THEN (as far as the housemates saw it) as a result the audience cheered him. I've just finished On The Couch and they said that Carole may start to go too far, because they said in her increasing stress she was showing her nasty side more. I think it's too late and she might be there to the end now. The only reassuring thing is that there is no way the audience will make her the winner.

Here are my guesses (I'm very bad at this):

Brian: Jonty, Tracey
Carole: Kara-L (because of the cooking, but she'll give a different reason), Liam (he criticises her)
Jonty: no clue really, perhaps Liam and Brian because he doesn't have much in common with them
Kara-L: Tracey, Carole
Liam: possibly Carole (I think he wants to), Jonty
Samanda: Jonty, Kara-L (won't go against the originals)
Tracey: Ziggy, Kara-L (no one else to target)
Ziggy: Tracey (because of her comments about Chanelle and him), Kara-L (because of the name calling)

So that would be
Jonty 3
Tracey 3
Kara-L 4
Liam 2
Brian 1
Carole 2
Ziggy 1
Samanda 0

which would mean Kara-L, Jonty and Tracey would face the public vote. I think Kara and Tracey might go.

Tracey's reaction to the speech task (Highlights, Aug 20) is interesting. She goes to the caravan to cry because she has difficulty with the pronunciation of some phrase BB tells them to say. It's like she's afraid to try. I do feel sorry for her.

Brian's "how now brown cow" was a little amusing :-). When I grew up although the local accent wasn't "posh" you had constant exposure to the BBC accents on tv, now the tv announcers and hosts have kept their accents so I guess it's possible he really can't recognise the difference between what he's saying and what he's hearing.
