Day 8: Pheobe Walks - Part II

It's fair to say it's been, to use a cliche, a rollercoaster ride of a first week. It started off with a couple of housemates who were too nosey for their own good and created second forum accounts, allowing them to see the outside world. This is a big no-no in Forum Sim Brother and the rule breaking housemates - Clyde and Pheobe - were warned and all housemates punished.

From day 3 onwards Clyde and Pheobe were more or less outcasts from the main group, constantly bitched about and argued with. On the evening of day 7 events came to a climax and Pheobe decided she could take no more. Following a day of heavy arguing, Nathan and Pheobe were having a conversation in the main forum about Desperate Housewives. Scotty and Jamie joined the convo and things immediately got heated.

Scotty and Jamie were annoyed that Pheobe had complained to Forum Sim Brother about their treatment of her after a week of arguing, heated conversations and bitching. Forum Sim Brother explained to Jamie and Scotty that Pheobe had been punished enough and they should move on. They didn't agree.

At 10.01pm, Pheobe explained her initial day 3 punishment, telling the group "The punishment was that someone else in the house had to give up their Golden Ticket, this made me enemy number one and forced me to be outcasted from the rest of the group. This punishment worked very well because I get constant negativity thrown at me still, that is what FSB means by me been punished enough."

Scotty replied "Well it clearly isn't enough in my opinion, you clearly don't regret any of it, you still go on like you used to and you still treat Jamie as if you've just scraped him off the bottom of your shoe. I am gonna just fucking ignore your entire existance now but what I've been doing of late is not jumping on EVERY post of yours, I've been jumping when you've been bitchy, if you want to have a fucking conversation then have one, I don't give a fuck. Just don't start bullying other people because that's what you've been doing. Now, I know it might not seem like it to you but you have been doing it to Jamie. That's fact."

Following Scotty's statement that Phoebe had been bullying Jamie, Jamie shot out "And what goes around comes around Phebo. So sit down, and shut up."

After a handful more posts, Pheobe posted her last public message at 10.21pm. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH JAMIE AND SCOTT JUST GO AWAY!!!! ME AND NATHAN WERE HAVING A LOVELY TIME IN HERE UNTIL YOU 2 CAME ALONG NOW JUST FUUCKKK OFF !!"

Pheobe headed straight to the Diary Room to confirm her departure. She told Forum Sim Brother "I just cant take it anymore, They are 2 bullies and they are still at it, I asked to leave over 24 hours ago therefore you can let me leave now, please dont say I have to stay in because I really dont want to, Just let me become a member of the forum public, i cant be a housemate anymore it is just too annoying!! So get back to me and tell me that I can go now please xx"

Forum Sim Brother replied, "Pheobe, Forum Sim Brother regrets how your time in the forum has come to an end. As of now, you are no longer a housemate and cannot post in the series 10 forum. The Big Mouth forum is now open for you to access. Goodbye, Pheobe."

Following this, Pheobe replied with one last message for the forum: "Goodbye everyone, Its been an interesting experience and I just want to tell Jamie and Scott that yes, this is because of you and I hope you are happy. Nathan I got on with you very well and I will miss you in this series :) NATHAN TO WIN FSB10!! Goodbye ;) X"

And with that, Pheobe departed Forum Sim Brother 10.

Day 7: Pheobe Walks - Part I

Pheobe has quit Forum Sim Brother on the evening of day 7, bringing to an end one of the most talked about and most controversial weeks in the shows history.

The drama unfolded in an evening which included a huge clash between Pheobe and her fellow housemates Scotty, Jamie and Thomas.

It all began when Thomas told Phoebe "I was nothing but nice to you until you cheated. I don't see the point in helping you anymore, you just slam it back in everyone's faces" which caused Phoebe to say "Thomas saying that I post in a bitchy way is being bitchy to me, why would I not react to that comment?". Scotty then got involved and told Phoebe "For someone that doesn't want to argue anymore you seem to be doing a helluva lot of it". Jamie then said "Saying that you post in a bitchy was IS NOT bitching, Phoebe. Seriously, how old are you? You need to grow the f*ck up, and stop arguing over NOTHING". Phoebe spat back "Shut the f*ck up Jamie, i am allowed my opinion, dont get involved in something that was NOTHING to do with you, p*ss of, I am sick of this constant anti-Pheobe brigade, f*ck you never talk to me again, ever".

Scotty then joked "Jamie? How about an "I hate Phoebe" club"? which caused a over whelmed Phoebe to say "Oh go ahead and do it, I dont care anymore, you guys are such bullies". Scotty then snarled "Shut the f*ck up and stop playing the victim, pr*cktits. You're an arsehole and the sooner you stop denying it to yourself the sooner you'll become less horrible. It's like watching a gay guy in the closet with you. You don't even know yourself". Phoebe then replied "Scotty that is horrible, you are horrible, please just leave me alone!! you cant see that you are a bully so maybe you should get to know yourself instead!". Scotty carried on however "I'm quite aware of who I am darlin'. Trust me, I'm a lot more aware of what I'm doing than you'll ever be. Stop the victim act, it's actually making me cringe". Phoebe then said "Playing the victim!? I am the victim of your constant bullying, stop taking the piss out of me all the f*cking time! I am sick of it!".

It didn't end there however as Scotty continued to express his hatred for the 18-year-old "You're not the victim of anything. You've f*cking caused it for yourself. What happened to ignoring everything I say anyway? How about actually going along with the things you say rather than changing your mind every five f*cking seconds? Maybe be real for a change?". Nathan tried to step in and cool things down by saying "This is going wayy to far guys, just drop it". However it continued. "She's the one that keeps replying when she says she isn't going to. I've never once said I'll back down. I did say if she took me on I'd win..." Scotty said.

Jamie then ranted "Phoebe. You HAVE to calm the f*ck down. I've done nothing wrong either. This is a FORUM. We aren't actually in a house together. Its easy to ignore a post. When did I say you wen't aloud an opinion? You go around putting words in people mouths, and making them look bad. No one has done anything to "hurt" you as this is a FORUM. Get a grip, or leave". Phoebe tried to reason by saying "Jamie I applied fot FSB10 to have fun, not to be constantly bullied by you and Scott with you constant comments about me, that is what you did wrong".

