Yeah. It surprises me so much she has a psychology degree, you'd have thought she'd have learnt more about herself.

I'm glad I didn't know she had a psych degree when she was in the house; that would have really been more disturbing to me! She can't seem to wrap her brain around the feedback she's getting. But that Christmas guy is hilarious!

Funny how she recognises what Rodrigo is doing (starts off joking then turns) but doesn't realise she's also describing herself perfectly. I don't get her. Sometimes it really is heard to believe she doesn't know who she is.

She is also a lot younger than she looks/acts. I often forgot how young she is when she was in the house. Kept thinking she was in her 30's instead of 20's. I really think she is clueless about her behavior and I think perhaps it's because it's what's always worked for her.

In a new article on the OS, Siavash is talking about revolt again, and says they should all refuse to vote so they all go up. Seems like most of them want to go along with it. Marcus suggests they all just vote for each other so they all go up. Really with the rules change they could easily plan it so everybody gets 2 votes and everybody goes up. But I'll bet they wont be able to pull it off with the brain trust in that house. They said to pair off and each vote for the other pair but got confused when they realized there were an odd number of people.

I'm so over Siavash and the voting issue. Geez, it's the biggest part of the game. I hope he is automatically nominated against the mummy hand in the ashtray and he is evicted next week!

But she's been living on her own for a while, you'd have thought that would have changed her habits a bit, even if her parents spoilt her. I can't imagine how she gets on in real life if she's actually like this in the outside world too. I can't see her keeping many friends or even being able to interact well with colleagues. I don't think they could trust that Lisa, David and Rodrigo would stick to any nomination plan. I think BB will have to find some way around them putting everybody up, because they need a bit of excitement before the final week. Not sure how they could do it now though, they've tried everything except putting only those who don't nominate up, and I don't think they would risk doing that in case only favourites are up that way.

I really can't imagine Bea holding down a job. She'd argue everything to death and never get any work done! Unless she approaches work differently, she'd make a horrific psychologist. Her patient would come in and say, "my parents really abused me" and Bea would start carrying on about being abused by her mother when she didn't send her a video message in the BB house!!

It surprises me so much she has a psychology degree, you'd have thought she'd have learnt more about herself. ****** Very often those who major in Psychology are doing it because they know they have problems and want to work them out. I guess she is the exception. I was very satisfied that Davina didn't play nice nice with her. They were all very honest without being as mean as Bea has been in her honesty. I think Bea really does know how her behavior affects others and just doesn't care as long as she is the center of attention.

Yep, Davina was good tonight. BBBM was also good, they didn't let up on her but they didn't get into a screaming match like they have with some of the earlier evictions. Pleasantly surprising! I have a friend who's just done a Master's in Counseling after her degree in Psychology. She's more the other way, she seems (to my observations) wrong about everybody else, but she does seem to have learnt a lot about herself. I prefer armchair psychology, where no teacher tells me I'm wrong .

Sarasmile, perhaps you need to go back to those chapters that discuss ego and self esteem? I wish they'd told Bea about the reception Freddie got when he was coming down the stairs. She really thinks she's all that and a bag of chips and she really isn't. Did anyone see the article where Niorin said that Rodrigo was the bully of the house? I don't like him at all, but I don't see him being a bully. Unless they walk on eggshells to avoid his tantrums.

Regarding Siavash and his non-voting antics....I wonder if they started after Noirin left the house. I'm wondering if maybe Siavash wants to get out of the house so bad but knows that he can't say that or leave voluntarily because people hate that, but if he stirs up some trouble, gets nominated, he increaes his odds of getting out.

I didn't see the Rodrigo bully thing, but I remember in her exit interviews Noirin going on about Rodrigo. I got the impression that (other than her) they were all fond of him, except for the tantrum part, which they mostly excuse him for because he's generally likeable for the rest of the day. I think Siavash started the non-voting thing around Noirin-time because he wanted to be validated, if that's the word, by the public, i.e. if they kept him in he felt he hadn't made too much of a fool out of himself. I don't think he wants to leave, I think he wants to be seen as an honourable man, and thinks he looks good if he's constantly up and isn't chosen to go. And surviving several evictions has bouyed his ego a bit and he thinks he'd never leave anyway. I'm beginning to think if he does stage another revolt then maybe only the revoltees - probably Siavash, Sophie and Marcus - should go up. I think Siavash could go because everybody seems a bit fed up with his rulebreaking. Shame because if he let things proceed normally I think David will be up and will go, then we'd get just originals in the final week.

They all seem to go along with the plan to fix the voting so that they all get the same number of votes and all go up. David has told Lisa that he will change his mind in the Diary Room and vote whoever he wants. Lisa told him that's a good idea. I bet she does too. If that's the case, it will likely be Siavash against Marcus. Lisa knows that if the whole house is up, Siavash and Marcus are unlikely to go. Other than the one week they were all up, she has never faced an eviction vote and I think she's afraid of it. If they knew that it was a vote to save that week, she'd be terrified.

If the others trust Lisa and David to do what they arranged then they deserve what they get! Last time David nominated Marcus and Siavash, and Lisa nominated Marcus and Bea, so I agree, this time they'd both nominate Marcus and Siavash. But.... it depends who David and Lisa were "meant" to nominate originally. If they were both given Marcus to vote for, for instance, and then they still vote for him, then Siavash might get more votes total, but Marcus would still only get two nominations, there would be a tie for second place and lots would be up. If the others are going for this plan they should hedge their bets and make people vote for who they'd be likely to vote for anyway.

On the official site theres a video of the HMs doing a whistling task. They want people to do their own version and post it as a video response on youtube. Pete from S7 did one. Not sure if I can post the link but someone listed it in the comments to the video on the official site. Check it out it's pretty good. I hope they show it on BBLB. For some reason Pete's video doesn't show up as a video response on the BB youtube video, but the link from the comments described above did work for me.

As far as Bea is concerned, she has done nothing wrong. She thinks she and Freddie will be good friends. She was positive and enjoyed her stay. http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/video/87e0c70376fd63301422b9b05c2ee2e7/play.c4 http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/video/c8b622fb07b06fdff33ebd9fb7b57ffd/play.c4

Watching some of the live feeds from, I think, this night just gone, and Sophie's saying she's suspicious that Kris' agency made him do the hologram and have told him to keep the pregnancy storyline going so that there will be media attention on him when she leaves. Sophie's certainly media savvy. From the show, I also noticed how BB called Rodrigo into the diary room after the eviction when it looked like he was getting upset. Seems like they were trying to head off a tantrum.

On today's BBLB Bea says she feels she's been a bit misrepresented! And that she had an inkling she was going even though the feeling in the house was that David was going.

But on Friday she said she was surprised that it was her. I guess, like so many reality show baddies, the editing made her look bad. I don't think so Sonny Jim. If she didn't behave badly, they couldn't have put it on the show. She really is clueless about her behavior.

Yep, she threw out the "perhaps you weren't shown both sides of the argument" line. She's probably been working on excuses all night.
