Big Brother Thread #8

[TellingBone]

Final week. Who goes? You decide.

That Tom is bitter. Glad he’s out. Not sure who l will be voting out tonight. Yesterday was very interesting. Was Olivia sucking up to the others last night? Look forward to watching it. No, l can’t , l am out tonight. I will make sure that l don’t read this thread until l have caught up with BB on Thursday, sometime!

I love Henry but can't vote for him after his glorifying of Boris Johnson

Two votes for Henry, two votes for Yinrun and one for Jordan. In negotiation with DD.

I second the thanks for the live feed commentary - No way I can stay up that late and it’s great to hear much more than they can show in the edit.

So is someone being evicted on Thursday or is that it till Friday now?

Someone is being evicted tonight, and we don’t know about Thursday yet, but I guess someone will be evicted then too, and it will be a final four for Friday.

Don't mind who wins the £100k but I do mind if the next 48 hours end up being edited as the Jordan and Henry show. I appreciate that those two have the story at the moment and all the rest only have their singing and dancing around etc to broadcast but I'm actually a bit bored with J & H's relationship. (Sorry J-H fans! 🤷‍♀️)

A flicker in his eyes as a new thought entered his thick brain before being extinguished

I’m not bored with J&H but it would be patently artificial if they suddenly take to making a Love-Island style bed monster in the final three days of the show.

It would obviously be lovely if they go on to have a successful relationship outside the show. (Jordan and I have something in common in our careers, though separated by about 30 years.)

I think for the people who have reached the last few days they all deserve to get air time so I also hope it's not portrayed as all about Henry & Jordan though I do like them as a couple.

Not particularly keen on Jordan but he has played the game to perfection.
Henry is bland and has made his personality all about Jordan.
Olivia has only undergone a change of attitude because she realised how she and her mates were coming across and panicked.
Would prefer Yinrun to win. Despite the tears I feel like she's genuine.
Meh to the other 2.

Just caught up as I couldn’t watch last night but managed to stay off socials until I had seen it!
YES my Jordan stays ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
love him! He’s definitely my winner!
henry and Yinrun second and third please

Also can’t believe how Tom was so moany and aggressive, and then jenkin spoke about how he felt in the final say but Tom totally chickened out!

I suspect Henry isn’t bland in real life - it’s just that his enthusiasms didn’t really have much place in the house.

Jordan has been fascinating because of his self proclaimed lack of sociability and touchy feely-ness - both so at odds with the essence of being locked in a house with strangers. Particularly when the whole point is to ingratiate yourself with as many of them as possible. Such a weird, unlikely choice of participant.

I do feel that 6 weeks was way too short for this series. Hopefully next year we will have a summer show of about 10 weeks!

Was so happy to see Jordan stay though. Wish we had more time to watch Jenry blossom

Tom really did throw Jenkin under the bus. Jenkin went first with this damp squib of an embarrasing speech of “You all sing too much” and “Remember why you’re here” (to take part in BB which is what they’re doing?). Then Jordan clearly sacked off plans to follow and went with a sarcastic witty speech peppered with affection. Then Tom’s big moment arrives - the moment he was going to ‘tell everyone exactly what he thought of them’. And he says “Love you guys just be yourselves”. Jenkin got right stitched up!

And of course - Henry was up for eviction early in the show, presumably because his natural way of being amongst strangers he hadn’t chosen grated on the other housemates. He obviously had to learn quite quickly to blend in better - so becoming less like his former self.

I wonder if he will be different in the outside world now? Aside from the fame aspect.

How I want it to go:

1. Jordan
2. Noky
3. Olivia
4. Henry
5. Yinrun
6. Matty

How I think it'll go:

1. Jordan
2. Henry
3. Yinrun
4. Olivia
5. Matty
6. Noky

Maybe Matty and Olivia the other way around.

I love Noky but think she can be forgettable. I think if it were a longer series she'd probably become a favourite.

Henry was nominated for not doing enough, cooking or washing up. I don’t know if he has started mucking in, but I think the nominations have become about the arguments now instead. I think now that Jordan and Henry have kissed there isn’t really anywhere to go from there, and I imagine coverage will not just be about them.

I actually looked at the application form for BB when it came out! I didn't bother because I'm so uninteresting I thought I'd obviously never get picked!

But tbh I think I'm more interesting than Chanelle, Tom, Jenkin etc.

I wonder what made them get chosen.

I'd love to experience it but don't think I could actually do it.

I couldn't leave my cats for that long 🤣

I wonder if Henry would initiate a kiss with Jordan. I can't imagine it. It seems like the whole terms of their relationship have been dictated by Jordan and Henry has been very passive and just grateful for any signs of affection that Jordan throws his way.

It was sobering to see how all the older people were slung out pdq.

It would be a shame if BB became another children’s playground. We have Love Island for that.

Henry has been very passive and just grateful for any signs of affection that Jordan throws his way.

Yes … Until his diary room chat after Jordan started the kissing. Henry was surprisingly hard headed about it all; clearly grateful for the attention but he did say that if Jordan didn’t behave well to him he would not be putting up with it. In a sense it’s good that he had that earlier foretaste (the ghosting) of the need to protect himself.

I like them all now except dog Matty. Not sure why.

I dont think that Noky Olivia or Yinrun are fake. Yinrun has been the same all the way through. Noky edited to be boring but have seen her playful
side. And Olivia freely admits when snd gets things wrong and seems to be genuine.

Good point @Aixellency. I hope Henry can transfer that resilience to the outside and it works out well for them both.
