Celeb BB Thread 8 - We all need a Middle-Aged Mutant Grumpy Tortoise in our lives

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Everyone needs a pissed-off pet.

Bunion gate poor Hardeep Scottish people talk about stuff like that with no thought he and Sally were chatting and Ryan butted in with his she is a lady speil. The letters what a load of bollocks they are we miss you we love you like they are in a warzone not Elstree

Saw jermaine on Bbots I hate the word Banter just an excuse to act like a knob !

Sally is rotten.

She hates Hardeep because he challanges her gift the rest either believe or just keep quiet

Jermaine was so cocky on BOTS last night. He really is a prize tool. He reckons all is sweet with his wife but with his attitude last night you can guarantee he will be cheating on her in no time. I don't understand what these young women see in him. I'm obviously too old to understand!

Hardeep will definitely be up for eviction. If he's clever he will nominate Sally as he will know Ryan is popular and he probably won't beat him.

I kind of like but don't like Hardeep.
He's grumpy, prickly, quick to offence, wanting to start arguments (but I think that is because he's intelligent and just wants to spark interesting conversation) precious about his cooking etc etc. But at least he has shown he is all those things.

I can't be doing with all this 24/7 fun and banter crap - no one is like that in real life, constant rolling about kissing each other and talking bollocks and being laddish - gets on my wick. I have no idea what they are on about half the time, they talk total shit.

Don;t mind Kirsty or Nick (although I do find it hard to get past his crime, - but he's done his time and been blameless since).
Cannot abide Sally - just the sound of her patronising voice and her'wise woman' act. she's a charlatan - all this gift shit - I hate so called mediums/psychics with a passion.

Sally is not a lady.

My mam is a lady. Never unkind. Never bitchy. Not a bastard.

Sally is all of those and more. So not a lady. I see these things. Let's just say I have a gift...

Germaine on bots last night was interesting. He said Ryan was playing a game and not being real.

Real enough with a drink in I feel....

I hated Hardeep the first week but I kinda like him too he is keeping it real as they say he is being batty about his cooking but I reckon he is bored and just likes doing it. Ryan is like his brother was in Imaceleb cheeky chappy all about the bantz but he is not sneaky I don't think anyway.

I don't like Dan osbourne at all he gives me the creeps

I love that Hardeep remains calm when someone is trying to rant at him like a Ryan or Roxy.
He doesn't raise his voice just responds picking their argument apart and they don't know how to respond to intelligent observations about their argument, it throws them.
Yes he probably would get on my nerves being precious about the cooking but as someone else said I'd rather grumpy and intelligence over drama and fake romances and jazz hands all day.

Germaine on bots last night was interesting.
Now, I wouldn't go that far Sheldon.

Didn't he say he was a lawyer ? Probably why he is so calm and collected lots of them are a bit highly strung him and nick are very chilled

I can't stand Sally. The way she misrepresented the bunion thing. Saying that, Ryan couldn't wait to have a go at Hardeep. When H said that RT didn't have the full picture, RT argued that he didn't need to know, he just knew how he felt about it. I was, like, "can you hear yourself mate?"

I want both Hardeep and Sally to stay. I want Ryan to go.

Did anyone else think Gabby with her hair down looked like Dawn from Gavin and Stacey?

My top 3 predictions are Kirsty, Nick and Ryan but don't know in what order. Ryan will probably win.

The thing I don't like about Hardeep is that, although he has lots of different and interesting subjects to talk about, he just gets up and walks away from every conversation when someone expresses a different opinion to him. How can anyone have a good discussion with him when he isn't prepared to listen to them, acknowledge their point and respond? He takes it very personally and gets the huff.

Also, I don't think his kitchen hygiene is great and can understand why the hms asked him to make sure the chicken was thoroughly cooked. Why couldn't he just say, yeah sure no problem guys. Instead he did the 'cook it yourself' martyr act when he actually wanted to cook.

If he were female, he would be getting slated for those types of behaviour - bossy, controlling, sensitive, emotional, manipulating etc.

