I am not even sure if the issue is resolved or not, but my site is back online right now. They said it was never really ‘down’, I just couldn’t access it because they limited the connections, but I know from my logs that no one was able to access my site for several hours.

I don’t know if it’s going to go down again every time I get some decent traffic, but they let me know a few things I could do to reduce server load, so I guess only time will tell. Fingers crossed. Host issues are the last thing I need right now.

So my favourite didn’t win, they came 4th.
My 2nd favourite didn’t win, they came 3rd.
My 3rd favourite didn’t win, they came 5th.
My 2nd least favourite came 2nd.
My least favourite won.

Doh!

King Rex should have won, he was an ass for sure but he was the most interesting and entertaining housemate this year by far — by an absolute landslide. He’s one of only about 4 housemate ever that I actually care about, in the sense that I will lookout for news about what they are up to and watch any future shows they appear on. Usually once they leave the house, I am over them.

Rachel, the girl who won, is nice enough. I never subscribed to the theory that she’s ‘fake’ just because she is perma happy. But she wasn’t a big part of the show for me, she wasn’t even on my radar for several weeks, she wasn’t funny, she wasn’t clever, she wasn’t unique, she wasn’t interesting to me — she was just, nice.

But it’s all good because I had put a free bet on her to win at odds of 13 to 1, so I am £40 up — if only I had put more on, I had £10, I put £5 on Darnell and £2.50 each on Rex and Rachel.

Overall it was a great series, but the finale was really anti climactic for me.

No one knows! http://www.respect2007.com/2008/09/05/whos-gonna-win-it-no-one-knows/ http://www.respect2007.com/2008/09/05/whos-gonna-win-it-no-one-knows/#comments Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:45:36 +0000 Toria http://www.respect2007.com/?p=142 I am super excited because tonight is the Big Brother UK finale. Yes, I like Big Brother and reality tv…I am proud to admit it.

This is the first year in a long time that the finale has been really open, we just don’t know who’ll win…or even who will be out first. This never happens on Big Brother UK, the finales and all the evictions are really predictable — you know what’s going to happen as soon as nominations are announced.

I am allowing myself the evening off from working out, so I will be nice and relaxed for kick off…rather than tired and sweaty like usual :P and I am going to allow myself a small bowl of ice cream as a treat. Then I am going to settle down, laptop nearby so I can see what’s going on on the forums and watch live feed at the same time and ENJOY it :)

Rex or Sara to win.
