Is anyone joining me for this year's extravaganza?

So far, we've got Chesney Hawkes.

Cannot understand how anyone could watch it never mind be in it. It still goes on though.

How can you say that you can’t understand anyone watching it and then comment on it? You must have watched it to say what you said. Fine, if you don’t like it, stop commenting. Saying you can’t understand anyone watching it gives the wrong impression.

I am finding Tricia more and more difficult.

Ha! Ha! Ha! These days it seems anyone who's had a bit part in a single episode of Eastenders is automatically "a Star!"

Thank you for replies to my question. I understand now .

Let's see what BB had in store for the housemates next . I love the psychology.

Do the housemates get given ear plugs to help them sleep I bet the snoring is awful 🙄

Just read Mickey has left

Galaxy Sun 13-Apr-25 08:59:15

Yes I saw that. Asked to leave I think?

shysal Sun 13-Apr-25 09:06:49

Asked to leave after a heated altercation with Chris. I hope he won't get his fee, which I imagine was enormous!

Just read Mickey has left

I am absolutely gutted, as I said before the man would’ve had head injuries He had a long boxing career, then did some acting and then went back to boxing then acting again.
It has been known for a very long time now that taking blows to the head Causes severe head trauma so why on earth did they ask him to go in?.. I think big brother should be ashamed for putting him in… And I hope he got ALL of his fee…

Shinamae Sun 13-Apr-25 10:11:12

This…

rafichagran Sun 13-Apr-25 12:19:42

I agree with you Shinamae he is a very damaged individual. He did not understand what was going on half the time, like he was in a world of his own, and he also seemed to be a bit deaf as well.
He did bring interest to big brother and on another forum I read they set up a poll of who to save and Mickey was top by a long way.
Yes Shina Big Brother perhaps should not have put this controversial character in, and I hope he gets his full fee.

Shinamae
I agree with you as well and feel there is a sort of vulnerability about Mickey.

That means two of the more interesting people have now gone. Mickey may well have had a degree of deafness after all the boxing.

It's a matter of choice if people want to watch Big Brother, and 1-2 million still do, but I stopped when the awful incident with Shilpa Shetty occurred in 2007 and was becoming tired of the bullying, aggressive behaviour and stupidity of the housemates in the non celeb version. As reality shows go, I much prefer Strictly Come Dancing and Hunted.

Galaxy Sun 13-Apr-25 19:39:20

Er have you been listening to the news about strictly come dancing lately. I think there might be a few issues with bullying, etc there.

Toetoe Sun 13-Apr-25 23:50:49

Mickey was a loose cannon , I knew he wouldn't stay long . Wonder if he actually slept in his bed . I imagine he will get his fee either way .

Is there a romance with jojo and chris they are very flirty

Shinamae Mon 14-Apr-25 09:36:48

I’ve lost a lot of interest in it now that Micky has gone…

Yes he was a character, but what he said and did was wrong, and he had to go. As I stated upthread, he should not have been asked to go in.

Mickey did not know what was going on half the time, he was volatile and unpredictable. The way he reacted to Chris proved this. His remark to Ella was disgusting and inappropriate.

Having said the above I think he is a sad vulnerable man who does not know boundaries, but he kept this show interesting and at times he showed a very sad side to him.

Yes, more or less what I said up thread…

nanaK54 Mon 14-Apr-25 13:48:29

Any guesses about who will be up for eviction?
I think possibly Ella, Jack and Patsy.
If I was a contestant I would vote for Ella and Angelica.

nanaK54 Mon 14-Apr-25 13:53:10

Oops no I would vote for Ella and Trisha (not Angelica)

Toetoe Mon 14-Apr-25 13:53:29

Tricia will be up for eviction I don't think she adds much to the mix . I think there is a new housemate coming in . She is from America as was said on late and live . No idea who she is

rafichagran Mon 14-Apr-25 13:58:20

I honestly think so far this has been the Mickey show. I hope others now get to show their true selves. Some will be likable, unpleasant, attention seeking, boring, sly, or game players.

I think the other housemates have been overshadowed by Mickey and it will be interesting to see what they are like now, what they are really like.

rafichagran Mon 14-Apr-25 14:01:04

I would like to see Tricia, Ella and Chesney up, though the latter would not happen.
I would like to see Ella go, I find her tedious.

dogsmother Mon 14-Apr-25 14:13:27

Tricia for me, quite entitled in her own way. I’m fully aware of her health situation which she deals with admirably. However her overbearing ways are really bothering me.
So I’d like her to leave next.

Me too! I didn’t like him as such, but at least he came out with some stuff that was;’t bland. Can’t stand Tricia. She is so self-Center Ed.
In fact, there aren’t many ‘characters’ left now and it was the spunky characters, (trouble-makers, the nasty ones and the ‘poor me’ ones) that made it worth watching. I can’t see much point in it now.

Crossstitchfan Mon 14-Apr-25 15:20:55

Sorry for all the mis-spellings in my post. I forgot to proof-read.

Was;’t = wasn’t
Self-Center Ed = self- centered
