Don't like the bloke - loser!!

I have very mixed feelings about this man now, I used to really enjoy him before.....

I really don't know what to think so I'm not saying anything for now.

Was he crying during his entrance?? He clearly thinks all is forgotten and he will come out of this as the star he once was!
I hope not.

How long did he take to actually go in - talk about milking it!!

he did seem halfway decent in his pre-house interview. Although i wonder if the reason he doesn't like loud show offy people is cos he wants everyone to be looking at him?!

I'm willing to base my views on him entirely on what I see in the house as except for the tabloid press I really don't know anything about him.

One little story i did hear from his ex-wife was that he was good mates with Princess Di. Apparently she would phone ahead to say she was coming and that he was to clear the house of everyone ... even his wife!!! and once Di had arrived they would sit in his front room talking about themselves and their troubles!!! ****s!! ... although how true that is obviously I don't know!

My thoughts exactly Rob.
Just should have walked in there.
I think he thinks he's already made his comeback just from that entrance.

I also don't know what to think about him.
Was reading an article about him yesterday saying that the press manipulated alot of things about him, the trial, etc. But again that was only one report.

How long did he take to actually go in - talk about milking it!!

yes that's what I thought too, Rob, in fact those were my very words!

I was also amazed at how the crowd lapped him up too ... they were estatic!

Agree with all comments but I like the bloke.

Don't know truly what has gone on in his private life & don't want to, not my business.

I speak as I find & will decide what I think about him in how he behaves on the show.

I've never been a Barrymore fan - even at the peak of his fame I found him irritating. I thought his pre-show video was totally unfunny and it's sad to think that he thinks the audience cheering was specifically for him when it's just a crowd of people cheering because that's what they do. However, I'm reserving judgement on him for now.

I couldnt believe how long he stood in front of the crowd lapping up the attention. I was pulling my hair out screaming for him to enter the blummin house.


And why did he give everyone who entered the house a dirty look ?

[QUOTE=Bonsai]I couldnt believe how long he stood in front of the crowd lapping up the attention. I was pulling my hair out screaming for him to enter the blummin house.QUOTE]

Blimey, he thought himself the Messiah didn’t he? I cannot stand this man. I really hope the GBP do not take him back into their hearts, he is a thoroughly unpleasant person. The fact that his wife left instructions she did not want him at her funeral speaks for itself. PLEASE don’t let CBBs become a vehicle for this cretin to get back on our screens which is what he wants.

And why did he give everyone who entered the house a dirty look ?

Do you know, we said the same thing.
When the doors openend and someone came in, he just looked up from whatever he was doing, quick glance then back to his task in hand.
Very strange.

I'm reserving judgement on him. The press have scandal on any number of celebrities, but it's the time they chose to release it, and the amount of venom with which they do so which destroy a celebrity's career. The press destroyed Michael Barrymore - it simply wasn't the case that his fans turned against him.

MB had been a huge star for many many years, and when yhou live like that you do lose touch with real life and start to be able to afford to live you life however you chose, that's the plus side of celebrity. But to ahve all that torn away from you must have been an incredible blow to him, and I'll be interested to see just how damaged he really is.

He's probably as total tosser, but we'll see.

I suspect he'll win CBB though.

I thought his pre-show VT was embarrassingly unfunny. That sort of humour is so dated now. I got the impression from something he said when I was watching the livefeed early this morning, that his game plan is to do some sort of directing behind the camera if he ever comes back to the UK. I didn't like the way he made the unkind comment about Pete Burns' toes peeping through his shoes either and was glad when Pete snapped back with a reply, but I can't remember what Pete said now. Pete has said there is only one person in the house that he has taken a dislike to and I bet its him.

How long did he take to actually go in - talk about milking it!!

He milked it until it screamed didnt he? Well, I was screaming anyway.... :glare:

Just how much did they pay that crowd to cheer him into the house? I doubt VERY much that their reaction mirrors that of the general public.

And as catswhiskas says (good to see you back btw), his pre-show VT was almosts as toe curling as his entrance (no pun intended :blush: )

I had mixed emotions about seeing Barrymore going in, he had tears in his eyes and just for a split second i did kinda feel sorry for the guy, but then i thought what about the father of the man who died in Barrymores pool, how must he be feeling, No there was absolutely no excuse for how Barrymore handled the whole sordid thing, and then to run away and move abroad, what a coward.

Just watching the live feed today and tonight's program, there is just something about him that I'm not sure about.
It's the way he looks at everyone, or rather leers at them.
He's got a dodgy right eye anyway, that doesn't open as much as the other, and he just seems to look at everybody with suspicion.

Still not sure on him at all.
But it could well be car crash tv with him. He's either gonna come through this well or really crack up, which is basically why BB got him in there in the first place. I think they must have a camera placed on him 24/7, just to catch any signs.

Christ almighty just how ghastly was he, grizzling, snivelling and yawping on in the diary room tonight???

I hope people still remember that apart from being a Comedian he is also an actor. :glare:

He is SO aware of the cameras.

Oooh you harsh woman you, Pandora.:laugh:
I think he is very aware of the camera's, but I also think he is very sensitive and emotional, wanting praise and acknowledgement all the time.
Or am I being my usual naive self:w00t:

Nope, Im probably being my usual vile, waspish, cynical self here as usual, Andrea lol. However, I just dont believe that this man should (a) be on the programme, (b) have been paid the huge fee he is being paid (c) be given a vehicle with which to try and sidle back onto UK television after doing a runner and leaving the UK under the cloud he did with lots of unanswered questions and (d) sit in an old mans vest snivelling like a prat and milking the "emotional entrance into the house" dry yet AGAIN for all it was worth.

As I said, remember the man is an actor and in my opinion doesnt deserve an ounce of anyones sympathy.

I was warming to him until the episode in the diary room. I was prepared to take him at face value, but turning into an emotional leach on day two makes him look desperate, and I don't think the public will fall for it.

Hey - but he knew who Chantelle was!!!

(or was that acting again?)

I noticed the funny looks he gave everybody too and im a bit surprised that nobody questioned him about it :shocking: . I used to love him when i was a wee girl, but after what happened (allegedly) i just dont feel the same anymore, he gives me the creeps a bit if im honest, and i dont really see what he has to offer in the house :unsure:

........awight!.........










.....sorry chaps.......just couldn't resist.:blush:

I still cant believe he said last night, mid blub, "Ive spent my entire life making other people happy....." Dear god, I bet his late wife was spinning in her grave, all the crapola he put her through in the years they were married !!! :glare:

oh lord! already gone right off Barrymore and i was gonna try so hard to be nice! d'oh!

All that crying in the diary room left me completely cold. Why why why would a grown man cry just cos he got a few applause. Mark my words the old scum bucket is already planning his tv comeback based on that applause he got.

Although as an aside ... it was absolutely staggering that he got that amount of applause and Faria got those boos for shagging FA bosses. Funny old crowd they were!

:cry: .......cwocodiles, cwocodiles, cwocodiles.....

........is this Les Dennis all over again??

I agree about the crowd. I think they'd been told what to do beforehand.

I agree about the crowd. I think they'd been told what to do beforehand.

