The beginning. Again.

It's back! And it's got bells on.

So, to reiterate, and if you missed it the first time around, here's the general idea.

And I quote (with moderate alterations):

"There's 15 people all in a house. To allieviate their boredom they are set a task every 2/3 days to fiddle about with. During the 2/3 days the people observing vote for their favourite person. At the end of the task the person with the least votes gets eliminated from the house. This carries on until there is one person left.

Yeah, we just came up with this in our lunch break. Good eh?

In a not-as-totally-original-as-it-was-the-first-time-around idea, the like of which has never been seen before anywhere apart from when we did it last time obviously, I, with the fabulous help of Little Blogger AKA Furtive Minx have set a little website up.

15 specially invited bloggers will get access to our pride and joy on the first night, and the website a little bit later. Every other day or so they will get set a task which will involve them debating/rambling on about various issues, etc. At the same time as the task is set a poll will also go up on the website. The blogger with the least votes at the end of the 2 days will get eliminated and be laughed at for a while.

The blogger left at the end will be crowned the Big Blogger 2007 Champion. You never know, when I sell this to Channel 4 you may get to meet someone famous; I get my sprouts from the same place as  Chantelle and Preston so I can always ask them if they wouldn't mind stroking your head for a bit. Wouldn't that be nice?

So, sounds boring? God yeah. But it's summat to do no?

Anyway, as Big Blogger I think I should have an identifiable accent. I'm thinking some kind of soft Geordie. Or, if that's not original enough, maybe Scottish? Apparently people love Scottish accents. Someone did a questionaire to find that out. Don't some people have the strangest jobs? Anyway. I'm off to perfect my Big Blogger voice. And to try and sell the rights to Guatemala. I reckon it'll be a goer.

Please put your nominations for who you think should be in the house in the comments box or you can even contact me by the power of email. Isn't the internet amazing? One nomination each please. I will draw them out of a massive sombrero at the end of some day in the future (let's say Friday the 25th of May) ask the 15 if they would like to take part and get them to introduce themselves by way of a little spiel. Big Blogger 2(007) will start on the Tuesday of the following week, A) because the Monday is a bank holiday and you should all be out partying anyway, and B) because unlike every other weekend in the history of my entire life, I have a wedding to go to. Shocking but true. I am however reasonably certain you'll all manage to cope for one day.

You can also email me with any suggestion for possible tasks for them to discuss. I'm free and easy like that.

You decide.

Hey I think I like that as a catchphrase."

So get nominating people, and remember, if you want to nominate or pimp yourself you can. We haven't a care in the world round here, we are permanently hung loose, we let it all hang out, and so on and so forth, etc, etc...

[lucy... I mean....er... vitriolica]

gorblimey, it seems like a lifetime away, that last one. I'm sure this one will be even better. hooray for timothy mcstannard!

[Tom the Twit]

The Twat - then Zoe can have a good laugh!

Tom

[Sarah]

Nice one, Tim.

Can I nominate my friend and prolific blogger Mr SwissToni, please:

http://www.swisstoni.blogspot.com/

[Big Blogger]

You can nominate whoever you want Sarah, but the Incredibly Important Big Blogger Housemate Selection Committee will be making the final decision as to who gets in and who gets shoved unceremoniously out of the bathroom window and into the path of an onrushing compost heap.

It's sad, I know, but it can't be helped.

[Sarah]

Phew. Hence the reason I nominated someone else for the public humiliation and mental cruelty you describe.

[Angelalala]

Ooh, how exciting! Can I be the short, blonde one that gets raving drunk and shows her thrupnies on the first night? Can I? Can I?

[furtive]

lets hope so, angelalalalalala :P

can i nominate someone timbo? and if i can, i'd like to nominate stuart of kitchentable.

just because.

[Big Blogger]

I think you're allowed Little Furtive Blogger. I think. Hey, why not.

[Cat]

Fab idea, although I must confess to being a bit stupid and not completely understanding how it's going to work. Anyway, consider it duly pimped over at my gaff.

Re accents, apparently the one people like to hear most on the telephone is a Dundee accent. Although obviously not that bloke out of The View, as he's barely coherent.

[Clare]

Ooh, my bloke's from Dundee! Well, more or less. I do get women swarming all over him and trying to steal him - I guess that'll be why.

I suspect there might be problems with this nominations lark though... how do you know people will want to do it? Seems like an awful lot of work to me...

I can't believe it's only a year since the last one though! Internet Time is very weird like that - it seems to last much longer than Real World Time.

Aha, hang on... "the whole of the original 2005 Big Blogger event"

2005 is two years ago, right? Well that ruins my Internet Time theory then.

[Clare]

Cor, I ain't 'alf impressed by this site though. Very good. Well done.

[bedshaped]

Wicked idea....again.

[Big Blogger]

Clare - I know what you mean about the whole 'how will the nominations work' thing. But it worked last time, so who am I to argue?

We're bloggers, we work shit out. Apparently.

[bedshaped]

Oh and I'd like to nominate girlonatrain, if I may.
girlonatrain

[Big Blogger]

BREAKING NEWS!!! - Beth Girlonatrain is on holiday! At the Other Side of the World! Nominate someone else please! (bloody good nomination despite that though *applauds*)

[furtive]

oh ok.... i nominate bedshaped :)

[Daddy Papersurfer]

I have no idea what this is about but if it is to get someone into trouble I'd like to nominate my lickle boy Papersurfer. Thank you for your kind consideration.

[Ariel]

Ah all bloggers are attention-seeking whores, me, me, me, me, me! Please?

[penfold]

- and in the true spirit of recrimination I'd like to nominate my good father (the old git) daddy papersurfer

[bob]

I nominate Jodie Marsh, cause she's looking for a new husband and obviously wants to be bullied some more. http://www.marryjodiemarsh.com/

Barring that, I humbly kneel before the selection gods ... if they be looking for an American expat to humiliate.

[furtive]

Bob

that is quite vile... thank you so much! :)

[the illustrious runner-up of big blogger 2005]

Very difficult to choose, but I'm going to nominate Betty of Betty's Utility Room: http://bettysutility.blogspot.com/

And as rules are there to be bent, I'm going to make a second nomination, so yah boo wotcha gonna do abahtit?

Salavdore Vincent of Smaller Than Life: http://smaller-than-life.blogspot.com/

[zed]

I'd like to nominate Ariel (up above, somewhere) and Vicus Scurra because this is my revenge on him, mwah ha ha ha!

[zed]

Oh, and the Twat can't take Quickos this time. He's still traumatised, poor baby.
