Celebrity Big Brother 2018

Ah lads, what was that ****e last night?! Am starting to wish I had stuck to my not watching this series promise now. I'm all for independent women and the like but I thought I was literally going to die of boredom watching the launch show. I sincerely hope it picks up! Like, that Maggie one seems nice and the good work she's done is very admirable and all but come on, she's not a celeb. Certainly not the kind of one we can judge while stuffing our faces, as we so like to do!

I agree neonsofa, I can't wait till the men go in and I don't care if that's being a feminist traitor! That's when the claws will come out hopefully!
Hope you are on the mend btw, no fun being sick especially with the kids on Xmas holidays and everything, nightmare!

Also, anyone else think India looks like an older Emma Bunton? Myself and my daughter said it straight away, it's uncanny!

The launch show is always boring so why are people surprised. Things only get interesting once they get in the house and get comfortable with each other.

I really hope they have some right sexist male chauvinistic fvkers lined up for friday, now that would make this whole girl power sh!te worthwhile. Could you imagine John McCrirrick or Jim Davidson in there with that lot! Actual murder. Be gas.

Someone like John McCrirrick but less....icky. He makes my skin crawl.

Should stick Richard Keys and Andy Gray in there

She's more of a celebrity than the yank that is a friend of someone who's sister had a sex tape "leaked"

The Mods confirmed how we treat spoilers in previous seasons.
Aired on TV including BOTS = open for discussion
Read it on digitalspy or twitter etc; etc; = stick it in the spoilers

Hopefully people go by this. It's the fairest way. I've no issue with things from BOTS being discussed even though I don't watch usually.

Now 3e and Be or whatever they are don't come in. Just the super basic channels. Believe me, I've tried to tune them in on the tv so many times. The online player was actually ok. It wasn't perfect but not too bad.

you may need to get your box to do a complete rescan. which set up do you have, saorview?

The only good thing about launch night is launch night drinks and I was too sick for that. Tonight we'll get to see the HM's interact properly for the 1st time. After that it will take a while for them to settle and then rinse and repeat with the men going in. Lots of dynamics to happen, I'm optimistic

Yeah but at least she's on a popular TV show so that equals celebrity. Maggie is a former police officer. Whatever good deeds she did I don't think should qualify her for cbb. Like what's next, a heart surgeon that's saved loads of lives, a random bloke that stopped a mugging once?
It's Celebrity Big Brother, not the Pride of Britain Awards! Just my opinion.

On this tv there's no box, that's why I can't get the channels apart from the basics. There's an inbuilt aerial but not a digital tuner

Yeah, but at least she had a 3 part show made about her fight to bring the pedo gang to Justice. All the while the powers that be didn't care, and then they got rid of her for no good reason. the whole of the UK know who she is.
Not some Muppet that is a friend of someone's sister that had a sextape "leaked" and now has a show because of it and she has a little bit part in it now and again.
Just my thoughts on it.

Odds on Maggie to win are 5 to 2. Seems she is liked by a lot of viewers.

I thought you two had a little thing going on that we weren't privy to and I got all excited and then I realised it was a spice girls reference and fell in love with you.

You need to invite jluv around and don't turn on the TV until 8.30.

Genuinely haven't a clue who Lena Dunham is. I know all of the people you listed above though. I couldn't remember what Stephanie Beacham was from initially, googled it, can't believe I forgot about Seaquest DSV

I've no idea who Lena Dunham is either.

Had a hit "comedy drama" show called Girls which was supposed to be empowering and revolutionary but actually was just stupid. I find her very annoying.

It's grand. I'll have access to a tv with Virgin tonight. Last night was just a once off. I've TV3 and 3e but not Be3 or whatever they are all called now.

I read this incorrectly at first, I thought you were watching it with a virgin in order to secure access to a TV with the right station. I was going to give you credit for dedication, then I realised I'm a giant filth bag whose mind went straight for the gutter. And you meant the actual TV provider.

I'm blaming the mad Alien bird flu for literally all my mistakes so another one won't matter

I've RTE1 but no be3, believe me I tried. I went up and down all the slots and then I retuned the tv and still no joy. I was though really surprised to see it has a Live Player version online.

Jesus this is turning into the "what channels does wryn have" thread!!! I'm sure she's not that stupid that she can't figure out how to locate 3e if she has access to it!

We could turn it into a game. See what other channels I'm missing

I just wish CBB would hurry up and start, it's taking all my patience not to dig into the treats tonight.

Could someone arrange a skype video call with Wyrn and point their camera at the tv screen, I'm not watching so can't unfortunately... :pac:
