Many centuries ago, when I was at university, a packet of cigarettes (20??) was £2.50. I'm not sure how much it is now, but I'd guess well over £4. With today's exchange rates that's $8 or more per packet. Tobacco and rolling paper is a cheap substitute for students and people who can't kick the habit but can't afford it either. That thing with Tracey - wasn't there a report of either Liam or Ziggy get into trouble for doing something inappropriate with Tracey without her permission? I wonder if that was it.

Ooo today's BBBM is finally anti (kind of) Carole! Shanessa had smartened herself up and looked very nice too.

No, that inappropriateness with Tracey happened a few days ago. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but DS reported that he may have touched her on her private parts, but she didn't seem at all concerned and thought it was nothing, whatever it was. The news clip above at CH4 was from today, and Ziggy was showing a kiss based on a conv about Shanessa claiming he had kissed her, but apparently it was a deeper kiss than Tracey expected, and it seemed it took her aback, not anger her, but surprised her. However, tonight Tracey is hammered and really "playing" with Ziggy. From reports at DS, he seems to be getting a little embarrassed at her "forwardness." Not sure what's going to happen, wonder if BB put something in the drinks, everyone is a little "friendly" tonight, more than usual. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/mazey1/2007-08-11_040602.png http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/mazey1/2007-08-11_040523.png http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m316/mazey1/2007-08-11_040609.png

Only next to Posh Spice could anyone as slim as Chanelle look bulky. I thought Chanelle decided to do her own thing and not be so obsessed with Victoria?! That outfit makes her look a bit trashy (although at least she wore shorts!). I think of all the girls Tracey is missing male company... I can't bring myself to feel sorry for Ziggy if he's bitten off more than he can handle!

Yesterday's shows are up and ready for viewing by stentionhouse at YT. The pre-eviction HL show of Thursday Day 72 has 6 parts and Fridays live eviction show has 3 parts; BBBM has 3 parts and I'll list again BBLB, which has 3 parts. Big Brother 8 UK Pre-Eviction Highlights August 10 Part 1 of 6 (HL of TH Aug 9 Day 72) Big Brother 8 UK Live Eviction Show August 10 Part 1 of 3 Big Brother 8 UK Big Mouth August 10 Part 1 of 3 Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 10 Part 1 of 3 I don't feel sorry for Ziggy either, I wonder though if Tracey will feel stupid in the morning, I can't imagine she will, but you never know; they slept in the Chiggy bed together, although some think he moved to where Tracey normally sleeps--YIKES--no rude awakening for him after all. Also, Kara-L was really massively flirty with the male HMs, Ziggy in particular, very different than her sober persona (hopefully a kitchen coup today lol). Amanda though, shied away from any advances from Brian, I think they are both very shy and naive in many ways, but they already decided to wait until they are out of the house to go out and see what, if anything, happens between them; he seems to be trying too hard and she's just shying away, it's cute though. This is the DS thread from today in the UK midnight to 6am, if anyone wants to read through the "action," or lack there of as the case may be; some of what happened is kind of funny though. Digital Spy WHATM Thread Saturday August 11 Midnight-6AM Pics of Ziggy and uhhh, Carole? YIKES again. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b227/piparrot/zigand.jpg http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1309/zandcqe0.jpg Laugh riot regarding above pics, lol worthy. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b227/piparrot/dreaming.jpg

What Davina said at the end of the live eviction was 'This week the HMs failed their task and lost their luxury shopping. But, if they fail next week, the stakes are a lot higher. They better pull their socks up if they want to stay put.' So this up coming week should be fun, a twist in the making. I hope that it's something that get's Carole out finally. We need a really good eviction next week and that just might bring people back. Davina also mentioned that Amy will be on BBLB tomorrow with Dermot, that should be fun as well. More of today's rave task pics, with pretty ballerinas taboot.

Still on Sat Day 74, in the second task the HMs had to become linguists. They all passed this task, but Liam came out ahead of everyone and received a fast food prize in the DR. Of course, that gave Carole something to moan about as well. She's on about the food allllll dayyyyyyyyy todayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! If I'm annoyed and just reading up on it, I am amazed there was no kitchen coup. She's really a massive control freak. They are all adults, if they use all the food they use all the food and they will deal with it, her whining does nothing but aggravate the situation and people. Why do they keep her around??????????????? Click for article: Word Up (HMs linguist task.) Click for article: The Master Linguist (HMs pass linguist task.) Liam comes out of the DR to let everyone know they've passed, and that bc he did the best in the task, he received an extra reward of fast food. And pics of other HMs hanging out tonight.

