This week’s (S)Heat Magazine proves that you can work wonders with photoshop’s airbushing filters with a photoshoot and interview with Big Brother runner up Glyn Wise.

I watched Supernanny last night, Jo Frost helped single mum Tara tame an evil four year old brat who ran off in front of moving cars, swore like a sailor and threw punches at his mum into someone that was quite sweet, a pretty amazing turnaround. There’s also some pretty good advice on her website as well about dealing with bad behaviour and unruly kids.
The best way to deal with bad behaviour is not to reward it. It’s often possible to pre-empt tantrums and bad behaviour by being prepared. For example, if your child is easily over-excited, planning in advance to leave an over-stimulating situation (such as visiting relatives or a birthday party) before it all gets too much, can be a good tactic.
By the same token that incentives help encourage good behaviour, sanctions can discourage bad. The rule is to warn the child verbally and then if they still continue to misbehave to apply the sanction. Sanctions may include taking away privileges such as having a friend to stay, doing something they enjoy or even a fine.
If you need to wean yourself of your Big Brother addication slowly then there’s a good article on unrealitytv that gives a round up of what the tabloids had to say about the event!
This weekend the tabloids have been full of the life stories and first interviews with the now released Big Brother housemates.
The Sunday Mirror reported today that while they entertained young Glyn Wise with five lovely lap dancers he told all about his new-found obsession with fake breasts. He went on to share the story of how he lost his virginity on a Welsh hillside and that he now wants to move to the bright lights of London.
The Sunday Mirror also contained the story of Aisleyne and how she thinks that she is the “real winner”. She revealed that she will never speak to Grace Adam-Short ever again saying “I still haven’t forgiven her for throwing a glass of water over Susie. I completely blanked her at the after-show party on Friday. There’s one b**** who don’t know herself.”
Aisleyne also shared her thoughts on Nikki and Petes relationship saying “I’ve had my doubts from the start,” she said. “I know he genuinely cares for her. But I know the world that Nikki comes from is all glitz and glamour – fake nails, fake hair, fake boobs. That’s as far removed as you can possibly be from what Pete is all about.
“The more I’m getting to learn about Nikki, the more sceptical I’m getting about her relationship with Pete.”
The Daily Mail carried Petes story on its front page, and tells the tale of what Pete intends to do with his £100,000 prize money. He said he wanted to win ‘to pay off my mum’s mortgage so she can finally live her life because ’she looked after me for so long’.
The People and The News Of The World report that Pete has finished with Nikki. While Nikki was wishing that she could be reunited with Petey, Pete was telling The People:
“Nikki’s so different to me. All I’m thinking about now is being friends with her. I’ve not even thought about marrying Nikki. I’m not sure if I’m even in to marriage.”
And he admitted: “Mum is more important than any money or Nikki. It’s all about my mum.”
The News of the World also tells about Petes imminent reunion with his long lost dad Mark Bennett.For details of loads of other stories and Big brother gossip, hop on over to BB Gossip for loads and loads and loads more!
I can’t believe its over!
Pete won the award for funniest moment for falling in the Pool, the best diary room moment for his disco session, best screen kiss for swapping saliva with Nikki and best task as well for the song writing competition! Are you beginning to see a pattern here yet?.
The most emotional scene went to Richard for receiving his letter from home during the prison task. Best argument was won by Aisleyne and Nikki … the “You better know yourself, little girl” one.
The awards in the house were followed by a rather predictable tantrum from Pwincess Nikki who bawled her eyes out for several minutes demanding an award of her own! Sharing two with other people evidently wasn’t good enough for her!
It was then back to the live action and Davina introduced the ex-housemates; first up, Shabaz and Bonnie. Poor Shabaz, he seems to have an uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person. “Davina, I hope you have a son and make yourself and your husband very happy!” said Shabaz. “We’ll be very happy with a daughter!” replied Davina!
Next were horse face Grace and non comedy Scouser Mikey. “Any magazine deals yet?” asked Davina with no hint of sarcasm. “Well, me and lovely Graaaaaaciiiiiiiieeeee were in S-Heat today!” beamed the Scouser proudly proving that there is money to be made flogging dead horses. Grace apparently is head over heels in lurve … just not with Mikey though!
Also, on the walk of shame were Jonathan and Jayne who burped, Imogen and Suzie, Michael and Spiral. Davina jokingly offered the crap rapper a sloice, not a wise move considering his behaviour to Aisleyne. Spioral and the Aisleyne haterz will be calling her a Prikteazer next! Scruples, Michaels flea bitten stuffed moggy friend, failed to make an appearance as it had been quarantined by a government bio-hazard team, as had his evil underpants, probably!
Following on were not nice but dim George and Sam. I wonder what George was doing there? I thought he couldn’t handle the fame!
