It's been nearly a month since I posted about Big Brother 7, let's see how they have shaped up from my initial thoughts...

Pete {indecipherable chinny twat, turn the gas on now!} became the front-runner among the housemates alarmingly quickly. I find his willingness to be used as the cuddly toy for the women profoundly annoying tho'.

Lea {the love-child of Jodie Marsh & Pete Burns or Jayne Mansfield after the car crash} is fast becoming paranoid about former mate Richard for no apparant reason other than he pulled her up on something. Her unnatural mothering of Pete is frightening and her constant mantra of "I don't back-stab" is becoming to look as threadbare as her bikini top.

Imogen {a Welsh bar hostess. Just dwell on that. This year's Saskia?} Well I got that right... her pairing up with the obnoxious Sezer echoed the Saskia/Maxwell assumption that they would naturally win. Will probably survive until the last week. Sadly.

Mikey {vile sexist clown, vile hair. Will be found dead in the pool} Regretfully that has yet come to pass. Has done nothing so far but slurp the vile Grace and be unintelligable and by staying so anonymous, like Imogen, will probably be in the last week. Sadly.

Glyn {indecipherable Welsh lifeguard, Byker Grove meets Baywatch} Still indecipherable but has provided a few amazed laughs - like his admission to learning "life skills" such as making toast.

Richard {Canadian mary. A sexual terrorist - or waiter} Not the outrageous character I think he was expected to be. Indeed his striving for fairness and balance in the household has seen him become a figure of hatred by most!

Lisa {Oriental Su Pollard - says she's 27, looks 73} Has done nothing to endear herself by her unrelenting bitching about others - even her swearing is boring. Now she appears to be coming adrift from Pete it can't be long before she's 86'd. Hopefully.

Nikki {Chantelle played by Sophie Thompson, couldn't stop a pig in a passage} A genuine BB original. Reminds me of the Arabella Weir FAST SHOW character who becomes a simpering ickle gurl whenever a big man walks in the woom and demands cuddles fwom vem. Then two seconds later becomes a spitting screaming garden gnome Vanessa Feltz-lookalike. As watchable as her schizo ravings are I could happily see her smothered.

Aisleyne My heart sank when she appeared as a new housemate - another vapid blonde Chantelle-a-like. However the nastiness shown to her by Sezer, Imogen, Grace and Lisa made her quite sympathetic and I must admit to kinda liking her. How she will act now she can get her claws into the vile Mikey as Grace is no more might change this however.

Susie Has not really made much impact on me since her winning a place in the house - a typically delightful double-edged sword as BB has done everything it can to make the housemates hate her. The immediate sniping at her by Grace, Imogen and Lisa has of course made me view her in a favourable light.

Voted-out:
Bonnie {"indecipherable fat cow, TK Maxx cover girl"} deserved to be voted out as she was this year's "Watch me stir it up in there" self-promoter only to sit there not saying anything and fiddling with her hair.

Sezer {Entrepreneur ladies man, will probably be turned by Richard} Ah Sezer... a wet rat dunked in a bucket of pubes whose morphing into this year's Maxwell figure was quite jaw-dropping. His pure cockiness and sureness of being loved by the women viewers made his being voted out on a massive 93% of the vote one of the most joyous tv experiences of the year.

Sam Every year the housemates whine about wanting new housemates after a few weeks. Then they get them and do all they can to drive them out. Never fails. Sam was simply too nice and - like Richard - trying to be nice to everyone in this particularly vicious house only lead to accusations of falseness. Sam's genuine distress after being unfairly accused of backbiting was particularly uncomfortable to watch.

Grace {Faux Sloane, will probably get pregnant by Mikey} Well I damn near got that right. Even by Big Brother standards she quickly revealed herself to be a deeply nasty and manipulative cow. Showed her true character when she threw a glass of water over Susie as she left the house. Was described brilliantly on the Popbitch board as "An old head on young shoulders. Literally". Voted out by a massive 87.9% of the vote.

Booted-out:
Dawn {possible serial-killer, "Monster" played by Whoopi - I think we have found a heroine} NOT! another one who promised more than she delivered. Anonymous in the house - much more entertaining after she left, threatening to go on hunger strike if Endemol didn't turn over all her footage!

The walkers:
Shabaz {Kemal de jour, came out of the car like an asian Liza Minnelli drag act} an Asian thermo-nuclear meltdown more like. Must have been profoundly difficult to live with but his hounding by the housemates was chilling to watch and did none of them any favours - particularly Richard.

George {"Public school ugbo, hates hyper-gay men"} quit the house as he felt he could not handle the fame when he left. Yeah. Right. Surely not because he couldn't face being nominated?
