The (Last) Big Brother Live Blog!

7:45 pm

 

7.45  The end is nigh! After 93 gruelling days the Big Brother juggernaut finally reaches its destination. But who of the remaining housemates will win? Our bet’s on Rachel…

8.00 Well, there’s a hearty bunch of lunatics crowd out braving the awful weather, it’s obviously not raining on their Big Brother finale parade then (much). Ooh Rex doesn’t seem popular judging by the chanting… we can’t think why.

8.07 Oh no they’re getting all the evicted housemates out for their 5 minutes of fame… by the sounds of it they are about as popular as Rex. Here’s Luke. Davina asks him whether he and Bex are really going out? Yeah, right. Long as the Heat magazine spreads keep coming… oh here’s Lisa. We love Lisa. It’s a travesty she got voted out. She needs to dump Mario though. And Mario needs to dump the sunbed.

8.10 Back to the ‘Famous Five’ then… Sara you do not fancy Darnell, get a grip. Stop torturing the poor boy for more screen-miles.  Jeez, Mikey’s monotone is so annoying. It’s even testing the patience-of-a-saint Rachel. Stop talking Mikey, you’re sucking the life from us! OK, now Rex is making a toast at the Last Supper. It’s quite sweet. Do we forgive him his bullying ways? Oh-oh Mikey’s making a speech now. Make it end! Darnell’s speech by far proves he is the most genuine person in the godforsaken place.

8.17 Rex is throwing his toys out his pram again. Not enough booze apparently. Will someone please just give the smug moron a slap? Where is he an ‘executive chef’ for again? KFC?  Big Bro is playing music – everyone’s dancing but Rex. Oh no – a Whitney Houston power ballad’s just come on. The girls are giving it their best… possibly with a fledging pop music career in mind. Nooo! It’s already raining girls; we don’t want a monsoon.

8.20: Ok back to tonight. This is more like it. Who is going first?? Darnell!  Oh no! Not Rex? How can this be?! At least they’re not boo-ing him.

8.30 Davina’s interviewing Darnell, showing him his ‘best of’ clips.  He was a bit miserable in the house wasn’t he? He’s happy now though, getting the love from the crowd. That’s right Darnell! Forget Sara. She no good for you. Oh, there’s Stu. Still wearing his man make-up, we see. Who’s a pretty boy, then?

8.40 Ok – who’s next? REX! Yee-ha! Get the ginger terrorist out of there! oh-oh – he’s getting no love from the crowd. No Rex, you deluded egomaniac: those are boos not cheers. He doesn’t seem to notice, he’s too busy basking in his own self-congratulatory drool. Davina is interviewing Rex now. Perhaps she should ask him why his parents named him after the family dog? Rex is unrepentent about his pantomoime villian role. He loves winding people up apparently. Really? We hadn’t noticed. He also ‘loves Nicole’ apparently. Oh, that’s why he kept making her cry! Now we understand! Emergency, where is Gok Wan? Rex needs a modesty make-over, ASAP!

8.50 ok who’s next? Mikey? NO! It’s Sara! She looks shell-shocked,  insisting she’s ’happy to go’. Yeah, right course you are love. That’s why you look so annoyed. Back in an hour, stay awake tuned!.

10.00 Ok people – we’re on the last leg. The end is in sight! Apparently it’s a photo finish. Simpering Rach or monotone Mikey? It’s a tough one… Ok, Sara is on her way out… she keeps squealing with delight. At least she’s not singing.

10.10 Davina’s interviewing Sara now. Sara’s verging on hysteria. She is competing with Mikey in the annoying-voice stakes. Davina’s interrogating Sara about her ‘love’ for Darnell. Clue: it’s a game show. Is it a leap of faith to assume games are involved? Sara keeps side-stepping the issue of love-sick Darnell. Davina is asking Sara if she was leading him up the garden path. Um… Yes?

10.20 Ok, this is it! And the winner of Big Bro 2008 is… RACHEL! We knew it! Mikey’s on his way out to rapturous applause. Bless him. We take it back about the monotone. Maybe.

10.30 Davina’s interviewing Mikey now. He’s being very magnanimous. Rachel isn’t a fraud, Mikey insists. Yeah, yeah whatever. Mikey says he’s proud to have stood up to all the Big Brother bullies in the house. Well he is the only one who told Rex to sod off – so that can’t be a bad thing.

10.35 Big Bro winner Rach is out! It’s fair to say she’s excited. Yes Rach, we get it, you’re happy! In the words of Michael Winner, calm down dear.

10.42 Davina is interviewing Rachel. Was she being fake or the real her…blah, blah…. Who cares! If Rach had a gameplan it certainly worked. Rex’s bullying probably did her the biggest favour ever and she knew it! She got the sympathy vote if ever there was one. Well done Rachel, you are the best of a motley bunch-of-fame-junkies champion!

Phew, that’s it from us. Thanks for tuning in… see you next year!