Having been in that very same crowd (have I mentioned that I was at Victors eviction before?) this just isn't true PJ. They were probably very excited and had been standing there for 3 hours and just wanted to let rip; the first person was going to get the best response before the crowd found its personality which is why they probably put Barrymore in first...if he had gone in last he would have been lynched.

If Faira had gone in first she wouldn't have got any boo's.

If Faira had gone in first she wouldn't have got any boo's.

You were at Victors eviction?:shock: :mellow: :mellow: :laugh:

Actually I agree Cat, half the audience didnt know who the hell he was and were so desperate to cheer, they'd have cheered Saddam Hussein....

**** me barrymore snores.

Did anyone see his convo with Jodie last night?

Begrudgingly I have to say he has gone up in my estimation; I thought he handled it well!

His "German Big brother" performance was about as funny as a dead puppy.

His snoring is enough to wake the dead I would have had a pillow over his face by now. I thought his performance was pretty awful too.

Anyone see him get out of bed and start spying on the girls chatting in the kitchen, then quickly shutting the door, jumping into bed and pretending he was asleep when they walked into the bedroom last night? Creepy.

And is he on sedatives or something? He can barely keep his eyes open when speaking to people and he sounds drunk all the time !

The press destroyed Michael Barrymore - it simply wasn't the case that his fans turned against him.



Did the press plant the dead body in his swimming pool then?:shocking:

I can't stand the bloke but wasn't he found "not guilty"?

No I didn't, what was it about.

Barry Moore turned performer i noticed during this mornings "live". And what do Channel 4 do while he's in full swing?? - why, they focus their cameras on "An audience with Barry Moore", as opposed to the one-time legendary entertainer himself. So, we don't actually see his act - we hear it......but we don't see a sausage, other than the reactions of the audience, which amounted to four at its lowest, five at its peak....complete with much fake-laughter, mostly from the direction of the Bingham-babe......(obviously been in attendance at the Caprice School of Artificial Laughter - or CSCL for short.)

I think the Braussie (British-Aussie) :unsure: has been okay so far. At least he's doing his bit with the entertainment side of things. There was one moment last night/this morning in which he stared directly at "us" with a held, quite sinister look in his eyes, but it's okay as i didn't take it personally......i just gave him a similar look back in return....

And is he on sedatives or something? He can barely keep his eyes open when speaking to people and he sounds drunk all the time !

I thought the same thing Pan. When he is talking to others, he looks like he will nod off any second and his speach is slurred.

Mighty odd if you ask me.

I think it was all the drugs he was taking that has taken there toll
but when you think about it with the exception of George galloway they have all been on the something at one time or another

Did Barrymore put it there then? :shocking:

Did Barrymore put it there then? :shocking:

His involvment was never really explained, he was there but said he went to bed. The victim Stuart Lubbock had been seriously sexually abused, male raped probably. All very nasty, and this man wants to make a comeback as a family entertainer? I cannot abide him and never thought he was funny even in his heydey, the way he used to cruelly mock his audience just to get cheap laughs used to get right up my nostrils.

Did Barrymore put it there then? :shocking:

No idea, but it was his pool and his party, so I'm struggling to see how the press could turn that into a positive headline for his career.......

Tragedy at star's party

The nation's best loved comedian was last night reported to be 'devastated' after a young guest was found dead following a party at his home.

...and so forth.

:kid:

The nation's best loved comedian

Challenge.....

I was pretending to be a Sun journo.

You'll be needing a more lurid headline Fee.... :wink2:

I bow to your superior knowledge of tabloid journalism, Grouch :pimp: .

So, a crime was comitted at MB's house, therefore he is automatically guitly of it,by virtue of being the most famous person there?.....

Is that how it works then?

Well, according to a poll on my local radio website, Barrymore's pretty much won this already...

Who do you think will win Celebrity Big Brother 4?

The results so far...
Michael Barrymore
43%
Dennis Rodman
4%
Faria Alam
7%
Traci Bingham
1%
Preston
10%
Maggot
7%
George Galloway
3%
Jodie Marsh
8%
Pete Burns
3%
Rula Lenska
2%
Chantelle
12%

Although this is the voting public of Norfolk and Suffolk:ninja:

Who and where are these Barrymore fans? Everyone I have spoken to absolutely detests the man!

Oh please lets vote so Barrymore does'nt win!!!!!!!!!!:naughty:

If a dead body, violently and sexually invaded, filled with alchohol and drugs turned up in your pool after your party, you'd be expecting a promotion when you arrived at the office on Monday morning then?

You may not be guilty of anything, but it's hardly a career positive, is it?

But if I were questioned and released without charge, I'd expect to be treated as an innocent person, or should I carry the alleged crimes of others around with me for the rest of eternity.

Of those who "hate" Michael barrymore, I'd be interested to know what it is that they actually hate about him.

Is it okay to be gay? Is it okay to take drugs? Is it okay to get drunk? Is it okay to have a party?

What combination of the above then marks you out as a depraved pervert?

But if I were questioned and released without charge, I'd expect to be treated as an innocent person

And I'd expect you to forever be known as "the violently raped, drugged up, drunk, body in the pool bird"!

It's the way of the world I'm afraid, not the fault of the press this time.

And we should accept that verdict happily? Or, after being hounded out of our country, having our career torn to shreds, wait a decent amount of time and then test the waters of public opinion again in the hope that we might be forgiven for something which we didnt actually do?

Barrymore always has been one of the unfunniest men on telly..... for that alone he should be flogged and deported..... :devil: :w00t:

PS. has he decided whether or not he can swim yet???

I didn't say it was right, just that that's the way it is.


Anyway, there's a difference between "didn't actually do" and didn't actually get caught".


Clearly something happened there, as per the inquest:

Experts at the inquest said the injuries, which included bruising, lacerations and inflammation, may have been caused by a large, hard object and the result of a serious sexual assault.

may have

Well that's good enough for me!! Let's hang the ******* :glare:

... caused by a large, hard object

Maybe he didn't fit the profile? :naughty:

Perhaps it was a severe case of wind.....:glare:

I can't believe I'm defending Barrymore - but

Yes something happened but there is no evidence to say that Michael Barrymore did the "something". He lost his career over it (I never much liked him anyway) and maybe that's where it should stop. There is far too much speculation over things that "might have happened" in this country - why don't people wait for hard evidence before judjing people.

why don't people wait for hard evidence before judjing people.

I'm playing neither judge, not jury Rob, but it's clear from police statements that they feel that the circumstances of this death are questionable to say the least and that their investigations have been hindered by less than helpful party-goers and home owner, some of who clearly must have known what happened.

Anyway, my point is that the reason the public turned against MB wasn't due to a press witch hunt, but due to the fact that amonst other things there was a suspicious and unpleasant death of a young man in his swimming pool.

Yes i agree and he ran away from it instead of being a man and facing the issues.

Yes, Barrymore was found not guilty - maybe due to lack of evidence, maybe because he was just that, not guilty. My gripe was the way he dealt with it, it became all about him, how awful his life had turned out, how he wanted the sympathy - a young man regardless of whether or not Barrymore had anything to do with his suspicious death died in his swimming pool, he had a family, he was someone's son but all Barrymore cared about was how it looked for him. And this was not what the press wrote, this is what was heard from Barrymore during a press conference.

