There's no one called Yurin in the house.

My bad.. completely wrong 😑
As for the blinking comment, I had no idea this was a symptom-maybe all the stress of her name being constant called out on the live stream is causing her to blink more through stress. Still can't stand her.

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2023 09:36

I love blinking I do

Gothambutnotahamster · 31/10/2023 09:38

@JaneJeffer I loved Helen - she was a sweetheart.

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2023 09:43

I'm not getting the scripted thing at all. Surely it would be way more OTT drama like MAFS if so.

Noky told Trish to remind her to put her bonnet back on when they got back.

purpleme12 · 31/10/2023 09:51

I'm not getting the scripting thing either

Thesearmsofmine · 31/10/2023 09:54

I also dislike Kerry but don’t doubt her tic is real. Poor woman is probably stressed and tired from being disturbed through the night. I have to say I did feel bad for her last night when that message from Farida came through about her, it felt unnecessary to do that alongside her hearing the chants.

They are all moaning about Dylan and the food but he is right. We are in a world where everything is available to us 24/7 via our phones, like if Trish fancies some chicken at 2am she can just get some via deliveroo or pop to the local 24 hour supermarket, so needing to ration out a weeks shop isn’t something a lot of people have to do. It’s annoying me that they still don’t seem to get it even though they are now stuck with not much food.

Olivia has annoyed me in the last couple of episodes, waking everyone up with Paul the other day and being so rude about it too and then shouting last night. I get it’s frustrating but like Henry says there are better ways to deal with it especially when it’s directed to someone quiet like Yinrun who she knows won’t shout back, kind of comes across as a bit like bullying.

Noky is so controlled and careful all the time and so vain, it’s quite off putting. She’s beautiful of course but surely there is more to her than that?!

I don’t dislike Paul as much as others seem too. I mean he’s annoying at night etc but I think sometimes he is blamed for things that other people get away with, I noticed housemates going on about the lettuce, when it was Tom and Olivia who instigated it. And when they were going on about him writing Olivia down for the kiss game and saying how awful it was, I didn’t really see it as an issue, like he said he knows his girlfriend and would know if that kind of thing would bother her or if she would laugh about it.

The dishes drama obv wasn't staged.
Not entertaining but I prefer it to the fake tasks.
The flash vote for eviction only lasted 20 mins.
Hopefully it is Kerry and not Dylan. Polls were not that far apart.

clappyjay · 31/10/2023 10:20

I’m not getting the scripted thing. There haven’t really been any ‘storylines’ and a lot of the ‘drama’ has been mundane arguments over food and chores.

Aquarius1234 · 31/10/2023 10:21

Imo ITV Big Brother is very safe and bland.
Hopefully CBB isn't as dull. Or maybe not..

Aquarius1234 · 31/10/2023 10:22

You can see when the credits roll if there is specific storyliners like love island etc.
I'll take a look.

Aquarius1234 · 31/10/2023 10:24

Of course the highlights is cut and pasted and even out of time sync...
That's why live feed works for me. Least it's not edited down into 2 minutes conversations.

ILostMyself · 31/10/2023 10:30

I didn’t realise the vote would only be open for 20 minutes and missed the cut off as I was watching it 10 minutes behind schedule on recording and then didn’t rush. Totally missed my chance to vote for Kerry!

purpleme12 · 31/10/2023 10:39

I don't like the whole flash eviction and it being done when we couldn't see it

clappyjay · 31/10/2023 10:49

So has somebody already been evicted (last night?) and we get to watch it tonight

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2023 10:55

Did they wake them up and say get out to fuck or what?

HurdyGurdy19 · 31/10/2023 11:13

I kind of hope that Kerry doesn't go tonight.

What will that do to the minds of the other HMs, having heard the "get Kerry out" chants on three occasions.

On the other hand, I want her out so we don't have to see any more of her faux tantrums.

I'd also like to see Dylan survive another eviction, so see the HMs' reaction to that.

ILostMyself · 31/10/2023 11:13

Yes someone got evicted after a flash vote last night and we will see who it was tonight

HurdyGurdy19 · 31/10/2023 11:25

Noky just seems like a Stepford Wife. Always immaculately presented, and never saying anything controversial. I really don't like her, and I don't think she'd be missed at all if she was evicted.

NowNumber5 · 31/10/2023 11:32

I’m a bit perplexed how none of the housemates questioned Noky when she came out of the diary room after she was given the secret task by BB.
I mean, it wasn’t like she was discreetly asked to do it while she was in the diary room for something else. It was announced over the tannoy in the house saying “Will one of the housemates please come to the diary room” - they all heard it and it was Noky who went running in. So how come no one asked her about what did BB want when she went back into the living quarters? 🤷🏼‍♀️

MadEyeJudy · 31/10/2023 11:35

All programs that are based on 'reality' have a story creator...even 'Springwatch' ,or how would they manage to summarise 24hrs streaming from several cameras into a watchable program. I suspect we are now more tuned into how much we are manipulated by the edit than we were when OG BB was on in the noughties. I do miss the constant stream we had back then though. As much as I don't like Kerry (the histrionics!) I am not comfortable with her being sent out to a baying mob..I can't see that being allowed to happen to the previous evictees....(rightly so too!)

notmyoldusername · 31/10/2023 11:36

I didn’t realise blinking could be a symptom of MS and feel I should apologise for my ignorance! Sorry if I offended anyone. Kerry is so exaggerated with her behaviour that I had assumed it was intentional.

clappyjay · 31/10/2023 12:24

I still can’t see what stories they’ve created though. With a lot of the episodes it feels like they’ve struggled to find any entertaining footage to put together. We are shown a lot of boring conversations and most of the arguments are over the food situation.

I think it would have been a bit more entertaining if they’d actually put effort into creating storylines!

Agree, there is no storyline. NOTHING has happened. Yesterday focused on some wet dishes put on top of some dry ones. But that is the staggering part, there are clearly staged parts of this show and yet the Producers still can't make it interesting. That's a special kind of inept. I think this is the bit I underestimated to begin with, that the Producers have no idea what they're doing. They are terrified of any situation that will cause offence (as are the contestants I expect) hence you have a sanitised show.

If they had selected candidate personality types that would bounce off each other, stuck to tried and tested methods (face to face noms etc) then there's no need to create storyline, they create themselves.

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2023 12:42

face to face noms
Those have always been a rarity

TellingBone · 31/10/2023 12:53

It's subjective isn't it, what we individually find entertaining?

Personally, and from the psychological aspect, I find everyday interactions between HMs fascinating. I've mostly enjoyed it so far, apart from the agenda pushing of the 'triangle'. I do enjoy [what we are able to see of] the live feed most of all. And I'm really happy they didn't populate the place with wannabes.

As to tonight's [last night's] eviction, I agree with those who say it's been manipulated to enable a no-crowd Kerry exit. If she isn't voted out, then maybe they'll evict two - or even all three?
