I read the BB forum link the other day that said about Noirins Ex flying over from the states to go in to replace KENNY! But Tom walking threw the plans up in the air so they have decided to wait a little.
Now my question is, why replace Kenny? He would have been evicted anyway and they cancelled the eviction so they were still as they should have been numbers wise when Tom walked.
Does that mean they will also replace Tom? And why did Tom walking stop them putting someone new in anyway?
Some good questions.
Firstly, not only is it unnecessary to replace Kenneth (because, as you say, someone - probably Kenneth - was going to leave anyway), but Kenneth would appear to have been an
extra HM in the first place. The story originally going around was that there were going to be 4 new HMs - 3, plus 1 to replace Saffia. Kenneth's inclusion appears to have been a last-minute decision. "If" the Isaac Stout story's true, I suspect it was purely intended as a "twist" - it wouldn't have been as a Kenneth replacement because the timing was too tight.
I've been skeptical of the Isaac Stout story, but it came from BB Online which has a good reputation in some quarters. BB Online originally claimed he'd enter the house last Friday. If true, this would explain why BB didn't cancel Friday's "eviction crowd", even though Kenneth was only getting a studio interview.
When he didn't show on Friday, BB Online claimed it was because he was still undergoing security checks, and would enter the house soon. They suggested (but crucially didn't claim) he'd go in on Sunday. This made sense, as it could be tied-in with BBLB.
When
that didn't happen, BB Online claimed it was because Tom leaving had thrown everthing into confusion (and of course BBLB had to cope with interviewing both Kenneth and Tom). BB Online are still claiming that their story is correct, and Isaac will enter the house "within the week".
Now, even if this whole story is true (and I really hope it's not), I somehow doubt BB will go ahead with it now. There's a good chance Noirin will leave on Friday, and I wouldn't have thought they'd risk another Karly/Kenneth farce. Also: do they need to replace Tom at all? If Kenneth was, as it appears, an "extra" HM, then it would appear not.
Personally, I think the whole thing's unlikely for a number of reasons, but consider this: anyone who had stopped to think about it for 30 seconds would have realized that putting Kenneth in the house was a bad idea, but that didn't stop BB, did it?
