On tonight’s episode of Big Brother we got to finally see the reason why Alexandra De-Gale was “expelled” from the Big Brother house.
In a conversation on the couch with fellow house mates Darnell and Dale, Alexandra made a couple, of what Big Brother and Rex considered to be, ‘threatening’ remarks. Alexandra had made a series of comments about her ‘thug friends’ who were going to take care of her business with people once they left the Big Brother house and that past grudges would ‘never be forgotten’. While I thought the accusations Big Brother made about these comments to be kind of ’stretching-it’, I do think Alexandra, and her two previous warnings, was given appropriate time to modify her behavior- of which she did nothing.
Angela Jain, Head of E4 made the following statement:
“Alex has said her comments were not intended seriously and has apologised, but those comments will be widely interpreted as having been intended to intimidate. Big Brother has very clear rules about housemates conduct and that kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable.”
Even after watching tonight’s episode I’m still kind of confused as to why they threw her out. I watched last season as Charley called Gerry a “pedophile” and then continued to throw a glass of water in his face - all she got was a slap on the wrist. How come Charley was allowed to practically bully Chanelle out the door but Alexandra and her off-the-cuff remarks are just too much? Without Alexandra will Big Brother even be interesting anymore? Does this mean we now have to watch more Lisa and Mario?
In other Big Brother news, with the exit of Alexandra - Channel 4 will be sending in a new house mate come this Friday’s live show. What I think would make for brilliant television would be the expulsion of Alexandra followed by the entrance of Charley…
Do it Big Brother, you’d be the best.

Since the show launched a week ago Big Brother 9 has already had more fights and disputes than any season thus far - except for maybe the incredibly awkward shunning of Shabaz - and low-life British citizens are fighting back.
A couple days ago Alexandra launched an incredible verbal attack on three house mates which included lots of, “fuck-offs”, “I’m not arguing”, “I’m not trying to be funny but…”, “remember I told you”, and “you’re simple, bitch” type remarks. All because poor Rebecca burnt a couple fries.
British watchdog group Ofcom, which is basically just a room filled with a bunch of geezers, claims that they received at least 361 complaints that Alex was “bullying” other house mates. Sure, she was, but this is fucking Big Brother. If you can’t stand the heat- get out of the damn kitchen. Not to mention, if you don’t like simple people arguing over simple things then don’t watch the show- especially because you’d think after 9 seasons of it being aired in the UK you’d know what to expect when you tuned in every night. Don’t hate the game hate the player!
Big Brother did warn Alexandra for her behavior if you don’t like her, you don’t have to watch. Really… you don’t.

Last night we witnessed the first major blow-out between Big Brother house mates as Alexandra, whom I like to think is just a poor-man’s Charley, verbally attacked Rebecca and then Rachel and then Stephanie all in a row… Why? Because Rebecca burnt some french fries.
I find Alexandra to be pretty repulsive. When listening to her talk (especially yell) I can’t help but picture Victor (BB5) with a wig on, a really, really, bad wig on…
Big Brother called Alexandra into the diary room to warn her about her inappropriate actions- which, she then just disregarded completely as she walked out of the diary room in a huff. Big Brother said to Alexandra:
“Big Brother takes unacceptable behavior in the house very seriously. Unacceptable behavior includes abusive behavior directed at another housemate or housemates, including bullying.”
Evictions are this Friday and the odds are in, with Mario leading the pack for eviction.

