    BB missed a trick with the 20,000 task the other night.

    Hey should have first listed out exactly who pushed the button, let that sink in for a few moments before announcing who got there first.

    Hughie did say a couple of times that he hit the button but nobody took any notice, he seems to have slipped under the radar on that one.

    Thought he was very funny trying to argue through the glass/patio with Alex cos Alex took the 5,000! When hughie wants an argument nothing will stop him!!

    I know nobody goes into this these days to make friends off life etc it's all about the game but jaysus after all the trantrums over lateysha the other night she wasn't even mentioned last night! The fickleness showed through when Jason taking 20,000 was forgotten about over the lads taking 5,000 each!

    Really enjoyed the last two nights, these twists with the money work better nearer the end of the show when they can almost smell the final and the money.

    Jackson had gone a little up in my estimation over the last while but he was back on silly overacting form last night. Back down yo the bottom of the pile.

    Laura actually talking sense in the diary was good as well, and then she asked for a fish bowl! Very funny.
    Why was hughie shouting abuse through the window at alex and none to his bed partner ryan. ????

    By taking the 5K he has reduced the prize fund.

    A few of the housemates try to pretend that they're highly principled
    and of superior moral character.

    Hughie doesn't have any right to take the moral high ground but I think his point was neither does Alex

    They are all playing a game some are just playing it differently.

    The 20K and nominating someone for eviction was a one off action which would cause trouble at the time but then could move on from.

    I think most of them chose the poor side as they knew there would be other consequences and it was going to carry on for a bit of time.

    Only an idiot or someone who has never seen BB would think they were getting a staight forward offer of money and luxury
    Hughie did press the button to try and get the 20 thousand. Why has everyone forgotten that already.

    Because the day before Alex said he wouldn't take money out of the winners pocket, so Hughie called him on his BS (i know hughie is full of it as well but he was right :pac:)

    Did anyone notice that Jackson seemed to have no problem taking the money off Ryan, didn't bat an eyelid "sorry bro" and moved on.. Ryan took it well in fairness.. I find that hard to relate to his hysterics over the money later.

    Emma enters house announces bottom 3, HMs decide which one is evicted!
    Just on BBOTs

    It would be great if this stuff could be in spoilers please.

    Re Ryan's slightly schizo behaviour - I think that they take their cues on how to react to things from each other. Very few independent thinkers in that house.

    I think Jason and Andy can think for themselves, and to a lesser extent Evelyn and Jayne. But that's about it. Hughie responds without thinking - his responses have a weird internal logic to them but he cannot think critically, and he certainly cannot think critically about his own behaviour.

    Has it not moved beyond the realms of being a spoiler once its been announced on any of the various BB shows? (I genuinely don't know the board rules on this but would assume its so).

    Hi Mystery Egg

    I think this has been clarified before but probably last year.. If something has been aired on tv as in BB hilights show or BBbots then it is deemed not to be a spoiler.. Other info outside these modes e.g. Twitter, forums etc. are deemed to be spoilers. Hope I got this correct.

    That's my understanding too. Rylan said it on BBBOTs. I don't believe what's said on BBBOTs needs spoilers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    Totally agree with you re: Marco.. He is everything I abhor in a human being but he was great telly.

    He had everything that made bb (in the twitter famous years) to be tv gold.

    The scene with him singing and Andy in shock is still the best scene of the series so far IMO

    I wish irish marc, farrah and jenna jameson could be back again for cbb along with marco:(

    It's actually the editing. I've found watching these clips on the BB youtube channel give more insight from less editing. Jackson did slightly squirm but told Ryan he'd "tell you something when I get out" (1:56) - I bet that will be forgotten about once he meets up with Georgina.

    I really wanted Hughie, or anybody, to ask Alex what his cut-off point was ........ is it ok to take 6k? 7k?? 8k??? But not 9k maybe? Is 9k the cut-off point??
    I would have enjoyed watching him squirm to come up with an "acceptable" amount of money to take and explain how/why he came to that conclusion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,259 ✭✭✭donkeykong5


    Ok so alex took 5000.00. He didn't have his grubby little hand on the buzzer like hughie to get 20.000.00. Are housemates too frightened to question hughie over this. Jason got a complete court case when he reached the buzzer first. And alex and jackson also got a massive cross examination. But camera loving hughie..........absolutely nothing. Doesn't add up to me as a viewer.

    You're missing the point, it's not that Alex took x amount of money, it's the fact that he said he would never take any money from the Prize Fund.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,259 ✭✭✭donkeykong5


    Alex said he would not take 20 thousand ( which hughie tried to ). Play it back and you can hear him saying 20 thousand. The only point I feel I am missing is why hughie was not cross examined the way jason. Jackson. And alex were. Nothing much said about ryan taking the money either. Hopefully it's tv editing. Otherwise is grossly unfair.

    I'm with you Madser. All the other forums are at this too I thought it was perfectly clear.. He told Jackson and Ryan he didn't have a problem with them taking the money.. Alex said the night before, which was shown in fairness, that he would not take any money from the prize fund.. Hughie calmly (for him) brought him up on this.. Hubert has left the building.. No more trouble risers or liary arse bitc*hs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    I said earlier I think some of them go easy on hughie either because he might explode or because they heard the crowd cheering for him when he was up for eviction

    But he was right in that argument


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,453 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I feel sorry for the person who has to compile Alex's best bits video :pac:

    Alex said "I wouldn't take the 20 thousand, I wouldn't take any of the Winner's Prize money ........" ........... Hughie called him out on his bullsh1t.

    During the argument Alex claimed that he previously said he wouldn't take the 20k. That was immediately shown in a convenient replay to be utter BS. He actually said he wouldn't take any money from the pot. He's a hypocrite, Hughie was correct to call him on that

    i don't think so, not everyone watches bots. plus isn't that where most spoilers come from, well the ones you know are true.

    if it hasn't been shown on the main show yet it's a spoiler imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,219 ✭✭✭tipptom


    I believe the HMs should have absolute minimum contact with the outside world.
    Can anyone tell me what is the point of Emma physically going in to the house tonight?

    We went over this last year, and a mod posted that once it has been shown on TV then it's not a spoiler, that includes bots

    It was agreed with the Mods last year that anything on the main show or BOTS doesn't need a spoiler. That's held true for subsequent series of CBB. So should apply to this years BB.

    including bots is stupid, not everybody watches it. it's the definition of a spoiler,
    a description of an important plot development in a television show, film, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader.
