Celeb Big Bro Jan 2018 - pre-season thread

Hello PWBs, Lurkers and anyone else who is remotely interested.

Just read the first article I've seen about the January CBB - apparently they are starting off with all women.

Didn't they do this before or has reality TV made me imagine things?

Will anyone be watching this time???

Yes aggressive. I think shouting and refusing to allow people to speak and repeating statements over and over again along with wild gesticulating is aggressive. Aggression is not always physical.

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 00:47

I think the housemates have been very tolerant of IW. I don't think my 82 year old aunt would appreciate a pair of tits swinging over her head whilst carrying out her daily ablutions.
I think the agenda for IW was to go in and become a trans Joan of Arc. Ain't no way she was ever going to take not being offended.
The dynamics will shift now but we all know IW is a bully.
Amanda may look fabulous but she is 82 years old. Show some fucking respect.

BatShite · 06/01/2018 00:49

India is even more annoying than I thought he would be. He clearly thinks getting the sympathy vote is the way to win this, unfortunately for him his 'offense' comes across as narcisism and hes actually coming across extremely fake with it all...AND the women in there have twigged that its all a performance.

Still a little annoyed that they put a male person in a supposed all female launch.

I think I love Courtney too. Can see a lot of sparks between him and India. India saying that drag queens freak In dia out...was odd.

Think I am going to like John too

And the ballerina dude looks like Putin to me for some reason. My friends don't see it and think I am going round the twist Blush

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 00:52

Batshite ballerina dude Shock. Sir Wayne has danced with and washed actual dinner dishes with Princess Diana Wink

Missrabbitneedsabreak · 06/01/2018 00:53

I think she was being dramatic not aggressive and I certainly doubt anyone in there seemed at all intimidated by her. I love Amanda but if anything her "should I just leave then????" was more aggressive than anything IW said. And no aggression does not need to be physical, as per my previous discussion about whether she was abusive or offensive etc

Missrabbitneedsabreak · 06/01/2018 00:55

Also I think the word bully is a bit OTT. Who exactly is she bullying?

MsGameandWatching · 06/01/2018 00:58

I think "shall I just leave then?" was anything but aggressive. I think it was to bring IW to his senses and was saying you're not interested in my apologies and I am not interested in your rantings so let's take it to it's rational conclusion. What else should she have said? She cut to the chase and cut off the bollocking that IW was so desperate to dish out.

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 00:58

He's bullying them all. They are all on eggshells - no wonder the wrong things keep popping out. It must be very stressful being in there.

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 01:02

They will also be worried about editing. National treasures do not want to see their legacy torn down by some self-righteous cock in a frock.

MsGameandWatching · 06/01/2018 01:05

IW looks like a man, sounds like a man, moves like a man. With that in mind I think repeatedly laying into an 82 year old woman for a pronoun slip is absolutely disgusting. He's nothing more than a spoilt entitled brat who has had far too much smoke blown up his arse.

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:06

IMHO Professionally offended means I think my job in life is to be offended and am on the look out for anything or any comments or actions or any slip ups that someone might make and I will challenge them

So they don't see the full picture cos they are too busy being offended by tiny things or appreciate other people's viewpoint might be different

So expect everyone to be walking around on eggshells so they don't offend the professional offended type of person

(It could be on any topic like vegan vs meat, breast feeding vs bottle, SAHM vs WOHM whatever type of topic you like)

*IW was offended cos of wrong pronoun in a conversation about having a cold or cough and who had already had the cold/cough it was not a conversation about IW being him/her/it

But IW changed the whole thing to be about the pronoun and its use towards IW

Really horrible atmosphere to be living in and knowing that they can't challenge anything IW says or does cos the activists will ruin their career cos they are seen as phobic, I think that is a type of bullying by IW

Sort of using the threat of saying the wrong thing against IW will ruin them and get them thrown out*

Courtney had completely the right attitude to Shane's question

GetOutOfMYGarden · 06/01/2018 01:12

The difference between Courtney and India is staggering.

Courtney has said that since she hasn't been socialised as a woman, she won't pretend she understands completely. As long as you try and you're not being malicious, she's not too worried about which pronoun comes out or if you call her Shane/Courtney at a particular time.

India meanwhile insists she's never been male, she's a woman, she deserves access to womens spaces (although other transwomen don't according to her), that if you fuck up you're awful...

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:12

DameDoom I completely agree they will be so worried about the edit

24 hours into 50 mins and they know IW was put in there for headlines so don't want to be attacked for the wrong ones

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:15

Please can someone tell me about love island

Are you on there as nobody and then become a celeb cos you have slept with different people each day for2 months

Or is there anything more to it than that?

I mean is he just famous for sleeping with lots of people?

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:19

Think it is very interesting that the men have been watching the show so far

Do you think the women know that?

Will BB tell them or the men or is it a secret?

Do you think they watched just the main shows or live streaming?

GetOutOfMYGarden · 06/01/2018 01:21

IhaveChillyToes there's not really too much shagging on Love Island. He was in a couple with Prince Harry's ex Camilla Thurlow (a fan favourite), he dumped her for a girl called Tyla, and was then dumped by Tyla.

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 01:22

I saw the sleb one about 15 years ago with Shane Lynch. He drank water and raised his eyebrows a lot. Dangerous Dannan went mental and Callum Best did what he thinks he does best.
There was shagging and angst.
I haven't seen it since then.

bambambini · 06/01/2018 01:25

oh ffs, I’ve just watched the hoohaar of the misgendering. Fucking fuming for the WOMEN in there. IW is a narcissistic, delusioal, self absobed PITA. I’d been reading comments - but his behaviour was worse than i imagined. Did you see those women’s faces? Stuck in there with that creepy nutter, having to listen to that? India - you can’t force and bully folk to see you the way you want them to see you! You are not Stalin or Kim jong bloody Un or whatever his name is.

For gender critical women who have to put up with this crap from the more delusional and bullying TAs - this is sheer gold and shows what a crock of shit the whole nonsense is and how toxic and Orwellian.

I thought IW was cleverer than this tbh, i knew they thougt they could waltz in and dazzle everyone and make it the India show and become a national treasure - oops!

DameDoom · 06/01/2018 01:26

Regarding the men watching, I think Wayne will have a massive axe to grind with IW what with being a gay man who loves women.
I hope IW doesn't rile him up.
We should get Miriam Margolyes in to sort out IW.

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:43

Thank you for explaining about LI

so the people are celeb beforehand then

just like BB but on a beach then rather than a house?

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:46

Miriam with Wayne would be fab in there, she doesn't hold back her POV (also as a lesbian will have that slant too)

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 01:49

I really want to see the rest of the house interacting during the main shows not just one person

Hopefully we will see the others now but wish they had done live feed tonight

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 06/01/2018 02:03

chilly no not necessarily famous before they go to love island,

It just so happened that Shane did the celebrity version of it 12 or so years ago, it got cancelled after that and has come back in resent years. But it is normally a non celebrity version.

Shane wasn't massively in to it, he at the time had just broken up with his girlfriend, and he left early because he believed it conflicted with his faith, also on his return to the UK he got back together with his girlfriend and their now married and have two daughters. So there was no shagging for him.

And tbh I can't actually remember any shagging on the series he did, but I believe there was some on the last series of the non celeb version .
But yes pretty much big brother on an island

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 02:21

Thank you Xmas SmileXmas SmileXmas Smile

Think Shane is a really good bloke hope his time on CBB shows this Xmas SmileXmas SmileXmas SmileXmas Smile

IhaveChillyToes · 06/01/2018 02:24
