Big Brother ITV2 - Thread 5.

[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

Carrying on from the last thread. This may be the last Big Brother 2026 thread, seeing as how it finishes next weekend (I think!)

.

Really glad Philip was evicted yesterday but can’t believe Rochelle is still in there.

I think Rochelle is a racist but she’s very much the type who finds certain people of colour “acceptable”.

Lynx would be acceptable in her eyes because he’s well spoken, muscular, manly, non confrontational. Lynx does not fit her stereotype of a black man so he’s ok.

Rochelle definitely has issues with women especially black women. She was ok in front of Tiffany but that’s because she is famous.

Rochelle is a nasty piece of work who could upset anyone given half the chance.

I, like Rochelle, am a white woman in her 50s. Probably similar backgrounds etc. I have met many Rochelles over the years. Always in the right. Narrow minded people who only mix with people who they think are acceptable socially and financially. A product of being a teenager during the Thatcher years. Me, me, me… Loadsamoney and fuck everyone else.

Valid points.

For me though, it's just a meaningless/endurance game show. It's not that deep, and I'm not watching to relate to or 'support' any of them, just watching to be entertained. It's trash TV if we're to be honest with ourselves, and I enjoy it for that reason (much to my shame/chagrin!)

The Charlotte comments were 🫣 stuff. The comments to Yas were also 🫣 Rochelle is one of these people who voices what, probably, lots of people are thinking but are too polite/considerate/empathetic to actually say. Yas, for example, is in horrendous physical condition; it's impossible not to notice (I don't think Yas is lazy, I think she's physically unable to do much more than move herself from A to B).

It's cringe TV that I, personally, don't take at all seriously. If one of these fame hungry wannabes has to win, then it should be the one who has, authentically, provided the most entertainment.

Who do we want out first? I want Frankie to go so if votes stop mid week I wonder if we will get more votes afterwards? In that case I’d probably vote to save Catrin as Frankie just annoys me no end with his “big secret” that no one gives two shits about

It finishes on Thursday but the reunion show is on Friday. I'm disappointed Rochelle is still there. And if she did say something that's too offensive to show, she should have been removed from the house. I'd like Sam to win.

If 2 go mid-week, I think it'll be Cat and Frankie.

I'm sure it said on the graphic that votes would freeze Tuesday morning, then there'd be another 5 free votes. I think Catrin should be out first, she's made zero impact.

OMG, that made me howl! 😆

Also glad to see the back of Tiffany Pollard. I thought she was awful. Brought nothing to the house IMO. She was just plain nasty.

Glad Rhianna and Philip have gone. Rochelle next! (I split my votes in the end... 1 for Rochelle, 2 for Rhianna, and 2 for Philip.)

Good result. Lots of cheers for Twinks and Sam 🤗

Ooo I reckon frankie might get quite a few votes 🤔 completely undeserved!

Wonder whether that influencer boy will come back for the reunion, the one from the first week

The thing with itv is they dont want to be sued, but the whole point of reality tv is we see everything! Not what producers want us to see 😫 - how can it harm someone if their own comments are shown to us?!

I think the best tactical vote to stop Rochelle winning is to vote for Twinks. I don't see any of them as winners really, they're all a bit meh. Rochelle is in for a chance of winning because she is a big personality who brought the entertainment but she isn't a nice person.
I do quite like Omar, which I know will be an unpopular opinion but I think he is young and still learning. The way he spoke to Rhianna wasn't acceptable but I don't believe it came from a bad place and he just needed some guidance. There are moments where he seems like a genuinely kind and intelligent person who's open to learning and growing.

I’m voting Yasmin to win, had issues with her but she has made me laugh the most.

I wouldn’t mind if Sam or Lynx won (don’t understand why people dislike Lynx so much, he’s a fence sitter but he is nice enough) Sam has irritated me a couple of times though with the performative ranting to himself.

I think Frankie and Omar should go next.

Off topic but have you watched the series on Prime? Highly recommended. I loved it. 😍

I don't think Rochelle will win, and if there had been a third person up last night I think she would have been out. I reckon the vote count was very close last night, with probably 32% for Philip, 30% for Rhianna, and 28% for Rochelle or something like that. (So 90% for the 3 of them, with Sam and Twinks only getting 10% of the vote between them.)

I can't find the percentage breakdown anywhere so that's just a guess...

Sam or Twinks will win I think. Yasmin will come third. I think Rochelle will be out next.

I'm well behind and just watching the start of last night's episode. The music from Psycho is playing, waking the HMs up. Apropos of absolutely nothing else, Twinks says something like, "That's from Psycho, the original horror film". And that's a classic example of her announcements that would irritate the hell out of me. 100% conviction, 10% expertise or evidence.

I think Rochelle has got a chance of winning. There are many people who think “she says it like it is”. The very people who may be tempted to vote Reform in the next general election because they think Farage “says it like it is”. People like Rochelle because they see her as anti-woke and think this is a very good thing.

I think it will come down to Twinks and Rochelle in the final. Twinks will get my 5 votes because at her core, I think she is a decent person. Although it’s only Big Brother and it’s not that deep, decent people winning over nasty people is still important.

Rochelle can’t win !!!
so self centred, narrow minded, foul mouthed unpleasant woman !
behaved herself when The Tiff was in, started gobbing off and showing off the minute Tiff left -
ugh if she wins it says being a foul person wins …

Sam or Twinks or Catrin or Yas or Linx to win . All these seem to be decent people

100%

I want Twinks or Sam to win but it won't surprise me if Rochelle wins. Helen Wood and Aaron whatshisname both won their series but came out to booing and jeering. I even remember when BBBOTS was presented by Emma Willis from the garden and Aaron's friend called in and called him a back stabber who'd do anything to win. 😆

Completely agree!

I wonder if Phillip and Rihanna pairing off was because she said something that just couldn't be ignored anymore to the house!

I feel like she might win, honestly. Vile woman

People on twitter are asking for rochelle to be exposed as well 👀

Yes I feel like we should be informed what it was she said for transparency. We don’t want to find out after voting as people who do vote for her may have second thoughts when they find out what it is

Reminds me that Omar tried to say something to her about it as well the other day. If it was a race thing then I think Tiffany would’ve come down on her harder.

Oh i missed this! 👀

If Rochelle had said anything remotely racist, she'd've been removed or officially warned at the very least. Whatever she's said, it's clearly not been worthy of warning. Perhaps she's been gender critical? It could be anything, Rhianna cosied up to Philip because she heard Rochelle being boo'ed. I don't believe for one moment there was an underlying matter of principle for either Rhianna or Philip!

I can understand people disliking Rochelle given her curt and cutting manner, and her often unpleasant plain speaking, but why cynically (and it IS unreasonably cynical, because viewers are well aware BB has a zero tolerance approach to racism) attribute something, potentially character destroying, to her just because you happen to not like her on big brother!? Anyone engaging in that type of character destroying vendetta has a bigger integrity issue than Rochelle, I'm afraid.