I never much liked him, thought he was way over the top and he came across all nicey, nicey but I think he was very creepy and craved the limelight but only the good limelight.

I am not saying that he shouldn't be in the house, he has I suppose as much right as anyone but it doesn't mean to say that I am not going to like him.

That said, I haven't watched any of the CBB so no idea how he is coming across but I honestly hope that he doesn't win - can you imagine how emotional he will be if he wins!?!:shocking:

Yes, Barrymore was found not guilty - maybe due to lack of evidence, maybe because he was just that, not guilty.

He was never charged with anything Bella.

He was never charged with anything Bella.

Ooops, shows you how much I know! :unsure: :shutup:

Didn't he phone his PR man immediately after finding the body asking what to do (in which he said "leave the country"). I though that given the circumstances it would be wise to phone the police first.

I suppose it's easy to be wise with hindsight Peej, everyone would hope to do the right thing in such a situation but until you are actually slap bang in the middle of it, with all his attendant problems & pressures, who can say what decision you would make.

You can only hope you would do the right thing but would it be the right thing for you or the right thing for the victim? MB has never denied the party or that Stuart Lubbocks demise happened at his house. He states he opened his house to strangers...........he pleads stupidity not guilt. No-one will ever know the truth & unless I'm mistaken, in this country, it's innocent until proven guilty.

Unless your trial is by press of course by which token, leave the country & never darken our doorstep again.

I'm enjoying watching him.

He is severely creeping me out. His eyes are like dead fish eyes and he seems unable to show any real emotion. He doesnt smile, he doesnt look interested in conversation, he just stares blankly .... and occasionally he blubs like a baby.

I find his appearance more freaky than Petes .... and i really hate looking at him.

Me too, you just never know what he is really thinking.

... he was always a mediocre entertainer and not very funny even when he thought he was, he so obviously based his "stressy" persona "awight, are you awight" and the stupid goosestepping on John Cleese ... (but never had the style or wit to pull it off)

I never liked him.

and how stupid were the rules on his game show "top middle or bottom" I reckon Barrymore would go for "Bottom" everytime!! (purile I know! but it's made me laugh ... which is more than he ever did!) anyway the game show was twenty minutes of Barrymore being vile and patronising to the guests and 10 minutes of walking along a ledge ... no skill involved at all, much like Barrymore's act!

Could someone please please tell me what the frig he is on about whilst he is supposed to be friggin nominating.........:wallbash: :wallbash:

he's made me laugh the most so far! that nomination dribbling was so funny, I laughed out loud several times!

the man is a completely self obsessed ****.

But WHAT was he going on about? I couldn't understand him at all..

But WHAT was he going on about? I couldn't understand him at all..

himself dear! himself!

it would be his chosen topic on Celebrity Mastermind!!

He cannot make me laugh at all!
Very sad.
He is either a very very good actor or someone who is past help - i hope for his sake it's the first option.

One thing he did say was quite perceptive though - he said something like it was like Jodie was running towards a wall and not even putting her hands out to save herself.

That about sums her up!

He was a complete p***k tonight. Firstly he grizzled like an idiot and snivelled for an hour (an hour!!!!!!!) in the diary room while nominating and then we saw him trying to put Jodie Marsh right re the "Line of Fame" task.

In the Marsh's favour, his reason for picking on her was petty and despite what he said - he actually WAS bothered about her saying he shouldnt have been first in the Line of Fame, and then wouldnt listen to the reason she gave for why she suggested Traci and Dennis be first ... (her reasoning was actually quite pertinent).

The man is an utter tool. Mr Life and Soul and (as Rula said), Mr "I make the jokes here" in the house, but stick him in the diary room and he becomes utterly incoherent, mumbles so much Im screaming at the telly and generally milks the situation dry.

I hope he bogs off back to New Zealand and fast....

He's went even further down in my estimation after tonight.
Fair enough, what he said to The Marsh made sense but he did not need to be so aggressive about it.
And his blubbering, incoherent little speech in the Diary Room when he was supposed to be nominating was nothing more than tragic. He sounded as though he was drugged up to the eyeballs.

And his blubbering, incoherent little speech in the Diary Room when he was supposed to be nominating was nothing more than tragic. He sounded as though he was drugged up to the eyeballs.

Ohhhhh this wound me up. I couldnt believe that he sat for so long in the Diary Room when the others were waiting to nominate. I mean, how selfish is this man ? And why does he burst into tears at every opportunity. He thinks Jodie is a drama queen and hamming it up for the cameras - but he is the worst !!

I cant stand the man.

I'm beginning to feel the same, Bons. I was quite pleased for him when he got a good reception at the beginning. But how he's got the nerve the preach to anyone about attention-seeking behaviour is beyond me.

I second that, what a complete toss-er he was behaving like that, did you notice how patronizing he was being towards Jodie? now i am no fan of hers but he was telling her to listen and be quiet when he was talking but when Jodie was talking he butted in and interupted her.
I just feel that Barrymore and Pete are bully's.

I didn't see all of last nights just the last bit with Michael, Pete & Jodie & I did think he was very rude albeit he had a point with what he was saying.

It could have been said better or perhaps a better word is gentler

I think Michaelw as honestly trying to give Jodie advice, and jeez, I'd have slapped the stupid tart in the face long before that.

MB's been in the business for a very long time and has experience the best and worst that celebrity can bring. Whether or not you like his particular skills, he was a very successful entertainer and his point about not slagging off anyone else in the business is totally true. It's a small closed world, and in all the bad press that he received, I never heard another celeb criticise him.

Jodie Marsh has absolutely no talent and no public appeal; the only reason she ever gets in the papers is because she dresses like an old slapper and shouts her mouth off. I can't really see anyone offering her work with an attitude like that.

OMG!!! What planet is this man on???
After BB please God don't let him land on planet earth.
I could not stand our TV's to be taken over.
Why are he and George reffering to Chantelle as a little girl who needs saving?
I think his behaviour is really creepy.

what is it with everyone in the house (well George) wanting Michael to win? It's the only time Michael is quiet is when someone else is giving him screen time by talking about him, other times he is rambling incoherrently or crying or telling jokes that would be beneath your average ten year old ...

He is obviously quite ill and needs help wtf has he gone live on national tv to have his next breakdown? he could have stayed in new zealand and had it and spared us all! ... on the other hand I'm quite enjoying watching it!

The man has no real sense of remorse over anything he is just a self pitying fool.

and all that sitting on the plastic chairs with his "henchman" next to him plotting what they were going to do to bring Jodie down to the blubbering self pitying mess he is. She is a manipulate hard faced cow but she sure aint on her own in that in there!

"I think....tha wher aw in nee uf a lil expohure.....tha wha wher ear....hiiuf iytu newwh cameras an yert guope Tracy an whassisname......yerf hor buh whe she put on tha and the cameras kead brriy an he wen to tha an can oieer peur.....and i was VEWY VEWY DWUNK!"

