Yes, another Big Brother thread for the strangest development yet.

Cameron winss a mini-task .Goes intot he diary room. Does not return. The others get quite worried about this but Big Brother is schtum. Why? Well they have whisked him off to South Africa.

In his place a member of the South African Big Brother is coming to the UK. Will the usual UK / SOuth AFriucan animosity kick in, like straight away?
Best BB evah!

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Do we get to see how Cameron gets on in Africa? Is there a South African Big Brother's South African Little Brother?

― Alfie (Alfie), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

WTF?!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Cameron the only member of the UKBB house to remember the famous Spitting Image song?

Apparently it's a pan-African BB, with the 12 housemates each from different African countires. I really thought they'd bring in a woman, but it appears we'll be getting a man to repolace Cameron temporarily. It's only for four days or something.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

(Tim did you get my thanks and my email that I sent out?)

BB4 ROXX U R ALL JON TICKLE.

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I assume he can speak English... (although it would be very funny if he didn't).

I was wondering what they were going to do to keep things interesting post-Fed and Jon. Now we know.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

(D-E no! When did you send it? You're welcome!)

I meant "is Cameron the only housemate old enough to remember the song?", of course.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

(I sent it to through ilx. Will respond in kind with appropriately strange auditory science. Found Monster Movie by Can in Norwich (!!) on vinyl and More Beatles Moog Madness! Was going to ask you if you want to contribute to something online that I have control of: you are guaranteed a rapt audience of 100,000 people a day).

BB4 ROXX U R ALL DAVINA'S PRISON BITCHES!

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and insert Cameroon pun here.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

...the song was the flipside of the Chicken Song as I recall. Some of the Chicken Song actions would make good BB tasks, tho I suspect the beheading of the Eskimo would have to be edited out on the grounds of taste and decency.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

His name is actually Gae, (uh oh), and has just gone in the house. Tim is right, i think he is only there til Friday thne Cameron comes back. Or something equally complex.

I think this is just a ruse for David Blunkett's refugee camps to be set up in Borehamwood. It makes sense, except for all the NIMBY protesters (which in this case would be the asylum seekers saying they didn't want those rough as arseholes locals knocking about).

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Next week, Big Brother replaces the diary room chair with an electric one in preparation for the embalming task. Big Brother convinces Scott to die horribly in return for being exempt from nominations.

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

And the first thing he says he must do after introducing himself is a "big ass dump". Fair enough.

U&K and yet dull q: Is BB jumping the shark?

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:06 (twenty-two years ago)

His name is actually Gae, (uh oh)

I think it's pronounced Guy, although I suppose in a South African accent 'gay' and 'guy' sound pretty similar...

tho I suspect the beheading of the Eskimo would have to be edited out on the grounds of taste and decency.

Had Cameron been sent to Inuit Big Brother, I think he'd of settled in quite nicely.

― Alfie (Alfie), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Unless he called them eskimos (Antony to thread).

No Alan - no shark jumpin'. Best BB ever. (Good stuff, out of the blue).

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Jon and Fed out means they can bore us on RISE and BBLB for another few weeks - Fed's eyes glazing over on mel+sue this morning. The first BB was pretty boring once Nick left, the structure and tasks do get better - as they involve more choices and interaction than the assault courses did. Having the VOTE WINNER go out of the house for a week is more interesting - will the others team up to challenge the cameron/nush hegemony. Only just found out Gos' invisibility is down to Brand name frenz - he is a fast food rocker. How Cameron got that grape past Steph's teef ?

ray and tanya to leave - then watch cameron blub at subsequent nominations

― s.r.w. (s.r.w.), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:11 (twenty-two years ago)

No, there's too much variety. I think the tasks should be minimal but designed to ensure the housemates don't spend all day & all night in bed(cf: superhero task). Their boredom must be maximised.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Tim, their boredom was maximised last year - they only had the live tasks and nothing during the week. They were bored shitless and those bars ruined the show. Give them more to do I say!

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

give them less to read!! back to actual real basics!!

(ps this does not include the bible obv)

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Possibly the best task oddly was the world record one, it really captured the imagination whilst being incredibly frustrating. (especially when you consider that even when they broke the record it got broke back by a viewer a few days later).

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I agree, there is nothing more boring than watching other people being bored. The live coverage is terrible on E4 as it just stays with one person, even if they're sleeping & the rest are having a mass orgy in the front room!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I want contestant-cam when I press my red button. Come on Telewest!

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

He's Ugandan according to the website. I'm so disappointed.

― Sam (chirombo), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:37 (twenty-two years ago)

no books, no clocks - would def. make it better

― s.r.w. (s.r.w.), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

next year: no gravity

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

The amount of oxygen in the house should depend on their winning the task. There should obviously be a basic amount of oxygen necessary to sustain life, but they should then be able to buy more oxygen with credits earned by successful task completion, in order to have enough to walk around, cook with gas, etc.

The housemates could choose to buy less oxygen to optimise the effects of alcohol consumption of course.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

above a certain level of oyxgen, they can opt for helium

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Or more oxygen to make them feel giddy.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

what would make it interesting is if: after failing the task, the failing team member is injected with a large amount of heroin. thus:- failing means you will not only leave the house with the possibility of the prize money and heat magazine spreads but also with the gift that keeps on giving: addiction!

federico: what? no OH NO ... *scrambles away from jolly housemates with poised needles*

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the people who fail the task should be sent into the "reward" room, which can then be locked and filled with cement.

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Federico: Oh NO OH NO...guys i'm slowly dying..
Jon: This reminds me of the Empire Strikes Back, when Han Solo...
Jolly Group Members: OH JON!

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, Gae's Ugandan, so SA jokes null and void - altho' according to C4's BB interactive thingy, he's already got it on with a South African girl in the African BB house, so it will be interesting to see whether he targets Evil Nush during his week in England

also he is a better chef than Gos, apparently

tanya to get the most nominations this week by a country mile

― zebedee (zebedee), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

they secretly replace cameron with charles manson! that would be betteR!

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Apparently when the new SA housemate told them Cameron was in SA, this was Tania's response.
"I can't believe he's in South Africa, I wanna be in South Africa."
Jesus this girl has to go. She is so selfish & spoilt & greedy & aarrghhhh ger her the f@#k outta there!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

is it just me or is it kind of err ... stupuid - i mean, it's not actually visiting south african, instead, they are just going to another house whereupon they will be locked up for four days before returning to lockdown in the uk?

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(it's called bumping up the ratings, doom-e)

― zebedee (zebedee), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not meant to be a holiday!!

i like the idea that all the BB houses worldwide are sort of secretly linked by underground tunnels, it's narnia-esque

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Stupid AND genius.

(I've been to South Africa - and what did you see there? Er, the inside of an even smaller house).

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the adventures of ptee in wonderland

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

NO FAIR I WANT TO GO...!!!

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Exactly, they get to fly to SA & then be locked in another house, wow, i wish it was me, NOT!!! Do you think they were allowed to speak to other people on their journey? I guess they'd look pretty stupid ignoring everyone!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

it works for mark s and j.lo whilst travelling...

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:24 (twenty-two years ago)

but doom-e we have each other: two free spirits against a cruel universe

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark someone has paid for those spirits. You may think they're free but they were likely intended for someone else.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

*nods and smiles as if he understands what tim is talking about*

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

*gives tim some change in hopes he will stop shouting at me on the sage wisdoms at me on the street*

― doom-e, Monday, 23 June 2003 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark - see the Round Ettiquette thread for more details.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

that thread is all greek to me, pete

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)