KC

  9. Shame about Sara. Rachel to win now .

    Comment by Mahunny — September 5, 2008 @ 9:00 pm

  10. What a complete show off Rex is. The way he posed for the camaras. Rehearsed or what. Not at all ashamed of his behaviour. Mind you just seen Jens picture for the first time, wasn’t all that good. My 3 mth old could do better

    Comment by kerry — September 5, 2008 @ 9:02 pm

  11. Oh please, please, please, please, PLEASE, folks, vote for Rachel to win!! Donnie Darko, (3) it’s not only Mikey’s voice that’s really, REALLY annoying, it’s EVERYTHING about him!!!! Please, vote for Rachel everyone!! Then I can go to bed happy, and I might even be tempted to watch next year!!!!!!!

  14. RACHEL TO WIN!

    Comment by christian — September 5, 2008 @ 9:06 pm

  15. rex was not a happy bunny!!! Finally I have my reward for putting up with his cocky attitude.

    good luck to Mikey and Rachel – I’m happy to see either one of them win. It just goes to show that when it comes down to it we all like a nice person.

    Sleep well guys -its been fun talking to you.

    Comment by Nobby — September 5, 2008 @ 9:08 pm

  16. looks like rachel is going to win now according to the poll on the webpage. It would have been nice is Mikey could win, but it is looking very unlikely. I have predicted the correct order to my husband up to now, so I will conclude with Mikey next and Rachel will win it. Goodnight BB. I have enjoyed putting my comments onto the site. By the way Davina, the dress is fantastic. See you next year!!!!!!

    Comment by ellie — September 5, 2008 @ 9:08 pm

    Comment by pat — September 5, 2008 @ 9:50 pm

  24. now i know theres a god and he as answered my prayers,thanks to everyone who voted the !!!!!!! out and his lap dog money well spent.
    come on mikey your nearly there.

    Comment by ninafairy — September 5, 2008 @ 9:51 pm

  25. Re 20. Many people voted for Rachel to win because of her quite personality when being intimidated by Rex. I personally think he played into her hands, as we the voters were so incensed with the way he treated her, it was a competition between getting Rex out and Rachel to the top.

    It is unlikely that BB10 will have a load of Rachel’s, but will be diverse in its contestants as usual.

    It goes to show that there are a lot of good people around still that will fight against injustice.

    Comment by jay — September 5, 2008 @ 9:52 pm

  26. daine (20) Well said, just imagine ha!
    Yep catcha next year, hope you enjoyed the blog as much as I did x. :)

    Comment by ninafairy — September 5, 2008 @ 9:54 pm

  28. STUART SHOULD HAVE WON. I’VE MISSED HIM!!

    Comment by kim — September 5, 2008 @ 10:13 pm

  29. All my friends are nice Pat, but they are also up for a good laugh. Oh and none of them could ever be accused of patronizing anyone. Rachel hasnt really been true to her VT. I dont dislike the girl at all, i just think shes boring.Sorry if i’ve offended you Pat. x

    Comment by diane — September 5, 2008 @ 10:24 pm

  30. Oh, thank you!! Thank you, thank you. There is a God, after all!!! Thank you to everyone who voted for Rachel to win!! One in the eye for REX!!! HA!!!!!!!

    Comment by Chris S. — September 5, 2008 @ 10:30 pm

  31. the best thing that ever happened on big brother ,nice to see that people nice in the world are reconised & good luck to mickey

    Comment by pat — September 5, 2008 @ 11:06 pm

  32. Well done the Tiscali pollsters – spot on with the order!

    Great to see a “Nice” person get the rewards (though would rather have seen Mikey win) rather than the ones who rely on bullying and nastiness to grab attention – let’s hope the bullies reflect on this and ask themselves why the public didn’t vote more for them. Sadly, I suspect that once in the world again they will simply put their losing down to the majority of the GB public being stupid and gullible. I hope not.

    Strawberry blonde? Snort.

    Sad to see that the weasle-child Luke is unable to take Rachel’s win without being snide. Still a twisted little soul, I see.

    WELL DONE, Rachel.

    Comment by Naph — September 5, 2008 @ 11:11 pm

  33. Damn, i wanted Mikey to win.
    He was hilarious with his swearing and little mood swings XD

    Comment by Leeee — September 5, 2008 @ 11:11 pm

  34. I can’t believe Rachel won!! She has as much personality as a fart! and there was so many more eccentric and bigger characters in the house that played a bigger part and deserved to win so much more then she did!

    Comment by Sophia — September 5, 2008 @ 11:21 pm

  35. This has been the worst ever Big Bro, and for Bambi AKA Rachel to win it, well iam sorry its been a tatical competiton right from the start, and if Rex is a strawberry blonde(ginner)iam a Mrs Brad Pitt ?

    Comment by Lisa Berry — September 5, 2008 @ 11:28 pm

  36. well done rachel!!!

    Comment by aliss — September 5, 2008 @ 11:39 pm

  37. I guess she did have a game plan after all..”off the fence in the dairy room and on the fence infront of her house mates” well done..it worked!

