🇬🇧 BB/CBB UK - Rewatch discussions

Afflllate said:
^I saw some article that they're officially resting CBB this year and maybe returning 'Spring 2027' But my crazy idea would've been to have half the cast of CBB25 coinciding with the 25th Anniversary of the first CBBUK in March be like a presenter squad (if they could get them) like Davina, Dermot, Emma, George Lamb, AJ & Will etc; and have maybe Vanessa Feltz host with Rylan or something that would be funny. And the rest some random celebs.

Honestly I think ITV jumped the gun with brining CBB back and should have waited until they worked out the obvious kinks in the civilian series.

As for what I picked up for the TikTok goes back to what I was saying pre BBAU… That they should cast more millennials. I really don’t think we’ve aged like other generations have. I mean I was born in ‘84 but mentally I’m still somewhere in my late 20’s only with the wisdom I thought I had when I was actually that age. For as much as a lot of our lives have calmed down I guarantee after a few drinks we could still kick off like we would have in the 2000’s.
 
For as much as I want to celebrate this series I can’t help but think it’s such a shame that a year later it all came tumbling down and nearly 20 years later they still haven’t fully recovered.

Why the core concept behind this era weren’t used as a roadmap for ITV’s revival is beyond me. Not saying they needed to adapt “Evil BB” but restoring the aspect of the show having a clear creative direction and purpose. For me the genius of this era will always be that each series seemed to build on the successful ideas of the last and the ideas were at least implemented with some sort of purpose.

CBBUK13 Week 2
  • Saturday: Sam gets a secret task to ask one of the housemates to tell them she fancies them. She asks Ollie to the treehouse asking him who he fancies and he genuinely says her and She says it back. 2nd part is losing her temper with someone where she creates a bit of a thing between Jasmine and Casey in the living area over Casey talking about Sam and Jasmine or something. She wins everyone their photos from home which makes Dappy apologise to Luisa for what he was saying about her Daughter being ashamed of her during their argument.
  • Next up today's Task is a Kids room (Jim, Casey, Linda, Dappy and Liz) and an Adults only room (Lee, Jasmine, Ollie, Luisa, Sam and Lionel) they each do ‘entertainment’ activities such as playing games with the Mr Monkey mascot, and in the other room telling scary story in the dark and pole dancing. They each win some food drinks and music later. Later Jim gets the hump about wanting to go to bed but not wanting to be woken up by the girls carrying on and giggling, also BB puts on Katy Perry’s Roar for the housemates to dance to. Later Jasmine comes out to try and talk to Jim but he’s still in a bit of a huff.

  • Sunday: Jim and Lionel wake up and still grumpy over Jasmine and Luisa’s noise. Mini task for a feast its the Knights Team (Led by Lionel with Luisa, Ollie, Casey, Liz, Linda) Vs the ‘Nimmerhammers’, a goblins team (Led by Dappy, with Lee, Jasmine, Jim, Sam? etc.) Round 1 is first to lose one of their sausage tail Dappy Vs Luisa being chased by the ‘BB Beast’ (a Dog) loses and its Dappy one of his fell off. Liz is concerned whether the dog was happy or not.
  • Round 2 each team competed to make the most spectacular potion volcano. Knights win again. Final Round is Casey Vs Lee in a Joust off they must pick the correct joust pusher that the other is standing behind to push them off. Lee gets Casey twice using up her free passes from Knights winning the previous rounds, then Casey knocks Lee off to win the Knights group the feast.
  • Next is face to face nominations. Liz upsets Jasmine with a nomination of harming herself with how beautiful she is, whilst Lee changes his vote from Sam (for an inappropriate reason that she didn’t like the sexy games they were playing in the task?) to Jim. Its Liz 8, Jim 7, Jasmine 3 and Luisa 2 up for the next eviction Liz apologises to Jasmine, Lionel and Jim make up after Jim was taken aback by Lionel nominating him.

