Rumours that they're going to try to bribe another housemate to leave, offering them 50K to not stay in the House until the end...

I couldn't be happier!! WOOHOO!

Of course, now we're going to be frustrated by Davina's not-Selfawarian-enough line of questioning...

He's still as annoying about his sexuality, in a "how dare Kinga tell me about myself" kinda way (she didn't; she asked). He's completely accepted his sexuality, "I just physically can't say it" - so no self-loathing there, then.

Not really getting that what's good for Craig ("but I don't feel bad about [molesting Anthony when he just needed to sleep off the booze] because it's what I needed to do") isn't necessarily good for others (Anthony). Nasty, insightless little cunt. Now piss off back to Norfolk.

Exactly. Obscurity beckons.

Snide little fucker.

In the immortal words of Sauron: "Cunt off."

Balls- I'll not be able to watch BBLB anymore becasue he'll be on it...

Anyone watching the live feed? Does Anthony look at all relieved?

Wow. I can control Channel 4 WITH MY MIND. Fear me.

Oh fuck, Davina that was so disappointing.

Let's hope the BBLB experience diminishes his character then.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
22:52 / 10.08.05
TAKE THE MONEY!

You beauty, that's fucking genius and it can't be a more perfect housemate for the question.

Take the money Eugene.

Sensible boy.

I have to admit I'm gobsmacked. But fuck it, I'm glad.
 
 
Ganesh
22:56 / 10.08.05
Nice one, Eugene. I'd have done the exact same thing. Sweetie.

Just think... if Craig had still been in, and it had been Anthony in the DR, he could have punched Craig and got kicked out, and known he still had the 50 grand.
 
 
electricinca
22:56 / 10.08.05
...and he can still win BB as well.
 
 
Warewullf
22:57 / 10.08.05
Aw, good for him! I'm glad. He'll be feeling really guilty now. Glad Craig wasn't in there. "How dare he take my Anthony's money? He's EVIL!"

Makosi's an evil witch. "There's no wrong or right answer...I wouldn't have done what you did".

If she's next out my joy will be complete.
 
 
Ganesh
22:59 / 10.08.05
Perhaps it's the Craig-out champagne, but I'm a little confused about the Davina 'clarification' at the end. What didn't Eugene hear in the Diary Room?
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
22:59 / 10.08.05
He's supposed to stay? Fuck that, I'd be off spending that money. Forget those clowns.

It's only a gameshow... and I win, sucka! Is what I'd say.

The others heard through BB feed to the living area that if he took the money, there's £50k left for the winner, if he didn't, then the prize doubles to £200k. Eugene didn't hear the second part; as far as he knew it was £50k for him or no change.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:01 / 10.08.05
He didn't hear that the money would be doubled if he said no.

I may be able to control Channel 4 WITH MY MIND, but h1ppych1ck got there before me.

Craig garnered a staggering 4.1% of the public vote to win. Next question, I guess, is whither Makosi's voter base: is the anti-Makosi crowd voluble enough to evict her ahead of Kinga?
 
 
Warewullf
23:03 / 10.08.05
Makosi's an evil witch. "There's no wrong or right answer...I wouldn't have done what you did".

She's such a liar! She would have taken the money and run! At least Kinga was honest about it. I think heard Anthony say he wouldn't have taken it and I think I believe that he wouldn't.
 
 
Warewullf
23:05 / 10.08.05

Makosi did get a much louder booing at the end than Kinga...
 
 
Ganesh
23:06 / 10.08.05
Makosi was booed more, sure, but there's always the 'yeah, but she's been sooo entertaining' crowd.
 
 
Warewullf
23:07 / 10.08.05
That didn't save Craig...
 
 
h1ppychick
23:07 / 10.08.05
She may not have been lying. Her self-confidence is so absolute (albeit misplaced) that she would probably have refused the money on the grounds that she believes that she will win anyway, thus gaining an extra £100 grand for her seeming altruism.
 
 
Warewullf
23:08 / 10.08.05
Ah. That's true...

Balls. Didn't realise that the eviction was that early, so only tuned in just in time to see Davina tow the line and make no effort to make the Sniveller aware of just what a watery puddle of shit he is.

Ah well. He's still got the moment of horrible realisation when he discovers that his reception outside of the hermetically-sealed media bubble isn't going to be quite as positive.

Sorry to go all conspiracy-time here, but shades of desperation with the 50k/100k/200k stuff on Endemol's part? Curious how the exact details of what was happening appeared on the DS forum about an hour beforehand.
 
 
Ganesh
23:11 / 10.08.05
Makosi's been more inventive than Craig, but she's made the same 'mistakes' in terms of being a vain, duplicitous, aSelfawarian cow - so it's anyone's guess whether the 'entertaining' transmutation takes place.

And yeah, she may well have been overconfident enough to gamble on her own likelihood of winning...

Ganesh, I take your point about "she's so entertaining", but I think and hope that the voting public may have moved on a bit since the earlier days of reality TV. The appetite is insatiable yet the loyalty is transient.

What I mean is that, stung in the past by less-than-talented winners of so-called talent shows who have rapidly dropped into obscurity (Steve Brooks-thingy? Michelle McManus?), whilst we will support absolute bastards right up to the very end of a reality show on the grounds that they keep things interesting, at the last moment when there is little remaining shelflife for any further entertainment, we switch support to the person remaining who is the most decent/talented. It's the Will Young/Alex Parks versus Gareth Gates/Alistair Griffin thing, a very British attitude.

I hope so, anyway.

... only tuned in just in time to see Davina tow the line and make no effort to make the Sniveller aware of just what a watery puddle of shit he is.

She ki-i-inda did, to an extremely limited degree. She attempted to suggest to him that, while overbearingly smothering drunkenthony might have been great for Craig, it wasn't necessarily a great thing to do generally - but a) she didn't exactly push it, and b) furthering insight was a doomed pursuit anyway in the World of Craig.

She didn't give him as hard a time as she gave Maxwell - which reminded me of Craig's part in the racist "are you patriotic" Team Swastika Moments. Oddly enough, they've been almost entirely airbrushed out of existence.
