The housemates succeeded in passing the shopping task, so it’s another week of luxury. Finally, Jennifer could throw away her seal costume and stop whining, this time about smelling of fish, on, and on, ad nauseam. Surely it will be her tonight?
Kathreya is finding it more and more difficult to deal with the bitchiness in the house. No sooner does she start to believe that everything has calmed down than it begins all over again. I thought Lisa dealt with Kath in a very rude and brusque manner, like a mean old nursery teacher reprimanding a toddler. Both her and Mario think very highly of themselves and believe they are the absolute king and queen of the house.
It looks like Stuart has completely gone off Jennifer since the Picturgate event. But Dale is always there for her. Will he be heart-broken tonight…

Heroes - Volume 2, ‘Powerless’
For a finale this was a little bit disappointing, the series just felt like it had been chopped in half - which evidently it had been due to the writers strike! Adam, who was this huge threat and had escaped death many times - was just whisked away by Hiro and dumped in a coffin, buried underground. Now couldn’t he have easily done that before? (And isn’t it very similar to what happened to Captain Jack in Torchwood!)
It seems that episodes 13 and 14 were already in production when the Writers Guild struck, but episode 11 was able to be rewritten into a more conclusive ending so that was used! This means we sadly missed the virus story getting played out and presumably Peter eventually rescuing Kaitlin from the future?
I did love the “I’m back” ending from Sylar though, I guess Volume 3 will return to having him as the central bad guy again - hopefully that won’t make it too predictable.
One of the interesting aspects of this series was seeing the heroes gain control of their powers, Peter striding down the corridor, blasting anyone or thing in his path was awesome. Nathan getting shot was a surprise but now we know they can bring people back to life, it wasn’t exactly a tearjerker - same with Nikki. Who else thinks it was HRG who shot Nathan?
Tim Kring has said that rather than being a conclusive episode, this was more of a build-up for Volume 3- ‘Villains’ - which he promises will ‘hit the ground running’ and is going to be bigger and better than ever - hurrah!! And the best thing is - we only have to wait until the Autumn for it….

Nominations! Surely we’ll see the back of Jennifer this Friday.
Things are getting weird in the house. “The Picturegate scandal” was incredible. Blown out of all proportion by Jennifer. She has completely lost the plot.
Talking of losing the plot - Becks “I’m size 12″, yuck! She is nursery nurse, I gather. I just wander if any parents of the children she looks after are watching. How reassuring for them to see the true colours of Auntie Beckie who takes care of their little darlings.
It’s always interesting to see things under the microscope in the BB’s house. I’m afraid I already watch every update.
Nice to see the yoof fashion too. Lots of scarves and hats for men, ’tis cold these days, innit?
Altogether now: “Happy house, happy happy happy house!”

BB9, Day 28
‘Get Becks out, get Becks out!’. What a disgusting blob of a ‘human’ this creature is - rude, fat (size 12 my arse!) and stupid, not a good mix! Purposely destroying someone else’s property and then bragging about it in her best ‘Vicky Pollard’ voice is bullying in my book. Not a good role model for someone who works with young kids.
After previous housemates have been turfed out for threatening, bullying, obnoxious behaviour - what is her motivation for the way she is acting and how has she escaped both nomination and removal from the house?
Does this year’s batch of inmates represent the youth of today? I like to think that the opinionated, selfish, ‘fame at any price’ attitude of these people is only shared by a minority so why give them a stage to shoot themselves on?
Well now I’ve got my rant out of the way, hopefully Jen will bite the dust Friday…
