Big Brother 2

Big Brother 2Broadcast daily on Channel 4 and E4 July 28th :

Well after 64 days it’s all over. Brian won with around 4.2 million votes.Helen came second with around 2.6 million votes, and Dean came third with269,000 votes, but no percentages were given for any of them so you’ll have towork those out for yourself.

On here, 129 people voted in the last week with Helen getting 65% of the votes,Brian 23%, Dean 2% and Elizabeth 9%

Now, who’s auditioning for BB3?

July 27th :

Tonight is the grand final, but last night, to their surprise, anotherhousemate was evicted – Elizabeth, given that she only received 2% of thevotes to win the gameshow, although she received 9% on here.

So now, just pick one of the three remaining: Helen, Brian or Dean.

I expect Dean will come third, Brian second and Helen will win.

July 21st :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Helen or Paul out.On here, Paul took four times as many votes as Helen with 80% to her 20%,closely mirroring the real world where he got 84% of the vote.

When he got out, Paul was given Helen’s mobile phone number so he can callher in a week’s time.

Now you have to vote for who should WIN Big Brother 2001. Polls close Friday27th July.

Brian is the favourite with Helen second. The person with the least votesby Thursday will be evicted on that evening, leaving the remaining threeto carry on battling it out for the top three slots.

I expect Elizabeth will walk on Thursday. On Friday, Dean will come third,but it’s still too close a call, IMHO, for first place.

July 18th :

For the final time there are again two people up for eviction, and it’sPaul and Helen. Who will go, and will they finally shag eachother senseless before then?

The personal choices by each housemate are as follows. I won’t give thereasons yet again as they were all variations on a theme of “don’t get on withthem as well as the others” and “I don’t gel with him/her”.

• Brian: Paul, Helen
• Dean: Paul, Helen
• Elizabeth: Paul, Helen (again in both cases)
• Helen: Elizabeth, Dean
• Paul: Brian, Elizabeth

So Paul and Helen each have 3 votes, Elizabeth has 2 and Brian and Dean eachhave one.

July 14th :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Helen or Josh out.In the DVDfever world, Helen scored 66% of the eviction vote,but in reality Josh was evicted with 84% to Helen’s 16%, so close to the86/14 split between Stuart and Paul four weeks ago.

As ever, the evictee will be appearing all week on E4’s Big Brother’sLittle Brother from Sunday to Thursday at 7pm each night.

I’m starting to warm to Dermot O’Leary’s humour and last week after Paul toldHelen over their candlelit dinner that he’s “lived his adult life like aninternational pop star”, Dermot replied, “Who? Limahl?! At a push,Tony Hadley!”.

July 11th :

This week there are two people up for eviction again, but this time Paul hasescaped the vote. Those in the frame are Helen and Josh,but who will be given the boot on Friday July 13th? (YES! Friday 13th!!!)

The personal choices by each housemate are as follows. I won’t give thereasons yet again as they were all variations on a theme of “don’t get on withthem as well as the others” and “I don’t gel with him/her”.

Paul found Josh had a “poncy, slimy side to him” though.

• Brian: Paul, Josh
• Dean: Helen, Josh
• Elizabeth: Paul, Helen (again in both cases)
• Helen: Josh, Dean
• Josh: Brian, Helen
• Paul: Brian, Josh

So Josh has 4 votes, Helen has 3, Brian and Paul have two, Dean has oneand Elizabeth received no nominations.

July 8th :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Paul or Amma out.In the DVDfever world, Paul scored 57% of the eviction vote,but in reality Amma was evicted with 64% to Paul’s 36%.

As ever, the evictee will be appearing all week on E4’s Big Brother’sLittle Brother from Sunday to Thursday at 7pm each night.

July 4th :

This week there are two people up for eviction again – Paul and Amma,but who will be given the boot on Friday July 6th?

The personal choices by each housemate are as follows. I won’t give thereasons again as they were all variations on a theme of “don’t get on with themas well as the others”, despite being asked to give ‘full and frank answers’.