....and did anybody else notice him stashing those chocolates away for his late-night feast as he tucked himself into bed?? - if you didn't see him chomping then you must have heard it! - I'm now thinking that "Puker Preston" didn't complete that task after all, and that Mr Barrymore the squirrel half-inched one or two of those chocs and went off to store them away under his matress......i think someone ought to go and offer him some advice......

and all that sitting on the plastic chairs with his "henchman" next to him plotting what they were going to do to bring Jodie down to the blubbering self pitying mess he is. She is a manipulate hard faced cow but she sure aint on her own in that in there!

It's a bit like calling the pot calling the kettle black isn't it? I cannot and never will be able to stand Michael Barrymore. Never liked him before and I have only caught snippets of the CBB and it proves to be that the man is very clearly unstable and is therefore in no position to be handing out "advice" when he is so deranged!

And by crying and weeping to Pete & George just smacks of self-pity and manipulation against Jodie - they are grown men for God's sakes and despite Jodie being a pain in the butt, they are bullies fair & square!

I agree with Bella, Pete ,George and Barrymore are showing their true colours, they are behaving like playground Bully's.

....and did anybody else notice him stashing those chocolates away for his late-night feast as he tucked himself into bed?? - if you didn't see him chomping then you must have heard it!

I noticed this and he went straight to sleep without cleaning his teeth afterwards! Is it me or does he have a slight speech impediment? He sometimes speaks as if he doesn't have any bottom teeth - must be all those late night feasts.

doesn't have any bottom teeth - must be all those late night feasts.

I would like to punch out his teeth. Horrible horrible man.

Why does he keep f***ing MUMBLING!?

He's getting rather paranoid now isn't he, thinking that Jodie will go the papers over he has bullied her. He's a nasty piece of work.
I hope she does. It's all he deserves.

it's just another way of making Jodie's exit about HIM!

him and Pete in the kitchen tonight discussing Jodie looked like a couple of sad hasbeen queens (art imitating life!) they even seemed annoyed at the fact that she hadn't been annoying them today!

saddos both of 'em and spiteful too.

I saw this on the live feed last night and it was only for a few minutes that they bitched about her. The rest of the time they talked generally about other things and Michael mumbled incoherently most of the time anyway. Its down to the editing on what the producers want us to see. I do agree though that they use every opportunity to turn the conversation back to discussing her. Michael is right - she will sell her story to the highest bidder of the awful time she had in the house and make a lot of money in the process and she will have the last laugh.

Very true.

I loathe his annoying mumbling though. It gets progressively worse throughout the day.

And what was that all about with his task tonight??? The smashing the eggs on the head made Galloway laugh out loud but Barrymore was acting as if Big Brother had asked him to do a tour of Iraq !!! He never cracked his face, had weird staring eyes and seemed to find it "stressful" which of course it was anything bloody but !

I couldn't quite work out his deadpan expression either. Was that his way of making it funny or was he thinking what an earth am I doing?

Same here, I couldnt work it out. I mean, it WASNT funny in the least but then thats Barrymore for you....

I saw all that egg smashing on the live feed yesterday, and his face was strange.
It was the face of a man who thought something else was gonna happen.

Yeh, Michael, the men in white coats are coming.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, it's just hit me, his face was like that because it reminded him of being in rehab.:w00t:

If you watch it closely you can see that MB started to larf each time an egg smashed, but quickly stopped himself and did the deadpan thing instead.

I thought it was hilarious. Oh how I larfed :pimp:

I really wish Michael would go and live in New Zealand permanantly.:wink_kiss

Just been watching Richard + Judy and apparently in the show we will see tonight Michael goes absolutely mad and loses the plot with Jodie alogether. Richard has just said the scenes we will see tonight are quite ugly :shocking:

Watched that too Hazel, it said that it makes Vanessa's outburst look really tame! He'll never last until next week, get those men with the white coats in there now!!:shocking:

I don't think I've ever witnessed such an awful display of bullying and harranging and attention seeking as Barrymore tonight, when he "attacked" Jodie in the bedroom about the quorn.

can someone please explain to me at which point did he have a valid argument?! which bit made sense to anyone?

He is so so so so so so so so so horrible! kill him!

...and wasn't it wonderful the way the others came in to stop him - they were all quick enough to jump in whenever Jodie kicked off.:glare:

...and wasn't it wonderful the way the others came in to stop him - they were all quick enough to jump in whenever Jodie kicked off.:glare:

well quite! how someone didn't punch his lights out is beyond me!

He is a bully of the highest degree and every step of the way he is getting validation from the likes of Galloway, Burns and Lenska. All they do is reinforce his bad behaviour by letting it happen.

At no point did he have a valid argument - only possibly with the voices in his head - the man is totally deranged......mad and bad......

I like him so there :pimp: . There's a place for loonies in my world.

I am sooooo not surprised by this.:kid:

love loonies .... hate tossers!

I guess if you hate someone you'll never see the good in them and likewise, if you like them, it's hard to see their faults.

MB is certainly damaged goods, but I can see where he's coming from - he's got an awful lot riding on this.

I'm really not liking this man.
He seems to go off on one for any little reason.
But one thing I've noticed watching the live feed, during the day he's lovely and chatty and entertaining (if you can call it that) but then later in the day it all goes wrong and the outbursts start.
I wonder if he is on some kind of medication and towards the end of the day the effects of the medication are wearing off.

Oh dear! He ended up with egg on his face in more ways than one eh? What a prat! How on earth did this eejit pass the medical to get in there? He is so obvioulsy insane...............ooops, maybe that is one of the qualities you need to possess to gain entry!

Talk about making a mountain out of molehill...........but hey, they have a roof over their heads and food in the cupboards so who cares?! :w00t:

Andrea thats very odd, because I wondered the very same thing !!! His speech seems to deteriorate too, the later in the day it gets.

Still at least with Jimmy Saville joining the merry little band, Barrymore will have a rival for his loopy la la crown....

As for the ludicrous ranting and raving at Jodie Marsh in the bedroom.

Instead of sitting on the bed like a muppet and taking it, she should have got up, gone into the toilet and have had a nice long pee until the silly old windbag ran out of steam.

He was about as scary as my big toe. The man is pathetic.

Even if all the other housemates are sick to flaming death of him and his whining and bullying, do you think they would have the courage to nominate him?

He is, as everyone has said, a man on the edge and I think even the likes of Rula and George, whilst being friendly to his face, are as fed up as everyone with his emotional outbursts but I'm sure they would hold back from nominating him for fear of the effect it would have on his already unstable state of mind.

I wonder how he would cope with the rejection?

Barrymore was completely in the wrong last night over the veggie stuff. Although I imagine his rant was pre-medication and the subsequent hug with Jodie post medication. The man clearly needs help and should not be in there. All hopes of reviving his career, if that's what this is about, are surely gone. I think Jodie should be commended for not telling him to '****** off'.

I agree with Maxine - it was the first time that I felt sorry for her - there was no need for him to shout "shut up" in her face the way he did - I think she was making a perfectly reasonable request - in a sensible way.

Christ that man was SO SO out of order. The way he said to Chantalle "Im not having a go at you darling" - no because he would have ostrased his fellow housemates if he did, Jodie was such an easy target for him, the way he was screaming at her she would have been totally in the right to have decked him. I dont believe this man is mad, he is a thoroughly nasty nasty piece of work.