Scotty continued on "The only thing that gets to me about you, well the MAIN thing, not the only thing, is that you're quick to point out where OTHER PEOPLE are wrong and NEVER realise yourself. I am now willing to give this entire thing a break because I'm bored with it and to be honest, if you genuinely feel like you've been bullied then I'm sorry because I don't like someone to feel victimised by me. I just wanted you to know that I'm not gonna let you go around constantly on the warpath, I was only on the defence of other people most of the time, yeah there was the odd snide comment, but you insulted my f*cking race, I was bitter".

Day 7: Back to the Future

Yesterday Forum Sim Brother set the housemates a task to try and fix a broken time machine they have been given as a gift. The group were then transported back to 2006 during the fifth series of Forum Sim Brother where it was announced that "Scott" and "Sam" would face eviction that week. The housemates became confused and concerned considering both Scott and Sam had found golden tickets, they were unaware that they back to FSB5 where Scott faced eviction alongside fellow housemate Sam (a different one) in week four.

They then discovered that their task is to travel in time and to fix the time machine they had to give out the remaining golden tickets. They suprisingly gave Clyde and Phoebe a ticket which saved them from this weeks double eviction, however Will, Dan and Ross all face eviction on Thursday. Which two will go? And how will the housemates get out of 1999? Stay tuned for more news and developments.

Day 6: Getting Soppy: Part II

Earlier this afternoon whilst being alone in the forums both Nathan and Scotty got slightly soppy when they discussed sex and relationships. It all started when they spoke about not looking great on nights out. "I hate walking out looking rough a sh*t. So i always kind of hide my face for some reason when i leave a house like that. I just know that i'll see someone i know and seeing someone looking like a rat first thing in the morning is not my idea of heaven. God man, we sound like right sluts" said Nathan. Scotty replied "I am a bit of a slut. I don't mean to be, I just enjoy pulling people too much".

Nathan then expressed "You don't really care what anyone thinks; i wish i could be like that. I always do care lol, i'm happy to go out and meet someone etc, but when it comes to looking like sh*t in the morning or doing things more publically i hate it because i was always taught to 'give off a good impression'". Scotty the replied "Yeah, my relationships are ALWAYS awful, I seem to get attached to quickly to the ones who are arseholes and aren't in it for anything more than a quick ride. I'm not one to have sex right away, I'm actually quite reserved. I never go home with someone without the intention of at least seeing them again and getting to know them a bit better before making a decision. It doesn't happen that way, ever". Nathan then said "I've never had problems with relationships...until recently. Especially since i started my second year at college. I'm not gonna bore you with all the details, but at one stage i honestly went through the "is it my fault?" stage. You know, those where you think it must be you because three relationships you've have ended the same way?".

Scotty then revealed "I'm still getting used to being in relationships with guys, my most recent relationship was with a guy and he was the first one I'd seen more than 4 times. Relationships can f*ck with your head majorly". Nathan responded with "My longest relationship with a guy lasted 6 months. I love cuddling up in bed and just talking about random rubbish. It's such a great feeling". Scotty then agreed "Aww I know. I love being with a guy so I can lie on his shoulder. I'm such a sap that way. I'm unbelievably cuddly".

First Zoe's and Nathan's complimentary conversations and now this? What on earth will be next?

Day 6: The Aftermath

After Scotty told Phoebe exactly what he thought of her and that he wasn't going to even pay attention to her posts anymore she responded by calling Scotty a 'nasty c*nt'. This didn't go down too well however Phoebe finally retreated from the argument and from the forums. Scotty told her after the bad swear word was aimed at him, "Clearly, you f*cking threw what I did back in my face! I f*cking gave up my ticket for you, then tried to get everyone to lay off you then you f*cking go and say that you're gonna take me on!? Who the f*ck do you think you are, seriously!?.

Thomas then also said "Grow up, Pheo/oebe. Seriously. Grow up". Phoebe then left the forums but when she returned to the house when Scotty and Thomas were no longer around she still bickered with somebody else - last years first evictee Jamie. He told the controversial housemate when reffering to Thursday's eviction "Pheobe, I couldn't care less if you left or not!". Phoebe spat back "I didnt ask you, and I dont even know who you are so I too couldnt give a sh*t If you left or not". Jamie then responded by posting a forum emotion of a middle finger. Things went quiet there.

Will Phoebe ever go a day without rowing with somebody? Stay tuned to find out more.

Day 6: Everyday, a Little Bitching

Earlier today several of the housemates got together to discuss one of the most controversial housemates of all time - Phoebe. It all started when Scotty came online and read over what happened yesterday in the house he said "Did I just read that Phoebe called someone ELSE pathetic OH MY GOD, sorry but that's hilarious!" Thomas responded with "Pheo/oebe decided to have another go at people then? She reminds me of somebody...". Scotty continued to express his annoyance with the trouble maker by saying "Yeah she had another go because SHE was in the wrong and SHE was embarassed that she was caught again and that SHE is the person who's pathetic. But of course, in her eyes: FSB was wrong, WE should be embarassed and JAMIE is pathetic".

Joel also got involved with the Phoebe-bashing too. The first ever Forum Sim Brother winner said "Phoebe is a funny one...I'm still yet to actually have a conversation with her and yet I have such a bad opinion of her! I should have known back on Day 01 when she said facebook was for sad people that we would never get on". Scotty then said "She's trying too hard to be all outrageous and stuff. It's like on Launch Night she did not shut up about how much of a bitch she was. Clearly her view of an argument is calling people names and insulting their race, etc. instead of actually discussing the matter at hand. She's hopelessly immature and I doubt she'll grow out of it, she's so selfrighteous and believes in her own bullsh*t that nothing could change her somewhat inflated opinion of herself".

Phoebe responded to the comments when she came online and said "I'm not trying to be outrageous, and I'm not trying to act like a bitch, I probably have come across like that unfotunately. And you're right, I am a little immature and I fully admit that, hopefully you can forget my rants that I have when I get over excited and try get to know me better". Scotty however told her straight "I'm not gonna be civil to you, Phoebe, I seriously can't be arsed with you. The airs and graces are unnecessary because I genuinely can't be f*cked looking at what you've written anymore". Phoebe responded with "Ok fine, I tried to be civil and you just threw it back in my face, now dont talk to me again, you nasty c*nt".

