JON TICKLE - NEWS
This is a homage to the legend that is Jon Tickle, Ex-Big Brother Housemate, Oboe player, Inventor, Star Wars Guru and confirmed Genius. We wanted Jon to win Big Brother, he didn't. We still love him though. Long live the Tickle.

THE LATEST TICKLE NEWS
24/07/2003
Today is the LAST DAY of BB4. Jon is still in the house but is supposed to be first out before the finalists get voted out. A Channel 4 source has confirmed that allowing Jon a last minute vote, (ie opening the line 09011 21 44 05
today and allowing Jon fans a final desperate attempt to let him win) has been considered as an option. We'll find out today if this is true.
If it is then Text VOTE JON to 85444 or call 09011 21 44 05, hey do it anyway, show your devotion.
Either way it's definately, absolutely Jon's last day in the house and we are travelling down to the eviction so we can be there when he gets out, hold onto his lovely little ankles and never, ever let go.

Jon had nothing good to say about Cameron in his diary entry today.
"I can't tell where the fake Cameron ends and the real Cameron begins.....either he doesn't deserve to win because he's a wet little rag, or he doesn't deserve to win because he's pretending to be a wet little rag."
Reading between the lines, and this is purely speculation, I don't think Jon wants Cameron to win. Jon is still backing Scott to win - "I want Scott to win. I think he's an absolutely tremendous bloke, there's not a bad bone in his body. He deserves to win. I wish there were more people like him in this world, it'd be a much better place."

Ray shaved Jon's head today.
21/07/2003
Jon gave some great answers in his ten minute diary room task......
On 'do you beleive in life after death?'-
"No, absolutely not. Give me an experiment that proves it and I might grudgingly admit it as a possibility. All religeous types are sadly deluded. They are just weak-minded....people who can't handle that 'this is it'"......
Jon may have alienated his large following among the religeous community.
Later he said -"I'm feeling a certain degree of sexual frustration at the moment. I'm a man, what can I say?"
Big brother then began "Jon, Big Brother is always there for you...." and Jon broke into raucous laughter.
"I thought you were going to say something else. I know Big Brother's always there, but that's a step too far!"
19/07/2003
Today's live task yet again showed Jon in all his glory. He offered to answer the 5 questions in the diary room (oddly he only got 3 out of 5, it must have been fixed) and he only took 37 seconds to find the first needle in the haystack, then Scott spent 4 and a half minutes sweating and wasting time. Jon rules.
You can now vote for who you want to win Big Brother, Email Channel 4 and tell them you think Jon should be able to win, in the mean time keep trying to ring the number that WOULD have been Jons if he was up for winning - , it annoys BT if nothing else.
18/07/2003
After the debacle of Ray pulling down Jon's boxers and exposing the Tickle tackle, Jon is back on form. He gave Nush a fatherly chat after she found out she was getting evicted. The man cares.
16/07/2003
Jon thrilled the other housemates today with details of his job -
"I'm a Data strategy manager, I lead a team of analysts who build databases and small systems but we work outside of IT.
Our focus isn't just delivering the systems it's actually making sure they do the job they're supposed to do, so it's spending as much time after the project with the users to make sure they're capturing the right information."
The ever articulate Ray responded -
"I've got a theory that IT people are the biggest bunch of f*&%$!?* w*&%$£*!".
Jon parried-
"The good thing about my team is the systems we build evolve, over time. We won't just do a project for a few months, we'll work in a department constantly to make sure they stay current and we get the maximum out of them."
Ray was left unable to reply as his mind tried to grasp the evolving Tickle project team. Do YOU want to work for the Tickle Team? Do YOU want to be at the cutting edge of evolving departmental IT? Yes, so do I.
15/07/2003
Jon's new deep red dressing gown has been getting an airing. Sales of this particular shade of gown have gone through the roof. In the hot weather we are having, people can be seen walking the streets wearing only the 'Jon gown' and looking very stylish indeed.
14/07/2003
Jon has assumed the role of "Big Brother double agent", talking into his lapel mike in a confidential manner when others are out of earshot.
As promised, Jon has started to 'mix it up' today. Ray found out that Tickle couldn't nominate or be nominated for eviction this week and went quite, quite mad. There was a great deal of swearing, Jon remained calm.
After reading out some instructions from Big Brother, Jon joked: "Did I forget to tell you I had immunity this week?".
Ray then stormed into the garden, saying it was "not fair that Jon was getting a second chance" at the £70,000 prize.
As a returning contestant, Big Brother has ruled that Jon can't win the 70K - but he hasn't told them that. Steph said to Jon - "Perhaps there's something you're not telling us." Jon replied - "There's loads I'm not telling you.....". Big Brother has suddenly become worth watching again.
13/07/2003
Much of the live coverage is concentrating on the housemates that are in the reward room, instead of Jon. Jon did count all the bingo balls in an attempt to find out if the game was fixed. He concluded that it was "There are less balls left than there are numbers on our cards." Aha!
12/07/2003
Jon is settling back into the house. He has communed with the tomatoes. All is well.
Although voted back in, Jon can't win BB4, or nominate, or be nominated, or talk about the outside world. He's just there. Being the Tickle.
11/07/2003
Tonight's BB has been extended by 15 minutes, rumours are flying around about why. We do have 2 contacts at Channel 4 who hinted they might let us know soon, we'll keep you posted.
One marvellous rumour is that the public will get to vote another housemate in, possibly an EX housemate. We can confirm that all the ex-housemates will be there tonight, so VOTE FOR JON (just in case it's true!).
The OTHER rumour is that Avid Merrion will enter the house. We'd much rather have Tickle.
WooooooooHoooooooooo!!!!!!!
Justice has been served, the Tickle is back. With 62% of the vote Jon Tickle is back in the BB house. His reaction to hearing he had won the public vote was - "oh well". And to how he felt about going back in - "Fine, fine." "I'm gonna mix it up". Jon's intention is "to play games with their minds", there will be dancing in the streets tonight. Well, outside my house anyway.
On entering the house - "I want to see my F***ing tomatoes". Rock and Roll Jon.
10/07/2003
Another new Jon website - Jontickle.com is up and running. See our links page.
The Norwich Evening News has some interesting Jon News- HERE about Jon's triumphant return to Norwich this coming weekend.
He will be paid a "substantial" fee for the appearance.
Oddly the article refers to his brother (Phil) as "Matt", can anyone explain this??
09/07/2003
Tickle on TV - Jon described Only Fools And Horses as a "timeless classic".
Jon was asked "How's celebrity?" and answered "I'm chatting up random people I'd never have had a chance with before".
08/07/2003
Jon's back on RISE again with a menagerie of old housemates. Lovely though Jon is on RISE, we want to see him doing so much more, give him his own show, give him the lead on Broadway, let him rule the world....
Jon made the news today -
"Birmingham’s biggest pop party of the year attracted a host of star performers and more than 25,000 fans to Cannon Hill Park.
Saturday’s six-hour BRMB Party in the Park featured top acts Westlife, Busted and Danni Minogue - but it was the surprise guests that stole the show.
Big Brother evictees Federico Martone and Jon Tickle and Blue’s Simon Webbe sparked a frenzy when they unexpectedly appeared on stage.
"
