Love this programme, Gary Goldsmith has just gone in should be interesting.

Sharon is being paid £100,000 a day for the five days, and I don’t know how true it is, but I did read that some people were setting up a GoFundMe page to keep her in longer 🤷‍♀️(like she needs the money 🙄)
I think she did say that she didn’t want to leave Ozzy on his own for too long, and that’s why she’s only in for the five days

Grannynannywanny Sun 10-Mar-24 12:23:20

I agree rafichagran. The scene in Sharon’s bedroom when they were discussing Simon Cowell was my favourite.

rafichagran Sun 10-Mar-24 11:46:03

I think those two diva's Sharon and Louis with their unashamed gossip has added to this BB.
A couple of wannabees have certainly gravitated towards Louis.

I think when Sharon the Lodger goes, another Lodger will arrive.
Though I haven't actually watched it so I'm hardly an expert 🙂

Thanks for the explanation Doodledog.
I think Gary went because he has no fan base and many people probably didn’t know who he was. I thought he was okay really, far better than those dreadful women I’d never heard of, Zeze, Lauren, and EkinSu. They are self absorbed individuals who appear to me to have little of interest to say. Their only interest is themselves.

Doodledog Sat 09-Mar-24 15:57:22

No, I think people just didn't know who he was, so didn't vote for him to stay. The vote wasn't to vote someone out, but to keep them in.

Most of us may not know who Lauren is (I don't) but she apparently has a fan base from her programme, and they will have voted to keep her in. I think it's as simple as that, really.

Daddima Sat 09-Mar-24 15:54:50

Do you think people voted for Gary to go to spare the royals any embarrassment?
And, I saw a clip of Sharon and Louis being nasty about Simon Cowell. I rather like Simon.

lemsip Sat 09-Mar-24 15:43:56

sharon ad louis have a 'remit' to follow whis is exactly what they are doing. It's almost like a script,.

I wanted Lauren to go, what's wrong with her face. mind you zeza isn't nice.
and ek in sue, ek in who?

nanaK54 Sat 09-Mar-24 15:24:54

Oh I would love Giles Brandreth to go in, hadn't heard that might happen.
I wondered if Sharon and Louis wrongly supposed that as they were chatting in Sharon's private room that they were not on camera.
Really not liking many of the celebs at all so far.
I had never heard of 'Uncle Gary' before, he had an overinflated idea of his own importance in my humble.

rafichagran Sat 09-Mar-24 15:22:10

I like Sharon and Louis in Big Brother, yes they are gossips, but Gary said yesterday Louis told him to his face he needs to go.
Yes Sharon is a lodger but she entertains me.
What Sharon said about Adele is what I have always thought.

Do people think it will end up being Louie and Sharon left standing?

Apparently Sharon is only staying for one week as a “lodger”. It was agreed in advance that her stay would be a short one. It was also agreed that she’d have her own private bedroom so she’s not exactly roughing it with the rest of them.

I think Louis will be lost without her. He hangs on to her every word and they spend a lot of time gossiping together. I suspect Lauren will step into that role if she survives eviction.

Ah, that's interesting about Sharon. I couldn't work out what the lodger thing was about.

Yes, I think Louis sees her as the only one worthy of his company, as the others aren't famous enough to be worthy of his attention. He's probably reckoned without Fern, though - she's got lots of experience of working with big names, and of being 'ordinary' on screen, whether that's an act or not.

I wonder if they'll bring more in - they usually do. Gyles Brandreth was rumoured to be going in, I believe.

Anniebach Sat 09-Mar-24 13:27:25

I don’t like Louis, the women and David, haven’t seen enough of the men yet

I think CBB is running for only three weeks (which is enough in my opinion) but how will all the housemates be evicted in that time to leave one winner?

There's an eviction on Tuesday, so maybe they will get rid of a few each week. I think they sometimes have 5 or so of them left in the last episode, too.

I suppose that people like Sharon and Louis will be too expensive to keep in there for (potentially) ages, and those who are working (eg Colson) might struggle to get lengthy leave from their 'day jobs'.

I agree that some of the wannabes will want to befriend Louis, as he's probably still powerful in 'the business'. Others will get sick of him though. If he's too grand to clean the loo, and is consistently rude to people he will keep getting nominated. I really don't like him.

MissAdventure Sat 09-Mar-24 13:23:56

Ah, thank you.
I'm not watching it, but am getting drawn into this blasted thread! grin

Zeze and Ekin su, what an obnoxious pair, hope they are shown the door quickly, seems to be either boring or nasty personalities, not much between!

Totally agree.
Self obsessed, nasty individuals.

JaneJudge Sat 09-Mar-24 12:36:12

I'd completely missed this was on

Grannynannywanny Sat 09-Mar-24 11:13:23

I agree about Ekin Su. She’s coming across as rather manipulative and I suspect she’s hanging around Louis hoping he’ll be of use to her after the show. Gary had a low opinion of her in his post eviction interview.

She was very rude to Colson earlier in the week when he asked her something about her time in Love Island. She snapped at him and and shut down the conversation. I’ve never seen L. I so no idea how she behaved there. But there’s no need to be so rude about it. If it wasn’t for that programme she wouldn’t be in CBB. Poor Colson looked embarrassed and the poor guy was just making conversation.

crazyH Sat 09-Mar-24 11:04:50

I recently caught some awards ceremony on TV, where someone was mercilessly rude to James Corden, about his weight/stomach etc. That was very, very mean and rude 😡

Ekinsu is cosying up to Louis, in the hope he’ll make her a star

rafichagran Sat 09-Mar-24 10:52:18

Upthread I mentioned Ekinsu had said on night 1 she wanted to sleep near Louis, does she think he can be useful to her.
Gary said on that Louis used to say to him, your different you don't fit in you need to go, then he fell asleep. I found that funny. Lauren or Zeze to go next.
I have been fed up with all the crying though.

Grannynannywanny Sat 09-Mar-24 09:10:04

Poor Gary is so deluded I almost felt a bit sorry for him last night. He seems to think he’s famous and people have the wrong impression of him. Has anyone on here ever heard of him before this week?

Zeze seems to be an argumentative attention seeker. That silly spat with Lauren was never ending. I hope she and Lauren are next to leave.

Sharon and Louis seem to have forgotten about the cameras and openly criticising other showbiz celebs. Their conversation about Simon Cowell was very funny. He won’t be hiring them any time soon.