And then finally Lea and Lisa! Lea’s boobs unbelievably looked even more humungous then before. “It’s me dress” she moaned.
After the ex-housemates had taken their places, Davina spoke to the house for the first time that evening to announce the first housemate to leave. It was … Jennie who got 0.9% of the public vote! Jennie’s interview was as uninspiring as her time in the house. Although, we did learn that her boyfriend wrestles cages or something!
It was now time to learn who had come fifth.
“Big Brother house this is Davina. You are live on channel 4, please do not swear! Aisleyne, Glyn, Nikki, Pete and Richard! The votes have been counted and verified and I can know reveal that the person finishing in fifth place is … “.
Aisleyne was convinced that it was going to be her; “Say my name Davina, say my name babe! Say my name, say my name babe”.
” … Nikki! Nikki say your goodbyes, I’m coming to get you” continued Davina!
This moment got a huge cheer at “Why did I go wrong” HQ. Nikki had a “that’s not in the script” moment and Aisleynes face was a picture too.
I was one of the 2000 or so people that wrote in to OFCOM and ICTSIS to complain about Big Brother/Endomol when they gave the rejects the opportunity to go back in the house but given Nikki’s dismal share of the vote, 6.5%, I’m coming around to thinking that they did us all a favour.
- It cost Nikki fans a lot of money to put her back in.
- If she hadn’t gone back in, they would have droned on and on about how she could have won if only she’d got to the final week! Now they know different.
- And finally, coming fifth out of six has probably killed of any chance of her enjoying a z-list celebrity career. Hurrah! Although, she could probably do with a stint on Supernanny.
During her exit and what passed for an interview, Nikki clearly looked as if she’d gone bonkers and produced another cringingly funny moment! When she asked Davina if they were going to show her best bits, the harsh reply was, “No, you haven’t got any”.
Richard was fourth with 9.2% of the vote!
In third place with 22% was top girl, Aisleyne! I thought Davina was a bit condescending during her interview. “Actually to be fair, Aisleyne, you did cry more than any other housemate …”. Well, duh! Big Brother and the other housemates put her through more crap then anyone else in there. Given the hatchet job Big Brother/Endomol did on her, it’s great that she was in the final three and as far as I’m concerned she was the real winner of the night!
Glyn came second with 38.8%. During the course of the show, Glyn learnt how to cook an egg, how to get binge drunk and honk his guts up, all about women from his mate Mikey (Yes, the Mikey that’s shacked up with Grace just so that he can get a few magazine deals and cling on to z-list celebrity a little bit longer) and … that’s about it … oh and he learnt to wear dog tags and a beanie hat! A real journey, apparently! He also developed a taste for lap dances from silicon enhanced blondes and wanked off live on national tv into a condom which he then left in the diary room for Big Brother to dispose off. All this makes him an e role model for Welsh youth, according to Rhodri Morgan, First Minister for Wales. I guess he didn’t actually watch the show! GAH!
And then there was one! Pete got the title with staggering 61.2% of the vote! I suppose it was inevitable really. He was favourite from day one! I found his winner speech a little disturbing though!
“Last year,” he told Davina, “I was absolutely at the end of my tether with life and I had a huge visit from my mate in heaven and he showed me a spiral and at the top was heaven and the only way to remember who I was, was to go on Big Brother and win. That’s the only way to find who I was.”
No wonder he kept his gob shut for most of the show!
It’s the last day of Big Brother and in a few hours, we will find who the winner is. The final six are Jennie (300/1), Nikki (80/1), Richard (80/1), Glyn (8/1), Aisleyne (11/2) and Pete (2/7). So who wins? Well, YOU decide … unless of course C4/Endomol decide to change the rules once again!
Here’s the order I’d like to see them come out in.
Nikki She shouldn’t rightfully be in there because we voted her out once but I’m beginning to think it was a good idea putting her back in! Firstly, it’s cost Nikki fans a lot of money to do it and secondly, it’s shown her in her true colours: a spiteful, self-centred, shallow skank! As for the tantrums, well that joke just isn’t funny anymore. If the bookies are to believed she’s fighting to hold on to fourth place!
Jennie I’ve not really formed any opinion of her. Maybe she hasn’t been in the house long enough or maybe … she’s just boring!
Glynn I never really brought the gormless school boy act! I just think he’s a spoilt brat! People say he’s been on a journey during his time in the house but … well, I’d just like to see him go on a journey back to Wales!
Richard He’s provide a lot of entertainment in the house and he managed to annoy the hell out of the Plastics but he’s got a bit of a nasty streak and he was pretty horrible to Shabaz!
