Nikkin (BB7) fanitusketju

[Spencer]

Housemates from heaven and hell

Watching Big Brother can been likened to a Pantomine. There are those housemates that we can’t help but fall in love with and then there are those villains that have us screaming boo at the screen. Check out who made it into our favourite list and who we loved to hate.

Who we loved



Nikki Grahame
Probably the true star of BB7. A true drama queen, she provided hours of entertainment with her temper tantrums, ear-piercing shirks and romance with Pete.

Brian Dowling
The quick-witted Irishman has been voted the nations favourite housemate ever on several occasions and we couldn’t agree more.

Nadia Almada
It was her screaming at Big Brother for more cigarettes, showering in high heels and cackle that made the nation fall in love with her. It was no surprise that she won BB5.


Who we loved to hate



Nasty Nick Bateman
The original villain. He cheated nominations writing down contestants name and showing them to the others to influence the votes. Sure enough he was thrown out of the house.

Charley Uchea
Who could forget the self-confessed IT girl. From day one you knew she would be trouble. She was mouthy, vain and we loved to hate her!

Sezer Yurtseven
Getting a record 91.6% of the vote to be evicted makes him one of the most unpopular Big Brother housemates ever. Was it his cocky attitude, arrogance or sleazy behaviour that had him evicted? All of the above!

Nikki on mennyt naimisiin Andy Scott-Leen kanssa, leikisti. Ziggy (BB8) oli bestman ja Liam (BB8) pappi!

Nikkin tämänviikkoinen OK-lehden kolumni.

MY ENCOUNTER WITH LI-LO!
I was at Faces nightclub in Essex last week where Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were also guests, I was in the VIP section with Lindsey as she drank vodka and champagne with her entourage. She wasn't diva-like at all and looked really beautiful with gorgeous hair. Sam was a good DJ and played some of her brother Mark's songs. I didn't see her with Lindsey, though, as she was so busy on the decks. I think they make a lovely couple.

I'M A CELEB..... MAKES ME ILL!
Watching I'm A Celebrity.... last week almost me sick! Joe Swash had to eat a crocodile's willy. I could never do something like that. They haven't wasted any time in getting them to do the nasty tasks this year - normally they ease them in gently. I really like Carly Zucker. She intrigues me as she's not one of the more high profile WAGs.

KERRY NEEDS SOME TIME OUT
Kerry Katona's MTV show has been axed and I think it's for the best. She's had chances to make a success of herself but now I think she's gone off the rails. Looking back to when she was on I'm A Celeb...., she just isn't the same girl today. She should keep her head down for a couple of months and let everything calm down before she makes a public appearance again.

THE X FACTOR IS GETTING ANNOYING
I love the X Factor but it's annoying me. I was happy when Daniel Evans left as had too long on the show, but I just can't understand why people like Eoghan Quigg and Diana Vickers so much. I think he comes across as an arogant little boy and she sounds like she's got something stuck in her throat! Take That week was so exciting. They're a great band to have on the show as they have a good range of songs to choose from.

I'M LOVING...
My new Pineapple leg warmers. You can wear them over tights and they are perfect for the cold winter weather. I've got some shiny leggings that they go really well with.

MY DIARY
Last week I went to Cafe De Paris in London for a party organised by Nick Ede in aid of The Stroke Association. It was amazing, especially as Laura White and Kelly Rowland performed! I also went to Champneys' Henlow Grange spa with my sister Natalie, where we had the Rasul mud treatment, which was so relaxing. Happy 25th birthday to my friend Patrick, too - we went to Nobu restaurant to celebrate!

TRISHA IS GIVEN THE ALL-CLEAR
I was so happy to learn that Trisha Goddard has been given the all-clear from breast cancer. Cancer is such a horrible illness that affects so many people - my relatives included - so it's great to see a happy ending for a change. I worked with Trisha on the Battle Of The Sexes part of her show and she is absolutely lovely. Seeing her recover so publicity must be really encouraging for people going through a similar experience.

