Big Brother 8 ARTICLES + COMMENTS Thread! - Page 4

Every night from June 9 to June 17, you can settle down on your sofa to enjoy the best of British entertainment, thanks to ITV1's brilliant new talent show.

It's the morning, so it must be time for a row. Charley?

As the days in the House roll on, there are one or two events clocks could be set by. Ziggy doing press-ups, Nicky running around the garden... Or, the most common occurrence of all - Charley having a row with someone.

This time, her expensive, fluffy boots had gotten a soaking and Seny was in the firing line.

"Did you, or do you know anyone, who put water in my boots?" Charley asked him, "because it's not on."

Seny decided to come clean. "I put a cup in yesterday as a joke," he admitted guiltily, "but there was no water in it."

"They were drenched!" barked Charley. "So it was you! I had to dry them last night. I was fuming."

"I didn't put water in," Seny protested, "that wasn't me. I would never have done that."

No, course not.

"Someone has done it," fumed Charley "and I don't see the funny joke in it at all. I find it evil."

Village People

Day 18, 14:00

Big Brother is putting the new housemates through their disco motions...

Summoned to the Diary Room, new boys Jonathan, Brian, Billi and Liam have been told by Big Brother they must complete a specific task -- form a 'House band' and sing a song.

And the name of the band? The Big Brother Village People.

In the words of a certain bearded antipodean artist; 'Can you tell what it is yet?'

That's right -- the four lads are to perform 1978 dance-floor filler Y.M.C.A.

Brilliant.

Practising in the garden, the boys donned plastic raincoats to keep out the elements while they synchronised their moves. A sight to behold...

They were told they had just an hour to perfect their routine - but after 60 minutes they weren't exactly looking like they'd come from Michael Flatley's school of dancing.

There were love revelations galore in the House today, when Ziggy expressed a strange wish to Gerry: "I'd like to see you get it on with Seny," the hunk admitted.

But Gerry quickly quashed his hopes. "We don't fancy each other," he told the blond heartthrob firmly.

"You do," Ziggy argued. "You kissed."

"You kissed Carole's a***," Chanelle reminded him, laughing, "that doesn't mean anything!"

"And we'd had a couple of beers," Gerry protested, presumably referring to Seny and not Carole, "so I was a little bit tipsy...but his body doesn't do it for me."

"Seny's a very funny guy though," Ziggy pointed out.

"Yeah," Gerry conceded, "but sometimes I like guys that are quieter. He can be a pain in the a***."

"Oh yeah, but he's funny..." the hunk repeated, clearly taken with Seny's comic side.

"And we need that," Gerry agreed, "but as a couple, it would never work. Seny needs a guy who will be able to take a step back and let him be the centre of attention."

"Hmm," Ziggy sighed, clearly disappointed that his matchmaking had failed.

Never mind, Zig, at least you tried...

No Zzzzziggy

Day 16, 05:45

Restless Ziggy can't get no sleep...

While Gerry and Seny continued to enjoy the luxury of a double bed, Ziggy endured a restless night sharing the single bed with his love interest Chanelle.

Repeatedly sitting up to gather his thoughts and tossing and turning like he was having a bad nightmare, the one half of 'Chiggy' didn't make things easy for his companion. Chanelle was forced to reposition herself on a number of occasions just to stay on the bed.

Whatever could be bothering him?

Pus-sy Galore

Day 15, 22:03

Spot which housemate is in a tight squeeze...

Chanelle spent a lot of time getting tactile with Seny today - but it was only to pop the charity worker's pimples. The Posh lookalike used a plastic 'spot squeezer' to remove the gunk from Seny blemishes, as their fellow housemates looked on.

"Spot squeezers are disgusting," Laura exclaimed as she watched the pair.

Chanelle then popped a particularly stubborn blackhead, sighing in satisfaction as the pus oozed out. "It's so bloody good," she sighed.

"Are you sure there's nothing in that one?" Charley asked, indicating another spot.

"I've tried getting the rest of it out," Chanelle shrugged.

"There isn't anything there," Ziggy announced. "It's part of his face," he added cruelly.

"Chanelle, do you like doing that?" Shabnam barked. "Can you do my one?"

But Chanelle chose to ignore the make-up fan.

"That's so wrong, really wrong," Ziggy groaned. "I think I'm gonna be sick."

"I don't think you should burst spots, anyway," Laura frowned.

