Celeb Big Brother Thread 13 - Put on your best Annighties, grab a slanket & get ready for the final!

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Pussy Pops and Chocolate Biscuits all round!

I'll just have a water...

Oh thank you Sheldon! It is magnificent! Thanks for your company!

Good night Chilly! Make sure you're here for normal BB!

dusters Shane L can be our brother too. He can teach us Irish Country Dancing.

spring I've wondered that, I suppose it is just obvious a lot of us have known each other a long while, but there is no need, they can just launch themselves right in. Even better if they bring Magnums and a love of JCBs.

Goodnight but not goodbye PWBs

Posters and lurkers are all welcome here.

I shall post CBB news here tomorrow x♥️

I just comment, don't really care that I am mostly talking to myself here, tbh.

On BOTS Courtney quoted something Ann said in the BB house

Apparently Ann said that if a man won this BB it would be a sign of true equality.

I haven't seen her much on QI Sole . She's certainly very different to Stephen Fry. I agree as stand up Sue P isn't at her best. I've mostly enjoyed the travel series she did, interviews, game shows, and that series about food with Giles Coren.

"Oh come on if the other Shane had won you'd all be loving it and wouldn't be whingeing about a man winning it then."

SLANDER!

It has been lovely and I thank you all (except the slanderers and the sea lions).

I don't get to watch til tomorrow -will the PWB thread be over? Glad to hear Ann stuck up for herself during the interview - given how much shit she has got on twitter for not wearing a bra etc. I really think a man who corsets himself in all sorts of ways and encourages others to do the same is not advancement.

We normally hang around for a while mirialis

Voting figures and comment from Digital Spy:

Shane J/Courtney Act — 49.43%
Ann — 39.50%
Shane L — 7.42%
Jess — 2.75%
Wayne —0.90%
It's worth noting that these figures don't necessarily equate to a realistic view of fourth and fifth place finishers Jess and Wayne's popularity because the lines were closed much earlier in the night for them.

But sheerly for comparisons sake, Courtney Act's 49.43% of the final tally was considerably more than last summer's winner Sarah Harding notching 35.33% and the paltry 32.65% that Coleen Nolan mustered last winter.

Oh come on. As Ann said, true equality would be letting a man win year of the woman. It's time to move on with the world! What a miserable bunch you all are

I think a man winning YotW is a fairly accurate reflection of our society.

As was the editing of the series:

We weren't shown any of the serious discussions, unless a man was involved (IW initially, then Shane J talking get rights and Ann's voting record, then John B talking through various issues). Nothing from Maggie, only shown Jess when she was able to be shown as a figure of fun or was being suitably self-deprecating.

And we were shown far too much ladzbantz (without comment on BBOTS picking that up and showing it to be the misogynistic guff that it was, and they weren't ever shown being tackled properly over it - Shane J did comment sometimes (when he wasn't joining in) but didn't keep plugging away like he did when tackling Ann, for e.g.), and far too much of the crappy showmance (which was in itself a an interesting reflection of society, with Ashley trying to talk to G, and not get physical, and G constantly putting her on the back foot by referring to sex, insisting he was going to 'get some of that', and getting shirty with her over the fact that Andrew said he was interested,, when there was no hint of Ashley returning any interest at all, yet she had to defend herself over it ).

Apparently, that's what the public wants to see (given the edit will have been chasing viewing figures) - dramaz, ladzbantz, and the potential for sex. And if no sex is forthcoming then let's show the ladz whining about the fact they expected sex, and the balance of generations in the house means that they aren't getting any. At the risk of sounding like Ann, what has the world come to?

The only way this CBB could ever have been YotW would have been if BBOTS became a serious discussion over how e women were being treated/referred to/what was expected from them. In a house full (mostly) of intelligent people, happy to have fun (why not show more of the tasks?) and on the whole getting along well,with each other, he editors still chose to make it all about sex.

As i I sad at the beginning of this post, a fairly accurate reflection of society,

I'm afraid i just "launched myself in Anne, then after i felt a bit cheeky for not introducing myself and offering refreshments.

Panda, I wholeheartedly agree!

Just watched on catch up. I really hope we see more Shane L on tv, he's a joy to watch. It would be good to see someone really moral up front. And he looked lovely tonight.

I wasn't keen on Emma's skirt. Or her interviewing technique. So patronising.

My little Shoutney was so boring I fast forwarded through the Interview.

For a series I enjoyed, the last episode was a real let down. No house activity, and nothing Interesting from shoutney.

Sheldon, where did you find that nighty picture? It's stunning.

Thank you for being such a great place to hang out guys! As a first timer, I enjoyed myself greatly!

