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

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Everyone needs a pissed-off pet.

Slow news day in the house based on tonight's episode. Although the pedometer task was amusing.

Using Hardeeps tactless approach as a main storyline is dull and has an expiry date.

How long is left? I want a new housemate!

Mozzie
I loved it too

I am surprised no-one went in late to replace Stormy - or was that Hardeep?
anne you are so right...a Hollywood Handshake for me is as bad as when Chris Tarrant used to put his hand on contestants' shoulders at th end of Millionaire. I always envisaged pointedly removing it whilst the credits rolled.

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

Listen while I know Roxanne has been totally in the wrong let’s not go down this route. It is still unfortunately the case that despite the #MeToo campaign women know that they may still have to put up with certain things or behave a certain way to get the job/promotion/whatever that they want. Whether it’s something they want like a film role or something they need like a minimum wage job in order to feed their kids, let’s not pretend it’s not still a very mysoginistic world out there.

I read that Rhydian didn’t know RP was being booked for the panto, so probably she didn’t know he was either?

Marthas it’s awful that they’ll get away with it, isn’t it.
Is BOTS om?

Pwoarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Its just started

Don't think I'll be up long though

Russell grant
Michelle Heston

And Richard Blackwood

More to the point, he claimed he signed up not knowing she'd be cast as the lead so he is somewhat relieved she has backed out.
I wrote the timeframe on another thread and she has allegedly had issues in at least two pantos and departed a show last year four months early 'on the advice of her doctor' but there was talk about problems with others. She also alluded to an older actress not supporting her (ie chucked a co-star under the bus) wrt her complaints.
But when you have 21 co-stars from a soap you spent significant time in and six co-stars from a touring production all saying you are difficult to work with at some point you need to take a look at yourself.

Dull bots panel.

I'm away to my bed.

Fillers or overuse thereof should be banned. Just saying.

That was my thought too!! Not a good look!! I'm out to a dull BBBOTs discussing a dull main show.

I can't face BOTS tonight. I'm watching the Corrie DNA programme but had to fast-forward through Kim Marsh as she is even more annoying than BOTS panellists.

Thanks for the updates.

I think dull too so will bid you all goodnight

Why do so many people hate Hardeep? I don't think there was much to take offence over 're the bunion or postage stamp comments. If Dan or Ryan said it, it would be laughed off. Hardeep has a much more dry sense of humour so his delivery is just different.
And why does his grumpiness piss everyone in the house off so much? He's not in their faces with anything, so why do they allow him to wind them up? He's TRYING to annoy them, and that's CBB heaven for viewers.

I'm half watching

It's dull

What that Woman was droaning on about I dunno

I kind of switched off

It's a boring night on the B.B. front

Yaaaawnnn

Hi. I’ve not been on for a couple of days, life getting in the way, boooo.
God it’s dull after all last week’s dramarama.
I actually don’t know who will go. In the house I’ve quite liked Sally. Hardeep has had some cracking moments but I’d not want to live with him. I think this will be the closest vote yet.

The only one that I genuinely think seems normal and likeable is nick.

I guess that having spent years in a Singaporean prison a few weeks in the BB house is nothing to Nick. Though, tbf Kirstie seems perfectly reasonable too - much more so than I expected for a Scientologist.

I've had to stop and gather my thoughts to remember who's left in there.

Ryan. Had a lot of unpleasant drama to put up with and handled that well from everyone else's point of view, now seems to be unwell. I'm just not that keen on him.

Dan. Very nasty past reputation but hasn't been too bad in the house. Doesn't shy away from speaking his mind and seems fair, then again he's not been worked up or provoked. Didn't know him before this.

Gabby. Really hasn't made much of an impression on me, didn't know her before either. I do think she's fairly perceptive about Hardeep's attitude and then his gushing apology rather than being flattered and taken in.

Kirstie and Nick I think I like best but we really haven't seen enough of either of them. I'm sure their best bits, or things other people say about them will contain all sorts we've not been shown.

Sally has had some good moments especially comforting Ryan and backing him up. Am sure she's been a rock to some. This week though she's revealing another side to her nature and it's not pretty, especially the way she talks about Hardeep. Also find it hard to get beyond the whole psychic medium thing.

Hardeep. Probably the most interesting housemate to observe from a viewer's perspective. Can imagine he's unpleasant to live with though, as is the whole food as love vibe, which smacks of control in the house. His personal habits, lack of consideration for others, bad language all the time and giving people the finger would be very wearing for me, that also seems his method of shutting people down and then complaining they don't want to discuss issues with him. I can quite see how he's out of his comfort zone with the majority of the housemates, but it doesn't seem like he's lasted with those he may have had more common ground. Agree that Nick's past experiences will have stood him in good stead for coping with the whole situation,

Overall I'd like Nick to win and see if it does him and his family some good for the future. I don't think he's got the best chance with the majority of voters though.

As usual, opinions are subject to change

I'm glad last night's was boring. I didn't get to see it because guests. One had no idea who RP was or about anything that happened last week.

I haven't seen any GBBO yet. Will watch it next week. Getting into the back to school routine is playing havoc with my viewing pleasure.

Just popping into say, yep y it's become dull now. Keep Hardeep in for the minimal dramas. And yes indeed sheldon ,step away from too many fillers people...
