La Toya Jackson

[CaptainWacky]

Seems a bit livelier than Jermaine was. Seems like a nice enough person, should do okay.

 

[whisky]

Looked a bit out of her depth, I can see her asking to leave

 

[CaptainWacky]

She obviously didn't have a clue who anyone was or what the show was about.

I noticed she put her bag in the private bedroom, even though Davina said at the end that the Head of House gets the private bedroom, so could be a fuck-up already.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Unless the luxury bedroom is different from the private one?

I liked her intro with the bodyguard.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

She used to be utterly batshit crazy and a complete space cadet.

Is she more down to earth now, or does she sil wear pastel-colored silk headbands that match her pastel-colored silk Golden Girls jacket and leggings?

 

[CaptainWacky]

She is looking a bit spacey on the live feed!

Yeah, the luxury bedroom is different.

 

[Cassie]

Her brother should have warned her.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

She seems a lot like Michael in some ways. Looks like him a bit (surgery?), has a funny laugh and is all together kooky.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Yeah, for every procedure Michael had, she had one too. But she had a big fat greasy manager/husband controlling her back in the day. Not sure who's behind the wheel of her crazy train these days...

 

[Mentalist]

She has screwed Mike over in every way imaginable and he has always forgiven her.


LaToya's story is a sad one. She desperately wanted to be a success in the same vein as Michael (a tall order to begin with) and then her younger sister went and did what she had repeatedly failed at.

As you can imagine that would sting a lot and for LaToya it did.


Add to that a few mental breakdowns and a super abusive boyfriend who controlled her every action and beat the shit out of her and it's a miracle she survived at all.

She seems to be doing a lot better these days and had seemed to finally accept her role in life though agreeing to go on CBB throws that theory in the air a bit.


No idea what she will be like in the house..Will have to wait and see.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Maybe she's just doing the show for the money.

I would be interested to see this show just to see how she behaves in the house after several days, just to see what's underneath a Jackson's extremely constructed persona. I'm not being mean, I agree with all of your assessment above, Menty. I would just find it interesting.

Any way us Yanks can see episodes or clips online? (Other than constantly searching YT)

 

[Mentalist]

There is almost always a few dedicated people uploading on Youtube who will get all the episodes up neatly on one account.


I just hope she doesn't undo all of Jermaine's efforts from his stint in the house since he was a Zen master of calm, collected and thoroughly decent human being in a house full of morons.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is she wearing a wig?

 

[Grammour Boy]

Seems a bit livelier than Jermaine was. Seems like a nice enough person, should do okay.

I thought she'd be snobby and standoffish, but actually she's one of the cool ones.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Evicted.

 

[EnglishRose]

She was duller than I was expecting.

 

[CaptainWacky]

A-hehehehe!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I liked her up until she bitched about the seating arrangements at the inauguration. If you want to sit somewhere else, then sit there, don't just get pissed off after the fact, sigh and say "you can't say anything...". Didn't you listen to Obama? YES WE CAN!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

All the fawning over her from Davina and on BBLB and such annoyed me too. If she was really THAT great she would have gotten more votes than Tommy fucking Sheridan.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Ulrika Johnsson is more popular than one of the Jacksons.

This is end of the world stuff.