I couldn't watch my little Shourtney's interview because I couldn't bare Andrews gurning face.I did watch a bit of Bbots though and considering Rylan hated Ann he was polite and his usual self with her Rylan totally bessoted with MLS it was very odd he was swooning.

MrsJayy, I wonder if rylan was so biased against ann as he wanted shourtnety to win and knew how popular she was? Looking at Anne's voting figures, Ann also had more % of votes than Sarah H and Coleen - both winners. So once shoutney had won, he didn't feel the need to bias people's opinions of Ann anymore.

Or he's just two faced. He'd hardly be in a minority of one if he was...

I think he wanted or ch5 rather wanted Shourtney to win so swung the vote.

I jumped on and made some comments on this thread (and the Strictly one) without introducing myself; I know it’s a little community but I find reading the conversations on here so funny and involving that every now and again I pipe up, forgetting that I’ve been a silent lurker in the main.

On the issues causing a ruckus: I think Emma is gorgeous and I loved her outfit last night with a passion - I want to wear it more than I want to wear a voluminous nighty, although I am also a fan of comfortable and enveloping nightwear. I do think she has the look of a slightly frightening robot albeit an extremely beautiful one. I do find her interviews frustrating as they skim the surface - I’m sure Davina was more probing. However, as I have a glass of wine whilst watching the main show I usually fall asleep by the time she interviews them anyway. I totally missed Ann and Courtney last night.

I completely get the disappointment of a man winning year of the woman and I understand the reservations about drag queens - what I cannot understand on this thread is that those who object so vehemently to Shane J on feminist grounds simultaneously supported Ann, whose opinions are so damaging to women’s rights and equality. I really feel it would have been far worse for a woman with such misogynistic views to win this series and I am bewildered by the support. I didn’t dislike her at all, but her views are abhorrent.

I really wish the final hadn’t been so male dominated; I wish the ladz had been taken to task for their disgusting ‘banter’; I despise Andrew and his stupid heart hands and I love that it was such a positive and empowering experience for Jess. I think her time on the house did encapsulate the theme - she learned so much and was so supported by women and I feel it must have been very healing for her after her horrible experiences previously. So I do feel there was merit in this year’s show, even if it did showcase some depressing entrenched sexism as well.

I think people turned on shane J because of his hipocrosy (sp) he said the right things but acted like a privilaged man he could have his pink cupcake and eat it,at the start he was kind considered empathetic to women but as soon as Andrew percieved courtney as shagable he turned a blind eye to laddish behaviour and mysogony (again spelling)

I wanted Amanda Barrie to win and was gutted she didn't

Captain - I ended up supporting Ann because she actually believes what she says and didn't start arguments and kick off for attention like a Katie Hopkins type. We're not going to see a reversal of marriage equality or abortion rights, so I'm not that bothered by the content of her views because she has no power and did not preach those views on the show.

So for me it came down to the supporter and public commentary rather than the characters themselves and there was an awful lot of misogyny directed at Ann from the very people accusing her of being misogynistic.

Yes, I felt Ann behaved well despite being very challenged by her environment. Of all the people there I think she would have found it hardest, but she didn't seem to lose her cool or get nasty. She just took herself away and hid under the covers when it got too much.

I'm not keen on what Shoutney represents- I am more comfortable with effeminate gay young men than with drag, because of what drag says about women. That said, i found Rylan's camp posturing really irritating.

Some of the house mates made it through the diary room without being nasty about anyone. Jess, Shane L, possibly Ann. The others said mean things about individuals, a lot of it about Ann. I think if she dares to watch it back, it will be disappointing for her. People she thinks she gets on ok with were pretty nasty behind her back. I'm sad for her. She'll be disillusioned, or possibly her discomfort around people will be reinforced as reasonable. What is she to think of people who insist on hugging her, then spout bile behind her back?

It's funny - as I have got so invested in this series, I was expecting to see a lot about the results in the paper, but I read The Times and The Guardian and of course no mention - had a quick look at the tabloids and of course they ran stories (seemed to make as much out of Ann as Shourtney) but seems other people's divorces, leaving Strictly etc. are much bigger news... and then you realise no one else really is watching or caring at all!

Which makes me feel better as means Andrew will disappear quickly other than doing a round of reality shows that I don't watch.

I could imagine Andrew doing something like I'm a Celeb as I think he's loving the spotlight!

I'm sure he'll do that, Strictly and Celeb Masterchef - anything he can get himself onto but I don't watch them. Am wary of how quickly I got hooked on CBB though after so many years of not watching - can imagine myself getting into I'm a Celeb if they had interesting people on there. My husband is really relieved CBB has finished!
