Good Lord, for a nice man you have truly shocking taste in HMs.

I thought Dave was bad enough but bloody Ziggy?

Ziggy was a great housemate in my opinion. He had to put up with so much crap from Chanelle. I certainly wouldn't have been as patient as he was.

Sorry Maths, it's not you it's me

I miss Freddie and Science. Russell Brand presenting BBBM, made me cringe at times however he was hilarious IMO and when it was worth watching.

little monkey??

I miss when housemates could do and say things which wouldn't result in the OfCom Complaints Squad going mental.

Oh yes, I miss Russell too.

One of my favourite moments:  



Look how close it came to taking the woman's leg off.  Lucky escape for Mr Brand. 

Russell Brand made BB brilliant.

This ^^^^^

I didn't watch BBBM much with Russell and regret it terribly.  Although maybe I'd have got sick of it if I'd watched it every time.

It was his choice to be involved with the mongy trout in the first place. He was hardly dragged at gunpoint! You men always stick together (erm, not literally like )

I think you would have done. I did after a few shows, he gave me a headache with all his shouting. It was most unnecessary

ha ha ha.  I thoroughly enjoyed him when I saw him only occasionally.

Plus the constant use of the word ballbags.

He was structural. Karlo, you of all people would have been spellbound!

I was never put off by his ballbags.

True! I saw him live at the O2 and he was funny as hell. He wasn't so much of a showman and when he calms that madness down he's actually a really comical fella

One of the best things I've seen Russell do was an Amnesty International gig on telly...he did a whole (serious) thing about Ian Huntley and how disgusting the tabloids are.

It was funny, whilst remaining utterly respectful to the victims, scathing of Huntley and tearing The Scum (I think it was, may have been NOTW) a new arsehole.

That's when he's at his best, that's my fave kind of comedy...when you go "shit, that's how I feel too."

I was quite surprised he became a movie star still.

I've not seen his acting but must admit I am quite jellus that he gets to smooch The Perry. 

I have a dead sad, naff admission to make, I own Russel'ls biography, not his autobiography, not the Booky Wooky... an actual crap biography from one of those shops that sells books for, like, 50p or summat. He had a round face and a quiff as a youth.

awww!

I like him, but his Booky Wooky was Crappy Wappy.

It has a lovely name.

Do you know what ( and I know I am in the minority here). I just won't miss BB at all. 
It has had it's day for me as far as I am concerned and this is a good time for it to go.

Oh is it? I bought it as a gift for someone once and they really liked it

I'm in semi-agreement. I think as it is it's tired, predictable, too much influencing with the HL shows, it just smells really off at the mo with all the Nadia/Coolio stuff. I feel kinda cheated and I haven't even spent money voting. BB11 was a washout for me aswell. The whole Josie/John James saga was the focus of the show and IMO eclipsed and possibly suppressed various personalities from coming out too.

The problem is that anyone who went in the house this year was not doing it for the experience, it has become a fast track meal ticket, 5 minutes of fame, a chance to make a few grand and with any luck not too much damage to ones character at the end of it. Anything more than that is a bonus. It just felt quite false and contrived this year. This is why I prefer the celeb one cos as much as they all have an agenda, to me I know a bit about these people, I half know what to expect and I have found it more entertaining overall thus far.

Taking all the above into account though I don't want the show to end. I think it is a format that can still work as it is still a recipe for conversations all over the net, it just needs a fresh pair of eyes to look at it and a fresh production team to tweak things here and there. If Richard Desmond does buy it, it would maybe benefit to conduct some kind of online poll to ask the viewers what they want to see.


This was only supposed to be a quick reply btw, bloody hell I can't half go on

If Richard Desmond does buy it, I fear it will be a worse format then it had become.

That was, for me, the highlight of BB.

I guess if I am honest, there will be quite alot I will miss and in a way I am sad to see the end of it.

I miss the Sunday night show with the so-called experts analysing the HMs body language etc

 If you think they're tacky wannabes now, under his regime you won't even get to audition unless you've had a boob job and been in an 'adult' film

Oh without a doubt

And the post eviction interviews will be on Channel XXXX
