I'm slightly obsessed by people's disastrous attempts to improve the look of their perfectly normal teeth.

As you age your gums shrink no matter how good you are at oral hygiene. Capped teeth get dark gaps over them unless you get the caps maintained and replaced. Which is expensive and a fag.

Veneers are an invitation to a lifetime of expensive maintenance and pain ranging from occasional sensitivity to the full-on Marathon Man experience.

Then there's tooth filing which is still popular despite all the horror stories that came out about people undergoing it for that programme 10 Years Younger.

Actually, that's what made it popular for ordinary people, which is how cosmetic surgeons make the bulk of their money - celebs try it out first, usually as a freebie, and then thousands of other people want the look and trust a celeb endorsement not realising many celebs are stupid and grasping and get things done free in return for talking about it in a magazine.

Most beauty journalists do exactly the same thing, which is worse because their puff pieces infest health pages and fool readers that there's a 'science-bit' behind the article.

All these things can be done really well by a skilled practitioner who's more interested in his reputation than your cash. But people like that cost a lot of money.

I told you I was obsessed, didn't I? Grin

More importantly, I want to change my vote from Julie to Martin. Lots of people like Martin, especially women, and women make up most of the BB audience.

Martin K went to Hollywood to work as an actor. He would have been made to get his teeth done or he wouldn't have been able to work.

cornybootseeker · 22/08/2012 09:54

I think Martin has an unusually shaped jaw/ mouth which his brother also has spandau stalker but that adds to his looks. He is very handsome but not 'perfect'

FushiaFernica · 22/08/2012 10:24

I think Martin looks great but a bit surprised by how wet he seems, then again he was a New Romantic.

theodorakis · 22/08/2012 10:30

I saw them in Dubai in the summer time where they were supporting Rod stewart. he limped out for a couple of 5 minute songs and then retired backstage. Spandau played their whole set without a break, including Gold and True (heavy on the voice) and then did true again at the end. Absolutely fantastic

itsatrap · 22/08/2012 10:49

I like Martin, he doesn't so far seem to have an agenda,he is just having a laugh and seems quite a good sport. didn't notice his teeth, did notice that sparkle in his eye thought.

Davsmum · 22/08/2012 11:08

Julian calls 'The Situation' the 'Occasional table' - brilliant !

I think Jasmine has a personailty disorder. She is seriously damaged !

firemansamisnormansdad · 22/08/2012 11:18

Oh, i love Martin! he seems so down to earth and don't forget he had that massive brain operation and nearly died - was it in the 90s? He deserves to win. Coleen is quiter than I thought she would be.

I've had my teeth whitened at the dentist using trays and a gel bleach. It doesn't hurt and isn't TOO expensive but it means that I haven't had a cup of coffee or tea or a glass of red wine since June. And chocolate is out too, unless you count white chocolate but that isn't the same.

firemansamisnormansdad · 22/08/2012 11:19

And Julian is so SWEEET - Julian to win.

squoosh · 22/08/2012 11:23

Oh I did chuckle at the Occasional Table comment! The Situation does not 'get' Julian at all.

cornybootseeker · 22/08/2012 11:24

I didn't really get the occasional table thing....

squoosh · 22/08/2012 11:27

I think it meant instead of being The Big Important Sexy Handsome Situation that he thinks he is, he's actually just a little bit lost and inconsequential as occasional tables are in the furniture world.

limitedperiodonly · 22/08/2012 11:29

Yep, my Martin Kemp To Win theory is holding so far...

Has no one noticed his badly-dyed hair and eyebrows and orange face either?

Doesn't make him a bad person. He is a bad actor though but it's a crowded field in soaps.

squoosh · 22/08/2012 11:32

I like Martin but yes the skin colour is a tad on the tangoe spectrum. And lose the hair dye. What is it with older male celebs and badly dyed hair?

Paul McCartney, Ray Davies . . . .

FushiaFernica · 22/08/2012 11:32

I read the 'occasional table' comment as neither use nor ornament. The situation's six pack is plain weird-is it surgery?

limitedperiodonly · 22/08/2012 11:42

Thank you squoosh. I want Martin to stay in if only to see how he deals with those stubborn greys.

He seems okay though. The younger men are all awful, innit? It can only be a matter of time before one of them starts humping Rhian or Danica's leg.

I'm going to have a closer look at The Situation's abs tonight to see if they are painted on.

lighthousekeeping · 22/08/2012 11:44

I think Martin is lovely but. might be abit to boring to win. What happened to the talanted brother who wasn't as good looking

squoosh · 22/08/2012 11:46

I'm willing to bet that The Situation's abs are real.

Picture it, he has a spare half hour, rubs his chin and wonders how to spend it. Read some Chaucer? Listen to some Dvorak? Catch up on the exciting Higgs Boson discovery? Work on my abs? Hmmmmm

limitedperiodonly · 22/08/2012 11:55

squoosh Grin

You reminded me. Julie endeared and depressed me at the same time by rubbing her chin and saying matter-of-factly: 'I'll have to get plucking tomorrow.'

lighthouse the evil talented brother keeps out of shot and works Martin from underneath. It's always been that way.

firemansamisnormansdad · 22/08/2012 13:57

If The Situation told a joke, would he be The Situation Comedy???

theodorakis · 22/08/2012 14:52

I think Julie is as barmy and egotistical as Jasmine. They are both narcissists.
Julian to win, just reading his autobiography, love him.

Teamumizumi · 22/08/2012 20:23

What about Danica? Phoney or sweet? Can anyone remember what was in those texts to Vernon Kaye?

OP posts:
RedBlanket · 22/08/2012 20:31

Danica wasn't involved in the texting. That was Rhian. Not sure hat the texts were about. Weren't there a couple more girls saying he was sending inappropriate stuff to them.

firemansamisnormansdad · 22/08/2012 20:35

Oh, well Rhian out on Friday. Jasmine is far too entertaining to let go.

SugarBatty · 22/08/2012 20:45

Apparently vern was sending her 'sexual' texts. But of course Rian wasn't responding to them in a sexual way, for some odd reason Vern just kept sending them without any encouragement, and then to top it off someone 'leaked' it to the press Hmm
