Ultimate Big Brother - My Final Ever Big Brother Blog

It's been a week since Big Brother ended. I was going to do this blog straight after the final, but I was too tired, so I've left it till now.


Big Brother was a big part of my life. I watched 10 out of 11 Series and every episode of those 10 series. Some would call me sad, but I call it dedication. I enjoyed the show. It was hilarious, it taught me life lessons, it was something to talk to other people about, it was something to have an opinion on, it was amazing.


I always wanted to take part in the show. I thought it would be an amazing experience and yes I admit, I could be famous afterwards and that excited me. At least once in your life, you wish you were famous. Obviously you had to be 18 to apply. Sadly it ended before I reached that age. One more year and I could have since auditions take place around the time of my birthday. I talked about applying to my friends and family and most of which said they would support if me if I ever got the chance to do it, which would of been amazing, knowing that I have people supporting me on the outside.


I guess you could call me a Big Brother freak since I remember the majority of housemates and which series they were from. It comes in handy when BB comes up in conversation and I appear intelligent (or just pathetic to some). They can have their opinion. If I went on to that show I would want someone to remember me.


I'm going to start talking about my favourite things now:


Favourite Series: 1st place is Series 7.

There is so much to talk about from this series. First of all how could we not talk about Nikki Grahame. She made that series. Her tantrums were genuinely hilarious and when ever she went into the the Diary Room, it was guaranteed to make us laugh at some point. Her love interest with series winner Pete Bennett was too cute. They were kind of perfect for each other, until they broke up but nevermind. Good things don't last for ever as you can tell with BB. But let's not forget the other housemates of series 7. There was Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. She wasn't an original housemate and I tend not to like them, but this girl, I loved. In week 6 she was voted to move into the secret house next door while the other housemates thought she had been evicted. In the secret house she was joined by 5 new housemates. If I remember correctly she had to choose who went into the house one by one and was eventually left with two. She evicted Jonathan who holds the record for the first housemate who never actually entered the house! Watching Aisleyne make this hard decision and the aftermath was awful. It was so heart-breaking for her. At least she knew her self though. Welsh lad Glyn Wise who came second was great too. However he is only remembered for entering the house dressed as a lifeguard and -sings the song- boiling an egg for the very first time ahmm ahmm.
Actually you know what? Just watch this video. Pretty much sums it up.

See what I mean?


2nd place is series 5!



3rd place is series 8!



That was actually hard choosing the last one. Feel free to watch more Best Bits here.


I think my favourite housemate is Brian Belo. I was gutted he didn't take part in Ultimate Big Brother. He would have done well. I think it's because I can relate to him because he's such a massive fan of BB, even after he went into the house. (Although I haven't taped every single episode like he has, as shown on Come Dine With Me!) He's so funny and silly and the kind of guy that I would want as a friend and the kind of person who I would want to be in there with, as long as they didn't win! That would be my job. 


I think my favourite task would be from Series 6. The Box task. It was so simple yet so brilliant. All the housemates had to do was sit in a box with their picture on for the longest time. It was hilarious!! Also notable is the Electric shock task from Series 9! 


My favourite presenter of course has to be Davina. I think the fact she loved the show so much made her the best person for the job. I loved how involved she was and even when their was controversy she didn't distance her self from it. She bared with it even during pregnancy and she is a true legend.  


Big Brother has had it's highs and it's lows, but there's no doubting it's been on hell of a ride and I've enjoyed every minute of it. RIP Big Brother. Maybe you'll be resurrected by Channel Five if they have any sense. 

Ultimate Big Brother - Big Brother's Last Ever Show Ever - Part 4

Ohmydays. It's so sad. This is it. The Final Hour of Big Brother. It starts of with Davina arriving in a car like the housemates used to do to enter the show. The crowd is silent and she makes a speech. Then it irrupts into a party!!!


Last Titles Roll!!




3rd place is...

CHANTELLE! The final 3 are my the favourites to win so I'm happy either way now. Anyway Chantelle Houghton! I rolled my eyes when she entered but she's just amazing. So sweet and lovely and really funny and genuine and a wonderful housemate. She won the celebrity series and she wasn't even a celebrity and now she's came 3rd from 267 housemates! BRILLIANT. Well done Chantelle. Well deserved. I hope she gets everything sorted with Preston! Whatever happens I hope she's happy at the end of it. That's all that matters. 


