Big Brother’s Middle Brother #2

Day fo’een in the Big Brother house (you’re putting on the voice, aren’t you?) As promised, two weeks after my original post, I’m checking in to see how the housemates are getting on in the final season of UK Big Brother. I was considering doing a ranking of the top housemates from 1 to 13, but there would be just 1 at the top and then 12 joint last places. Instead, I’m sticking to the order they went into the house, and telling you what they’ve been doing since day one…

Josie

The loudmouthed one who talked about her love of cocks (of the feathered variety) in her introductory video hasn’t been as in your face as expected. She actually seems a lot more normal than you’d expect. Week one featured a lot of flirting from her at the Aussie fella, “Becks” as she calls him, but that has since fizzled, after they had a row - all his making though.

Steve

For an army guy, you’d expect him to be rough around the edges, but big Steve actually seems a gent. Very patient, and hasn’t got on anyone’s nerves yet. He’ll definitely be around for another few weeks, and could be the eventual winner. He’s the Daddy of the house this year.

Ben

A lot of people seem to dislike Ben. I don’t, he’s a legend. He seems to get blamed for everything, and was in trouble for discussing nominations last night But unlike some of the other vindictive housemates, he was in trouble for telling people he didn’t nominate them. He just can’t catch a break. Very clever, and both intentionally and unintentionally funny, he’s my favourite by a mile.

Rachael

EVICTED: Week 1 - which was a shock, as she was up against the criminally annoying Shabby.

Nathan

Another normal bloke. Does a lot of the cooking for the house, which means they’ll keep him around for a while. The quickest way to a housemate’s heart is through their stomach. Would you kick out the person who made you dinner every day? I don’t think so. Another possible winner.

Dave

The worst quote of the entire series so far has to have been Dave’s admission to Big Brother in the Diary Room that he was “intoxicated on the love of our Lord”. Now this would have been fine if he had been drinking, but he had been nowhere near the blood of Christ. Tells everyone he loves them, and makes them feel like children/pets. Expect him to be up for eviction every week until he gets the boot.

Caoimhe

Keeva may be Irish, but that won’t stop me disliking her. She’s like an army brat, and seems to be Shabby’s sidekick. After Shabby told her she had the hots for her Irish housemate, Caoimhe should’ve taken a step back, but since no-one else would take her in, she stuck where she was. Yet another incredibly embarrassing Irish housemate. I’d nearly prefer Spiral.

Govan

I liked him at first, but as the days go by, he seems to become more and more of a whinger and a bitch. Likes stirring things up and causing trouble for other people, and then when he’s confronted himself, he gives the puppy dog eyes. Big Brother shouldn’t have convinced him to stay when he was asking to leave.

Shabby

One of the most annoying contestants of any of the eleven years of Big Brother. Acts like a spoilt schoolchild, and forces everyone to do what she wants. When it doesn’t work out for her, storms off in a huff. Ben seems to repeatedly face her wrath. Unfortunately won the task this week, and spared herself from eviction.

Ife

Ife doesn’t really seem to do much. She’s the non-essential third wheel in the Shabby-Caoimhe pairing. I thought I was going to finally start to like her last night when she was keeping Ben’s secret, but didn’t even take ten seconds to cave under pressure from Shabby. A doormat with little personality of her own.

John James

A gigantic tool. That’s what he is. He’s enormously annoying and is a bully to most of the others. Sticks his nose in other people’s business, and attacks repeatedly until he draws blood. Far too aggressive, and if he stays in for another few weeks, could be involved in a massive row (much like the huge one with Emma, Michelle, and Victor a few seasons ago).

Sunshine

The world’s worst Lady Gaga impersonator. The only good thing about her is how the others make fun of her awful singing. Annoying looking with an even more annoying personality. People with names like “Sunshine” should be shot on sight. The sooner she’s gone, the better.

Corin

Another potential winner. Sometimes impossible to understand, Corin is outgoing and fun. If she lasts another few weeks, she’ll win many more fans, which could send her all the way to the final week. The Mammy of the house so far.

Mario

The mole didn’t do too much to annoy me until this week. He wasn’t up for eviction, but after Shabby won the task, she replaced herself with “pasta” (that was her very secret code - you wouldn’t need the Rosetta Stone for that one). Mario’s response to this was terribly self-pitying, lashing out at the wrong people. A bit of a whinger, really.

11/4 - Corin