So the housemates and well... Phoebe are still at each others throat. Will they sort things out? Or will more sparks fly if the housemates continue to hate Phoebe? We'll have to watch to find out.

Day 6: Pheobe Pops In

After a quiet, calm and relaxing day in the house where the majority of the housemates got together and shared conversations about their hobbies, likes and dislikes things soon got abit heated when Phoebe arrived for the first time since it was announced she had broke the rules for a second time. Many viewers and housemates were curious as to whether she would put her hand up and admit to her crimes or make up more excuses, she made up more excuses.

"Hello everyone" she said as he popped into the forum. Zoe wasted no time in confronting Phoebe and said to her "Yo Pheobe, gonna explain your second account yet or not?" and instead of admitting to it Phoebe again, defended herself. "what the hell are you talking about?". Zoe then advised her "Pheobe, I hope you're gonna be fair and just admit your real intent for making it, and not lie out of your arse this time, I think you owe us that". Phoebe then announced "Clyde made a second account, I'm not Clyde. I made a second account becuase I thought I was leaving and I was starting fresh on the forum, I told FSB this in a private message. There isnt more to the story, you can ask FSB yourself, thats why I dont understand he felt the need to announce it when he knew it wouild cause more trouble". Jamie then laughed "Ahh well. I'm past caring. I just found it a tad hilarious how in the first few days you were trying SO HARD to show that you were the "controversial" one, and that you would do anything for an argument.. But inside you're scared of being hated on the 'outside' ". Phoebe then replied "Thats not an excuse, I admit I made another one, I have posted why and it was dealt with so why did FSB feel the need to tell everyone in here?".

Forum Sim Brother was forced to announce that Phoebe too had made a second account as Clyde did out of fairness to all housemates. How will the other housemates respond to Phoebe's new excuses? Or are they beyond caring?

Day 5: Getting Soppy

Late last night in the house Zoe and Nathan were the only housemates online which caused the pair to bond and compliment one another on what they liked in each other. It all started when Zoe asked how Nathan's finding his time in the forum, he told her "Yeah i'm really enjoying it. I like that we've got a good group of people. I can see that a few of you will go really far in this. I know, there's one every year though. Not knowing what's going on outside makes it more exciting if you ask me". Zoe agreed "Yeah, not knowing is part of the fun of it! I'd say you're probably a contender to go far in this series, Nathan, you're a really nice guy. Personalities are really different, we have people like Pheobe and Scott who are controverisal-ish, and then there's the people who are so nice you can't help but like".

Nathan responded "Seriously?! Thanks Zoe, that's really nice of you to say. I actually think you'll go far, you're a nice girl and quite level-headed. I can't see myself going far really, there's a lot of big personalities in here and i think that it'll be someone like Scott, Funky Sam or you that'll make it till the end". Zoe then assured the Paris Hilton fan "Pfff, lol. Nah, you are obviously one of the most genuine people here! I hope you go far anyway, because you blatantly deserve to". Nathan was giving just as good compliments as Zoe as he told her "I really appreciate that Zoe, I really do. But I think you'd be suprised with yourself because you're just as genuine and you're here for the long run, I hope so anyway because you're lovely". Zoe then said "Aww, thank you Nathan, that means a lot to me".

Nathan then laughed "Jeez is it me or did we both get really soppy?"

Yes, extremely but there's nothing wrong with abit of friendship in the house.

Day 5: Nathan Confronts Clyde

After the announcement in the forum yesterday that both Clyde and Phoebe had again broke the rules by creating an outside account Clyde showed up on the forums again today and Nathan decided to confront him about why he broke the rules again even after he had tried hard to get Clyde to fit in. "Hey y'all! Morning!" Clyde said happily which caused Scotty to reply "You're pathetic". Clearly trying to avoid an argument Clyde then went offline.

It wasn't the end however as Clyde shortly returned in the task thread which caused housemates to ask why he did it, Clyde told them "Erm because I'm an idiot and I naturally break rules and I hate not knowing. I'm promising myself not to do it ever again". Nathan told him "I was really disappointed in you Clyde because i gave you the benefit of the doubt and told you to forget about it and start again, and you went and did it again; i just feel like an idiot to be honest". Clyde responded "I know you did, and honestly, I'm truly regretting it for a second time. I didn't mean to make so feel like an idiot in any way, it's all completely down to my own selfishness, impatience and stupidity". Nathan told him "You need to stop shooting yourself in the foot though Clyde, everyone was willing to let it go, I can't understand why you'd do it again. Don't you want to just enjoy yourself in here like the rest of us?" Clyde then told Nathan "I don't know, I think it's partly because of how I 'wasn't fitting in' and I guess I thought there'd be advice over there".

Nathan continued to express his disappointment by saying "I offered you advice though Clyde, i had a chat with you and told you to settle down with us and have a discussion with the group. You should've just spoke to me again, or you could've spoken to someone else if you wanted more advice" which caused Clyde to point out "I guess I don't have much common sense".

Phoebe is yet to respond to the housemates about her rule break, but with her being alot more fiesty than Clyde and after what happened on day three, sparks may be sent flying around the forum once again. Or will she come clean and admit she's been in the wrong? Stay tuned for more news and updates.

Day 5: Repeat Offenders

The rule abiding housemates were in for another shock tonight as Forum Sim Brother announced more cheating had taken place but that it wasn't someone else who had cheated. It was once again Clyde and Phoebe who had made another account to try and see the Big Mouth forum. Forum Sim Brother announced to the housemates "Clyde, you have continued to break the rules of the game and the forums by creating another second account. You are now exempt from the Golden Ticket task and will definitely face eviction next Thursday. Consider this your first and final warning. Any further rule breaking will lead to your immediate ejection".

The housemates responded in anger and annoyance with Sam saying "To be fair Clyde is probably a fake anyway" and down to earth Joel even made his opinions clear as he stated "Clyde why are you so desperate to know what the other forum members think? To be fair you haven't really contributed so what could they possibly be saying about you?". Nathan however was rather upset by Clyde's second rule break. "Ah, I feel so stupid. I kinda gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him to stay, he's just gone and thrown it in my face". Sam then said "What a pr*ck. He's really f*cked this up for himself now". Zoe also said regarding Nathan "Yeah, I feel kinda bad for Nathan. He went out of his way to let Clyde know it doesn't matter for Clyde to just throw it in his face".

