Imagine you were a contestant in the Big Brother House. No, really – you're going to love this. Just how far would you go to ensure your status as a housemate?


Would you shave off your eyebrows? Or maybe walk across broken glass? Perhaps you'd allow yourself to believe someone was riding a motocross bike over you? Or how about changing your name – legally, by deed poll – to, say, Dogface, or Halfwit? Because that's just what Sophie and Freddie did – or as we should now call them, Dogface and Halfwit.


Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of laughter when they first spilled the beans to the group, but it sank in eventually. "We've legally changed our names," trilled an excited Dogface as they emerged from the Diary Room.

"I've got a new name," added Halfwit.

"I'm Dogface," said Dogface.

"And I'm Halfwit," said Halfwit.


Are you getting all this?


So to make things absolutely clear, Sophie will from this moment on be called Dogface and Freddie will be called Halfwit.


Who'd you think will crack first?

    Should have given them names that were more suited. Freddie knows he's a clever lad & Sophie knows she's been able to make a living from her looks so instead why not names that get at them for being what each knows they are or could be seen as being? E.g. Sophie could be Bimbo or Freddie Fauntleroy. If the idea is to give them names that are intolerable for them they need to really touch nerves. BTW I actually quite like both of them - I just think the names could be way more effective.

    In reply, it is legally binding and you don't have to do it in front of a lawyer. (I changed my surname by deed poll) They'll be able to change it back pretty quickly & easily though, if they pay the fee! .....I think they could have thought up funnier names though........

    The best bit about this was seeing the non housemate's faces when Dogface and Halfwit walked in after their task. Oh and of course Sophie's stupidity which comes across as genuine!
