Big Brother 2012

I tend to only get the urge to post on this blog when something really excites or angers me
or creates a stir within my mind and today something has, therefore I need to unleash the demon within.
I'm a Big Brother fan, always have been and always will be, don't ask me why.... it's like a drug I just can't give up. This years BB has been one of the bitchiest ever, arguments all the time about stupid things, clearly there's a major personality clash going on with most housemates, but generally it makes for good TV so viewers are happy and even more so Channel 5 will be happy.
The reason I'm writing this today is to express how utterly appalled I am by some of the goings on recently, mainly last nights nominations drama. Firstly I think most of the nominations made by the friends and family weren't genuine and were made purely based on who they think their housemate would have nominated, with the exception of a few. Sara's Mam was great, very honest and to the point, as was Luke A's wife, I feel they nominated correctly and fair. Ashleigh's Dad was the most disappointing, how could he not vote for Luke S knowing what he's said about his daughter? He blatantly said that he entered the house knowing he would hook up, it wouldn't last on the outside and that she annoys him....... he's only sticking with her because he feels guilty. Bizarre!
Anyway I've lost my track, I was originally annoyed at something specific but I'm now annoyed at everything else!!
Back on track, what made me so mad to the point of exploding was Becky's reaction to what her Sister quoted from Luke A - firstly I was annoyed that Becky's Sister felt the need to say it in the first place, it's a dirty game to play, if all the other friends took that approach then the show would have to send in guards to stop the fighting. Becky isn't a saint, she's said some horrible nasty untrue things about other housemates, her reaction to the BMI comment was nothing but over the top dramatics, she has made it clear on many occasions that she has no intention of losing weight, she enjoys eating fatty unhealthy foods and loves her size, which is commendable, but you can't then go off on one when someone says you don't respect your BMI?? If Luke A made the comment about Deana or Sara who consciously try to keep healthy and slim then you could agree it was a malicious and unfair thing to say, but it wasn't. I just don't understand why Becky feels the need to react in this ALL the time. She keeps referring to Luke A's age, but at 19 she acts about 12 at times, I know people younger than her that act better and treat people with more respect.

And to top it off, the Soldiers comment...... you have to be pretty dam stupid to think Deana believes she is a real soldier or is purposely trying to insult the troops around the world. It's harmless banter between 3 friends.

I honestly think Luke A and Adam have a bond that will continue to grow outside the house, they have built a friendship that will last a very long time, I can't think of any of the other housemates that will make an effort to remain friends when it's all over, which says a lot really!!

  1. Luke a seems to be focused on becky. He should never have made that comment about her, regardless of what she says about herself. If he was so sorry about it, he should have said it before the nominations. You must remember her family & friends are watching this & it must be really hard for them. I think it's got out of control & people should stop making such vile comments about becky. Just concentrate on the people you want to win. It's just a game show

  3. The annoying thing is Luke wasn't really commenting on Becky's weight, but her attitude to it- which as you say has always been 'I don't care, give me more calories!'. Bitchy, but not *that* bitchy. On Bit on the Side, a clip showed Becky saying 'It's been the best 20 minutes of my life' and grinning so no, she's not upset, she just loves the drama.

    The soldiers thing was sooo stupid. I think Becky' sister has spent too much time reading the Daily Star. Her using actual soldiers as a stick to beat the outsiders with was far more disrespectful than their ongoing 'we're fighting a war here' joke.

    1. The press have printed terrible things about becky. If it was my daughter in there I would be devastated. She,s 19yrs old. Please everyone remember it's a game show. None of us know how we would react in that house. Just spare a thought for her family & keep supporting your fav HM x

  4. Jods - Thanks, appreciate it :-)
    Anon - I know where your coming from, but Becky has been far from nice to anyone, even people she calls her friends she says nasty stuff about them. Other people have said worse things and Becky hasn't took offence, it's just because she doesn't like Luke A. But everyone has an opinion :-)

  5. Absolutely spot on! How is it that BB allows them to know that comment but yet Deana still doesn't know what Conor said abt her & the epilator??? How is that fair? I'm so disgusted by the bias BB has shown this year- its supporting bullying behaviour pure and simple. I'm thinking hard abt whether to continue watching next year. And that's a disappointing thought coz I've been a fan since the very beginning.

  6. TOTAL TRUE!!!
    She's just kicking up a fuss for the cameras yet majority of people dislike
    Her sister seems just as bad as her, for stirring and other things! lol

  7. Anon2 - Couldn't agree more, she loved the drama of it all, and Becky's sister was pretty much clutching at straws trying to turn something innocent into sudden hatred towards Deana, fortunately I don't think it worked. Thanks for reading :-)

  8. Naia - don't give up just yet, I'm a die hard fan aswell but you've got to take the rough with the smooth. Big brother have reprimanded the 'insiders' quite a few times for bullying behaviour or inappropriate comments. Like I said above, it was Becky's sister who decided to play dirty and give quotes from 'private' conversations. Stick with it :-) thanks for reading.
    Anon2 - Yea I agree, 2 peas in a not very nice pod lol thanks for reading.

  9. *makes jokes about her own weight all season long, hides food under her bed, asks for more food while on bike so as not to burn calories and makes other nasty comments like wanting a schlong so she can piss all over Adam and Luke A*

    *someone she disrespected states the fact that her apathy towards her BMI mimics her behaviour with them*

    *proceeds to put on a show*

    "It was just...ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. NEVUH IN MAH LYFE ..I JUST...AH CANT. AH CANT. AM LITERALLY FUMING. HOW DARE HE?! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. OHH!!"

    *claps thighs together* ;-D

  10. Becky has well and truly shot herself in the foot with this...thanks to her ridiculous family trying to play dirty. The whole basis of Becky's entry VT was based around her not only being big, but proud of it. She's regularly referred to herself as fat, and even obese, and has made a huge issue of not liking exercise or healthy food, and proudly stated that she would eat all the food. It was only the day previous, during the confessions task that Becky announced that she had a mountainous stash of food under her bed, and despite the fact that there was only chocolate and biscuits to eat due to Caroline's sabotage of the shopping, and describing the others as starving, she totally refused to share it, saying she would eat it all herself.
    In my opinion, Becky having histrionics over someone saying she's doesn't respect her BMI, when this is clearly fact is nothing but hypercritical.

  11. Becky - hilarious, loved that! Spot on!! Cheers.
    Jonah - totally agree with you!
    Thank you both for reading!

  12. I totally agree with you!

    Becky was over dramatic and knew she'd get air time by acting in the way she did, and to add you had Conor, Luke S and Ashleigh adding to there 2 pence. Let us NOT forget what Conor said about Deana, and I think that if Deana's friend should have told the house exactly what he said.

    As for Ashleighs dad, he probably didn't want to upset his daughter in anyway therefore he didn't nominate Luke S. However her dad does look like a protective father (if you get my drift) and I doubt he 100% likes Luke S after the comments he made.
