Big Brother ITV2 - Thread 4

I feel im in the minority as hate the contwct from loved ones in all these shows like BB or im a celeb. Im perhaps underestimating the pressures but theyve only been gone a few weeks it seems a bit overblown.

I do agree with this. Catrin and her mum crying was so OTT, my DD's have gone to their grandparents for longer than she, as an adult, has been in the house. 😂

Also BB especially its meant to be no contact with the outside world but now the dynamics in the house will change so much and people will support others more/less than before based on the people who went to see them and what they said and its not even equal footing because some had more/ less time and some mentioned house dynamics and others didnt

Absolutely.

Yep, I think Omar is a classic NW London lad who runs with the Mandem but then goes home to Mum and Dad. Home is a 3 bed semi. Mum and Dad have worked their arses off to provide for him and his siblings. He did reasonably well in his GCSEs but frustrated his teachers because he had so much potential. Omar is that lad. Stuck between different worlds.

His friend seemed quite well spoken. Not what I was expecting at all! Omar himself comes out with some unexpected intelligent conversation sometimes too. Is it a bit of an act for his rap career?

I enjoyed the visits but agree that it really does compromise the whole premise of the show.

I suspect the idea to allow it to play out like this was to move focus off Omar and let the family/friends of O and R have their say and potentially diffuse the situation.

Phillip is such a fibbster that I had to laugh, though he did seem concerned about what Rochelle's husband had to say as he knows very well what a backstabbing sod he is.

Russel seems like a nice bloke and probably knows the side of Rochelle that needed addressing. I am sure there is more to her that the bitch we see, again I had to laugh at her hugging Twix and holding her hand.

I think the Gen Xers genuinely forget the cameras are there as opposed to the likes of Lynx and Frankie who seem to be ever aware.

Personally, I don't mind the visits if it means a lighter show for the final two weeks. Some fun and frolics, however fake 😁 will be welcome relief after this last week.

I reckon hes lower middle class

Lives in a decent house, next to an estate, but has the money to buy real Nike tracksuits and trainers

Unlike me who was dirt poor and picked on by these kids for being 'poor' despite them claiming to be gangster

Projecting a little yes

Laughed out loud 😄

I love that last scene in 8 mile. Iconic and so well done.

Omar reminds me of this rap from 8 Mile:

But I know something about you
You went to Cranbrook. That's a private school
What's the matter, dawg? You embarrassed?
This guy's a gangster? His real name's Clarence

And Clarence lives at home with both parents
And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage

Absolutely! He’s a rich kid pretending to be a bad boy!

Just caught up. I cried at the visits & loved seeing the people they’ve been speaking about all this time!

Thought Lynx’s mum was stunningly beautiful - can see where he gets his looks from!

I liked Russel & I liked Gray so made me like both Rochelle & Twinks a bit more!

I don't think Omar's as down at heel as he makes out.

Rhianna and Omar are a tale as old as time…rich girl rebelling against her parents falls in love with a boy from the “wrong” side of town.

She’ll soon grow out of it and start dating someone far more suitable. Perhaps a Tristan who works for Goldman Sachs and went to the same prep school as her brother.

There is no way that Rhianna is going to run off into the sunset with Omar and leave Mummy and Daddy’s money behind.

I was a bit 🤔 at what Russell was saying, so I’m glad he eventually came out and said that Rochelle needed to be kind and more friendly etc!

Saying that, it just means that a mask will now be put on for the remainder of the time. I just hope that the voting public don’t have short memories - if she wins I will never watch again!

Rochelle’s husband was a lovely man! I think he’s made her think about how she’s been behaving and who not to trust. Same for Yazmin - her friend also gave the intel. Rihanna’s sister didn’t mince her words, they clearly come from a very wealthy family! How’s she’s ended up attached to Omar is baffling as on the outside she wouldn’t give him a second look .. he’s up sh*t creek deservedly so!!

I loved how shifty and terrified Philip was looking during the home visits.

I'd have been gutted if that had been my sister. I don't even think she said i love you.

Yeah she didn’t seem very nice.

Oh, and I'm glad Harry went. I don't think he's added anything to the house and he has no insight into any of the house dynamics or he was just faking being clueless. Sam deserves to stay and fight his corner.

Some of those visits were terrible. I would want information. Tell me who I can trust. Russell was good at this and also Yasmin's friend. Tell it straight. Give me names. So much more useful than, grandma watches you every night.

Really felt for Harry, his sister just went in and made fun of him mispronouncing words.

Aww Harry is out 😞 he’s obviously very blinded by Omar ffs!

This 👇 article is one of the more balanced. A lot of the tabloid reporting has been of the bottom feeder variety.

I personally think Omar needs the opportunity to learn and to grow.

The crowd seemed to boo everyone mentioned! Glad Omar is shitting himself after his mate filled him in, but I am disgusted at Lynx and his bro-code bullshit. Never been a fan of his and dislike him even more now. Poor Rhianna looks so lost and confused. I hope she can break free from Omar now.

Rochelle will start being nicer to people now I guess. Hilarious that she has suddenly realised Philip is a snake.

And it's a shame Harry has gone, but better him than Cat or Twinks IMO. I wanted them to stay.

Lynx's mum is beautiful! 😍

I also agree that they should not have had an outside influence. That was not the original point of the show. Then again, face to face nominations never were either.

Yes, he definitely isn't a normal qualified policeman! Not with no GCSEs even!