Pete He’s a decent enough person but he’s just coasted through the show! So I don’t think he deserves to win! And the stuff about his dead friend coming down from Heaven to tell him he should win the prize sounds a bit odd to say the least, considering he’s spent the last thirteen weeks saying he wasn’t interested in material things!
Which leaves Aisleyne! So why should you vote for Aisleyne? Grace Dent sums it up nicely in her blog.
From around day 56, I had my eye on Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace as a person I thought had the qualities to win. Regardless of what anybody thinks of Ash, whether she’s moody, emotional or just a “tart”, the fact is, there is no other housemate who has weathered as many storms or progressed as far as Ash has during BB7.
Crucially, there is not one other housemate surviving who could have coped with everything that’s been chucked at her since day 12 without escaping in hysterics via the back door. Maybe Richard, although direct attacks really do unsettle him.
Ash arrived at a disadvantage on day 12, with the cliques in full swing, with only Sam, a clingy transsexual, as her true contemporary. Sam was no use whatsoever as a support for Ash – in fact she was a further emotional leech.
Within minutes, Grace, Sezer and Mikey had Ash carved up as a “common slag” who “looks like ET”. Their instant hatred of Ash, based on her looks and her class, couldn’t have been more blatant. It was sink or swim for Ash from the very start. Ash swam.
She took on Sezer (where everyone else had failed), put on her best Elsie Tanner face, toughened her “ghetto girl” armour and fronted them all out. It sent the Plastics ballistic.
I remember putting on the live feed on day 13 and watching Ash, not cowering in the bedroom, but sitting bold as brass on the sofa in a skimpy mini-dress, smoking a fag and looking like Lily Savage on a day off, laughing heartily with Lea. “Good for you, lass,” I thought. Weeks of upset ensued as the women squabbled and bickered.
When Golden Girl Susie arrived, I respected Ash for upholding the clearly risible, archaic view that an older woman’s maturity, experience and wisdom is something worthy of respect. Imagine that?!
Sadly, 43-year-old Susie’s treatment at the hands of all the other younger women, like Nikki and Grace, was nothing short of disgusting. I hope it haunts them in later years when their “sell-by date” looms closer.
When Grace and Nikki stole Susie’s belongings and did their war dance, Ash burst into tears with frustration. When Grace chucked water in Susie’s face on eviction night, Ash was the only person to shout forcefully at Grace in the heat of the incident. And she didn’t accompany Grace to the door to give her a cheery goodbye like everyone else.
Ash then had to endure being called an “arse-licking slag” by Mikey for a further week. To date, Ash is the only person I have ever seen take Grace to task over the water incident. Richard was a pure letdown. All that Ash has gleaned from any of this is a reputation as a troublemaker.
I like the way Ash has a variety of silly laughs – each one more stupid than the last one – from amused walrus to asthmatic hyena. I like the way she sings like Hilda Ogden when she’s doing the housework.
I like the way that she actually gets stuck in and does the housework, which is more than can be said for the rest of the dirty, lazy bunch who think skid marks and pubic hairs remove themselves.
I like the way she has a worse bad-boyfriend history than me. I like the way that every time you think she should be prime minister, she does something stupid and flawed like snogging Nikki during Spin the Bottle. Ash, why?!
I admire the way Ash eventually said to Lea what every single person in Britain thought about Lea’s creepy, suffocating hold on Pete. “You got a problem with me, Ash?” Lea quacked in front of the whole bedroom on day 43. Ash looked at her for a moment, then said: “Yeah, I have got a problem with you. I’m sick of you manipulating people in here and using emotional blackmail to get what you want.”
Lea was gobsmacked. A few days later, after three weeks of enduring Nikki’s tiresome, selfish tantrums, Ash was the very first person to speak up and say something. She only said one word, mind: “Boring.”
In both these instances, total carnage ensued. I’ve never seen anyone stand up to Nikki since. Ash has been painted for evermore as a “bully” and a “stirrer”, vilified in every tabloid and spin-off show and presented as the “unpopular BB7 bitch”. It’s all fabulously, gorgeously ironic.
Personally, rather than being a bitch, I actually think Ash is a vision of restraint. By day 43, if either Lea or Nikki had said: “Got a problem with me?” I would have still been talking them expressively through “my problems” as the policewomen handcuffed me, tied my feet together and carried me to the riot van.
Every eviction night people have turned up to scream “Get Ash out!” during Davina’s links. That must have been a nice feeling keeping Ash warm in bed for 80 nights. Eventually, Ash was “evicted”. She reached the top of the stairs, her legs buckling under her, then was brought back in and placed in a secret house with five new housemates whom she was forced to evict one by one.
I still believe Ash going back into the real house one week later in her addled, sobbing state was one of the lowest moments in reality-TV history ever. She bounced back, of course – she always does. What a bloody summer this girl has had.