  • Monday: New Shopping Task ‘The Democracy’ with a big voting apparatus in the living area, when the siren sounds all housemates must vote on something but not discuss their choices. Jim is told in secret only his vote counts and not to let on to pass the task. In first vote only he chose the can of slop instead of getting curry to eat until further notice. He voted Linda the most boring getting paint poured over her then having to watch it dry, Lee for a fake ‘Killer Nomination’, Giving up makeup, etc.
  • Luisa and Lionel are voted as most annoying who have to spend the night in an ‘annoying room’ with alarm clocks, a phone that rings with annoying menus, (Lionel tells the voice later to go f yourself - LOL), a lopsided table and stick man shaped mattresses. Theres also a tangled chain in the corner that has the key for the luxury bed cage and chocs/champagne but when unravelled it doesn’t quite reach, so Luisa climbs over the top to retrieve them. Lee and Jasmine are acting all flirty around the house again, and Jim tries to plant the idea that the task is weird.

  • Tuesday: The task is revealed to the house but they vote Jim as the housemate who was in control so they fail. On top of this Luisa and Jasmine kept some makeup in a stash that they were meant to give all of it up to BB for the task so BB will not be returning it until further notice, as well as Luisa pinching the box of chocolates and Champagne gets them a hot water ban and also gets Lionel arguing with Luisa when she tries to tell him its his fault because he asked her to, until Jim, Lee and Dappy separate them, but they settle it again later.

  • Wednesday: Mini task is a boxing themed one introduced by Evander on the screen. First its an outside warm up with exercise equipment and a punch strength machine. Then in a Red and Blue Team, the rest of the team must direct their blindfolded housemate to knock over the correct face pad to questions about who said what first. Blue Team wins.
  • The Hot water and makeup punishment is over. Next in the Eviction, Jim is saved first whilst Jasmine is evicted. She gets to choose two housemates to be safe from Friday’s eviction whilst the rest will be nominated, and picks Casey and Linda strangely because she wants the next one out of the rest to party with her on the outside. Lee is a bit shocked at Jasmine going and starts telling the others the public are playing games and He thinks Casey is as well, saying she was saying things to him like ‘why didn’t you just go along with it?’(The Showmance) when they were fake evicted.
  • This gets back to Casey through Luisa and Linda and she’s a bit upset at Lee trying to put it on her. Meanwhile Jim and Linda start at each other again when Linda takes a shot at Jim asking Luisa about not having a man in her life, and he tells Luisa to ask Linda about ‘what happened in Frank Carson’s dressing room’. This really offends Linda as it is clarified by her and on BOTS that its about the court case her late husband went through where he was accused of stealing money in the room in the 90’s, and so she has another go at Jim before refusing to speak to him for the night.

  • Thursday: Linda and Casey are still a bit moody about the previous night. Jim tries apologising to Linda. Liz gets a personal task with Dappy as an assistant to interview the housemates and write an article about the house to read out to them. Lee ends up in a mood, he reckons Casey lied to Liz and Dappy telling them that she and Lee kissed in the Bolt Hole, and he’s also a bit annoyed with Dappy telling Liz what Lee told him about Casey, and making it a bigger deal. Luisa later tells him to chill and just get on with it, He cant know how he or Casey are being perceived on the outside.
  • As a follow up to Dappy spouting off his intelligence during the argument with Luisa, BB sets the both of them a diary room IQ test. Luisa scores 69% whilst Dappy only 6%. Later on he’s in the Diary rom threatening to walk if its shown because he cant have himself looking dumb in-front of his fans. LOL. But agreeing to sleep on it.