GORDON AND TANIA REMAIN UNITED
It's great to see that Gordon Ramsey and his wife, Tania, are still looking so secure despite recent events. I really hope they stay together, particularly as they have the children to think about. It be must be tough for them too. They've always seemed strong as a couple in the past and their marriage has lasted a long time compared to many other celebrities'. Hopefully this blip will make them stronger and they can work through it together.

JOE GETS MY VOTE!
I'm loving Joe Swash in the jungle! I'll be so happy if he wins. I was excited about Carly Zucker at first but she has actually turned out to be quite dull so far! People are saying that Nicola McLean is trying to be just like Jordan, but I can't really see a massive resemblance, to be honest. As for the tasks, I hate the ones where they have to eat all the bugs, but being trapped underground with lots of creepy-crawlies would be my biggest fear.

I FEEL SORRY FOR DANNII
I think everyone has been way to harsh on Dannii Minogue recently. She was The X Factor new girl last year but since Cheryl Cole arrived. I think Dannii has been overlooked and she hasn't even done anything wrong. I think she cried the other week because she is afraid of being dropped from next year's judging panel. I think Diana Vickers or Eoghan Quigg will win, but, to be honest I can't stand either of them.

I'M LOVING...
Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Seasilk Hair Masque. I have the treatment done at a hob salon every month. It leaves your hair looking fabulous.

MY DIARY
Last week I saw David Walliams in the play, No Man's Land and I though he was fantastic. I'd love to see him get more film roles as he has proved that he can do straight acting as well as comedy. I also had my bottom read by the Andrex rumpologist, Sam Amos! She was amazing as she was able to tell all sorts of things about both me and my family. At the weekend I went to see band Mystery Jets who are supporting The Kooks. I also saw my friends Carly's band, Me and The Beast. She has an incredible voice. Check out their website, http://www.meandthebeast.com.

Also I noticed you like advatars I have quite a few of Nikki on my MySpace if you want to take a look Bluegropers Myspace

Here is one for you its all about this thread and why it was created.

I see you like Aleisha from BBAU she is one of my favs down here too.

Welcome to the NTA

[Spencer]

^ Thanks bluegroper & Welcome to BBPlaza!

Oh, you like Aleisha too? That's Great! Aleisha is my all-time favourite housemate, and Nikki is by far the best housemate from BBUK.


If you are interested, here are instructions how you can register in English: Quick Guide to the BBPlaza Forums

Feel free to speak in English here. :cheers

[bluegroper]

Hi Spencer, I made it in here, I have taken you up on your invite. Thankyou for you and everyone that posts here in support of Nikki.

I see you like Aleisha BB7AU too, I dont have much of BBAU up on youtube as it got taken down by ESS But have this video of Aleisha winning
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=dzpV-EIBvxM

My all time favourite is Nikki of cause but Aleisha, Christina (BB1AU), Jo (BB3AU) and Vesna (BBAU5) are also favourites of mine from the Australian series. I started watching BBUK in 2006 which was Nikki's series of cause and since then I have watched 5, 6, 8 and 9 in the UK.

[Spencer]

Hi bluegroper, it's so nice to see you here! :welcome

Thanks for the Aleisha-video. That moment when Aleisha won is most memorable reality TV moment for me ever. I was soooo happy!

I don't know Christina but Jo is your favourite? I had nothing against her, but I believe that Joanne is one of the most hated housemates in BBAU? Because she got so high eviction percentage, almost 90%.

You have obviously watched all of the BBAU-seasons. I have watched seasons 3-8 and half of the season 2. What's your favourite BBAU-season? I liked seasons 3, 4 and 7 the most. It's very sad that Channel 10 decided to stop making Big Brother. I liked BBAU more than BBUK. I want BBAU back!

