Celeb Big Brother Thread 9 - For the love of parmesan, stop messing with the noms!!

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

We just want normal noms and no BB interference.

And shopping lists and good tasks.

Genuine question, i'm catching up from Australia.. how do you know theyre telling the truth about conversations that were had and not shown?

From what I remember, I think the men nominate two women and the women nom two men.

They do a task - men v women and the winner of that decides if it is the two women or two men. Then they decide which one goes.

I think.

I don't care for it.

So that means that they know about the back door bit? Or is that part of it a surprise to HM? Sorry for all the questions!

I think Ann's misplaced maternal instincts are focused on the 'boys'.

Usually a back door eviction is sudden, unexpected and no audience. They may or might not get an exit interview depending on timings, or they might just show up on BOTS. The main point is the no audience reception.

Luna truth is, you don't, but in any case you only ever get that person's perception of conversations don't you. When everyone was saying Ann ordered Ashley to bed, I saw her at the garden door and what she said was can you tell or remind Ashley that the lights don't go out in the bedrooms until the last person in that room has turned in.

Of course the inference is there and of course what Ann wanted was for the lights to go off, but she what she said was reported to others and by others as a direct instruction.

Tales always gain and lose something in the telling and the programme editing can certainly alter the spin on conversations.

Think the back door bit is a surprise for the HM but not sure. I would think they'll assume it is just 'normal' noms.

Another bit of jiggery pokery. Walk this way -and don't come back. I think that there is a method to BB's madness as they are so anti-Ann. And yet they let Dapper off with his comments.

Year of the woman? I think not.

If we're going to start pointing out other posters spelling mistakes I'm fucked.

Me n'all

That's it in a nutshell Enrique.

People over-egg or play down conversations and we then have different recollections of what was said and how.

I had someone literally scream at me for 20 minutes. They were convinced they spoke to me rationally.

BB has been snide and very, very careful about some housemates. They have ignored others and have stirred the pot when the pot was empty. It has been a bloody weird do this series.

I misspell Widdecombe near enough every time

I feel the urge now to spell Ann Widgecombes name differently in every post.

It's going to tough...

I've started thinking of her as 'Uncle Tom Cobley'

I never got past AW anyway

That's complicated enough

Widgecombes

pickled

Perhaps. I think I am the same. I also have worked in male dominated environments all my life. I naturally gravitate towards men and my closest friends are men.

I love the company of women but it hasn't worked out that way friendship wise.

I'm maybe just odd

Fill your boots sinisterarselacedfat

Wdicm...

No offence.

Oops about the Widdecombe. In our house we refer to her as A Widdy ( In homage to P Diddy or Puff Daddy or Sean whateverhiscallinghimselfnow)
She was my constituency MP before she retired, I like her whilst not necessarily agreeing with her views.

Thank you for the back door explanations by the way.

sheldon arselacedfat is a fairly accurate description of me!

sinister Snap.

I've stopped wearing lacy drawers as my fat pokes through and I get marks that last a week. Strangulated fat aint purty....

I agree with that Sheldon and have been having a bit of a think about it in passing.

I read elsewhere a comment about Maggie. I didn't see Three Girls, but someone wondered if BB thought they were booking the Maggie portrayed by Lesley Sharp, but what they got was a quiet and kindly motherly figure who didn't stir things for them, but was more inclined to comfort others?

Similarly with Ann, they probably expected fireworks and instead got the younger generation's resentments? They probably expected Rachel to get her teeth into some issues and push it more rather than aligning herself with the ladz.

I'm disappointed that she (AW) doesn't want to debate or explain her opinions, but prefers to close down discussion. I've been having a bit of a look around the web to see if there's much in the way of clues because I don't know that much about her.

There's a bit reported from the Louis Theroux programme where Rita, Ann's mother, is being a bit indiscrete and Louis tells her that Ann won't like it 'Ann doesn't matter' was the reply. I wonder if her brother always had precedence in the family?

Her brother was an Anglican Canon who had this to say on the subject of women priests for example 'Malcolm Widdecombe is Canon of St Philip's and St Jacob's in Bristol, a church where men exclusively hold positions of leadership.

He said: "I think it is abundantly clear in the scripture that God has created us with different roles.

"We were promised a revival 10 years ago and yet there are less and less people in the churches - the decline continues.

"We take scripture as the final authority - we are not cultural we are counter-cultural. The whole thing was a mere cave in to feminism," he said.' BBC 2004.

Maybe, despite us knowing her as a determined single woman in what's arguably a male dominated career path, she was schooled and socialized to firmly believe that ultimately men are in charge and must be looked after?

AW will be forever A-Widdy in my head now.

Malcolm, oh wise and wonderful male - you mean fewer people, not less...