Last night Mario and Stephanie finally had their wedding, which was the finale to their secret task in which Mario, Stephanie, Lisa (Mario’s actual girlfriend) and Luke had to keep the fact that Mario and Lisa have been in a three year relationship.
It started off pretty rocky and got, well, rockier. Stephanie who’s 19 and Mario who’s 43 weren’t the match made in Big Brother heaven they thought they were going to be, their incessant hatred for one another and constant fighting/bickering- not to mention their complete lack of affection instantly made the entire house on guard about trusting/believing their relationship was real.
On Sunday, after Mario was attempting to help Mikey (the blind dude) get toast in the kitchen Stephanie freaked out at him and called him a “stupid get” (whatever that means in Brit) because he wasn’t supposed to see her before their actual wedding ceremony- which, may I add, they believed was an actual legally binding ceremony (which, of course, it was not). This argument spiraled out of control, as most Big Brother arguments do, and Mario decided to call the wedding off. But he didn’t really, they made up, and decided they didn’t really want to fail their task.
During the HIRARIOUS wedding ceremony, when asked if anyone objected to the marriage between the two, it was Alexandra who finally spoke up despite the fact that she’s been losing her voice (thank God) for the past couple days. Where was Dennis? I thought you were THAT caddy gay? I thought you were the one that said you’d be the first one to stand up and object? Nope, you really must be a pussy like the rest of them (gays).
In the end it didn’t really matter if anyone objected, hence the task wasn’t to object at the wedding it was to keep the secret about Mario and Lisa. Just before the dinner reception Big Brother announced to everyone that there’s a “secret couple” living in the Big Brother house and gave the house mates one minute to decide who the couple is. It didn’t take much thinking as a majority of the house instantly called Mario and Lisa out. Kat, saddened by the fact that Big Brother interrupted dinner just turned and said, “…but wha abou da cake?”
Mario, Lisa, Stephanie and Luke all failed their weekly task and will therefore face public eviction this week. I endorse voting for Stephanie to be evicted just because I don’t want her touching my man Dale.

Big Brother 9: United Kingdom premiered last night overseas and during the entire duration of the show I just sat there saying “O-M-G” over and over again to the tenth power. Every year I wonder how they’re going to manage to one-up themselves, and every year they find a way to do it.
Last night saw the entrance of some of the strangest Big Brother personalities to date, here’s a quick recap of the ones you should know about…

This is Mario, who’s real name isn’t Mario and who has never been to Italy, and his girlfriend Lisa who have been together for about three years. They got the shock of their lives after they entered the Big Brother house when Big Brother informed them that they were going to have to pretend like they’re not in a relationship, the cover? This girl…

19 year old Stephanie, who’s going to have to pretend like she’s in a relationship with Mario (43) for AT LEAST the next week. Davina even told us at the end of the launch show that on Sunday Big Brother is going to inform Mario and Stephanie that they’re going to be getting married in the Big Brother house. Of course not for real, but they’re not going to know that.

Queen Alexandara. This years replacement for Charley…

Dale… Oh, dreamy Dale. It’s unfortunate though because he’s probably got the intelligence of a thumb.

Then there’s this thing… He’s obviously albino, the pink shirt doesn’t help. He hopes to change the face of albino people across the globe.

“He” doesn’t date anyone that’s more attractive than him… which basically means he’s going to be single for the rest of his life.

This is Kathreya, I can’t really explain her, Davina did a pretty good job by referring to her as the “cookie monster” as she likes to carry about a Tupperware container full of cookies.

He’s blind. He’s a ‘comedian’ although I didn’t find his jokes very funny. He touches people’s hair awkwardly and stands right in their face when he talks to them. I’d do my best to avoid him if I was in the Big Brother house, call me insensitive if you want. I’d do things like rearrange the furniture without telling him or swapping his clothes for ladies negligee.

In just a couple days Big Brother 9: United Kingdom is set to kick-off and with each coming day the rumors become increasingly more interesting… Here’s the BBUK lowdown as of today:

So…
Here’s what we’ve got so far.
The United States version of Big Brother is set to begin airing on July 13th, and there has been some speculation that CBS is going to run a Fan v. Favorites season much like this past season of Survivor. While I’m eager for them to just do a real season with no twists or gimmicks, I would still be interested in seeing how it would all play out. I think this is just another ploy by CBS to get Janelle back on Big Brother for a third time, and a third shot at winning- if she doesn’t win they could always just award her money (for the third time) for simply being America’s sweetheart.
The United Kingdom version is set to air sooner than expected with launch night coming next week on June 5th. That mysterious door in the garden I pointed out yesterday in my post with house pictures supposedly leads to the infamous ’sex room’ I wrote about a couple months ago. While the main bedroom has simple beds to sleep in, the sex room is fitted with luxurious double beds and is supposed to be ‘heavenly’ and a place where house mates can go just to have sex… Sounds like Channel 4 is pulling out all the stops to prevent their favorite show from permanently getting the axe.
Other rumors in the United Kingdom are that this season could possibly feature the return of some familiar faces… please be Charley… please be Charley… Some people are speculating that Channel 4 will send in past Big Brother house mates in an attempt to also spice up the competition.
We will bring you more news as we find it out.
