What a stupid game with the balloons, someone was bound to get hurt.

Doodledog Wed 20-Mar-24 21:36:58

Own up! Who couldn't help themselves saying 'You'll have someone's eye out if you're not careful!' grin

rafichagran Wed 20-Mar-24 21:45:44

I remember my Mum saying that when me and my sister were rough housing.

Doodledog Wed 20-Mar-24 22:09:42

It's a standard 'mum saying', isn't it? I'm sure we've all said it more than once grin

maddyone Wed 20-Mar-24 22:47:20

Was Fern playing a game with the fall? Was she after the sympathy vote?
How very wicked of me to have such a thought.
Bradley, Nikita, or Colson to win for me.
Louis could win, but I don’t want him to.
David preferably not, and Fern definitely not! In my opinion.

After watching tonight's offering, I think that Louis, the shameless gossip is going to win for sheer entertainment value alone.

crazyH Wed 20-Mar-24 23:02:58

I have a strange feeling Louis will win

Obvious that game was going to 'end in tears'! grin

That is exactly what my mum would say when people started 'sky larking about' .... another of my mum's favourite
expressions!

What a horrible way to do a eviction. Bradley was so dignified.

Anniebach Thu 21-Mar-24 21:56:41

It was cruel

Millie22 Thu 21-Mar-24 22:00:07

Poor Bradley ☹

I don't like the way they did that.

Shinamae Fri 22-Mar-24 00:03:38

I felt for Bradley as well, but he carried it off so well smiling all the way through and wishing his fellow housemates.
good luck. Well done.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve got a feeling Louis will win as well, and he has been very entertaining to be fair..

Grannynannywanny Fri 22-Mar-24 07:19:09

I was shocked at Bradley’s cruel method of eviction. However, I read elsewhere that his “soft eviction “ was planned that way to make an allowance for his autism to avoid him being overwhelmed while stepping out into the yelling crowd. The comment was made by a woman who described herself as autistic and she praised the production team saying it was in Bradley’s best interests to evict him this way.

Serendipity22 Fri 22-Mar-24 08:29:33

I was saying precisely the same thing, very cruel until I read Grannynanny thread about Bradley having autism. I felt so sorry for the lad and yet he took his exit remarkably...

So..... we have the finalists. Louis's barriers are up all the time, everyone's so touchy, feely and Louis holds himself back ( from what i have seen )

I dont want it to end...

Next thing on my mind is, who do I want to win?

Answer is - Colson.

Anniebach Fri 22-Mar-24 08:34:44

David is even more irritating at the close than the start,

Colson to win

I thought the same ( Fern and the fall ). Poor Nikita took it upon himself to 'test' the odd looking seating... thumping it and thrusting his head on it to test its firmness 🤷 .

Nannylovesshopping Fri 22-Mar-24 08:41:35

Nikita is my fave on strictly, but not on big brother, maybe I only like his dancing, guess Louis will win, I’m hoping for Colson.

Parsley3 Fri 22-Mar-24 08:48:14

It didn't take the house mates long to get over Bradley's cruel eviction because being finalists is everything to them. If I had to pick one to win it would be Colson but for no particular reason.

Grannynannywanny Fri 22-Mar-24 08:51:30

I really don’t think Fern was hamming it up when she fell. Nikita is 40 years younger than Fern. Letting himself fall into the seat and testing his head on it isn’t going to feel anything like the impact experienced by Fern’s 66 year old body. He didn’t mean to hurt her but she was forcibly pushed aside and landed hard on the seat. I suspect she felt the full force of it in her neck, shoulders and head. I had an injury free fall recently but I felt quite shaken up by it. If it was one of the young housemates they’d have bounced back up laughing and continued to run. I’m almost 70 and have lost my ability to spring up as if nothing happened and I suspect Fern feels the same.

maddyone Fri 22-Mar-24 10:32:14

Yes, that is probably true Grannynannywanny. I know the weakness of the neck myself as I just had a cervical spine steroid injection yesterday because of narrowing in that area and constant pain. However I don’t think Fern would have been suffering from anything like that as she would have to have been fit to go in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

maddyone Fri 22-Mar-24 10:33:50

Colson or Nikita to win for me.

Poor Bradley, but maybe it was for the best for him. Everything would have been taken into consideration, especially medical needs.

Doodledog Fri 22-Mar-24 10:50:56

I was sad at Bradley's eviction, but I can see the rationale of doing it up to a point. If they set it up so he couldn't possibly have won though, it's very unfair unless he gave informed consent.

I don't think Fern was hamming it up. I think Nikita is worried that she might win, and has set out to make her look bad. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of him - I think he has a very mean streak.

Grannynannywanny Fri 22-Mar-24 11:18:58

That sounds miserable maddyone, I hope the injection brings you relief.

rafichagran Fri 22-Mar-24 13:49:21

I honestly don't believe it was a set up for Bradley to be evicted due to his autism. It would be unfair to Bradley, the voting public, and to the other contestants not to mention illegal to manipulate votes especially paid for ones.
For the final I have given my five free votes on the app to Louis, entertaining,diverish, argumentative, gossipy and entertaining, the old name dropper.
I don't care who is the runner up as with the exception of Fern, and I don't like her, and Louis, the rest have been very dull.
I was just sorry Zeze was evicted, as I wanted her as runner up. She bought a level of interest to the show and even Mr Rafi, who detests BB looked up when she was talking cultural appropriation said she was right. She bought a fresh angle to the programne and was feisty. Sharon could see this when she saved her.
