Noirin has been worried that the public hates her - and then in the next breath says she doesn't care. At this point, I think she'll leave on Friday if nominated - against anyone. I hope that when she leaves, Marcus and Siavash will be able to mend their friendship. It seems that Noirin only accomplished one thing after all is said and done: damaging a pretty strong friendship within her own little group!

Again, thanks for the schedule Kitt. I think they could put anyone against Niorin and she will leave. She's just played her game too often for people to think she doesn't know what she is doing. It will be very funny if they do put her ex in and she goes. He'll likely pull a Kenny rather than a Tom. He doesn't seem all that and a bag of chips to me. Even Marcus seems like a better catch than a anger filled media ho.

I really hope they don't put her ex in. Now it's had so much media attention I'd hope they don't even if they had planned to. Bringing some baby pics over here from the Ch4 site. The (large) originals are here: http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/gallery/Day54/d54_babies.html?decorator-index=5 Guess the baby housemate! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Pretty sure 3 is Siavash and 6 is Sophie. I think 1 might be Marcus and 2 might be Bea. Maybe Charlie for 7? They haven't given answers (yet). eta: changed my guess on 7 to Freddie, after seeing the big pic and the fireplace behind him!

Why don't they just boot Marcus already? (BB) He goes against everything. He's on my last nerve, thinking he's so much better than everyone, when he's not in any way at all.

He's more than a bit clueless isn't he? His chat with them was enlightening though, that he wasn't actually being aggressive but he thought it was good tv. Still wrong, but at least it's something BB can work with. Assuming Marcus wasn't lying of course, he might have just been trying to justify his actions. A lot of people seem to dislike Bea but she makes perfect sense to me.

I think baby #1 looks like Rodrigo... but maybe not because the eyes don't look right

I like Bea also. She's very straightforward. I can't believe Marcus actually thinks he just got up one day and everyone was against him. He's been horrible for sooo long and is constantly telling Noirin everything she says is wrong. That's what abusers do. She was like his prisoner more than his friend. It's disgusting. Marcus..it's been a long time coming..you deserve everything you get and more. You are sooo negative and arrogant. Now, you appear to be clueless as well. Thanks for posting the videos of the Tom/Marcus talk, Kitt. I'm enjoying watching it.

Bea seems to be the only normal one to me. All the others have some sort of quirk that makes them slightly odd. It makes it easy to figure out why they are on the show. Bea is only there to have someone to ground the others. 5 could be Charlie. The others just look like babies to me.

5 does have the Charlie grin. 4 could really be anyone but I'm assuming it's a boy because of the blue. I think that it be Rodrigo. I was interested in today's edit. They could have made it very anti-Marcus but chose not to. Even the quick clip about the DR scene at the Ch4 site looked a lot worse than that, because they cut out the pauses. When you see the whole thing it looks more odd than that he was angry. I was very amused by his justification for "knowing" the frog was a toad was because he'd seen it on Adrian Mole! Maybe Adrian Mole got it wrong! I can't help but feel bad for Marcus, for all his flaws I think he's a gentle man and his ego/protective mechanisms just got in the way of him accepting Noirin wasn't interested. Now he's finally realised he feels like a fool and doesn't know what to do with himself. And Siavash too, just seems like a sad and broken man! He probably thinks he's blown it with his girlfriend outside for nothing. Which is true, he has! I get the impression honour is very important to him, and he feels like he's let himself down. Noirin didn't even get a particularly bad edit, just her actions spoke for themselves...

Again there's no leak/early press release on the nominations. We'll have to wait until tomorrow's BBLB. I wanted to know!

On DS forum they claim it's Niorin and Marcus which makes sense but I have no idea where they got that information so don't rely on it.

Yep, just saw it, an article in Tuesday's Daily Star, saying "Noirin to fight it out with Marcus!" Noirin would go home as it stands now... who knows what will happen by Friday though!

I finally finished tonight's HL show and I hope that Noirin is nominated and leaves. What she is doing with Siavash is really disturbing to me. Bea is incredibly perceptive for someone in a BB house (where all reality is suspended and then gets bent) and she tried desperately to keep Siavish in perspective, but then Noirin played him again and he fell for it. I cannot believe how angry I am with Noirin! I cannot even make all the comments that I wanted to on this show because she is bugging me so much.

I'm going to admit that I still really like Marcus and I'm not sure why... his behavior in the diary room during the task was strange, and his explanations for it even stranger, but his interactions with Bea won me back. He tries so hard to be sweet and kind, but did you notice that as soon as Bea cuddled with him, he started picking and scratching at his nose? He can be such a pig, which turns people off and keeps them from "getting physically close to him."

Yeah, I noticed the nose stuff too. I don't know if it's a nervous thing or if he does it so much he doesn't realise he's doing it. My instinct also says he's a good guy, but just with a (too) huge ego and bad social skills. I'm not sure but maybe the DR room thing is part of the bad social skills, he doesn't have much of an idea of what most people think is "cool" and what most people think is "uncool" behaviour.

His idea of "cool" does come from comic books, Kitt

Maybe he'd have had better success in getting BB to understand what he was doing if he'd have been in a batman costume .

According to the overnight (=over day) twitters Noirin and Marcus have half made up, and are at least speaking. There's a Tiny Dancer task where Marcus is the lead dancer(!). And on tonight's (=this morning's) BBLB "Kris fights back after Tom's parting bombshell."

Nominations confirmed, and I found this list of reasons: Bea: David (non interesting conversations), Lisa (agenda) Charlie: Noirin, Siavash David: Marcus (house would be happier without him), Noirin (personality only comes out when drunk) Dogface: Hira (acting false), Marcus Halfwit: Charlie, Lisa Hira: Marcus (inappropriate DR behaviour), Siavash (because of way he acts round Noirin) Lisa: Noirin, Bea Marcus: Hira, Noirin (not very nice) Noirin: Marcus (probably wasn't her friend), Lisa Rodrigo: Noirin, Marcus Siavash: Hira, Lisa ~~ Noirin 5 noms Marcus 5 noms ~~ Lisa 4 Hira 3 Siavash 2 Bea, Charlie, David 1

We are never going to get rid of Lisa. They all complain that others are there for the wrong reasons, they are there for the money, they have an agenda or they have a game plan. Question for everyone: What reasons would they have to go on national television for however many weeks? 1 They want to win the money. 2 They want to promote themselves in a career be it fame, or just to be known and improve their position in their present occupation. 3 If they want either of the above, they need to have both an agenda and a game plan. Why do they complain when housemates show that they are doing any of the above. Are they there for a vacation? Do they really think they are participating in a social experiment? Are they out of work and figure what the heck? From what little I've seen of the audition process, it takes a chunk out of their lives, so why do it for no reason?

They all seem to think that they are in there for the "noble" purpose of "the experience". We've seen it in every BB, especially the Australian and UK versions. To say somebody is "playing the game" is a serious insult. That attitude was really prevalent on the Australian BB. It was reinforced constantly by Gretel as well as the media and official websites. Every eviction, one of the main questions asked was "who do you think is 'playing the game'?" I think it was even one of the official "Ten questions" that Gretel would always ask.

I think the trouble with many there is that their gameplan is no more thought out than to be "famous." If you don't have any real talent what that means is take a few clothes off, get on some magazines, and spend as many years as you can being paid diminishing amounts for special appearances at events and parties. It's hard to make that seem noble, so they can't admit it, even to those who are clearly doing the same thing. I don't actually know the motives of some of them in the house (assuming it's not simply the money, which it might be)... Marcus for instance, does he want to be big in Comic Con conventions? I don't see what his next step is. Siavash, is he looking for something to do with fashion?
