John is a God amongst men. That is all.

We've now chatted more than the entire last series of CBB. I wonder why???? Grin

enrique I really agree with much of what you said. mirialis it's interesting to hear what the older generation think of women's issues today isn't it? I see how much of it must seem trivial in comparison (for them) but surely Ann and her like should be proud that women today are saying "its still not good enough". She really reminds me of the mother of an ex of mine, who in contrast was very a very liberal lefty but who carried herself and argued articulately and in a measured way like Ann. I don't agree with much of Ann's political views but totally respect the way that she puts them across. She's a very clever woman but tends not to patronize the likes of Jess and that should be celebrated. (However maybe we should remember she's a politician which is why she's probably good at putting a good spin/argument on some rather controversial opinions! )
That said I do think the way everyone keeps apologising to her whenever they swear is a bit cringey. Yes they are trying to be respectful of their elders but she's not God and she too should be accepting that not everyone talks the way she does.

I'm cooking cauliflower for mash and willing it to be done by 9!

LizzieSiddal · 09/01/2018 20:39

I’m just going to get ready for bed, PJs at the ready!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 09/01/2018 20:41

Checking in for tonight...

FrustratedTeddyLamp · 09/01/2018 20:43

Its taken me like 90 mins to catch up with the thread, yet give it 20 minutes and ill be behind again

QueenLaBeefah · 09/01/2018 20:44

Got my pjs on in readiness for tonight.

BatShite · 09/01/2018 20:45

With there being an audience tonight for the face to face noms, I wonder if Emma will say the housemates names...see no reason for the audience actually for this 'twist' but if she goes through them one by one and most get a good reaction, then India is booed to high heaven (which is surely inevitable) I wonder hoe India will take it...

India is seriously getting on my tits now with their victim complex and self-obsession. I would have loved to hear the rest of Andrew talk about breaking down gender stereotypes but of course as it was not about India, they shut the conversation down. Horrible narcissistic twat.

About the MN message..I have already been trying to use them/their for India. I don't feel people should be compelled to lie on threat of deletion tbh. 'Misgendering' is actually referring to a male person as she, IMO. But I guess people can try their best. Have to given some are so obsessed they are going through thousands of posts to report in an attempt to shut the whole damn thread down. Quite pathetic that is Hmm But thanks to HQ for allowing conversation on gender and such still. I know you must get a LOT of shit for it.

I'm so jealous of all of you in your Pjs about to watch it live Envy

I reckon India and Dapper will be nominated for eviction

CannyAnnie · 09/01/2018 20:48

I've caved in and time to contribute (don't often comment at all but read lots)....love all the HM like most on here. Did a quick google on Cbb BIts and this tweet came up. Couldn't have put it better
mobile.twitter.com/The_JamesJordan/status/950496034626703360. No idea who he is but he has other similar ideas on IW that have been expressed on here...

PositivelyPERF · 09/01/2018 20:50

Grin 20 mins! I love your optimism.

Chipstick10 · 09/01/2018 20:51

Do we think Channel 5 will try and protect India ? Maybe not let India hear the boos

See, this is interesting Missrabbit
I do think the way everyone keeps apologising to her whenever they swear is a bit cringey. Yes they are trying to be respectful of their elders but she's not God and she too should be accepting that not everyone talks the way she does.

I don't think Ann requires their apologies or for them to moderate their language or behaviour because of her presence. She doesn't like what she regards as base language or conversation and doesn't use it herself, but I think it's other people's regard for her personal standards that make them feel they need to apologize, rather than her requiring it. And it's definitely not them deferring to her age, because Amanda is older.

During her career I'm sure Ann will have heard much worse than anything that's come out in the BB House, but she still has the right not to want it in her face.

She was the same on Strictly Come Dancing. She knew the nature of certain dances and the kind of costumes to be worn, but simply said, if I participate I won't be getting that close and personal and won't be wearing a barely there sexy frock.

I'll just leave that image hanging in cyber space but add that Louise Rednapp also initially said she wouldn't wear anything too skimpy or suggestive, so Ann's stance wasn't unique. Louise later changed her mind. I imagine the dancers' performance personas are much like the drag queens' and are left at the stage door, but Ann isn't the kind to adopt a persona I don't think, what you see is what you get in any situation.

PERF you mentioned that you tread the feminists boards ( so to speak) . I've just finished a very good book by Emma Donohue called The Sealed Letter. I'd recommend it . (Nothing at all like her other well known book Room.)

In bed ready, watching Gaslight Bianca Witter on.

Never watch CBB downstairs, the neighbours can see the telly.

Will give the seeds a miss though

I usually can't stand James Jordan but his tweets are hilarious and spot on!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 09/01/2018 21:00

Reposted from earlier.

Only the women can nominate tonight, so eight voters with two nominations each and five housemates, Malika, Amanda, Jess and Maggie and Shane J are immune and cannot be nominated.

Amanda Barrie I

  • Andrew Brady
  • Ann Widdecombe
  • Ashley James Courtney Act / Shane Jenek I
  • Daniel O'Reilly
  • India Willoughby
  • Ginuwine Jess Impiazzi I
  • John Barnes
  • Jonny Mitchell Maggie Oliver I Malika Haqq I
  • Rachel Johnson
  • Shayne Lynch
  • Wayne Sleep

Underlined means they can nominate
Asterisk means they're eligible for nomination
I is for immune

NellyFrestelli · 09/01/2018 21:04

Love that India can't nominate Malika or Maggie tonight Grin