So here we go! Brian and Nikki. 2 of the best housemates of all time. They have rightfully got their place in the final! 


In an amazing 2nd place is...


'This is Davina, please do not swear'

NIKKI!! She's just amazing! I loved her originally and I loved her more this time round. I love how she feels about Big Brother and what it's done for her and how it's changed her life for the better and it's just so genuine and real. She's hilariously funny, great entertainment and definitely the 2nd best housemate of all time really. Well done Nikki! I feel so happy.


So this means that our Ultimate Housemate of all time is...

BRIAN DOWLING!!!! I'm so happy right now. It's mixed emotions really, but right now I'm happy. Brian is our Ultimate Housemate! So deserving.  He's funny, entertaining... just amazing really. I'm so glad he won. I'm running out of words now and I'm just repeating my self! Well done Brain, our Ultimate Big Brother Housemate who go 49.7% of the vote. We love you! Fact: Brian has never faced eviction ever and won twice!!


Seeing Brain leave the house was terribly emotional. It's the last time someone will leave that house. It's the last time for loads of things. 


Oh god. I had to stop writing because I needed to watch the last 15 minutes without distraction. I cried. More on this later, in one last Big Brother Blog. :(

Ultimate Big Brother - Major Update

Since I've been on holiday, the blog has been missing it's Big Brother updates (with the exceptions of Melissa's wonderful eviction blog) so this is a update on all things Big Brother before tonight's finale!

So these are the people who are still currently in the house and have a place in tonight's final!


Let's go back where I left off.


1st September: Housemates were given a Retrospective shopping task. Preston was given a task he had already done when he was originally on the show. To eat a full box of chocolate liquer's. Last he was sick, this time his objective was not to be sick. He passed!. Makosi was given 'Miss Unpopular'. When she entered BB6, she was unlucky 13 and had to get the most nominations in order to stay. This time she had make her self very unpopular by being rude and insulting people. The other housemates were told that was not her task. The housemates had to ignore everything she does to make herself unpopular and do the opposite and make her feel popular. She passed! Ahmed from BB5 returned briefly and began smashing plates in the kitchen and garden like he previously did because the morning alarms! This wasn't a task. Nike and Ulrika had to perform 'Endless Love' like Ulrika did with Verne Troyer in her Celebrity Series. They had to gain a certain amount of video views on the Big Brother website. They failed!


2nd September: Chantelle, Nadia and Victor had to reform Chantelle's fake bad Kandy Floss (with a K). When Chantelle went in the Celebrity series, she wasn't a celebrity but had to make the other celebes think she was. She claimed to be in a band called Kandy Floss. They failed! Meanwhile Makosi got a picnic in the garden... with Anthony Hutton! I'm sure you know what happened between those two! For Brian's task when ever he heard his quote "Now dance with me Bubble!" from his series, he had to run outside to the podium and wait for his partner to dance with. His partners were Marco Sabba from BB5, Glyn Wise from BB7 and twins Samanda from BB8! 


3rd September: For Nikki's task, she had to become Big Brother's PA again. Her boss was ex-boyfriend and BB7 winner Pete Bennett. Michelle's task was to sing 'Pie Jesu' has she had previously done in her series for the Wedding task which also took place again with Victor being the groom! Before that, Makosi and Nadia were evicted as Melissa previously reported. Back to the wedding. As Michelle and her choir preformed outside the house, the bride entered. Our new housemate Vanessa Feltz!! I did not expect that at all! 


4th September: Rex Newmark from BB8 re-entered the house as part of a task. Dressed as the devil, he gave housemate an individual task which was evil and they had to be silent while doing it. Jon Tickle from BB4 also entered briefly. 


5th September: Shock Nominations! Nominations with a twist! A very hilarious twist. Once in the diary room, housemates had to spin the wheel and whatever it landed on that's how they had to nominate. The choices included gargling, miming, raping and drawing. In the end Michelle, Nick and Vanessa were nominated. Later, the housemates were given and TV show task. They created the Feltz Show. 


