starting from tonite, ive just read two events from last night that appear slightly bad. depending on if there shown and how there edited of course but both could harm his chances.

Brian: 'Are John James, Josie a couple?'

Talk turned to BB11 couple John James and Josie this evening, as some of the housemates chatted in the garden.

"What do you think Josie's doing now?" mused Brian, as Michelle told him that she thought the Bristolian would be spending time with John James. "Do you think they're still together?" asked the former air steward, surprised.

"It's probably their wedding day," joked the BB5 star.

"But do you really? Did you believe them?" he probed, as Victor replied: "I believed her."

"I think she loves him," agreed Nick. "So why did he never kiss her? It's so weird," noted Brian.

"That's the difference between men and women," explained Michelle, who famously pursued fellow BB5 housemate Stuart relentlessly during their series. "People always say that I'm the bunny boiler, but me and Stu were together for, like, a year afterwards."

"He was cute though," remembered Brian.

"Well I've got a better one now," she hit back, referring to her fiancé.




This being the main one, if this is shown there is no doubt about it that some of josie's fans will take offence and get riled with Brian....he can only lose votes if this is shown. imo

'Follow Brian' game riles BB2 winner

Brian became increasingly frustrated by a game instigated by Chantelle this evening, during which some of the group followed the BB2 winner and copied his every move.

"Brian's in the bathroom," announced the cheeky columnist. "We should follow him! Wherever Brian goes we just follow him. We'll pretend it's a task!"

"Do everything he does!" enthused Nick, as Victor and Michelle also got on board with the plan to wind him up. Rushing to the bathroom and gathering around him, the group immediately roused Brian's suspicions.

"Oh my God, what's wrong? What have I got to do? What have I done?" he worried. "What are you talking about? We're just in the bathroom!" laughed Chantelle.

"Well then give me some space, you're intimidating me," he protested. "Why won't you give me some room?"

As they continued to follow him around the bathroom, he shrieked: "Leave me alone!"

Meanwhile, Michelle remarked: "It's nice in the bathroom, isn't it?"

"Yes! What a lovely day to spend in the bathroom," added Chantelle.

"Oh, Jesus Christ. This is worse than being in prison. And I would know. I swear to God, you've got to leave me alone. All of you. You're driving me mad!" he said, darting out into the garden.

"What have I missed?" asked Vanessa, as Brian ran past her with the others in hot pursuit. "I can't take it!" he shouted, while Vanessa offered: "Shall I have a stern word with them? Leave this young man alone!"

Brian announced: "Right, I can't take it. I'm going to the Diary Room." However, this merely spurred on his followers. "I hope you get in there Brian, because we're coming with you," joked Chantelle.

"Let me shield you with my vast bodyweight," suggested Vanessa, as Brian cowered behind Ulrika.

"Move back!" announced Vanessa, standing in front of the former air steward and holding her arms out. "Oh God, this is so funny!" laughed Chantelle. "That was very funny," agreed Nick, as they finally abandoned the game.




this one is hard to tell, coz brian could of been messing about and playing along in a joking way but from the title of the article 'Follow Brian' game riles BB2 winner, you would think he does actually get a bit sh!tty with the girls which wont go down well depending how 'sh!tty' he gets of course....if he comes across as the stuck up pompus g!t we all know he is, it could look bad and the mask may have slipped a little

It's a good spot arm - there's rarely been a more motivated reality TV army than those JJJ fans. It's like a cult.
Report armagnac September 8, 2010 11:11 AM BST
if its shown it could definately turn things on its head, Nadia got absolutely mullered for it, all depends if BB want Brian to canter home i suppose...they need to spice it up though surely ??
they must have lost so many viewers, hardly any of us are interested anymore...showing Brians bad side will surely bring back the viewers which may bring a voting frenzy in a more open final.

Judging from the numbers of views and comments on C4 site there is still vastly more interest in JJJ - they recently posted interview with them - than anybody in UBB.

The second one will be all good fun i imagine. It would have been more interesting to see how Brian reacted if he had been up for eviction. Still can't believe Nick didn't nominate tactically Cry

Brian is a kind of default winner that a lot of people don't have any enthusiasm for, I think if they put Josie back in today she'd win.

Report armagnac September 8, 2010 11:33 AM BST
Josie sure would Henry, thats why showing Brians snipes are vital in bringing him down...and i dont think it would take a lot to bring him down either because hes so nice, if he did or said something nasty it would be highlighted 100 fold whereas with someone like Nick it would be just shrugged off...and people may think...well Brian fooled me, hes actually quite horrible.
The GBP are always looking to see if theres any bad in good people, take Gary Linekar...that chap didnt even get a yellow card in how many minutes on a footy pitch ??

really don't think it will have a major affect on the voting, may affect the prices though. If so I will pile into the 1.7 [;)]

im thinking Brian will not achieve his full amount of votes simply coz a lot of his fans think he has already won and wont be bothered about picking up the phone...and for that reason, i doubt very much he will have as many multi-voters as someone like Nikki...who's fans are much more fanatic.
Report paddletoe September 8, 2010 7:32 PM BST
I dont anyone could think that Josie does not have real sexual feelings for John James. But most people would not think John James feels the same way.

Normally,you could not criticise a fella for failing to have the same feelings towards a girl which she might have towards him.

Except, John James more or less called Rachel a pro stitute for appearing on a magazine and now he and Josie are plastered all over those same magazines. Which everyone knew would happen.

I think most right thinking people would call the Josie and John James romance a lie.
Report TheMadness September 8, 2010 8:20 PM BST
Only the demented on Digital Spite think it's a lie paddle. Just about everyone who has seen them off camera says they are together. The problem is we're so used to seeing people sharing these intimate moments for all the camera's to see, we don't know what to make of someone not wanting to do that anymore, when in actual fact it's the more reasonable and sensible behaviour.

As for the mag deals. All John James ever said was that Rachel was only in there for mag deals and that's it. He didn't say he wouldn't do it, just that he wasn't in there for it.

Think 80% of casual viewers which will make up a large portion of the final nights viewing figures will vote Brian. Even without them you'd suspect he wins by a fair few percent. No bets for me, market looks spot on. I'd be surprised if Brian didn't win, but 1.35 looks about spot on.

are people going to be leaping for their phones to vote for Brian to win? I still don't see it. He has got really boring and hardly been the centre of attention in any of the h/l edits. It's been a lot more about Chantelle, Nikki, Vic and Ulrika.
Ulrika is definitely overpriced for me. Not saying she'll win but I think she's a lot of casuals' choice. Forumites overlooked her before. I think there's something about her that strikes a chord with middle-aged women.

I don't think he has shone at all, and his whole 'act' has looked contrived. He has been so desperate to find that witty one-liner and steal camera time it has been beyond transparent. But I'm not the BB voter and my opinion is rarely backed up by what happens with these votes. I've learned that voters aren''t nearly as discerning as I am.
