Anyone watching? Makosi is already getting into heated arguments with people...lol. Im glad she and Nikki are in bc they were 2 of my faves in the past. Im upset that so many Celeb BB contestants are in this. Id have preferred it only been the main series

[Cat]

Are Coolio and John McCririck already gone?! What a shame. Those two were great pot-stirrers. Guess Makosi will play that role now.

Lawd forgive me but the are-they-aren't-they relationship between exes Preston and Chantelle is already drawing me in.

[Cheap21]

Yay! Im not the only one watching. John was the first one evicted. He wanted it that way. He was fun while he was there but his last day he went on a talking strike, which killed his excitement. Coolio "walked" about a day later. He tried to play a prank on Nadia and she flipped out and complained to BB about him. He was broguht to the DR and said he wasnt going to cahnge his behavior or attitude and that was the last we saw of him

Unforutnately Maksoi was evicted on Friday. Such a shame bc I liked her. Her flashback task was hilarious. Nadia followed her out the door. I heard that she's been suicidal and has not made any appearnces since. She went in as the crowd favorite and left the most hated. I dont think she was ready for that. Did you see Plate Gate? Nadia and Ulrika had a massive fight and Nadia was vile. I dindt mind though as I dont like Ulrika.

Im loving Chantelle and Preston too. I wasnt watching when they are on but it so obvious theres still love there. She loves him and I think he loves her but isnt in love with her. Its refreshnig how they can be exes an so civil with each other.

Vanessa Feltz was put in the house a few days ago. I didnt watch her season, but I never could stand her when she showed up to offer her opinion on BBLB or Big Mouth

[Cat]

I didn't even know they were going to do a UBB -- I thought they would put in a new bunch of wannabes (snore) to end the series forever, but this is so much better! Especially as they are mixing up both BB and Celebrity BB contestants.

I haven't kept up since early last week as I've been away on vacay. Last time I checked, Makosi was fixing to rumble with Ulrika (who is a superbitch but at least owns it). Too bad the Great British Public were stupid enough to vote the one pot-stirrer in the house out. Feltz is a bore in comparison.

I need to look up that Nadia meltdown -- it surprises me she would be so awful.

I keep hoping Preston will fall for Chantelle again. She may be a bit of a bimbo but she comes across as a genuinely caring and decent person.

Interesting that nobody from CBB: Racism (Shilpa Shettygate) has been put on the show. I'd love to see Jo and that glamour model get their just deserts. Those two were truly vile.

[DRW50]

What they didn't mention on the show was that apparently, according to people in the house, Coolio constantly made transphobic comments towards Nadia. Makosi said that Coolio asked she and Michelle to put their hand under Nadia's dress to see if she had a penis. Marco, Nadia's friend, goes into more detail.

Nadia also made the mistake of criticizing the relationship between John James and Josie, which angered their fans and made them vote to evict her. (The same happened to John in the first eviction I think).

[Cat]

LMAO! The Tree of Temptation is back and I love that sonovabitch. And Victor was an awesome patsy ("You make out like I'm the Jack bauer of bitching!") as he threatened to turn the tree into firewood. Loved it when he had to spend the day dressed up as a tree.

Woah, two drinks in Ulrika and she is ready to mack on anybody.

Feel so bad for Chantelle because she still has unresolved feelings for Preston while Preston has obviously moved on. Having said that, everybody in UBB has aged except for Chantelle who looks more stunning than when she was first on CBB.

I need to find Nadia's exit interview which I heard was a big nervous breakdown. Poor Nadia.

[Cheap21]

Oh lord, I cant stand that damn tree. I hate how rude, insulting and bullying it is. Best moment was Ben outing it to the entire house and refusign to do his task. That made me a fan of him. I thought BB would have dropped it after that as the twist was revealed but they've kept it up

[Cat]

Vanessa and Michelle were evicted yesterday. Eh. No big loss.

Cheap, I love the Tree of Temptation precisely because it is so rude. These celebs have a good life on the whole: they make a ton of money for little-to-no work, usually, and will be well-compensated when they leave the house by doing exit interviews. So I think a little kick up the ass from the Tree is a small price to pay.

Ulrika was such a bitch to Chantelle in last night's show. Damn.

[Cheap21]

maybe, but I hated the tree last season, as those housemates were not high paid celebrities, just regular people.

Ulrika is a bitch. I cant beleive she won her season. I didnt watch it but usually the public dont like that type of person. She is vile.

[Cheap21]

Its finally over I love how Channel 4 sent it off. That was a very fitting finale night. I nearly teared up at their tribute to Jade. Really she should have been in that house but unforunately that wasnt meant to be. She truly was an amazing housemate. Im upset Brian won as I really wanted it to be Nikki, but at least she got second place.

[Cat]

I, too, was surprised how heartfelt the "goodbye to BB" was. I know it is just a reality show but Davina McCall in particular brought home how much the show meant to her and the people working behind the scenes.

And ITA, if Jade had been alive, she would have been the first person back in the house for UBB. In fact, I was surprised the UBB house did not have a portrait of her up on the wall as commemoration. She was THE ultimate BB housemate, the one by which all others are measured. The tribute they did for her was very sad. IA with Max Clifford that Jade's fight with Shilpa wasn't about racism, it was about class -- and I was/am firmly on Shilpa Shetty's side throughout that whole debacle. And Jade certainly did not deserve what she went through -- a horrible illness that should have been detected early on.

I was bummed to see her crazy, crackhead mother featured, though. That woman has always leached onto her daughter.

I'm glad Brian won. He is a natural when it comes to answering questions. I think he should return to presenting TV. He used to do kiddies' TV and he was quite good. Nikki looked like a deer in headlights but I love her crazy ways. She really is Vanessa Feltz's Mini-Me. I also loved the Chantelle and Preston interviews. Preston looked a little shell-shocked, and I think Chantelle realized as soon as she got out of the house that she and he were never going to reunite.

It was a great little show. Perhaps it is good that it ended now, on a high.

[Cheap21]

I have to say Jackie looked good for a crackhead. This was the best she's ever looked

Davina McCall WAS Big Brother. She's an icon and she was a perfect fit bc she really did love the show. Im also glad they got Dermot back and he even got to host a special. He was an icon as well and I missed him. I wish they had been able to get Russel Brand as well bc he was hilariious on Big Mouth

[Cat]

Russell Brand = big movie star! LOL! But I was glad to see Dermot, too. Such a little hottie.

Davina was the heart-and-soul of BB. Just as much as Jade or Brian or Nikki were. She got dissed for her interviewing technique because she wasn't sneery or hardball with the housemates but I think that is a reflection of how much she loved the people who went on that show. She identified with them, to a certain extent, and in some cases she managed to pull out revelations that tougher interviewers would never have gotten. I don't think Preston and Chantelle would have opened up on Friday night with somebody else the way they did with Davina.

[DRW50]

She was very hardball if she disliked the housemate. That was one of the reasons a lot of people got tired of her. Like the season where she didn't really make her love of "Bex" and "Luke" (two very fake, annoying personalities) very quiet and when they lost out to the more boring Rachel, she let Rachel have it.
