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...

Oops, that wasn't her, it was me!

What a bizarre idea. Bizarre, pointless, and somehow completely captivating. Just my cup of tea, in fact. I'd like to nominate myself please, if I may...
If it helps matters at all, I'm a 32 year old bloke from the North East of England, with a wife, two kids and two cats, who likes the sound of his own voice.
If it doesn't help matters, ignore that bit :-)
