Caught me by surprise again. Only really heard of Keith Chegwin (from Swap Shop days) and Ken Morley (from when I used to watch Corrie). I think I once saw Katy Hopkins on 'The Apprentice. Despite Emma's paeans of anticipation, not a very prepossessing group.
Katy proclaims her Britishness by complaining half the group are American. And during her spitefulness task of choosing two least entertaining housemates, she picked on Alexander... Acting or not, she presents herself as a survivalist crusader of the worst sort.
...a report from the Ukipland of Clacton on Sea.

EDIT: Corrected 'Alec' to 'Ken'

Good afternoon, Des. It's good to be back! I will be posting the day after each episode of BB for the forseeable future due to circumstances beyond my control.
Firstly, I liked the owl at the start of the show. I collect owls (not real ones) and that one is interesting - intellegent, wise, all seeing, and probably more entertaining than some of the contestants on the show. And he is a creature of beauty.

Katy Hopkins was first up, rather out of favour in Scotland at the moment because of sweaty jock and ebola bombs tweets. She is looking forward to being bored but will try to be a pantomime villain. (shouldn't be too hard as this comes naturally to her).
She was tasked with going into the magic mirror to judge the two most boring HMs and was to pass a dashing commentary on them all. I agreed with the white trainers/black socks critique of one HM, but otherwise her poisonous comments were somewhat lacklustre. However, given time...What she does have is a certain relish for being the baddie - I have a funny feeling we're going to come to appreciate la Hopkins!

Next in was the delectable Patsy Kensit who has drunk from the Fountain of Youth and never seems to age. The woman is pushing 50 and looks nothing like it. She is even still cute. She did remark that Mel Gibson once called her Sugar Tits. I suppose that would be memorable but surely she could have found something more meaningful to relate?

Next, some confusion. I thought Emma announced Paris Hilton and was therefore shocked to see a rather hirsute male in Oh, I thought, I thought Paris was female. Transgender? You never know these days.However, it was Perez Hilton (Paris's brother) who stood beside Emma. He's a gossip columnist, an internet version of Hedda Hopper. He doesn't care if he's disliked and the combat fatigues he was wearing suggested he was ready for a great deal of dislike.

Next to enter was Ken Morley of Coronation Street fame. There's more to him than meets the eye - balding, bespectacled, creased suit - he specialises in low key remarks that are actually very amusing.

Camili arrived next. She is an alternative tattoo model. It's one of the signs that you are growing old when you don't even know what a profession is. Just in case her tats didn't attract enough attention, she wore a plunging halter neck which revealed all. Whenever she moved and we got a side view, her you-know-whats swung like a pendulum. Fascinating. She also was the only contestant to swear constantly. Mouth like a sewer.
She claims to be 'cray' whatever that is.

Callum Best followed. Son of George best. Which seems to be his only claim to fame. He talked a lot about Best Snr. so I am unable to form an opinion of him except that he seems self pitying.

Alicia, sometimes known as the Bride of Frankenstein, came next. She is a glamour model who wants to look like Barbie. She's had more than 30 cosmetic surgeries costing a total of a million dollars and had sex with Simon Cowell 11 times in one night. So there.
Her face looks as if it might break and is definitely scary. Waste of a million dollars.

Alexander O'Neill hove into view like a whale on the horizon. Apparently he was a big star singer in the 80s. I must admit his fame has passed me by. I couldn't make out what he was saying either.

Nadia Sawalha looks fun.She's a TV presenter and cook book writer and once won Cwelebrity Master Chef. I liked her laugh and she clearly doesn't take herself too seriously. Refreshing.

I don't know what to make of Jeremy Jackson who once played David Hasselhof's son in Baywatch (beat Leonard di Caprio to the part). Such early fame did him some damage and he's now a self declared F-up, neat freak, and an ordained minister. Only in America...

Kavana is a washed up singer, also ravaged by too much success too young. He once toured with Boyzone.
That's enough to ravage anyone.
Other contestants were somewhat concerned that he might have another nervous breakdown on the show.

Michelle Visage is a loud Amercan who declared herself a bitch with a heart of gold. She's a singer. a Madonna look alike (personally I think she looks more like Maleficent and will be prone to appearing out of a green glowing ball.), and an ex-strip club worker. She also says she's there for all the outcasts who don't fit in , the freaks, the gays.
Somehow it doesn't seem right to class gays with freaks.