The only slight differences though was that Amma voted Josh because he canbe too “serious” and Paul voted Elizabeth because she had a go at him forsaying the type of girl he likes. Paul and Amma also voted each other despiteappearing to get on earlier in the day after their bust-up at the weekend whenPaul started becoming a bit of a control freak.

• Amma: Paul, Josh
• Brian: Paul, Amma
• Dean: Paul, Amma
• Elizabeth: Paul, Helen
• Helen: Josh, Dean
• Josh: Amma, Brian
• Paul: Amma, Elizabeth

So Paul and Amma got 4 nominations each, Josh had 2 and the rest had oneeach.

June 30th :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Paul or Bubble and theresult was similar to that on TV.

Bubble was evicted in both cases and there was just a few percent in it eitherway. The official %age was 53% against Bubble and the DVDfever%age was 57%.

It’ll be interesting to see him interviewed on Big Brother’s Little Brotherfrom Sunday to Thursday this coming week (E4, 7pm).

June 27th :

This week there are two people up for eviction again – Paul and Bubble,but who will be given the boot on Friday June 29th?

The personal choices by each housemate are as follows. I won’t give thereasons as almost everyone gave the lame “don’t get on with them”-type ofanswer.

• Amma: Paul, Dean
• Brian: Paul, Amma
• Bubble: Paul, Josh
• Dean: Paul, Helen
• Elizabeth: Paul, Brian
• Helen: Bubble, Brian
• Josh: Paul, Bubble
• Paul: Amma, Bubble

So Paul got 6 nominations, Bubble got 3, Amma and Brian got 2 each,Dean, Helen and Josh got none, and Elizabeth none, which I think makes herthe only person NOT to ever get a nomination, rather like Nasty Nick last year!

June 23rd :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Paul or Narinder outand the result was quite surprising.

In total, 154 people voted with 152 aiming for Paul! Perhaps everyone wantedthe boring one out and to keep the annoying one in.

Alas, in reality on Friday, Narinder was evicted with 62% of the publicvote.

There is now just eight people left in there. I expect Amma will be evictednext Friday given that she keeps nicking food in the middle of the night.

By the way, it was funny to see friends and relatives of Narinder and Paulon Big Brother’s Little Brother on Thursday night last week. Narinder’ssister was blaming PMT on her recent behaviour in the house, claiming that insome circumstances it has meant some people had been allowed to murder people.

Presenter Dermot O’Dimwit stepped in saying, “Well, no-one’s everbeen ALLOWED to murder anyone”, after which she responded backing up herstatement saying that people had been left off due to PMT. Nervously, Dermotstared in disbelief, then quickly disassociated himself from the conversation,turned to Paul’s female representative, Nicola, took a sharp intake of breath and…“Nicola…”

June 19th :

This week there are two people up for eviction – Paul and Narinder,but who will be given the boot on Friday June 22nd?

The personal choices and reasons given by each housemate are as follows :

• Amma: Paul (again) (a bit excitable)and Narinder (selfish, can’t take what she gives out)
• Brian: Paul (attitude has changed) and Amma (debates a lot – leads to arguments and affects the group)
• Bubble: Josh (doesn’t say ‘please’ and ‘thankyou’)Narinder (had a pop at me the other day, said I was a shit-stirrer)
• Dean: Narinder (again) (I get on with her least – again)and Paul (again) (same reason)
• Elizabeth: Paul (again) (the person I least connect with)and Narinder (still has set rules. causes shouting)
• Helen: Brian (seen a different side to him I don’t like)and Narinder (again) (I get on with her the least)
• Josh: Narinder (causes friction in the group. arguments stem from her)and Bubble (sleeps too much, contributes too little)
• Narinder: Bubble (very thin line between being serious and funny. quite scary when he takes a fit and says he’s joking)and Amma (has to disagree with everything. eats raw mint and sits in an orange blanket constantly)
• Paul: Brian (concerned about his badly-handled issues with Josh, has a spoilt side to him)Bubble (again) (in this for different reasons to myself. he would go out tomorrow if he knew he wouldn’t win)

June 16th :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Paul or Stuart out,or rather just Stuart since I got the one of the two votes in for boring Paul.