It wasn't over though as Forum Sim Brother announced Phoebe broke the rules also, again. "In regards to the latest rule break, it should be pointed out that Pheobe too, created another second account last night. This happened after the first time she did it and after the initial group punishment. Her second account was discovered immediately, before she could even active it and the issue was dealt with in a private Diary Room conversation". Zoe then replied "Pheobe as well? Why am I not surprised?" Clyde and Phoebe have clearly angered Forum Sim Brother as he strictly threatened the housemates "From now on, any housemate who creates and activates a second account will be liable for immediate ejection from the game, as well as being banned from the entire SimTV forums".

Stay tuned for more news and developments as it happens.

Day 4: Clyde's Turn

Earlier today Clyde made his way to the forums and came straight out that he had cheated by creating an outside account he said - "Well, I guess y'all found me out. Okay, no excuses, I'm a bitch, and I don't deserve to be in this game. You can yell at me now" however the housemates thanked him for coming out and being honest about it.

Clyde didn't end it there however despite the fact he had got off quite lightly compared to how the other housemates reacted to Phoebe. Clyde went into the diary room and said "FSB, I want to consider leaving. Thank you". Nathan was quick to quiz the hyper guy from Texas and asked "Why do you want to leave Clyde?". Clyde responded "I just honestly don't fit in with anyone and I feel really guilty about 'cheating' and I can't stand to talk to everyone, knowing they've at least sort of forgiven me for something they shouldn't have forgiven me for" Nathan tried to convince him to stay by saying "It's only a forum game though Clyde, don't let it get to you so much. So you screwed up, you admitted you screwed up and apologised, so let's just move on from it now. Don't leave over it though, you'll regret it; and if you feel like you don't fit in, just come and have a chat with us or something". Zoe too also tried to convince Clyde to stay by saying "Clyde. Just join in, it's just a game".

Clyde told the group "I know, it's just I don't know how to approach all the situations" after which Nathan told him "Just come and talk to us in the main area". Clyde was eventually convinced and said "Ok. FSB, scratch that, I'll talk about it soon" as he left the diary room to join in with the debates in the living area. Some housemates reacted less friendly to Clyde's intentions to quiet. Jamie told Forum Sim Brother "FSB, what's the craze of walking out this year? Clyde, Pheobe, and Ross have now said they want to go? I dont quite understand. This is a GAME. It's not a big deal. If your in, I recommend you stay IN until your booted OUT. Or everyone will just think your a twat" Thomas agreed by saying "Threatening to walk doesn't even help you anyway, it just makes you look like an idiot to the voters".

So with three housemates asking to leave within the first four days will we see anybody depart from the forums? Or is it all just empty threats?

Day 4: Will She? Or Won't She?

As day three ended in the Forum Sim Brother house and after most of the housemates had headed offline Phoebe was one of the few still remaining on the forum. She arrived in the diary room and stated "FSB I have announced that I am leaving, please can you respond to my PMs". Soon after she returned and said "FSB im not leaving, read my reasons in the main house thread". She then came back for the third time and told Forum Sim Brother "Hi FSB, I think I want to leave for sure now, the more I think about it, the more I think I should leave and start a fresh". But then she shortly said "Okay, I will think about it". This clearly confused everybody as when Nathan spoke to the Forum Sim Brother about what was going on the boss of the house told him "Pheobe was considering leaving the forum. Again. She has now changed her mind. Again".

Stay tuned to the latest news in the house as it now looks like Phoebe is going to stay.

Day 3: Cheaters Exposed

The forum was thrown into chaos earlier this evening as Forum Sim Brother made a shocking announcement to the forum. "At least one housemate (Pheobe) has created a second forum account, allowing her to view the Big Mouth forum in the process" Forum Sim Brother told the group, they were also informed that all of them would be punished as a result. The revelation that Phoebe had cheated caused uproar in the house especially from Scotty. "That girl needs to get a f*cking grip of herself. Seriously!? What's the f*cking point in it! The idea is that you're not meant to f*cking know you stupid f*cking cow! Seriously!? Get a f*cking grip!". Scott continued to let out his rage at Phoebe for cheating as he posted "I tried being f*cking nice to her. I bet she was laughing in my face, the c*nt". When Nathan admitted that not everything was as it seems Scott replied - "Doesn't f*cking surprise me. She's a knobend".

Forum Sim Brother then told the group that Phoebe was not the only cheater. It was revealed that hyperactive Clyde from Texas has also created another account to view the Big Mouth forum. Scott then told Nathan after the second cheater announcement that he now also hated Clyde.

Phoebe nor Clyde were online at the time to make a statement on what they had done.

Day 3: Task: Picture Perfect

It's the second night in the forum and all is quiet. However, Forum Sim Brother has just announced their second task and it's a good one!

Housemates, today's task revolves around your profile pictures.

- Each housemates must describe how they look facially in as much description as much possible.
- Housemates must then paint another housemate in Microsoft Paint, based on the description they gave.

The rules to the task
- Housemates are not allowed to draw themselves in Microsoft Paint.
- Housemates can draw no more than 3 other housemates in Paint.
- Housemates are forbidden from using Photoshop effects on anything similar.
- Housemates can provide pictures rather than descriptions if they so wish.

When housemates have finished drawing each other they must post the picture in the Diary Room. If housemates do not post a description/picture of themselves by 9pm BST then housemates should just make up a picture.

Housemates have until midnight BST to complete the task. The task room is now open to discuss and complete the task.


Check back tomorrow night to see what kind of pictures the housemates came up with. We're sure there will be some hilarious and horrific ones in the mix.

Day 3: Pheobe Confronted

Earlier this evening after the housemates reacted to news that Phoebe and Clyde had both cheated by creating accounts to see the outside world, Phoebe, who had no idea that she had been discovered entered the forums in good spirits but it wasn't long before she was confronted by her fellow housemates, hard.