[ff]

^^ Finland tv should at least show the season which had Nikki on it. But no chance.
It's stupid that there isn't going to be a new season in Australia. It should at least continue when there is no one wanting in BB-house anymore. It's THE best reality-show on earth. [smilie=a_partyguy.gif]

[Punde]

My all time favourite is Nikki of cause but Aleisha, Christina (BB1AU), Jo (BB3AU) and Vesna (BBAU5) are also favourites of mine from the Australian series. I started watching BBUK in 2006 which was Nikki's series of cause and since then I have watched 5, 6, 8 and 9 in the UK.

Yo. Nice to see fellow Vesna fans We have a thread here ( http://www.bbplaza.net/forum/viewtopic. ... 13#p235713 ) where we so called superfans of Big Brother in general list our favourites, series by series. The first list is the favourites (suosikit) and the second is "the hate list" (inhokit) Super-favourites and super-annoying housemates are in bold.

Sorry, this post has pretty much nothing to do with Nikki, but I give it a go anyway.

Christina the Ballerina from BB1, graduated from the Australian Ballet School and was a member of the West Australian Ballet before going on Big Brother. She was funny in the house and is now a professional stand up comic. Has been to a lot of Comedy festivals in Australia, Los Angeles and the Edinburgh festival. She was a finalist in Australia FHM mag search for the most funniest man, the only women in competition
Here is a youtube vid of Christina here:-
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=mZNFd7_UcEM

Jo well she was up against two of the most popular HM's Reggie and Daniel and was evicted by 86% of the vote mainly by the female population as she played up to every man on the house. Every man in the house had a crush on her at some stage or other.

I am also friends with Vesna and talk to her occasionally

En ole täällä vähään aikaan postaamassa Nikkin-kolumneja, joten jos joku muu Nikki-fani voisi minun puolestani postata niitä tänne, koska tiedän monen lukevan Nikkin kuulumisia mielellään. "Barracute" postaa Nikkin kolumnin tänne yleensä tiistaina/keskiviikkona: NTA...Nikki Thread of Appreciation (Merged) (Part 4)

and same in English: It would be nice if someone (bluegroper?) could post these Nikki's columns here when I'm away. Because many Finnish Nikki fans also like to read her columns.

VICTORIA'S CLOTHES ARE POSH BUT PRICEY
Victoria Beckham has launched her new range of dresses, which is exciting as she is such a style icon. Although they look lovely, I can't help feeling she's missing her target market as they cost between £650 and £1900! A lot of her fans are young girls who simply won't be able to afford such expensive clothes. She's also revealed that she doesn't do the drawings for the designs, which is crazy as surely that's the best bit!

BLAKE'S TIME AWAY IS GOOD FOR AMY
I read that Blake Fielder-Civil has gone back to prison and I think it's for the best as far as his wife, Amy Winehouse, is concerned. She seems much better having had a break from him recently. I hope she uses this time away to find someone more stable who won't let her down. Ideally, Blake should use his time inside to change his ways, although I think it would take a lot to make him change, sadly.

MR NASTY CANNOT QUIT THE X FACTOR!
Simon Cowell has said he may quit The X Factor's judging panel next year but it wouldn't be the same without him. If he and Dannii Minogue left, it would become the Cheryl Cole show - I think Louis Walsh is just pointless. I'm looking forward to the final. I've loved this series, although it has been annoying at times with people like Ruth getting voted off. I hope she has a successful solo career.

OH NO! BRITNEY HAS NOW TURNED INTO A DIVA
Britney's making her comeback, but I've been disappointed by it all, to be honest. It was a shame she couldn't take the time to get involved with the contestants on The X Factor, like Take That and Mariah Carey did. She seems to have become a bit of a diva and I think she needs to appreciate the public and give them a bit more - they have stood by her, after all. She does look great, though - much better than this time last year!

