Big Brother 9: Week Two Nominations

The housemates nominated for the first time this week and they have chosen Alexandra De Gale and Mario Marconi to face the public vote.

As Big Brother nominations go, this one is pretty predictable – but it will still be extremely exciting to watch. It seems that the two people most loathed by the viewing public are, for once, also the two most loathed by the rest of the housemates – yep, Alexandra and Mario are the two who will face eviction this Friday. And this is who nominated who…

Alex first nominates Rex: “We’ve had so many disagreements. He really rubs me up the wrong way a lot of the time. I find him very patronising”. Her second nomination is Dennis. “I’ve recently seen a different side to him – walking round the house, stirring up trouble. I don’t think I can trust him anymore… he’s a poo poo stirrer in my eyes.”

Dale then nominated Mario and Alex giving the following reasons: For Mario, he says, “He’s patronising – he thinks he’s the dad and we are the kids”. Regarding Alex he says, “She’s trying to be nice so she won’t be up for nomination. I think she’s playing a game.”

Darnell nominates Mario and Lisa.

Next is Dennis, His first nomination is Mario and his second is Alex. About Alex he says, “I’ve not been able to have relationships with other housemates as she’s so forced with her opinion.”

Jennifer votes for Mario: “I don’t like the way he acts like my dad”, and Lisa: “She stares at me a lot. Because she’s with Mario, she isolates herself from the rest of the group.”

Next up is Kat. After much deliberation she nominates Alex: “A lot of the time she gives off negative energy”, and then Sylvia: “She always agrees with Alex.”

Lisa first nominates Jennifer. She says, “I feel like she pretends I’m not there. Maybe she’s jealous or finds me a threat.” Her second nomination is Sylvia. Her reason being, “Whatever the time is, she doesn’t care and constantly makes noise. It’s so selfish.”

Next to nominate is Luke. He chooses Mohamed and Mario. Regarding Mohamed he says, “I’m absolutely famished and he’s devouring everything in the kitchen. It’s getting beyond a joke… he needs to understand the word RATION.”

Mario nominates Sylvia. He says, “She doesn’t involve herself with the group and she constantly moans. I’ve never seen her in the kitchen getting her hands dirty. She just cares about her looks”. Next he nominates Dennis, saying, “He’s two-faced and playing a massive game.”

Next up is Mikey. He first nominates Alex, “She’s been nicey nicey over the past few days and it doesn’t fool me.” His second nomination is for Dennis. “I wasn’t sure till last night, but when he stood up and called that big meeting I thought ‘what was that all about?’. Dennis is the biggest bitch in the house!”

Mohamed nominates Alex and Dennis.

Rachel nominates Alex and Sylvia.

Rebecca nominates Alex and Darnell.

Rex first picks Alex. “Her behaviour is very manipulative. I don’t want to see people crying in the house.” His second choice is Mario, one of his reasons being, “He was very horrible to Stephanie.”

Last to make nominations is Sylvia. Her first person is Alex. “I feel she is a very argumentative and manipulative character. She’s had more arguments than anyone else in the house. I think Alex would like to get Rex and Mohamed out as they are her biggest threats.” Her next choice is Mario. “He comes across as trying to take charge and control. I don’t need to be told how to act, behave, what to think or what to feel.”

Big Brother 9: Stephanie McMichael Evicted

Big Brother 9 - Stephanie McMichael Evicted

Stephanie McMichael has become the first person to be evicted with 43% of the public vote.

She arrived wanting to be the most famous housemate, she pretended unconvincingly to be Mario’s girlfriend, she took part in a wedding to him that Dennis described as “being as fake as his tan”, she dressed up as a Cheeky Girl and got slated it for it, she stood up to Alex (currently Public Enemy No. 1) and she didn’t want to be first out.

Oh well, Zoo and Nuts await!

Lee McQueen wins The Apprentice 2008

Oh sugar, Sirallun’s done it again! Rather than choosing Claire Young, who seemed altogether a better leader, presenter and salesperson, as the winner of The Apprentice, he has instead hired Lee McQueen, the candidate who claimed on his CV to have spent two years at college when, in fact, he had left after just four months. On the positive side, Lee can do a stunning impression of a reverse pterodactyl though not, of course, spell it. BAH!

The Apprentice: Consolation Prize

There’s a consolation prize in store for the runner up in this year’s Apprentice… They will be offered a job by Essex County Council.

Hands up who’s thinking bin man, here!

The runner-up in this year’s final of BBC show The Apprentice will be offered a council job in Essex.

Essex County Council said it had promised to create a position to “challenge the perception of working for a local authority”.

It said it would be a boost for the county where Sir Alan Sugar’s firm Amstrad – at which the four finalists are competing to work – is also based.

The final episode of the programme is on BBC One on Wednesday night.

Claire Young, Lee McQueen, Helene Speight and Alex Wotherspoon have all made it to the final of the series.

‘Best and brightest’

The council said the exact job description remained flexible as it would be based on the strengths of the runner-up.

Lord Hanningfield, leader of Essex County Council, said: “Essex County Council is as ambitious as any private company.

“We unashamedly want the best and brightest to come and work for us.

“Perceptions need to change. Working in local government is every bit as challenging and rewarding, if not more so, than the private sector.

“This is an organisation with a £2bn annual spend, employing 38,000 staff within a multitude of disciplines.

“Sir Alan Sugar’s company is based right here in Essex – so this is about the ambition of the county as a whole, both private and public sector working together, to deliver the best possible quality of life for the people of Essex.”

The Apprentice

Just in case you’ve been living on the moon or wisely do not own a TV, it’s the final of this year’s Apprentice tonight on BBC1 at nine.

Over the past twelve weeks, sixteen can-do nitwits, willing to “110 percent” and “beee-lieve” themselves into a job with Sirallun, have selflessly exposed all the hideous aspects of their personalities and proved why they should never be employed again just for our entertainment: they’ve under-priced fish, over-priced laundry, believed an Imam can make chicken Kosher and tried hiring out sports cars at Portobello Road market.

Now, only four are left: Alex Wotherspoon, Lee McQueen, Claire Young and Helene Speight. So who wins? Well, Sirallun decides.
