Loreen Releases New EP - "Nude"


Loreen Releases New EP - "Nude"


After failing to represent her country for a second time at the Eurovision Song Contest, Loreen was determined to not be beaten, swiftly returning to the studio to record her new 3 track EP "Nude", as a way of giving back to her fans for the support throughout her Melodifestivalen journey, as well as the continued patience as she prepares the release of her much anticipated album.

"Nude" has taken Loreen on a completely different musical direction, abandoning the heavy Eurobeat anthem like sounds, and instead taking a more alternative path, experimenting with heavy vocal effects, bolder bass and drum lines, and repetitive lyrics.

"Body" harks back to a 2013 "Heal" kind of style, showing fans that she is still the same artist who won back in 2012, however she has upped her game, showing a dirtier, grittier side to her artistry. "I'm In It With You" was a massive turning point in Loreen's musical style with fans (including myself) hating on Loreen's new style because of the success she had built up post Eurovision in the Europop genre being replaced by an edgy, experimental Loreen. In Body, Loreen has taken what fans loved about songs on the heal album, and updated for a fresher, more 2017 sound.

"Jungle" is almost like the anomaly in Loreen's vast portfolio, but not in a negative way. The prominent bass riff and offbeat chords show that Loreen is almost testing the waters, experimenting in a genre that is alien to her, something perfect for an EP release. This also marks the second collaboration on an album single, the first being with Blanks on the last track of "Heal".




"Oceans Away" makes early use of Loreen's iconic inaudible mumbling a constant issue throughout the EP, before making swift use of slightly dissonant tones and launching into a eerie drum and bass tune. Perhaps the most accessible lyrics, Loreen describes getting away from her past and going to an ocean far away, perhaps symbolising her getting away from her 2013 style.

All in all, "Nude" is a good little present before the November release of Loreens second studio album. For now, fans are left to speculate what tracks will be featured on the album, and whether they will be similar to tracks on "Nude" or whether Loreen will return to the Europop bangers her fans know and love.

Album wishlist
Track 1 - Statements
Track 2 - New Song
Track 3 - I'm In It With You
Track 4 - Dumpster

Most Shocking Moments of Eurovision 2017

Most Shocking Moments of Eurovision 2017


Olex flirting numerous times during the jury votes

Oleksandr tryed his hand at a bit of flirting, asking French spokesperson Élodie Gossuin for ER number after she said they would be welcome in France. Smooth.

Cyprus and Greece are booed for swapping 12 points

After years of historic voting similarities between the two countries, this isn't really surprising, although the reaction from the crowd came through loud and clear on TV, even though it wasn't really necessary.




"My Turn" is played instead of "Fly With Me" in the jury final

More humorous then shocking, but it shows a level of unprofessionalism amongst the organisation of the performances, as this was not the only technical problem throughout the contest.

Estonia experience sound problems

Unfortunately Estonia also suffered from technical issues during the semi final, where Laura's microphone failed to automatically switch on as it should have done, meaning the first few words of the song were barely audible. This must have made everyone on stage nervous, and ultimately, Estonia did not qualify.




Mel and Scott talking over the end of a number of songs (UK commentators)

It's honestly not that hard to just wait for the applause of the crowd to know when the song is over. Ireland and Croatia (I think) who had less predictable endings were cut off as Mel and Scott made throw away comments about the songs, ruining their endings.

Austria, Croatia, and Spain hit major bum notes

I know that these guys must be knackered after weeks of touring and singing, and that everyone makes mistakes, but these really did not live up to expectations on the big night.

Nathan fails to sustain his high note at 2:29, but credit to him for covering up the blip well.




It was then Croatia's Jacques' turn to try and nail those high notes at 2:25 which he did, although afterwards struggled to hit the vocal pitches, instead opting for the basses pitches. Not a huge problem, but it wasn't the same as the studio. Nevertheless, still a stunning performance.




The last bum note came from Spain, and it is one that will probably haunt Manel Navarro for the rest of his life. It's as if his vocal chords decided to imitate noises that should never leave the bedroom, and probably ensured that no one will ever do it for their lover ever again.




One could have tried to get back to the right pitch, instead of then continuing the high note a pitch higher then the studio version, but no, the universe decided that Spain was not going any higher then last place, which I guess can't be any fairer for a country who picked their act through corruption.