    Comment by angie n — September 5, 2008 @ 11:40 pm

  38. awwwwwww, well one rachel we love u all
    Unlucky Rex tho, bullying people was the wrong way to go about it hahahaha

    Comment by Bobbby — September 5, 2008 @ 11:50 pm

  39. THIS YEAR WAS THE WORST YEAR EVER! FULL OF BULLYING AND PETTY ARGUMENTS… THEY WEREN’T EVEN ENTERTAINING… NO IDEA WHO WAS GONNA WIN BUT RACHEL GOT THE SYMPATHY VOTE COS OF REX… STILL THOUGH THIS YEAR WAS BORING AND THE WORST ONE EVER… IT WILL BE THE YEAR OF BIG BROTHER WHICH EVERYONE FORGETS WHEN REMINISCING

    Comment by Louise — September 6, 2008 @ 2:02 am

  40. I don’t normally do these things but need to get a few things off my chest!! I was really happy that Darnell and Rex were the first to go and I would have been quite happy for any one of the last three to win – I think they were the most genuine and real people on BB. BUT…I really think that Rachel and Sara were treated a bit unfairly in their interviews and on Big Mouth whilst Rex and Darnell got a really easy ride! What’s that all about?? Poor Rachel is still being accused of being fake and I think it was REALLY unfair of Davina to make that comment about her being ‘off the fence in the diary room’. That is just not true, I have watched a lot and Rachel is a very soft hearted, nice person and she never had a bad word to say about anyone, not even in the diary room. What has this world come to if it is boring to be a nice, genuine kind hearted person. She did not sit on the fence, she just doesn’t like to be hurtful to anyone or anything even if they were hurtful to here – I can relate because I also hate conflict and I hate to hurt anyone. It’s so unnecessary and yet some people think that is wrong?? Do they think we should be rewarding the people who say mean and nasty things and who are bullies? I find it all a bit strange! Also, Sara was really given a hard time about leading Darnell on but I think she made it plain all the time she did not fancy him and they both said they liked to cuddle. I do think she is a born flirt, especially after a drink but Darnell knew from the first time around that she did not fancy him and that does NOT excuse his behaviour but this evening they almost made it sound like the way he treated her when he was angry was all HER fault. That’s just wrong!! Anyway…enough of my rant now, got it off my chest …just want to say it restores my faith in human nature that ‘NICE’ people can still do well. WELL DONE RACHEL and please DON’T CHANGE, YOU’RE LOVELY! And well done MIKEY AND SARA!

    Comment by Mary — September 6, 2008 @ 3:11 am

  41. First of all,…. didn’t the GORGEOUS Davina, look,… well,… GORGEOUS, tonight???….. She is THE most lovliest woman on TV, don’t you think???…. My kinda Gal!!!!….
    Anyway, let’s get down to it!!!……

    Thankyou!!!….Thankyou!!!….Thankyou!!!….At last!!!,… The good get rewarded…..HAHAHAHA, MIDDLE FINGER IN YOUR FACE, REX!!!! Did you see his face???? He was sssooooo gutted he wasn’t the Winner!!! HAHAHA!!!!… That bully boy is sssoooo far up his own ****,…it’s made his head bleed!!!!(think about it!!!)….., Talking of his ‘RED HEAD’…..Strawberry Blond??? Yeh, right!!!…That’s what all Gingers say!!!!…
    And his so-called, after dinner speech!….What a load of ******!!!…It was all about him, him, him, as per usual!!!…No mention whatsoever, of the other housemates who are there also!!!….
    So, it’s down to ‘Daddy’, the way Rex is, is it??… To be known as a ‘well liked guy’!!!….Well, it doesn’t say much for his precious ‘Daddy’ then, does it????… He soon saw how well liked he was, when he faced the barrage of BOOS!!! HAHAHA!!!!…’Daddy’ must be everso proud!!!!….NOT!!!!…

    No wonder you never heard Rexy Boy mention his ‘Mummy’,…She’s had a lucky escape!…Let’s face it…would you want to live with two guy’s like Rex????….No,… me neither!!!

    I thought the crowd would have given Rachel a better reception than they did…. Although there were quite a lot of cheers,…there were a few boos too but I hope she didn’t hear them too much and dampen the experience for her.
    Well done Rachel, for being true to yourself and the main thing….For putting up with Rex and the the nasty, jealous comments he bombarded you with!!! You kept your cool and for that alone you deserve it, coz I know if it was me he was having a go at, I tell you, he wouldn’t be able to cheat on Nicole, ever again!!!!

    And did you see that Weasel…Luke???…What a sore LOSER he is??? His snide little comment about Rachel playing a game!!! HE was one of the biggest gameplayers in there and that’s a fact!!!!…It was HE, who always mentioned ‘the hundred grand cheque at the end’!!!!!…No-one else in there did!!!!….He’s just an Obnoxious little twit, whose only claim to fame will be, he’s gonna be known as the skinny little runt from BB9, who got it on with ‘That Big Busted Bike from Birmingham’…that’s all!!!…

    And….on BB’S Big Mouth,….Who gave Dale a wind up!!!…He was one of the deadest HM’s ever, so what gives him the right to slag off Rachel????…

    Stuart too!!! He needn’t talk!!!… He was worse than ever!….Always going on about how boring it was and how much he wanted to leave!!!

