So it's that time of year again. And even a thread of the subject of Big Brother has to be better another fucking zombie thread.
This year's twist was putting a non-celeb in the house and giving her the task of trying to convince the real celebrities that she was a pop star. Yesterday, she succeeded and the truth has now been revealed to the housemates.
Here's a list of the housemates:
Pete Burns - a man with a lady's faece Dennis Rodman - a tall blacke man Jodie Marsh - boobs and tears George Galloway - anti-war man Preston [somebody] - an Ordinary Boy Michael Barrymore - depressing ex-sleb, aside from hitler impression Maggott - off of Goldie Looking Chain Rula Lenska - 70s actress Fariah [somebody] - i don't know who Traci [somebody] - off of Baywatch...? Chantelle [somebody] - the fake sleb
Has anyone watched any of this? Say something about it, please. You can start below here:Posts: 14015

Caught a glimpse of this the other night, Faria is Faria Alam, a nobody who shagged the then head of the FA, Mark Palios, and then Sven Goran Eriksson, and then sold the details to the press. So basically she's a 2-bit nobody with no taste, class or discretion, pretty much the standard choice for BB it seems.
The short bit I saw it seemed that Pete Burns and Michael Barrymore had taken an instant dislike to each other. Despite the potential of comedy arguing between a couple of has-beens I doubt I'll watch it though, the whole idea has been so done to death it's hard to see what can happen that hasn't happened at least once previously really.

There was a great bit last night where Chantelle emerged from the Diary Room, having been declared 'officially a celebrity' by Big Brother (in sneering, sarcastic mode). She was greeted by her delighted 'fellow celebrities' in scenes that reminded this viewer of the horrifying "One of us! One of us!" climax of Tod Browning's classic Freaks (1932).

I refuse to acknowledge "Big Brother" and its so-called celebrities (only two of which I have ever heard of).
Why are we not instead talking of the great FA Cup action over the weekend?

I saw the last five minutes of Luton holding Man United to a goalless draw. For one moment, one tiny, infintesimable fraction of I second I almost stopped loathing football. Partly because the Luton players were quite so pretty; all young and overjoyed looking.

Isn't it an annual requirement for one football game to feature the "minnows become giant killers" story? The giants then blunder off and continue winning everything in the normal fashion, while the minnows simply lose their next game and go back to doing whatever they did before - being plumbers or car wash attendants or something.

And for those that are interested here is the next round draw, which is of far more importance than a dull resurrection of has-beens and never quite weres for voyeuristic masterbation.

The same thing happened to me when I saw the Liverpool game! I mean, I always enjoy when Liverpool games are on TV, but that's nothing to do with the football and everything to do with Steven Gerrard's thighs. This time, though, the football itself was almost squeal-inducingly thrilling. Afterwards I felt ashamed.

Ringo was in the bathroom shaving and heard me squealing after both Luton goals. He came back with a very bemused expression to find me huddled under the duvet staring intently at the last five minutes of the first half. Then he made me switch it off*
*not really true, we were going out to dinner but I could easily have watched the second half.

I had to watch supid Ghostbusters at someone's stupid birthday party, and thus had to rely on a mate texting me updates. And then get up at 5 am, or whenever it is on Sunday that they insist on showing Match of the Day, in order to witness this goalfest. Have you heard about the punter who had £200 at 125-1 on Alonso scoring a goal from his own half, after seeing him try something similar last season?
My parents are very happy Leicester City fans this morning, something that doesn't happen very often.

In the grand scheme of shit things to talk about football actually beats Celebrity Big Brother.
I'm not arsed about the zombies. The zombie chate is quite cute. I think I might adopt a zombie one day. I imagine they'd make an interesting conversation point at dinner...

Not on my threads!
On the subject of Reality TV, I also caught a few minutes of Shipwrecked yesterday. The idea is that two teams (or tribes) are left on two separate desert islands. Each week a new person arrives and is given a choice of which island to live on. At the end of the series, the island with the most inhabitants wins. So there's a reason for the contestants to make their island a better place to live. There's almost a purpose to it.
Personally I think someone (EndEmAll?) should create a crossover of Shipwrecked and Scrapheap challenge. The same two islands are filled with scrap metal, old tractors, washing machines, etc. Contestants on both teams have to build a weapon with the limited resources available. They then use said weapon to try and obliterate the inhabitants of the opposing island.

I think Snorton watched all these - he thought they said illegal alien and signed up.

Mrs Dang reckoned this was very good, but I didn't see it myself.
The one I do fancy seeing is Life On Mars about the nowadays copper who goes back to the 70s, or something. The reviews are saying it's very good, but it starts tonight and I'm back in France now. Fortunately the BBC Freeview channels mean that pretty much everything is repeated pretty much all the time, so I expect to see it sometime at the weekend.

I want to like it, but it's looking like a really drawn out version of the bodysnatchers. "Lost", got very old very quick. Maybe I'm just getting impatient?

That's sick, shocking and therefore funny in a very black (Mask) way. The Aliens joke didn't even really make sense. Basically, you're just digging up better moments now in an attempt to detract from the utterly dire post above, aren't you?