  • Friday: Luisa, Ollie and Lee cheer up Dappy to stay with some baking some r-rated shaped bread (also talking about lactating and Lee reckons he can do it too when Luisa shows everyone). Mini task: Ollie Vs Lee in a Superfan obstacle course to get past security, scream for the Celeb with their face on top of the Treehouse Mansion.
  • Lee wins and wins a lunch with a superfan But its really the other housemates watching on and feeding the actress questions through an earpiece. Lionel almost blows it when he comes back but they win some food for it. Eviction Jim & Sam, Ollie & Dappy saved first, Down to Lee, Luisa, Lionel or Liz, with Lionel Evicted and He does a handkerchief and cane magic trick on exit. Afterward the housemates get a bit rowdy especially Dappy and Luisa with a Lord Lionel Blair song, and piss off Jim trying to get to bed.

  • BOTS: Guests this week included dance psych Peter Lovatt on again, Lionel’s Son Matt, Lauren Harries, Denise Welch on with Dexter Koh and Will Best, and Jasmine & Lionel being a bit prickly with each other about some of Lionels comments about her being loud and the love triangle and stuff during BOTP but then making up, among others.
 
CBBUK13 Week 3
  • Saturday: Jim starts tapping things and making noise in the morning to annoy Luisa. Mini task Talent show ‘In The Limelight’ judged by Jim, Linda and Luisa. Dappy sings his song ‘No Regrets’, Lee writes a song on Guitar, Casey does a comedy routine about being a model, Liz critiques the housemates Fashion, and Sam and Ollie do a TOWIE/MIC scene with surprise props and end up winning scoring two 10’s and a 9.
  • I also noticed the bit on BOTS during Iain Lee’s camera run segment that was brought up in the old thread at the time, of one of the crew members assisting by holding up the impromptu cue cards for Ollie and Sam or something. Afterwards the housemates get snacks and music (I feel like Dancing by the Nolans, All Rise by Blue and Whitney I wanna dance with somebody were played). Jim walks in and out not really interested. Later Luisa pranks Dappy putting earrings as nipples inside her top and Jim asks Casey if she still fancies Lee as they are drunk and seem to be fooling around with each other.

  • Sunday: Luisa and Jim have a bit of a back and forth over the topic of a woman doing her husband’s ironing for him. Jim tells Casey on a walk around the garden his experience in the last year being arrested (apparently it was as he was about to go on CBB11, He was arrested as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation into the Jimmy Saville stuff).
  • Luisa gets a secret task (that isn’t a secret task, the others must get her to fail). She has to try and get: Linda to compliment her, Liz to Laugh, Jim to disagree with her and Dappy to rap with her, but they all refuse, Liz putting on quite the performance in the bathtub talking about being depressed and being down on herself as Luisa walks in preparing to tell her a joke or something. The house wins a roast dinner for passing during which Luisa and Jim have another bit of an actual disagreement as Luisa cannot understand who would be voting to keep Jim in.
  • Nominations are Liz 7, Jim 6 Sam 2. Along the announcement the housemates were shown snippets of each nomination reason and some of them weren’t happy that Sam was nommed due to some ‘tactical’ reasons by Jim and Liz who wanted her up so they could be more likely to be voted out (or so they think), and and Liz gets a bit defensive in the discussion of the validity of playing the game/tactical voting.

  • Monday: Next Shopping Task - Arctic Explorers and Huskies. Luisa, Dappy, Casey and Lee are the Huskies, rest are Explorers and the garden has been blanketed in snow. They must pull the sleds around a circle or get chained up when the alarm sounds and assemble to watch the Polar bear statue.
  • They also do some tasks to win extra seconds for the final of the task like Linda answers questions in the Small task room with the Huskies drinking the answer of icy cold drinks, and Fishing where the huskies must remove fish from the line pulled out of the ice hole with teeth and gets weighed enough to scale to the pass side at the end. They win both.

  • The actual task though is another secret one where the explorers think the Huskies are sent off to sleep in the ‘Kennel’ but it’s actually a luxury Bar called Mutts Hut where they watch the others. Jim cooks but refuses to eat until the Huskies come out later and tell him he shouldn’t protest on their behalf. Linda meanwhile thinks he’s just trying to suck up to everybody.
  • Whilst the Huskies were in the room the others were given some liqueur shake things which causes another argument between Jim and Linda later on in front of the Huskies where she tries to call him out for saying that he didn’t drink any to show the rest up or something, to which he brings out the untouched ones and they fall over in the snow.