I don't believe Barrymore is mad, or bad. I think he is simply ******* ud up from to much booze, drugs, psychiatric counselling and an inability to accept his career is over.

Jodie was much 'nearer the edge' than he is. Early on I saw a conversation between the two of them where thought he was genuinely trying to help her, and I thought at the time he handled it well. However, his subsequent behaviour showed no empathy whatsoever.

Then, blow me, if he didn't start on the same 'caring' tack when alone with Faria last night! (Having spent the previous hour in conversation with her, maggot and Pete about how he had tried to help Jodie). It was along the lines of Faria saying she was still angry with the 'friends' who sold out to the press, and Barrymore pushing her by saying that she hadn't dealt with the anger; she had to deal with the anger or it would destroy her. Him asking why she was doing BB; her saying so people could see what she was really like; him saying what she was really doing it for was so she could accept herself etc etc and more slurred psycho-babble.

I think he's an Emotionally Transmitted Disease. And I think George is manipulating this quite skilfully as Barrymore also said George had told him he was worried that poor sweet Chantelle would fall prey to the press and through lack of experience might innocently give some secrets away about the HMs, inferring they needed to be careful around her. B@stard!

Larf! Emotionally Transmitted Disease...very good you scottish lady you.

However I see nothing wrong in George warning the house mates to be carefull, I think he has made a valid point.

But he hasn't warned the housemates Cat - he's planted it with Barrymore!

That's what Galloway does - acts in a way that leaves him blameless. The man's a devious rat.

I don't believe Barrymore is mad, or bad. I think he is simply ******* ud up
I think Barrymore is mad, bad and ******* up.
I never really liked him that much when he was at the height of his career but now I don't think I've loathed anyone quite as much as I loathe him at this point.
I can't see one redeeming quality in his character whatsoever. He is manipulative, nasty, aggressive, unfunny and worst of all a bully through and through. He only picks on those who are vulnerable and who he thinks are weaker than him ie. Jodie. No way would he talk to Dennis or George like that. But that's the way bullies work isn't it.
I only wish I'd seen him shout at Jodie last night but from what I've heard it was just another unneccesary, unprecedented attack.
I can only hope that he doesn't get the same reception when he leaves the house, as he didn't entering it. I want to hear a chorus of boos and hisses and possibly see some missiles flying right at him. Because judging from his appalling behaviour in the house, this is all he deserves.
What a f***ing w.anker!

But he hasn't warned the housemates Cat - he's planted it with Barrymore!

How do you know he's 'planted it' Fee and that he's not going to say the same thing to others. I think you are reading things to deeply, this smells of Steve Brookstein all over again and its getting you in a right tizzy.

I suggest you go out and sniff some young shelf packers tonight.

Love you.
x

this smells of Steve Brookstein all over again

..and I was right about him! :laugh:

..and I was right about him! :laugh:

I dont' know...you never did tell me what it was even though you promised to in Ireland...too busy sniffing I suppose.

He looked delighted when all the others were partaking in a bit of Jodie-bashing didn't he? And even more so when she had been evicted, the silly d.ickhead.
As for tonight's installment of "comedy" routines - again, they failed to even raise a smile from me.
Even though he was hardly featured tonight he still annoyed me greatly and further reinforced the fact that the difference between Michael Barrymore and a bucket of s.hite, is the bucket!

Oh god Peej, I so want either him or Dennis out next. Barrymore is just SO unfunny, SUCH and arsehole and totally unhinged. Get him out nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!

I am with Fee on this one George is very manipulative, loads the gun for others to fire. I think he is a loathsome creepy little man.

I can't stand Barrymore either but he at least has the excuse of not being in his right mind or else he's a better actor than I give him credit for.

thank god i am not the only one who thinks barrymore was out of order, he is nasty nasty nasty creepy old man. i just thought it was sooo low how he will listen to chantelle coz she's his little princess who needs his expert advice and nurturing but as soon as jodie tries to say anything he tells her to shut up. and the whole dog and jump thing was disgusting, no human should ever have that done to them, how condescending and patronising. and i have to give jodie credit for not punching him right there and then, when he was so close to her face and telling her to jump, that's just low. if anyone did that to me, i would see red and give em a right slap regardless of whether i would be staying or going.

I thought his pouncing on Jodie the other day was just hideous.
She couldn't win poor girl, better that she's out of there.
He lost the plot completely dacning round the room telling her she'd got all the attention.
Was a bit like watching an hysterical child. I wanted someone to pour a bucket of ice cold water on him

He was like a man possessed wasn't he? It was the way he ranted & raved and then when Jodie tried to defend herself he kept telling her to shutup and not to talk to him.

It really was bizarre behaviour. I think it proves that his wacky behaviour pre the swimming pool thingy was just a cover of how unstable he really was.

A bit of tension between best buddies George and Michael tonight then, over the cigar incident. :laugh:

Didn't George look like a right nasty peice of work then though? His eyes were wlll dodgy. I wouldnt like to take him on in a fight.:boxing:

Yeh, looks like Georgie boy is having second thoughts about sucking up to MB.

Now if that had been Jodie who had picked holes what he was saying do we think Bullymoore would have sat nice a quiet like a scared little boy.
Not nice being on the receiving end of unreasonable behaviour from a defensive bully is it?
I think George was in a bit of a dangerous mood tonight!

Yes, the mask really slipped over that incident. There may be trouble ahead.. la la la la ... :laugh:

If the whole point of Barrymore appearing on this show is to somehow ressurect his career... then its a total waste of time... and I say that regardless of the "incident" that sent him scurrying to New Zealand. There was a very good programme on in the last week or so about the demise of the Sit Com, Victoria Wood's Dinner Ladies being probably the last successful sitcom. It is simply a sign of the times.. and times move on. From the sitcom view point, its shows like The Office and The Royale Family that created new cutting edge comedy that rendered the canned laughter comedy situations obselete. Its the exact same thing for the saturday night entertainers of the past. Barrymore's style of entertainment show and comedy had its place...some ten to twenty years ago... today.. he is out of fashion... a mumbler in his mid fifties who could join the likes of Les Dennis on the career scrapheap. Sad but true !

ooooh I wonder if Ricky Gervais is going to use Barrymore in the next series of "Extras" ... that really would be cutting edge stuff wouldn't it. Sadly I don't think MB has the kind of irony or wit that would be needed to carry off such a part. ... and I think Gervais would be too scared to write the part!

As for the cigar inicdent ... I for one really didn't know where George was coming from or what his point was. I thought even less (yes it's just about possible to think less) of MB when he didn't even challenge George's unreasonable bullying.

MB when he didn't even challenge George's unreasonable bullying.

Its so much easier to scream and and be nasty to a woman isnt it. I dont think I have detested a participant in any reality show as much as I abhor this creature, I only hope he is up for nomination this week and my finger will be on redial, dont care if I get a phone bill for £200 I want him OUT!!!

I do .... and if he does get nominated and voted out I will be booing with gusto at my TV screen.

Boo him? I would like to pelt him with rotton veg and tip a pot o **** over his head.