Seriously though, I am disappointed for Manel, as he is a good guy with a good song that due to the circumstances of his selection would have ended 26th if it had not been for the bum note, due to bitter fans.

Finland and Estonia fail to qualify

I have already expressed my shock at both of these countries not qualifying from the semis on my Semi Final 1 and Semi Final 2 reviews, but I've still not got over it, as even though they weren't my favourites, judging by fan reception and just overall song quality, I thought their qualifications were a given.

THOSE Kisses

Last night saw two countries show a bit of love on stage, as Belarusians Ksienija and Arciom of Naviband ended their folk number with a cheeky snog on top of their loveboat, which to be fair was quite cute. Unfortunately, when rapper Alex tried it on with yodeller Illinca who represented Romania, although what ended up happened wasn't exactly how Alex pictured it.


Awwww


She did not come alive inside the light of the unexpected..

The UK ends 15th in the grand final
It was absolute shock horror when the UK received just 12 measly points from the televote; most of which came from neighbours and fellow English speaking countries Ireland, Malta Australia, along with some cheeky points from Lucie Jones' best friend Manel's country Spain. After achieving a respectable 99 points from the juries this was quite an injustice to Lucie, who gave a stunning performance, and deserved at least top 10.

Latvia ends dead last in their semi final, and San Marino ends with 1 point.

How does this happen? How does "Line" score lower then "On My Way" and "Paper"? Latvia had been a favourite throughout the contest for many, they went on the promotional tour, they had personality and they had amazing staging....yet they come last??




I'm not as shocked that San Marino came last in their semi, but come on, the queen of San Marino deserves more then one puny point.




Jamala is the victim of an X rated stage invasion

Everything was going swimmingly until some guy decided t get on stage and show the world his pride and joy. Despite this, like the true professional she is, Jamala just kept on slaying, clearly unfazed by the a$$ just next door to her.




Sadly for her though, it appears as if full footage of the performance may be forever lost, as the official Eurovision YouTube channel have yet to upload her full performance from the night as they have for the rest of the acts, and perhaps never will...

Portugal win the Eurovision song contest 2017

After 53 years of participation, and not one top 5 placing, Portugal finally lifted the trophy with the ballad "Amar Pelos Dois" (Love For Two Of Us), taking the contest to Portugal for the first time ever.

I am absolutely overjoyed at this result, and will do a full review of "Amar Pelos Dois", along with a few other songs from the final.




I have loved following the contest, right from when the participants of Festivali i Këngës are announced in December, to the grand final, when after 6 months of waiting, we find out the winner.


What other shocking moments were there this year? how do they compare to the last year? Let me know!

Eurovision Semi Final 2 Review



Eurovision Semi Final 2 Review

The tension is definitely rising now, as we are just 24 hours away from knowing the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. Last night saw the last 18 countries compete for the final 10 spots remaining for Saturday nights extravaganza.


Surprisingly in my opinion, the opening act of this semi was just as good as yesterdays, with Oleksandr and Timur performing a number of Eurovision classics on traditional folk instruments. You've got to hand it to Ukraine for staying traditional, yet still entertaining!


Unlike yesterdays results, there were a few surprises and shocks with who qualified and who didn't. First of all, here's who I predicted to qualify:

1) Bulgaria
2) Hungary
3) Netherlands
4) Romania
5) Israel
6) Austria
7) Belarus
8) Norway
9) Estonia
10) Ireland

Again, 8/10 isn't bad at all, with only my last two qualifiers failing to make the final cut.

Estonia failing to qualify has been the biggest shock of the season so far, with other entries that in my opinion were no where near the quality of theirs managing to make it. It dumbfounds me to think that the juries would not elevate a song and performance like this, as it harks back to the old but gold days of Eurovision with the pixelated graphics and vintage sound, but it's also modern and has been a fan favourite since it's selection.



The only justification I can give to it's non qualification are the vocals, which from the start were not brilliant, but to be honest never really have been in live performances. A lack of experience and a true fanbase due to not being on the press tour could also have contributed to being low on the televote, but I think the biggest crime of all was the technical issue at the start of the song, where the first line was muted on Laura's mic, and only audible through the camera mics.



This, if heard through the in ears must have made everyone on stage pretty nervous, and could be the reason for the weak vocals. After the technical hitch, the track should have been stopped, and restarted, as they'd only sung the first line unlike in 2010, where Daniel Diges had already gotten more then halfway through his performance before the iconic stage invasion from Jimmy Jump happened.