"All I'm doing is squeezing the ones that are there," Chanelle protested. "I love it, it's ace." And she proceeded to squeeze another offending whitehead.

Easy does zit...

Amanda For Billi?

Day 23, 15:16

Does Amanda fancy Billi? It's the question on everyone's lips...

Amanda was teased this afternoon by Liam and Nicky, after she recounted a story about hitting Billi on the head in her sleep.

"How cringy is this?" the twin asked the pair. "Billi slept next to me last night and I kept forgetting and doing this in his hair!" She mimed her sleep stroking with her fingers, and squealed.

"He probably thinks you fancy him now," Nicky told her.

Liam joined in, "Do you fancy Billi?"

"No!" Amanda replied indignantly.

"Are you sure?" Liam laughed, pointing at Amanda. "That's the 'look of fancy', man!"

"I don't, I promise," Amanda giggled, as Nicky hugged her. "I promise on my life I don't! You're so funny! Guys, just... you two!"

"Bet he thinks you love him and want to kiss him," Liam joked.

"I don't!" the twin protested. "He's good looking, but I don't fancy him."

"Liar!" Nicky laughed.

"Say it," Liam told her. "Promise, promise you don't?"

"Promise, promise I don't," Amanda repeated.

"Fancy him..." Liam finished.

"Fancy him," the blonde responded.

"Oh, I dunno, I think she's broken her promise, promise there, like!" Liam chuckled.

We've a feeling we haven't heard the last of this one!

Liam's Lucky Day

Day 22, 21:58

Liam has just won 100,000!

Liam has won the 100,000 in the Diary Room.

This week's three nominated housemates, Carole, Seny and Jonathan, were told to go to the Diary Room where they had just one minute to decide who they thought most deserved the 100,000.

Big Brother explained that because they had been nominated for eviction they were exempt from winning the money.

"Ziggy," Carole said without a second's thought.

"Amanda," suggested Jonathan.

"Laura," suggested Seny .

After all the debate sixty seconds will allow, the trio settled upon Liam, gave Big brother their verdict, and were then told to leave the Diary Room.

While the housemates think Liam has been given the whole Big Brother prize fund, what they don't know is that the winner of Big Brother will still receive the prize money that is rightfully theirs.

Stay tuned for all the housemates' reactions.

Especially Liam's.

Wags and Riches

Day 22, 22:03

Liam cries and Laura thinks she should have won the cash...

Tonight Carole, Seny and Jonathan decided Liam was the housemate most deserving of the 100,000 prize money.

Carole announced their decision to the group and Liam promptly burst into tears.

"I do appreciate it," Liam said between sobs. "Cheers."

As controversy raged about the night's events, Nicky joined Liam in the kitchen area. Well away from the arguments, they prepared food together for tonight's meal.

"I'm proper annoyed," Liam told Nicky. "I didn't want to cry there. I said to my father there'll be none of that."

"Don't be silly," comforted an understanding Nicky.

Meanwhile the others bickered about the result in the living room.

"I haven't even got a washing machine in my house!" protested an angry Laura, putting forward her case for the cash.

"He deserves it," insisted Ziggy. "He does."

"It's part of the game show innit?" shouted Charley.

That's right Charley, and quite a lucrative part at that.

Why Liam?

Day 22, 22:46

Ziggy and Brian approve the decision to make Liam a rich man...

Ziggy and Brian have been discussing why Liam deserved to win the 100,000.

"He's a good boy," said Ziggy. "Some people just have that way about them. Straight down the line. Very, very cool."

"I feel for Liam," said Brian. "People might be thinking he's trying to lay it on but he's not."

"No-one thinks that," said Ziggy. "Everyone's very lucky - the situation that we're in. It's a long way to go. This could be good on him or bad on him... but he's a big boy. Whatever happens he'll know what he's doing."

"It's a strange position to be in," Brian mused.

Going on to contemplate the paranoia of the nomination process the two guys heard an argument from elsewhere in the House.

"I want a cold beer," laughed Brian.

"That's what I want," agreed Ziggy.

"I was homesick last night," confessed Brian. "I went into the Diary Room and bawled my eyes out. I'm so embarrassed."

"I did that," reassured Ziggy. "The first day I got here I lost it."

"I was thinking so many things..." Brian started.

"Stop mate," Ziggy told him. "If you ever want anyone to talk to about it, I'll talk about it with you. It's not even an issue."

Who cares about a hundred grand, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