You might find this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/4616752.stm) article interesting!

Well George's statement was a little cloak and dagger in the first place, but byyyyyy godddd didnt Barrymore confuse the issue all the more?? :mad2: Dennis Rodman was lying on the floor looking for help from the others who were just looking more and more bemused as Barrymore mumbled, stumbled, wouldnt get the hint and moreover kept going over and over the same ground.

As Floopy said, Ol George's eyes developed a steely glint and he got VERY terse and clipped in his way of speaking at the end. I reckon Galloway could get very rough if he wanted to....

Please let Barrymore be evicted soon. This old has-been's rantings and mumblings are getting more embarrassing by the day.

the longer Barrymore is in there the more he scares me.

Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!! did anyone see him crying again while Jimmy "now then now then" Savile was making their wishes come true???

Its been reported today that Stuart Lubbock's family are going for a private prosecution now that he is back in the country and that the Police are going to serve papers on him while he is in the house or as he leaves (obviously not in front of the cameras).

So, thatll give him something to really cry about eh? :bag:

It was on the BBC teletext tonight so the source is good.

The 'self-employed rights activist' who has jumped on the bandwa - sorry - brought this to the courts, staged some sort of publicity stunt outside the house today, allegedly.

Im sure Barrymore wouldve been better off living in virtual anonymity in New Zealand with one of these -> :bag: over his head.....

Barrymore said the first thing that's made me laugh last night after Jimmy Saville left 'Send in the next nutter'.

Did you see him and Pete doing impressions of Tracey whilst making themselves some brekkie yesterday. The camera kept panning to her sat in bed, but did she see what they were doing ?

I cant believe how immature MB seems to be. It appears that he HAS to have someone to pick on. First it was Jodie and now for the last few days it has been Tracey. Grow up !!!!

Also - why the chuffin hell did he nominate George over the cigar incident :unsure:

Also - why the chuffin hell did he nominate George over the cigar incident :unsure:

Because he is mentally unstable and should be carted off to the funny farm PDQ!!

Also - why the chuffin hell did he nominate George over the cigar incident :unsure:
He STILL doesnt understand that George was actually offering to give up having two cigars a day and cut down to one so that they could barter the rest for cigarettes !!!

What part of that didnt he understand? Instead he has taken his misunderstanding of the situation into the diary room and nominated someone because of it.

What an utter tosspot the man is.

To be honest, and this in no way should be taken as support for Bullymore in any way, shape or form ....

the bit I saw about the cigars was confusing and it seemed to me that George was being deliberately cryptic and confusing about what he was on about.

And yeh the way he said "well it obviously matters to you" to Bullymore was particularly spiteful and confusing. i don't blame Barrymore for voting for him.

Of course I'm willing to bow to knowledge of those who watch footage 24/7 and saw the pre-edited version! :kid: but edited it was a turnaround for George's support of Bullymore.

hmmmm, very clever this one.....very clever indeed......yes.....hmmm......

Every time a "situation" arises with one of the housemates, he uses the problem/issue as a template for associating it with his own "problems". He offers a few wise words independent of his own situation and then off he strays into his self-absorbed "I did nothing whatsoever wrong" (yes, we are all quite aware of that - as if you had done something wrong then you would be in the confines of a jail facility and not those of Celebrities Anonymous, or CBB as some choose to call it) routine, but he somehow manages to tie it in with any incident that happens within the CBB house.

watch him win........then watch those tears form a moat around the CBB compound.....it's what the public are laying in wait for......and there is seemingly nothing we can do to prevent this from happening......nothing!

When a conversation in the house is about someone, and that someone is in the lounge area not joining in, why does Barrymore go over and get them to come and join in.

Then when all the confrontation and arguments start, Barrymore just shuffles away and mumbles that they should all just get on, and all this confrontation is not good.

BARRYMORE YOU PRETTY MUCH INSTIGATE MOST OF IT:wallbash:

Agreed, Andrea.
From what I saw on the live feed last night after the whole punishment fiasco, Barrymore kept making a point of saying "None of this has got anything to do with me so Im leaving the room and not getting involved" and all that s.hite, trying to come across as Mr Nice-Guy. But he then made Tracy and George go and sit with Rula and the others to "discuss" it. He was clearly loving it all.
Michael, sir, you are indeed a s.hit-stirring prick of a man.

Exactly - and then he kept walking past them ... evesdropping to see whether his sh't stirring efforts had worked !!!

What in Gods name was that ruckus about with Dennis Rodman last night??

Yet again Barrymore came across as belligerent and foolish, trying to pick a fight with a bemused Dennis. He kept walking away from Rodman saying, "anyway, Im saying no more about it......" then returning three seconds later saying, ".... but I'll say this..."

Also Ive noticed that whenever there is something going on, trouble of any kind, he is there, hovvering. He uses "tidying up the kitchen" as a way of eavesdropping and/or getting involved.

And why the hell does he keep ducking under the radar and avoiding nominations??????????? :glare:

I've observed this too. Prime example was when Maggot confronted George about nominating him (only to then suck up his ar.se). Barrymore was right there wiping all the units clean - and obviously hanging onto every word that was being said.

Oooh yes he was wasnt he? Mr P was pointing at the telly saying, "Look, look! he's there again !!!!"

Gosh, dont we get involved and worked up? :blush:

I have tried so hard to find some redeeming feature about this man and I am now able to report that..






















I CAN'T
There is just nothing about him that would make me want to spend more than two seconds in his company and those would be spent making an excuse to get away....

Just found this :- Either Preston is a very nice lad or playing a very canny game by appearing to be the good guy and acting all concerned. Either way, Barrymores mental health does seem to breaking down all the more.....
Preston concerned for Michael's mental health

Preston has told Big Brother he is worried about Michael's mental health.

After returning from the diary room, he revealed to Chantelle, George and Rula that he had told Big Brother of his concern that Michael was becoming obsessive-compulsive. "I told Big Brother about the way he was reacting," he said.

Rula proceeded to remind the group of his need for "everything to be in rows," including door handles, chairs and bins. Chantelle wondered whether this was just Michael being practical, but Rula disagreed.

She explained: "There's a difference between practical and obsessive. That's his way now. He's up all the time now, doesn't sleep more than two hours at a stretch. I find eye contact difficult with him now."

Aww, bless Chantelle thinking Michael was being practical.:laugh:

Aww, bless Chantelle thinking Michael was being practical.:laugh:

Preston will have just added you to the list of "people who make fun of Chantelle for not being bright", Andrea ... mark my words ... he's on his second sheet of A4 now!

Yep very true, he is Chantelle's unofficial protector.

Samuel "concerned for the welfare of his fellow man" Preston has this show in the bag because he has played it canny and been Mr Nice Guy...

but we can see him for the slimy weasel of a man he is can't we? and those ill-fitting suits he wears! really!

but we can see him for the slimy weasel of a man he is can't we? and those ill-fitting suits he wears! really!

LOL.....