If he is allowed to perform again, why shouldn't they?

I also predicted a qualification for Ireland, as I thought the juries would lap up his unique voice, and get behind this emotional ballad. Despite the song growing on me in recent days, the staging and camera angles lacked power and drama, and after he performed, I knew he would not qualify.


Does that hot air balloon go as far as Ireland?
Another huge shock of the night was Denmark actually making it through with Anja Nissen's "Where I Am"  a very standard power pop song with little to no impactful staging, which is what I thought the song would definitely need to scrape through. The only solution I can think of is the people voted for the reoccurring red dress, which thankfully Anja chose to wear over the 10 year old's sleepover pyjama bottoms she was going to wear.



Of course I can't forget Croatia, who very narrowly missed my list over Ireland, due to the absolute mess of a stage they had. I don't think I've ever been filled with confidence over a Croatian stage, but regardless of that, he slayed the vocals on the night and earned his spot in the final.



Despite not qualifying (or coming near to, for that matter) an honourable mention should go to Lithuania, who gave, in my opinion one of the best staged songs in Eurovision history, based on the song they had to work with, which was sadly one of the most disliked songs this year, yet still managed to get one of the best receptions of the evening from the crowd.


Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, ying yeah
Sticking the fingers to the crowd is not recommended

I honestly can't wait for the grand final on Saturday, when we will finally know the winner!

Eurovision Semi Final 1 Review


Eurovision Semi Final 1 Review


After months of promo tours, press meet and greets, and hours and hours of rehearsals, the Eurovision song contest officially began in the International Exhibition Centre in Ukraine, and what a night it was.

The show was kicked off by Monatik a apparently famous Ukrainian rapper performing the English version of his song "Spinning". In the nicest way, Ukraine aren't exactly known for their vast musical talent, but that doesn't mean they don't have any. I enjoyed Monatik's performance, showcasing the traditional clothing and ethnic music of Ukraine, yet still interesting a pan European audience through the means of rap, which is steadily gaining momentum as being a mainstream genre.

I can't say personally that the hosting so far is really working for me, as they seem a bit stiff and too scripted, which although every line is, a good host makes it look seemless and natural, as Petra and Måns did last year. Regardless of this, it is fair to say they are following a tough act, and are not anywhere as unbearable as Ben Camille and Valerie Vella of Junior Eurovision fame.

Song wise, I do believe that semi final 1 was the weaker of the two semis, and I have been feeling a little cocky about my Qualifying predictions, which were:

1) Portugal
2) Sweden
3) Finland
4) Azerbaijan
5) Armenia
6) Latvia
7) Belgium
8) Moldova
9) Cyprus
10) Australia

This isn't necessarily who I wanted to qualify, but It was who I thought had the best chances going into the semis. As you can see, I got 8/10, which I'm pretty pleased about, but I will be talking a bit about which predictions I got wrong.

The first prediction I got wrong was Finland not qualifying. I wasn't personally a fan of the song going into the semi, however it is fair to say that they were well and truly robbed in Ukraine last night, after a stellar performance with tasteful staging. I can understand and attribute their non qualification to the song itself, which is just to slow and repetitive to attain a first time viewers attention, but I would have thought the juries would have saved an entry like this, which is essentially what their job is.



I honestly did not see a Greek qualification this year after last years bad luck with the masterpiece that is "Utopian Land" (my mum still loves it!), though I'm guessing that extra performance in the prized last spot after "technical problems" in the jury performance must have paid off, as well as best friends Cyprus also voting in semi final 1. Overall I thought it deserved the final, though a change to camera angles on the part where she is floating seems could really elevate this.



Shockingly, Latvia failed to make the final with Triana Park slaying the song "Line", making the fist injustice of this Eurovision season.



How does this not qualify, and a man with a horse mask does?

The jury must have obliterated this, as I can't see this coming any less then 6th with the televote. It had light, it had wind, and it had colour, what more can you want?

Another shock to me was Poland qualifying not only over Finland and Latvia, but also over (in my opinion) stronger entries such as Montenegro and Georgia. Televoters must have really bought into the message of the song and strong vocals by Kasia, but I am surprised the song managed to stand out with such minimalistic staging (which isn't always a bad thing). My guess is that voters wanted the near nip slip to become a reality in the final..


