John's chicken statement is under investigation with Ofcom now. 

 

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/ofcom-assessing-celebrity-big-brother-7171204

 

That is hilarious. OfCom does have to investigate most complaints and often they come to nothing...but it reflects poorly on John and makes him a liability going forward in his career.

Good. I hope it does affect him going forward. He is an !@#$%^&*]. 

 

Tonight didn't help him either. His reason for nominating Darren was suspect as hell. I feel like he is trying to do damage to Darren and it is already starting to happen. The other hgs were starting to talk about Darren and his smoking. Someone pointed out on Twitter that they think that John is trying to remove his biggest competition (Tiffany, Angie, Darren) and I can see it. He knows that Angie and Tiffany's explosive personalities will keep them in the game for the long haul, and Darren, being the other nice guy, will most likely ensure him a spot in the finals, which could chip at John's chances of winning. However, his antics have caused him to become loathed by the audience and they now want him out. 

 

I hate that Tiffany had to act docile tonight but it worked in her favor along with her being one of the few eating the egg and doing all the other tasks. She regained a lot of people that were mad at her yesterday. 

 

I do wish that Kristina and John would've gotten one more nomination b/c their asses would've been up too. I do see Kristina and Tiffany exchanging words in the next few days b/c Kristina's stank attitude ain't gonna sit well with Tiffany.

A lot of people are calling out BOTS too b/c they feel that Jonathan shouldn't've gotten an interview on that show seeing as he is considered a "walker." I agree even though he did make an argument that Tiffany is the most deserving winner while majority of the others are not. 

 

How long have they been watching the show? Channel 5 has always let walkers onto BOTS. 

 

It's funny because I have always found John Partridge to be offputting - it's one of the reasons it took years for me to stomach Christian on Eastenders. Sometimes I dislike someone onscreen and it turns out they're perfectly nice IRL, but sometimes...not so much.

Is the OP of that thread being facetious?

 

If so, I get it. Otherwise, I am shocked and appalled if he/she isn't. 

 

I was the same way with Christian/John Partridge too. This experience has solidified my dislike for him. He should've just stuck to acting and keep the air of mystery about himself. He's destroyed his career thanks to this show. He can join Antony Cotton in the trash box bin.

 

John's nomination of Darren, and his manipulative behaviour with him afterwards, made me sick. What an awful, basically evil, prick. He is so manipulative and he's destroying whatever public image he may have had before entering the house. He is dreadful. He needs to go, very badly.

 

Tiffany is playing the game, she got most of the house back on her side by eating that disgusting egg.

 

Megan is a lunatic. You'd think she goes hungry regularly.  

Megan's blowup was a ploy in my book for the simple reason that she was just talking about Nikki Grahame yesterday and then emulates Nikki's blowup tonight. 

Megan is so irrelevant. Every thing she does is a desperate ploy for airtime

 

Kristina...I cant stand this hoe. Tiff's nomination was perfect. Something to the effect of the best way you can avoid me is to walk out that door.....LOL

Ooo! I want that bitch gone more than John at this point. John will eventually shoot himself in the foot if he already hasn't. Kristina needs to go now b/c they'll just allow her ass to slide through b/c she's pregnant with her wh*re ass. 

Tiffany is a f-cking star. I don't give a damn. The day she is evicted is the day this season will go to crap. 

LOVED NY going in on Gemma. She is making the show for me

 

LOL at people laughing at Meagan's tantrum. Bitch sit your ass down. No one's interested. I dont like John but I cant even get behind her bc she looks so fake and ridiculous

Edited January 14, 20169 yr by Cheap21

@Cheap21 Did your ass have to make that gif?!  You got me over here rolling. 

 

Megan going off was sad and pathetic. I am glad she did call John out but her going at Tiffany was stupid and pointless. Her calling Tiffany a 'ghetto c-nt' didn't do her justice either. Via BOTS, she got a warning over that comment today.

LOL...I found it on Tumblr and it had me rolling too. Im glad this task is over bc it was like another day at the plantation with NY having to be subordinate to her master John. PUKE.

 

Good, Im glad she gor a warning. I hope they did it when she sobered up bc she was too messy while drunk

Yeah. They did it early this morning. 

 

Another thing that had me rolling was when Gemma said, "Your big feet knocked the stones out," and Tiffany quickly rebutted, "Your big everything knocked them stones out." 

 

 

That spar along with this one: 

 

Gemma - Those shows are meant for beautiful women.
Tiffany - She said they have to be worn by a beautiful woman, so she should have put them back on the rack.

 

And she went on to call the shoes 'old maiden!!!' 

 

Oh how I've missed Tiffany's ass on TV!

Stephanie is so incredibly irrelevant. I cannot fathom why they had to cast her. Wasn't someone else from a UK soap available? I sincerely hope she's the one evicted because I can't keep watching her irrelevant moans about what a slut she is. 

 

Tiffany was incredible and hilarious this episode, worth every cent Channel 5 paid her. The lines about the shoes, alone, were hysterical.

 

Meghan had a psychotic break but she wasn't wrong about John. He's everything she said, and more. 

I just can't even. I just can't do it with this show. I am going to be in my grave when this show is over. Tiffany "New York" Pollard IS Celebrity Big Brother 2016. She started off slow and they may not want to mess with her, but she IS this show!! I LIVE! Her Gemma rant damn near killed me. The only reason my heart kept beating is because I wanted to see how it ended. I LOVE HER! Megan is crazy as hell, but she was right. I need to see who is going home. I need to see what happens next. This season is becoming epic. As soon as David Bowie died as horrible as it is to think, it has kicked right off.
