Seany looks like Mick Hucknell in Timmy Mallet's clothes

...and Ziggy is definitely not cool

Sorry for the lack of blogs recently. I have been at the Isle Of Wight festival drinking far too many complimentary cocktails, laughing at Sienna Miller falling up stairs and talking to Sophie Ellis Bextor in a very bad wig. However, on my return I watched five hours of Big Brother back to back. Now that’s dedication for you!

To begin with I’ll start with the new housemates. On first impressions, Gerry seems like a nice guy even if he does have a rather humorous accent and lies about his age.

He seems pretty genuine, sensitive and, wait for it, intelligent. Now that’s not something I get to say very often about a Big Brother housemate. I also thought Chanelle was going to explode when he told her she looked like Victoria Beckham. I like him already.

However, Seany could be my new Emily [without the racism]. He looks like Mick Hucknall, but has the dress sense of Timmy Mallett. Not a good combination. I personally take an immediate dislike to anyone who tries too hard to be ‘wacky’ and thinks that wearing plastic chains around their neck makes them unusual. He also led to the departure of Lesley, something I cannot excuse.

It’s such a shame to see Lesley go. However, I loved her parting comments to the housemates with varying degrees of rudeness and fondness. I don’t think she could have won the series as she claimed, but I liked her spirit. I am now looking into signing up for the Women’s Institute in her honour.

I have to say the housemates this year have to be the most selfish bunch yet. I’m getting very bored of the food arguments, but I’m with Carole and Nicky on this one, even if their moaning has reached new irritating heights. Why does no one understand you have to have ingredients to make a meal?

I hate to agree with the housemates, but I’m getting a bit bored of Ziggy and Chanelle snogging. I don’t think Chanelle’s has an ulterior motive at the moment, but I’m starting to wonder about Ziggy. He also seems overly happy that both new housemates are gay so he can still be the alpha male. He did win me over a little however with the quote: ‘You know you’re in a house of females when you trip over a chicken fillet.’ But watch out Ziggy, I’ve got my eye on you!

Which leads me on nicely to the Bitches Of Elstree, Shabnam and Charley. Ooh they’re nasty! Not only do they bizarrely think they’re the most interesting people in the house, but they have to be the vainest women I have ever laid eyes on. I hope Tracey steals all their make up in the night and swaps it with Big Brother for some glow sticks. That’ll show them.

Finally, here are some other random things I noticed in my BB marathon…

Does Laura ever get out of that leopard print dressing gown?

Can Shabnam say a sentence without the F word in it?

Ziggy is overly fond of the word cool, which to make makes it distinctly uncool, especially as he sounds more and more like Cliff Richard every day.

Carole has earrings to rival Pat Butcher's.

Charley doesn’t wear skirts, she wears belts. Twinkle skimmers? I can nearly see what she had for breakfast!