#Freethenip
Speaking of minimalistic staging, a mention must also go to Salvador Sobral, who I would happily put money on to win the contest this year. From start to finish I was astonished by his powerful and expressive performance. I don't speak Portuguese, but also don't need to to understand and appreciate the meaning of this song.


The face of a winner?

For me, Semi final 2 is going to be a bloodbath, which so many amazing songs and genius staging. I'm crossing everything for Belarus!

BBCAN - The Betches Are Back!


BBCAN - The Betches Are Back!

After a long, HARD year of having the Pax Bros as our reigning BBCAN champions, the space odyssey launched, blasting 8 fresh faced newbies, and 8 returning veterans high into the stratosphere to compete for the grand prize of $100,000, a new Toyota Car, and a home makeover worth $30,000. (Try to say that in your head without using Arisa's voice).

Often when shows try to get returnees back on the programme, they'll just go for whoever they can get back onto the programme, which doesn't always result in a good series. BBCAN pulled out all the stops, and have allowed only the best of the best to return with a few exceptions *cough cough, Dallas*.

Seriously, they'd better get some letters for the queen of shredding IKA WONG to tear apart with those claws, and provide a couple of weaves for Gary, who fell victim to a $100,000 voting mishap, which in all fairness provided one of the most phenomenal live TV mishaps EVER.

We've also got to talk about the Queen of Canada allowing herself to renter the house to claim the prize she rightfully earned in 2016.


Courtesy of Connor Mark - YouTube

Also in the mix are a professional pizza maker (she'll be popular), a musician, a professional boxer and a blogger (no, not me).

Cast from left to right - Dre, Dillon, Sindy, Demetres, Jackie, Emily, Kevin, Ika, William, Mark, Neda, Dallas, Cassandra, Karen, Gary, Bruno.


The first HoH comp of the season was once again an endurance competition, and somewhat surprisingly was won by the oldest member of the house, Karen, who wasted absolutely no time by nominating two big boys, Mark and Demetres. Of course Cassandra being the supreme ruler of Canada shook her head, and decided Demetres needed to stay, and what do ya know? Mark walked though the door before the game had began, and Demetres wins himself HoH.

Demetres then decides to nominate Emily as a pawn and Dillon as his main target, after setting up a feud with him in order to stay in the house, curtesy of Cass once again, but what does Dillon do? he wins HoH! Am I happy? absolutely not, I think Dillon is basically feeding off of Emily's game, and his own ego more then actually employing any thought or strategy to his game.


The focus in that face..
"Please mess up, please get 0"
Is this sufficient?
Demetres then puts Dallas in the place of Dillon, which is a fair move for Demetres, although for Dallas It goes
                                                       downhill
                                                                    from
                                                                            here.

For some reason, he gets it into his mind that he should completely turn on his alliance with Emily and Dillon early on in the game, to try and prove loyality to the veterans, who bridges had already been beaten and damaged beyond repair.

By the looks of it, Dallas realises that his actions that week were just strange, and decides to repledge his loyalty to Dillon and Emily and pretend that nothing happened.

Did he heck!

In one of the most bizarre game moves I've ever seen, Dallas begins to try and crush Sindy, yes, Sindy with an S's game by calling her out for doing pretty much nothing. Let's just remember who came 13th, and who came 11th Dallas?

Obviously Dallas was next to be booted from the BBCAN odyssey, despite the veterans at first wanting to stick together.


It was pretty easy for big Deezy to blow up his game.

Neda, who had previously carried Jon to the final was then given a free ride by Canada to ride to jury, although she does not want it to seem that way, and decides to win herself HoH.

I mean, why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Despite this, she has done the unthinkable, and has booked the queen in for an execution, alongside a pawn.

All I know is Cassandra or Demetres NEED to win PoV, to ensure that the queen rules another week.

Survivor Game Changers Episode One


Survivor Game Changers Episode One

Yep, it's that time of the year again, which sees 20 civillians battle it out over the course of 39 days, trying to outwit, outlast and outplay, all in order to achieve the infamous title of sole survivor.

As a UK fan having only watched the Kaôh Rōng and Milenials VS Generation X seasons, it was interesting for me to recognise previous players from the two seasons I've seen (Team Aubry!), but also to be able to see legendary players from older series that I've not seen play the game.

