Big Brother: Is Alex the worst ever housemate??

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Well I have not managed to watch every episode of Big Brother so far with the Euros happening aswell as also watching the Apprentice but I watched the first episode and most of the shows including all of today.

I think today had one of the best tasks. It was very funny! All the housemates wore special shiny catsuits with electric shock pads in them (they were those muscle stimulate things). Rachel and Dennis (along with Rex helping) had to move a metal ring along a massive long track without touching – I am sure you have played similar things in fairgrounds etc.

I know it shouldnt be funny but watching them scream and jump up was! In the end they didnt pass – it was so close but they ran out of time (after “failing” about 15 times). As usual there were more arguments – all involving the horrible Alex. She really is a horrible person who is rude and extremely agressive. (Maybe even worse than Charley????!??) She is actually making watching Big Brother uncomfortable. Some ppl seem to just sit back but some are standing up to her. Well done Rex!! Sylvia may be OK but she is hanging around Alex too much and getting horrible herself! Mo stood up to her … abit!!

My favourites so far are Rachel (shes lovely), Rex (for standing up to Alex), Kat (sweet and nice). A few other ppl seem OK (Jennifer, Mohamed,Steph) but some people are rude/bitchy.

Housemates in order of preference:

Rachel
Kat
Rex
Steph
Jennifer
Darnell
Mohammed
Luke
Dennis
Rebecca
Dale
Michael
Lisa
Mario
Sylvia
Alex (my world she is a horrible person!!)

Apprentice: You’re hired!

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Sir AlanWell its all over and Sir Alan has chosen his apprentice. Lee has “won”. If it was to be one candidate it would have been him or Claire (think would have been a better apprentice – at least she can present and doesnt lie on a CV). I am so glad Helene didnt win as she was hopeless, moody and bitchy.

In this last episode she was useless again not even able to think of a name for some perfume after several hours. She really does think she is a lot better than herself – continually playing the “I work in a big American company” card. Also in the final task Kevin AKA Matt Lucas showed ago that he was rubbish coming up with some stupid stress ball idea and also claiming the Dual bottle idea was his – in fact it was the designers idea!!

The final task was designing a new fragrance including name, bottle design and actual smell. Alex “I am only 24″ and Helene came up with Dual which people thought was a good idea but it would have cost so much to make and no other money left to actually advertise it!! (Also it smelt of chocolate apparently – turns out that Helene wears the fragrance called Angel which smelt similar to Dual – sales not drop drastically so people dont want to smell like Helene!). The Lee & Claire team came up with something called Routlette which didnt go down too well because of the links with gambling etc. Also the smell was not distinct enough.

I liked how one team had Michael, one team with Kevin AKA Matt Lucas – balanced it out I guess with both teams having the worst 2 candidates. Also funn when at end Jenny said Lee was a great guy – he opened up doors for ppl – WOW!!! He must be a great guy!! LOL

Canadian Grand Prix

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Lewis and KimiIt was the Canadian Grand Prix at the weekend and it was a debut win for Kubica. Hes turning into a really good driver!! As usual the Canadian GP (my favourite track) had loads of incident. What it will be remembered for is Lewis Hamilton messing up. (Another thing will be a great drive by David Coulthard finishing 3rd).

Hamilton had a good chance to win but basically messed up. He was in the pits and both Raikonnen and Kubica over-took him while in the pits. However after getting re-fueled etc he ended up crashing into the back of Raikonnen’s car. Both him and Kubica had stopped at the end of the pit lane at the red line and Lewis didnt see it and took himself and Kimi out of the race.

Kimi wasnt happy (of course) and when he got out of car pointed at Lewis – as if to see thats your fault etc etc.

Now in the next race Lewis will be given a 10 place penalty so no matter where he qualifies he will be “pushed” back 10 places. Lewis has said its abit harsh.

I dont know about you but Lewis seems to be getting rather arrogant e.g. after qualifying pole he jumped out of the car and then started brushing his shoulders. I think its Lewis’ fault and should take the penalty like a man.

(Looks like I am not the only one disliking Hamilton – http://www.lewishamiltonsucks.com)

King Eric to be next United manager …?

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Eric Cantona has pretty much said he would like to be Manchester United manager one day!! Whenever he talks about United (since leaving us) he always talks with such affection for the club, manager, fans, players etc. He is a legend!!

It would be great to have Eric back at United – great news!! :) (Makes up in some way for “losing” Ramsey to United. It seemed like we had signed him from Cardiff and it was even announced in the manutd.com site. Only seen him play abit but if 3 top teams wanted him he must be good!! (Although looking on the bright side we already have an excellent “Scholes replacement” midfield in Anderson). Makes it worst that hes gone to Arsenal!! It seems the personal touch with Wenger actually going to meet him made the difference, even with his Cardiff manager (and some others) saying he would be great at United. Bet Fergie regrets going on holiday now!! (I read before the Wenger is at Euro 2008 looking at players to buy – I hope Fergie is there and checking out some players. Podolski looked good, David Villa looks excellent (please dont go to Liverpool!!), Sneijder looked excellent also for Netherlands.

Big Brother 9

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Big Brother started last Thursday and as usual I watched the first one just to see whos in the house. The last year or so I have not really watched it and actually only watched part of the 1st episode and thought they all seemed like idiots going in.

In general I really dont like reality TV because I hate how un-talented people with no obvious intelligence somehow become rich and famous e.g. Jade Goody, Kerry Katona,… etc.

This year though there seem to be a few people I like. Of course some people are arrogant fools!!

Since Euro 2008 I have not really seen much since – just the odd bit here and there and when they talk about it on the Chris Moyles show – but from what I have seen I like Rachel – she seems really nice. Kat (the thai woman) seems a good laugh. Also there is some rather attractive women in such as Jennifer, Steph and also Rachel. However its early days!! The people I dont like are Alexandra who seems rather unpleasant, Dale in his video was very arrogant. Also in the house Rebecca who so hyper and loud and “scream-my” I thought she was going to have a heart attack!

This year also seem to have to have good lookalikes!! Mario looks like a cross-between Joey from Friends and Rambo!! Jennifer looks a lot like Cheryl Cole. Kat looks like a young Nancy Lam