    At the end of the day, ….the rest of the HM’s are all just a load of jealous nobodies, who will be forgotten in a few weeks…and who will have to strip off to earn the equivalent of the prizemoney, in the ‘precious’ magazine deals!!!!
    I bet, even if Rachel didn’t win, I bet she wouldn’t lower herself to strip for money!!!…. She’s a down to earth, honest Gal, who has impecible manners, good family values and a good standard of morals…..it’s what this world needs more of!!!…. And Yeh, ok…so what, she lives with the fairies at the bottom of the garden!!!…I’d rather have her as a friend, than some of the monsterosities who have ‘not so’ graced our screen this summer!!!….
    ….. So for me,…. She thoroughly deserves to be crowned the Winner Of BB9!!!!

    Well Bloggers,… it’s been a blast, conversing (so to speak), with y’all…. Here’s to the next installment from the BB House………Let’s hope BB10 lives up to all I imagine it’s gonna be, what, with it being the last ever BB, OF THE FIRST DECADE, OF THE NEW MILLENIUM…..BOO HOO…BOO HOO….BOO HOO….

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen good night,
    the sun, has gone, to bed and so must I,….
    good-byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……………………..

  42. I can’t believe Ridiculous Rachel won, what a simpering finale. Hey Ho

    Comment by Jayne — September 6, 2008 @ 7:56 am

  43. Brill Rachel won…………..it’s about time a normal girl next door won and not REXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX or JENNNNNNNN or BEXXXXXXXXXXXX all of em big mouth bullies. Well done Rachel you deserve to win and don’t change for anyone :)

    Comment by Linsey — September 6, 2008 @ 8:28 am

  44. I agree with everything no.40 said but just to add a little more I was absolutely incandescent that Davina tried to bully Rachel into saying if she would share the money with other housemates, this wasnt just a passing comment, she pushed the mike at her and waited and waited for the poor girl to hang herself, mean if she doesnt stupid if she does. She embarrased her into saying she was giving several thousands to charity and taking some housemates to disney! In my opinion Davina ought to be paying for that, even on her big night Rachel was treated unfairly by Davina who tried to make Rex, her blue eyed bully, look good. Shame on the way BB have condoned his bullying, rewarding him with vintage champagne whilst the others had things like pizza & grapes and shame on Davina who promoted him and made nasty comments about Rachel all the way through. Thank goodmess the majority of people dont find bullying entertaining.

    Comment by joan — September 6, 2008 @ 9:11 am

  45. i woke up this morning & i had the best feeling ever rachel has won it was worth my 400 calls i made she is a credit to the world i wish i could meet more people like her in the world, good luck to her & her family so glad rachels mum stood up to lisa about saying rachel fancied mario you would need to be of your head to fancy that fake tan media hungary wannabee & his fake girlfreind or should i say she man.

    Comment by pat — September 6, 2008 @ 9:13 am

  46. What does 400 phone calls prove? Rachel will make the cost (and more) of your phone bill in an hours work.
    Is she gona help you pay it? don’t think so.

    Thats kinda fake voting for a fake person, wot if she was playing a huge game so many people are gona be pig sick. All they will have to show for this years Big Bruv is a BIG phone BILL.

    Comment by karen — September 6, 2008 @ 9:32 am

  47. Well, Rachel won. Thank god people do accept that someone who was genuine and remained outwardly calm under intense pressure was able to be recognised and thereby WIN. My estimation of DALE went rapidly downhill after seeing his pathetic winging outbursts last night, LUKE also showed himself up as one hell of a PRAT. Frankly, Rachel was almost the only normal middle of the road person in the house and hence fence sitting is what decent people do. GOOD ON YOU RACHEL. What next for the Welsh lass? On another issue, DAVINA as BBBM show was a bit of a disaster do you not agree? RACHEL – YES!

    Comment by G8 — September 6, 2008 @ 9:47 am

  48. Yes, one more thing. BIG BROTHER must pay for the cost of Rachel and her friends trip to Disney Paris, and also stump up the £10 Grand they forced her to say she was giving to charity. What utter a**e holes the producers of BB are and what must they think of Rachel. £100K is a decent sum, I agree, but then its down to £90K then probable down to £80K when you take Paris off, then she needs to pay her mums bills then her own student loans, so say about £40K left, a years salary for a decent job. SHAME on BB for being so rude and acting in indecent haste on this tacky subject. RACHEL Looked so shocked and sad at this taunt from Davina. I hope the BB CREW do justice hear.

    Comment by G8 — September 6, 2008 @ 9:53 am

  49. Luke is the most nastiest housemate ever! Talk about sour grapes! Do his parents feel proud of what he is? Talking about everyone else being in for the money – did I miss the context of the show? Was that not what it was all about. WHY WAS HE IN IT? TWO FACED – I THINK SO

    HOW LONG BEFORE THE MONEY DRIES UP WITH HIS MAGAZINE & PAPER SPREADS – IMMEDIATELY I HOPE.

    Lets face it – he’s only with rebecca to cream as much money as he can! and the same for her!

    Comment by geniune — September 6, 2008 @ 9:53 am

  50. I’m glad Rachel won. I wouldn’t have minded Mikey winning because he did at least stand up to the bullies. Rachcel put up with a lot in the house and maintained her composure and dignity. Had she been fake then she would never have been able to maintain the facade throughout. A pity that the majority of other housemates could not have got over their minor momemnt of notoriety on BBBM last night and allowed her her moment – backing her as the winner – no they all still had to be at their bitchy best – what a shame. Just showed what a crowd of no-hopers they really were.

