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.

Malikaca came accross as a troublemaker .

Excuse my spelling tonight!

A lot of them are being rather two faced . Don't like Malika at all, talk about pot calling kettle!

I feel a bit sorry for Ann, she is so very different from the rest. I was surprised by her choice of Maggie to be nominated though.

I hadn't watched BB for years, but got hooked in this year as I liked the women only start to it.

Anniebach Fri 19-Jan-18 06:18:50

If Anne goes I doubt I will watch the rest, only watch it because of her, strange world that Amanda can talk of being in a threesome for a long time yet Anne gets mocked for being a virgin , both were choices which didn't affect anyone else.

I must admit I wasn't paying complete attention last night so could somebody explain why Ann nominated Maggi. Shouldn't it have been Daniel. I thought the twist in the nomination was that if somebody was saved they then had to nominate someone else in their place. Ann didn't save herself so why did she nominate and not Daniel.

Anniebach Fri 19-Jan-18 10:09:30

Maggie was nominated because she laughed at the childbirth thingy. She was cross wasn't she? Said she wouldn't trust Anne again, not really playing the game is she

Devorgilla Fri 19-Jan-18 11:05:37

Ann said she would have nominated Ashley if she didn't already have immunity. Why? I must have missed that bit somewhere. Yes, Maggie was cross. I think when Ann goes Malika and Shane/C will try to be the ones in control. I didn't like the way Malika shot down Andrew in flames when he was saying they were the ones who had put Ann on the pedestal. He also said Ann took herself out of situations she didn't like the tone of and left them to it. I think when she separated the 'early to bed' from the late ones Andrew realised she wasn't the spoilsport he thought she was and that her criterion of not causing harm to others was valid. Getting way too involved in this - get a life Devorgilla!

I felt for Maggie, after Anne nominated her, because she appears to be an ideal housemate. She joins in, doesn't cause trouble and seems to get on with everyone. I thought Anne's reason for choosing her was really feeble - I bet she was too scared to have chosen one of the more vocal ones. Shame on you Anne!
BUT I am really enjoying this series and can't wait to see who goes tonight.

Anniebach Fri 19-Jan-18 11:27:06

But Maggie doesn't have an opinion on anything, she just smiles most of the time ,staying under the radar perhaps,

I doubt Anne would be scared of anyone ?

seacliff Fri 19-Jan-18 14:55:05

I like Ann, from what I see of her. She is game for most things, direct and not manipulative like many there. I think she has enjoyed being with the younger girls at times, when they gave her a makeover and did her hair. She doesn't have any children or younger people in her life so this must have been quite an novel experience for her.

I just found some links, she is an animal lover which makes me warm to her.

Yay! Anne was saved. (I need to get out more!)

Anniebach Fri 19-Jan-18 22:33:58

Anne had the most votes to stay ?

I hope Maggie goes, silly to say Anne hurt her by nominating her

Yes Maggie out

Nannylovesshopping Sat 20-Jan-18 15:49:51

Hmmmm......I'm thinking Anne must be quite pleased that Rachel and Maggie have both gone, as the game hots up think they would have been formidable opponents, think Maggie was just biding her time, but for too long hahagrin

Anniebach Sat 20-Jan-18 16:36:52

I am disappointed that Maggie accused Anne of not do anything to help the girls in the Rochdale abuse case, Anne was never Home Secretary as claimed by Maggie, shame on her for using Rochdale . A very angry and unkind person emerged, pity.

wot Sat 20-Jan-18 17:02:35

Anne might be an old rat bag but I still love her....she's wise and if she is a virgin I salute her. They shouldn't judge her on the state of her hymen

wot Sat 20-Jan-18 17:40:13

Have I been too rude??

Anniebach Sat 20-Jan-18 19:19:02

Not at all wot x

Lynnebo Sat 20-Jan-18 21:45:45

Oh, Wot, Excellent! Hope you don't mind if I use that at work bext week! grin

Ailsa43 Sun 21-Jan-18 04:19:55

I honsetly can't bear either Daniel or Andrew. Daniel is so foul mouthed it's cringeworthy. During the power task he was crawling to Anne, yet he was crude about her behind her back... ... and Andrew is boring me rigid with his showmance with Shanej...

I liked shne still do, but the cameras' spend too much time with those 2.. and not enough on the others.

Gotta say Ashley is beginning to bug me as well, she's turning into a proper little snowflake, bubbling if anyone even looks at her sideways and constantly seeking the affirmation of the men that she's being picked on... and good for Johnny standing up for Anne instead of Ashley. .against Andrew

I hope all the men except John and Shane lynch are voted out now before any of the women..then Ashley and jess next to go..

I think it's going to be a close run final between 3 people... Shane J ( unless he continues with this showmance )... Amanda, and Shayne L

Ailsa43 Sun 21-Jan-18 04:21:47

Sorry in the 2nd para that should have read ''I like Shayne J'' but the cameras spend too much time with those 2 ( shayne and Andrew)

nanaK54 Sun 21-Jan-18 09:35:40

Enjoyed Shane's 'well timed sandwich break' grin

'Drunk as owls' is a new one on me grin

Lynnebo Thu 25-Jan-18 22:08:48

Andrew - what a nasty immature boy. Anne obviously touched a raw nerve with reference to his Mum and Grandmum, and I'm sure it was intended! With a triple eviction looming I am confident he is on his way out.
I'm not exactly sure who he is celebrity wise?

Nannylovesshopping Thu 25-Jan-18 22:14:17

Andrew was on this years apprentice, think his foul mouth will see him evicted, if he were my son or grandson I would be very ashamed

rafichagran Thu 25-Jan-18 22:44:17

Andrew is a vile disgusting creature with no respect. His potty mouth and disrespect should see him out on Friday.

I must say that Jonny is coming across well now. I am glad he expressed his distaste for Andrew's foul mouthed rant.

I too would be ashamed if my son said what he did, but I know he would not.
