How desperate do you have to be for press that you put someone with a very known history of anti-Semetic, Nazi imagery in the house at a time when anti-Semitism is rife in the UK?

That's what I didn't get. Tila's tweets were well-known. Like you had to be living under a rock to not know about them. But I think they should've just let her stayed. She would've brought more drama and press had they allowed her to stay until her eviction. 

 

But what is boggling my mind is how I am rooting for Farrah of all people. She stands for everything I don't like but I didn't appreciate how Austin and Natasha have already started a witch hunt for her. Hopefully, Austin and Natasha are early boots b/c they are already getting on  my nerves.

HATE the theme. UK vs US? Not only is it biased given where this it being filmed, it kind of feels like a very tacky concept

 

They couldnt pick better Americans? Seriously, they went out of their way to cast some very vile and unlikeable characters whereas the British cast members are more of the family friendly, safe group. If this is what people's impressions of Americans was, Id be offended. Im disgusted and grossed out, especially by Jenna Jameson. I havent seen her in years and she looks fat and and gross with all those tattoos. Like ewwww.

 

Tila Tequila....no comment.

 

Farah.....another porn star?

 

Fatman Scoop is the only saving grace

I'm not a big fan of the concept b/c it caters to just the British contestants and no matter how repulsive the British contestants are, one of them is ensured a win regardless. That aside, I'm only watching b/c I know this cast is going to be explosive. They are filling the void that BBUSA has left once again. 

 

When it comes to the US contestants, I actually like Farah and Jenna, who I didn't think I'd like. Jenna is actually one of the more levelheaded contestants, and she's already peeped Austin's card. I applauded her too when she called him out on being hard on Farrah when he too has a past of being an ass on reality TV. 

 

Scoop and Janice are surely to be fan favorites with the British contestants and audience b/c they are naturally big personalities. I'm liking that Janice is onto Austin a bit too. I see those two butting heads in the near future as well.

 

With Daniel, I am on the fence. I remember him being a hot ass mess on Celebrity Fitness Club and Celebrity Rehab, so I'm skeptical when it comes to him. Now that he is supposedly sober, I hope he does not become a smug, religious nut like his brother, Stephen, or an erratic mess like Alec. 

 

Out of the Brits, I only like Sherrie, James, and Bobby. Chris gives me vibes like he thinks he's above all of this. Stevi, Chloe, and Gail give me nothing really. And I don't care for Natasha at all.

Loving this season, lots of varied personalities.

 

Farah is awful. I can't stand how she pronounces the word "feel"...she pronounces it "fill". She is ridiculous with how she's getting into arguments with everyone. She's 24 but looks about 35, in this oddly frozen in time look first innovated by Tori Spelling. She is 100% despicable white trash. And she's not bright: once your American reality TV career has to go to Channel 5 in the UK (which is NOT prestigious) you're circling the toilet bowl of relevancy and acting like a total bitch isn't going to get you any more work going forward. She'd be wise to save this paycheque, go to community colleges and end up one of those bitchy women who work in offices across the Midwest. 

 

Jenna Jameson is, so far, extremely well spoken and level headed. As is Janice, who seems so sober and centred as well. She certainly butted heads with Austin, but he's an idiot and thinks very highly of himself for 27.

 

I'm also liking Sherrie (of course, she is lovely), Bobby, Scoop and James.

Oh Janice, just when she seems cool she shows herself to be so selfish and lazy. Her conflict with Jenna about her kosher fridge was so unnecessary. And then spitting at James? Oh Janice, she has all the potential to be a calm, smart woman. And then her innate sense of entitlement rears its ugly head. 

 

Austin isn't wrong about Farah. Her mind clearly stopped developing at 16. She is so very stupid and outlandish and likely mentally off and very entitled in a sense that's far beyond who she is. 

 

I am not getting nearly enough Sherrie - she's being totally ignored by the editors.

I wish we had a Celebrity BB here in the US but I doubt anyone truly would want to be on it.

Oh I am sure they could round up a long list of D-list celebs to play a celeb version of Big Brother here in the US. Heck, they could persuade all the Americans that played BBUK's version to play the US version. Especially since there's a big prize at the end. 

 

But when it comes to the Brits, if the British audience votes on who provides the least amount of drama, the Brits are screwed. Minus James and occasionally Natasha, all the British game players bring nothing to the table. I don't see people getting rid of Janice, Farrah, Jenna, or Austin any time soon. Those four drive drama in this house.

LMAO! Just Say NO to D-List celebrities.... knowing them they'd probably get Heidi and Spencer, Farrah, Tila and a few more. I want A and B.... maybe one or two C.

which is exactly why they will go. Farrah especially will leave this week bc the British public does not like vile and she's the worst. I personally cant stand the couple and find them cringeworthy. The girl especially is annoying and needs to go

I actually don't see Farrah going this week. I actually see the public getting rid of Chris this week b/c he bring absolutely nothing to the show. While the reception for Farrah is bad, most BBUK fans on Twitter have expressed she needs to stay b/c she (along with the other Americans) are the only ones bringing drama. I think that BBUSA, BBUK's production team will keep who they wanna keep and it's Farrah. 

 

After seeing Perez skate by as long as he did last year and he was just as vile, I see Farrah making it till next week. I think the first American that'll end up getting the boot will either be Austin or Daniel. Possibly Scoop. I think the three girls will be the last ones standing as they generate the most drama.

Most of the British ones have been a waste of time, and they have better celebrities than we do over here.

Perez was more famous that Farrah. She's a relative unknown. I dont see the three American girls staying till the end. I think Jenna and Janice might but not Farrah. She'll be one of the first American's chucked out of there. Chris...you may be onto something bc I honestly cant recall who that is

 

As for the production, I dont think UK is like US. There's less manipulation here and its bc unlike the US, viewers pay to vote. It would be too much of a scandal if they tampered with results and they'd be sued and shut down if that let out.. Watching the regular series, Ive seen them get rid of controversial characters early on in favor of boring ones, so I dont think they just ignore the votes and choose who they want to stay