    Comment by Helen M — September 6, 2008 @ 10:05 am

  51. rachael worst winner ever ,didnt deserve to win.what an anti climax the show was . wonder how many viewers turned off when only boring rachael and discusting mikey wikey only ones left. rubbish final.

    Comment by helen — September 6, 2008 @ 10:18 am

  52. WELL DONE RACHEL! You deserved to win.

    I hope your parents are proud – I know if you were my daughter I would be – they’ve brought you up superbly. To all you other deluded people I say – WHAT.S WRONG IN HAVING MORALS & RESPECT in this life?

    Far from being seen as uncool – step back and take a look at yourselves.

    THE PROOF HAS BEEN SHOWN!

    Once again WELL DONE RACHEL – Don.t be bullied into doing anything you don’t want too with your winnings – JUST ENJOY!

    Comment by joyce — September 6, 2008 @ 10:23 am

  53. What a great result! Congratulations to Rachel, good always prevails over bad, It was also entertaining to see the faces of the others when Rachel won, and the arrogance , Rex showed even when he was getting booed was unbelievable, he is a suitable case for treatment. I have loved reading all of your comments in the morning, while eating my coffee and toast, lots of humour and budding poets, cheered me up for the rest of the day, MANY THANKS.

    Comment by June — September 6, 2008 @ 10:24 am

  54. Did ya hear the Boooo’s last-nite, wonder why? If every one got one vote onli it would be a different winner.
    Multiple voting; (now we know) who benefits from that I wonder?
    Certainly not the person that gets – the bill.

    Comment by Amy S — September 6, 2008 @ 10:40 am

  55. davina was a disgrace last night she did not give that girl any credit for winning, keep the money rachel dont let anyone pressure you in to giving it away & as for that little runt luke he was the only one who ever spoke about the hundred grand & as for dale & stu did someone give them a brave pill, lisa backtracking on her statement about rachel fancying mario, gives me the creeps just thinking about it well done rachel you go girl

    Comment by billy b — September 6, 2008 @ 11:04 am

  57. Well said Vixx – you’ve saved me having to type it all out – I totally agree with your comments!

    What I don’t get is people saying the “entertaining” ones were voted out. You have only to look at what they are doing now in magazines and page 3 type photos, to realise that far from entertaining they are all self-promoting wannabees.

    If you want entertainment like that – why don’t you go along to any pre-school playgroup and watch the kids having a good time. Even they have more self-control than most of those silly housemates.

    This is the first blog I have joined in and I’ve loved reading all your comments. Thanks for some sanity in a materialistic world, and well done to Rachel and Mikey for coming out on top.

  58. I have liked Davina for years, but after the gross act of bullying she put Rachel through last night in front of millions of viewers, has now changed my opinion of her.

    She is now in the category Biggest Bully 09 ahead of REX and NICOLE and the rest who participated in making Rachel’s life in the house as bad as they could.

    It takes a good person both physically and mentally to be able to deal with that, shrug off all that has been thrown at her and to do it always with a smile.

    BB and Davina should pay the charity money and for the holiday that they forced out of Rachel.

    Rachel and Mikey were the only winners who can honestly say that, they were themselves, hold their heads up high and be proud of who they are.

    RACHEL, Good luck for your future, You can be proud of your parents and family upbringing, there’s not many people like you in this country, if there were this country would probably be a better place to live.

  59. gossip was rex dad paying for him to win ,jelouse they have money .dont supose same gossips are saying rachaels millionair boyfriend paid for her to win. GOD KNOWS HOW ELSE SHE WON .EVEN DIVINA COULDNT MAKE IT EXCITING FINISH.

    Comment by helen — September 6, 2008 @ 1:58 pm

  60. agree with comments 41, 43 – 49.
    how dare Davina try and ruin Rachels night!!! She is normally pretty good at keeping her own thoughts close to her heart, but watching her on BBBM I have seen a different side to her. And as for people booing the winner (whether you like them or not) is childish and unforgivable.

    Also on BBBM Davina asked the other housemates if they thought it was the right choice and many said no – excuse me but it was us the paying public that had the choice to choose …. and we did!!

    Amy S (54) Yet again a sour voice I hear.
    Everyone does Multiple voting so they all get the same chance. Can you imagine how many times Rex’s Daddy voted for him??? It would be nice for you to give in gracefully and congratulate Rachel because at the end of the day – SHE WAS THE WINNER

    Comment by Nobby — September 6, 2008 @ 2:06 pm

  61. And just to add my last comment – when talking about Rachel sitting on the fence – Davina made it sound like she was talking about the others in the diary room – which was so not true. Davina you let alot of people down last night, but most importantly you let yourself down. I am so upset about this!!!

    Comment by Nobby — September 6, 2008 @ 2:12 pm

  62. I was watching the housemates have this farewell meal thurs night and all Rex moaned about was the fact that BB had only given them 1 bottle of wine and 1 bottle of bubbley,so Rex why did’nt you open your bottle of plonk that BB gave to you,when all the other housemates shared there gifts with you,
    Im so pleased that Rachel won BB9 and not those ass holes Rex and Darnell.
    Totally agree with the rest of the comments about the way Davina treated Rachel,
    So all i wish to say is good luck Rachel,Mikey and Sara.
    As for Rex and Darnell id like to put two fingers up to you two bullies.
    Its been fun with all you bloggers out there lets hope next year there will be an even better BB10.