I'M LOVING...
Champneys Spa Secrets For Body And Soul. This gorgeous book is full of exercises, recipes and tips on how to feel good throughout the four seasons. It's also got make-up ideas and advice on learning to love yourself.

MY DIARY
I've done some of my Christmas shopping already but I'm saving most of it for my trip to Dubai - I can't wait! Last week I went to Harrods to get some decorations from their Christmas shop. I've been putting up my tree and hanging lights in the windows. I also got some cute outfits for my dogs, Baby and Thumbelina. This week I saw Supergrass for the fourth time this year! They're my favourite band in the world and were performing at London's Shepherds Bush Empire.

[bluegroper]

Hi Spencer would be happy to post if you are not here just let me know when you cant do it.

In the OK! column Nikki mentions her favourite band Supergrass and has seen them 4 times. Make that 5 she went to see them last night. Also Nikki is off to Dubai on the 21st and taking her lovely mum Sue.

Spencer left here for a while. Dunno how long.
So you can start now

Nikki's Hot Stars Column

OUR COLUMNIST TALKS ABOUT CHERYL'S LATEST VENTURE, DIANA AND EOGHAN'S BUDDING RELATIONSHIP AND NICOLA VERSUS JORDAN


CHERYL'S TAKING POSH'S CROWN

When I heard Cheryl Cole is going to be on the cover of Vogue magazine, I thought: "Move over, Posh!" She really is turning into the next Victoria Beckham! Cheryl is huge at the moment but she's worked really hard to get where she is. She's come from a working-class family, and despite having had some hairy moments in her career, she's turned every negative, into a positive. In the future, I can see her designing her own fashion range.

THIS YEAR'S STRICTLY HAS BEEN THE BEST YET

I've really enjoyed this series of Strictly Come Dancing. It's had it's fair share of controversy - what with John Sergeant walking out - and there have been some good characters involved, like Jodie Kidd and Andrew Castle. I think the standard has been better than ever - some of them danced like professionals! Brendan Cole annoyed me, though, when he stormed off after disagreeing with the judges. It makes good TV, but I think he's far too arrogant for his own good!

DIANA AND EOGHAN ARE DEFINITELY CLOSE

I'm not surprised that there are rumours about The X Factor's Diana Vickers and Eoghan Quigg dating. They've been living together in a tense environment and they must have built up a genuine bond during that time. I think it's really unfair on Diana's ex-boyfriend, Chris Jones, though - to have to see them together so often must be really hard. I don't understand what she's thinking, because Chris is really good-looking, while I think Eoghan looks like a troll! I know who I'd choose....

NICOLA WON'T MATCH JORDAN

Since I'm A Celebrity..... ended, there has been a feud between Nicola McLean and Jordan. But I have to say, I don't think Nicola stands a chance! Jordan has been around for much longer, while Nicola has just had a lucky break. I liked her in the jungle - she had balls - but there is only room for one Jordan, especially as the two of them are so similar. If Nicola had something different to offer, I think she'd probably stand out a bit more.

I'M LOVING....

Jumbuck sheepskin boots. They're available from and are like Uggs, only much cheaper. I've got a black pair and they're super-snug. Treat yourself - you deserve it!

MY DIARY

Last week, I took my mum and sister to Fortnum & Mason for afternoon tea for a christmas treat, and this week we'll be having a party at mum's house with close friends and family. Next week, Mum and I are off to Dubai - I can't wait! I'm going to relax and have a boat ride on the creek. At New Year I'll be going to Posh Funk at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel with some friends. My book, Nikki Grahame: Dying To Be Thin is available to pre-order now and is out in May. I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas - see you in the New Year!

Thankyou to Barracute who does the writeups.

There's no OK! next week, this issue is cover dated 30th Dec, There is a really nice pic of "Nikki Grahame and OK's Mark Moody" (he is the diary editor i think going by his credit in the contributers list in the front of the mag) in the xmas party write up, they looked to be really enjoying themselves