The first shock twist came in the form of a voting twist - When the vote is a tie, there will be NO revote, meaning it will go straight to a unanimous decision, or if one can't be reached, a rock draw. This twist could prove to be fairly useless if no split votes are used, or it could be FATAL, as with the case last season, where Jessica was sent home after drawing a white rock over a split vote between Hannah and Zeke.

The series began as standard, with the two different tribes collecting as many supplies as possible. Ozzy also retrieved a toolkit for his tribe Nuku, whilst Sierra found a legacy advantage, which she nearly missed, which would give her immunity when there were either 13 or 6 people left at camp.


Panic insues. Debbie doesn't really mind.
Really?

Once all the supplies had been salvaged, the two tribes headed their separate ways, when Tony decides to announce that he is off to look for the idol, leaving the rest of the tribe to their jobs. Not only is that not pulling your weight, by leaving everyone to do all the hard work whilst you go off to search for something that only benefits you, it's also putting a HUGE target on your back, without the game even really starting. Also, I do think an opportunity was missed by the other players - Someone could have gone after Tony, saying they were going to watch and check he doesn't find the idol and look for the idol themselves. That way, they could say that Tony has the idol, putting an even bigger target on their back.

Mana tribe  which consists of Ciera, Tony, Aubry, Michaela, Sandra, Hali, Malcom, Caleb, Troy, and Jeff won the first immunity/reward challenge of the series, meaning Nuku tribe, consisting of Andria, Brad, Cirie, Sarah, Ozzy, Zeke, Sierra, James, Tai, and Debbie would be going to tribal. Ciera made a big mistake in being too eager to get the bigger targets out early on, and making it known to everyone therefore what her game plan was, and was first to be voted out by her tribe.


Bye Felicia!

Mana tribe then again won the following immunity/ reward challenge, avoiding tribal council by quickly manoeuvring a giant snake (probably called Taylor or Jay) through an obstacle course, before ripping it open to retrieve rings to through at flags spelling "immunity".

Understandably, Tony was the second voted out at tribal council, after trying to snatch the queen of survivor Sandra's crown, and get her voted out.


"That's what choo get, take yo ass home"

Overall, I'm very happy with how the season has kicked off, and I am ready to enjoy 3 months of good play from the best of the best!

Why The UK Will Never Win Eurovision


Why The UK Will Never Win Eurovision

On Monday, the BBC revealed the six hopefuls who will be competing in "Eurovision - You Decide" on Friday, in a bid to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song contest which is to be held in Kiev in Ukraine.

To say the least, I'm not impressed.

Open your mouth if you didn't win X Factor!

It's all very well the UK finally giving the public the chance to decide who represents the country, after numerous failed attempts with the likes of Englebert Humperdinck, Bonnie Tyler and um, Electro Velvet, but if they are going to give us the power, they need to shortlist a variety of music.

You'd think that "Industry professionals" would be able to pick a bigger variety, rather than 6 X Factor rejects..

I can remember only 2 of the songs, Salena's "Put Down Your Weapons" and Daryl's "Light Up The World" as they're the only ones that are uptempo, and have a bit of colour and character to them.

The rest are Jamie-Lee "Ghost" songs, dull and lifeless, and will definitely score us 0 points.

Celebrity Big Brother - Super Duper Nominations


Celebrity Big Brother - Super Duper Nominations

Another week has passed in the Borehamwood bungalow, and it has not been without a whole lot of twists and turns. Three housemates have been evicted, and a further two receiving eternal immunity and eternal nomination.

We first said goodbye to Jasmine, who out of a choice of James Cosmo and Speidi was evicted by her fellow housemates, and made to exit through the back door (literally) she's probably been there before! 

Her face says it all

Image from Tellymix
We then saw the housemates very unpredictably nominate face to face, which has not happened at all this series obviously.

Up for nomination were James C, Speidi, James J and Coleen, the latter being saved first off by the public after receiving the most amount of votes. My question is: Why? It's not like she's bought a whole lot of entertainment to the house, as oppose to James J and Speidi, other than arguing her opinion and being two faced.

What's more, JAMES J ended up being evicted, which was 100% percent the wrong choice. James brought so much entertainment to the house in his own way, winding Stacy and Kim up in a way only he could and "bantering" with da lads.


When I say James, you say J!

