Is anyone joining me for this year's extravaganza?

So far, we've got Chesney Hawkes.

Never watched it. Last watched the ordinary one when Victor was in - can anyone remember his Boys to men routine? Just seen patsy palmer and Trish Goddard are in this and therefore will be watching just for them. Am feeling a bit naff at the moment and hoping it will cheer me up.

I'm not sure that MR should be in there. He seemed off his face. I hope they're looking after him, awful though he is.

Doodledog Mon 07-Apr-25 22:35:13

Hi, Redblueandgreen, and welcome. It always cheers me up.

Totally agree he looks out of it, he ststes never seen the show.

I like Tricia, and Michael, two strong characters and could be interesting. I fully expected to dislike Michael though.
Mickey I think is/will be controversial.
Chesney seems pleasant.

I'll be following as I'm a fan . M R does look out of it .

Redblueandgreen Mon 07-Apr-25 23:05:52

Thanks Doodledog.

Same here. Chesney, Trisha and Patsy. Don't know who the girl is, and Chris (?) is a horseracing pundit, I think, but didn't know that until he said.

They seem like a decent bunch so far.

Chris Hughes is just a celebrity guest sort of pundit on ITV Racing. Most famous for being in Love Island which I’ve never seen.

Ah right. I haven't seen it either - or Made In Essex.

Hi, MayBee and Toetoe.

It's only on for three weeks, and there are 13 of them so far. Will said 14 and was hastily corrected though, so I wouldn't be surprised if another one goes in at some point. Either way, they are going to have to have a few evictions a week to fit it all in.

MayBee70 Tue 08-Apr-25 00:55:43

My guilty pleasure tv wise is Made in Chelsea which is absolute rubbish these days but I’ve got into the habit of watching it.

Good morning yes I will be watching with interest.
C'mon where are the 'never watch it' posts grin

Hi everyone, just noticed the thread. I watched last night. An interesting combination of characters.

Mickey Rourke is a liability. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already gone by this evening. His behaviour around AJ was inappropriate but she handled it well. I feel sorry for the housemates if it’s the usual dormitory style sleeping arrangements.

I think if anyone remembered last year's thread, they all posted but I and others challenged politely and asked why they would bother to post on something they were not interested in.

Yes I remember it rafichagran. I was half expecting to see a few of those comments when I read this thread earlier this morning. It happens every time.

We all like different things. I wouldn’t dream of reading a thread on a topic that was of no interest to me then posting on it to say so. Hopefully the usual thread police will leave us alone to enjoy this one in peace 😆

I remember it well grin

I am recording it and have not watched any of it yet…
So, I don’t know who’s in, but glad to hear Micky Rourke is
Ella is from TOWIE..

I agree….

GrannyGravy13 Tue 08-Apr-25 12:50:38

I watched it last night, Micky Rourke was virtually undressing AJ with his eyes, he gave me chills (not in a good way)

I remember JoJo Siwa from Dance Moms (DD) was rather obsessed whilst studying/revising.

I think it’s good the makings of a vintage year

Yes, I agree. They have got a good mix of people, I think, and the dynamics should be interesting.

rafichagran Tue 08-Apr-25 15:37:07

Just relaxing in a coffee shop, and really enjoying this thread. I think this will be a good year for this thread too.
People who have posted seem to really like Big Brother or it is a guilty secret.

crazyH Tue 08-Apr-25 15:43:30

I like Angelica - the poor girl was ‘let go’ from the Martin Lewis money show.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 08-Apr-25 16:29:06

I like Angelica Bell, she is married to Michael Underworld a former BBC presenter who has retrained as a KS2 teacher and is teaching in a school in Wimbledon.

rafichagran Tue 08-Apr-25 22:10:37

I was very sorry to hear about Tricia but she is enjoying herself and she will be the Mother of the house.
I have noticed Daley is getting annoyed with Danny, and Jack does not seemed to be impressed either.
I am surprised to be liking Mickey and Michael, I did not think I would.
I cannot say at the moment there is anyone I dislike.

YorkLady Tue 08-Apr-25 22:11:04

Well, I’m in now. Just watched tonight’s episode and I think it has the makings of a good series.
I love Ru Paul’s Drag Race, so I’m hoping to see good things from Danny Beard.

Shinamae Tue 08-Apr-25 23:21:03

I’ve only watched last night’s opening show, I think it will be a pretty interesting show this year
I might go against the grain but I care not . I think Micky Rourke is great.
Shame he looks so different from when he did 9 1/2 weeks, but he’s a character and I love a character and he just looks so full of mischief 😜
I also like the girl in the red dress, the actress, but I’m not sure who she is