6th September: Victor was given a task from the Tree of Tempation to get the other housemates to bitch about each other and record them. he failed epically and therefore had to face the wraith of the tree! Which meant wearing a tree costume and a task which meant eating disgusting foods from around the world and guessing where they came from.


7th September: Britain's Got Talent runner-up Flawless entered the house as part of a task. The had to learn a dance to the Big Brother theme tune. They passed the task.


8th September: Davina McCall entered the house. She gave each of the housemates a letter from home and it was all very emotional as she said her last goodbye to the house. Later on though Michelle and Vanessa were evicted and the final 7 were revealed. 


9th September: Today was a very, very sad day. Marcus Bentley the narrator if the series entered the house for the funeral of Big Brother. You can see that on tonight's show. 


So don't forget to watch the final tonight which begin at 7:30!! And then check back here later for my final Big Brother Blog. 

Ultimate Big Brother - 2nd Eviction

Since Sam has buggered off to Portugal! I am on Big Brother duty aswell,

And tonights episode, oh my! Did you hear Makosi & Anthonys conversation as they cleared it up 'They didn't have sex'... is it me, or was that really awkward to watch?

And Brian was dancing... Did you see Glyn from BB7? I LOVED Glyn!! He was so funny and did you see Nikki's face when she saw him? Bless her!

Oh Also! Nikki: Do you think Nadia is on her Period? Brian: Maybe, but probably not. - HAHAHA, oh my.

Oh... and it's been announced Vanessa Feltz will re-enter the Big Brother House. Why? I have nooo idea? Well obviously it's for the money.. But why? She was annoying on Celebrity Big Brother 1 and will continue to be just - if not more annoying than before. Oh Joy.

Eviction

Makosi is the first to leave tonight! I wasn't really a fan of her in big brother 6 and i wasn't really a fan of her in this big brother either? I didn't really care that she went in... And i don't really care that she left? Oh well. Bye bye Makosi!

Nadia is the second to leave tonight. I loved Nadia in big brother 5 and i still love her now, i think she's fabulous. Remember that song she released? It was really catcy! Aww Bye Nadia you will be missed!

Well till next Ultimate Big Brother update.
BRIAN TO WIN!

Ultimate Big Brother - Nominations Announced

Here's an update of the going-on's in the Big Brother house!

Yesterday the Bedsit duo Michelle and Victor entered the house! Watch the other housemate's reaction here.

Next Nominations were made today, or should I say nostalgic nominations! They have to complete old school Big Brother tasks from previous series before they nominate. Michelle and Victor are immune. 


The nostalgic tasks the housemates will be taking part in are:


Makosi - Must cry wearing special tear collecting goggles.
Chantelle -Will receive electric shocks in a shiny zentai suit.
Nadia - Will have to spell out 'for my first nomination.'
Brian - Must eat super spicy chillies.
Nikki - WIll have to brush her teeth with sticky tofu.
Preston - Will drink brain-freeze including ice shots.
Ulrika - Will have a cake dropped on her head.
Nick - The naughty clown from the Ignore The Obvious will pop icky balloons on him during is nominations.


Next, the housemates up for eviction are:

There's two shockers here in my opinion. Chantelle and Nikki. I expected the other 4, but everyone likes Chantelle and Nikki, is well, Nikki! She's lovely! 

So announcement time! Not one but two of these housemates will leave on Friday! From this selection of housemates I want to see Nick and Makosi go. I've been right so far, will I be right again?

In other news, Big Brother 1 winner, Craig Phillips entered the house today for a 'Shed Building' task. Check out the video.

Ultimate Big Brother - 1st Eviction

So as you can see from the image above John McCririck was evicted with 50.6% of the vote! The closest vote in Big Brother History!! I'm glad he went. While I thought Coolio would be the one to go, I'm glad John went. He's just vile. 

The image above also has 2 new faces! Welcome Victor Ebuwa and Michelle Bass from BB5, who have entered the Big Brother Bedsit. Just like in series 5, these two housemates will live away from the main house for a short time. While living in the bedsit they will watch housemates on a screen and listen to them through headphones. 

Last time this happened, it caused so much drama, security had to go into the house to break people apart and one housemate was ejected. I hope the producers don't expect the same thing to happen, because it's really not. 'Fight Night' only happened because of the characters that were in the house at the time. 

