Ohhh I hear ya sista What I'm liking about the whole showfauxmance thing is that I'm seeing Josie as a down to earth, normal woman who's wearing her heart on her sleeve a bit. I was a tad unsure of her for a while, but the way I've seen her react to the JJ and Kevin closeness she's just like most lasses and if she had any kind of gameplan, has been blown out of the water cos I genuinely believe she likes JJ.

Kevin on the other hand. Grrr. That one's got a face that could curdle milk and she's just so sly and bitchy and she knows exactly what she's doing where JJ's concerned (i.e. trying to be part of a 'storyline' to keep herself in the house like she did with Shabby)

I get the feeling JJ's been gagged for the last 23 years and only got the tape ripped off his mush when he got selected for the show. He hasn't shut up since he's got in the house

Meh. They know what can do with their targets, blimmin vultures. I was only gonna go if I could get free patches and stuff but apparently it's not that simple, I have to attend weekly sessions or some rubbish? It's enough to make you want to not quit!

I know what you mean. Hubby (who gave up for 2 years and started again) and two of my sons smoke. It doesn't matter what ailment they go to the doctor for, they get the quit smoking routine.

the tasks are shite too.

It's only this year I've seriously contemplated giving up and have actually wanted to, but am still not motivated enough to put the amount of effort in and I wish I could muster it up from somewhere So I've given myself till December to at least cut down if not have given up completely, then hopefully Santa will bring me summat nice like a pair of Manolo's for my sacrifice

Mornin chicken, I don't even watch the tasks. The only one I saw was the football one and even that was a load of cack after a few minutes. What's happened to it this year?

they breathalyse you...   monitoring your carbon monoxide levels...  so they can tell if you've had a fag! 

Oh have a word - are you serious??!!

Even the HM's think it is going downhill.  BB need to do something

That sounds like a fair swap to me.

But it's up the HM's to do something about it! They're the only ones who can, really. I think back to the Jade and Kate Lawler BB, granted they had a lot more alcohol in those days but they still entertained themselves (and me) by playing that spinning round the mop handle thingy and pushing each other around in a shopping trolley. Maybe the differences between them in there are too great to do something as a collective

Indeed

Yep!

Well they can shove that right up their chuff!

Yes, you're right there Karma.  They don't seem to be doing very much together, apart from going into the garden to smoke and bitch or the nest to smoke and bitch.  There are loads of things they could do to entertain themselves and us.

from what i remember, they used to have  tasks that lasted a couple  of days and often forced  hm's together that hated each other.

i think the longest one this year was putting ben wigs on and saying 'whot!'

not very challenging  at all.

I dont think it ever got started

They just seem like a right selfish bunch - not to mention lazy. Quick to lay blame on each other for things but not one of them will take the initiative to try and get the group together. Gone are the days when people went in the house for the experience, it's all about what's in it for them afterwards, and I don't think this lot care whether they entertain us or not, they're just worried about how they come across on camera. I'd just love to see them all just let go and have fun and sod what they look like! Too wrapped up in themselves.

 so much for going out with a bang...more like a fizzle of farts 

And following through for the grand finale! What a way to go out eh! (but highly apt considering the way this series is going)

i agree this is a crap series so far

And me Baz, but mine, like yours i am sure , havent been brought up to speak like that. I hate girls swearing like Keeva, and whats worse she doesnt even say oh my family are watching i shouldnt swear. It just seems to be in her everyday vocabulary

The first two weeks it was the Scabby show, since then it's been the JJ and Josie show.....borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring

Well judging by his earlier comments about his staying power I'm hardly surprised....

They were so right to decide to pull the plug on Big Brother.
This is now sheer tedium.
And I say that as a BB fan who has watched every series.
But it is now breathing from every pore that it is past its sell-by date.

I wish they would give them some decent tasks to do.  Or perhaps the HM's themselves could use their imaginations and do something to entertain us and themselves.
