Brother Beyond
So, it begins…Big Brother 8.
Its all women - at least until Friday when they put one man in. For the record I am not keen on this at all, firstly for the fact that it’ll be all ’sleepover’ until then and secondly, because when they put the guy in on Friday he’ll be eaten alive.Neither of those are things I want to watch. Much.
It’s worth mentioning that at the moment its a bit like a sixth form common room, the housmates are 70% under 25 and 50% under 20. Which means lots of shrilling and ‘oh my god you are so beautiful!!!!’ which i’m sure will get tiring. (actually this was tiring after about 10 mins)
Anyway…here are the housemates:
 |
Amanda & Sam Twins. Yes there are 2 of them, they are 18 and they like pink. Alot. They do ‘everything’ together and scream and talk about the ‘pinkness’ of the house most of the time. It’s annoying. I’m betting their mother is thrilled to get them out of the house for the summer, they look about 12 as well, and I really really thought their entry video was creepy as hell. They are also doin g the ‘you can’t tell between us’ thing, when actually they look totally different. To me anyway. |
 |
Lesley She is 60, she has dinner with Charles and Camilla and from her entry video we can tell she likes to play golf in her teeny tiny garden. I’m not sure about her, she looked a bit like a fish out of water around all the girls who were commenting on each others hair and earrings. She may not survive. Unless she plays mother…hmmm interesting. They’ll need one of those for sure. |
 |
Charley Here is your lap dancing cousin of a professional footballer. To be honest she is ropey, to say the least. She’s 21 but looks about 38, does nothing (yes nothing) for a living and was booed and shouted ‘get out’ on the way into the house. Things don’t look to good for her right now, but she was the one that was leaked to the press so we already had like 12 hours to read up and judge her. We’ll see. |
 |
Tracey This years Pete. She is 36 and a raver. Spends weekends in fields and likes to ‘Av it’ in other words she is way 1991. She’s genuinely a bit nuts and her hero is the guy out of the Cillit Bang adverts. |
 |
Channel Satan. Officially. She is dreadful, probably the worst video I have seen for anyone on Big Brother ever, she’s 19, she really thinks that she looks like Posh Spice (she doesn’t at all) and owns all the stuff from Posh’s clothing range so that she can be more like her. She is obviously great, where she’s from. I may eat these words and think shes great in a few weeks - I doubt it, but I may. |
 |
Shabnam Don’t have much of an opinion on this one yet…she is from London and she’s 22, she likes make up, made no real impact on me so far. humph. |
 |
Emily Think Peaches Geldof and you’ll be spot on with this 19 year old from Bristol. She’s really posh and wants to go out with a boy like Pete Doherty, shes proclaimed herself as pretentious which she really seems and I think its likely she may drown into silence behind the loud blonde twins. |
 |
Laura My first bet for winner. She came off great in her video. She is 23 and Welsh and looks like shes great fun. Seems not to take herself to seriously and i’ll bet she is up for a laugh. If she lives up to her video persona she’ll win. Oh yeah. |
 |
Nicky She’s 27, hates men and loves cigarettes and seems nice, shyest of the bunch and seems more sincere than some of the other girls in the house. If she manages not to be too quiet I think she’ll be a good housemate. She’ll have to step up and be heard for the first week or so though which i’m not sure she’s up to. |
 |
Carole 53, protestor and a bit mad. The complete opposite to Lesley which should make for some interesting watching as it’ll be expected for the two olds to get together. She claims that she likes to argue and to be honest I wouldn’t fancy facing up to her. I can’t say im keen on her much but we’ll have to see how it goes. |
Initial thoughts:
Amanda & Sam: The follower one needs to kill the leader one.
Lesley: “What if Derek was a woman”.
Charley: D’Angelo Barksdale with tits (and less brooding morality issues)
Tracey: Acid-house casualty.
Channel: I don’t think she’s as bad as you think she is. She’s more like a Bonnie with a bit more self-awareness. Only a bit.
Shabnam: Pretty whatever. I reckon everyone who works in Harrods is like that.
Emily: So Emily. I’m pretty sure that entire generation of Toffs are exactly like her. Weird. I guess being it-girls and sloans isn’t appealing to toffs any more since the WAGS and BB dropouts took their places.
Laura: Top quality. They should arm her with weapons to make sure she doesn’t get evicted.
Nicky: Ooh so tempting a challenge, to bring her bang from the man hate instilled by previous arseholes. I think me and her should get married. She looks like an asian-Irish J-Lo circa 1997. Hopefully she doesn’t morph into J-Lo circa 2007 as the show goes on.
Carole: “What if the mad person’s hobby was political activism”
I don’t think its as bad as you but then I like a room full of women.

I’m not that happy that this morning the press seem to be gunning for the twins, thats not a good thing ever. They are destined for nothing more than twin porn right?