Actually one thing I find strange about Preston is that sometimes, in the right light, he is almost handsome. Then we get a close up and he has weasly boss eyes, horrible stained teeth and a weedy body. Yet everyone I speak to thinks he is hot.... :unsure:

I saw a bit of Rula's interview today and she said something like Barrymore will never be nominated because the public trust him now. then davina asked the audience if this was true and a loud, collective "NOOOO!" was heard. I'm very happy about that :)

Ooooh Bullymore picked on the wrong person to try and outshout tonight didnt he? He got well and truly burned by Dennis :wink2: .................. and what was with Bullymore's right eye squint during the ruck???? :unsure:

As for the manic cleaning, scrubbing, chopping, preparing, cleaning again, arranging of furniture, scrubbing, washing up etc........ the other housemates are right - he is getting way too obsessive !!!

On the live feed last night, Dennis (who admits he cant cook), washed the dishes. Barrymore, two hours later, on his own in the kitchen while everyone was sleeping, re-washed everything!

It hit me tonight who Barrymore reminds me off.
All that business with the ciggies tonight, he is showing all the classic symptoms of a psych patient on a psych ward. (I know, I know, a bit of a sweeping statement, but what the hell)
Get the ciggies, get your stash, and go and hide them, check for a hundred times that you have some matches, have to shake them and throw them on the bed mind.

Ciggies are the only thing that a psych patient can control, and he is doing exactly the same thing, becoming obsessive about the one and only thing he can get some power with.

What exactly happened at the end with the ciggies? I wasn't really watching it. Did he steal some fags then stash them in his case?

No, having made all the fuss with Dennis about distributing the fags, he distributed them and the cigars and then went and put them with the rest of his stash in the bedroom. Quite worrying, actually.

Nah, PJ, he just got his share, and actually Maggot gave Barrymore his, and off he trotted to stash them away in his drawer.

But Dennis Rodman watched in awe, and basically said Barrymore was doing exactly what he'd told Rodman not to do last night, ie. stashing them away instead of putting them on the table for all to share.

Ah, I see. What a cock.

don't get me wrong Im not weakening in my dislike of Barrymore, but the man is obviously going through some kind of mental crisis. It is worrying that for the purposes of "entertainment" and "contractual obligation" that he is being kept in there. I'd like to know were these people assessed by anyone before they went in?

Didn't we see Dennis thingy go down hill when he was on too ... didn't he deteriorate in front of us too? what is it with middle aged has been middle of the road comics and their desparation?

The man is obviously mentally unstable and for that he has my sympathy.

The guy's clearly a manic-depressive. Trust me, I lived with one for over ten years. His tone, his behaviour, his moods... all disturbingly familiar. Paranoia, obsessive cleaning, bad sleep pattern, pressure of speech, severe argumentativeness, extreme ups and downs- it's all there.

Unless he receives some help very, very soon, I have an uncomfortable feeling that he won't live to see the end of the year.

I missed a few episodes so was quite confused as it seemed the sides have switched, Barrymore is'nt bothering so much with Pete, Bullymore why is that what have i missed?

What worried me is that Barrymore loved the cheers when he walked into the house. He thrived on it, and wouldnt stop talking about his wonderful reception for days.

But when he leaves, i think he will get boo'd - and how will that effect him ?

Do we really care? This man is one nasty piece of work and deserves all he gets. Does he really think that at his age and with the humour of more than a decade ago he will really make a comeback? He is also unbeknowst to him going to be served the papers for the civil suit.

I think chef Barrymore is pushing his luck. I really do. But for the presence of sixteen-thousand cameras strategically positioned around the Big Brother house and annexes, I'm fairly certain Barrymore would be horizontal and listening to the twittering of birds - much the same as what we have to do when CH4 goes into censorship mode. Dennis is showing some kind of restraint but it's quite obviously a precarious restraint at best - I liken the situation to Mount St. Helens. They all knew it would blow, but like those foolish ones who stayed to watch the spectacle, Barrymore himself is refusing to budge as Mount St. Rodman threatens to explode with great fury.

I mean, if CBB enforced a "three cries and your out" policy, Barrymore would have walked on Day 2 (deer two - in Geordie)- what on earth is he doing winding this fella up the wrong way?, Much ado about nothing as well......fool!

Please don't kill him Dennis - it may harm your chances of winning...

Do we really care?.

Actually you are totally right ... i dont care :pimp:

Actually you are totally right ... i dont care :pimp:


Ah good for you Bonnie, I was getting worried about you worrying about Barrymore! :shocking:

This man deserves no pity, he only has himself to blame when he gets booed when he gets given the boot.

He should have stayed in exile, I just hope he is prepared that he going to have to return to whatever rock he crawled under as the GBP do NOT want him back on our TV screens.

I couldnt care less how it affects him. Nobody forced him into taking part, he did it for the money, pure and simple.

I do have this vision of him though after being evicted, standing at the top of the stairs taking his bows whilst wearing yellow marigold gloves and waving a washing up brush ! :wacko:

Actually Dennis Rodman got it in one last night when he said that Barrymore, by making the kitchen his domain and basically being in it morning, noon and night, was ensuring he had "the stage" as the kitchen is actually the focal point of the house.

Beneath that grunting, testosteroned exterior is a rather astute fellow, in Dennis sometimes.

When is flipping Blubbermore going to be up for eviction. I cannot believe he is the only one not up so far (apart from Preston).

People can be so fickle can't they? they cheered him going in and may boo him going out !!!!!!!!! life sucks sometimes.:blink:

Nope, I will not feel sorry for him one bit and don't give a shiny s.hite how it effects him when he's booed (please Lord, let him get booed). As others have said, he took part in this out of his own free will and if you're going to act like a bullying prick, then you have to be able to handle the consequences, which in his case, I hope, will mean f.ucking off back to New Zealand.

Shall we have a whipround and get him a ticket back to New Zealand...shall we??

Shall we have a whipround and get him a ticket back to New Zealand...shall we??

Hell no - he can pay for his own ticket out of that whopping great fee he's getting!

Hell no - he can pay for his own ticket out of that whopping great fee he's getting!
You are quite right...b o l l o c k s to him, let him pay his own.

Well, tonight's programme isn't finished yet and I am prepared to eat these words, but ......... I don't know if I can ........ yes, yes I must.

Michael was magnificent this evening. Apart from two slight hiccups about "jumping in lakes" and "I, like I have throughout this programme, will keep my opinions to myself", he was quite marvellous.

There. I've said it.

Ditto.
Nil points to Mr Gorgeous (i stand up for the underdogs) Galloway for attacking the weak!

Yup - I thought Michael did well tonight - articulate throughout - and he didn't let himself be browbeaten.

He's also stopped mumbling and slurring his speech!!

It was quite fascinating watching him redeem himself slightly by tonights lucid and honest confrontation.

I kept thinking DON'T CRY MICHAEL! and you know what he didn't cry! bless him.

Yeh the boy done well ... and then he over egged it at the end didn't he! ah well!

George said he wanted to help Michael and tonight he did.

Profoundly true and truly profound, my friend.

Phew! I thought I was going to be the only one to applaud Michael tonight.

The thing is George Galloway is so far up his own backside he will be unable to see that he actually done Michael a favour tonight! What a prize prat he was! George that is!

He always has to overstate it though and make it more about him than anyone else. That said at least he stood up to GG that odious little toad.