Obviously, since then, we’ve enjoyed Spiral’s unwanted advances (“Ash is a prikkktease!” squealed the Trashleen hatterz), the machiavellian test-result saga, the audition-VT drama. We’ve enjoyed Grace Adams-Short being brought back into the house purposefully to take Ash on. To Ash’s credit here, she held her own during the circus show and admonished Grace again about attacking Susie.
Meanwhile, Pete hid by the urinals pretending to have found something extra fascinating in his groin region, which needed 21 minutes of examination. So brave.
Maybe Pete had found another celestial message down there telling him he was God’s chosen winner. Because, let’s face it, if Pete takes the prize tonight, it will certainly feel like a load of old balls.
Pete seems to have had a vision. Well, he actually had it a good few months back but for some strange reason he’s only just managed to remember it now three days before the final. In the vision, Pete’s dead friend came down from Heaven and told him that he would win Big Brother and now Pete is worried that if he doesn’t win that it’ll mean there’s no such thing as Heaven.
I’m not sure what kind of vision Saint Pete had but that has got to be the best bit of emotional blackmail ever in the entire history of Big Brother: “Vote for Me! Me! Me! Or I won’t believe in Heaven anymore!” GAH!
Pete, I have some bad news for you about Santa and the Easter Bunny, you’d best sit down for this …
Now, I wouldn’t normally believe anything I read in the Daily Mail, but after the Rejects Return scandal, this article sounds about right!
Big Brother has fixed the show to stop Aisleyne from winning, it was claimed last night.
An insider said the busty blonde is the victim of a smear campaign to ruin her chances of beating Pete to the crown.
The 27-year-old has enjoyed a late rush of popularity, and is now second favourite to win behind Pete, after viewers tired of Pete and Nikki’s constant canoodling.
Her popularity has left Big Brother bosses in a panic.
The show insider said bosses are ‘engineering’ a final night involving Pete and Nikki and are deliberately showing Aisleyne is a bad light at every opportunity to turn viewers off her.
And indeed, those claims have been backed up by the past 24 hours of the show, which revealed her crying in the toilet, sulking, refusing to join a party, going to bed early and generally looking miserable.
The insider told the Daily Star: “BB never expected Ash to last to the final week and, to put it in management terms, she has been a ‘spanner in the works’. Ash’s hardcore support has been totally unexpected. And as a result tasks, editing and presenting have been engineered to produce a negative response to her.
“For more than a month BB has been planning a Pete/Nikki/Glyn final three. This is now looking very remote.
“Nikki’s volatile and unpredictable behaviour has put paid to it and ruined the bets of several employees here. What Big Brother did not expect is the swing in public support for Ash over the last week.”
A Big Brother spokeswoman denied any attempts to fix the show last night and told the Daily Star “everyone gets equal coverage.”
Last night the ex-housemates voted back into the house were: Grace, Lea, Nikki and Mikey! Oh! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Or not! According to Big Brother, viewers voted in their droves for the fave four REJECTS! Well, they would say that wouldn’t they! GAH! However, the news papers are reporting a slightly different story! Big Brother complaints soar. Ofcom and ictstis both say they have received around 2500 complaints which must be some kind of record.
Richard and Imogen are up for eviction this week.
Last night’s eviction show, during which Mickey and Susie became the eleventh set of evictees from Big Brother, was a display of shamelessness, stupidity and greed! This time, however, it wasn’t the housemates acting up, it was Channel 4/Endemol/Big Brother whose latest twist is to ask the viewers to vote back in four of the skanks that they’d voted out in previous weeks! GAH! The reason they were booted out in the first place is that we’re sick of the sight of them!
Just when you thought they’d floated out of your life forever … they’re back. And they mean business.
Ten evicted housemates will be back on Big Brother tonight, and this Tuesday four of them will be returning to the House Next Door.
Is your head spinning yet? Let us explain.
During tonight’s live double eviction show EIGHT ex-housemates were welcomed back.
Grace, Jayne, Lea, Lisa, Michael, Nikki, Sam, Spiral, plus the two recently evicted housemates will now have the chance to get back onto Big Brother stage, as phone lines open for viewers to vote for their FOUR favourite housemates to go back in to the secret House Next Door.
The evicted housemates will then have four days to campaign for votes in the outside world before returning for a special live show hosted by Davina McCall on Tuesday 8 August. That night, the FOUR ex-housemates receiving the most votes will move into the House Next Door.
But that’s not all … three days later, on Friday 11 August, straight after the main eviction, the housemates in the main House will have to choose just ONE of the evicted housemates to re-join them in the main house.
That housemate will live among them for the final week, and is eligible to win the series and the £100,000 prize.
