If there is any criticism I can level at Big Brother this year its that the voting and the evictions for the most part have been a little on the predictable side. Sezer, Grace and now the Mancunian mouth Lisa took the long walk, leaving the house a potentially quieter place in her absence.
She came, she swore, she smoked. The latter two she did incessantly, as the prospect of nicotine starvation approached her temper went up like a balloon. This was the girl most likely to forearm smash someone in the face and leave them picking up thier own teeth. Luckily (depending on how controversial you like your TV) she was evicted before this could happen.
Shame. That still leaves us with the glib honey coated gloating of Richard and Susie to contend with. Still Lisa gave an endearing enough interview and to the amazement of all concerned managed to curb her language for its entire duration (remember folks, this was a girl who notched up 88 fucks in one diary room session). Personally speaking out of the four that were up for the chop tonight I think Imogen would have been a better housemate to shed at this stage, but hey, the majority spoke and who am I to question their collective wisdom.
Elsewhere in the house, it’s not necessarily the healthiest environment to be if your name is Pete. The nation’s favourite Tourettes sufferer seems to have garnered the attention of all the female housemates. Right from the clingy strop merchant Nikki (tactical?), the blonde “Is It” girl Aisleyn (unusual), right through to the comedy breasted Lea (scary). There stands a man who couldn’t look more uncomfortable if his arse was on fire.
The housemates successfully managed to negotiate a task in which they had to perform a majorette’s routine. Glyn performed as the unlikely band leader showing his growing confidence as he stood up to the snide comments of the odious Richard (which he didn’t take well, and I suspect which led to him nominating Glyn). Mikey entertained the girls with an impromptu display of his packet when the wind blew his skirt up. Imogen meanwhile continued to do…well nothing really.
So just as I think things are about to settle down and become decidedly stately. Davina announces a twist…
…And it’s a good ‘un.
How does the prospect of a secret house grab you. Imagine if you will a secret house bolted on to the existing one. The only thing it shares with the existing domicile will be the diary room. Now imagine that this house will be populated by five new housemates who are somehow unaware they are inot in the real Big Brother house but a counterpart. The next person to get the push will not leave down the stairs but instead they will walk into this new house at which point the new housemates will be brought in to play the game in this new parallel world.
It’s like that episode of Star Trek…
Stay tuned.