Here's a bit of a controversy from last night. Some people are saying Brian is getting too "affectionate" with Amanda, while others see him as a 20-year-old and she a 19-year-old just messing around. I agree with the latter. Nothing seems out of order, nor array, and she isn't bothered it seems, perhaps though becoming shy as she seems more aware of the cameras all the time, than he does. Here's a youtube of last night and one of the threads that is discussing it. I really hate for people to start labelling Brian as anything other than a kid who is very attracted to someone, while Amanda may not be as attracted, she seems to like and care about him and is very embarrassed at the attention he gives her on tv. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

This morning a new twist is unfolding, some type of journey to true enlightenment task. The HMs had to pack their suitcases and leave only 2 days of underwear and hygiene products (I think that's what was said). The furniture has been replaced with folding chairs (or something like that) and the backyard has things that remind some of Bedrock (Flinstones). A laminate was read and the nominations for this week are cancelled and ALL HMs are up for eviction this week. However, 3 HMs will be able to attain guru status and not be put up for eviction. I don't know what the task is yet, but I so hope that Ziggy and Carole go (wouldn't it be funny if Ziggy got the boot and Chanelle went back in, lol). Some seem to want Liam and Tracey gone as well, but I like them both, so I hope not, especially since Carole NEEDS TO GOOOOOO!!!!!! Nothing at the official site yet, read this at DS WHATM thread. Fun huh? ;-)

And that is why BBUK is better than BBUS. The Houseguests never control the game, BB does.

Here are some shows from today. BBLB from today Aug 12, has 5 parts (Amy was on and apparently said Carole was controlling, to which Dermot tried to shut down--I haven't seen it yet though, but sheesh); Diary Room Uncut from Aug 11 has 5 parts; and there are two live-feed clips from the last couple of nights (either Aug 9 or 10 I think), one with Tracey all over Ziggy the other night & the other with Brian and the twins cuddling (how cute).

Ziggy has won the first guru status, which means he is immune from eviction this Friday. Totally bites!!!! At least it's not Carole, but it still totally bites!!!!!! If anyone other than Carole gets evicted on Friday, I'm not sure that I'll want to watch this anymore. I can't believe Ziggy is immune this week---ughhhhh!!!!!

I figured he would, Stormie. How are they deciding "guru status"? I have this bad feeling Carole's gonna be immune, too.

The first one was some type of intellectual test, a mind guru task they called it. But it wasn't who passed initially in the morning, it was who improved the most when they did it again in the afternoon. I have to agree with Carole on this one, Ziggy could have gotten one right in the AM, then three right in the PM, as he improved the most with 200 percent. Liam suggested perhaps those who attain guru status would be up for eviction, but nothing I've read looks that way. I'm crossing my fingers it will be Carole, but if she become immune and Liam doesn't, I think it will be him. Terrible price to pay bc he already won, although people say he's changed, I just don't see it. Will Kirby got similar hits in BB2 and I thought he was hysterically funny then as I do now, I just see Liam with a similar personality. And although I don't think Liam is hysterically funny, I do think he is witty and clever. Oh well, 2 more chances for the rest of the HMs, no word yet what those tasks will be, but banter has it it will be before Wed, in time for voting to happen.

I'm not sure how much truth there is to this rag mag article, but it suggests TPTB want to evict 4 possibly on Friday, to ensure they get closer to having 4 for the finale'. It also suggests that every x-HM, with the exception of Emily, have been asked if they want to go back, highly suspect, but it would be great to see Leslie go back if Carole were still there.

Good for Chanelle :-) Apparently she's chosen to go to LA, to see if she can meet her idol Victoria Beckham at a Galaxy game (Victoria's hubby plays for the Galaxy team now, which is an American soccer team.) http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a71295/chanelle-picks-la-over-bb-return.html

Way behind on the show again - had visitors this weekend. I think they'll need to do four evictions now or do two every week for a two or three weeks, there are just so many hms left. But to evict four they'd really have to have the whole house up for votes - and who would go if Ziggy can't?! Maybe Jonty, Kara-Louise, Tracey???, Carole??? (I can but hope!).