Chloe Goodman is a reality TV star, controversial, and a glamour model. Her montage showed her doind her laundry in her knickers and stilettos. Somehow she ended up almost in the washing machine with her backside sticking up in the air. Seems like a staple of BB and not at all controversial.


The last HM was Keith Chegwin, beaming happily, endlessly cheery and full of bonhomie. Too full. I distrust that happy chappy.

Katie chose Chloe to face the first public vote - the sight of her bum protruding from a Zanussi was obviously too much for her. Chloe will be accompanied by Alexander who may or may not be boring - it's hard to tell from his mumbles.

Katie herself has been cursed with kindness - she must be loving and kind and nice to everyone till further notice - or face dire consequences.

So they are all in the starting blocks and ready for the off. And Des and I are waiting!

Thanks. A wonderful aide memoire, Marion, for the benefit of all your fans who have followed you on this thread. Nearly up to 700,000 views.
You make this dubious set of housemates seem almost attractive! Cheggers belief!

I'm still not sure about this group. Only Ken Morley appeals to me so far. And that young chap with the beard and red trousers, what the dickens is he about?
Also, Alexander is right: he walks through the door, and is immediately branded one of the two most boring HMs! What is all that about? Although he doesn't say this himself, there is potentially something questionable about that choice!
Perez's reason for not sharing a bed, that also cheggers belief!

The world's arch tweeter, Perez Hilton, issued what was effectively an oral 'tweet' to Ken Morley last night, saying he thought Ken should feel afraid for his safety upon leaving the house. This was either Perez threatening Ken directly or Perez inciting others to do so, and he should have been chucked out alongside Ken.

This whole series is leaving a very nasty taste in the mouth.

Perez lies on his bed saying to himself and thus to us: "A happy Perez makes good television." He genuinely speaks in tweets.
And I think his reaction to Ken going was the act of the ultimate drama-sucking vampire.
I started by disliking Katie, but now I'm rooting for her - against Perez!
Last night's 'twist' - replacing the cancelled live eviction - was based on a genuine tontine, but the results were incredibly silly.

15.1.15
I am still fed up with this crowd, and Alicia annoys me, but not as much as the other young girls annoy me here, and the bit player men don't have enough character even to annoy me.
Only Katie and Alexander are worth attention. And Perez has gone into an annoyance realm beyond mere annoyance and that makes me block him as in the latest Charlie Brooker Black Mirror.

"The lock on my door broke and I was trapped outside in a snowstom. I am now re-Yaled and thawed out and ready to report on total confusion."

Hope you have recovered from that, Marion.

Last night was even more confusion and mayhem. Perez became a travesty of St Sebastian in mock near-naked orgasm, the invisible arrows penetrating him from all the viewers who justly spear him like the false Parsifal he is, all in the CBB garden against an outside window. This is sheer outrage. Meanwhile,some of the women squawked and shrilly brayed in unison cacophony of argument inside the bedroom and I had to put my hands over my ears, having just used them to help protect my sight from the antics of Perez.

This is TV gone completely and utterly putrid with humanity. This is far beyond anywhere TV has gone before whether it be drama or documentary. The issues behind the mayhem are completely lost. At least to me.

Then Katy Price replaces Chloe in the House!

2 Chronicles 4:17
In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

.18.1.15
The sponsoring advert (that usually appears before the beginning of each part of CBB) said, on one occasion last night: "I do not need a spotlight, because I am a spotlight". The adverts are all pieces of talking furniture from a firm called 'Gumtree'.
Which sounds like something Perez might have said, who is indeed up a gumtree. As we all are, while this show descends into not only Jordan's exploding breasts, but also a man on the borderline of dangerous (Perez, who once described Jeremy as similarly dangerous and now claims Alexander to be so). Katie Hopkins, too, skirts the edge of some abyss, I sense, and I flinch at her bitchy oratory but also admire it in the circumstances. This is one crazeeee experience, and not one to envy if you are not watching it, but if you want deep-seated horror and a glimpse of the state of humanity, then you've got it here in a very drama-documentary way beyond anything else TV has got to offer, which is not saying much, I suppose.
