Oh dear, Oh dear! Big brother are in trouble following over 600 complaints to Ofcom following Channel 4′s decision to put an evicted Big Brother contestant back in the house. As I mentioned in an earlier post I think the whole thing has turned into a farce of gigantic proportions now.

According to Media Guardian four of the nine evicted housemates have a chance of returning to the main house, they will enter the second house in a live show on Wednesday. Following the regular Friday night eviction, the remaining housemates (main house) will then get to choose which one they want to return back into the house. I doubt they will be told that the person they choose has a chance to take the money away from them !!

Sure they are trying to placate viewers by saying the money will be donated to charity, it simply doesn’t wash with me. Endemol have also said they have seen record breaking voting since the announcement was made on Friday night.

“It is a record breaking vote,” the source said. “We have never had a bigger response in this time period. People love a storm but the truth is this appears to be one of our better moments. There is a massive appetite for it. In the time we have had it is way ahead of anything else for this series. It has clearly caught the imagination and it is on course to beat everything.”

Only time will tell if Ofcom act on the number of complaints, 600 for any tv programme is a lot in anyone’s eyes, isn’t it ?

I now know Big brother have lost the plot. Ok, let me start from earlier tonight, Mikey was first to go followed 40 minutes later by Susie – both evicted. In my opinion that was certainly the right choice, Mikey had become a prat this last week and all Susie did for her entire stay was moan about hi-gene, drink bucket loads of tea and complain about the boys farting and picking noses! Why spend over £4000 to get into a show you had no intention of letting yourself go and join in with the fun?

Davina then announced that four ex-house mates would be up to the public vote and the most popular ex house mates would then move into the house next door with one of those four eligible to go back into the main house. I don’t like this idea, Big brother have messed around with the rules all series and it’s just pathetic, I just wish we could go back to earlier BB’s when things were so much better. I had so wanted to get hooked into this year’s series but I more or less gave up after week three, the producers got the quality of house mates all wrong.

Anyway back to tonight. Why oh why oh why can the ex house mate who gets voted back into the main house next week be eligible to win the main prize ? This really does suck. I might be on my own here but there’s no surprise that Nikki will be the one to go back in and given her popularity out of the house she’s going to win the main prize. I find it all sad. I’m just glad I don’t waste my money on this crazy reality show any more. I can’t …

Interesting times ahead in Big Brother UK this week following a “malfunction” when the names of those up for eviction were announced. Only Imogen’s name was clearly heard which meant that Aisleyne and Glyn were safe as Big brother always announces names in alphabetical order. It has now been leaked by a national newspaper that three others will be joining Imogen for eviction on Friday. They are Susie, Mikey and Jennie. According to the bookmakers Mikey is now a certain to leave the house on Friday but who knows, only you decide!!

The race to win seems to be clear cut with Pete and Glyn aiming to be the next Big brother winner with support for the Welshman growing daily. If it had been down to just Imogen and Susie I think Imogen would be going but the bookies have seen something they don’t like in Mikey this week and the results could be very interesting. I’d be delighted if jennie gets to stay another week, she’s without doubt my favourite of all the females in the house. That said I wouldn’t shed a tear if Susie was eliminated, what has she done since going in the house expcept made a cup of tea every five minutes and be a mother hen to the house mates.

Another interesting development in the house over the last few days is Jennie and Pete’s relationship but Glyn threw his weight into the mix by spooning Jennie earlier today, Jennie loving every minute of it apparently. Yet again we see another love triangle in this house, will this mean the end of Jennie’s stay? Who knows, watch and find out.

An emotional episode tonight, a combination of highlights and an eviction saw the prisoners released and all received letters from home. Unfortunately Pete being a former prisoner (he swapped places with Richard before knowing about the secret beach) wasn’t allowed his letter and he took it hard.

Richard heard that his mum was surviving Chemotherapy and Glyn that his family were proud. The rest of the house mates were in tears as the letters were read. Quite easily the most emotional part of Big brother this year.

On to the eviction, the result was expected and we saw the back of both Spiral and Michael, both receiving the fewest amount of save votes from the public. How the hell Susie can still be in the house after all she does is drink tea is beyond me. I’ll be glad when she goes, she certainly doesn’t deserve to be in the final five.

All three groups received boos when Davina introduced the couples during the channel 4 highlight show but by far the less were for Pete and Richard. Spiral and Michael received the most vociferous negativity from a partisan crowd.

I didn’t expect to write another entry on Big brother following my earlier one this afternoon but channel 4 have surprised us all by announcing who is up for eviction a day early – this means Dermot won’t get to do his stupid walk in the camera run in his zorro cape while BB announces who’s up !

In a twist to the norm following the “best friends” task the following couples will face eviction on Friday:-

Richard and Pete

Spiral and Michael

Susie and Imogen.

This is a difficult one for me to guess who will go but given two will leave the house this Friday I’m guessing Spiral and Michael will receive less votes than S and I. Richard and Pete will be safe thanks to Pete’s popularity. I am shocked that Ash and Jennie aren’t up given how many votes both tend to get on an individual basis. The twist this week is that C4 have announced that the viewers will vote to save a HM and not evict them.

Glyn and Mikey – no shock there (as long as they did nominate who they wanted to evict !) -both are well liked especially Glyn who seems to have a cult following in and out of the house !!! Even his Welshness has died down in recent weeks and given the numerous mentions in the first month or so I am amazed !! Anyone else have any opinions on the pairings up this week ?
