Parallel Reality

I am a Troye fan but I find this a bit repetitive. Maybe it’ll grow on me.

I literally can't at them trying to push an Ashley and Ginuwine showmance. An Andrew and Courtney romance however, would be interesting.

So glad they only put two people up instead of like 5 which is what usually happens on C5! EDIT: Forget that. That’s better on a vote to evict. On a vote to save there should be three people up normally IMO.

I am absolutely loving this series so far. It definitely feels more C4 CBB but there are so many likeable and entertaining characters. I don’t know if that’s by fluke though :lol:

01 (01) Rachel Johnson - She is so balanced yet opinionated. I also find her an interesting character. 02 (04) Amanda Barrie - Just genuinely very warm and entertaining. 03 (NE) Shane Jenek - Shane and Courtney have been fantastic entertainment so far. 04 (NE) Andrew Brady - I like him on this a lot more than The Apprentice. 05 (03) Ashley James - Shows her caring side, and when she first went into the house, she gave me Aisleyne vibes. 06 (05) Malika Haqq - Talks a lot of sense, and I don't think she'll take any crap. 07 (NE) John Barnes - Seems nice enough so far. 08 (02) Maggie Oliver - Seems nice enough but hasn't yet done a great deal. 09 (NE) Shane Lynch - Again, seems nice. 10 (NE) John Mitchell - Meh. 11 (06) Jess Impiazzi - She's OK. 12 (NE) Wayne Sleep - He's OK. 13 (NE) Ginuwine - Literally have no opinion on him really. 14 (08) Ann Widdercombe - She has some very outdated opinions, but is responsible for some of the drama in the house. 15 (NE) Daniel O'Reilly - Just not likeable. 16 (07) India Willoughby - I want to like her but she has a completely ridiculous personality. She needs to lighten up and have fun.

Ann's reactions during that task. :lol: :lol: I'm really liking this series thus far! There is a great variety of people, with many likable, too!

Andrew is attractive but *cough*Should'veBeenElizabeth*cough*

With the Amanda/India thing, I totally get why India would be annoyed. She's been referred to as a woman the whole time she's been in the house so I'm not sure why people have referred to her as 'he'? It shows the kind of thing transgender people or those undertaking gender reassignment have to go through as this definitely happens in day to day life too. Obviously, it's a subject very close to India's heart - however I don't think Amanda meant it in an insulting way, it's like she just simply... forgot, or just didn't think, and the whole situation went on for longer than it could've, Amanda obviously felt awful. Courtney X's dress moment *.*

So far: 01 Rachel Johnson 02 Maggie Oliver 03 Ashley James 04 Amanda Barrie 05 Malika Haqq 06 Jess Impiazzi 07 India Willoughby 08 Ann Widdecombe

Ashley’s VT was great :wub:

“WE DIDN’T CUT THEIR FACES OFF!! :D I loved this. It was excellent. It was an iconic moment in the first episode when Tubbs put her face through the door blinds. Papa is terrifying. I loved Iris being in more or less the first scene too as she was one of my favourites from before. Everything Reese and Steve touch is gold IMO - I also loved Inside No. 9 and, of course, the incredible Psychoville. Just wish it would’ve gone on for another three episodes!

Channel 5 really need to stop trying to make showmances happen.

They had some great housemates this series. Issy had me in fits multiple times, Chanelle, Hannah and Deborah were also awesome. Raph was super cute and I still can’t believe that Sue and Simone were real people. :lol: :lol:

James is a great worker, but not a great leader. He was an abysmal PM the first time, and was more or less saved by Elizabeth and Joanna’s outstanding performance the second time. That said, I really like James - he’s not malicious or bitchy and is generally very positive, all (I think) is working in his favour. Joanna is the underdog for sure. She could do very well actually. She is a good leader but not a great worker, though some of that is also down to the people she’s had to work with. Elizabeth is hilarious, I’m so glad she has stayed so long. Usually people like her get the boot on like week 3. I don’t think she’ll win but she has excellent enthusiasm and drive. Sarah is very levelheaded and measured. It’s not a bad thing but I don’t feel a lot of energy (or anything, at all - it’s almost like she’s on auto-pilot/dead) :lol: She comes across as capable, but she just has ZERO charisma. Michaela is just the definition of ‘meh’ for me. I feel like she’s been quite lucky more than anything. I just find her quite cold and sometimes smug.

Elizabeth measuring that guy’s inside leg :lol: I can’t... So happy for Joanna’s team this week, and I do think the right two people were fired this week.

Not surprised at the winner. Did Pink sing this weekend? I thought she was meant to? If yes, was it ‘Beautiful Trauma’?

I love Elizabeth but how did she survive that?? :lol:

I think CutKelvins are definitely goners, along with one of either Kevin or Lloyd.

I think I must be one of the few that isn’t a fan of Michaela. She’s okay but I find her a bit “I’m just ya typical northern girl” cliché. I like Sarah and Jade though. I hope Harrison is next out :puke2:

I'm not convinced Grace will go tomorrow. I'm pretty sure Rak-Su have won the competition. I think it'll be The Cutkelvins and either Kevin or Lloyd. I think Simon wants Grace gone though, as she is probably the biggest threat to Rak-Su, and will probably do anything he can to make sure she is in the line of fire (Put on first, bad song choices, bad VTs etc)

This is so, so good and the song is growing on me too. She knows how to put together a good video - A true pop star of our generation.

Good to know, I must catch up on that later! to #39 now! Quite surprised Graham Norton’s show had so much impact.

Why has Learn To Let Go climbed so much??

Now up to #43 on iTunes!!

Guilty now up to #46 on iTunes. Has it been performed anywhere in the last couple of days? Maybe airplay is picking up. Either way, it is simply too good to flop.