  65. OMG i cant believe the old grot bag Rachel won – she was nothing special and did nothing in the house. There was many other housemates better than her so how did this happen? I really wanted Lisa to win she was mad and funny.
    Rachel winning over Michael and Rex just does not make sense. Big Brother is mad for putting her as a winner. What a stupid ending to the show.

    Comment by Bal — September 6, 2008 @ 2:57 pm

  66. o.m.g rachel is the winner who the hell in this world likes rachel i cant stand her to rex deserved to win.

    Comment by chloe — September 6, 2008 @ 3:01 pm

  67. o.m.g rachle is the winner who the hell likes rachel i hate her rex so should of been the winner

    Comment by chloe — September 6, 2008 @ 3:02 pm

  68. I agree with those who have made comments about Davina’s behaviour towards Rachel last night – trying to force her to share the money with the others. Poor girl – you could tell how awful she was being made to feel. It made me cringe just watching it!

    Davina – shame on you!!!!! Perhaps you are the one who should be sharing with the HM the money you have received for your mediocre presenting of the series? Or donating 10% of it to charity?

    Is there any way to make an official complaint? Would others agree that Davina was bullying Rachel? I would like to see her making a formal apology (pie in the sky I know, but it really really annoyed me).

  71. Thank goodness the circus called Big Brother has ended.

    Congratulations to Rachel – a truly worthy winner!

    How sick was that scrawny weed of a man(ha ha – in name only) LUKE. He’ll have to work now for his pennies – O I forgot – he is working – he’s on the dredging circuit – how long before that earner dries up for him – what’s his next trick?

    Perhaps he could apply for the sidekick’s job with Bill and Ben – WEED!

    It would be interesting to see what he’s up to in a few months time when all his freebies are finished.

    Will Davina now have a constant supply of free meals in Rex and Daddies Restaurants?

  72. Vixx thats sad saying rexes mum had a lucky eacape

    Comment by Kilwinning — September 6, 2008 @ 4:22 pm

  73. Rachel is a worthy winner of BB9. So she didn’t strip off, scream at every opportunity or bitch behind everyone’s back or try and manipulate everything to suit herself, she is sweet and funny and full of life and most of all she is kind and warm hearted. What she didn’t deserve was Davina’s treatment on BBBM. It was really horrible to watch when she was asked about sharing her money and also when Davina asked the other housemates if Rachel should have won. Who cares what they think, they made her life hell in there and it was unsurprising to see them all bitter and nasty – exactly why they got voted off BB.

    Comment by jay — September 6, 2008 @ 4:30 pm

  74. Thank God Rex didn’t win (or come second) – what an obnoxious git he is, and what an obnoxious girlfriend he’s got. Still banging on about her being beautiful (she looks like a weasel).

    Good luck to Rachel – don’t give it away, girl, you earned it, you spend it. Charity begins at home, so give your Mum, Dad and boyfriend a treat for their support and forget any promises extracted from you under pressure. Shame on Davina, I say!

    Comment by grandma pat — September 6, 2008 @ 4:59 pm

  75. I’m so so glad Rachel won and not that stuck up bully Rex.If we have a snob like that on big brother again,I won’t be waching it.
    Rachel was like us Welsh Folk ,Kind,thoughtful
    ,helpful well spoken,cleaned mouth and most beautiful.Perphaps the others have never seen folk like this and that was why they thought she was sitting on the fence.Rachel was her real self and makes this world a better place.Please can we have more people this on Television.Rachel, thanks for caring for Mikey and not treating him like Rex and Nicole did.Affliction can come to any one.Tell Rex we are lots and lots of people in Wales as well as in London

    Comment by Con — September 6, 2008 @ 6:16 pm

  76. I am so glad I am not the only one to think that Davina treated Rachel really badly on BBBM. Fancy asking the housemates if she should have won and then letting Dale and Luke run Rachel down. As for Dale and Stuart since when did they have a personality? How exactly were they entertaining? Take away their bodies and what have you got? Dale can hardly string two words together. Also does anyone know how to complain to Channel 4 about the way Davina tried to get Rachel to say she would share her money out? And why did she not once have a good word for Rachel?

  78. Why Rachel?????????????????????? Please can we NOT have any more Rachels on next year Big Brother!!!!!!! How the hell did Rachel win the show over Lisa, Michael and Rex!

    Comment by Bal — September 6, 2008 @ 11:51 pm

  79. Ever get the feeling Davina felt the same way as some viewers about the winner & did not like her. Ok she should be neutral. Some one called Rach a grot bag, why don’t you have a go at them? also some one mentioned Rachs boy friend was never accused of multi votes & Rex folk were. Looks like that’s how the winner was chosen mutli-votes/ common sense fly-s out the window here. And tell me is that the same nice Welsh folk you are blogging about,, that start to speak Welsh the moment they know your a stranger in a bar or restaurant?

