I just heard on the news - yes the news! - that the Croydon girl got kicked out.
Why is it News?
Big Brother Page 22
Same reason the celebrity thing was news last year.

You're missing the point. BB fans, of which I'm one, are usually acutely aware that it's dumbed down TV that appeals to the lowest common denominator. We still like it, in the same way fatties like chocolate and alkies like alcohol.
Also, some of the greatest comedy creations of recent years have not come from BBC 3 sketch shows or the pen of Martin Amis, but from the Big Brother house. I defy anyone to write a character as funny as the Nikki or Brian from recent years. Or Alex this year.
And finally, it's one of the few shows on television where you can actually watch peoples dreams die before their very eyes. How cool is that?
I confess to watching them sleep at 2am when I was sleepy.
I was just thinking, a few of the people on here are only teenagers, aren't they? If so, it must be weird for them to have grown up watching this show, for almost half their life.
Yeah I've thought that before.
I remember the first one...
*sigh*
I read 1984 especially. Just to see why they'd called it Big Brother.
I think I was 10 when it first started (summer of 2000?) so yeah, I really can't remember a summer when it wasn't on.
Does anybody else think that Rebecca from this year's BB looks like the lead singer from Antony and the Johnsons?

I've had to grow up under Labour governments for more than half of my life!

Did anybody watch Alexandra trying to justify herself in tonights highlights episode? Talk about long African rivers!
She is a mental.
Her replacement! Is a boy!
Yay!
I thought they'd put in another girl.
A pretty boy, right?
