Is anyone joining me for this year's extravaganza?

So far, we've got Chesney Hawkes.

Doodledog Fri 25-Apr-25 21:13:50

Right then chums! This is it! The live final! Please do not sweeeer!

I have used up my annual allocation of exclamation marks 😀.

I didn’t vote😩. I was going to do it tonight but the voting is disabled. My plan was to give Jack three votes and Jojo two.

rafichagran Fri 25-Apr-25 21:13:28

The voting public got that one right.

Jack is such a small man with his little thin legs. I think he is the one I'd like to win though as Danny I find irritating and Chesney has been quite a disappointment.

I really like Jojo and hope her family are there to support her at the end.

Chris was networking like mad last night. ‘Oh Jack, I know I’m not going to your wedding but I can’t wait for you to get married’ ( I’d love to come through as there will be TV people there. . . ), and ‘I’ll buy you a present to remind you of me, Jojo, but you’ll have to give me your address’ ( so we can stay in touch and I’ll get to meet all your famous friends )
It was embarrassing.

Absolutely!
That guy's a wrong 'un if ever I saw one.
I am growing concerned for JoJo, I wonder what her expectations are for when they leave, why did she say "just give me 48 hours"?
I now think that Danny will win, we will see, as long as it's not Chris I don't mind really.

I agree about Chris with Jack, glad Jack was not falling for it. It made me cringe.

Parsley3 Fri 25-Apr-25 07:51:46

Jack wasn't taking Chris on at all when Chris was waffling on with his faux empathy about the letter and wedding. I really dislike the way Jojo is being used by Chris as she seems quite fragile at times and I don't think the other housemates realise this.

I would like Jojo to GO she irritates me with all her gushing love of Chris he’s just her puppet What a pretty girl though
I’ve never seen anyone with such tiny legs as Jack they are like little pipe cleaners
I can’t get past Danny lips they are so fishlike it’s such a pity as
I m sure he’s a nice kind chap but that does spoil him
Chris is just Jojo s little playmate for the duration
Chesney seems a nice guy but a tad bland
I think I ll go for Donna she’s funny reasonable sane and doesn’t seem to want to hog the limelight all the time

rafichagran Thu 24-Apr-25 22:03:09

I really don't like Chesney, the remark about liking a woman with big t... said it all. If Mickey had said that it would have been 'You cant say that Mickey' I find him a bore.
After tonight's programne I want Jack to win. I have no interest in the others at all.

Doodledog Thu 24-Apr-25 16:24:58

Good point, well made grin

Cressida Thu 24-Apr-25 15:33:37

I really hope Danny wins as having him as the winner might mean Late & Live will have him on instead of David Potts. I can't see any of the other finalists replacing Potts.

Doodledog Thu 24-Apr-25 01:37:42

It looks like there’s no clear front runner, if we’re anything to go by then😂

LadyGaGa Wed 23-Apr-25 23:57:18

I’m annoying myself as I just can’t warm to Jack! He seems a bit wet and I just can’t see what everyone sees in him. Funny how we take to some people and not to others. I do like Donna but feel that at the moment she seems a bit smug, as she’s never been nominated. Jojo deserves to be in the final but don’t think she’ll win. Not bothered about Chesney much really. He seems like a nice bloke but I think he might be next out with Chris. Danny to win for me.

BlueBelle Wed 23-Apr-25 23:19:22

Can’t stand Jojo she’s a pretty girl though
I quite like chesney, Donna or Jack
Danny too much and not keen on Chris

So for me it ll be between Chesney Donna and Jack
Probably be Jack he’s the most well known I still don’t know who Donna is can’t be bothered to google her not that interested

Doodledog Wed 23-Apr-25 23:15:42

I might give my votes to Jack. Danny has been a bit of a pain since he got nominated. I quite like Chesney though, and Jojo is nice enough too. I never warmed to Donna and dislike Chris. Have I missed anyone?

rafichagran Wed 23-Apr-25 22:56:41

I am finding it difficult to stay interested this time. Anyone but Chris to win.

I totally agree, I want Jack to win followed by Danny and Jo Jo, the rest I really don't care.

Toetoe Wed 23-Apr-25 22:50:01

I agree this BB is now boring . Such a shame really . I've always watched in the past but I'm not really in to it . I don't care who wins

Doodledog Wed 23-Apr-25 18:06:00

Agreed on all counts, NanaK54. I thought the cast had good potential, but it's been a bit of a damp squib.

I realise that celebs are expensive, but I think limiting their series' to 3 weeks doesn't give enough time for them to let their masks slip. There are no Vanessa Feltz moments, no Leo Sayer behaving like a toddler, or Michael Barrymore showing himself to be a bullying prat. Most of them can present themselves as pleasant enough for a couple of weeks, knowing they'll get the money whether they win or not.

I enjoyed the family task too, but a lot of this series has been a bit sub par.

nanaK54 Wed 23-Apr-25 10:19:39

I really don't want Chris to win, but other than that I don't mind who takes it now, hasn't been the best series in my humble opinion.

That said, I really enjoyed the 'family task'!

rafichagran Wed 23-Apr-25 00:30:25

I gave all my votes to Jack,I don't mind Danny, dislike Chesney, he is a name dropper and I find him tedious.
I can't stand Chris, the others Jo Jo, and Danny I am indifferent too. Donna I can't take too.

Doodledog Tue 22-Apr-25 23:12:12

Yes, I thought he would be out too.

I'm not sure who to vote for to win. Either Chesney or Danny, I think,

rafichagran Tue 22-Apr-25 22:20:23

Wanted Chris out so dissapointed. I hope to God he does not win.

rafichagran Tue 22-Apr-25 22:01:53

Did Will Best make a boo boo there, saying two housemates?

Thanks for that post, keepingquiet.

I just realised I stopped watching celeb BB when George Galloway did his pussycat impression! Enough to put you off for life...!