"Hello b*tches" she said playfully as she arrived which caused Scotty to say to her "Piss off. Seriously". Phoebe became confused by this and responded "Who me?". After Scotty said the following "No the other cow that made another account to see the outside world. Yes you!" she protested her innocence and said "Made an account to see the outside world? No I didn't!". Zoe let her feelings to Phoebe's cheating clear too as she posted "Bitches? A little rich coming from you". Phoebe continued to defend her decision to create a new account by saying "I made a new account to use the new name 'marple', not to cheat. I didnt know it was agaisnt the rules to make a new account ? Is it?". However her fellow housemates were having none of it. Scotty ranted at her "Bulls*it. Seriously just f*ck off. It's not like anyone actually gives a f*ck anyway. P*ss off. D'you think we're thick as sh*t?".

Zoe agreed and suggested to Phoebe "Come on Pheobe, don't play dumb. The least you can do now you've been sussed out is admit to it". Phoebe didn't listen however and continued to defend her actions by stating to Forum Sim Brother in the diary room "I'm sorry but I honestly didnt know that it was agaisnt the rules to make a new account, can I change my name 'Pheobe' to 'Marple' - I want to use 'Marple' in honour of my grandma". When Scotty told her exactly what he thought of her reaction she snapped "Shut the f*ck up Scotty, It is not bullsh*t, Its true, you dont have to believe me but dont talk to me like that because I WILL bite back you pr*ck".

Scotty replied "Go for it. I'd like to see you hold yourself in an argument with me". Phoebe responded with "You dont scare me Scotty, I would love to have an argument with you, I'll win, I always do". Thomas got involved with the argument too and said to Phoebe "Go on then - try us. Try facing all ten of us. In fact, I dare you." With Scotty, Zoe and Thomas all confronting Phoebe angrily over her actions she finally snapped with "Scotty your just such a c*nt, I wont even try explain myself or apologise to you as you are a truly horrible person, As for the others I will apologise because my stupid misatke has gotten you all into trouble, but even if you dont believe me at least hear me out when I tell you that I honestly did not make the account to cheat, I promise you, I wouldnt even know how to cheat and wouldnt bother, its a game, I wouldnt stoop so low".

Stay tuned for more news from the house and to see what Clyde will have to say for himself.

Day 3: The Golden Twist

It's been a busy first 24 hours in the forum. 12 housemates were thrown in on launch night, a massive twist was revealed, the housemates had a little debate about Facebook and they got their first task on day 2. Lets go back to the Golden twist though. This is what Forum Sim Brother told the housemates on launch night.

Later tonight 10 Golden Tickets will be scattered throughout the 40,000 posts on the SimTV Forums. From midnight tonight until this Saturday at 10pm, ALL housemates must try to find 1 Golden Ticket each. The housemates who do not find a Golden Ticket* will be put up for eviction. These housemates will be put into a lottery draw. A housemate from this lottery draw will be evicted at random on Thursday 8th July.

Forum Sim Brother will open the search at midnight tonight.

*In the event all housemates discover a Golden Ticket, then the last 3-5 housemates who find a Golden Ticket will be entered into the draw.


So last night 10 tickets were scattered throughout the forums and the housemates went into a mad rush trying to find them. So far Joel, Scotty, Nathan, Zoe, Jamie and Funky Sam have found Golden Ticket, leaving Clyde, Dan, Pheobe, Will, Ross and Thomas to look for one.

Would you rather be beautiful and dumb, or ugly and smart? Why?
Ugly and smart. Brains more than looks. Looks are only going to get you so far in life, and then your going to run out of things to do with yourself.

Who do you most admire in your life and why?
My family and friends. They influence me in so many ways. I love my mum and dad. I have such a great relationship with them both, and i couldn't live without them in my life.

Are you a leader or follower?
Neither. At the end of the day, everyone follows someone else. Either it be with a dress sense, a hair cut, or the way they talk. I dont. I do what suits ME best. And what i want to do. I dont let anyone change my course.

How happy are you?
I am a very happy teenager. Iv got a life like no other boy i know has. I have been brought up around girls, and my best friend is a girl. When something goes wrong with someone else I'm always the one they come to for advise, and that makes me happy. I wouldn't swap my like for anyone.

Hate to bring her up again, but Beyonce. Shes beautiful in her skin, body, and soul. And boy can she SING!!!

My computer. My phone. And my wardrobe!

Is popularity important to you?
Not really. What happens happens. And what other people think of me is none of my business.

What annoys you most about other people?
Some things annoy me more than others. I cant stand someone who doesn't listen. And someone that doesn't care for other people's feelings. I also cant stand when people force arguments, just to make them selfs look better, or 'harder'.. I hate that to, the "Il batter you" attitude. At the age of 14 and up i think people have to understand fighting is the most immature thing on this earth.

Which TV character are you most like?
Kurt from 'Glee'. (Not the gay part of him.. ) .. But he likes to sing, dance, and walks around school with a smile on his face, no matter who puts him down.

Lady GaGa - just look at her, she's magnificent.

What annoys you most about other people?
When they do things that other people do and don't think for themselves, they just suck up every part of another person and reproduce it, it actual revolts me those people that say they're being individual, even though they look exactly the same as every one of their fucking friends, seriously, get to fuck, there's no need, use your own fucking head and make something of yourself!

Spongebob but with the attitude of the women on Maury.

What are you most passionate about in your life?
To be honest i'm passionate about almost everything in my life. I wouldn't be initially attracted towards something if i didn't have a passion for it or if i wasn't passionate about it. If i could pick one thing that i'm passionate about, it's my will to try and make my mum proud of me .

Would you rather be beautiful and dumb, or ugly and smart? Why?
I would rather be Beautiful & dumb; mainly because the majority of ugly & smart people aren't remembered as much as the beautiful ones. I'm not saying there is nothing wrong with being ugly & smart, it's just i'd prefer beautiful and dumb.

Who do you most admire in your life and why?
My mum; to see someone go through so much hell and come out of it fighting; she's like a super hero to me. I love my mum dearly and i'd do anything for her.

Are you a leader or follower?
Hmmm, i'd say a leader. Mostly because i'm not swayed people what other people say, i stick to my guns and that makes me a leader, i don't follow what other people say, i'm very individual with my thoughts and opinions.

How happy are you?
Very happy, everything is just amazing right now /

Who is the best looking celebrity?
Hmmm, i'd say a cross between Paris Hilton, Cheryl Cole & Jesse McCartney.

