I find the red and green teams equally as unlikable, green have a real attitude problem – that’s clear to see. I was amused at them throwing their toys out of the pram and basically blaming the red team for them falling under the line – would it have killed them to take the 2 seconds required to do the maths to realise they were under the line regardless of the 2lb penalty. Could have saved themselves from looking even more daft than they already did.

To get an Acer Aspire netbook or not, that is the question. I have fancied one for ages now but as I don’t really need one I couldn’t justify the price – there’s a killer deal for one at the moment (a pink one no less!) so I am having a very hard time resisting – do I fight the urge or do I say to hell with it and treat myself? Hmm.

I am so glad I have found web hosting that I am happy with, because I hate moving hosts. I’ve done it several times over the years and no matter how experienced you get it’s still a stressful time – I run several sites (I think it’s actually 12 in total!) so getting everything moved over to the new webhosting provider can be a hassle, it can take a long time, it can be complicated and it can and often does go wrong. I have been with my current host for almost two years now and so far so good, fingers crossed it stays that way.
That’s not even to mention the hassle you have to go through in the first place in finding a new host. Finding companies, comparing what they offer on their plans, working out which is the best value for money.
I always rely on real user reviews when it comes to things like this because I know from experience a company can offer the world on their sales pages, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will deliver it. I’ve signed up to places before thinking they sounded awesome only for them to be completely useless.
Thankfully sites like WebhostingGeeks.com come in very handy for making it easier though, they list loads of the biggest and best known hosting providers and all are reviewed and rated by genuine users. The site has been around since 2004 so all the web hosting companies have lots of ratings and reviews already which is great news, a lot of these rating sites have about 3 reviews which for me just isn’t enough to be worth bothering with, you need a lot of reviews in my opinion to be able to get an accurate picture of things – they also have loads of web hosting news, guides and information available in their company blog.

Bob and Jillian annoy me more and more each episode. I think it’s safe to say my days of hero worshipping them are long gone.
They get far too involved in the drama and just seem to be being fake and acting the whole time.
Now don’t get me wrong that woman on the red team is annoying, every time she does a piece to camera I want to turn over, she seems like the sort of woman that you’d see coming towards you and groan and instantly start thinking about your escape strategy – she’s just so brash. But the whole “How dare you doubt us, we know everything” nonsense from Bob and Jill after she weighed in was ridiculous – no Boblian, you might know a lot but you don’t know everything. How many times have we had shots of them, hands on head, mouths wide open saying “I don’t know how that happened” after someone has weighed in? Either when they had done an amazing result or when they had done a poor one – there has been many times Bob and Jillian didn’t understand a result so they need to stfu!

It’s amazing how many Brits seem to go to America and come back having obviously stopped off at a Plano cosmetic dentist for some veneers. Not that I think that is necessarily a bad thing, it just seems like one of the ‘rules’ for Brits who want to make it in the States is that they have to get ‘perfect’ American teeth first.

I am not a religious person, I never have been and I imagine I never will be – I don’t believe in living my life in preparation for what could potentially be the next. I don’t believe in reincarnation, or heaven and hell – so I will live this life as I wish, thank you very much.
Having said that I do believe in karma and I don’t know why, it’s as ’silly’ a theory as most religion is to me – yet because I like the idea of it I choose to believe.
Any way, check out this Fictional movie site for believers in karma and reincarnation.

I am afraid as much as I was enjoying this series it’s now become pretty boring to me – as Sisqo said, it has become Big Vinnie’s House – very reminiscent of the control Carole had over BB8 (he worst series ever, btw).
They all do as he says. They all think how he tells them to. They all do his bidding.
Dane was becoming my favourite, but he’s so up Vinnie’s backside now it makes me sick.
You only have to look at the nominations to see his hand and influence in most of the votes.
With Sov gone (who was a tool, but at least she stirred them up and didn’t bow down to Vinnie) and Ivana (who I like a lot) and Stephen (total oddball, great TV) surely headed out the door on Friday I am wondering what there is in the final week left to watch.

One of the things that has struck me watching this years Celebrity Big Brother, I need to start using anti wrinkle creams and I need to start using them NOW!
It’s amazing how old and rough some of these people are looking, though I suspect the party lifestyle and drug use has as much to do with that as anything else

Speaking of dieting and the like – how about 4 months away with two of the best trainers in the world instead of fast weight loss pills – you can’t really get any better than that.
Yup that’s right, my favourite TV show ever is coming back in less than two weeks time. The Biggest Loser Australia season five kicks off on Janurary 31st and I can not wait.
I will miss Ajay though.
