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!

Here it is

PERF, I am trying to understand what that means. Penis exclusionary? Umm, I'm well confused by all the terms these days.

So good I posted twice

This is the second BB I have ever watched, I watched the first ever but couldn't see the point of doing it over and over again, especially with slebs who I am generally not interested in at all.

I am hooked

I'm not getting the Rachel hatred. I think she is trying to draw Ann into a serious debate but I don't see what's wrong with that, it strikes me that they are the two intellectual women in the house and I'd probably do similar but be far less polite.

I get what Ann is saying about inflicting pain and grief as entertainment but I think she is a massive hypocrite given the women prisoners giving birth in handcuffs thing, which was the first time she came to my attention. It would have been great if someone had said 'yeah well Ann, it could be worse, they could be cuffed to the bed'

I like Rachel ever since she wrote this (DM) article which cut through some serious trans agenda gaslighting.

I wasn't expecting to like Jess or Malika but I do. Ashley seems a bit non-descript. Much as I loathe Ann's politics I feel quite sorry for her, she just looks like she wants to go home.

India - what everyone else has said really. Did anyone else notice that twice when India has challenged someone on misgendering, India has kind of trapped them in that galley kitchen bit? First Ann then Amanda.

Wow..that article by Rachel..not read that before. The whole 'omg you misgendered me' thing must really really piss her off.

Janet - thanks. So the answer to my question "would I recognise any of his work?" is "No".

Gorgeous Ruby. Is it ginuwine oak? (see what I did there?)

Going to read the RJ article now...

My new bed is being delivered on weds. Should have waited and got an oak one...

You went to a different furniture shop Beyond???

Just read the RJ article. BB should read that out to the house.

Thank you AEM. pats perfect self on back

Oh, I do like that unit. How many bottles of wine can you stash in it? That is what it's for, isn't it?

So Ann voted against the gra 2004, and Rachel is vocally against the grb? And Wayne has openly spoken against transing kids, and Court-ane says he has no right to take women's spaces.
And they put them in with India?

Who is the producer of CBB - they're clearly closet GC

Lovely Ruby

I hope you received a generous PWB discount

We should get staff discount with all the advertising we give them.

Told I spend a lot of times on the feminist pages. Does it show?

Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist is an insult thrown at people who won't accept that you can't change sex. Actually it's screamed at anyone who even asks questions. Or is a real woman. Or talks about female issues. Or or or... Basically anyone that doesn't bow down to the cult of the TRAs.

I have no issues with old school trans sexuals, but don't want to share female space with a penis owner. Hence I am a PERF.

Beyond you could have got a bed from RedCrayons she is always ram raiding shopping there.

Thank you perf. You make perfect sense.

It's been a long time since I saw that Genuwine music video. Was a huge fan back in the 90's.

Must stop pressing replay, it's getting moist up in here....

In relation to the blokes saying "I can't be arsed with this" - do any men see transwomen as women?

I've never met one. I mean, men are generally polite about the whole thing, but when pushed there is no way a heterosexual man would consider sex with a transwoman. Added to which most men I know aren't impressed by false boobs/nails/hair/ott "feminism".

MissRabbit, it's not just you, I think we should all be careful not to let the thread become JUST discussion of IW; tempting as it is, this is meant to be a fun thread and we should probably try to avoid too much concentration on one housemate.

And I've somehow missed a heap of posts again, so mine is out of synch.

This thread is moving fast!

Place marking/ checking in/ riding the wave. First cbb I've watched for many years!

IW is a prejudiced bigot. Phobia of drag queens my arse. The trans community hate drag queens. IW is just acting out that hatred. Courtney/Shane is a sharp cookie who knows full well what's going on. It's a testament to their personality that they haven't lamped her.

Have people forgotten how trans activists got drag queens banned from performing at a Pride event because they're offensive to trans people?

I usually watch the first episode and then give up when no one I know goes in

do any men see transwomen as women?

I doubt it. I don't think any women do either but 'its nice to be nice' ad say they do. I certainly do not see transwomen as women, transwomen are transwomen and thats all fine surely! its as if the trans part is something to be ashamed of when people repeat over and over that transwomen are women.

India is a self cented twat and until she leaves, the whole show will be about India. Unfortunately as India is centre of attention, vote to save will keep her til the end. Unless theres a head to head.

Courtney/Shane is a sharp cookie who knows full well what's going on.

Indeed. I half think the reason Shane did up Andrew in drag is to piss India off. Given they acknowledged when doing it that India has this 'phobia' and also when India sat foaming Shane drew attention to it again. I am thinking its possible Shanes just...giving India enough rope.

Who is immune? I can't remember.

Where’s the RJ article?