If you were a sandwich, what sandwich would you be?
Ham and Mustard; because it tastes awesome but bite off more than you can chew and you can expect to get burnt.

Your house is on fire. You can save 3 things (not people). What are they?
My laptop, my TV and i'd throw a few clothes out the window too.

Is popularity important to you?
I like people to think good of me because i do mean well with most of the things i do; i wouldn't say being popular is very important to me, but i do like to be appreciated.

What annoys you most about other people?
I hate really aggressive people that go out of their way to make other people miserable. I people that generally dislike someone because of their wealth & beauty. I hate those kind of people that convince you that they like you; then you look into their eyes and know that secretly; they hate you.

Which TV character are you most like?
None, i'm too much of an individual to liken myself to anyone. I have certain qualities from certain characters, but we could be here all night.

What are you most passionate about in your life?
I'm passionless, well, I wouldn't say that, it's more like I don't really have anything I'm passionate about, suppose wiping out people who dislike the taste of Pineapple, but then I'd have to kill some pretty close friends so I don't think I could do that.

Would you rather be beautiful and dumb, or ugly and smart? Why?
Ugly and smart, because I could probably make more money through my intelligence than my beauty, and get more respect off people.

Pixie Lott, d'uh.

If you were a sandwich, what sandwich would you be?
Egg salad

Your house is on fire. You can save 3 things (not people). What are they?
My laptop, 'cause it's the most expensive thing that I personally own and the receipt would probably burn or something, there's probably a pineapple in the house so I'll save that, and I'll save one of my cats, because he's not a person, is he? He's a cat.

Is popularity important to you?
No, I'd rather be genuinely respected by a few people than appreciated for whatever reason by a bunch of people who probably don't even know me.

I would rather be beautiful and dumb because first impressions are everything and your looks play a huge part in that, Also if you are beautiful you dont have to be smart because you can simply marry a rich man

I most admire my parents as they have given me everything I have ever wanted in life. Including a pink mini convertable

Housemate: Funky Sam

Name: Sam
Age: 17
Location: Northamptonshire
Occupation: Student
Religion: Christian
Political views: Liberal

FAVOURITES
Music: Lady GaGa
TV: Big Brother, The Apprentice, Shameless, Desperate Housewives
Movie: Avatar, Shawshank Redemption
Book: N/A
Food: Chocolate, curry
Colour: Blue

What are you most passionate about in your life?
Probably my girlfriend but Lady Gaga comes a close second.

Would you rather be beautiful and dumb, or ugly and smart? Why?
Ugly and smart probably, simply because you can alter your looks but you can't alter you're intelligence. I'd always respect an intelligent person over some stupid twat who is only good looking.

Who do you most admire in your life and why?
I don't want to go on about her but I admire Lady Gaga as I think she has gone through alot in her life and faces critism yet she makes amazing music and inspires her massive fan base to be what they want to be in life. Little monster & proud haha.

Are you a leader or follower?
It depends on situation but I do prefer to be a leader, it's so much easier if everything is done the way I want. If a leader in a team I'm in does something slightly wrong, I always want to overrule their decision and do the job my way. I'm not always right but if I think I am I will make sure that it is done that way.

How happy are you?
Pretty happy, not some annoying happy clappy idiot though. Say if someone has just broken up with their boyfriend, I would find it hard to console them as I'm not good in situations. But overall i'm generally optimistic and happy - i have no time for moody, depressed people who bring the mood down.

Who is the best looking celebrity?
Eva Longoria Parker, I even have a selection of photos of her up on my bedroom wall titled the 'Eva Shrine'. She is god damn sexy.

If you were a sandwich, what sandwich would you be?
Jam, because i'm sweet haha. Not really a great fan of sandwiches mind you.

Your house is on fire. You can save 3 things (not people). What are they?
A piece of clothing of some description, I would probably spend ages whilst burning alive trying to decide what piece. Rayban sunglasses as they are too expensive and lovely to lose in a fire. Then something sentimental like a cuddly toy or sumin that means alot to me.

Is popularity important to you?
I wouldn't go out of my way to suck people's arses to become popular but it's always nice for people to know your name and to respect you. I've never been crazily popular but i've always had a great set of friends. I've never really had any enemies either.

What annoys you most about other people?
I despise arrogance and people who walk around like they're god's gift. Also I find small things annoying in people, sometimes I end up hating the person simply from that reason. For example, hypocrisy annoys me in alot of people. Also something which will impact my annoyance in the forum - when people don't respect spelling and grammar. Easy, simple spelling mistakes really grate on me and I will have to say something - it's simply laziness.

Which TV character are you most like?
Peter Griffin.. haha i wish. I had a long think about this but maybe a male Gabrielle Solis out of Desperate Housewives because she cares alot about money and material things but through all of that her main importance in life is her family and friends. I'm pretty much like that. She's god damn sexy aswell haha no.

Tuesday 29 June 2010

Day 1: Meet the Housemates

Forum Sim Brother 2010 kicked off in style this evening with its biggest and most anticipated launch show ever. Between 8pm and 9.30pm Forum Sim Brother filled the forum up with a mix of housemates ready for a summer of fun, tasks, arguments, twists, nominations, evictions and more. We'll have full housemate profiles available by the end of day 2, but until then here's our guide to this years crew.


Clyde - a 17 year old, bisexual, flamboyant Texan
Dan - a 25 years old gay PA who's starred in gay porn
Funky Sam - 17 years old, won Forum Sim Brother 7
Jamie - 15 years old, loves Beyoncé, first evicted in 2009
Joel - 20 years old, drama student, won Forum Sim Brother 1
Nathan - 18 years old, bisexual, tried to split his parents up when younger
Pheobe - 18 years old, bisexual, confrontational, loves Beyoncé
Ross - 16 years old, gay, very opinionated, from Australia
Scott - 19 years old, controversial housemate from Forum Sim Brother 5 in 2006
Thomas - 14 years old, a natrual group leader
Will - 15 years old, was once chased through the straights drunk
Zoe - 14 years old, loves pineapple and Pixie Lott

They all settled into the forum a short while ago. We're sure you'll agree it looks set to be a great summer and we'll keep you updated right here with the latest news, housemate profiles, eviction votes, videos and more!

Ex-Housemate Interview: Sam

For one of our final ex-housemate interviews we caught up with Forum Sim Brother 9 runner up Sam!