  • Tuesday: Linda volunteers to come do an eating task in the Diary room to win the Huskies a nice breakfast (although they are already getting one). Casey and Lee prank Luisa asking about Jasmine by fake arguing. The Huskies ask the others some ‘killer questions’ in Diary room and watch their responses. Afterward they complete what they think is the final task by reaching North Pole and smashing groceries out of the frozen ‘Ice Cubes’ in a minute. Afterward the real task is revealed and they passed.
  • Dappy & Luisa get punished for noms talk to clean whilst wearing a two in one suit together. Lee talks to Liz about his comments about 9/11 and care for animals being taken out of proportion, Ollie and Sam discuss their friendship and where they are at with each other, Luisa talks to Lee about him getting back into bed with Casey and he tells her Casey’s been saying stuff like she’s after him again kinda thing?

  • Wednesday: Ollie and Sam get a ‘get off the fence’ task by presenting their opinions on the Casey/Lee, Jim/Linda and Jim/Luisa situations in front of the others, as well as their own thing between them. Ollie hates doing it but they finish and win some treats for the both of them in the mansion treehouse. Lee is a bit annoyed again that he’s being made to look bad yet again and Casey has been referring to it as FWB (as a a joke she later says).
  • After Liz is evicted, another round of face to face noms takes place. Luisa gets her right to vote rescinded as she tried to swap her envelope last minute before nominating last. Jim Linda, Oliie, Luisa and Lee Up. Dappy feels bad about Nominating Linda and Casey nominating him and tries to make up with them.

  • Meanwhile Ollie was nominated by Linda that he should voice his opinion, so he feels the need to now stand up for himself and gathers the group to explain that he hasn’t needed to confront anyone thus far and also didn’t defend Lee during the off the fence task before because he shares a bed with Casey and didn’t want to come across two faced and make it awkward kinda thing.
  • Afterwards though Linda and Luisa are discussing how Ollie’s stunt felt a bit performative, and Luisa starts taking the piss by singing ‘It’s all about Ollie’ which he overhears from outside and confronts her about saying its a bit unfair to say it was like he was telling everyone he got nominated because he’s so fabulous or something. He goes back outside and vents to Casey and Jim.

  • Thursday: Linda makes up with Dappy and Ollie, Dappy doesn’t talk to Luisa all day until later and they make up about Luisa saying he looked sexist next to Jim Davidson or something. Nominees give speeches on why they should stay and smears about another nominee. Ollie’s references Luisa’s slight the previous night right after she just apologised to him, so they have another chat about it that Ollie shouldn’t hold back his opinion. Lee and Casey get flirty again.

  • Friday: Mini task is a Big Camera in the living area, BB calls all housemates for a Selfie, then one by one to bring someone or a few for different categories. Afterwards Jim gets a mini task to interview them all in the Mansion Treehouse to give a speech on the mood of the house. Linda refuses to take part.
  • Eviction: Jim and Ollie saved first. Linda is Evicted. Afterwards Casey and Lee have been cuddling up all day and It seems everyone notices that Lee seems to be back to Casey now. They look to be having sus water running bathroom visits and some doona dancing at lights off?

  • BOTS: They had a couple random VTs this week, from Blue’s Antony holding auditions for a celeb to cover for Lee whilst in the house, Paul Danan and Lionel doing some weird acting class skit, and a visit to Ollie’s house.
  • I also noticed during Linda’s best bits package it looks like they used the Jail for Lee and Jasmine? at some point but it didn’t make the daily show highlights.
  • In the nominees quiz VT an ‘Ocean Quahog’ is apparently a clam. Some of the guests included Colleen Nolan, Louie Spence, Gina Rio (BB14), John McCririck, Matt Johnson, Eamonn Holmes, Charlie Sloth etc.
