Yeah, I've never seen a Munchy box with that amount of salad in it, and the boys in my work get them every Friday for lunch, so I know them well. And where's the onion rings and the giant soggy naan bread that rests atop the entire monstrous mound of food? That's a weaklings' Munchy Box.

also as someone who has been watching Big Brother every year, well beyond the point where most people stopped caring, I think the first week of this series has been the best for a long time. The eviction interview on Friday was amazing, it had Rarity's workmate, who is insane, and an actor who had been paid to pretend to be a housemate sat next to eachother. Ensue hilarious car crash TV where the girl pretty much destroyed his interview by interrupting him constantly and incessantly and rudely berating him for being a deceitful and fake arsehole. Because she didn't understand the concept that he was a paid actor.

I once spotted Helen from Big Brother in a branch of WHSmiths. Ten seconds later other people recognised her and started asking for autographs. That's the limit of my BB claim to 'fame'.

To tie this in with the current topic of discussion, I served Eugene from Big Brother in a McDonalds. Nice chap.

I saw Rachael the Beyonce lookalike from Big Brother 2010 in Leeds station once, and saw the modern day caveman Nathan from the same series getting off a train near Bradford. I think Rodrigo the Brazilian lived in Leeds too, as lots of folk in the local gay scene said he was well known for being predatory in gay clubs.

Not having seen her on the show I can't really say how she compares to her in real life. She's definitely got a gob on her and a clear 'don't gently caress with me' attitude but she's friendly and gorgeous. If she counts as mental then I know people here who are way more crazy.

She was strong willed and didn't take no poo poo. The general public were terrified of her. BB always goes the same way: The strong get voted out, then you have the truly vile pieces of poo poo who somehow remain till 4 weeks from the end, then you have the finalists who are always boring fucktards. This is how it always goes apart from the series with Pete.

I've lay here and watched some Big Brother because you jerks were talking about it earlier. It's still the same old shite. A shower of attention-hungry morons bickering with each other about who is the most real and who's fake and who they've "connected" with. Curiously, they're still completely preoccupied with what "the public" might think of them. Guys, seriously, chill out and enjoy yourselves in there. You're on Channel 5. Nobody is watching.

Before the ad break they announced a competition: "FED UP WITH GETTING THE BUS? CAR KEEP BREAKING DOWN? WELL YOU COULD WIN THIS BRAND NEW MINI COOPER!"

Well, at least they have a clear target audience in mind. The ads were mostly for albums with songs I've never heard. Also when did "piff" become a word. Christ I'm feeling old.

Tonight was poo poo, no surprise there since the most interesting people have left already. I suppose possibly you mightn't have found it that interesting watching just one episode when they WERE in it either, but after watching the whole week it came together so perfectly. Honestly, Friday's eviction interviews were just ridiculous TV, I'd recommend it to anyone who used to like BB and especially to Rarity so that they can see Sallie being amazing. You don't need to know much of what was happening to appreciate a gobby glamour model trying to rip the poo poo out of an actor whilst he masterfully ignores/trolls her, all whilst an interview is trying to be conducted.

I was in a Costa having a sit down and a latte when I looked up at the gentleman next to me. He was talking to his friend with an accent like they have across the Atlantic. I was trying to figure out where I knew him from. All I could see in my head was a memory of him shouting, angrily. I racked my brains. I knew this bloke, but why did I have memories of him shouting and making me uncomfortable? Had he been a former teacher of mine? Had I upset him when I was drunk? Had I once fought this man bravely in a bar whilst in a blackout? That idea gained traction. He was dressed funny, what was it? Army man. He was in the army? Was I in the army? We were on opposing sides of the Great Transatlantic War of 2005? Was he my brother in arms against the axis of evil? Was it he that threw himself on that grenade for me? My friend, my brother, my saviour...!

It was a Big Brother contestant. His name may have been Dan.

I met Shabby from Big Brother. She was sitting on a curb with a hat and a guitar, because that's what Shabby from Big Brother does. I took a begrudging photo with her because I'd actually wanted to meet Josie Gibson, who didn't turn up :argh:

BB11 was the only one I ever watched, but it was fantastic. None of the other series ever interested me, but for that one I was even reading the Twitter feed for thrilling updates about Josie picking John-James' nose. And then straight after that it went to Channel 5, and all the contestants were these unbelievably awful 'trendy' under-30s and it was so loving bad that the only proper resolution would have been to gas the entire house. Is it still like that, or have they realised now that the trick to making a TV show about people's personalities is to put people with personalities in the house?

I've been watching this series. Off the top of my head, very few are normal contestants, as far as these things go. Mostly nobodies that have agents or publicists. I'll try and run them down.

Sallie Axl. 'Glamour model', although I've never seen her before. Makes the effort, I guess. Works with forums user Rarity (doing what? Is Rarity a glamour model? Probably)

Michael. An actor employed by Big Brother. Doesn't really count, obviously.

A mother and daughter combo. Mother was on some 70s shows as a pretty face or a dancer or something. Daughter was in a girlband that was ALMOST SIGNED (SHE WOULD'VE BEEN SO HUGE DUDES REALLY) and got addicted to drugs and is now clean.

A nerd in expensive clothes called Dexter (I think). Complains that he gained notoriety when 'the papers' published a story about him (a nobody) spending £120000 on champagne one night in a bar, complete with picture. He obviously paid for this coverage, and it was likely in the Express or the Daily Star. Part of his story is that he has all these sexy girlfriends because of his wealth, although on last night's show he was trying to have a conversation about being experienced with a woman in her 40s and it was cringe cringe cringe.

Daley. Professional Boxer who grew up with Dappy and Tulisa and has a Secret Origin that has yet to be revealed.

Hazel. Model. Says she's not a glamour model, but all her output seems to be promotional work in bikinis.

Geena. Like Dexter, has been in the papers before. Her mum gives her £40000 a week pocket money or something. That was a news story.

Jemima. Runs a famous dating agency or something. Might be something more to her story, but I've forgotten.

Dan. Hot Cop. Body, hair, charisma. Was a detective on Operation Yewtree, arrested Jim Davidson (or something). No idea what could POSSIBLY throw a detective on a case like that into the mix on a show owned by the same company as national newspapers...

That's 10 you can guarantee did not go through the old fashioned auditions process. I'm not even sure if there is an audition process anymore. The rest of the housemates are: a pair of singing male twins (might belong in the above category, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt), a lesbian who receives information on secret tasks from moths (classic big bro), a deaf child, a woman who looked at a caravan and a bland bland man. A blandman. A blaman. A blan.

Blan to win.
