Celebrity Big Brother (ITV1) and Late & Live (ITV2) - Thread 2 - no spoilers please

[mumofoneAlonebutokay]

So we're three days in Mickey Rourke has managed to insult: Jojo and the entire LGBTQ+ community Drag queens Patsy's cooking Donna's weight He's had a telling off from Big Brother re his comments and discussion of nominations Mickey has been nominated by Jojo, who had a killer nomination, and is the first housemate to be up for eviction.

Daley Thompson is immune from being nominated, thanks to Mickey. Trisha has a lot of stories Donna wears an LED mask to bed Jack P Shepherd has been mute 🤐 so far (as his biggest hater, I love it 🤭)

Contains discussion of the spoiler content shown on Late and Live (ITV2) but no further spoilers please 🙏 No spoilers from the live stream or the tabloids Here's the link to thread one: www.mumsnet.com/talk/tellyaddicts/5307304-celebrity-big-brother-starts-mon-7th-april-on-itv

It's on later tonight, is this because they are going to show the altercation?

I like eccentrics and oddballs but that's not what MR is.

Homophobic misogynist.

No, it's because Grace is on beforehand, it was always 10pm

Yep

They will have to show at least some of the altercation and Mickey being told to leave as that is what the viewers want to see. And, rightly or wrongly, they must know they will now lose a lot of viewers now Mickey and Michael have gone.

I'm interested to see how the altercation come about given that I think Chris has a game plan. Not saying that Mickey's behaviour is acceptable (before anyone jumps on me!) but just wondering why it was Chris of all people. Unless he called him out on his women hating 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just been reading that MR also made Ella cry too.

WHY isn't BB on at the weekends,FFS?

Morning all

Cbb is a tv show 😭

Some of us don't lead exciting lives! My life is cooking chicken nuggets and micromanaging my child's trip to the toilet 😄😄

Cbb is a bit of escapism, as it this thread!

Yes, mickey rourke was a wrongun and his comments to jojo were immediately unacceptable - i stand by calling her a smug youth pastor because that's how she comes across 😕. She was quite patronising tbh. And she will now be super smug at having gotten rid of old bigot mickey.

That said, at 21, and with the life she's lived, she's never going to be completely likeable for me, so it is what it is, and I can sympathise with having to deal with mickey's comments.

I feel like, had we all known about his past, we would've had a very different reaction to his presence. That's down to ITV tbh, because i had no idea who he is until he entered the house!

He, alongside johnny Depp, belongs in hell

It's ridiculous that cbb isn't on on Saturdays, makes no sense

Lazy production staff I'd say. Channel 4 had 24/ 7 live feed and loads of updates.
BB on itv feels more like love island.

Agree, they shouldn't be getting it so wrong atp

She didn't get rid of him, he got rid of himself!

I have a very boring life, that's why I love BB and I also watch TOWIE ( shoot me now!) 😉

That's a step too far!

Towie 😬😬😄 x

Re ella

I didn't know that she was crying but mickey did say that she'd turn into an old bag

Ella wasn't crying about that?

It was just a random conversation in the bathroom.

Ella's desperate to avoid those tricky conversations isn't she?

I think that trisha and jack will be up for eviction next week

I wonder if trisha knows how she's come across

For gods sake they are a bunch of babies . It makes you wonder how some of these young ones cope in real life.

I don't think Trisha will be up, they're too cowardly to nominate her. Danny and Daley might.

In their situation I'd be cautious too.

You'd want to be very sure of the edit she's getting. They won't know that the public is seeing the one upping conversations etc.

Once she's up it will be clear that the public were on board but until that moment you'd not know.

I always think the ryan Thomas incident makes me realise that even if you are pretty certain you are in the right, you're nervous of what's been aired/cut etc

They shouldn't but that's EXACTLY what they do to get maximum viewing numbers. Every BB in the past whether celeb or otherwise has had people who the public will hate for various reasons. I don't know anything about the selection process for the civvies but the celeb version will be rich pickings for the producers to ponder over their choices. Perhaps they offer the gig to some celebs who would cause massive controversy but can't or won't sign up. MR may not have been a first choice but he's already said he hoped his profile would get a boost or words to that effect and that's what every single housemate is there to do. Producers will have rubbed their hands together when he signed. The fee may play a part 😀💰 but for some who haven't snorted away their fortunes it's not about the money it's about not being forgotten.

Yes his don't give a shit attitude got him booted out but it wasn't all in vein for him. Younger viewers won't have had a clue who he was and just saw this 72 yr old scruffy looking man upsetting people while we older viewers have discussed how the once charismatic actor is trying to remind us of his career which he no longer has. I'm not glad he's gone despite his awful comments. He's been on another planet since day one and was a ticking time 💣 so couldn't have stayed the course once he'd insulted and upset certain people. Two full weeks to go so what happens now? Do they bring in a replacement. Is Andrew Tate available 🥳

Probably how they have in here.
There's been a mix of shutting down the conversation (chris)
Jack ignored it until it went away
Ella's been walking away from it
Jojo had some stock responses

Seasoned, hardy stars cry on things like this (eg patsy) because it's an intense environment