How did you find your time in the forum?
It was fantastic and I enjoyed it so much more than FSB5, I had alot of rows but the things I look back fondly on the most are the fun chats I had with Dan and Karl late at night, they were fantastic. Walking was a big mistake but finishing runner up to Sophie was amazing!

What were your favourite and least favourite aspects of being a housemate?
I enjoyed not knowing a thing about what FSB was planning and I hated not knowing a thing that FSB was planning. If that makes any sense, at first I'd thought I'd be disliked for my rows almost instantly with "Jackuary" but it turns out people found them funny, so that's kinda cool.

If you could do it all again what you do differently?
I wouldn't walk for one - I'd also try and have more fun with people and ignoring things that people do to annoy me rather than bring it up to them all the time.

What do you hope to see from Forum Sim Brother in 2010?
Some amazing twists. We've had some great ones in the past such as the Haunted House and Golden Ticket in FSB5 and doing tasks to decide the amount o money the winner will recieve in FSB9. I'd like to see a nice big twist come back and I'd also like to see some back to basic tasks too, I remember fondly how fun they were a few summers back.

If you could enter the forum again as a housemate, would you?
Hell yeah, for an All Stars series I'd love too.

What advice would you give to housemates about to enter the forum this summer?
Be yourself and don't game plan or cheat in any way. If there's one thing that puts people off you is game playing, cheating and being nasty to people or no reason. Don't do any of them then you last a good few weeks.

What kind of housemates do you hope Forum Sim Brother will put in?
Some nasty game playing bitches, some hyperactive and annoying housemates and of course some decent normal down to earth guys too. I think that was the one downside to last year, other than maybe Sophie was very hyper and happy all the time we didn't have many odd housemates last year, mostly everyone was normal. It worked great but I'd like to see a different bunch this year - bring on the Sunshine's and the Reece's!

Will you be watching Forum Sim Brother this year?
Try and stop me...

Series 10 Teasers

The biggest, bestest launch of Forum Sim Brother ever is a mere skip and jump away, but before that we're releasing the annual set of housemate clues. So what's in store this year?

- The youngest housemate is 14, the oldest is 25 and the average age of all the housemates is 18.
- At least six are bisexual, 1 is gay and the rest are straight.
- They come from 5 countries, including America
- Half of the housemates are new, half are from previous series

Fancy some more specific details? Well most of the housemates say they're confrontational and natural leaders whilst a few say they do their own thing rather than follow a crowd or lead. Some housemates have strong views on political parties and are either very anti-labour or anti-conservative. The housemates have been involved in some crazy exploits too, whether it's splitting their parents up, being chased through the streets drunk by police and dogs or starring in a gay porn video. And they all, or mostly all, have one thing in common: a love for a certain Lady.

Finally, with launch night now under 20 hours away we've got some first week teasers for you. 12 housemates will enter the forum later today and the first eviction will take place on Thursday 8th July. However the housemates won't be nominating for the first time until Friday 9th July and all 12 housemates will be involved in the first round of nominations. The viewers will have more control over the housemates than ever before and the housemates will get the chance to change the rules of the game like never before.

Forum Sim Brother 10: The Live Launch - tonight at 8.00pm!

Ex-Housemate Interview: Magenta

How did you find your time in the forum?
I'm a member of 3 more forums and I must say that Sim TV is my favorite! Everybody is very nice in here, there are no stupid arguments (at least not often :lol: ) and everybody is very creative, which isn't so surprising because this is a forum on which it's members make shows and movies with sims. And I really enjoy talking with creative people so that makes Sim TV my favorite forum! :D

What were your favourite and least favourite aspects of being a housemate?
My favorite aspect of being a housemate definitely was meeting a lot of different new people. Also I liked the tension and the excitement in the show because you never knew who's going to be evicted and stuff like that... What I didn't like was that in some way I was cut from the rest of the forum. And I was a bit paranoid that everybody I speak to thinks: ''Oh my God,she's so stupid.'' and ''Why is this moron speaking to me?'' because and I really didn't know what people think of me.

If you could do it all again what you do differently?
As I said on one occasion earlier I definitely wouldn't game plan. Although it was only experiencing the game for me I ruined my friendship with Sam that way.

What do you hope to see from Forum Sim Brother in 2010?
I hope to see one very cruel, nasty and evil Sim Brother! And also a lot of new and interesting housemates. I hope that there won't be any walkers or ejected housemates because it ruins FSB for me in some way.

If you could enter the forum again as a housemate, would you?
I think you know my answer Stew. Of course I would! That was one of best experiences in my life. :)

What advice would you give to housemates about to enter the forum this summer?
Be yourself and under any circumstances don't act like Jack from our season! :mrgreen: Also try to be as interesting and funny as you can and instead saying ''Hi'' and ''How are you?'' make constructive posts, which were rarely seen in our season.

What kind of housemates do you hope Forum Sim Brother will put in?
I hope for big diversity between housemates. That could lead to some very interesting arguments. And I hope everyone is going to provide something unique to the house.

Will you be watching Forum Sim Brother this year?
Of course I'll watch it! :D Thanks for the interview!

Ex-Housemate Interview: Jack/January

In the run up to the brand new series we're catching up with housemates from years gone by. First up is one of the most controversial housemates Forum Sim Brother has ever seen - January/Jack from Forum Sim Brother 9.

How did you find your time in the forum?
I really enjoyed my time in the house, I had a lot of arguments and ups and downs, but it really is a great experience, you meet a lot of new people and it's awesome!

What were your favourite and least favourite aspects of being a housemate?
Well, I was an idiot in the house, because if you were a viewer, you know, I lied my way in, and I got what I deserved. Despite that, my favorite aspect was meeting and making friends in there, and the tasks and twists, there are so many good things I done in that house.

If you could do it all again what you do differently?
I would just be myself and not go in with the big ego and just be me, and then see how far I go. I got quite far last year, missing the final by a week, but that wasn't me, that was someone else, that was a stupid idiot, and if i went in again, I definitely would not do that again.

What do you hope to see from Forum Sim Brother in 2010?
I hope to see some really good twists, that really effect the housemates, I would also like to see some good characters, not ones that will make the whole series about them, but you know, a selection of bitches, and some nice people and then just one big personality clash, I think that would really make this series exciting!

