Bet the British audience feels stupid yet again. First, they were bamboozled into giving Scotty, the so-called single chap, the win only to find out he was using Megan as a PR stunt while out on the town with his real girlfriend. Now we have these two. 

That came out before he won though.

 

I think they voted for Scotty mostly because he was just sort of there, harmless enough. The only other option was Tiffany and the audience is too sexist and racist to ever vote for a black woman.

Oh I remember it coming out beforehand but no one who voted for him adamantly didn't wanna believe it until shots of him with his girlfriend came out then they were crying foul. 

 

This season ended badly b/c Channel 5 was trying to ensure Scotty won when he was undeserving. Final 2 should've been John and Tiffany IMO.

I think they would have preferred a Stephanie win. Scotty was pretty much a default winner. It probably makes them happier than others winning but Stephanie got the big push.

 

John was too unpleasant for me to support.

As ironic as it is, David Gest is dead:

Oh wow. Poor guy. RIP

It's baaaaaack. 

 

It's baaaaaack. 

And Renee was high as hell! I wonder how many pills she swallowed before she got in that house bc she was loopy and obviously on something. I thought she was going to fall down the stairs when she entered

Renee looked the worse for wear. I hope it was just nerves and not pills - imagine the withdrawals in that place if she didn't have her stash? 

 

It is a shame Beth Chapman of Dog The Bounty Hunter fame couldn't get a visa to enter the UK due to her record. But, can't blame the UK for not wanting someone with a record in their borders.

 

 

This cast is so good - brilliant chemistry. 

 

I'm rooting for Biggins, Samantha, Renee and Aubrey. They all seem to be there to have a laugh. 

 

I'm disliking Saira and Bear. They're different characters, but they're both pretty annoying.  

 

Grant Bovey, a love rat if there ever was one, but he's likeable to a degree, so he may repair his image slightly.

I really can't stand Bear. He needs to go ASAP - he's trash. And he totally lied about how Saira asked if he'd ever punched someone - which his silence inferred, yes of course he has. Bear is nasty and annoying. 

 

Heavy D doesn't understand what the word 'patronizing' means. Thankfully, Renee was there to correct him while adding the "everybody's gotta crack someone as a man!" Renee is a lot tougher and harder than Heavy D thinks he is. Saira should have handled Heavy D's apology better.

 

Saira and Marnie's argument...well of course Saira turned it around on Marnie - Marnie's very dumb - you could make a drinking game off of Marnie saying "D'you know what I mean?!" I am glad James said it was unnecessary that Marnie pulled that flashing her chest to Saira. He's absolutely right and it seems Samantha agreed with him.

 

It seems this may be a clash of young vs vets. I'm rooting for the showbiz vets.

 

I'm disliking Saira and Bear. They're different characters, but they're both pretty annoying.  

 

I loved Saira at first as she had a good first two days but she's awful now. Cant stand her. I wasnt with her when she was questioning Bear as it did look manipulative and IMO, out of line to insinuate he might hit her

 

 

Bear is so gross and stupid. Lewis lost major points with me when he didn't conclude that Bear is just plain stupid - he's overconfident because there's nothing going on between his ears.

Christopher Biggins was ejected from the house for comments he made. Apparently this will be shown on today's episode. There is a transcript on Digital Spy, someone claiming a transcript of the conversation that got him ejected. Apparently it was fake.

I love this show and the finale is tomorrow! 

 

So long as Bear doesn't win I'll be happy. Aubrey destroyed him in yesterday's episode - I think the world released a sigh of relief that someone finally shut him up and exposed how insecure and weak he is. 

Not even worth commenting on. Another pisspoor finale with an undeserving winner. Bear literally ruined this entire season for me and he got rewarded for it
