Getting to Know You....
With Jo hearing noises from 'behind the mirrors' the talk today turned to that of the 'House Next Door' - see, even the Housemates are expecting it! Some of the housemates told Jo that actually that's just where the cameras are so there will be noises, but she was adamant that there is another room with more housemates in.
I've been watching the live stream for most of this afternoon, and there were some interesting bits and some boring bits, but a strange little bit was when Shilpa and some of the other's were talking about the pronounciation of Face's name. Shilpa being unable to naturally pronounce "Dirk" properly, which led to much merriment amongst the others.
Face and Jermaine spent much of this afternoon cooking the dinner, and were locked in conversation, until along comes Gerrard with his stupid inane chatter, and you could see that Jermaine was not happy about him being there, so a possibility for some confrontation ther. I do think that Gerrard will cause problems with his inability to stop talking, even when someone else is trying to say something, and if any confrontation does happen this will be his downfall, just like Science a couple of years ago.
On to the subject of it being called 'Celebrity' Big Brother, out of all the housemates, they are basically just has-beens and wannabes, with the exception of Shilpa who is a current celebrity, albeit not well known by mainstream Britain. So opens the debate of whether you are - or have been - in the public eye immediately means you gain 'Celebrity' status. I think not, and made my feelings clear on the inclusion of Faria Alam last year, which to my mind means that at least three (but maybe four) of the Housemates shouldn't be there. I'll let you try and figure out who I mean, but I'm allowing former pop stars and worldwide TV stars have their moment of glory!
