Big Brother 2009 - the winner!

2009-09-04T22:55:03+01:00

Sophie Reade has won Big Brother 10. The Artist Formerly Known As Dogface is last out of the house, struggling gamely to stay in her miniature top and skirt as she spills down the stairs. It's a great moment for the lass, only likely to be soured by facing up again to Jeff Lynne lookalike Kris. It's been a rollercoaster for Soph, forced to change her name to the flattering sobriquet Dogface if she wanted to get into the house, and dismissed as a dumb blonde in the early days. She's come through in true style, taking a glob...

Sophie wins Big Brother! Siavash is second

2009-09-04T22:23:51+01:00

The gallant runner-up swans out in loin cloth and stilettos - it's the latest thing, we're told - straight into the arms of Elvis McCall. So one minute he was leaving, then he was staying, then he was leaving, then he was staying - well, now he's left, and he's trying to distract Davina from asking questions about Noirin. Be fair to the lad, the wounds are still fresh. ... and now Dav says Noirin's split with Isaac. This is shameless - they're just attempting to flap his legendary cool, but it's not going to work. Anyway, no time...

The bronze medal goes to David!

2009-09-04T21:37:08+01:00

Yes, the latecomer nearly made it all the way, but in the end Vivienne Westwood's best mate has to take the bottom step of the podium. As we go to a half-hour break, he's got plenty of time to mull it over - and plenty of time to listen to Siavash and Sophie saying, "YOU'RE going to win", "No, YOU'RE going to win" four hundred times in a row. He'll wish he came fourth. Anyway, who is it going to be? Tell us, we can't wait. Update: David is out, to be greeted by La Roux's older sister (lord...

In 4th place, it's Charlie!

2009-09-04T21:29:32+01:00

Mr Gay Newcastle 2007 is the next for the walk of semi-fame, bouncing down the stairs to face a fairly adoring public. He looks ecstatic, blissfully unaware of the grilling he's about to get from Davina about his feelings for Rodrigo. So far then, our predictions aren't way off, although David's putting up a better show than we anticipated. Back to Charlie, he's trying to pretend to Davina that he wasn't expecting to win even though everyone thought he was nailed on. Body language expert Judi James is on again, reckoning Charlie has grown as a person, but we're...

Rodrigo finishes 5th!

2009-09-04T21:04:02+01:00

The Brazilian stallion is first out of the house tonight, resplendent in shocking scarlet shirt, gold tie, white trews and - erm - turquoise trainers? The crowd loves him, so it's a cuddly start to the night. Davina's pulling the poor kid around by the ear, mind you, thrusting him towards the photographers, but he's looking pleased enough. If a little stunned. Bless him, in homage to his adopted country Rodrigo's wearing a Union Jack belt. Given to him by "the Queen"? The psychobabble tells us all that he's a lovely lad with an impressively fiery temper, and who...

Our final night predictions

2009-09-04T12:04:32+01:00

Posted by Jane Murphy The lines are still open, the votes are yet to be counted and verified – but frankly, we'd be very surprised if now-not-so-glamorous glamour model Sophie 'Dogface' Reade isn't declared the winner of Big Brother 10 in tonight's final showdown. Admittedly, Soph's been a bit of a slow-burner in the popularity stakes. During the show's early weeks, The Artist Then Known As Dogface appeared to be playing the “get me a 96-page special in OK! magazine” card with her frankly tedious reality TV romance with Kris. However, post-Kris, Sophie/Dogface has proved herself to be a...

Lisa is evicted!

2009-09-01T22:21:42+01:00

Posted by Tom Murphy Despite lasting 90 days in the house, smoke-wreathed Brummie Lisa has just failed to reach the end of BB. Clinging firmly onto her 'baccy, she was prised away from her beloved bus stop and trotted out of the house into the arms of Davina after catching more than two-thirds of the public's eviction bullets. The drama was cranked up as Davina went through the housemates – "in no particular order" – to tell them they were safely through to the final. It ended up in a Charlie v Lisa showdown, recreating the other night's tray-related...

Marcus is evicted!

2009-08-28T22:42:38+01:00

At long last Marcus has been booted out of the Big Brother house. It seems I wasn't alone in wanting this arrogant 35-year-old kicked out. In fact 64% of the Great British public agreed. The Wolverine wannabe was just as cocky as he left the house as he was during his time within the BB fun house. The window fitter seemed to enjoy the boos and soak up the atmosphere - it's just a shame he didn't change his vest. During his chat with Davina - who was joined by Andi Peters and resident critic Grace Dent - he...

Eviction Prediction - 28 August

2009-08-28T11:46:10+01:00

Posted by Dan Curley Unlike last week’s eviction, when I would have bet that Bea was getting the boot even if the odds given were my life to a fiver, this week’s eviction is harder to examine than a black hole behind a massive wall. Because this week, we have two very strong – and very different – housemates duking it out to reach the final week of Big Brother. And our own poll has them virtually neck and neck at 54% (Marcus) and 46% (Siavash) – which is too close for me to provide much conviction. Marcus’s transformation...

Bonkers Bea is given the boot!

2009-08-21T23:05:25+01:00

Posted by Dan Curley It was never gonna be a close call. The fact that entire crowd were all chanting “Get Bea out!” through the pre-eviction show and she had 85% of our eviction votes left us in no doubt as to who was being shot. But now the public truly has done the deed and bounced Bohemia Bea out the house and into the bog. And good riddance to her, we say. She sucked off Freddie Halfwit’s popularity like a parasite and for a time she played the other housemates beautifully. But she eventually sank and stank like...
