What annoys ex-housemates the most of all about Big Brother? People walking out, of course. Brian Belo tells us how he feels about Isaac's rather pathetic exit, how the house is dividing, and who he wants to win the show...
The Curse of Week 8
We have now reached the start of week nine; the housemates have sprinted past the halfway line, and all eyes seem to be on the glorious diamond-encrusted winner's crown – even though we’ve still got more than a month left. Yes, I hear you gasp, a whole entire month! The most popular housemate with the public would have to be Halfwit, although when it comes to it, the lad lives in a stately manor home – he is so wealthy it would be a crime for him to win a £100,000 prize fund.
The next man in the race is put-upon Siavash. At this moment in time, I do not know what to think of Siavash. I think he was just as much to blame as Noirin when it came to betraying Marcus, and I think he got a taste of his own medicine when she dumped him for Isaac. I can see how people like him, because he is mildly endearing, but I do think he is a pot stirrer. Last night he was in the Diary Room telling BB he isn’t nominating anymore, and that the big man should put him up for eviction every week until his eviction. It really annoys me when housemates don’t play by the fundamental rules of Big Bro. Nominating is the main part of living in that house, you’re explained that throughout the audition process. In my auditions I was nominated and evicted from the group straight away. So, for Mr Siavash to try to bend the rules because he is feeling sorry for himself frustrates me. At the end of the day, Big Brother will just end up punishing the whole house for his behaviour and that will have even more of a negative time on his stay in the house.
I’m disappointed that Isaac left the house. That house is in desperate need of a strong Alpha male and, regardless of him being Noirin’s other half, he would have made a great addition to that house. Who could not love the amusing but slightly creepy “Daddy’s back” quote he said to his beautiful missus as he won her heart back.
She trampled over many hearts and used her beauty to manipulate and scheme, but on Friday the public showed her the door and Noirin made like a rabbit and bunny-hopped out of the house. Do you see what I did there after "rabbit-gate" in week five? I’ve said this before, and this year I stand corrected; there is such thing as the curse of week 8. The season's big characters always go in the eighth week; Nikki Grahame, Charley Uchea, Luke Marsden and now Noirin the heart-stealer woman.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the house gets on without her. Already we've had the talent contest, with Charlie as the scary clown, whose laugh scared me as much as Dogface’s rap. I really want her to win. I think she’s a sweet girl, and yes, she is just in there to be a glamour model but at least she’s honest about it.
Bea is turning into quite a fine housemate. I never know quite where she stands on an argument and she can’t keep one bit of information to herself, but she is making great television. I find it interesting that the old housemates have not stuck together against the new blood. In my house, us originals rallied together. In this house, the group is divided with Lisa on one side stealing David, and Halfwit on the other side trying to get Bea. Halfwit’s ears must be burning because everytime he's not in the room, Bea is slating him – she just needs to be honest with him and tell him she needs her space. How could you not love him serenading her last night in front of the whole group – David-Brent-like reality TV gold!
