Kerry reminds me of David Brent.

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 19/10/2023 23:51

Thank you @Cheeseistheword for saying what I've been feeling. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels uncomfortable.

seeusername · 19/10/2023 23:54

Agreed. We’re on mumsnet though, it’s not surprising in the slightest.

Reminds me of paddy from emmerdale twitter agrees !

Ladybrrrd · 20/10/2023 07:33

I think it was good of Hallie to admit to what they had been writing. She owned up. Olivia tried to say "we weren't trying to do secret messages"?! Um, yes you were! I'm sure neither of them would have admitted had they not been caught, but that's true of pretty much everyone who's been talking about others behind their back. As we've seen from Kerry, lack of remorse isn't exclusive to men! What a non-apology!

Unithorn · 20/10/2023 07:37

I think Hallies age is probably more relevant than anything else, 18 is super young to be in a high pressured environment knowing you're being filmed for TV.

Sheisready · 20/10/2023 07:38

I'm catching up with last night's episode and haven't finished yet or read the rest of everyone's comments past the bit where they've sent Hallie and Olivia to jail.

I am actually really annoyed at how BB has treated this. I said they better not treat it as a big silly joke and that's exactly what they've done. Angry

MrTiddlesTheCat · 20/10/2023 08:31

I was annoyed that they only got sent to jail in the garden. But then I realised it was pissing it down so it was a good punishment.

Yinrun is getting on my nerves with her woe is me act. She named a lot of people who she chats to and likes so why is she saying nobody speaks to her. Obviously everybody isn’t going to click with everybody. She can see that is happening in the house.

I get it. You can be in a group and still feel alone. She is surrounded by native English speakers and she won't feel fully part of full speed conversations. She will feel isolated.

I know this because I'm in a similar situation, surrounded by non English speakers. I can speak the language enough to get by but do always feel slightly outside the group.

CherryCokeFanatic · 20/10/2023 08:55

Yinrun coming across as fake to me. I think she is very clever (potentially came here as a student? If so then has good grades clearly) and when she entered the house and said she was with her boyfriend it showed an older man clapping (admittedly it could be the young lad next to him) https://x.com/balf4our/status/1713667647433322603 I get sugar daddy vibes.

Her upset seemed to have been triggered by her exchange with Noky and Jenkin as she was entering the bedroom. She literally crossed Noky’s path in the doorway, Yinrun was entering, Noky was about to leave. They talk briefly about Yinrun helping Dylan with the cooking and then Noky leaves and Jenkin follows. I don’t think there was any malice at all, they’re just off to do whatever and thinking you’re going in to do whatever. I should also note Chanelle was sat at the dressing table doing makeup it’s not like she was completely abandoned. Yinrun had every ability to ask Noky and Jenkins what they were doing/where they were going and ask to join or say I’ll come with you.

Think it’s just manufactured drama to give the timid/I don’t truly understand English (she does)/woe betide me vibes.

That Katreya from years ago who had the happy happy happy vibes and broken English came across very fake after weeks of doing it. I hope Yinrun doesn’t continue down this path of acting like her language barrier is an issue when it really doesn’t seem to be and she has plenty of friends!

StrictlyComeback · 20/10/2023 09:51

Yinrun was the only housemate I actively liked until last night’s episode. She seems so nice and normal but it was very hard to understand what all the fuss was about. I could understand being a little down, feeling on the edge of things as a non native speaker, but she was having a full blown breakdown. It just didn’t add up somehow.

canina · 20/10/2023 09:58

Hallie and Olivia both kept saying "it was an innocent mistake" !
...and yet Hallie said "don't spell out any more" after N O......Hmm

NowNumber5 · 20/10/2023 10:03

The way BB announced the rule break was brilliant.
Matty was absolutely loving the drama of it all.
Kerry was desperately hoping she was not going to get pulled into it too.
I agree with PPs that it was a rubbish punishment, and treated as one big joke.

EddieHowesShithousingMags · 20/10/2023 10:05

Apparently Hallie gets another punishment tonight. I wish they’d just get booted out.

Rollergirl11 · 20/10/2023 10:06

It seems to be the same Big Brother voice all the time. I thought it used to change all the time didn’t it? I know there are different voices in the diary room but I thought it changed in the house too. Or am I misremembering?

Needanewname44 · 20/10/2023 10:16

Think the comments about Yinrun are disregarding that she is a non native speaker in a house with many accents /speeds of conversation. Lots of native English speakers do not have the patience or inclination to converse with non-native speakers. I imagine that is one of the reasons she is feeling isolated. Though she's internalising it as insecurities about how interesting she is. Plus, of course, there is a wide mix of people in the house and not everyone will be a fan of each other.

Also can't quite believe the trans-phobic/hate comments. I've never come across such brazen prejudice before (lucky me). Seriously ruins the tone of the thread.

NowNumber5 · 20/10/2023 10:21

Do we believe Hallie when she said that spelling out ‘N…O…’ was for
‘N…O…minated’ and not ‘N…O…ky’?

canina · 20/10/2023 10:41

N. O. 😅

Definitely was trying to spell Noky!!

AlphaAlpha · 20/10/2023 10:51

@CherryCokeFanatic it's not the older guy! When they received their photos earlier this week, her boyfriend is clearly around the same age.

Also agreeing, I felt like I must be the only one finding those posts uncomfortable to read.

AhBiscuits · 20/10/2023 11:21

Yinrun is getting on my nerves too. I really liked her but she needs to be happy with the friends she has and stop being so offended if people don't want to make small talk with her.

Rollergirl11 · 20/10/2023 11:30

I’ve just rewatched the exchange between Noki and Yinrun in last nights episode. If that is what Yinrun is referring to then she needs to get a grip. She caught Noki as she was entering the bedroom and Noki was exiting. They were stood in the doorway chatting about what Yinrun has just been doing and the conversation appeared to come to a natural end whereby Noki continued walking out of the bedroom. Yinrun didn’t give any inclination that she wasn’t finished with the conversation. Noki didn’t walk away from her mid sentence or anything. So what’s the problem? 🤷‍♀️

Ah good to know!