In total, 41 people voted with 39 aiming for Stuart. Unlike each previousweek when most people voted for Helen and previously Natasha, then Anne,then Josh (as the new entrant), it’s always the real winner who has goneagainst the voting process on here.

In reality last night, Stuart was evicted with 86% of the public vote.

Well I hope you’re all happy since all the dullards are being left in,with the exception of Brian, Narinder and Helen, which will make forincreasingly boring weeks.

June 12th :

This week there are two people up for eviction – Paul and Stuart,but who will be given the boot on Friday June 15th? Either way, it can’tinclude new boy Josh, nor can he vote for anyone in his first week.

The personal choices and reasons given by each housemate are as follows :

• Amma: Paul (again) (He’s a lovely bloke, but some of the things he does annoysme and brings out my worst points) and Stuart (verrry competitive and has asmug streak)
• Brian: Helen (she can be immature) and Elizabeth (the only person I haven’t got to know this week)
• Bubble: Paul (again) (don’t get on with him as well as others)Helen (in the long run she could lose a task because she doesn’t believe it)
• Dean: Narinder (again) (I get on with her least)and Paul (same reason)
• Elizabeth: Paul (not on the same wavelength and he spits a lot)and Stuart (he has an agressive, competitive edge which spills over and is not a joke)
• Helen: Narinder (again) (we don’t gel) quite shocked the way he got in a mood last night and Bubble (again) (he shoutsa lot and it scares me even though he’s joking)
• Narinder: Helen (again) (tried to give her the benefit of the doubtbut she threw it all back in my face on Saturday with wild accusations)and Stuart (want to get rid of the boring blokes starting with him and his main focus is getting a tan)
• Paul: Amma (again) (she thinks she knows more than she does)Bubble (if I stayed he could end up annoying me)
• Stuart: Amma (she’s not participating in the group activities norpulling her weight in the house) andNarinder (for one of the challenges, she let someone else take the blamefor the failure)

June 9th :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week to vote Helen or Penny out.

In total, 76 people voted with 63 aiming for Helen and just 13 for Penny,but like the voting-in poll where Josh came third, the outcome is completelythe opposite of what really happened, as Penny was actually evictedwith 58% of the vote, meaning it was quite a close call.

June 2nd :

Thanks to all those who voted over the past week. Of the potential evictees21 people voted and the results were :

• Bubble (7)
• Brian (5)
• Penny (4)
• Narinder (2)
• Stuart (2)
• Amma (1)
• No votes for Paul, Helen, Dean or Elizabeth

Now you can vote, as shown below for the person you want evicted on FridayJune 8th, going by the votes cast in the house. Helen and Pennyare up for eviction this week.

The personal choices and reasons given by each housemate are as follows :