Yes, his final little speech was OTT, but at least he didn't crumble into a snivelling wreck in the garden this time. And, even if it weren't the case on the live feed, he appeared to have the final word which will also help his cause.

Good on ya Bazza. That was an admirable thing you did in there............















...........so why did you have to come back in to the room and spoil it all?? :wallbash:

I heaved a sigh of releif when after his closing speach he said "The end"
it wasn't a bad closing speach, but it was in danger of going on too long.
I thought it was great he stood up to George but shuddered when he was talking about bullying young kids (ie Charlotte and Preston) becasue I will never forget the way he bullied Jodie

OMG I really did think at that point he was going to say swimming pool but checked himself just in time- phew!

How so? The cameras are everywhere.
I think he just needs to keep busy, and he's obvioulsy a good cook or else they wouldn't keep eating it.

Oh dear. What a show. Well, I have to say I am very upset - because I was actually on Michael Barrymore's side tonight. Yes it's true. I never thought it could happen and feel slightly violated but there you go.
He held his argument with George well and it was George who came out of it looking truly despicable.
But - ah, yes, there always has to be a 'but' - Barrymore's little speech at the end, what with the "I've had every insult thrown at me" and "You can't make me lower than I've already been", screamed of self-pity which simply undid a bit of his hard-work, imo.
So, basically, what I'm saying is that Barrymore is still a tosser but George is an even bigger one.

Yeah, Barrymore went up slightly in my estimation last night. It was so true what he was saying about how pathetically they were all behaving. Thank goodness they are though!

But agree with your last sentence there, PJ!

At least Barrymore had the guts to stand up to George, and in my opinion Barrymore won the arguement, making George look like the prat he is.

Well said Peej.
Barrymore is still an utter cockk in my opinion but I have to admit that he did well when Galloway attacked him.

He won the argument with conviction and did himself a few favours along the way and nasty old George none.

As you say though, after being called self obsessed and then denying it, what a pity that Barrymore had to spoil it by making a fifteen minute speech (mercifully cut down to 5 minutes in the highlights), which contained the words "I" and "Me" more times than Ive had hot dinners....

Glad he won the argument though and made Galloway look rather silly, to boot. :wink2:

Have to ask - what was the thing with Barrymore being a Frenchman all about? It was all very cringeworthy with him shouting "onuns" and then doing the stuff with arm - very strange indeed!

They all got a present as well as the luxury budget for winning the task.

Barrymore got a mime artist costume which he was only too willing to put on and prance around. Shame he hadn't grasped the concept that mime is silent :angry:

You see this is the quandry of the man. He goes from being an articulate able 50 something man, who can argue his corner and come out looking sane, intelligent and collected....and then he makes himself look like a complete p r i c k...all in the space of one night.

actually if i had to say what my faults were ... if i HAD to say ... i would say that I pitch a point just perfectly and then ... completely over egg it and lose all the respect I'd gained in the first five minutes!

What in gods name was he chombling tonight? Kids sweets? He never stopped stuffing his face with them !!

C'mon though, BB gave him that costume exactly for that reason. What the hell else was he supposed to do with it? You give a performer a costume then not expect him to perform? :wacko:

Well they gave Preston a guitar and he did **** all with it. :nerd:

No, Floops (although he didn't have to overact the way he did) but my point was the bit which you cut out of the quote - that mime is silent, but he was shouting out "onuns" and flapping about like a d i c k head, as pointed out by Bella.

Critique you made me spit my flippin tea out with laughter!

This just gave Barmymore another chance to play to the camera and show his public just what a great entertainer he is.

I did snigger a bit when Barrymore was acting out his routine with the Frenchmans outfit, it was like watching someone from a mental home act out.:unsure:

He was performing?? I thought he was having some sort of fit... :unsure:

He seemed to be really enjoying himself during the moviemaking (i'm going to attempt to spell it......) shinannigins. Good for him. I'd sooner see him in that mode than tearjerker mode.

That said, i cast my mind back to post-argument the other day - the one that caused the divisions. Barrymore had just had a big row with George and Dennis, yet there he was moments later dressed in a black-and-white hooped costume and all the other garb, trying to entertain, giving it "ONIONS!.....ONIONS!..............onions!.....". I think George and Dennis were the only ones present in the room with him and yet they were paying Barrymore scant attention, if none whatsoever. It was the last thing i would have expected the chef to be doing and yet he still seemed to be expecting the full attention of the very people he'd just pi**ed off to the max.

I was shouting at the tv screen...."NOOOOOOOO!, you don't wanna be doin' thaaaat!".

Isnt it funny how we all read situations differently.........:wink2:

Mr I and myself were ROLLING laughing at Barrymore doing all that with only George and Dennis in the room, George (the Commie b*****d) reading his Manifesto (for ideas no doubt - it made us ROAR when he got that as a pressie too......) and Dennis looking shifty as usual.......and in our opinion Barrymore was doing it deliberately - WINDING THEM UP!!!!!!! :laugh:

You know, i never even looked at it that way. So yes, i guess you are right on that note.

If i had seen it the same way you had i wouldn't have cringed so much and instead, like yourself, i'd have laughed my ass off. I think you may be right - it probably was a wind up. I have it on tape somewhere so i'll look over that one again.

Check this out, its an article by Sue Carroll of the Daily Mirror and pulls absolutely NO punches.

Have to agree with her on one or two points, especially the bit where she queries how a "broken man" constantly snivelling, talking in a slurred voice and seemingly lost and pathetic can suddenly change into an all singing, all dancing, laughing, joking, full of beans, normal man??:bored:

Here it is :-

DON'T LET BARRYMORE'S CYNICAL STUNT FOOL YOU

It'S hard to imagine a more nauseating sight than the sickly smile on Michael Barrymore's face when told he was runner-up in Celebrity Big Brother.

Who could fail to notice the astonished expressions of his fellow housemates when the man who had told them repeatedly: "It's only a game", emerged like the second Messiah to greet his people?

In an instant the shuffling, weepy, frail and incoherent comedian they'd lived with for three weeks was transformed into the jubilant hero. Anything but. Barrymore is a control freak and master of manipulation who sucks in the weak and vulnerable. His ability to convince other celebrities he was the victim of a witchhunt orchestrated by a wicked Press wasn't just clever, it was successful.
Artfully he managed to stay in enough camps to avoid nomination. It was his first masterstroke. The second was to draw the father of Stuart Lubbock, the 23-year-old meatpacker found dead in his swimming pool five years ago, into his vigorous PR campaign.

At the weekend they had a "private" meeting set up by one of the newspapers he claims to hate. It turned out to be about as private as a poolside chat with Pete Burns. "I've wanted to meet you for a long time," Barrymore told Terry Lubbock as they posed for pictures

Funny that. In the past he refused every opportunity - and there were many - to talk to him. Ditto Claire Wicks, the mother of' Stuart's children, who was told after requesting a meeting: "Mr Barrymore doesn't know if he'll be in touch. He may get back to you."
If Stuart's dad is today scratching his head and wondering why he allowed himself to be a pawn in Barrymore's game, he only has himself to blame.


What did he hope to achieve from a heart-to-heart with the man who deliberately stymied