Image from Digital Spy

Soon after, a superhero task was launched, in which housemates would have to dress up a superheroes and sidekicks, and stand on a podium when some music played.

Boring right?

I remember when Big Brother used to be about the tasks, and they used to dominate the episode time, however, now the content is mainly arguments and drama, which in moderation is great, but when it's a whole episode EVERY DAY of it, it's dull.



Up for nomination were Jedward, Coleen, Kim and Chloe, after their superhero counterparts chose to nominate them. Rather predictably, Chloe was evicted and to be honest, I don't miss her. We've always got to have a Geordie Shore housemate to get absolutely annihilated (thanks Jayne) and make a complete knob of themselves.

ANOTHER nomination twist now sees most of the house up for eviction due to most people getting at least one nomination. I would be happy for Jamie or Nicole to leave, as they both irritate me and bring nothing to the house, but whatever happens, Kim has to stay put, as she is TV GOLD. She's keeping those chicken livered sh*ts in check, and is providing just the right amount of drama.

Who do you think will go?

Celebrity Big Brother - 4 Out, 3 In!


Celebrity Big Brother - 4 Out, 3 In!


This week, our housemates have been all over the place, with 2 walkers, 2 evicted, and 3 new arrivals. Nevertheless, there has still been plenty of drama this week, as Austin, Angie and Jedward begin to grate on our housemates. 

Get some shut eye, yeah?
Image from Radiotimes

Our first departure of the week was Ray J, who after hibernating for about 2 days decided it was time for his departure, after the "Land Of Nod" task required housemates to actually stay awake during the day, an easy feat for some, but a step too far for Ray J.

Image from Dailymail

Following Ray J to freedom was DJ Brandon Block, who left after he was "not feeling himself". Earlier in the week, he had been taken to hospital to hospital for chest pains, however was given the all clear by medics and sent back into the house, only to leave again a few days later. 


Yesterday, the housemates prayers were answered, and Angie became the first housemate to be evicted, which was great news, as she had began to aggravate her fellow housemates with her constant health advice, and disapproval when anyone ate or did anything that could even have a slight impact on their well being. I don't know about you, but I would be annoyed if someone told me how fat I am whilst I'm snacking on a pack of Mini Cheddars, so I can understand the housemate's frustration. 

The local marching band want their uniform back!
Image for Twitcelebgossip

In a shock twist, Austin also departed the house, after being labelled the dullest housemate by his fellow housemates. Let's be honest, that eviction was SAVAGE, with pretty much no housemates acknowledging Austin's departure, leaving him to sadly wave goodbye to the back of his hell dwelling housemates alone.

Working the "I am crying on the inside" look.
Image from Radiotimes

What's more, Emma completely embarrassed the producers, who after misleading the housemates into evicting Austin unknowingly, in an attempt to rid of the less entertaining housemates, FORGOT to make Austin a "best bits" reel, putting them and their uncalled for eviction to shame.

Think about it though, they needed three beds free for the 3 "Weekend From Hell" housemates, and had that with Ray J, Brandon and Angie leaving. Austin's eviction was unnecessary, and unfair, and i'd be willing to bet a tenner that if the housemates were told the dullest housemate would leave, there would have been a totally different outcome.

As I mentioned before, three brand new housemates um, graced the rest of the house with their entrance during the "Weekend From Hell" where the public have voted to send Stacy, James J, Speidi, Jedward (AKA, the entertaining housemates), Coleen and Jasmine to hell, where at least one of them will never return to the main house.

The Hellish Housemates were allowed back into the house for 5 minutes to collect some of the bare essentials, but crisps are essential right? Biscuits? Eggs!? The Hellish housemates cared not, as they were hellbent on destroying the house and consuming as much food as possible in the diary room to living room corridor, creating a hilarious moment of the series.

Anyone for eggs?
Image from Bigbrother247

One thing I will say is that our 3 new housemates, Jessica Cunningham, Chloe Ferry, and Kim Woodburn are definitely bottom of the barrel housemates, with Chloe making a fool of herself within the first day. Usually these kind of housemates make it quite far, with Bear actually winning the series after his quite frankly shameful acts in the house.

Cameras! Look at me! I'm a fool with no self respect!
Image from Diariocatolico

Only time will tell whether Kim, Chloe and Jessica are valuable additions to the house, or whether Big Brother will continue to throw money at people in the hope that something good comes from it.
