Big Brother - the last lap

[RoxyNotFoxy]

I'm starting a new thread because the other one's a bit full now (and seems to have gone dead as well).

Considering how much time Rex spent bigging My Girlfriend up before she even came into the nouse, telling us she was a princess, etc, surely the least he can do is be loyal to her now. But here he is apportioning blame for bad feeling between them and Kat and Mo, when Mo was in jail. My Girlfriend, needless to say, wasn't present:-

"Nicole said, 'Why do we have to have a campaign for Mo today' blah blah blah. But anyway, you know. Nicole's only bringing problems to this house. For me, anyway. You know, she's obviously not grown up enough to be here. What she has to understand, what she doesn't understand, she says, 'I can't stand being around theeese people', What you have to understand is that in here that's the whole point of being here, that you're around people that you wouldn't normally socialise with. And I understand that more than anyone, you know. I'm not similar to anyone here. I'm not similar to Nicole either."

Great. Short of saying "Get Nicole out", what more could he do to make his wishes clear? My Girlfriend has become My Burden.

still cant belive Rex's poses

Shmaefull and cringeworthy

Blergh! I expect Rachel will be coming to a BBC Wales radio Programme/TV programme near me soon. How boring. I wish it had been Rex or Sara. Dullest Big Brother EVER!

they are going to have to pull something special out of the bag for the 10th anniversary if they expect me to watch next time. Hrrmmph.

ten years... and they did say they will be back next year. Joy .

I'm glad that the final 3 were the nicest of the housemates. Maybe Endemol should remember that when they are auditioning next year.

She isn't boring. She is quite extraordinary on a very profound level.

I think something is amiss that people have trouble seeing that. They seem to be expecting more, but the emptyness is in them, not Rachel - that's my opinion

Agree Monkey, niceness prevails ... my faith in humankind is restored after being subjected to awful people like Alex and Dennis.

If being a decent human being is boring then I am glad to be boring and dull ...

I too hope that Endemol focus on decent people having fun next year and not exploiting the more dodgy aspects of some peoples personalities.

I hated seeing all the nastiness, bitching and gang forming, lets see some good old fashioned fun and frolics with lots more focus on funny tasks etc. We can still have the eccentric individuals but no more obviously angry and 'chip on the shoulder' people please.

I'm sure BB will be redeemed if that's the case.

The best parts of BB are the tasks and watching them all in the montages with their various costumes and 'missions' is really good viewing, imo. I loved that video remake they did early on with Stu, Rex, Dale etc on the running machines. and I even liked Thriller despite who was leading it. The rows make for compelling but depressing viewing... I'm glad the early bullies were ejected and the later bullies lost out to the nicer housemates.

Clips from Rachel and Sara's treatment at the hands of Rex, Darnell and Mo should be shown to kids at secondary school to demonstrate how deflections and lack of reaction can deflate a bully rather than rising to a row at every opportunity. Rex only succeeeded in making himself look a king-sized cock with his relentless nastiness, trying to get a rise out the those girls (and Lisa to some extent).

Still think it's a very interesting social experiment despite all the wannabe behaviour from some.

What made this year particularly dodgy was the bias shown towards Rex by the producers. For the last two weeks I can remember no one coming out of the Diary Room with the laminate for a new task except him. He was treated as de facto head of house, the master of ceremonies. He had pole position every time. And of course, it makes sensse that one of the last tasks was a cookery class overseen by him, in the light of what we know about his ambitions to be a TV chef. He had his back scratched all the way.

Very glad he didn't win.

totally agree RNF