    Comment by ken — September 7, 2008 @ 12:11 am

  80. WHO SAID REX CAME FOURTH? just when we all thought he had gone!!!
    TV bosses are planning a fly-on-the wall programme called Meet The Newmarks, which will explore what goes on behind the scenes at Rex’s restaurant. Wonder if he will invite any X House Mates to dine? WHO WON BB again?

    Comment by karen — September 7, 2008 @ 12:56 am

  81. 51; know a lot of BB fans switched off, can u blame em. missed the gossip about Luke and wot Davina said etc etc thot tha final was gonna be boring wif 2 boring contestants left.

    Comment by thilz — September 7, 2008 @ 1:14 am

  82. On Friday good triumphed over evil. I’m so glad Rachel won. People say she was boring but were the others so interesting. I don’t think so. I don’t find bullying funny and as for the first ones out all they did was scream and shout at people. This is not entertainment BB.
    As for Davina, she was disgraceful. To treat Rachel as she did was unforgivable.
    By the way this is the first time I have ever done this but I really feel that things got out of hand this year with Rex and his bullying and arrogance and feel better that I’ve got it off my chest.

    Comment by M Campbell — September 7, 2008 @ 9:08 am

  83. To all the BULLIES out there, there’s always someone bigger and better than you.

    In time, BULLIES realise they are a minority and just how stupid others think they look and act.

    Rex has probably just done his business more harm than good because of the way he has Bullied most everyone in the house.

    Did anyone else notice that when LISA used MARIO as a threat against REX for bulling her, that REX looked really worried and squealed to big brother.

    If we all had REX’s attitude in life, the world would be a bad place to live.

    Thank god the REX’s in this world are very few and far between.

    There are millions more people like RACHEL in this big wide world.

    Comment by Robo — September 7, 2008 @ 9:28 am

  84. Well done Rachel!Ignore any nasty people who say you shouldn’t have won etc.Obviously they are in the minority or you wouldn’t be rolling in 100 grand would you?All these that are slagging you off should be made to spend 13 weeks locked up with the ginger brillo pad head constantly putting them down and bullying them.I’m sure that would make them think differently.UP YOURS REX!

    Comment by mimms — September 7, 2008 @ 10:44 am

  85. glad the prat’s rex and darnel finally went, the silly voters got it right at last,
    rachel had to win, who else was there.
    the answer to 71 is yes she and the crew will get free meals at rex’s, they had them right from the start or the dog would have been treated like every one else.

    Comment by toto — September 7, 2008 @ 11:15 am

  86. IT APPEARS THAT DAVINA HAS BEEN AROUND REX & HIS TYPE TO LONG.HOW ELSE CAN SHE EXPLAIN HER PUSSYFOOTING AROUND WITH NO REAL QUESTIONS TO HIM ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR & HER ATTITUDE TO RACHEL? SHE NEVER DID THIS TO ANY OTHER WINNER.HOW STUPID OF HER TO ASK A BUNCH OF JEALOUS LOSERS THE QUESTION.

    Comment by helen — September 7, 2008 @ 3:14 pm

  90. I would have preferred Mikey to win but regardless was releived that at least the victory went to someone genuine. As for Davina…..perhaps 9 years of interviewing some pretty nasty and shallow people has rubbed off on her?!Time to go Davina…its not on to treat someone in that way.Ur no better than Rex.

    Comment by Lisa — September 7, 2008 @ 3:45 pm

  91. I’m glad Rachel won :) Everybody else in the house apart from Mikey were the fakers……….

    Lets just hope that Rex’s daddy tells him what a prat he’s been bullying Rachel and Sara, no manners at all.

    Comment by Linsey — September 7, 2008 @ 5:15 pm

  92. No 78 needs to get a life or join Rex’s fan club.

    Comment by Linsey — September 7, 2008 @ 5:18 pm

  93. Surely its up to BB to supply the entertainment for the show!!! if I want to be entertained by bullies and loud monthed wonnabees then I can go and stand on many a High Street corner on a Saturday night.
    I think some of you on this blog should really question your meaning of the word ‘entertaining’, because if watching someone humiliate and upset others you feel you are being ‘entertained’, then I would say to you that you also are a bully.
    Of couse we don’t want all Rachels in next years show, no more than we want all Luke’s or all Rex’s. We need a good cross section of characters that are going to make us laugh and entertain us – but not at the expense of other peoples feelings.

    Comment by Nobby — September 7, 2008 @ 6:37 pm

  94. defo agree with comments 40 and 41
    i missed bbbm cannot believe davina bullied rach like that. she is such a deserved winner over the moon she won.
    that skinny weasel luke made himself look so bitter on tv oh well least rach can stick two fingers up at him now (metaphorically speaking) for winning him and his equally annoying gf bex
    just goes to show what a sad world we live in when people would rather a bully like rex win
    thanks everyone for voting for rachel

    Comment by Fairycake — September 7, 2008 @ 8:35 pm

  95. I wish Endemol would replace Davina as presenter. Her silly grimaces and pulling of faces are annoying and she was an unfair interviewer who did no justice to the show or the HM’s. And she waddles on the stage!
    A tired affair altogether.
    I so miss Dermott from last years BBLB. He was so entertaining.
    Give me ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ any time.

