I've not spoken much about Yasmin, but while she has a reputation in the #bbuk house as a shit stirrer, she's actually shown herself to be caring, & stands up for what's right in spite of any potential risk to her position. & it'd be poetic for her to win after what happened to Johanne & Pauline.

Interesting that Yasmin is indeed favourite to win #bbuk at this point, though it remains a tight market. I saw previous winner Ali yesterday saying that Yasmin would be a deserving winner and I don't disagree. While Twinks remains my favourite at this point, I would not be mad at Yasmin winning.

I think that Ms. Abdi-Wali seems to have worked hard, that the UK has demonstrated its capacity for integration, that her story is examplary for how migrants can work to improve British society. THIS is the dream. Thanks to Mr. Goodwin for highlighting this positive migration story.

He pulled the same 'dictionary definition' shit with Twinks, talking about the 'negative connotations' of the word witch. I can't believe neither of them have challenged him on that - they're not beholden to whatever he decides a definition is! They allowed him to set the frame for the argument.

And Catrin intrigued me in that last scene with Twinks. Not to speculate too wildly, but something tells me she has first hand experience of abuse. Her gutteral reaction to Omar tonight and her extreme reaction to Pauline last week is giving significant trigger. #bbuk

Interesting episode for Sam tonight, who's really come out of his shell and is suddenly speaking to far more people. Didn't like his capitulation to Omar, but even speaking enough to prompt that confrontation was a step forward. #bbuk

Is Twinks doing this to Omar and Rhianna on purpose?? I absolutely love it either way. She don't need no fancy concoctions to weave some witchy magic! #bbuk

Omar was fucking vile in that task. And yet somehow he managed to top it with his snidey little response to Sam when they were all back together. Sam can call you classless if you're being classless. He can call you classless whenever he wants! And you have to fucking take it. Prick. #bbuk

Farage announces he wants to deport huge numbers of people just like Trump. Remember that resulted in the deaths of Americans as well as migrants. And let’s ask Americans if their economic conditions improved as a result. They did not. Farage has no ideas except Trump’s.

As I've said before, Frankie has the potential to be a great housemate, but if he thinks a Diary Room confession on Day 2 is enough for him to cruise, I look forward to him being shown to be incorrect. #bbuk

Didn't actually realise the second little contretemps was between Rhianna and Frankie which, btw, he's totally misheard. He's extremely sensitive, and gets dark in these moments. #bbuk

Interesting #bbuk Sneak Peek today. This Rhianna/Omar schism has the potential to really shift the balance of power in the house. Rather appropriate, for the House of Power. Annoyingly it'll probably keep Rochelle protected.

The 'funny vibration' Gemma has identified is just the fact that there's too many arseholes in the #bbuk house.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

And I see from a quick look at the odds that Rochelle is now favourite to win. Like I said, she's not never entertaining, but she's been pretty fucking horrible a significant number of times, as well as just generally being heinously fucking simple. Her winning would a significant stain on #bbuk.

Gemma straightaway telling Rochelle that she's 'hilarious' has got her stay off to the kind of start I was dreading. #bbuk

Oh wow, Omar apologised to Yasmin. I thought he'd been a bit quiet. I can applaud a bit of introspection and humility. While still far from being one of my favourites, he bumped himself up a tiny bit. #bbuk

Frankie's reaction to Twinks has made me howl. I feel like he's the housemate with the most actual potential to be amazing, but he's now spent half the run of the series completely fumbling that potential. I know it must be hard for him, but come on, fucking go for it. #bbuk

Rochelle got an interesting edit last night, lots of playfulness and 'hilarious' diary room rants. She even showed momentary self awareness. She's not never entertaining, but we've all seen what she actually is. #bbuk

Happy as I am that we've had Hannah stick around another three episodes at least, she is so clearly not long for that world. Not sure Maya & James realised how good a move it was, but recruiting her took out the best Faithful, & helped them evade suspicion for a good few days. #TheCelebrityTraitors

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

Thrilled to have Hannah still in #TheCelebrityTraitors for a bit longer at least, but I'm not optimistic about her chances at longevity. Obviously she was very nervous at breakfast, but also her respective performances at the two Round Tables have been like night and day.

She absolutely votes Reform because her husband tells her to.

To be fair I feel like I've seen her saying something about having asked for one.

Catching up on tonights #bbuk - fuck off forever Rochelle. This applies to any episode this series. Seriously though, she was horrible about the new arrivals on Friday, and now acts like some saviour. Get in the bin.

At least it's likely uncontroversial to say that the real star of tonights #bbuk was Twinks' dancing trousers.

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Pauline will catch plenty of merited criticism for her conduct in this particular situation. But her damage is clearer - both in a house where she sees others given grace she isn't afforded, and thinking back to the micro aggressions she's already made clear she's experienced all her life. #bbuk

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Okay Rochelle can get to fuck from now to eternity, as always, but I have to wonder after seeing that what Catrin's damage is. I suppose there'll be more we haven't seen, but that reaction to all of that was pretty OTT. #bbuk

Quite amazed that Twinks hasn't nominated Omar. She's free to pick up on Frankie, particularly after he left her out to dry yesterday, but we were that close to having a shot at Omar. #bbuk

I'm sorry, has Catrin just nominated Sam because he's intelligent? #bbuk

Omar, Rhianna and Rochelle showing themselves up in that first block of nominations. Just shut the fuck up. Wildly, pathetically childish, each of them. #bbuk

Quite enjoyed getting told to fuck off tonight by some obstinate prick who argued at me like a 12 year old about witchcraft. He actually adopted the exact same arguing tactic as Omar, it was almost sweet, like an homage. An homage to pig-headedness. #bbuk

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Lots have said this today but this was a great episode for Rob. He's absolutely right about the table dancing. That whole group, Omar, Rhianna and Lynx, are so joyless. Rob, Pauline and Harry later on purposely winding Lynx up was objectively rude, but he's such a wet blanket it's funny. #bbuk

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I suppose if Twinks is happy enough I can't complain too strongly. He does go off the deep end sometimes though. Weird how Rhianna immediately misreporting what she had said to the entire house actually led to a constrictive conversation. #bbuk

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Oh sorry, I didn't realise Omar had Googled it, he just misspoke when he said that about a textbook. Shove your disingenuous bullshit. Twinks gave her own explanation of what being a witch meant to her, and some people don't want to listen. It's not fucking complicated.

Paul, but medicated @pmartinssmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Philip can shove this nonsense up his arse as well. Trying to make out that he's made all this effort to be Twinx's friend when we've all seen him immediately judge her from afar in a corner with Rochelle. #bbuk

I'm sorry, did Omar learn what witchcraft was from a fucking textbook? He's a cretin. Twinks is a fucking queen for removing herself. She knows he's a waste of her time. #bbuk
