I'm really surprised with the reasons housemates are giving for nominations, mainly focusing on strategy. I never thought I'd say this but I agree with Lisa's nomination of Cat, I was feeling the second hand embarrassment when she was dancing in the fish bowl. Hopefully next week BB gives the HOH a different power that what he's given to both Sam and Lawson.
There's a first time for everything. I'll just point out that Latino/Latin American are 2 different things. Latino is a yank demo label invented to categorise Spanish-speaking citizens (predominantly Mexicans) living in the US for their own demographic surveys and what-not.I have Brazilian in me and that side of my family don't consider themselves Latino at all- different culture, different language, brazil is of Portuguese heritage.
.....but lisa is better looking than Cat? Why would she be jealous of her looks?I would say Lisa is definitely jealous of Cat (same age, hotter, smarter.. A midwife not a stripper... Strip club manager.. boobs stay where they're supposed to) and Skye because of the younger age, relatively pretty and got to snog Jake some more.
Telling the intruder "oh um... What's his name? I keep forgetting it.. Oh! Um, Jake.. Yeah I don't have much to do with him"
Bull.shyet.
I will admit completely, that I don't know enough about my brazilian culture (yeah yeah I know). A lot of my relatives who are 100% Brazilian though, also have many relatives in America, so it would make sense that they don't want to be mixed up with latin American because of said reasons.There's a first time for everything.

Whilst Latin American is a regional/cultural label primarily used to refer to people who live in non-English speaking countries all over North, Central and South America. Like I've said Brazilians that I've met, none of them have expressed any concerns/dislike about being referred as such. They prefer Brasilero obviously, but have no issues with being consider Lat Am either.
Leo (aka Ryan) chose Aisha when asked by BB who he would like after looking at the pics of Housemates...yet BB sent in Lisa
It's a conspiracy!
I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned in this forum, because I wasn't around last night.
But apparently Sandra and Leo know each other. They worked at the same place together.
Other than the diphthong in about (i.e. aboot, that's the only dead give away I'm aware of) are there any significant discernible differences between American and Canadian accents?

Maybe because she knows she can beat her at the end; but maybe because, like Jale in BBUK this year, she wants to hang with the 'cheerleader.'WHY ARE YOU ALIGNING WITH LISA, PRISUS? WHY?
I couldn't discern much of a difference in accents when I was over there, but I found if they were actually nice than they were Canadian more often than not.

Maybe it just a case of misunderstood accentBB said you may not get the person you picked. Thanks to @Mrs Butterface for telling me this.
No conspiracy
Haha!I caught up on this ep last night, and after reading some of the forum hate for it, I was expecting the worst ep ever!
I am not sure if it is the exhaustion from all the work I am doing lately, or the 6 pre dinner drinks, but I loved it. My partner who is easily the biggest BB hater of all time, laughed out loud while pretending not to watch it.
I am absolutely loving this series! And that hot Canadian is like the cherry on top of the sundae for me!
So haters, turn those frowns upside down and plug yourselves into a joy socket, or just turn the show off, because to moan in the daily threads, day after day, expressing how the show is rubbish makes as much sense as continuing to eat a shit sandwich while complaining after every bite it tastes like fucking shit! Put the sandwich down if you don't like it!!!!!
Working!!Oh @Trala luv where have u been??? I cant cope when you're not around on the forum at night time...![]()