So Big Brother just gave the bedsitters their first task. Mr Snuggles the evil clown will enter the house. But who will Mr Snuggles wreak havoc on? They choose Nikki! Mr Snuggles who looks genuinely terrifying and kind of like Rex from BB9 enters the house and the housemates go CRAZY! They seemed actually terrified! Bless them. 

Ultimate Big Brother - The Beginning

When I first heard about Ultimate Big Brother I could not have been more excited. My favourite housemates living together and competing for champion of champions? What is not to love!


The cast of UBB has been kept very secret. You might remember a week or so ago I posted a blog which included a promo poster for UBB. It fueled my excitement that some of those people would be back and I am kind of disappointed. 

So first of all we have Josie, the winner of Big Brother 11!

She left the Big Brother house crowned the winner of the current series, had her interview with Davina and then made her way back into the house! She was literally outside for 20 minutes! Josie deserves to be there so much! She is a legend and rightfully takes her place amongst other Big Brother legends... or so we thought!




Next to enter the house was Chantelle Houghton, the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 4!

Chantelle went into the CBB house as a non celebrity. The twist that year was, send in a normal girl and make her other housemates believe she is a celebrity like them! Brilliant! It worked too since she won! Since leaving the house originally she got married to Preston from the Ordinary Boy's whom she met in the house. They divorced after 9 months. Chantelle also modeled and acted. She was a nice enough girl in CBB4 and still is I presume so not a bad choice but I would have preferred someone else. Definitely not the best Big Brother has to offer. 




Next to enter was Preston from Celebrity Big Brother 4! 

YES! You read correct! As Chantelle went in, next to follow her was only her bloody ex-husband! GENIUS! This is just draaamaaa waiting to happen and kudos on Big Brother for doing that. While I take no joy in a couple's marriage failing, seeing these two in the house together will be enjoyable! Preston is from the band The Ordinary Boys, who did that song and then split up but got back together again after Preston got 'famous' and then split again as soon as we forgot who he was. Another reunion perhaps? Haha.




Next to get back in the house was Nadia Almada who won Big Brother 5!

The girl/former man who showers in stiletto's is back! And it's fantastic to see her. Nadia, who is from Portugal (which is where I'm off to on holiday a week today) used to be a man. Get over it! Every person to their own I say. It doesn't make a difference to me what so ever. I love Nadia for who she is. She is one of my favourite housemates ever! Did you know she released a song? You should listen to it! It's a fantastic song. Go Nadia!




Next to go back was Brain Dowling, the winner of Big Brother 2!

Another one of my favourite housemates ever! Brian is just amazing. He won the first series I ever watched! He's just a funny, nice guy. After winning, Brian went into presenting. He presented SMTV: Live and many other things. He also continued taking part in reality shows, such as Hell's Kitchen! Brian is going to be a great housemate! He's witty and hilarious. What is there not to love!




Next to enter was Ulrika Johnson, winner of Celebrity Big Brother 6!

Ulrika Johnson is one of these people where you either like or her don't. I like her. I have no problem with her. She never really crossed my radar until CBB6. She seemed a decent enough person and I was glad she won. Ulrika can be seen on Shooting Stars which is a weird terrible show :| 




Next in was Makosi Musambasi who came 3rd in Big Brother 6!

Most famous for having "sexual intercourse" with Anthony Hutton in the pool and then asking for a pregnancy test, Makosi was a decent housemate. Full of draaamaaa which is want we love, but so annoying. She hasn't really done anything since leaving the house. (She couldn't even remember what series she was in) I dont expect her to do well in UBB, but good luck to her. And for crying out loud do not let her in the pool. 




Next to come back was John McCririck who took part in Celebrity Big Brother 3!

The less said about this 'thing' the better. As he said when we went in, "JOHN OUT! JOHN OUT!" Vile man.




Moving on, next to enter was Coolio who finished 3rd in Celebrity Big Brother 6!

Has-been. 




Next to enter was Nikki Grahame, who finished 5th in Big Brother 7!

My favourite housemate ever! I was waiting all night for her to arrive. "WHO IS SHE?" Nikki is a serious contender to win this. She's a legend in her own right. Since leaving Big Brother, she went on to have her own show, won a National Television Award and wrote 2 books! I love Nikki. 




