Celeb Big Bro Thread 2 - Courtney's audition for the Bucks Fizz tribute act wasn't quite what they were looking for...

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Yes, I know it is a shock to discover CBB celebrities famous for something other than being on other reality shows, but there are some in the house this year! It is a miracle!

Still no shopping lists, decent long-lasting tasks and lack of BB interference but we can't have everything can we?

PWBs - pull up a chair (from your favourite Oak furniture dealer), grab your snacks and get stuck in!

Favourites so far are Courtney & Shane. L.

Courtney was fantastic last night!

Hello back to you Dame . I actually recognise some of the celebs. I've never seen Love Island or the Kardashian show.
No idea who that bloke dapper (?) is, but what he said in the Diary Room was dreadful. The other bloke should have called him out on it.
I don't watch The Apprentice either.

MrsKnightley, what is peaktrans please? Or was it a typo?

Told, it's the moment when you realise the emperor isn't wearing any clothes

Janey yes our demand 5 has it as Friday's episode as Saturday 00.00 . I've now set a series link, do I can just go straight to it.

I am going to try to be gracious, feminine and wise like Courtney tomorrow. I will fail.
I will try to knock up some delicious meals like Shane L whilst asking colleagues considerate questions. I will fail.

Peak trans is the point at which people say "enough!"

MrsKnightley as well as what others have said re On Demand, CBB in always on My5 online fairly soon after airing. The main exception being if they have to edit out something libelous!

Anne agreed re comments about Ann's sexuality etc, it is really odd. Altho men get this too - if they're elderly and single people often assume they're gay, iyswim

I haven't watched BB celeb or otherwise since Jade/Shilpa era, but am absolutely hooked, mainly because of India. India's comments in the leg shaving discussion on Women's Hour last December was a bit of a peak trans moment for me.

As a mildly interesting aside, that boyfriend of Ann's from her Oxford days is the father of Kate Maltby (the journalist who had the Damien Green knee touching, texts, and come-ons).

Thanks ,Beyond
Right, I'm going in. India. You are a belligerent it's all about me moaning whinger. I would be happy to address you as she, but you were born a man and I look at you and don't see a woman. Your behaviour is unlike most women I know. I don't ever recall a woman massaging her breasts or drying her hair topless in front of others.

I’m hoping that tonight episode has no IW in it. We’ll be able to concentrate on the other people then.

However, I’m not holding my breath.

India needed intensive therapy not genital mutilation

Hello I'm another lurker. Enjoying CBB so far and loving the thread. Like most people I imagine I cheered Malika on last night as well.
Didn't expect to like her tbh but she seems smart and straight talking and I like that. Love Courtney/Shane IW could learn a lot if he took his head out of his arse. Like Ann even if I don't like her politics, I think she reads people well and think Amanda is great. Andrew seems a genuine sweetheart and John and the other Shane are coming across well.
Other than IW who is loathsome there is only Rachel so far that I'm not keen on, it seemed to me that she was feeding Ann lines that would make her unpopular and not sure about her interactions with IW.They don't seem genuine and I think its a bit of an act.

What did IW say Cecily?

Oh God ...

I've just twigged who IW reminds me of: Rory Kinnear in Penny Dreadful.

Is there ever a live overnight feed? I'm really enjoying the discussions on here. I watched the other night when Malika explained very eloquently her view re Harvey Weinstein. Or rather didn't victim blame and I thought how intelligent she seemed.

told!!!!! Hello my Doctors-loving buddy!! Lovely to see you here!

CBB is a belter this year. I thought it was going to be its final outing but now I'm not so sure.

Yeah she gets feminism plus points for that. The others calling the women stupid, maybe not so much...

I’ll admit i only started watching because of IW. I’m staggered at the way it has went - i thought India was more clued up - no idea what a numpty they were.

Summary of it all here

Hello Anne seems like you're the boss of this thread I'm really enjoying all the comments and the actual show.

We had a trans supply teacher regularly a few years ago. Nowt like a bunch of 5 year olds telling it as they see it and not afraid to ask questions.
Thankfully, supply was a gem and it was a great lesson for all the kids.
Just glad it wasn't IW.

Do we know what the expected end date is?
I know they often extend it if it's popular, tho
