They had a link to Marcus' website at DS:
http://www.irrepressible.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

He makes custom little scifi/comic book characters out of metal. He has a few "short stories," more like poems there too.

Beware of the "gallery" section, some nasty of pics of injuries, like when his friend cut his hand with a sword (shudder).

UK BB doesn't pay much either, what is it, 70K? 100k? so maybe $175k or so in US dollars to the winner

Yeah, £100K. It'd buy you a house, or most of a house in the Northern areas of England. It'd buy you a shed in London, two sheds in the South East.

Sree's apparently having a very hard time out of the house - unsure if it was a suicide attempt or what, but he was rushed to hospital on Thursday according to this:

The Sun isn't the most reliable paper but something bad clearly happened.

If it really was a legitimate suicide attempt, he doesn't appear to have done any serious damage.

I've always thought that BB UK seems to favor housemates who are somewhat mentally unstable. Ever since S7 where they had several people with previous issues, it seems like they go out of their way to get mental cases.

There's an article on DSBB about Rodrigo whinging to Sophie about breaking wind. He complains that "it's disrespectful". Everything to that guy is disrespectful. He needs to work on his vocabulary and quit the whinging about everything.

Yeah, I think they mustn't dig too deeply into some hms' backgrounds. That... forgetting his name, the Scottish guy... who they kind of took out for his own good a few years ago, it should have been clear to anyone with a bit of training that he was not equipped to be in the house. Sree I don't know, he is so full of ego that maybe they didn't think about how it would be if he made a fool of himself. I think they really like to have some people really make a fool of themselves, and I guess the public like it too, but it could really backfire if things like this happen.

Bea's right, Freddie does sometimes sound very sleazy with his groans and purrs. At least she told him! I would remind her that he's been in the house eight(?) weeks so it's not surprising he's a bit randy, but I think with Freddie he was randy the day he walked in.

Interesting post from Freddie's friend Ravi about his mannerisms and style of thinking being connected to the severe form of dyslexia he has:

You're thinking of Shahbaz in S7. I rewatched the start of that season recently and he was really scary right before they ejected him.

That is an interesting post from Freddie's friend. It would explain a lot about the way he accepted his treatment when they were all treating him like trash. His responses were never emotional. He just sort of said what he said to Bea, "noted." He doesn't seem to connect criticism with a defensive response. He just makes note of it and goes on. It's really a good way to be. I could use a little of that.

The OfficialBB twitter is teasing that something's happeneing on BBLB, so if anyone's around it might be worth making time to watch.

Rumour has it Isaac (Noirin's ex) is going in. Sigh.

They didn't show him going in, I guess it's later. The live feeds might be interesting tonight but they don't start until 1.05am :-(.

Ouch, now Noirin is saying that what happened between her and Siavash was only a "drunken kiss!" Drunken kiss followed by more drunken and undrunken kisses and a lot of spooning and groping. Got to feel bad for Siavash here.

According to the continuing tweets, Siavash was talking of leaving, Bea's trying to stop him by making him feel better, Marcus is happy (presumably because he knew it all), Lisa is ecstatic.

I don't know how this is going to play into the vote. I've read that Isaac was well liked on the Real World, which might mean people vote out Marcus, particularly if he's gloating. I guess it depends how cruel Noirin is to Siavash too.

Now Noirin's telling Isaac she doesn't even remember the night she kissed Siavash! Argggggg! OK, at least this, if I could vote, would make me pick up the phone and vote her out!!

Does anyone know where Noirin lived when she was on the Real World? Did she live in Ireland or the U.S.?

It was the Real World Sydney, and I think she was having an extended vacation there, from her home in Ireland. I think I read she wanted to go back to Ohio with Isaac and he wasn't keen on that.

Ohh..that's right, Kitt. I forgot. I vaguely remember her coming in towards the end and was shocked that Isaac fell for her after pretty much keeping to himself most of the season. If they never lived in the same state/town, they must have had a long distance relationship, eh?

I love that Bea is explaining what she dislikes about how Freddie follows her and analyzes what people do so much. Maybe, just maybe, if he gets nommed again, the audience won't be so keen on keeping him.

I didn't see RW. Did you like him? Did you like her on there? He seems quite likeable (from the things I've read), which makes the situation all the more awkward. If he was a jerk then it would be easy to just draw the battle lines! I'm feeling so bad for Siavash, I bet he feels very humiliated.

I'm liking Bea a bit less these last couple of days, but I think it's good that at least she's telling Freddie why she's having trouble with him. Better than just leaving him wondering. Love me some Freddie though, he just seems such a sweet guy to me. I'm not saying he's not hard to live with because of his eccentricities, but I think he's probably worth it.

I think the OfficialBB twitter person has gone now. Nothing new since about half past.

Perhaps Bea paid too much attention to what Tom said. He told her that the public would think that she was just latching onto Freddie because he is popular. She might be distancing herself from him because she doesn't want to appear opportunistic. I thought she really liked him. I hope she doesn't disappoint me.

Or it could just be the cigarettes. She complained that he is smoking all hers. I remember when I smoked I hated when someone asked for one because I was afraid I'd run out before I got home.

I might have to eat dinner in front of my computer today. The live feeds come on at 5:05 here and I don't want to miss a minute of them tonight. I have a feeling they won't all be going to bed early tonight.

I have to do some cooking... think I'm going to get that done early so that I can be back online then too! I can't imagine how Siavash is going to feel when his place in Noirin's bed is suddenly full.

Mama and Kitt - please keep us informed during the live feeds tonight! This is one of the few exciting things going on right now and I don't know if I'll be able to find anywhere to watch!
I will really enjoy reading your take on Isaac and everyone's reaction to him :-)