Finally the last person to enter was Nick Bateman from Big Brother 1!

Nasty Nick is back. He was on the scene before my time. I started watching from series 2, but Nasty Nick is a big part of Big Brother history and I pretty much know everything. Once the most hated man in Britain for writing names on a piece of paper ( god we were easily shocked back then) Nick is back and I suppose he has a right to be there. I'm glad they have someone from the first series. 


So that's your lot. What do you think? Are you happy with the Ultimate Big Brother housemates? Who would you change? Let us know. 


P.S: Word is 2 more housemates will enter the house after the first eviction on Friday! So make sure you watch!

Big Brother 2010 - Week 8 Eviction

It's Friday! Which means one thing. Eviction night. This week Dave, JJ, Jo and Sam Pepper faced eviction from the Big Brother House.

As you can see Jo got the boot with 39.4% of the vote. I neither liked or disliked Jo. She just seemed to be there. She never did anything exciting. She had no real storyline, yet another waste of a housemate. As much as I loathe Sam Pepper, the right person went tonight. Believe it or not but this was not the most exciting thing that happened on Big Brother tonight.


Once the eviction was out of the way, Davina announced to the housemates that the final was in 11 days, not in 4 weeks like they thought. She continued to tell them that they had 1 minute to decide who got a ticket to the final. After some confused voting (it always is with them) they decided Josie would get the special ticket to the final!

I am so happy she got it. I was expecting them to all vote for Steve because "he deserves it". Like bollocks he does. What has he done for the past 9 weeks except sit around on his arse and tell people what to do? Josie in my opinion is one of the best housemates ever. Not only does she have an amazing accent that I would marry, she is genuinely funny and real. Although I am usually against BB romances, she seems to really like John James. It's a shame the feelings aren't thought back by the Aussie. That's what I think anyway.


Now Josie is definitely in the final, Davina informed the housemates, that the winner of this series will not only receive £100,000 but will be re-entering the house with some of this lot:

We have from left to right: Michelle Bass (BB5), Brian Belo (BB8), Siavash Sabbaghpour (BB10), Craig Phillips (BB1), Alex Sibley (BB3), Dane Bowers (CBB), Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (BB7), Brian Dowling (BB2), Nikki Grahame (BB7), Nadia Almada (BB5), Pete Bennett (BB7), Charley Uchea (BB8), Nick Bateman (BB1), Chantelle Houghton (CBB), John McCririck (CBB). 


I freaked out when I saw this image on digitalspy this morning. They have an amazing line-up with a few exceptions. I want 9 out of the 15 people on there to go into the house with the winner of BB11 which will hopefully be either Josie or Corin. The ones that I have crossed out are the ones I don't want in. I would also like Siavash replaced with Marcus Atkin or BB10 winner Sophie Reade. 


Make sure you turn in for the end of Big Brother 11 and the beginning of Ultimate Big Brother, Channel 4, 24th August 2010, 8pm onwards. 

Big Brother 2010 - 4 hours of Final?

I read today Channel 4 will air nearly 4 HOURS of Big Brother when the current series comes to an end. My heart almost broke last summer when it was announced the show would be ending in the summer of 2010. With my age currently being 17, I was not old enough to audition but I was planing to next year. Obv not now :( Nevermind.

shutting up shop

Back to point. 4 hours? Really? I am the biggest Big Brother fan I know and even I think this is a little much. Let's run through what's going to happen. There's the usual highlight show and then depending on how many people will be left for the final they all have to be evicted and interviewed one by one, which usually takes 2 hours. BUT incase you had not heard, the winner of this series will receive £100,000 and will not leave the house. Yes you read correct. The winner will be kept in the house awaiting his/her brand new housemates. 


Welcome ULTIMATE BIG BROTHER. Past housemates from all 10 series and celebrity series shall be making their way into the house and staying there until they get evicted. In the end after 2 weeks we will have our Ultimate Big Brother Housemate. I, personally could not be more excited. A chance to see Nikki Grahame in the Big Brother house again? Anytime. 


Is 4 hours for the end of the UK's original reality show to long? Or just right?