I think Kirsty is funny and coping really well in there considering she is the only actual celebrity and how many divas have been in there in the past.

Imagine when she gets home and her friends excitedly ask her who were the other celebrities. She will be all 'Um, um. Well, there was... um'

Ryan, Dan, Gabby and Sally will all vote Hardeep.

I think Nick and Kirstie will too unless anyone has been a complete arse yesterday.

Hardeep however I would have said Sally but then he surprised me picking Ben to go so he could well go for Ryan.

Out of them I would pick Sally to go. Although I wouldn't be to bothered to loos any of them.

Gabby is nice enough but she is really bland and if she went you wouldn't miss her

Now I saw Hardeeps bunion comment to Sal as a backhanded ageist swipe, especially as it came after he pretty much salivated over Gabbys shoes. Subtext is: Gabby is young and can get away with stilettos because she's sexy, Sal is older and must be reminded wearing the same shoes is unacceptable if it's not for male benefit in some way, therefore needed taking down a peg or two about bunions. I wonder if Hardee's realises once you get past the virtue signalling and right on comments about food banks he's basically a misogynist.

I've FINALLY got a chance to watch the Roxy interview. One point I don't know if anyone has mentioned yet - Emma pointed out that Roxy had been play fighting with many people, so why did she jump on that one incident? She replied to say that she and Ryan didn't have "that kind of tactile relationship", then "he had done it a few times."
So why on earth didnt she confront him or react in that way the first, or second, or third time he did it???? It's been so calculated, it's just so alarming.

'Connor Byrne - accused of violence - Jack and the Beanstalk Dec 2017
She was allegedly sacked from Dick Whittington Dec 2016 (following several incidents acc to co-star Mark Paterson)
Sam Attway - accused him of punching her - Rocky Horror 2013
Rhydian Roberts - similar allegations - Rocky Horror 2013
(plus another 4 from that production have a dim view of her)
She has also alleged sexual harassment within the theatre (being groped off-stage and being told her photo was wanked over)
She left Wedding Singer tour early.
and 21 co-stars from Emmerdale, some of whom worked alongside her for 3 years a decade ago took to twitter to call her out...

They cannot all be wrong, can they?'

I pinched this from another thread

Sally was moaning about her sore feet and heels before Hardeep even mentioned the bunion

I didn't see it like that sinister but concede he may have been having a pop - just not an ageist one.

More along the lines of 'you've got a bunion the size of a fist. Why are you cramming it into a stiletto and crippling yourself you vain bint?' or similar. I'd have said the same. Comfy feet are more important than pretty feet.

You are spot on crafty Roxanne did nothing but shadowbox. They all did it. So why was Ryan the only trigger? I call boulechit.

I reckon Hardeep walks away because arguing with idiots isn't fun.

I didn't know she had claimed about Rhydian back in 2013, why would she agree to do panto this year with him then?

I think Roxy was originally after Hardeep because she knew that he had history regarding inappropriate behaviour with a woman. First she threw herself in the pool and then she went to town on him when he roasted her, even though his explanation was very clear and she had totally taken it the wrong way.

I think it was just pure luck that she didn't have the opportunity to pin something on him. For example, if she'd walked in on him when he was adjusting his clothes, had his top raised and his whole lower half on show, she would have made something of that I reckon.

On a side note, I do wish Hardeep would put some clothes on. When people are evicted and you see the 'best bits' from the beginning, Hardeep had his lovely shirts on and his turban all neat and tidy and he looked great. Now he can't even be arsed to put a top on. Shame.

Fairenuff, agree that she at least tested the waters with Hardeep to see where she could take it. I think he had the measure of Roxy from the start and is intelligent enough to stay away from her. I actually think she had done her research on most of the housemates and would have moved on to someone else if it hadn't "worked" with Ryan. You only have to look at the multiple past alleged allegations to see she quite freely moves from one victim to the next.

I agree that Hardeep would have been a target too. He was the one she spent time talking to on launch night and she always had that "concerned" look on her face when he spoke to Chloe, probably trying to set him up as a pervert.
