I was just going to post about there being outrage at having to vote 4 of 'em back in! Some people have spent a lot of money voting to get their most detested housemates out and now they want more money off folks to get them back in! I know that these calls to get them back in are for charity but I still think it's unfair~
PETE TO WIN!!!!!!
How nice was his letter from home??? Awwwwww......

The claws are out following the reintroduction of four former housemates into the show.
No sooner had Grace, Lea, Nikki and Mikey settled into the house next door than tongues started wagging.
Nikki said: "I hate Aisleyne, I feel physically sick when I look at her."
Grace agreed, adding: "I can't stand her."
Meanwhile, in the main house, Aisleyne launched into a rant to Richard about Grace, prompting Glyn to rise to her defence.
He said: "You lot are obsessed with Grace. You're upsetting me by talking about it all the time. I liked her
"It's like me saying I don't like Susie. That I think she was the most boring woman ever. How do you feel now I've said that?"
"Fine," replied Aisleyne. "But she never disrespected another human being like Grace did."
Glyn said: "People probably respect Grace for throwing water on Susie, that's why she's back in.
"Why was Susie here? Grace would have entertained the public more than her. Why was she brought in? To have tea every night and go to bed at 10 o'clock?"
Aisleyne said: "Susie never said anything against you. Grace just thinks she's better than people, don't put her on a pedestal.''
Earlier, the housemates watched in amazement on a television monitor as the four former housemates crowded into the Diary Room before being let into the house next door.
Grace, Lea, Nikki and Mikey have all been given a second chance to win the show's £100,000 prize, after being voted back by popular demand.
They were picked by the public out of 10 evictees to move into the house next door.
The housemates will choose one of the four to join them in the main house.
Meanwhile, Imogen and Richard face the boot after being nominated by their housemates.
[glow=red,2,300]Yes I'm glad he got the letter in the end. There is a poll on aol Lyn asking if you think this years big bro is boring . 57% say yes 43% say no. [/glow]

CHANNEL 4 faces a MULTI-MILLION pound bill after watchdogs said angry Big Brother fans could be refunded phone-vote cash.
The premium-rate phone regulator ICSTIS is studying 2,700 complaints over BB plans to allow evicted housemates back on the show.
Furious fans are demanding their money back after voting people out — and Channel 4 could be forced to pay back £3MILLION.
ICSTIS confirmed last night it was considering demanding refunds for ALL voters who feel cheated.
A spokesman said: “We’re taking these complaints seriously. We’re looking at each one and we are in discussions with the service providers about resolving the complaints quickly. One way of doing that is to speak to the service providers about refunds to complainants.”
To claim a refund, disgruntled callers would simply need to show a phone bill to prove they had voted, added ICSTIS.
The watchdog would order service providers iTouch and Minick, which handle the phone lines and text votes, to issue the refunds.
Those firms would then seek a reimbursement from Channel 4 and programme-makers Endemol.
The refund claims could affect EVERY vote cast for the ten evictions — estimated at 6million. With each vote costing 50p, Channel 4 could face refunds of up to £3million — most of the £5million they would make from phone lines.
The move would hit charities Shelter and Teenage Cancer Trust, who get 10p from every normal vote. Channel 4 and Endemol pocket around 26p from each normal eviction call — with the rest going on costs and VAT.
The Sun told yesterday how fans reacted with fury to the latest twist, which could see BB favourite Nikki return.
Some 2,000 people have contacted Ofcom to complain, while a further 520 rang Channel 4 and 160 contacted ICSTIS. Last Friday, viewers were asked to vote to put four former housemates into a secret house. Profits from this vote, about 36p per call, go to charity.
This Friday, the current BB housemates will pick one of the quartet to join them in the main house. A spokesman for Channel 4 said: “We will co-operate with any ICSTIS investigation — but viewers know to expect the unexpected.”
Jade Goody who shot to fame in BB four years ago, said: “All those poor people who have called in to get housemates booted out must be thinking, ‘My phone bill’. I’m not surprised there have been some complaints.”
You are right Lyn. |

And another thing! Davina said ALL the money for voting which 4 ex-housemates should return to the house next-door would go to charity, whereas in reality only 36p of every 50p call went to charity! So CH4 and Endemol still got 14p of every call made.   I'm still enjoying the show, but I don't agree with allowing one of the evicted housemates back in the main house and being eligable to win. |

So now it's just 6 left in there. Grace is still the biggest b*%#h on the planet and I admired Aisleyne for questioning her about throwing the water over Susie - crowd still hate her, and like Aisleyne & Pete said who the hell would shake her hand for the water throwing incident? my predictions for the order they will leave on Friday 1st to leave = Jennie 2nd = Aisleyne 3rd = Richard 4th = Nikki 5th = Glyn 6th = Pete Though it could be a close thing!  |

Well my predictions were out, but Pete still won and Glyn was second! Woo Hoo! Nikki looked as mad as Lady Macbeth on Friday - what was up with her hair? She looked like she'd dragged herself through a hedge backwards!   ;D |

No mate, sorry ~ I'm not THAT desperate! Seriously can't stand these so called "celebrities". I would watch a Love Island if it had "normal" people in it - but these celeb's have more money than sense! At least when they have a Celebrity Big Brother the money goes to charity at the end. On Love Island the "celebrity" keeps the money for themselves BOO!!! |

Channel 4 director of programmes Kevin Lygo has defended the changes to the formula of Big Brother 7, stressing the need to keep the show fresh.
At the Edinburgh International Television Festival he admitted that not all series of the show could be expected to be up to the same high standard, but maintained that "this was a particularly good Big Brother."
"When it's going well…it has lots of viewers, young viewers, everybody talks about it and it's all over the papers," he continued. "It's a fascinating thing. It is an established summer event, a bit like Wimbledon, and like Wimbledon some years are a bit sh*t and you can’t remember who won and some years it's brilliant."
Despite wide criticism of the producers' decision to meddle with the format and allow evicted housemates to re-enter the competition, Lygo explained that the show must evolve to keep it fresh and unpredictable. "If we did the same thing every year…it would be boring and no-one would watch it…it adapts and changes and morphs into a different kind of beast every time."
Asked whether there is a finite shelf-life for the premise of the show, he said: "I think that part of my job is to, like an Olympic flame, I have to preserve it and hand it on…[and] there's no reason it can't keep running every summer for ever."
Finally, he also acknowledged that the series had a longer run than usual, spanning thirteen weeks rather than the nine weeks of the first four series. "It was the longest Big Brother," he observed, "[and] I think this is as long as we're ever going to do it."

Much as I loved BB this year - I don't think I would want it to run longer than 13 weeks.  |
