I confess, I am watching it. Someone phoned me Monday night and told me Anne Widdie and Rachel Johnson were in there. I think Widdie is great , met her once when she was here canvassing.

It has been women only to celebrate 100 years of women given the vote, sadly men are going in tonight.

She's done really well.

I felt that Shane/Courtenay's explanation of why India felt as she did was much clearer than hers. Gave me a new slant on the issue.

Devorgilla Tue 09-Jan-18 22:28:06

Oh, decisions, decisions.

wot Tue 09-Jan-18 22:29:47

She was very gracious about being nominated.

Can't say I am unhappy at who is up, the Victim India and the dull Jonny.

Devorgilla I remember The Year of the Sex Olympics very well and the feeling of horror it aroused in me. The final reels where the audience laughed hysterically at the most chilling events ws truly terrible. The play can be found on You Tube.

Devorgilla Tue 09-Jan-18 23:08:34

Eleothan, thanks. I will look up on YouTube as I was so sure the reels had been destroyed. It really was a chilling programme and I still remember it vividly to this day.

I am tempted to watch it to see Rachel Johnson [how can a gene pool throw up such diverse people asRachel and her brother?],but do not really want to see Ann Widdecombe. If anyone wants to see/hear an old opinionated woman watch Miriam Margoles [sp] new programme where she travels across America. The main difference between her and Anne being that Miriam has a social conscience....

What is this obsession Some have about age? so nasty to dismiss Widdie as an OLD woman. more so from a supporter of a party leader only two years younger

This dig at a woman's age is nasty

Anniebach Wed 10-Jan-18 09:20:36

So back to the programme, will viewers vote India out or keep her in ?

DanniRae Wed 10-Jan-18 09:44:55

OUT - I hope Annie!!

wot Wed 10-Jan-18 10:01:58

I like Anne Widdicome! I remember seeing her on a programme on Victorian London. She has her principles and courage of her convictions. Age is irrelevant except for shallow concerns about " looks"

Anniebach Wed 10-Jan-18 10:16:46

I too like Anne , she isn't trying to be liked but not causing rows or seeking attention .

Anniebach Wed 10-Jan-18 10:17:20

Hope so Danni , hope so

Devorgilla Wed 10-Jan-18 11:27:52

I will be surprised if she is voted out as she is prime viewing. Ann is rumoured to be the highest paid this year, with India somewhere in the middle. CBB will want its money's worth and will not want audiences to fall which they will if there is no controversy in the house.
You don't have to be old to be opinionated and at least Ann justifies her opinion. Politically, I don't agree with her on much but I do on the 'pain' thing although I was yelling at the screen - "What about the pain of austerity, Ann?" I think Jess got upset because deep down she knew Ann was right on this and felt embarrassed. Still didn't justify her nominating Ann IMO. Roll on tonight's fix, but first, the reality show of PMQs.

glammanana Wed 10-Jan-18 12:10:13

Anniebach I somehow don't think India will be voted out viewers will want to keep her in for the ongoing conflict she is causing among the housemates,I do think she was secretly delighted to be nominated last night and thinks she will be saved and if she is saved her opinion of herself will be massive I think.(I maybe totally wrong but hey-ho)

Anniebach Wed 10-Jan-18 12:43:27

Glamma, I hope you are wrong, if she stays in she will become more of a Diva . If Anne goes I will not watch the rest of the series, her politics doesn't come into this programme or her age , I though Rachel was right to say she was proud of her brothers too.

glammanana Wed 10-Jan-18 12:52:06

Annie Like yourself her politics don't concern me she just comes across when ever interviewed away from the Government she comes across as a real Lady and very concerned as to what the topic is,she reminds me so much of my nana in looks and her facial mannerisms of disapproval.lol.

wot Wed 10-Jan-18 21:32:26

Yikes!!

wot Wed 10-Jan-18 22:00:17

No fun tonight

Nannylovesshopping Wed 10-Jan-18 22:03:09

Agree wot it was boring tonight

wot Wed 10-Jan-18 22:30:43

Dull as ditchwater or a pikestaff...wotever that is

Anniebach Wed 10-Jan-18 22:31:39

Soooo boring to night,

wot Wed 10-Jan-18 22:33:00

Ahm mixin me metafors nah!

DanniRae Thu 11-Jan-18 09:10:50

But Anne had a bit of a make-over! I think it's really sweet how the other women treat her........doing her hair and make-up........and she clearly enjoys it. Good for her (and for them)!!