If you could enter the forum again as a housemate, would you?
Yes I would, but as myself, and then see how far I got. I think it would be interesting as I didn't do well myself last time as myself, because I lied, but, I really have changed and it would be interesting.

What advice would you give to housemates about to enter the forum this summer?
Don't show off just yet, if you are a bitchy character who wants all the attention, don't ruin it for yourself on the first night, keep quiet till people get all there first impressions of you then, start coming out your shell, but if your a nice, out-there person, then just be yourself from start till your evicted, or till you maybe even win! You'll never get anywhere if your not yourself.

What kind of housemates do you hope Forum Sim Brother will put in?
I hope for a real mix, but I hope that this year, that we have the biggest bitch! We have had bitches before, but It would be interesting if we had a really big bitch to stir everything up!

Will you be watching Forum Sim Brother this year?
Ofcourse I will! I can't wait for it to start! Bye! And good luck to all of this years housemates!

The Winners of FSB: Part 1

Forum Sim Brother's been around since August 2004. That's six years, nine series, over 50 housemates and eight winners. As we approach series 10, we're taking a trip down memory lane. Join us as we look at each series and those who have emerged triumphant from the forum of Forum Sim Brother.

SERIES ONE: JOEL
It all started back in August 2004. Joel's the original winner of Forum Sim Brother from way back when. The level headed, laid back, musical loving guy came out on top ahead of housemates who wouldn't shut up for more than 5 seconds (hello James!) and those who mysteriously disappeared (bye Lance!).


SERIES TWO: ANDREW
Several months on and Forum Sim Brother threw up another series, this time seeing Andrew take the crown beating the likes of Huckool and Cosmo. It was a series filled with fierce debates and Andrew was, for a short moment, centre stage after being accused of sending a death threat to a fellow housemates. He didn't, he was proved innocent and went on to win.

SERIES THREE: JASON
It was the summer of love in 2005 as a bromance was struck up between winner Jason and everybody's favourite drama queen Mike. Of course there still plenty of arguments but there's one night in particular that nobody who watched series 3 will ever forget. We haven't looked at a six pack of beer the same way again. And probably never will.

Join us for part 2 when we look at the winners from series 4 to 6 later in the week.

10 Days to Go!

As of today, Saturday 19th June, there are just 10 days to go until the launch of Forum Sim Brother 2010. TEN! Now that the final countdown has started to the new series it's time to stop being hush hush and unleash some news about what's to unfold over the coming weeks.

Forum Sim Brother is currently in the process of selecting the final batch of housemates so keep a look out for any emails and private messages over the next few days. And don't worry if you haven't auditioned, you still can. We're always on the look out for housemates because you never now when you're going to need a new one. Here's where you can send us your details if you fancy a summer under the control of Forum Sim Brother.

So what can we tell you about what Forum Sim Brother has planned? There are no groundbreaking changes afoot - you know the saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And we think you'll agree Forum Sim Brother 9 was no broken series. There are some small changes coming up though such as a much more mischevious Forum Sim Brother. Evil Forum Sim Brother even. Tasks are bigger than they've ever been before. Mini twists are going to be deployed here and there so housemates will need to be on the constant lookout. Of course the usual format of all housemates nominating, public evicting remains very much the same. Right? Well, sort of.

As for the house - which you're going to get a sneak peak at when the countdown adverts begin airing - it's quite possibly the most amazing Forum Sim Brother house ever. Like, ever ever. And we'll have it ready for download on launch day.

And finally, what are the housemates like? Well since they're still being selected we can't say for sure but here are some tidbits from the auditions from housemates. Some of these guys will make it into the house, some won't.

"I can be quite bossy and am not afraid to take charge."

"I'm quite stubborn and if I know i'm right I will do anything to prove it."

"I tried to split my parents up when i was in high school; a condom and a womans phone number in my step-dad's pocket really worked."

"I had sex with one of my university tutors to get better grades. Did it work? Let me into the forum and you'll find out. ;)"

"I've been chased through streets by police and dogs very drunk."

"They [family/friends] all think I'm quite tough but I can be really big cry baby sometimes."

"Stewart is amazing."

"My parents don't know that I failed all my exams and my friends don't know when my birthday is."

"I've met Kylie Minogue."


Sounds like quite a bunch, yes? Let us know what kind of housemates you want to see most in the new series in the forums. We'll be launching the 10 day countdown to the 2010 series later today with a look at one of the rooms in full so make sure you check back soon.

Launches 29th June!

Forum Sim Brother launches its massive tenth series on Tuesday 29th June at 8pm - just three weeks away! Auditions are underway HERE and will remain open for the next few months (you never know when you'll need a new housemate!). However, if you want to appear as a housemate on opening night, the sooner you audition the better. Unfortunately a technical error has meant all audition applications from before mid-May have been lost. Apologies for any inconvenience, but you will have to audition again.

The picture above is a sneak peak at the brand new house - it shows the bedroom which has its walls decorated with villians from horror movies. All other details about the new series are being kept under wraps for now!

FSB10: Audition Now

Forum Sim Brother is back for a massive tenth series this summer and, as per normal, the shows image has been given a revamp. The new logo for the 2010 summer series is all circular and multi-coloured with a black background. To get a good look at the eye in all its glory, click the image to the left.

Along with the new logo, the tenth series needs a new batch of housemates. Auditions are now open and will remain open until the beginning of June. Audition here for your chance to become a housemate. We'll email all applicants in the middle of May with more information about the audition process.

We've got the logo and auditions covered, what about the series itself? Well it launches in mid June and aims to run for 9 weeks. The series slogan is "Bigger. Better. Bolder." Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more housemates. Better is a reference to some pretty big, good tasks and twists that Forum Sim Brother has lined up (remember last years record breaking task failing housemates?). And bolder is an indication that Forum Sim Brother will be stamping his authority all over the forum and its housemates this summer. Evil Forum Sim Brother from 2005 is making a comeback, of sorts, but we're sure the cheeky personality from last year is still there too.

Oh, and last week we managed to sneak a few pictures of the house whilst it was being built. And we've got the Forum Sim Brother 9 house from last year availble to download. To see the new house being constructed and get the FSB9 house download, check back at the end of the week!