    Comment by Winter — September 7, 2008 @ 9:15 pm

  96. Davina is usually quirky on BB, you all being a little toooo protective of the winner.
    Gives the wrong impression, did the BB winner win on a vote sympathy?
    Remember folks its a game show winner; [not a candidate for US presidency] why all the fuss?

    liz, @Boston, Massachusetts

    Comment by liz — September 7, 2008 @ 9:49 pm

  97. …And so BB9 has finally ended. Although I wasn’t a Rachel fan, Good Luck to the girl.
    I do hope that there will be a BB10 but methinks that with all this controversy that has surrounded BB9, it remains to be seen. So many have complained to Ofcom and BB, that I wouldn’t be surprised if they ‘pull the plug’. (Many thanks to those who complained…NOT!) So if next year comes around and there is no BB, remember what happened this year.
    I still am of the mind that Rex wasn’t a bully but rather a wind up merchant. Whoever thought him so, have you easily forgotten what Alex was like to the HM’s? As for Mikey standing up to the ‘bullies’? Well, I seem to recall that this wasn’t evident until later in the show.
    As I missed BBBM I had only what others had wrote to go by regarding Davina’s interview. I must admit that when I got the chance to see the programme for myself, I just couldn’t believe the outcry concerning it. I don’t think Davina did or said anything wrong. Unfortunately the Bandwagon is rather full as complaints have NOW been made to Ofcom and BB about her.
    So, as I said at the beginning – DON’t be surprised if BB comes to an end. Only time will tell…..

    Comment by Seams — September 8, 2008 @ 7:48 am

  98. Can-not wait to see the pole dancing ha!
    A lot of fuss about nothing Davina’s interview.
    Not surprised that girl won Big B looks like the sympathy vote rings a bell.
    Yes,, thanks to all who voted,, and the bloggers that repeated themselves time and time, my mum and dad,, and any one else who knows me. Thank-yo haaaa!!
    PS;; was Seams,96, Luke’s brother,,? sounded like he thought he was running the Big B Blog,
    that’s all,,

    Comment by ken — September 8, 2008 @ 11:20 am

  99. Helen, where did you hear that? if this is true people will defend her by;
    saying “its modern art,, not just stripping off for a photo shoot.” haaaa!!!

    Comment by ken — September 8, 2008 @ 11:26 am

  100. Seams – Good for you for congratualting Rachl even though you were not a fan. Pity there were not more people like you on the blog. I liked Rachel because she remained true to herself in the house despite being attacked verbally by several housemates who many claim were ‘entertaining’. Agree with 57 this is playground entertainment – or I would go so far as to say about as entertaining as outside any main street public house on a Saturday night where boys try to act ‘big’ and girls strut about shedding their clothes – clever NOT. Davina was not clever on BBBM and did not give Rachel any credit for being the winner. I also feel that she was unfair to Sara. I wonder how different BB would have reacted if Sara or Rachel had been coloured – would REX and Darnell still have made the final, and would their behaviour been passed over as ‘lads having fun’ – I don’t think so. Good luck Rachel, enjoy it while you can. Best of luck to Mikey and Sara as well and I hope Mario and Lisa have a Great Wedding and a fantastic life together, as for the others I hope they disappear back to obscurity as soon as possible.

    Comment by Helen M — September 8, 2008 @ 2:10 pm

  101. OMG Rex is gone now and you have started on Davina.
    Did you ever STOP and LOOK at your own blogs? really close and see who has bullying tendencies. Many interviewers use a controversial style they are worshiped.
    Most of you need to get a life and not watch reality shows.

    Comment by karen — September 8, 2008 @ 3:15 pm

  102. I’m glad the viewing public saw sense and voted the nicest, most genuine person the winner. The other housemates have been entertaining but didn’t deserve to win. Well done Rachel

    Comment by Julie — September 8, 2008 @ 3:36 pm

  103. Hi Ken 98, I may be a little slow but please could you explain – ‘PS;; was Seams,96, Luke’s brother,,? sounded like he thought he was running the Big B Blog,’…May I ask WHY did you feel this way?

    Ps. Helen M 100 – it was only FAIR to congratulate Rachel.

    Comment by smith&son — September 9, 2008 @ 10:16 am

  109. I totally agree with J.68 Davina,s behaviour to Rachel was disgraceful and should call for an a apology, by BB9 and Davina personally. It was very clear during the final week how much Davina,was showing preference for Rex and constantly refered to him on several occassions. a presenter should have an unbiased opinion. Rachel deserved to win, and not pressured at her interview, It again showed more bullying did it not. Good luck Rachel.

  113. Well i’m glad Racheal won she deserved it, she is a generally a nice person, who could teach alot of people a few things, for one bullies and bitching gets you no where. Darnell has a great personality and once he truly accepts he is liked for what he is, his personality will shine through. So i wish Darnell and Racheal lots of luck. Sarah is a lovely, loud yes but generally nice, i hope her dreams come true. As for Rex and Nichole they suit one another, totally selfish, and arrogant, two not nice qualities in a person.
    They really deserve each other. i hope seeing all the flashbacks they both learn from their experiance, money does not make you a nice person as we saw.
