You need a videio loop of some fine young thang in a mini skirt running away----that'll keep the exercise bike revs going.

Night, mate.

Sounds like something I might invest a lot of time researching
Would certainly beat pornos which keep causing frequent pit stops
due to chafing ;-)

The first one was a great social experiment.The show has now become an extended audition for fame wannabes.Alex though was quite the most vicious housemate they have had.She made Charley look like a sunday school teacher.Charley was all about her and her own inflated opinion of self whereas Alex just seemed plain nasty.
Also I think it is a real shame that the BB chiefs have once again allowed someone displayingall the bad signs of racial stereotyping into the house.With all the stuff going on with knife/gun crime going on in teens in this country do we really need some deluded black girl reinforcing the worst type of stereotypes on prime time TV.The BNP will love this.Not for the first time BB should consider this series to be the last.

There should be a simple selection process.

If you want to be in the Big Brother house, then you are unsuitable.

It does seem that some of the choices for people this time have been done in order to create friction in the house. That Alex girl, who is really vile, made me stop watching for a few days, then I would just 'mute' the scenes when she appeared. None of her attacks were justified, she just had a chip on her shoulder the size of a railway sleeper. Someone said just now that it is not showing certain people in a good light when you consider the bad press over gun and knife crime in urban areas at the moment - the worst thing they could have done was to put an argumentative obnoxious black girl on the show.

This reminded me of something: I used to work with a second-generation West Indian guy who always hated it when black people did things that were negative because he said it cast his entire community in a bad light, I'm not sure I agreed that individual incidents did, but he was of the view that it did. He told me once that he saw another black man touching up women on a train and he pulled this guy off at the next stop and held him while the station assistant radio'd for the police. He said that he said to the guy 'what are you doing, you are giving black people a bad name!'

I remember someone else we worked with, who had been mugged about 15 times on this rough estate he lived on in south London. Every time this guy has been mugged the guy had been black. My colleague apoligised to him, which I thought was completely unnecessary because anyone would know that it is only a small minority in any community that commits crime, but this guy felt the need to say sorry to the other guy.

So there you are, some people feel that individuals within their community cast the entire community in a bad light - I don't agree - but I am sure there will be some black people in the UK who will think this Alex girl has not really done a very good PR job for the black community these last 2 weeks. I may have a look at The Voice newspaper (Britain's biggest black newspaper) to see what it has to say about this Alex person, how she behaved, and any possible fall-out from the situation.

Alex was a bully, though the sad thing is i wonder if she knew how others felt when she attacked them.

They should put stephanie back in and giver her another chance
plus she was fucking gorgeous mmmm.

its still early days in the house

how weird is the relationship with dale n jennifer discussing how much they like each other yet little to no physical contact or long looks etc bizarre

bye for now
Ot-ers

Imagine having that Alex as real housemate?.Read a bit about her.Pleasant little girl !whistle!,using her Sarf Landan roots and knowledge of 'gansta's to give herself a bit of power inside the house,totally forgetting that millions of women are watching her making a complete idiot of herself.

But coming from Croydon,i'm not at all surprised.

You can take the girl out of Croydon,but cannot take Croydon out of the girl !happy!