• Amma: Paul (I don’t think he’s always honest with himself, nor everyoneelse, and he tries too hard) and Penny (talks to people like we’re children,it’s patronising and irritating)
• Brian: Stuart (he’s changed and is more competitive – might cause a few arguments) and Helen (again) (requires a lot of reassuring)
• Bubble: Paul (haven’t really got on with him to the extent where hemakes me laugh, and also an incident this week sowed the seeds of doubt in mymind) and Penny (she’s a great girl but can be overpowering and teacher-ish,and dominates a lot of things, and put some of my photos on the wall which I knowshe did for the right reasons but I didn’t want them on the wall)
• Dean: Narinder (I’ve connected with her least than the others in thehouse and Penny (I believe she causes friction amongst some of the other housemates)
• Elizabeth: Penny (not a good contributor or influence on the group)and Helen (there’ll be more sun in Wales for her(!) )
• Helen: Bubble (quite shocked the way he got in a mood last night andI saw a side of him I didn’t like) and Narinder (I don’t gel so much withher as with the other girls)
• Narinder: Helen (she can be very offensive, didn’t put 100% into thetask and gives me constant hackey looks) and Bubble (likes the sound ofhis own voice too much and if I try to contribute to a conversation he ignores it)
• Paul: Amma (she didn’t play as a team player during the first task)Helen (slightly up herself, has made a couple of out-of-order commentssuch as when giving Elizabeth a funny look when Dean said he’d like to sleepwith her)
• Penny: Helen (I find her quite tactless and she offends pepplewithout realising it) and Amma (quite selfish and gets involved only in things that she likes to do)
• Stuart: Penny (she mothers and smothers the group – “and no doubt the’fuck you, arsehole’ comment too?” – DVDfever Ed) andNarinder (she started off well, but doesn’t contribute to the group now)

As for the new entrant, the winner was Josh. Strangely, Channel 4 didn’t tellus the percentages or how many people rang up. Perhaps not many did? Ididn’t since it’s a waste of money and at least my voting system is free. 🙂

The result of the vote on here for who should enter was :

• Natasha (11 votes)
• Anne (8)
• Josh (3)

May 27th :

See below for a description of each Big Brother housemate- in the house and potential new blood, but which one deserves to be the firstto go? And when they do, the new rules state that a new member will enter thehouse – which of the three people should replace the evictee?

---

The first 10 contestants Stuart,aged 36. Highly confident and articulate, this director of acommunications company is into golf and is married with three children.Penny,aged 33. A single English teacher who describes herself aseccentric, passionate and hyper. Her ambition is to make every teenager’sdream come true (oo-er, missus!)Paul,aged 25. Describing himself as a ‘ray of sunshine’, he’s a CAD designerwho’s single and has interests in cooking, drinking and saunas.Narinder,aged 28. Worried because she’s the only Asian in the house,this married medical rep is a former Bollywood star who needs only worryabout being a bit on the gobby side.Bubble,aged 24. Real name Paul, he’s a devoted dad with a young daughter whohe only sees at weekends. He considers himself crude and a “real geezer”.Certainly one of the most mouthy of the bunch.Helen,aged 22. A bubbly blonde who likes to be called Hilda, she wants toremain a hairdressing stylist forever, is a wannabe It-girl and a member ofthe official Whigfield fan club.Dean,aged 37. He lives with his fiancee and isn’t looking forward to thetime spent without her. For a job he runs his own internet company, reckonshe’s a jack-of-all-trades who can turn his hand to almost anything. He’s alsotaken in a guitar.Elizabeth,aged 26. A part-time website designer, she’s single, claims to beindependent and a good listener, loves avacados, hates smoking and promises tobe a “breath of fresh air in the house”, despite being “bad in the mornings”.Brian,aged 22. Big Brother’s answer to Graham Norton, this openly gaycharacter “makes a wicked Shepherd’s pie” and is a cabin crew supervisor.One of his bad points is “playing love songs at 4.30am” and if he doesn’t stopmincing about he’ll be the first to be evicted.Amma,aged 23. Not all her family and friends know she’s a lap-dancer by tradeand describes herself as a “tart with a heart”. This single girl says she cantalk “horse shit till the cows come home”. Sounds like a prime candidate to winthen.

---

Josh won the vote as the 11th contestant Josh,aged 32. He runs a housing agency in Soho. He’s made a million and lost amillion. He guarantees to bring nudity, nocturnal action and naughtiness tothe house.Anne,aged 45. A divorced mum-of-two, and grandma of one. She owns her own clothingstore in Lancashire. She’s “a do-er, not a thinker” and an “excellentlate-night talker”.Natasha,aged 26. Lives alone in Kent, this muscular black girl is a part-time modeland aspiring writer.
