BBUK returns Sun 8 Oct 2023 (and Celeb BB back in 2024)

I'm enjoying the storyline of the week where the Paranoia Group worried about being picked off one-by-one have been the ones to make the prophecy more likely to become a reality as the week has gone on.
 
Anyone else not like Olivia? Have fallen behind with my BB watching, so I'm not sure if she's still there but I really think she's a pot stirring little attention seeker.

She's probably the person I change my opinion on the most, almost by the episode. If she survives tonight she could do well in the final.
 
Ive caught right up now over the past week or so from Where I left off after episode 2 or 3 in the first week.

I've been skipping Late and Live except for the Eviction interview episodes just so I can catch up a bit quicker, Skimmed a bit of some of the others (might go over a few more now I've caught up) Theyre ok, some funny intro gags ala old BBLB but not quite as engaging as the old school Big Mouth I've been watching through atm with the guests and rowdy audience more on a stricter time limit of half hour ("Hold on Nanny's got a phone call! settle down!") But its had some interesting takes here and there.

On the subject of Will part of his fringe came down on one of the BBLL's which was distracting, then last weeks eviction show the left side was down which threw off the slicked look a little bit I think! Haha make up couldve been onto that between ad breaks? lol.

Anyway going back a bit I think yeah the discussing nominations thing with Yinrun and just now this week with Chanelle and Olivia were pretty vague, But I can also see the other side of it well yeah it can be percieved as speculation and influence a bit even if its pretty vague.

also with BB potentially trying to manufacture drama a little bit with the whole Halloween blow up. At first I was thinking well why not then show them the footage now you've exposed Noky and Trish like that but then again that mightve just been a little too much manipulation on top off all that already.

They brought it back a bit by not telling them about the double until it happened, but also you had The Paul at Yinrun's party thing which was a bit sus. Why did they have it in the house with the others looking overhead and not in the special side room again? Paul mentioned it as if BB made it that way so they could specifically heckle them from the grandstand. hmm.

Anyway theres been a few of them that have yo-yoed a bit in my rankings, Dylan and Paul went and got themselves looking a bit knobbish after both those incidents 'Black on Black Crime' and the Bully thing. It was a bit hard to follow what the original thing with Paul/Noky was about too - something about the Kiss cam thing and him writing Olivia? or his behaviour what it must reflect on being his girlfriend or something along those lines.

Jordan, Henry and Matty is similarly a little bit puzzling at times, like theres moments of soooo whats the actual issue here? I think the three of them getting a bit to in their heads about what their friendship/attraction/relationship boundaries is or isnt and start speaking gibberish trying to sort it out with each other in some scenes lol.

I think Trish is starting to come out as a bit of a dark horse though and looking fairly level headed and good out of some of this Drama along with Noky, whereas Tom/Jenkin/Chanelle/Olivia crowd are starting to get a bit of a dislikable/bitter tangent as we get into the nitty gritty end of the season (which as has been discussed could definitely do with a few more weeks/trimmed numbers trade off to get a little more oompf out of it).

Chanelle rivals some of Yinrun's naive moments with the discussions about how many Moons there are in Earth's sky, and who is Cleopatra.

Atm I think I'd like to see Yinrun/Jordan/Trish in top 3. Will do a bit of a rank in a sec.
 
ok so the sorter thing is fun actually and helps sort it for you haha I had a go:

1. Jordan
2. Trish
3. Yinrun
4. Noky
5. Tom
6. Matty
6. Henry
8. Jenkin
8. Olivia
10. Chanelle
 
Also I've continued to enjoy and find the geographical discussions about the UK interesting as seen through some of the others and particularly through the lense of Yinrun. There was one about Matty talking about the Isle Of Man vs the rest of the UK which I think I had read something about before, Olivia Chanelle and Yinrun talking about differences in Scottish/Welsh accents and theres an Island up north that is kindof isolated off with a few Icelandic residents.

On interesting discussions - the one about the Royals the other day (What If Diana was still around/Meghan Markle) reminded me there was a similar one way back in BB1 about the Royal families' relevance that would be interesting to compare and contrast haha.

Also I was trying to think of what Paul's accent reminds me of and I think i'm getting maybe a bit of Zayn from One Direction? Tom and Noky I think are similar as are Jenkin and Chanelle somewhat. Is Jenkin welsh too did he say at the very start? when they brought the family intruders in the other day his Mum was similar.

And wheres AJ from thats a bit of a particular one too 'Pleeze du nut Sweere' (goes to look at wiki)
 
My money is on Chanelle and Olivia going tonight. I think Jenkin will be saved by the fact that most of his shitty behaviour hasn't been featured in the episodes as much as Olivia's has - like when he was making jokes to the Paranoia Group on the live stream about refusing to let Yinrun have some of his birthday cake.
 
I think Chanelle and Jenkin - Olivia is a real outside in the betting odds to go and not registering on the polls. Trish fans are worried - personally even though I've tired of her in recent days just can't see it happening considering she's survived two arguably tougher evictions.


P.S. As is obligatory nowadays there has been an announcement that they'll be an announcement during the show tonight. Almost certainly to be confirmation of Celebrity Big Brother returning next year, rather than BBUK: Reindeer Games!
 
Watched the first episode, a very diverse cast, when you're not too busy sponsoring war criminals you can sit and take notes ch.7!

Have to say, they need aircon in there because the big guy is literally SWIMMING in sweat :alien:
