Quick word on the 'Save and Replace' task in which a nominated housemate wins a task and picks someone to take their eviction place. It seems to be causing some consternation but I think it's a sound intervention. The problem in previous years has been the same people getting nominated week after week who might be unpopular in the house but not necessarily outside- and we all remember how BB2's Paul thought his repeated escape from eviction was down to HIS popularity rather than his opponent's unpopularity. (Mind you, he was exceptionally thick). This is an excellent way for the nominations to be varied - and greatens the odds of one of the public's most hated coming into the firing line. It can also work the other way, granted, but still, it deals with boring repetitive nommos.
Three new housemates entered the compound on Friday, doing a silly little robotic walk because they were brought in via a SPACESHIP. Whoooh, COSMIC! (Really a box on a crane). BB are really going all out with the special effects this year. The table task where they were floated high above the house in week one was brilliant, as were the robots last week. Anyway, the new housemates are this thus:
Andrew - geekazoid nerdboy. Unfortunate face. Seems sweet. A bit young for the house I think - or maybe I'm just too old. Be interesting to see the effect he has on the Ben-Mario dynamic.
Rachel - bubbly scouse. Out soon hopefully.
Keeley - oh Keeley, Keeley, Keeley. Keeley has serious control issues which will bring her into direct conflict with the increasingly annoying Ife. When Keeley is asked how old she is, she says, "Guess?" When they guess younger she takes this as read, reveals her actual age and follows it up with, "But I don't look that old, do I?". Has the social grace of Naomi Campbell.
Next out: Caiomhe
Final five: Josie, John James, Mario, Andrew, Ben.
To win: Josie

Steve no longer in your final five? Will we discover soon that beneath his boring-as-fuck exterior he's actually quite a nasty cunt?
He has had a couple of horribly sexist moments - like when he suggested John James take Sunshine into a CUPBOARD and "sort her out" - this was said in front of her but as if she wasn't there. What, like, rape her Steve? So he lost me a while ago but is being very favourably edited for the GBP...
A notable downside to Save and Replace is that Caiomhe is NEVER going to be up for eviction.
Why? She could feasibly lose a task. I'm quite happy to have her in there for the moment - she's the only one who challenges Dave (who she calls "that weirdo monk") on his views.
She will never lose a task. And why challenge Dave when he could just be pointedly ignored. He's not worth challenging and she speaks almost as much shit... So there.
Update: you were right, and I was wrong. :(
